As the pig is struggling to survive in this new scenario, a beautiful, angel-type girl comes to his rescue. The pig tries to convey his current situation, but it is a surprise when this girl tells him that he doesn’t need to work so hard to talk as she can understand him because she comes from the Yethma clan and has the ability to read minds.
While the pig was relaxed that there was someone now who was looking after him and could understand what he was trying to say, he was also worried that she would know about his lustful relationship. Thus, a new adventure of a pig and a girl that could turn into something romantic begins.
