Miam

Personal Info

To hone her skills, Miam has spent years traveling the Abyss alone, gaining strength and field experience far beyond others her age.
She is naturally kind and optimistic, gentle and considerate, always courteous, and conducts herself with humility and caution.
Almost everyone who has interacted with Miam holds her in high regard, believing she already displays all the qualities of an exceptional explorer.
Given time, she is certain to become a name recognized far and wide.
In addition, Miam maintains close ties with the members of "Carefree Sanctuary." Though she has never formally joined them, she is generally regarded as a disciple of Master Lu Xuan.
Many have seen Lu Xuan instructing her in training, or witnessed her operating alongside the Carefree Sanctuary members.
As a result, during Abyss expeditions, few are foolish enough to dare pick a fight with her.

Chronicles

We're able to live peacefully as we do now thanks to her—and to her parents.
Most people in this settlement are explorers who can no longer fight. Back then, it was her parents who saved us and allowed us to settle here.
When her parents were still alive, she often followed them in helping us. After they passed away, she vanished for a time...
By the time we saw her again, she had already grown into an explorer capable of standing on her own.
We've all watched her grow up. None of us want her wasting her time protecting people like us, but she refuses to leave. She says she must inherit her parents' will and safeguard this settlement.
— An Outpost Resident

Miam is always courteous and polite to everyone—even when she's with us. It felt a bit strange at first.
But after spending some time with her, we got used to it. That's simply who she is; her attitude never changes regardless of how close or distant the relationship is.
We're all busy with our own work most days, but whenever someone needs help—or whenever we have time—we still gather together.
To me, she's our sister—our family.
— Lingyao from Carefree Sanctuary

She is indeed my disciple. Ever since she began studying under me, that bond has long been established.
Whether there was a formal ceremony, adoption, or anything of the sort does not matter.
— Lu Xuan

Record

After spending some time in the exploration team, Miam gradually changed from the beloved "little sister" to a trusted "companion".
Her teammates were not only impressed by her strength, but even more astonished by the composure and decisiveness she displayed in combat.
"That's not a quality someone her age should naturally possess."
Even some veterans who prided themselves on their experience couldn't help but feel genuine admiration for her.
Yet outside of battle, Miam reverts to a bright, carefree girl entirely fitting for her age.
She remains sensible and disciplined, but her curiosity toward new things and her innocent dreams for the future are no different from any ordinary girl.
Miam rarely refuses the care and kindness offered by her companions, yet she always finds her own way to repay them afterward, however small the gesture may be.
Training is the only exception. Rather than rely on so-called "shortcut methods," Miam firmly believes that true progress comes only from steady, earnest practice.

Anecdote

"Captain, the men can't hold out much longer!"
"Hold the line, no matter what! We cannot let these monsters breach the Settlement!"
"But..."
"No buts! If these monsters destroy our home, what happens to our families? Are we all supposed to become scavengers?!"
"I understand, Captain. If anything happens to me... please take care of my family."
"You fool! I told you to hold the line, not die on it! We just need to last a little longer—the reinforcements should arrive any moment now..."
"Reinforcements?"
Before the defender could finish, dust flared on the horizon—numerous figures were charging toward the Settlement, straight through the monsters' ranks.
"It's Miss Miam!"
From atop a ridge, someone with sharp eyes spotted Miam among the reinforcement squad.
"Wait—there's Carter from Captain Hank's family!"
"And Elena from the Sanchez family is here too!"
As the reinforcements drew closer, the defenders recognized more and more familiar faces. Morale surged, and they rallied forward, striking the monsters to support the incoming squad.

"Miss Miam, we owe this victory to you. Without you, we couldn't have driven the monsters back."
"You praise me too highly, Uncle Hank. If you hadn't led everyone in holding the line, our arrival wouldn't have changed anything."
"Hahaha, still as modest as ever, Miss Miam."
"Come to think of it, most of the people you brought today are our Settlement's younger generation... does that mean their training is finally bearing fruit?"
"Yes. Their training cycle happened to conclude over the past few days, so I brought them back to support the settlement—as their final test."
"And looking at today's results, everyone performed wonderfully. They still have much to learn before reaching the level you veterans had in your prime, Uncle Hank, but I believe they've done exceptionally well."
"T-That's wonderful news! This means we can handle the Settlement's defenses on our own now—and you can finally take a bit of weight off your shoulders, Miss Miam."
"You flatter me, Uncle Hank. I only wish to protect this Settlement."
"Years ago, your parents took in us injured and retired explorers, forming this Settlement and allowing us to live self-sufficiently."
"And now, you've generously taught our children martial skills, giving them the power to defend themselves... This is a debt we can never repay."
"I, Hank, swear to you—so long as I live, I will protect this Settlement, protect you, and protect our home!"
