I decided to ask the villagers about the incident from five years ago.
The Anomaly that appeared on the last day of the Kuiskaus Festival, causing nine people to go missing and then disappearing.
I had a feeling that investigating that Anomaly might lead to a clue about the second tool.
“Should I ask the restaurant owner first?”
Se-hwa said, getting up from her seat.
The restaurant was packed with people having lunch.

Everyone wore happy smiles as they ate with their families or friends.
Looking at it, it felt like a scene from a peaceful countryside village painted in a picture.

However, something unsettling had happened in this restaurant.
When Se-hwa was talking to the restaurant owner, everyone inside was staring at her.
No matter how you looked at it, that sight was not normal.
“I’d like to pay here. And I have something to ask you, do you have a moment?”
Еṅům â
Se-hwa asked the restaurant owner as she paid for her lunch.
A puzzled expression appeared on the restaurant owner’s face.
“What is it?”
“How long have you been working at this restaurant?”

“At least 20 years. But compared to the other shops around here, I’m still relatively young.”
The restaurant owner, with a kind smile, said with emphasis, as if proud.

“Although my experience is short, this is the most popular restaurant in town.”
“That’s amazing!”
Se-hwa subtly complimented her, trying to win the restaurant owner over.
Then, she asked the real question she had intended to ask.
“The Anomaly incident that happened in this village five years ago. Do you know anything about that incident?”
The restaurant owner’s expression darkened for a moment.

The dark expression disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her usual kind demeanor.
“It was a tragic incident. By the way, it’s surprising that a tourist knows about that incident. It wasn’t a very famous incident, though.”
“I became interested and looked it up on the internet. So, do you know anything about the incident? I had some questions about it, but the internet didn’t have detailed information.”
Se-hwa carefully chose her words and asked cautiously.
Upon hearing the question, the restaurant owner didn’t make eye contact with Se-hwa and began staring at a distant point behind Se-hwa’s shoulder.
“The Anomaly appeared at the closing event of the festival, and a total of nine victims went missing at that time. Oh, those poor people…”
Е̇_n̄um̀_а̌
The restaurant owner explained the incident.
However, it was common information that could be found on the internet, so I already knew everything.

“Is there anything else? Anything related to the incident, such as the appearance of the Anomaly or the identities of the victims, would be fine.”
“I was running the restaurant at the time, so I didn’t see the scene directly. I’ve only heard rumors, so it’s difficult for me to answer. It’s not happy news either.”
Se-hwa tried to dig up more information, but she couldn’t get any more.
She was worried that the restaurant people would stare at her again, so she paid attention and sensed her surroundings, but this time people were not looking at her and were eating their meals normally.
W е b̆ nӧv ѐl Е n u̇ ḿ a
“Thank you for answering.”
Se-hwa eventually ended the conversation with the restaurant owner without gaining much.
As she stepped outside the restaurant, Se-hwa’s smartphone vibrated.
“The rental car company is calling. They said they’ll bring a new car. Let’s go get the car for now.”

Se-hwa and I went to the front of the accommodation where the car was parked and waited for a while, and then a rental car company employee arrived.
The employee handed over a new car with a brief apology and towed away the broken car.

“Now we can go outside.”
“But I think we need to investigate the village more.”
“You think so too, Seo-hwa? I think there’s definitely something in this village.”
It was pointless to have received a new car, as there were no plans to go outside.
Se-hwa said that since we were at the accommodation anyway, let’s ask the accommodation owner about the incident from five years ago.
We went back to the accommodation together and asked the old woman who owned the place.

“Do you know anything about the Anomaly incident that happened during the festival five years ago?”
We talked to the owner at the accommodation counter.
The old woman only told us what we already knew.
Unfortunately, there was no new information this time either.
After that, we went around the village and asked various people.
However, everyone only told us the same things as if they had made a promise, and we couldn’t find out any new information.
W̄ е̇ b n ŏv̌ е̊l Ēṅum а
“Ugh. How come we haven’t found out anything at all?”
Se-hwa said, stretching.

I didn’t feel good either, as it felt like we were just going around in circles.
“There’s no progress at all. It feels like we’ve fallen into a bottomless swamp.”
It had already been several days since we came to the village, but we hadn’t even found a trace of the Anomaly.
The only information we had obtained was that the Anomaly had appeared at the Kuiskaus Festival, but it wasn’t even certain whether that was related to the second tool.
Wеb n.ӧ v̈ еl̀ Е n̈ u m а̃
“I guess we have no choice but to wait until the Kuiskaus Festival tomorrow.”
Se-hwa drooped her shoulders as if exhausted.
The festival will definitely start tomorrow.
If we wait until the festival is held, the future direction will be determined, whether the Anomaly appears or nothing happens.

But that doesn’t suit my temperament.
“Shall we summon the hidden Anomaly?”
Wе̂b ǹ o v̂ е̂ l̀ Е̇nú m̀ã
Waiting isn’t fun.
“Huh? What did you say?”
“It’s boring to wait for the festival without doing anything. Shouldn’t we summon the Anomaly one step ahead?”
Se-hwa’s eyes shook greatly.
“I, is that possible?”
“It’s not guaranteed to succeed.”

Upon hearing my answer, Se-hwa seemed to realize that I wasn’t joking.
The strength returned to her drooping shoulders.
“Is it dangerous? If it’s dangerous, I don’t think we should do it. The festival starts in two days anyway.”
“It’s not dangerous at all.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, it’s very safe.”

Despite my answer, Se-hwa continued to give me suspicious eyes.
She’s always meeting Anomalies, so why is she so afraid of summoning one?

“Se-hwa, you can just watch from behind. I’ll take care of it.”
“Umm. Ah, I understand. I’ll trust Seo-hwa. Let’s do it.”
“We need preparations to summon the Anomaly.”
Se-hwa and I roamed the village shopping district and diligently prepared the items to summon the Anomaly.

After gathering all the preparations, we settled in a quiet, deserted open space.
“It has a somewhat eerie atmosphere.”
The empty open space, devoid of people, contrasted with the bustling village and created a bleak atmosphere.
We begin preparations for the ritual.

“I’ve learned something from listening to the conversations. A common point in the villagers’ statements is that the Anomaly appeared on the last day of the festival.”
We pile up small stacks of firewood.

“They also said it came out on the last day of the festival, at the bonfire event. Everyone said that without exception.”
We arrange human-like dolls in a circle around the bonfire.
“We’re imitating the festival ritual. If we arrange the shapes similarly and add a little trickery, the Anomaly might be fooled.”
Se-hwa took a few steps back and observed me preparing the ritual.
We roughly imitated the shape of the festival bonfire event by placing firewood and dolls.
Finally, when we lit the firewood, the bonfire blazed and a strong heat was felt.

“We copied the appearance of the event. It’s not perfect, but if we add a trick, the Anomaly might appear.”
The Anomaly’s senses are different from humans.
Unlike humans, who rely heavily on sight, Anomalies perceive things in various ways.
Human hair, breath, and blood are things that Anomalies can universally recognize and especially like.
I take out a special Anomaly bait that I had stored.
I crush the bait into small pieces and sprinkle it on the dolls surrounding the bonfire.

“I, is it done?”
“Yes. Now we just have to wait for it to take the bait.”

The Anomaly that disappeared after causing nine villagers to go missing five years ago.
We wait for the guy whose scent we couldn’t even smell even after wandering around every corner of the village to take the bait.
Kugugugu―.
The ground vibrates slightly.
Ẇ е́b̆ n̄о ṽ е ĺ Е̇numа̊
Se-hwa didn’t seem to notice the vibration.
I could feel something coming up from underground, faintly shaking the ground.
It seems like it couldn’t smell it because it was underground.
Thump.

A hand that came up through the ground grabbed a doll.
The grabbed doll was quickly pulled down under the ground and disappeared.

“Huh? W, what was that just now? The doll suddenly disappeared?”
It’s time for a fun whack-a-mole game.

“The Anomaly has been caught. It looks like a mole.”
Se-hwa doesn’t seem to have seen the Anomaly’s hand.
