As he follows Roxy's trail, he encounters a Galian girl he once met: Myne, who wields a black axe that eerily resembles Fate's own black sword. Myne agrees to help Fate fight the monsters between him and Galia-but once they get there, he must repay her favor in kind. Manga are graphic novels originating from Japan.
