Naomi and Erza stepped off the small boat that had ferried them from the port of Magnolia to the pristine shores of Magnolia Beach Resort. 

The salty breeze tousled Erza's  hair, filling her with the happiness that she gets to go on her first mission with her older sister. 

Erza looked around at the sun-kissed sands and the crystalline waves lapping joyfully at the shore, but her excitement was tempered by the urgency of their task.

The director of the resort, a portly man with a well-groomed mustache and an air of fluster, approached them with a clipboard in hand. 

Thank you for coming so quickly!" the director exclaimed, sweat glistening on his forehead despite the sea breeze. "I'm Director Lyle, and we have a serious situation on our hands."

Naomi nodded, her curiosity piqued. "The Giant Crabs?"

Erza decided to add her two cents into the conversation. "How did the Giant Grabs even ended up in the Magnolia beach resort?"

Lyle's eyes darted nervously toward the beach, where beachgoers were being ushered away from the water by another employee. "We initially brought in a couple of giant crabs for entertainment. They were meant to be a foreign attraction, a marvel for our visitors! But something went wrong. They started growing—rapidly—and now they've grown so massive that they've been attacking the guests!"

Attacking? That's quite the predicament," Naomi remarked, her usually serious demeanor sharpening with focus.

I need you two to slay the two giant crabs before they can do any more damage," Lyle pleaded, desperation coloring his words. "I'll pay you 50,000 Jewel for the job!"

Naomi exchanged a glance with Erza, excitement bubbling in her chest at the prospect of a good fight. "We'll do it! Just point us in the right direction."

Lyle nodded, relief flooding his features. "You'll need to head to the eastern part of the beach. There's a large tunnel as rumor has it that's where the Giant Crabs made their lair."

Without wasting another moment, Naomi and Erza sprinted toward the western edge of the beach, the sand warm beneath their feet. They quickly spotted a massive tunnel, its entrance foreboding in the sun's harsh light, like the mouth of a beast ready to swallow them whole.

Erza tilted her head toward the tunnel. "Well, Onee-chan, let's jump down," she suggested, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Naomi hesitated for just a moment before nodding, adrenaline surging through her veins. "Right behind you!"

Together, they leaped into the tunnel, the sandy walls closing around them as they descended. The darkness swallowed them, but the sound of scuttling claws echoed ominously from deeper within. As they landed at the bottom, the tunnel opened up into a wide cavern illuminated by the dim glow of luminescent algae.

And then they saw them—two gigantic crabs, their shells glistening like polished armor, eyes bulging with hunger, and claws that could snap a tree in half. The beasts turned their attention toward the intruders, their pincers clacking menacingly as they advanced.

Erza's heart raced. "They are bigger than I imagined!" she exclaimed.

Naomi drew her sword, the blade gleaming with determination. "Stay focused, Naomi! We'll take them down, together!"
