The Slave Girl.While Beloukas offers Naofumi a high-level Wolf-man, Naofumi instead buys the much cheaper Tanuki girl Raphtalia. Placing a slave crest on her prevents Raphtalia from betraying or disobeying Naofumi without feeling intense pain, while also linking shared experience gained by one to the other. Raphtalia's recurring nightmares of her parents' deaths in the first Wave have deeply scarred her, making her initially hesitant to kill. Both leave the capital for the small town of Lute for a mine to collect valuable ore, but they're attacked by a high-level dog monster that wounds Naofumi; the same beast type which killed her parents, the monster's appearance sends Raphtalia into shock...
