Sherry, who had just bid goodbye to her parents, was escorted to the airport by one of the soldiers serving Thirteen's Battalion.

The journey was smooth since the roads only had a few cars in it, for most of the citizens of the Cygni Continent had already been evacuated.

When the young lady arrived at the airport and was about to enter the gate, she found two adorable twin girls with pink hair, seemingly around seven to nine years old, blocking her path.

"Big Sister, are you going to meet Big Brother Zion in the Rigel Continent?" one of the little girls asked. "We want to go there too!"

"You know Zion?" Sherry crouched down to look at the two adorable girls in their eye level. "Yes!"

"Cinnamon knows big brother Zion!"

"What are your names?" Sherry frowned. "And where are your parents? Also, I'm heading to the Rigel Continent, and it's a dangerous place. Are you even allowed to go there?"

"Big Sister has so many questions." one of the little girls pouted. "My name is Maple, and this is my sister, Cinnamon."

"Our parents are back home," Cinnamon answered. "Also, we want to see Big Brother because he is good to us!"

Sherry blinked once then twice before tilting her head to the side.

She was going to a very dangerous place, so how could she possibly bring along two little girls with her?

"I'm sorry, but I can't bring you with me," Sherry said in a serious tone. "I'm going to a very dangerous place. There are a lot of monsters there, you know?"

"We know there are monsters there," Maple commented.

"Cinnamon wants to taste them all," Cinnamon smiled sweetly. "Also, big brother Zion's cooking is very good. I love them!"

Sherry's expression immediately changed when she heard the words "Big Brother Zion's cooking is very good."

As someone who had eaten the teenage boy's cooking once, Sherry would never want to eat it again!

"I'm sorry, but I can't take the two of you with me," Sherry said firmly. "Your parents must be worried about the two of you, so go home, okay?"

Maple and Cinnamon pouted and looked at the teenage girl with pitiful looks on their faces.

However, Sherry steeled herself and lightly patted their heads before walking through the gate to catch her flight.

"Big Sister, see you later!" Maple shouted.

"Cinnamon will see you soon!" Cinnamon called out.

Thinking that the two girls were just bidding her goodbye, she waved her hand at them and proceeded to the gate where the Leventis private jet was parked.

Half an hour later, the Jet soared to the sky of the Cygni Continent.

It would take them twelve hours to reach the Rigel Continent, so Sherry decided to take a short nap first.

A few hours later...

"Miss, I'd like some chicken wings. Do you have that?"

"Cinnamon wants a glass of orange juice, please!"

"Where did the two of you come from?!" The Stewardess, who had originally come to ask Sherry what she wanted to eat for lunch, suddenly found two little girls in the Private Jet's VIP Compartment. "How did you get here?!"

"Don't worry, we aren't suspicious people," Maple replied.

"Cinnamon is not suspicious at all~" Cinnamon answered.

Sherry stirred in her sleep because she could hear some exchange of words that disrupted her sleep.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw two familiar little girls, arguing with the Stewardess.

"If you don't feed us properly, we will complain to Big Brother Zion!" Maple decided to use the Zion Card in order to get her way. "If you don't have chicken wings, Fried Chicken is good too!"

"Big Brother Zion is our Big Brother, you know?" Cinnamon stated. "Big Sister Remi and Little Rhia are our friends!"

The Stewardess paused for a bit since the two girls seemed to really know who their Employer

was.

However, she still couldn't understand how the two little girls managed to sneak past their security checks and enter the private jet without being discovered by anyone!

"This..." the Stewardess was at a loss for words and wanted to call her superiors to ask them if they should return to the Cygni Continent or continue with their flight to the Riglel Continent.

Sherry, who was now wide awake, looked at the two girls in surprise.

"Maple, Cinnamon? What are you doing here?!" Sherry, who met the two girls earlier,

couldn't help but look at them in disbelief.

"Hello, big sister," Maple replied with a smile. "We said that we will see you later, and now we're here!"

"Surprise!" Cinnamon said as she raised both of her hands.

The corner of Sherry's and the Stewardess' lips twitched after hearing what the two

troublemakers had to say.

They were indeed surprised, and were now just as helpless as to what to do next.

"I'll call Zion," Sherry sighed. "Maybe he has a solution for this problem."

The Stewardess nodded, knowing that this was indeed the only thing they could do right now. She was very worried that their Young Master would punish them for allowing two stowaways who were pestering her to feed them with food.

Fortunately, despite flying at a very high altitude, the communicator managed to connect to the other side without problems.

"Sherry, are you already on your way here?" Zion asked as soon as his image appeared on the communicator.

"Yes, I'm already on the private jet of the Leventis Family," Sherry replied. "But, there is a problem. There's two little girls who snuck up inside the private jet, and they seem to want to

meet you."

"Two little girls?" Thirteen frowned. "What are their names?"

"Maple and Cinnamon."

"... Let me see them."

Sherry approached the two little girls and asked them to look at the communicator in her

wrist.

"Hello, Big Brother!" Maple waved.

"Cinnamon is here too!" Cinnamon also waved at the communicator.

Seeing that they were indeed the two girls whom he had met in the Leventis Family's theme

park, Thirteen couldn't help but look at them in a new light.

"How did the two of you sneak inside the Private Jet?" Thirteen asked.

"We just did?" Maple blinked.

"Grandpa told us that if people ask us this question, we should say it's a trade secret!"

Cinnamon answered.

Thirteen had already known back then that the two little girls weren't ordinary children.

Maple and Cinnamon had left a deep impression on him because they were like two gluttons who wouldn't get full no matter how much they ate.

Because of that, Thirteen guessed that they must have some kind of supernatural powers that

were related to eating.

"Big Brother, we want to see you~" Maple said.

"We definitely don't want to go to the Rigel Continent because we want to eat monster meat,

you know?" Cinnamon said with a smile.

Sherry, who was in the middle of the two girls, could only look at Zion with the "What are we

going to do with them?" gaze.

The teenage boy pondered for a bit before making a decision.

"Since they are already there, just take them with you," Thirteen ordered. "I'll think of

something when they arrive here."

""'Yay!"" the two little girls cheered happily, making Thirteen look at them fondly.

"Big Brother, the big sister here doesn't want to give us some chicken wings," Maple immediately started to complain.

"Cinnamon wants orange juice!" Cinnamon joined her sister, deciding to press while the iron

was still hot.

"Okay, the two of you can eat as much as you want," Thirteen replied. "But make sure to

behave during the rest of the flight, okay?"

""Yes~""

Thirteen then talked to the Stewardess and gave her instructions to treat the two girls as VIP

Guests, just like Sherry.

With the confirmation of her employer, the Stewardess promised to give Maple and Cinnamon

the VIP Service they were entitled to.

Sherry wanted to ask Zion many questions about the two girls, but she decided to just wait

until they arrived at the Rigel Continent to do it.

For the time being, she chatted with Maple and Cinnamon, who were happily eating chicken

and drinking orange juice.

To her surprise, she found out that one of the Wanderers who accompanied them in their journey, Stella, was Maple's and Cinnamon's sister.

She could still remember how she was impressed by the black-haired beauty's archery, as well

as close combat techniques.

Her prowess with the bow was exceptional, surpassing all the Wanderers she had seen,

including Mildred of the Hero Party.

"Does your big sister know that the two of you plan to meet Zion in the Rigel Continent?"

Sherry asked.

"No," Maple replied. "Don't tell her, okay?"

"Cinnamon snuck out, so if big sister finds out, she will definitely be angry," Cinnamon

replied with a frown. "So don't tell her, okay?"

Sherry didn't promise anything, and simply said "Mmm."

She neither affirmed or rejected the two girls' request. She and Stella were only acquaintances, and they weren't really close to each other. However,

the more Sherry talked to the two girls, the more curious she became about their family.

Several hours later, the private jet finally started their descent to the Rigel Continent.

Maple and Cinnamon were sleeping on their seats without a care in the world. Sherry, on the other hand, was looking outside of the window.

This was her first time stepping foot into the Rigel Continent, for this was one of the most

dangerous places in the world.

When Zion invited her to participate in training, she was more than happy to accept his

invitation.

But when she realized that the Training Ground would be the lands of the Rigel Continent,

even Sherry felt that this training that she was about to take part in wouldn't be as simple as she originally thought it would be.
