Manga Chapter 09

Summary
Flum has an unexpected encounter with a former enemy. Certain things are revealed for those involved.

Synopsis
The chapter begins with a brief flashback to when Flum was in the Hero Party gathering firewood, and she had a brief encounter with Neigass. Humans are told that demons are merciless monsters who will kill humans without hesitation or remorse. It was something Flum believed until this day.

Flum is greeted by Neigass, one of the Demon Generals. Flum gets the feeling that Neigass isn't going to kill her, but she remains somewhat guarded. Flum speaks with Neigass only for Sara to interrupt them.

Afterwards, Neigass clears the path for Flum and Sara to leave. The duo leave the area Flum and Sara with as many herbs as they can carry while discussing how much they are looking forward to Milkit's cooking.

Major Events & Continuity

 * Flum and Sara encounter Negiass.
 * Negiass knew Flum from her time in the Hero Party. This is the first time they are able to speak one-on-one.  Flum is able to get the sense Neigass doesn't intend to harm her, which allows them to have a civil conversation.
 * Sara finds out that Flum was one of the members of the Hero Party, but she was betrayed and sold into slavery.
 * Flum and Sara are successful in finding the herbs.
 * While Neigass is able to defeat the second ogre easily, she is unable to destroy the Origin Core unlike Flum. This showcases that the cores are made of material that are extremely tough, and Flum's powers might be one of the only exceptions.  This also clues Neigass in what Flum's true purpose in the Hero Party was.

Adaptation Differences

 * In the Light Novel, Negiass saves Flum and Sara from a second Ogre Chimera. In the Manga, she kills the second Ogre Chimera after Flum and Sara leave.
