Fear of Waiting in Uncertainty

The last one to return was Dory's team. Due to the vague coordinates and targets constantly moving away, the location shown by Gaia led them to nowhere.

They only managed to capture four SSS-level monsters. Other than Hydragon, the other three were beaten up by the calamity beast seniors before they could be disciplined.

"Please forgive me, master. We couldn't find the other calamity monsters." Dory knelt down, apologizing before her Goddess Master.

"Our primary target is Hydragon. You convinced him without causing clashes. That is truly an impressive achievement, Dory. Gaia can feel relieved now." Elysia stroked Dory's pink hair and then helped the kneeling mermaid to stand up.

"Mm, thank you, master." Dory blushed a little, feeling incredibly happy and proud to get direct appreciation from her master.
