Fifteen minutes later, Nashetania was lying down in the arena and was receiving a scolding from her maids. On the other side of the arena Chamo and Weylynn were shouting at one another.

Nashetania looked at the cage where her pets had been placed. "Hey, Porta and Puna aren't here."

Of the pets that she had brought along, one of her cats and one of her dogs were not in the cage. The maids stopped their lecture and started to search for the missing animals. They soon found the cat trembling at the edge of the audience section but the dog was nowhere to be found.

"Dog? Got it. We'll look."

After hearing what had happened, Chamo and Weylynn both looked around the arena.

"...maybe..."

Chamo stuck her foxtail grass down her throat and spat out a single giant slug. She then smacked its back again and again. And with a belch, something came out from the slug's throat.

"....Haa....HAA........! Porta! Porta!" Nashetania screamed, rushing over and “ lifting the dog up into a hug.

It was a strange-looking dog. Its face and its body were round and it didn't quite look like a squirrel or a dog. The tips of its fur had been digested, but it didn't seem to have any serious injuries.

"Chamo probably swallowed it without realizing. Hey, you can't eat bad things," Chamo said, scolding her Jyuma.

"Porta, hold on. Porta!" Nashetania shouted her dog's name over and over again. And while watching, Weylynn grabbed her head in distress.

But no one other than Nashetania knew that during the battle that dog had rushed around the arena, as if it were scared. And after confirming that no one was looking at it, the dog jumped into the mouth of the slug Jyuma.

The dog held the tiny diamond fragment in its mouth. Then it pressed the fragment into the inner walls of the slug Jyuma's stomach.

That dog was named Porta. Yet it was nothing more than an alias it had used to sneak around the world.

His true name was Dozzu and he was one of the three Commanders that governed the Kyoma.

"...I was successful, Nashetania," Dozzu said quietly “to Nashetania. Only Nashetania could hear his voice.

The dull-nerved slug Jyuma would probably not notice a jewel being inserted into its stomach. In other words, Chamo would also be unable to detect that there was a jewel inside her.
