While I was resting at the inn with Lily and the others, Arleigh and the others arrived.

Dah!　What!　That haggard monster!

I don't like to talk. Mr. Arleigh.

I know what it's like to be annoyed.

It seems that Arleigh and his friends also met the Barbayaga.

By the looks of it, you must have met the Barbayaga too.

So you've met Mr. Tact?

Yeah. Yeah?　Did you guys get attacked by the Barbayaga?

'What?　I didn't take it. Did you just slash and slash and slash and slap me in the water alter ego?

Hmm. That's strange.

"What do you three know about the Barbayaga? I don't know anything about it.

'I've seen it in games, but I don't know the details.

I have no idea.

'I know! I'm pretty sure she was a wicked witch who kidnapped and ate children in Russia.

Typical bad witch. Is that why you led her into the woods? But that first water tornado you showed me... if you can do that, you're pretty strong... no, that water tornado isn't an attack, it's like you're telling us you're there...

"Lily, the first barbayaga spell. I didn't foresee any danger, did I?

Huh?　Yeah. I didn't come up with anything. Takt.

So the attack was not meant to be an attack on us. But I can't reconcile Chiffon's story with the barbayaga I just heard.

I'm going to log out and do a little research on Barbayaga, you three can make some points.

Are you sure?

'Yeah. We can't concentrate on the battle even if we continue to fight, you know. It won't take that long to find out about the Barbayaga, so let's split up. But first, don't give us any information about the monsters we fought.

Arley says as I speak.

'I'm sure the Woolly Super Devil is going to be a lot of victims.

Most people don't remember their swimming skills, do they?

We can only fight the Water Reaper Devil.

I'd love to see the three of you try your best to earn points.

So I log out first and look up Barbayaga. It seems that Siphon is right, she is written as a bad witch in Slavic folklore, but not necessarily a bad witch.

While exploring the various stories, I found one folk tale.

The Hawk Finist's Feather.

The reason I'm focusing on this one is because the first story had a story that started with an episode where the heroine wanted a red flower.

Yes...that's the girl Arleigh met. Furthermore, in this story, three barbayaga appear and give the heroine a tool.

I think that's a subtlety that fits with the purpose of this event. Then there's only action. When I logged in again, I found Arleigh and the others.

'Oh!　What have you found out?

'Oh. Anyway, let's go to the girl you bumped into.

'What?　Oh, oh.

I give them a rundown of the stories I've found along the way.

'I didn't know that story existed...'

'It certainly sounds a lot like the story when you hear it, doesn't it? Only the Barbayaga isn't helping, though.

Well, I don't think they're going to recreate a folktale, do you?　There's no demons or anything like that in the first place.

That's very astute for an Arleigh... yes. There are no demons in this story. There is a mean sister in it, though. The question is, how does the devil get involved?

Then we find the girl that Arleigh found. Arleigh spotted her, so Arleigh calls out on behalf of her.

"Hey, hey. That's the girl over there. Do you want to have a little chat with us?

Why are you picking on me? Who's this guy?

The girl stopped in front of Kaito.

Huh...

He sighed and left.

Arleigh froze and put her hands on the ground.

'It's harder than being through...'

Well, that was tough.

"But the girls are leaving!　Wait, wait!　The girl with the red flower over there.

The girl turned as Chiffon called out to her.

'Is it me?'

'Yes!　We're not suspicious.

That's a line from a suspicious person. The girl's gaze changes to look at the suspicious person completely.

Miranda tells me to take Chiffon's place and I respond.

'We're adventurers. Here, guild card.

The girl's suspicious gaze is gone for now as I show her my guild card.

''What is the Adventurer's Guild talking to me about?''

Actually, I wanted to ask you about that red flower you're holding. Who gave you that flower?

Is this from my father?

Just like the folklore.

'I see... do you always carry a red flower around with you?

...no. I've been trying to carry it around with me lately.

Why do you carry it around with you?

It's... just leave it alone!

The girl started running and went away. No good~.

'You got dumped. Tact.

I don't need a sigh from the guy who sighed.

However, this left me in limbo.

''Um...I'm sorry.''

They called out to me and we all turned to see a dandy.

'I'm the boy's father. Would you allow me to consult with you about that boy for a moment?

It sounds like we can talk about it in detail. Good.

It's not uncommon for a father to catch you talking to someone.

We were damaged by Miranda's comments.

We were led to the house of the girl with the red flower and heard from her father again.

'Now, I don't know where to begin... do you guys know anything about that flower?'

No. What's going on?

I know the truth, but I want to know the storyline from scratch.

'Yes. I looked for that flower that she desperately wanted and gave it to her, but that flower was the favorite of a certain country's prince, and it seems that until recently my daughter and the prince met, but a few days ago the prince didn't show up, and my daughter started carrying the red flower around with her.

Hmm. It's a little different. Let's check it out.

"You can't think of anything else about the prince's disappearance?　For example, what did the other sisters do?

'Ha, my daughter is one. And I really don't know about the reason. That's why I think that's why she can only do things like that.

I see. So this is the wrong place... in the original story, the mean sisters would have worked on the windows to prevent the prince from coming, but considering the devil, the flow of the devil doing something to the prince?

'I feel sorry for my daughter as it is...Prince...will you find Prince Finist?

The info comes.

'An event quest 'Find Prince Finist' has occurred. Do you wish to accept it?

Event Quest: Find the Prince of Finest: Difficulty Level E
Reward: Event Points
Find the missing Prince Finist.

Now it's confirmed that this event is based on a folk tale. Naturally they nodded when I checked with the three of them.

I understand. We'll try to find Prince Finist on our own.

Thank you.

Now we've got the flow of this event. All that's left to do now is to conquer it.
