After coming out from the forest, Alice turned human and walked beside Zeke as they entered Happiness Village.

The place was built similarly to Ilias Village, but in a poorer manner. Houses made of wood, there were a couple of exceptions with foundations of rocks, but the majority was made of wood.

A couple of horses were in the middle of the road eating grass, the people in this place were also working a bit in the crops and beehives, not doing anything heavy, and the atmosphere in this village was a bit sad.

Everything because the villagers were all women, the only male children in this village didn't play together with others, while the female children were sad for something.

The reason for this was because the Harpies nearby were kidnapping all the males, leaving the women and girls alone.

"...I think I have a small idea about what is happening." Zeke muttered. He was being careful to not reveal his identity so he choosen his words carefully.

Alice's eyes moved towards Zeke and asked. "You already found the problem?"

"Yeah. What were Ilias' Commandments again?"

"Pray everyday, don't rebel to her, don't have sex with monsters, don't pray to other gods and don't insult her." Alice gave him a small summary of the 5 commandments.

"Nn, I think my guess is correct then."

Hearing their conversation, a woman turned around and smiled. "Oh, travelers? Sorry to say this, but we don't really have anything to entertain you with. I apologize for the long way you two made.

Due to a shortage of manpower, we have a shortage of our speciality Happiness Honey, too."

As soon as she finished to speak, the only boy in the village yelled in fear. "Waaaa!"

Zeke, Alice and the villager turned around, and saw a red haired harpy with purple-tinted bangs flying towards the boy. "Uwaa! Help me!"

She reached the boy quickly and grasped his shoulders with her talons. But before she could take flight, Angel Halo flew in front of her eyes.

She stopped over the boy's shoulders and turned her head around, before her eyes fell on Zeke with an arm extended at her. "Hey! Let the kid go!"

A notification appeared at his side.

"Huh? I haven't seen you in this village before… Are you a traveler?" She sized Zeke up, and then she flew in air, letting go of the boy. The Harpy smiled and licked her lips. "Alright… I'll let the boy go. Instead, I'll kidnap you!"

As she dived towards Zeke, he suddenly pulled out Pumpkin. Upon seeing the gun, the Harpy got horrified and waved her wings as fast as she could, trying to stop her charge. "Fuck!"

She stopped and immediately flew in the sky, looking down on Zeke with a careful expression.

Suddenly, Zeke shouted. "Hey! I'm more of a pacifist, but I am capable of pulling the trigger. So you better get away and go back to your nest before I turn you into swiss cheese, and trust me when I say that this can shoot at least 500 rounds at minute."

The Harpy remained in the sky for a dozen of seconds, before she turned around and flew away. "I'm not dealing with this."

Seeing the Harpy flying away, Zeke sighed and put Pumpkin back to his back, then he went to pick up Angel Halo from the ground.

Meanwhile, the women in the village approached the spot where the confrontation happened.

"What happened?!"

"The traveler drove the Harpy away? Amazing!"

"All hail the savior!"

""Bahoo Dores-""

Zeke immediately frowned and yelled. "No! None of that! ...Shame on you!"

Alice raised an eyebrow. "Huh, deja vu."

The group that gathered around Zeke moved away and made the way for a really old woman. "Driving off the Harpy… You must be really skilled!"

Zeke just waved her compliment off. "It is just inducing fear, nothing much. Anyway, who are you?"

The old woman with a stern expression introduced herself. "I'm the village chief's wife… Since he has been kidnapped, I'm the acting village chief."

Alice had a disappointed face as she approached Zeke and the village chief. "Barricading yourself in a house even as a child is being abducted? Can you really call yourself a chief like that? Actually, not a single person in this village tried to help."

Zeke remained silent and gazed at Alice for a moment, before he looked at everyone else. The women and the girls looked down in awkwardness.

"..." And so, no answer came back at Alice's words.

Zeke sighed and opened his system, surprising a couple of people, however he didn't say anything. He just went to Quest and read the two quests that interested him now.

[Survive(easy): Self-Explanatory. Reward: 3 Bonus Points.]

[Happy Honey: Investigate what is happening to Happiness Village and solve the problem. Reward: 10 Bonus Points.]

He turned in the first one, which was about the Harpy, and then he focused on the second. He glanced at the acting village chief and asked. "Let me get this straight, the nearby Harpy Village kidnapped every man in Happiness Village, right?"

The acting village elder was surprised at the question and nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what is happening."

Zeke sighed and opened his Profile, before placing the 3 Bonus Points on Constitution. He closed his Profile and opened his Inventory, taking out a t-shirt and jeans.

"Alright, I'm going to change now, I'll turn back soon."

He went behind a house and quickly removed his sticky clothes before dressing up like he was dressed when he came at Ilias Continent for the first time.

Then he turned back to the group with the armor set he was wearing. He randomly threw them at someone and said. "You, I want them clean from honey by the time I arrive here. I will go to have a little chat with the Harpies, expect visits because if everything is as I think, the Harpy Queen will personally visit you."

The entire village was surprised at his declaration, and the acting village elder lost her stern face. "W-What do you mean with the Harpy Queen coming here?!"

"If it is like I think, your men, children, fathers, and friends are still alive. When I will be back we will talk about this in detail with the Harpy Queen herself."

"So you're going?" Alice asked with a raised eyebrow.

Zeke nodded and turned to the acting village elder. "Where is the Harpy Village?"

"At east… Be careful, boy."

Zeke just started to walk at east and just raised one hand to salute everyone. With another exasperated sigh, he faced east. "If it wasn't for the situation, I would have forgotten about those 10 Bonus Points."

Since he already played the game once, he knew what was going to happen, but if it wasn't for that then he would have just refused to help.
