Based on what the man said, a village from the northwest direction of the quest center has been attacked by an unknown creature since ninety years ago (about three years ago in null dimension), that creature will only appear once a month during the full moon. Whenever there"s a full moon night, the villagers will see a furry creature standing on the top on a windmill house, and the next morning, the crops in their farm will be destroyed or badly damaged, the chickens in the pen will disappear with no obvious reason."What do you think about this?" Sky asked.
"Although sounds like some trivial matters, and no one actually gets hurt, but since we have a lot of free time, I think it"s not wrong to investigate it a bit. Draw four." said Chris, yes, they are playing UNO.
"So, if you guys want to accept that quest, should I be joining you guys? Draw two." said Seito.
"Ah! Sei-chan! You are a meanie!" said Maria while drawing six cards.
"Nope, you, Itsuki, and the girls are staying here with Ben and Jason. Three of us will go. Draw two." said Sky.
"Mhmm... It"s been a while for three of us to go out for a quest. Reverse." said Chris.
"What?! Ah... Yes indeed, we will go to that village tomorrow." said Sky while drawing two cards.
"Ah... I"m excited about it. Skip." said Maria.
"Ah!"
"Hmm... Talk about the girls, I wonder what they are doing in their room all the day. UNO." said Chris.
"Ah... I have a feeling that he is going to win again." said Sky.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the girl"s room. Ai and Yuki are looking at some pictures collection in each other"s phone.
"Ah... He really looks like Itsuki kun." said Ai.
"Oh my! This body is at a rather amazing position." said Yuki. They are actually showing each other their special collection of dead bodies on their phone.
"Hey! Ai chan, I heard that those boys are having some kind of training today, should we do the same? For the battle arena preparation." said Yuki.
"Hmm... Maybe we can do it tomorrow." said Ai. "
Agree, I haven"t finished exploring Ai chan"s collection." said Yuki. And so, they continue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the lounge, after a few rounds of reverse and skip in order to prevent Chris from winning the game, they finally out of those special cards. And now it"s Seito"s turn, after his turn will be Chris"s turn. Seito carefully draws a card from the deck, it"s a draw two cards. He thought for a while whether or not he should use that card, however, there aren"t any better choices, so...
"Draw two..." said Seito after a deep breath.
Then Chris remains static for a while, which makes the other thought they still have a chance, but then he smiled and put down his last card, it"s a draw four.
"Sorry, I win again." said Chris.
"Ah!!!"
"Or maybe you guys want to try playing it with the real rules?" said Chris.
"You do realize that we play with this set of "rules" because we never win you with the real rules, right?" said Sky.
"Haha... So, as usual..." said Chris.
Then the other three stood up and starts doing some stupid dance, Chris flips out his phone and records it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next day. Sky, Chris, and Maria followed the man to his village. It is a peaceful village, or at least it looks peaceful and doesn"t seem like it has been attacked by a monster for years, the crops look fine and the chicken are running on the field quite lively, most importantly...
"Hmm... Now I think of it, if I am not mistaken, the full moon this month will be two days later, right? So, this makes me wonder what chased you yesterday." said Chris while leering at the man.
"Eik? It"s not full moon yesterday?" said the man.
"Or rather, it"s not even night time." said Sky.
"Ah... No! I"m serious about the monster, I"m not lying! You can ask the other villagers!" said the man, rather anxious.
"*sigh*... Bring us to the person in charge here." said Sky.
"You mean our chief? Follow me!" said the man. Then they followed the man to a farmhouse which is slightly bigger than the other.
"Here"s Grandpa White"s house." said the man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chief is an old man with a white beard, thus, he is called as Grandpa White, and this Grandpa White doesn"t seem to be welcoming his visitors.
"We don"t need help from outsiders, especially from some despicable bounty hunter." said the old man.
"It seems like he has some issues with bounty hunters." Sky whispered with the man that lead them there, to avoid any confusion in the future, his name is Bob.
"Yes, our village used to be invaded by a group of bounty hunters, they said they doing that to "protect" the villagers, but ended up they act like bandits and robbers, causing a big mess to the village." said Bob.
"Ah... I see." said Sky.
Then Chris pushed Maria a bit, indicating him to do something.
"h.e.l.lo Sir, we believe there are some misunderstandings here. We are not bounty hunter, we are just some traveler that happened to come across the incident in your village and wanted to help with a sincere heart." said Maria in a really former manner.
"No, even if you are not a bounty hunter, we don"t need any help from outsiders and we are not able to pay you anything if you insisted on getting involve in our matters." said the old man, with a less stern tone.
"We are very sorry to cause such a misunderstanding. Don"t worry Sir, we will not charge you anything, we are here to help." said Maria, still formal tone. Which causes Grandpa White to starts hesitating.
"As expected from a diplomatic official and an influencer." Chris whispered, and Sky nodded in agreement.

Chris: "But look out, those sc.u.ms might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it"s cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
