The Allied Forces were preparing to depart, but they no longer needed our help.
Most of us were on standby, except for Riana, who had been assigned a special mission.
Her task was simple: maintain her own stability.
Riana had a unique trait—when she cried, it rained, as if the sky itself were pouring tears. To activate this, she had to take a special drug that acted like a depression-inducing agent.
This meant Riana would need to use her mental fortitude, rather than her mana or stamina, to harness her powerful abilities.

“Hey, come on, think. Would we really waste time on re-education for a retired old man just because we’re bored?” I said.
“Unlike the others, you don’t have much to do,” Riana replied.
Her retort made me stumble. “W-well, that’s true…”
She was still a thick-skull, and I still couldn’t get along with her.
