"Mrs Khamishah! So you are here today. Well, where is Mrs Lin?" [Azumi]

"Well, too bad, she's still not here, otherwise, Kirthiga and I will be having a reunion" [Mrs Khamishah]

Khamishah said that, she is a lightly tan woman (more towards the fair skin side) with a scarf (just like Mahsuri) covering her hair, she will usually wear black scarf, as an adventure, black colour are easier to manage as they doesn't get dirty too easily (and even if it were, not many will notice it) 

"Who is she Big brother?" [Angeline]

"Hmm... let just said she's a Saga" [Azumi]

"Huh! Saga!? As in the only SS ranked adventure!?" [Angeline]

"Not yet! I'm still not a saga!" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Oh come on, you are *this* close to become one though" [Azumi]

""Azumi's right you know"" [Clair, Kirthiga]

"Well, you being here mean that you also had a thing to tell us right" [Azumi]

"That's correct, well, Lin aren't here yet but I think we can just start the meeting" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Well, how about the two of you take a seat first" [Duke Hiaccio]

""Sure"" [Azumi, Angeline]

Azumi and Angeline take their seat just beside eachother, they first had a dinner. Angeline, seeing the variety of food can't help but drool a little bit as she's too hungry (so much so that Azumi teases her by wiping the drool and remind her of manner table which led to a sulking Angeline). After the dinner

"Well, how about I start giving my report first" [Mrs Khamishah]

"So, what are the scope of your job" [Azumi]

"Basically, Kirthiga here ask me to investigate a number of things on behalf of her, but mostly about the ever changing monster ecology as of lately" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Ohh, interesting and why is that?" [Azumi]

"Well, you did said that you encountered a fake raja orc at the royal library at the capital, The Duke household also encounter the same, furthermore, I received the report that you encountered some form of monster control different from that of conventional monster taming, and all three of them have had a connection to either the dark guild as well as the Aster" [Mrs Kirthiga]

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but monster control? Isn't that the same as..." [Angeline]

"Yeah, what happen to your country. Basically Kingdom of Raya had a series of monster attack which lead the country force to collapse from exhaustion and then Aster arrive" [Azumi]

"And to think we haven't got any news from it" [Albert]

"Regrettable but not weird as Raya and the surrounding countries are quite a secretive one and just like how we can sniff and kill any rat among us, they can do the same, even better. And with how the church had taken control of the country, the flow of information had becoming tighter which lead to next question..." [Clair]

"Just how come we haven't heard of single thing, that's impossible!" [Albert]

"Well, coming back to the topic, I might be able to provide an explanation to that" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Sorry, we side tracked a little bit" [Azumi]

"Don't worry, at first, the request from Kirthiga are quite a weird one with no real sense of direction but as I talked with scholar from various region and some witnessed, I began to understand something, while it's not strange for the dark guild to smuggle some exotic monster for those noble, they begin to not only hunt down said monster but also the common unvaluable monster like goblin, orc, lesser golem etc. Well, let me just give you guys the list of monster that they hunt down quite actively as of lately" [Mrs Khamishah]

Khamishah give them a copy of paper that contains the list of monster that the dark guild had hunted down

goblin

orc

toyol

lesser golem

giant fire ant

slimy toad

burung tiga alam

slime (in various form)

yaksa

blood fish

behemoth

False huhu crocodile

three eyed crane

amnesiac baboon

Stone gargoyles

mirror lizard

space penguin

and that's only the first page out of six page, with each specifying further subtype of said monster and the minimum number that she managed to sniffed out

"Amnesiac baboon" [Lady Air]

"Interesting" [Duke Hiaccio]

"And quite a number of it, so much so that it's had been driven to extinction in some place" [Ray]

"Learning aren't you" [Azumi]

"Thank you" [Ray]

"Amnesiac baboon, thus that mean, but how?" [Angeline]

"Beat me, I don't know the details of how they use it but that might explain why none of the information from Raya and surrounding countries not leaking out as they can simply let the people forget about it, don't you agree" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Possible, and you also mentioned here about how a priest had been a regular customer for the baboon" [Azumi]

"Well, at first I don't quite believe of the said ADA group but there's also witnessed saying someone related to the church had been handling orc, goblin and those thrash mob monster which is strange" [Mrs Khamishah]

"I see..." [Azumi]

"Well, not only that, it's not on my report but lately, the slave merchant activity had increased and what's more, the number of children from various races that they kidnapped to be sold had exponentially increase as well" [Mrs Khamishah]

"!" [Ray]

"Don't worry Ray, mother here to protect you" [Clair]

Clair said that as she pat his head which calmed Ray down 

"I see, and the customer?" [Lady Air]

"Was it the church?" [Azumi]

"You are quick to blame them aren't you, although you are not technically wrong per say, it's the Aster Co, the mega company backed by Aster, although it's only rumour and I can't confirm it much" [Mrs Khamishah]

"Well, we did suspected the mega company in Zlatan's case but we couldn't find any conclusive evidence back then" [Lady Air]

"Well, that person in Aster had said the number of suspicious carriage being brought to Aster had been increasing, although he just think of it as them thriving in economy" [Azumi]

"A possibility, but it can be also due to the smuggling of monster and children as mentioned beforehand" [Duke Hiaccio]

"Maybe, but with their country expanding, it's not strange for them to bring them to different center" [Mr Wright]

"Well, that's about what I managed to catch, pretty unexpected even for me" [Mrs Khamishah]

"That's a soon to be saga for you" [Mrs Kirthiga]

"Saga is cool!" [Mile]

"Well, how about a tea break first before moving on to Azumi report" [Mr Wright]

"That will be nice" [Clair]

After a small tea break

"Well, I guess I should report first, as I mentioned earlier, Raya and surrounding countries had be taken over by Aster by mean of monster control and according to that person, its..." [Azumi]

Before Azumi manage to finish his sentence, a knight bust open the door, looking panic

"Monster, monster attack! And there's a fake raja Behemoth in it as well!" [Knight]

"!" [Other]
