Synopsis
​

Born into a loving family, Femicia appears to have a bright future ahead of her. When she finally turns five, the time comes to go to the church to have her skills appraised. However, while she does receive a monster tamer skill, it turns out that Femicia has zero stars for that ability. To make matters worse, society considers those who have zero stars to be harbingers of misfortune; as a result, Femicia is shunned by everyone—including her family.

Soon enough, Femicia is chased out of her village and is constantly on the run. Fearing for her life, she decides to masquerade as a boy and change her name to Ivy. With a goal given to her by a fortune teller to reach the royal capital, Ivy meets and successfully tames a slime, starting an unlikely friendship that may provide a means to get the destiny she deserves.

Episode 1 was good, but man the backstory is sad for Femicia now Ivy. On a person's fifth birthday, they get a skill along with however many stars their skill has. While she got her tamer skill, she has no stars, so the village turned on her viewing her as cursed, even her parents scorned her. The was eventually banished from the village, and now they even seem intent on having her assassinated with adventurers hunting for her dead or alive. The only person who treated her well and was a bit of a teacher to her was the fortune teller, who has now passed away. The fortune teller advised her to pretend to be a boy for safety, and provided her with some gifts to try and keep her safe.

Ivy came across a slime, and the book she has on her indicated they die within 24 hours, however somehow this one survived. I assume it's linked to her skill. She was able to "tame" it and named it Sora. She's aiming to reach a town near the capital. She also seems to be a reborn reincarnated person, or maybe is the reincarnated person herself. She doesn't have memories all the time, but occasionally there seem to be either memories or some form of communication.

 

Episode 2 was good. Ivy made her way to the town Otolwa, on her way to the town near the capital. On her way, she came across a bunch of wanted posters or herself, although 2/3 sketches left a lot to be desired.

Upon arriving in town, she sold some field mouse meat she had procured herself, for 100 dal and Ivy was told to bring more around if she got it. She then headed over to the bakery, and bought some bread which she hadn't had for a while.

Ivy continued making it a reoccurring routine and was happy with how kind the people of the village were to her. On one of the outings, she found the potions, and Sora ate all of the healing potions which is dangerous for Ivy. Unfortunately, some adventurers came around that the previously had a run in with and had strung up the posters, so she fled.

She had a bad run in with a tree monster that had devoured some people, and it hit her badly injuring her arm and presumably poisoning her. With no potions left, things seem dire. Sora jumped on the arm and Ivy presumes due to it being a monster it's going to eat her, but seems like it's healing her.

 

Episode 3 was good, but man was also fucked up. Back when Ivy was still Femicia and ever since her birth, her family was a completely normal one and kind to her, both her older sister and brother, mother and father. She did want a monster taming skill. When her fifth birthday arrived and she was bestowed a skill, and she got the skill she desired, but apparently had no stars. Not sure if I believe it, it seemed like it had three dots, but I guess not stars specifically. This had her father and siblings hating her and kicking her out, but her mother just broke down after the father basically made an accusatory remark about if Femicia was even his daughter.

Femicia toughed it alone, but passed out from overusing her magic trying to start a fire for warmth, and she was helped by Luba the fortune teller. It wasn't long after Luba apparently got sick and died, and the village chief used this as an excise for it being Femicia's fault for cursing her, and so they had to hunt her down, and her father is happy to kill her. That's basically the whole backstory, crazy how insane her whole village is over it.

Back in the current time, Sora has all but healed Ivy's wound, and Ivy wants to keep going.

 

Episode 4 was good. On the journey to the next town, Ivy caught a snake monster along the way. She also came across a scene of carnage with dead merchants and horses, evident of a monster attack. When she arrived at the town, she alerted the guild about it, and while there was a little questioning if it was bandits, the fact the horses were stolen was a good point Ivy raised. Ivy was told to hang around for a reward if the information proved true.

While waiting around, Ivy sold the snake monster she caught, which netted her 3 gidal the value of 30 field mice. She found a haul of magic bags, which she intends to use to help her carry more things. Magic bag-caption. It was proven her information was true, and it was an ogre attack, so the adventurers suggested that she remain in the city to stay safe. She was rewarded 5 gidal and 2 ladal - gold coins, equivalent to 250 field mice. She got a bit paranoid carrying that much money.
