Scene — Inside Elia city, in the guild hall, everyone is tense. Yatrans has just returned and entered; people start questioning him and informing him about the city's situation.
Eui: Five months ago, TAIL FOX came — there were many foxes from 1-tail up to 8-tail, and even a 9-tail fox who seems like their leader. Do you know why they came here?
Yatrans: Why?
Toru: They gave the whole city five months to decide about taking Zil back — four months have already passed, only a few days remain, and you've arrived at the right time.
Yatrans: Wait — for Zil? But why?
Suzu: What do you mean why? She's a tail fox, and the other tail foxes are her family. Of course they've come to take her back.
Yatrans: But I found her half-dead in the jungle; there were no other tail foxes there then.
Pilo: It's possible a beast-seller captured her and she somehow escaped, but she was hurt and then she came to you.
Jola: That's possible — anyway, whatever happened, we must return her.
Yatrans (emotional): I won't give Zil up. She's like family to me — I won't hand her over. She's like a sister, like my daughter. I won't give her away. (tearing up slightly)
Scene — Yatrans sits down and holds Zil tightly.
Zil: kuuuu kuuu (sadly)
Yatrans: You won't go anywhere, right? You'll stay with me. I won't let you go anywhere! (crying, sad)
Zil: kuu kuu kuuu (crying)
Scene — Everyone grows a little emotional.
Rota: B-but Yatrans… there's no other way, understand. (sad tone)
Yatrans: No!
Suzu: Alright. I have orders — as soon as you returned I must inform the Elder. Come with me to see the Elder.
Yatrans: Okay, but I won't give Zil to anyone.
Suzu: Hmm. For now Zil is our ally. She'll stay with you.
Scene — Yatrans, Zil and Suzu walk together and go to the top floor where the guild elder's room is; the three enter.
Suzu: Guild Elder, this is Yatrans, and this is the tail beast responsible for all this — her name is Zil.
Scene — The Elder is seated in his chair.
Suzu: Yatrans, this Elder's name is Li — Elder Li.
Li: Come, sit, Yatrans.
Scene — Yatrans sits.
Li: I won't scold you about what you were doing or where you found Zil, but right now returning her would be for the best — and if we don't do that…
Yatrans: If we don't, then what?
Scene — Silence.
Yatrans: If we don't, then what?! (angry)
Li: Hahaha — calm down. Look: if we don't return Zil, this entire city will be destroyed.
Yatrans: How could that happen? I've been here so long — I know our guild has powerful adventurers, the army is strong, there are other protection agencies. Why would that cause destruction?
Li: I've explained as much as I can. Now I'll take you to the Home Minister.
Scene — Yatrans and Li stand up and leave the room.
Scene — Inside a large building, in a room where the Home Minister is seated. A knock comes at the door.
HM: Come in.
Scene — Yatrans and Li enter.
HM: Oh — Li.
Li: Sir, this is Yatrans. With him is that tail fox. Yatrans, this is Home Minister Rumu.
Yatrans: It's an honor to meet you, sir Rumu.
Rumu: Sit, Yatrans — Li, you may go.
Li: Yes sir.
Scene — Li leaves and Yatrans sits.
Rumu: Li must have already explained everything to you.
Yatrans: Hmm. (nods)
Rumu: Then hurry up and hand that tail fox over to us. We will return her to them.
Yatrans: Absolutely not. (sad and angry)
Rumu: What?! Do you know what you are saying? Why won't you give her up? (angry, loud)
Yatrans: I love her. How can I give her away? I won't. (sad)
Rumu: Will you destroy the whole city for your love? (angry)
Yatrans: How would the city be destroyed? You have the army, the guild has many powerful members — attack them and defeat them, wage war! (frustrated)
Rumu: You would start a war where one person's desire causes a thousand deaths! (angry) If returning that tail beast saves many lives and stops the war, then she must be handed over — whether by peaceful means or by force. Think. Will you hand her over peacefully, or will we have to use force?
Yatrans: And if I refuse no matter what?
Rumu: Then you will be taken by force — killed and taken! (threat)
Yatrans: !! (terrified and shaken) G-give me some days. I will do something — I'll find a way and fight them myself. No one else needs to come; I promise no one from the city will die — but I will not give Zil to anyone!
Rumu: Hah… fine. You have ten days. Do what you can. On the 11th day I want a result. If you don't find a solution, you must return that tail beast to them.
Yatrans: Thank you, sir! (relieved but tense)
Rumu: You may go.
Scene — Yatrans leaves.
Rumu (muttering): What can this B-rank adventurer possibly do in ten days?
— End translation.
