At sunrise, Agnes and Edea went to get the boys for breakfast. But when they opened the door to wake them up, they were gone. Their beds were made neatly, and there was no trace of them.

"Where could they be?" Edea wondered aloud.

"Yes. Where are they?" Agnes thought. "Although Edea, Tiz and Ringabel did seem very strange at dinner time last night, did they not?"

"Yeah! They did!" Edea exclaimed. "Ringabel didn't comment on me eating too fast and how it would ruin my beauty…" Edea did seem kinda sad about thinking about this, but Agnes pretended that she didn't see anything peculiar.

"Let's see if the proprietress knows anything." Agnes suggested, and they went to the Drunken Pig. As they ate their breakfast, the proprietress told them what they knew.

"I made them boys their breakfast, they told me to make a lot of extra, they ate as fast as they could, packed some up, said it was for their lunch and dinner. Then, they took giant packs filled with supplies and weapons and put their food in it. Then they bolted out the door."

"Strange. Thank you, Miss proprietress." Agnes said.

"Trnk thur!" Edea managed to say with a mouthful of food.

"Manners, Edea!" Agnes cried out. Edea swallowed her food, and properly said thank you. They decided to look for them if they didn't come back by 6 o'clock. When they didn't, the girls went out to where they thought they would find the boys. In the forest.

Before they walked through the plains and the forests, looking for the boys, they took weapons and supplies. But, they hadn't had to use them yet, because they hadn't been attacked by any monsters.

"Where are all the goblins and what not?" Edea asked. "I want to fight something. Even something weak."

"I don't know, Edea." Agnes replied. "Oh! A group of goblins!"

"Yes! Something to fight!" But before either could move, all three goblins that were there were shot by a barrage of arrows. Then they saw Tiz in the Ranger costume collect all the pg and leave as fast as he could.

"What was he doing?" Agnes asked.

"I don't know, but let's go back to the Grandship. They'll have to come back at sometime."

"Good idea!" And with that, the girls went back to the Grandship to wait for the boys.
