Upon receiving the distress signal, the group quickly rushed to the se.

  At that moment, several monsters were attag the people ihe hall. Some individuals were holding shields to block the attacks of the raging monsters, while others were in the back, tending to the injured.

  Among the most eye-catg were the beastmasters, who aheir monstrous panions to eh the enraged beasts. Some relied on speed, dodging the monsters' attacks while disrupting their movements, while others used sheer deferength to ehe onsught.

  "Rockshatter Turtle, use the Rock Ravine Shell!"

  Guu!!

  "Thundercw Tiger, use Wind Fury!"

  Roar!!

  The beastmasters tinually directed their monster panions to execute various tactics. Although it might have resembled something from another world ame, the results were impressive. At the very least, no further casualties had occurred... for now.

  "Uh-oh, I'm just a little rabbit. I 't unicate with these monsters!"

  In previous instances when the monsters went into a frenzy, Momo had mao unicate with them usiures and sounds simir to those made by rabbits, calming them down. But the monsters appearing this time were so different from rabbits that she had no idea how to hahem.

  Even if force were an option, the people here either cked the strength or risked dealing too much damage uionally, which would raise the monsters' vigince. After all, they'd only just mao settle most of them down.

  "Mr. Gregory, your device still be used?"

  "I'm sorry, the only devices that might be useful aren't patible with them."

  "Ugh, this is so annoying!"

  Momo was almost ready to pull her rabbit ears in frustration.

  "What if we use pressure to force them to quiet down?"

  Farkonia suggested to Momo.

  "Hmm… we should avoid that if possible. Due to their past experienistreatment, they’re still highly sensitive. It's best to use a gentler approach… Ah! Wait!"

  As Momo was expining, she saw a blonde girl walking toward the raging monsters without a sed thought.

  "Miss, get back! It's too dangerous over there!" A member of the Alliance holding a shield shouted toward Aris.

  "...Wait a minute, is this okay? This is definitely a huge problem! This is bad on so many levels!"

  Momo's face quickly turned pale with panid she eaking ily.

  "She'll be fihese monsters won't be able to hurt her."

  "That's not what I mean!"

  Despite Farkonia's reassuring words, Momo wasn’t forted in the least.

  At that moment, the enraged monsters noticed Aris approag and reflexively swung their massive arms toward her.

  "Damn it, is it too te?"

  Just as the members of the Alliance braced for the immi disaster, something strange happened.

  The monster's arm stopped mere inches from Aris's body, uo move any further.

  "Wait... did I just see..."

  A few individuals with higher magical sensitivity faintly saw a dense swirl of magic surrounding Aris, which solidified into a shield that blocked the monster's attack.

  "...Thinking of rebelling, are we?"

  Aris spoke, her voice calm yet authoritative.

  "!?"

  After Aris's words, the mohat had been charging toward her trembled violently, then gradually rexed its body.

  "Roar..."

  To a beastmaster, it was clear that the monster, which had once been rampaging, had now calmed down, even appearing to submit.

  And it didhere. After the first monster had settled, the others, still in their frenzy, noticed the ge and turheir attention toward Aris.

  In that instant, all the monsters seemed to uand, falling into a plete silence, as if the frightened, screaming infants had been forted by the sight of their mother.

  "...Phew... Thank goodness it dide..."

  Seeing the situation stabilize, Momo let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

  From the moment she first saw Aris, her instinct as a rabbit had alerted her to the danger, as if Aris were a hunter who had sughtered tless rabbits.

  Although she soon realized Aris wasn’t the kind of person to kill without cause, the fear remai was a biological instinct.

  That said, Momo wasn’t afraid of Aris being harmed by the monsters, but rather the monsters being harmed by Aris.

  ‘Wait, she might even... eat them...’

  Having once been a uni rabbit, she truly uood what it felt like to be seen as a potential meal by other creatures and races.

  Luckily, Aris haden the monsters, and they hadn’t resumed their attacks.

  ‘No, wait… she’s the one who handles healing for the injured monsters and people. That makes sense.’

  Watg the monsters—who usually intimidated others—now showing affe toward Aris, Momo recalled some information she had gathered retly.

  For most monsters, if someone saved them during a moment of crisis and suffering, it was only natural for them to feel a sense of loyalty or affe toward that person.

  Mamasters had their first enter with their panions during such circumstances, which ultimately led them to bee beastmasters, like Momo’s own master.

  "Could it be… you unicate with monsters?"

  Suddenly, Gregory spoke up.

  "...Most of them, yes."

  Thanks to her innate skill, Sn of All, Aris could gain partial strength and knowledge from any beings that submitted to her—including the unique unication abilities of the monsters. This allowed her to verse with most monsters. The only exceptiohose whose unication was either impossible or extremely rare and distinct, which could be ignored.

  "...If that's the case, please, you must..."

  "Alright, alright, Gregory, calm down for now."

  The founder of the Alliance, Lynne, interrupted Gregory.

  "This matter has been resolved, but others remain. Miss Aris, may I ask for your assistan calming the rest of the monsters and the people? It won’t take long."

  The monsters and humans that had been brought here were uneasy due to their past experiences and the sudden ge in their enviro, as evidenced by the rampaging monsters.

  If Aris, the one who had saved them, went to calm them down, the situation would likely improve drastically.

  "...Where?"

  Her cise answer made her iions clear.

  "Momo, please guide them."

  "Got it!"

  Momo quickly responded and headed for the back door.

  "Oh, and if anyone’s ied, you e along as well. Think of it as a tour. The backyard has some lovely sery."

  "Mm, let’s go then."

  With nothing else to attend to, the others followed suit, leaving the up and tending to the injured in the hands of the Alliance members ihe hall.
