Albert was living his own quiet life on the new monster ranch, Drinking Pinberry wine and trying to grow other plants that could produce food. For example, just a day ago he grew a little patch of pumpkins and had already raised a giant pumpkin the size of a boat with the help of his Tangle trait. Now what he could do with this giant pumpkin he still didn't know because with the pinberries he made wine and several sweets but he didn't know what to do with a pumpkin that could be classed as a ship.

Now the Barioth? That little guy made his nest up in the bamboo forest and although he already has a bed he occasionally sleeps on Albert's front porch. The amount of meat and fish that Albert obtained as gifts from the other monsters had drastically increased lately. Even the Arzuros that usually never acknowledged him, started to warm up to him because he found and gave it a lot of wild honey.

Today wouldn't be his average quiet day at all now, would it? Albert sat in his rocking chair in one of the rows of Pinberry shrubs as he looked on in the distance.

'Ohta?'-Albert

He looked on in the distance as he saw Ohta accompanied by two men, one of the men stood menacingly behind Ohta and even though the man looked to be elderly he had to be the most uncomfortably buff man Albert had seen in his life. The other one looked to be more of the instructor type as he spoke casually with Ohta and he was dressed in dark attire more suitable for stealth.

The group came down and passed the monsters without much difficulty even though none of them acknowledged the fact the monsters were ignoring them. As they came past a Bishaten, it calmly looked at them and then went and sat on a rock while eating fruit, never did it attempt to attack them in any way shape, or form but it enjoyed watching the light anxiousness it saw in their eyes as it walked around them.

"Chief Fugen I told you the monsters are docile!"-Ohta

"Ohta I know I told you it was impossible now that I have seen it with my own eyes..."-Chief Fugen

"Never expected what Ohta said to be true but if this is truly the case then..."-Man in Dark attire.

They looked towards the Temple that had previously been abandoned but had since been rebuilt with a wonderful garden beside it, it almost made them disregard the Barioth that sat curled up on the front of the temple.

"Master Utsushi if you may"-Chief Fugen

"Right away Chief"-Master Utsushi, the man in dark attire.

He checked all around the property for traps using his keen vision but he did not spot anything, at least not anything that seemed dangerous for him, But in the center of the garden, there was a man with blue hair sitting down on a rocking chair drinking what he assumed to be alcohol based on the scent.

As he returned he realized that the fruit seemed rather strange and not at all like the fruit he had seen in Kamura village, it seemed a lot like the fruit that the Bishaten would eat but the little fruits seemed much too soft and squishy to be as hard as the pumpkin like fruits, speaking of pumpkin, there was a pumpkin patch sitting right beside the garden however the only issue was... The pumpkins were too damn big! One was almost half the size of the house next to it!

He came back and reported it almost immediately to the chief who although had his forever stoic face, he had a slight tint of surprise.

"Shall we enter the Home?"-Master Utsushi

"Yes we may"-Chief Fugen

As they were about to open the door to the home they saw someone with blue hair enter the home through the side door and disappear into the home.

The door was then opened by a young man appearing to be in his 20s although he seemed to be very toned, much too toned for someone of his age.

"And who may you be?"-Albert

The young man said politely to the visitors as he welcomed them inside of his home.

"Please sit down and tell me your story I will get you all a drink immediately."-Albert

The man scrambled around getting various wooden cups and a few glass bottles of what seemed to be wine. As they sat down at the rickety wooden table that seemed to have been hand carved, they were treated with a strong and intense floral smell coming from the cups in front of them.

Without hesitation Ohta started sipping his cup while Chief Fugen and Master Utsushi eyed the drinks with caution.

"No need to worry! These are all new bottles from today, with the amount of wine I make nowadays you would think I was the richest man around!"-Albert

"So what did you come here for?'-Albert

Chief Fugen coughed into his hand and began explaining.

"Many reports from the Felyne chief showed that the monsters around this area had become a lot more docile, to the point that they would just not attack any merchants, or nobles. Now this limited a lot of the missions from the area here which therefore also limited the revenue the Hunter Guild would obtain for the village."-Chief Fugen

"Now while this would be good, it also has caused an imbalance in available areas to give trials to the newly enrolled Hunters"-Chief Fugen

"So what you are saying is, you need a way to test the newbies? Why don't you use the Frost Islands?"-Albert

"A little too harsh for them, plus the missions we get for the Frost islands are limited."-Chief Fugen

"You said that the Merchants would pass through no issue right? Hasn't that increased the amount of business in the village? I believe that would be the case yes?"-Albert

"Business has increased, but the ability to trial the new recruits is harder now that the monsters around here are docile."-Chief Fugen

"But that begs the question, What are you doing here?"-Chief Fugen
