Knowing Alaster's plan, I was in no rush to return to the resort.
My two staff members were extremely grateful to me and worked diligently to prove their worth, leaving me with little to worry about.
There were fewer places where I needed to step in.
Instead, I decided to stop by the local New Moon Base—the place I had been forced to escape from before.
New Moon Base had been established a year into the apocalypse. Its resources were relatively abundant, thanks to a large number of high-level ability users it recruited early on.
However, its culture was toxic.
Women had an extremely low status there.
Back when I was protecting Minna, she would have been exploited to death if not for my efforts.
Entering New Moon Base required payment in crystals or food. After consulting the system, I handed over a loaf of bread.
"Isn't that Mia?"
Someone in the guarding squad recognized me. "Where's the Deman?"
I replied coldly, "I don't know."
They laughed mockingly. "Weren't you his woman? How could you not know?"
The laughter spread.
"Ah—"
Suddenly, the person who had mocked me first let out a scream, slapping at the flames on his body. "What the hell, where did this fire come from?"
Frederick's fire ability was at level eight. I glanced at him meaningfully and subtly gave him a thumbs-up.
