Once Upon a time, in a faraway land. There was a tiny kingdom. Peaceful, prosperous & rice in traditions.


Here in a small workshop, within the small town of Arlesdale, there lived a tailor man named Jakob Schneider and his daughter Millie. Jakob’s family was best known for making the best clothes for generations. And although he knew Millie would follow in his footsteps, Jakob knew she needed a mother’s care. Especially after Millie’s Mother, Marion, had passed away not too long ago.


And so he married again. Choosing for his second wife was a woman named Crystal, who was dressed in a purple gown and brown hair like Millie, but had some grey parts that showed her age, green eyes, curtain like hair bangs and her long hair was wrapped behind her back. She also had two daughters that are the same age as Millie. Their names are MacKenzie, who had green eyes, long, wavy blonde hair & Heather, who had a bowl cut hairstyle in a dull shade of brown, lime green eyes and was a bit fat.


It was upon the untimely passing of the tailor man however, that Crystal’s true nature was revealed. Cold, cruel and bitterly jealous of Millie’s charm and beauty. She was grimly determined to further the interest of her own two selfish daughters.


Thus as time went by, The Schneider Family’s workshop fell into disrepair, for the family’s fortune and business was squandered on the vain of Crystal and her daughters, while Millie was abused & humiliated. To make things worse, she was still as short as a little girl even when she turned 18 years old.


But she was never alone. She had the comfort of Knox, her pet Corgi, and Hannah Dooiney, her childhood friend from the country, who had long, red velvet hair, turquoise eyes, black ballet shoes and a purple dress, short cream colored sleeves and an apron in the same shade of cream as her short sleeves.


And every dawn, she found new hope, that someday, her dreams of having happiness would come true. Although Millie didn’t know that her dreams would come true in a way that’s unusual… And Big!


Ten years later, on a beautiful morning, a wave of fear had swept over the town that was usually peaceful and secure. A Giantess had appeared! And already she had crushed some of the homes within another town and eaten the crops, which the farmers worked hard to grow.


Everyone was worried if they’re next for the Giantess’ oncoming attack on their hometown. They all gathered by the town's tallest tower as a wanted poster for the Giantess was about to be put up by King Alaric’s Knights.


They all wanted to see what she looked like, and when they did so, their reactions were… Mixed. Most were scared while others couldn't help but admire the Giantess’ appearance. Her dress, a village outfit, consisted of a dark brown bodice with long, Light Blue sleeves, a long skirt in a lighter shade of brown with a white apron. Her hair, having a greyish shade of black, was long enough to flow through the wind, while having a Japanese-style odango on top of her head, which is not something no one around here has ever seen. She also had a pair of blue earrings hanging from her ears. But what caught everyone’s attention the most was above her waist. Her breasts, which looked three cup sizes too big and it looked like they could’ve bounced out of her dress.


The poster also had a small sign below that one of the knights put up saying, ‘Citizens beware! Giantess at Large! Reward, Dead or Alive!’.


“That’s what the Giantess looks like?”

“She looks like what any village woman looks like.”

“I gotta admit, she is beautiful. In fact, she’s even more beautiful than Princess Catherine."

“And check out those boobs of hers. Maybe I might go on a date with the Giantess as a way to convince her not to terrorize us.”

“Shhh… Children live here, remember.”

“Who’d you think would be brave enough for that reward?”

“By capturing the Giantess? I honestly don't know. I just hope someone is indeed brave to capture this towering woman or else all is lost.”


These are just one of the conversations amongst the citizens. But what they said is true. King Alaric, who ruled the Kingdom with his wife Lina and their daughter Catherine, the Princess of the land, had offered a reward to whoever could catch the Giantess. But no one is brave enough to face such a towering beauty.


Meanwhile, Millie was having a Jam sandwich with her pet Corgi Knox, after she saw a sales woman selling Jam. Her stepmother and stepsisters had been away since yesterday, and weren’t supposed to be back until Sunday, which Millie was glad she got some time for herself. Suddenly, a swarm of flies flew in from an open window, and they were flying all around Millie’s face.


“Shoo you annoying schädlinges! Go bother someone else!” Millie said angrily. But the flies didn’t care. They just buzz around her, and then onto her jam sandwich, causing Millie to lose her temper.


“Ooooo, du hast darum gebeten! Prepare to meet the Tailor Girl of Terror!” She said as she took out a rag, twisted it up and wacked it on the flies that were on her sandwich, sending jam all over both her face and Knox’s.


“Uh, maybe The Tailor Girl of Terror wasn’t the best idea I had in mind.” Said Millie sadly, realizing that all swatting those flies did was ruin her Jam Sandwich. But then she noticed something. There, on her sandwich, were no less than seven flies. All laying dead on what was left of her sandwich!


“Auf keinen Fall..." Millie exclaimed. "Did.. Did I just kill Seven? Seven Flies with one blow!?” Her mood soon turned into joy.


“WOW! I never thought I’d do that!” Millie said, jumping with joy. “And you know what that means Knox? It means I can do just about as much as anyone can!


She felt so darn proud, she just had to get up off her feet and find someone to break the news to. She looked at the closed window shutters and picked up the voices of three individuals. One of them she recognized was Hannh who was visiting her to see if she’s okay.


“Have you ever killed a Giantess?” A blonde haired woman in a Baby Blue Dress said to Hannah.


“Err… No, not me!” Hannah replied. “I just came here to see my friend Millie. Besides, it’s suicide going after a Giant.”


Suddenly, Millie flung open the shutters and shouted out the news.


"I killed seven with one blow!" Millie shouted. Of course, she didn't realize that Hannah and the two town folks were talking about giants rather than how many flies one could swat in one swoop. The three automatically assumed Millie was listening in on their conversation and was basically shouting she killed seven giants with one blow. The three stood firm in their places like they had seen a ghost.

“SEVEN!?” the two town folks finally shouted. Millie smiled and nodded her head rapidly, obviously proud of her achievement of swatting seven flies with one blow.


But again, the three misinterpreted Usagi thinking she said she killed seven giants with one blow. They just had to get the word out of the incredible strength Millie possessed. Millie, meanwhile, stood confused and wondered why they were running away.

“Huh? Where are you going?” Millie shouted.

Meanwhile, Hannah and the two town folks ran around town and spread the word.

"The tailor! She killed seven giants with one blow!" The Male Town Folk shouted.

"Tailor! Seven! One blow!" The female one shouted.

"What they said!" Hannah said.



Pretty soon, the news spread like wildfire!


“How many!? Six?”

“Seven!”

“With one blow!?”

“Holy Christmas!”


Very quickly, the whole town was now talking about this event, obviously in disbelief. One of King Alaric’s Royal Guards was so stunned that he just had to tell the King immediately.



"The tailor killed seven giants with one blow!? I gotta report this to the King!" The Guard shouted.


King Alaric sat in his throne room, with his loving wife and daughter, worried on what else the Giantess could do. Suddenly, the guard came crashing into the throne room, with all his armor falling off, leaving only what appear to be his… PJ’s or something?


“What the devil is wrong with you!? Have you forgotten how to enter my castle!?” Alaric said.

“My apologies your highness. There seems to be word spreading about a cute, yet brave tailor girl, by the name of Millie who’s claiming to have killed seven giants with one blow.” The Guard said. Alaric raised his eyebrows.

“Millie? As in, Millie Schneider? Daughter of the late Jakob Schneider? Is this true?” Alaric said.

“Yes, sir! Is it!” The Guard said.

“Well then send her over here! She might be just what we need to do something with that Giantess!” Alaric ordered.


Several minutes later, the throne room was now almost jam-packed with peasants as they watched the guards lead Millie up the few steps that separated the room from The Royal Family and their throne. Among the people in the room were Millie’s pet Corgi Knox, and her friend Hannah. Hannah looked with amazement, not believing that she and her friends were standing in the same room as the royal family. Millie however, clutch her hands together as she look at King Alaric, with his wife and daughter sitting next to him.


"Miss Millie Schneider. Is it true on what one of my guards said? That you really kill seven with one blow?" Alaric asked, forgetting to add the word giants to his question.

"Well, um... uh... yes. Yes, your highness. I mean, sir! I mean, boss! I mean, poobah!” Millie said.


Hannah couldn’t help but slap her face with her hand while Knox, standing next to Millie, rolled his eyes.


“Hey, easy there Millie!” Catherine said. “I know this is your first time being here, but just relax. You already gave my father the answer.”


"Yes, so, uh... how did you do it?" Alaric asked.


Millie quickly remembered the events that took place inside her family business, when she went against the flies.


"I was all alone. I heard them coming. I looked up, and I was surrounded!" Millie said.


"Yes, go on!" Alaric said. Millie started to get animated with her storytelling as she pointed in every direction she could think of.


"They were here! There! Everywhere! A whole swarm of them! They came from the right! From the left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right!!!" Millie shouted.


"And!?" Alaric said, looking stunned and leaning forward in his throne.


“They were closing in! The fight was on! I swung forward! And then I swung again! Again! And again! And again!!! They were right on top of me!!!" Millie said, falling to the ground thanks to swinging herself so wildly to describe the ‘fight.’


"And then!?" Alaric said.


"And then... I let them have it!!!" Millie shouted, swinging her oversized scissors in a circular motion. The whole room suddenly lit up with cheers while Alaric breathed a sigh of relief from his throne. While Catherine and her mother were applauding as well, Alaric got up from his throne and waved his hands in the air, signaling everyone to quiet down.


"Millie Schneider. Cute Little Tailor of Arlesdale... as King of this town, I hereby appoint you as the royal killer of the giantess!" Millie said. The rest of the room gasped, especially Knox and Hannah.


"Wha, wha WHAT!? GIANTESS!? As in, the Giantess that has been terrorizing our land since morning!?" Millie gasped. “But, but your majesty, I... I... I..." Millie was stumbling to find the words. Alaric, though, didn't seem to listen.


"And if you are successful, I shall reward you with one million in pure gold!" Alaric shouted.



"Well... you see, sir... I really couldn't..." Millie said.



"Two million in pure gold?" Alaric asked.



"Look, there’s actually a big misunderstanding. I’m not equipped to…" Millie said.


"Three million? Four? Five? Six?" Alaric said. Before he could go any higher, Catherine suddenly tapped her father on the shoulder.


“Excuse me, Father. I think I have an idea for Millie. In terms of… her current issue with her stepmother and stepsisters?” Catherine said.


“Okay…” Alaric said as the two turned around so Millie wouldn’t see their lips while Catherine whispered something into his ear.


Alaric finally turned around and had a smile on his face.


“And, to be my Royal Knight.” Alaric said. “So that you won’t have to worry about your terrible stepmother and stepsisters again. And I know your parents would want you to find a better life after how even Catherine told me about the way your stepmother abused you.” Another loud gasp rang out in the air while Millie stood in shock. But then she thought about what she went through after her father died. She was indeed abused by Crystal and her two selfish sisters, and she always hoped to find happiness again. But does this mean possibly slaying a Giantess? She hadn't even done any of this giantess-slaying business yet. But she then made a decision.


"I'll cut this giantess down to my size!" Millie said, showing her scissors once more to the thundering applause of everyone inside the throne room.


That applause continued even a short while later as Millie, along with Knox and Hannah, walked towards the open gate that separated the Castle from the town of Arlesdale. Armed with a pair of scissors tied to her hip, the three friends all waved at the people all the way until they passed the gate.


“Wow… listen to all those people cheering for you, Millie!” Hannah shouted.


“Yeah…” Millie said, trying to have confidence. But when the doors slammed shut behind the three… suddenly Millie’s heart sank and she went running back towards the door, banging on it.


“Hey!!! Let me back in! I’m not the one you need to fight a giantess!!!” Millie screamed through the muffled screams from the people inside.


“Come on Millie, let’s get going.” Hannah said. “You signed up for this job, so complete it we must. Of course, I did told the King me and Knox would lend a helping hand.”


“I guess you’re right.” Millie said as she walked towards where the open fields are. “Welp, let’s get going. And I’ll see you all soon. I hope…”
