## Synopsis

Before the Dark Realm fell, Saurva attempted to defeat Jahy and take her place as number 2, numerous times. However, each time she ended up loosing due to some misfortune. After the fall of the Dark Realm, Saurva still believes she is smarter and deserves to be number 2, and sees it as opportunity to defeat Jahy and take her manga crystal, and then restore the Dark Realm. However, she needs to find Jahy, and to her surprise, she ends up finding her fast. As she hides and prepares to attack her from behind, but Jahy states she is ready for the attack, causing Saurva to be surprised that Jahy managed to notice her. However in reality, Jahy was talking to a dog. Saurva takes her magic amplifying potion, which took her three months to make, but with it, she will become much stronger and will be able to take on Jahy. As she prepares to drink it, Jahy decides to leave, surprising Saurva, who then drops her potion. As the potion breaks, she grieves over it, but decides to do anything to defeat Jahy even if its licking it from the ground. However in that moment, she sees a dog licking it. She attempts to stop it, but the potion starts to have effect on it and makes it house-sized. The dog then pins her down and starts licking her, allowing Jahy to freely leave.

The next day, Saurva finishes her "transform into anything" pill. Knowing that Jahy was always surrounded by underlings, she believes its the same in the human world. Saurva intends to turn into Jahy and commit blunder after blunder in front of her underlings, which will lead to them finding Jahy lame and ruin her reputation.

She takes the pill next to the river and sees her reflection it in, realizing it worked. Landlord shows up and reminds "Jahy" that its almost time for rent and wanting to ruin her reputation Saurva states she ain't paying. The Landlord gets annoyed she trying to not pay again, making Saurva realizes that Jahy usually doesn't pay. She continues to explain she doesn't have money, but seeing how scary the Landlord looks, she ends up getting scared and pay the rent, surprising the Landlord how obedient Jahy was.

Walking around, Saurva ends up in front of the Maou pub, and the Boss tells her she is early, but lets her in. Thinking Jahy is regular, Saurva sits on the table and demands juice, planning on skipping the tab, but the Store Owner finds it funny and forces her to change into her work clothes. Saurva ends up serving in the pub and helping out customers. As she takes a break, Store Owner tells her she did a good job and was extra attentive to the customers. Saurva then realized she ended up improving Jahy's reputation and ends up crying seeing how nice the Store Owner is. Before going home, Store Owner gives Saurva some of the remaining food and Saurva starts to think to come visit the place in her normal form. However, then she realizes that Jahy must have worked there, but didn't show up this evening and wonders if this was Jahy's trap. Meanwhile, Jahy was at home realizing she overslept.

Having only 306 yen, no food and a whole week until payday, Jahy wonders what to do. She needs time to look for mana crystals and can only maintain her adult form for a short period, so she is unable to take more shifts at work. Wondering how she can get money without working, she decides to gather information. She goes to the market, but then hears someone selling fried croquettes and ends up buying one, but only after that she realizes she just spend 100 yen. She asks a woman if she knows how to make easy money, but the woman doesn't know any way. Frustrated, Jahy ends up spending another 100 yen on tsukune skewer. She is annoyed she ended up spending again, but finds the food delicious. She goes to ask another person, but seeing he sells meat buns, she ends up spending another 100 yen and buying one. Having only 6 remaining yen, Jahy is disappointed she even came as she needed to make money, not spend it.

At work, Jahy doesn't perform very well as she is quite hungry. Hearing about it the Store Owner scolds her that she must plan on how to use her money. She tells her that if she told her this earlier, she could have paid her in advance, but its only this time. Jahy is surprised that's was an option and starts crying out of gratefulness.

Jahy is working as a mangaka and is reaching the deadline. She yells at her assistant Druj for still no ready with her part. The phone rings and Druj picks it up, but Jahy signals her that she isn't there. As she puts the phone down, she tells Jahy that the person was quite rude and insisted that she puts Jahy on the phone. The Landlord who is her editor, then enters, commenting Jahy has guts pretending to not be home. She tells her she has only 5 more minutes and that month after month she always ends up waiting until the last second. Jahy refuses to finish drawing as creative process is delicate and she can't just pick up the pen and draw. Landlord tells her that she will be dropped and her series won't be featured this month. Hearing that Jahy gets serious and finishes drawing The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, however, she ends up spilling the ink and ruining a page.
