[quote]"We're actually heading out to look for Yurine." Takeshi answered the Wererabbit before voicing his concern. "I won't stop you from exploring the island, but you do realize we're in the middle of an invasion, right? Even if the settlements and shrines around here are still intact, traveling to them will probably get you a bad encounter with the Varjans. You may be a yokai, but I think it's too dangerous to be just roaming around."[/quote]

"Hmph." The wererabbit huffed with her arms crossed. "If it were just a bunch of ordinary Varjan troops, I think I can handle it just fine."

[quote]"Why don't you come with us? You can go sightseeing while on the way." He offered to Lunatea. It would also be quite convenient for him since he could keep watch of the yokai and make sure they don't get into any trouble.[/quote]

"Sure, we can do that," Lunatea answered. "Beats staying here, doing nothing. I've recorded all the data I could from this place."

She glanced at the young lord's entourage. She was happy that she would be with the sisters again but the same couldn't be said regarding the presence of Skarsneek, whom she quickly gave a cold stare towards.

Suddenly, a flash of light came from the pagoda in the center of the temple complex. Lunatea, not knowing that it was a place where new members of the Taskforce got teleported to, gave Takeshi a questioning and worried look.

"What was that? An attack?"

Only after Takeshi explained it to her did she calm down. [i]Another new one, huh? Just how many people this Taskforce is going to have?[/i]

ᅠ

When they entered the pagoda, there was indeed a person there. Someone new, and a monster, just like them.

[i]That shortness… Takeshi said she's a dwarf but to be more correct, she has to be—[/i]

Too late. She was already offended.

"Pleased to meet you. My name is Lunatea Vern Farnsworth, a Wererabbit." She gave a polite bow.

Her gaze quickly landed on the mechanical arm she possessed. She was somewhat interested in it, not because she was a fan of machines or magitek, but just because it was part of Gremlin culture. Back at home, her race certainly didn't use anything like it. They preferred to utilize magical tools instead, objects imbued with magic by the usage of runic magic.
