After Elena left to confront the Dark Order, Ume and her just born baby were able to live in peace for about a week. Elena had prepared enough food and daily necessities for both of them so in that field they needed nothing. For that reason they were able to just stay in the house and avoided any kind of trouble. Or that's how it was supposed to be.
Three days after Elena left a certain group appeared in the city. They were a bunch of worthless people who were selling various kinds of spiritual products and were telling the common population that joining them would give them safety in these troubled times. Obviously those were worthless promises and these bunch were the first ones to run when any kind of trouble was about to hit the city.
But still many people believed in them and followed them somewhat blindly. It was actually a very common human nature that these scums were taking advantage of.
