Synopsis

Penelope's father gifts her a customized crossbow with memory-wiping mana bullets, encouraging her participation in the hunting competition, though she questions its purpose. She also has a tense conversation with her father and step-brothers about Eclis' defense of her against insulting knights, leading to her revealing that she used a blank check on magic sword for him. Penelope reflects on the need for an aggressive strategy, realizing she can't be a doormat anymore in this game-like world, and decides not to fall for Eclis' looks but uses him to defend herself.
