As she fully awaken. Akari rose up from being seated. She looked on the Mr. Elc.

"Mister Elc, can you find me some container? It size like a bucket. I'm going to fetch fishing." Akari politely asked Mr. Elc.

She walked to the river cliff along with her unsheathed tanto and glared on the river. She recalled that it was safe said by Jazdia off screened as the whole party spending the night eating and telling tales. Proceeded to remove her clothing to revealed her white swim wear. A medium well shaped body and unscarred milkish skin despite as a sword user. She tied her hair into ponytail. While waiting on the container, she began to do warm up before for a swim. She were train to be be an excellent swimmer during her younger age of training. Ninjas were meant to aquire this aquatic skills for their operations.

Once some people keep appearing on the campfire. It was her turn to appear. Exiting from her and Miwa's tent, she is stupidly beautiful on her own, with her naturally long hair down in a classical length and just wearing her black suit underdress along with black shorts with bare naked legs. Stretched nearby her tent and decided to approach the people who were already awake gathered along with her ninjato.

"Ohay-... Good morning, everyone." Akari greeted them and sat beside Miwa while keeping her sheathed blade.

As congratulating the young Miko, she patted her and gave her a warmth smile. She then went back to the serving pot. Filled her bowl, good thing there is an extra that supposed to be for the coachman. Grab a spoonful and put her on her mouth. While eating, she filling up the pot again with ingredients as she is aware from her non-human party members. The snake girl and the dragon-kin knight surely have more portion needed. Regarding how good the two we're, the young kunoichi doesn't mind to fill up their stomach not just one pot but two or more.

"A Miko?" Akari said to herself and nearby party member if they can heard her low volume of voice.

Akari rarely sees fellow country folk. With her body comparison, the young Miko had clearly just arrived in a foreign nation. Temples follow rigorous diets, making them appear smaller and thinnier. Akari is familiar with it from her previous diets as a ninja, staring at her is like staring at a previous version of herself. She was also smaller and thinnier than her current stacked, taller and healthy medium frame, for living independent and as an adventurer for years. Based on her current condition, the young Miko appears to be abandoned or separated from her group. Akari filled the bowl with a stew before approaching her. Akari's appearance suggested that young Miko may recognized her especially how she wears and carrying a familiar weapon, yet she nonetheless handed her a bowl of stew for hospitality.

"No, we are currently resting for the night. You must be tired. Why don't you have a sit, take this bowl of stew and tell us what happened?" Akari answered the young Miko politely and with warmth smile.

"Ah, Apple huh. Well yeah it adds malic acid flavor." Akari replied to Jazdia in a positive gesture.

Akari put in the chopped and peeled potatoes first and stirred the pot gently once the meats were cooked. As Jazdia brought those apples for her, she peeled some and cut some into nice pieces. Akari checked the stew again after some careful waiting to check if the potatoes had softened. She added the vegetables first before the fruit since apples were easier to cook than the available prepared vegetables. Once the vegetables are good, Akari finally put in the apple and let it stir slowly until the condiments thickened the stew.

"Everyone ready your bowl, the dinner is ready." Akari gestured to everyone.

"That packing condiment seems interesting." She continued, but that phrase could only be heard by herself and nearby people.

She cleansed her mouth with water from a gourd-shaped water bottle and spat it on the ground. Akari took some time for resting during the break and time to retrieve her thrown weapons. Her luck will be decided by the god. Once she gathered it for a chance, she repacked her things and tagged along with the rest to depart once the snake girl went back.

After they arrived at the campsite. Akari chose her spot nearby to the campfire. She listened to the rumors about this place until the party went for the introduction. She waited respectfully for her turn, and once it went to her. "Akari, a once ninja from a faraway land," she said with a smile.

Later on. She went straight to the remaining food supplies for a checkup. Realized that it can only make a stew. She can be seen preparing a stew. It will be a hunter's pot.

Once the battle was over. Akari retrieved the backpack from a safe distance and returned to the party. She glanced at the female elven ranger for a time before receiving a pouch of gold from one of the mercenaries. Confused about what the experienced mercenary stated to them after dividing the compensation. Traditionally, she toiled until the job was completed before receiving payment, and the mission is only beginning. She shrugged and put it in her bag. After that, her focus returned to the female Elven ranger, who appeared to recoup her lost life ki by simply being near the fire. Strange. Later on, the female elven ranger regrouped with the party and gave them a ten-minute break.

Still recovering her mana, not yet ready for Shadow Clones to retrieve her throwable weapons. Recollecting from her memories from her duplicates nearby the Snake Girl. There was a time that Snake Girl consumed the beast in a barbaric manner. Her stomach and whole body reacted. Mouth gotten full, decided to move away from the party, and nauseated on the ground.

Akari stayed on guard as the barrier was besieged by the attacking wooden giants. Hopefully the barrier sustained the damage. Her dragon-humanoid teammate began to make a move and told their team to do something to the other one. Akari nodded.

Akari slowly stepped back for momentum and proceeded to accelerate. She climbs up onto the back of her massive dragon-humanoid teammate. Vaulted high enough while rotating in midair and executed a hand sign. Once again Akari unleashed a bluish, fire-whiskered dragon and completed her aerial backflip. The bluish fire dragon head traveled from air to ground towards the other wooden giant behind the front one. Her execution was just like a blink of an eye as it hard to anticipate.

She then descended and smoothly slid down from her party member's tail back to the barrier.

The three figures of Akari remained idle and posed no threat to the toll-gating Eyeless Drake. Let the Elven Elder with a lantern talk to the drake. The drake gave them a warning and fled. The poison mist corrupted the tree line, and two wood giants erupted from the ground. The two mercenary swordsmen backed off, and the female healer created a dome-like barrier once she and the elven elder nodded to each other. She and her people have a deep respect for nature, but only as long as it was consumed by the corruption and posed a threat to her current party. Those two Wood Giants need to be neutralized, and a fire will do to be extinguished.

Two of the Akari, the one closest to the female elven healer and the one that slew the corrupted hound, exited from the dome-like barrier. Within the blink of an eye, two figures of Akari dashed ahead from their previous spot. The remaining one switched back to the spot where the closest figure was next to the female elven healer. With a formation of two, the two figures of Akari executed hand signs in synchronization. The two take a strong inhale and followed by a blowing exhale, while hands are still together. Two figures of Akari unleash a powerful purifying bluish flame, forming into the head of the Asian Dragon. The dragon head roared and traveled to each of the giants. Exploding upon impact and creating a bluish burning area.

After executing the fire extermination, two figures of Akari faded away.
