The village at night seemed eerily quiet. From a distance, only the house where the human group was staying remained lit; the rest were shrouded in darkness.
Like moonlight shining through a thin mist, a pale light casts an unsettling and strange atmosphere over the place.
Ace's group walked back with tense expressions, afraid they might get lost like when the fat man had led them into the village. But the worst they had imagined didn't happen. They reached the village gate quickly—they hadn't been walking in circles as they had feared.
Alexis released a breath of relief and grinned, "Looks like this mission isn't as difficult as we thought. Maybe since it's only the first night, things aren't too intense yet."
No one else spoke, but they did relax slightly. Only Clow looked at Alexis and smiled kindly, reminding him, "Until we're safely back in our rooms, stay on guard. We don't know what kind of dangers we might encounter."
