"No, Grandpa White, these people are really strong, they should be able to stop that monster." said Bob.

"Stop talking about that thing! Bring our visitors to Fattie Mama"s resort if they want to stay for a night." said Grandpa White.

"Ah... Okay..." said Bob.

Then, they step out of the farmhouse with a slight disappointment. Then, Bob leads them to the said resort. The owner of the resort is a super friendly, chubby woman, thus called as Fattie Mama. They decided to stay there for a night to see if they can find any clue the next day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, secret base.

"Both of the training halls are occupied, what should we do?" said Yuki.

The two training rooms are currently used by Seito and Itsuki, Seito is practicing with Jason, while Itsuki continues his training with Suzaku.

"Hmm..." Ai thought for a while, then she opened a portal.

"Let"s do it in my secret mini dimension." said Ai, Yuki nodded in agreement. They entered the portal.

The dimension behind the portal is a rather plain natural s.p.a.ce with a huge gra.s.sy field and a clean river.

"Wow, this is really nice. So how should we do our training?" said Yuki.

"Hmm... Maybe let"s have some friendly fight?" Ai suggested.

"Agree."

Yuki activated her battle form while Ai is preparing for her Environment Control magic...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, that night, Fattie Mama"s resort. The three of them are playing some card games again, suddenly, they heard some commotion from outside.

"Hmm... It seems like something happened." said Sky.

"Let"s check it out." said Maria.

Outside the resort, a big group of people is looking for a child, they look very worried and it seems like the child they are looking for is the chief"s granddaughter.

"What happened?" Sky asked.

"Grandpa White"s granddaughter was missing since this morning, we can"t find her anywhere." said Bob.

"Missing? When was the last time she been seen before gone missing?" Chris asked.

"They said she was playing with the other children near the forest." said Bob.

"Forest?" Sky asked.

"Yes, that forest is really beautiful and safe on the day but can be quite dangerous at night." said Bob.

"I see, let"s go the chief, we might be able to help." said Chris.

Then they walk towards Grandpa White. After stating their intentions, Grandpa agrees to accept their help in this matter, as he is really worried about his granddaughter.

"Please give me some details of your granddaughter, her name, and characteristic. And if possible, please get me some of her personal items, like pillow that she used every day." said Chris.

"Her name is Kiffy. Four years old, short bob hair, round face with wimple." said the old man.

Then they took a small blanket from the girl"s room and handed it to Chris. Chris touched the blanket and closed his eyes.

"Sense link... Is there an old well in this village?" Chris ask.

"Yes, there is one, near the forest." said Bob.

"The well is dried up... Right?" Chris asked.

"Yes. There is no rain these few days and the well dries up easily. Anything wrong with the well?" Bob asked.

"Yes. She is in a well two kilometers away from the southwest direction." said Chris.

"What? Oh no! That"s the direction of that well I mentioned! It"s really dangerous for her to be there, we need to save her fast." said Bob. Then the villagers headed to the well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They found the little girl in the well near the forest, in an unconscious state, shivering in cold, her torso is covered by bruise and injuries, especially her hands, it looks like she was trying to get out of the well. Chris healed her with healing magic before they sending her home.

In the crowd that is watching Chris healing the girl, there are children who are hiding behind their parents after they saw the little girl been rescued, some of them even start crying. Chris noticed them and figured they might know something about this incident.

Chris walks near to one of them with a gentle yet evil look.

"h.e.l.lo, are you one of the kids that played with her this morning before she went missing?" he asked.

"Or did you happen to know who is the one that put her in the well?" he asked again, in an even more polite tone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some interrog... inquiries, they found out that the girl was in fact getting bullied by a group of older children that is led by the son of a teacher in the village. They lured the girl to climb into the well bucket before lowering the bucket deep into the well and go home on their own, they lied to their parents saying that the girl had gone home on her own, they actually decide to leave her in the well for the whole night. According to the group of children, this "prank" is suggested by that teacher"s son, who is the oldest in the group. Then they said that he doesn"t like that girl *because he thinks she is stupid.

*totally reasonable if you are a snort kid.

**I have a feeling that I watched this scene from some movie but can"t remember what movie it was.

Hearing the truth of the incident, the chief decides to calls for that teacher to get some explanations from them. As they were not there when the crowd was searching for the girl, which makes them even more suspicious.
