Mikoto: This is delicious! ε-(´∀｀*)

Person in a black hood🥷: I should think so. I should think so.

　　　　　It is a delicacy from my village, after all.

Mikoto: This is the first time I've ever eaten

　　　something this good.

　　　Aren't you going to eat with me? (・_・？)

Person in a black hood🥷: I am not

　　　　　hungry yet. I'm glad you're

　　　　　feeling better. You're a face I don't

　　　　　see around here, aren't you? Are you a foreigner?

Mikoto: I crossed the sea.

　　　Where I came from is, probably...

　　　that way!

Person in a black hood🥷: !? The sea!? Σ(*´Д｀)

　　　　　No wonder you were collapsed there.

It's a miracle you're still alive.

Mikoto: I train my body, so I'm tough.

See, I'm totally fine!

Person in a black hood🥷: .........You were knocked out...

Mikoto: That monaka was delicious!

You're a good guy, you know (lol)

Mikoto finished eating the monaka.

Mikoto: Where am I?

Person in a black hood🥷: This is Anigaha Island, where the Cat-folk live. The Cat-folk are a very cautious race, so you'd better be careful not to startle them.

Mikoto stares intently at the person in the black hood.

Person in a black hood🥷: What!? What are you looking at?

Mikoto: ...Do you have any more monaka?

Person in a black hood🥷: !? Σ(*´Д｀)

Could it be,

you want seconds!?

.......... (´-﹏-`；)

Mikoto looked at the person in the black hood

intently, and gave a small nod. (_ _)

Person in the black hood🥷: .......... (´-﹏-`；)

Can't be helped. Here!

That's the last one.

The person in the black hood tosses a monaka wafer to Mikoto.

Mikoto: Whoa! A monaka!! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Mikoto catches the monaka and immediately starts eating it.

Person in the black hood🥷: Nyahahaha. (*´∀｀*)

Well, if you're going to eat the monaka

like it's so delicious,

I don't feel bad about it.

Savor it and eat...

Mikoto: That was delicious!! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Person in the black hood🥷: !? Huh!? Σ(*´Д｀)

　　　　　You've already... eaten it...?

　　　　　I was... savoring... it...

Mikoto: Hm!? Did you say something!?

Person in a black hood🥷: ...That's enough!!💢

　　　　　　If it tasted good, then good for you!💢

Mikoto: Hm? Aren't you a bit angry...?

Person in a black hood🥷: I am not angry!💢

Mikoto: Hey, do you know

　　　　what a Phos-spinel is?

Person in a black hood🥷: I don't know!💢

　　　　　The Elder might know, though.

Mikoto: Oh. Could you show me the way?

Person in a black hood🥷: I'm sorry, but I

　　　　am in a hurry.

　　　　Since you've recovered,

　　　　I'll be going now. I must hurry.

Mikoto: I'm Mikoto. Thank you for saving me. Tell me your name before you go.

Person in a black hood🥷: It is Rei.

The elder lives in that village over there.

Well then, farewell.👋

Person in a black hood🥷: Huangaania! Don't go collapsing again!

With that said, the person in the black hood vanished from before Mikoto's eyes.

Mikoto: Huh? They disappeared... Magic?

...

Oh well (lol). Let's try going to the village.

Mikoto headed in the direction the person in the black hood had pointed.

After crossing one mountain, a village came into view.

~Teto Village~

Mikoto: Oh. This looks like a village with lots of people.

I wonder if they have monaka too. ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Mikoto ran up to the front of the village.

Mikoto: There's nobody here at all...

Mikoto entered the village.

Mikoto: Hey! Is anyone there?

Silence...

Only the silence and Mikoto's voice echoed.

Mikoto walked through the village...

Meow!? No!! And,

from inside a pitch-black house with no lights on at all,

the voices of a child and a woman could be heard.

Mikoto approached the house and

banged on the door.

Eek!? came a voice from inside the house.

Mikoto: Is anyone in there?

Please tell me where the elder is.

A voice was heard from inside the house.

The elder is in the large house in the middle of the village.

Mikoto: Thanks!

Mikoto headed toward the large house in the center of the village.

Mikoto: What a big house. This must be the elder's place.

Elder!

I have something I want to ask you,

Is anyone there?

There were no lights on in the elder's house either.

Just as Mikoto was about to knock on the elder's door,

the door creaked open slowly.

Mikoto: Whoa... whoa, whoa.

Mikoto stumbles, unable to knock on the door.

Elder: Get inside quickly.

Mikoto was grabbed by the hand by the elder and dragged into the house.

Mikoto enters the house.

The inside of the house was spacious but dim.

Elder: Who are you?

Mikoto: I'm Mikoto.

About the Fausspinel,

I want to know. Do you know anything about it?

Elder: !? I know nothing of such a thing.

Mikoto: Huh~.

Ray said you might know if you were the elder,

but I guess that was a dead end~.

Elder: You!? Did you meet Ray?

A little girl came out from the back of the house.

Little girl😺: Is Ray back~?

Mikoto: I did. !? Is that...

isn't that monaka!?

Could you give me a little bit of that monaka?

Inside the house, about 100 monaka were piled up in a mountain.

Elder: I cannot give you even one!!

Mikoto: There are so many of them,

　　　　What's the harm in taking just one? (´-﹏-`；)

　　　　Rei gave me two monaka, after all...

Elder: !! !!

Little girl😿: Waaaaah! Waaaaah! (crying)

The little girl suddenly burst into tears.

The elder clenched his fist,

and punched Mikoto! 🧍💥🤛

Mikoto: !? What are you doing!? ヽ(｀Д´#)ﾉ

Elder: You,

　　　What on earth have you

　　　done? ヽ(｀Д´#)ﾉ

Mikoto: What do you mean... what did I do? (・_・？)

Mikoto looks bewildered, holding her cheek.

Elder: The monaka you ate,

was the one that all the villagers

entrusted to Rei with their hopes!!ヽ(｀Д´#)ﾉ

Little girl😾: I held back from eating mine too! (crying)

When Mikoto looked closely at the Elder and the little girl, he saw they were terribly emaciated.

Mikoto: !? There,

are a lot of monaka there...?

As Mikoto said that, from outside

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG💥💥💥💥💥

a deafening sound

began to be heard.

Little girl🙀: Grandpa, they're here!!

Elder: You, go hide...
