NAKU JOSEI'S
YUME VILLAGE

Konekuta Street, in the foothills of Kiri no kumo mountain.

Yuki, who was leaning against the windshield, looked at the trees they passed along the road.

"Are you sure you're gonna do all this?" ask Jack.

"of course. I don't want to live in the shadow of that creature. You're involved, too, Jack! This is what happens when you force me to follow you here!" yuki said with a sullen face.

Jack took his breath. "Huufft .. just so you know, I have absolutely no regrets about following you this far."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, after all .. This isn't so bad for me. You know, when I was in your aunt's house, I thought that I'd die by then. He threw me off the second floor. Fortunately it wasn't my head that landed first on the floor. Ha.ha ... I'm really lucky."

Yuki pinched Jack's thigh, and made him aghast in pain. "Basic stupid! How can you laugh in a situation like this!" snapped it.

"Hey hey .. can you without pinching me! I'm just kidding."

"Your glimmer is outrageous and out of place! You clown! Huum," Yuki turned her face away from Jack.

The scene, which had only shown trees along the road, had now changed after their car climbed to higher ground. Not far from there, lies a small hill in sight.

"Wow ... The view here is pretty good too" said Jack.

"It was Niji hill, and just below that foothill, was Yume village," Yoshino-san explained to Jack in English.

"Number ... ? Yume village ... ?"

Suddenly, Yuki started to remember what Takamura-sama said while they were at the temple.

"... The old man was named 'Yusuke', and he still lived in Yume village. He went crazy after getting word that his wife and two children were dead. Then he began to be alone and lived in a hut on a hill ...."

"Yoshino-san! You just said that under the foothills is Yume's village, right?" ask Yuki.

"Yes, why?" the answer is to ask back.

"That means .. the man named 'Yusuke' that Takamura-sama spoke of was there, isn't that right, Yoshino-san!" yuki.

"Tu-wait first! Whatchu mean? Don't tell me you want to go see that crazy guy, Yuki-chan!" sela Nori-san, look back.

"Nori-san, you might not understand, but I'm very but- "

"Yuki-chan!" Nori-san. "We don't have time to go there! It's afternoon! It'll be more dangerous when night comes!" emphatically.

"I really need an explanation from him! A-I ... These dreams ...," Yuki remembers her dream when she was at the lake with Rin, and also about the dream with a mysterious woman who hugged her, when he was a kid.

"What explanation do you need from someone who's gone mad, Yuki-chan?" nori-san asked, shaking her head.

"My dreams!" answer Yuki.

"Dreams?"

"Yes! My dreams related to Hanako-san and her two children! I've seen all three of them in my dreams, and I'm pretty sure it's them. That's why .. that's why I ...," Yuki who started to tear up, stopped her words.

The atmosphere at that moment had suddenly become awkward. Nori-san looked towards Yoshino-san and raised her forehead. He gives the eye movement code, whether they should follow Yuki's request or not. Yoshino-san nods her head, indicating that she agrees with Yuki's request.

Nori-san turned her head towards Yuki. "Well, we'll take you to the place where the man lives. But ... we can't linger there, because we don't have much time. It is possible that the devil did not know where the Book was. However, he keeps shadowing us and follows us wherever we go. He was always in the dark; watching from a distance. That's when she gets strong, while we're weakened, are you yelling, Yuki-chan!" nori-san.

"I understand" he answered, looking down.

They finally decided to go to Yume village, driving Yuki to meet the man named Yusuke. Yoshino-san also explained everything to Jack using English.

In just a few minutes, they arrived at the village of Yume.

After parking the car, they all walked along the path to the residential area.

"Is this really his village? So quiet. Don't you feel that there is something strange in this village? It's too suspicious" Jack said.

Soon, a little boy ran past the four of them, and from behind him, an old woman ran after him.

"Eto! fast in!" the woman snaps at her son.

After she caught her son, she carried him and ran into the house, and he locked all the windows and doors.

"What's he doing? It's weird, it's weird" Jack said.

"Just ignore it, and keep walking" Nori-san said.

They approached the farmer and asked him about the residence of a man named Yusuke.

"Yusuke? You're strangers, aren't you? Why do you want to meet that crazy guy?" ask the farmer.

"We know all the stories about him, we also know that he's crazy, but .. You don't seem to need to know why we wanted to see him. If you know where she lives, just tell us right away, and don't ask too many questions!" nori-san said with a snapping tone.

"Hoe! What the fuck is that way of talking?" the farmer looked upset.

"Hey, Nori-san! What's wrong with you? That's not the way ...," Yoshino-san said, "Ah .. Please forgive her, her style of speech is like that, sir."

The farmer started walking. "Huh, I was going to show you the way, but because of that attitude, I got lazy!" abugn.

"Wait a minute, please show us the way. We really need your help right now. There is no one else here who can help us but you, sir," pinta Yuki.

"I'm sorry .. I can't help," said the farmer, walking away.

Yuki chased after him and stopped his steps. "Please .. show me the way, sir. Please ...," pinta Yuki again while lowering her head.

"Cih ... why did he force it once !" the farmer grumbled in his heart.

Nori-san walked up to the two of them. He took out 1000 yen from his wallet, then thrust it into the farmer.

"This ...take it, and take us to the madman's house!" abugn.

For a moment ... the farmer stared at the 1000 Yen money. "Are you bribing me?" tanyakanya.

"No. I'm just asking you to show us the way. That's all," Nori-san replied.

"Then ... What is this money for? You're putting me down, yeah!" The farmer began to look angry.

"Nobody is humbling you here. I'm giving you this money as the energy you used to get us there, don't you understand what I mean, huh?" nori-san.

After listening to Nori-san's words, the farmer was silent for a moment, then he quickly took the 1000 Yen money that was thrust at him. "I'll show you the way, but that's because of this girl's request, yeah. So, don't get me wrong!" he said, turning the bow and walking towards the hill.

"Huh .. I expected," Nori-san muttered.

"Hoe! What else are you waiting for? Quickly follow me!" shouted the farmer.

They also went up the hill through paths and stairs that rise to the top.

After a few minutes they climbed, they finally reached the top of the hill. Not far from where they were standing, there was a hut standing among the spruce trees.

"That's the place. Yusuke lives there. Then ... I go first, yes," said the farmer.

Yuki lowered her head. "Thank you for the help, sir."

His steps stopped, and the farmer looked at the four of them. "you should be careful here.It has been a while, a lot of children have disappeared from the village. That's why villagers are so scared, and don't let their children play outside" the farmer said.

"really?" ask Yuki.

The farmer looked at Nori-san. "Tadi .. you said that you already know all the stories about Yusuke. That means you know the story about the devil, right?"

"Yes, of course," Nori-san replied briefly.

"I don't know why you guys want to see Yusuke, and I don't really want to know about that either. But, you better not get too deeply involved with the problem. Be careful" said the farmer, who began to climb down the stairs step by step.

"Unfortunately we've been involved too deeply" Nori-san muttered inwardly.

"We understand, Sir. Thanks for the advice," Yuki lowered her head again.

"A friendly child ...," the farmer murmured inwardly, looking at Yuki.

"Well then, I go back to the village first, yes. Goodbye" he said, who then walked away.

After the farmer died, they finally walked to the hut.

Arriving there, Yuki immediately approached the entrance, then knocked on it.

GECK..GECK..TOK ...
