"Thank you for bringing me." Miki said as Rubi nodded and had Miki on her back. Craig was walking in front of then as he smiled and looked around. "Don't mention it. We just though that maybe a extra partner wouldn't be bad to have. And you are kinda of a low level so..." "Hey! Are you calling me weak!? I can be stronger than you!" "Heh. You can say that." Craig said. Rubi walked faster and got beside him as she then swiped down, pulling out her menu and going to a message. "Oh. Babe. I don't know if you know this, but Ethan sent me a message about something. He said it included you. Do you maybe know about what it can be about?" She asked as Miki did the same quickly and nodded with her. "Onii-San did the same to me too. And he sent it to everyone else."

Craig thought for a moment as he then shrugged and kept walking. "Might just want to have a brag session about me. Then again, it's werid how everyone else got it expect for me. But let's not worry about it. Our main mission is about this monster that Yami wanted to see. It has to be some rare super duper monster by what she said." He said in a sarcastic way with a chuckle at the end. Rubi punched his arm softly. "Come on. It sounds interesting. Something that caught both of our attention. Somehow." She said as then they both looked at each other with a little blush on their cheeks.

Miki giggled as she sighed and put her head onto Rubi's shoulder. "You two act so much like a couple. It's so obvious." Craig looked back at Miki and smirked. "Are you jealous? Hmm... How about this?" He said as he then kissed Miki on the cheek and her whole entire face came red. Rubi looked at him with a grumpy face and a growl. "Oh yeah." He then kissed her on the lips and she became as red as Miki. "There you two go. The first one for making Miki unjealous, and the second for just proving my point of me and Rubi being a couple. Oh hey, the cave! Let's get in there!" He said happily as he ran right into the cave. Rubi and Miki stood still for a moment, still being stunned from his kisses. "What...." They both said as then they just started to walk with him.

Craig was looking around the cave as he then rubbed his arms and shook a bit. "It's cold as crap in here." He then then looked through his inventory and pulled out a winter jacket for the moment for him to use. The girls behind him were cold too as then Miki pulled out a blanket for her to use and Rubi was still freezing. Craig then selected to take off his jacket and handed it over to Rubi. She looked at it and then back at him and smiled. "You seem more cold then me. I can stand a little cold." He said as she nodded and took it from him, putting it on herself. "T-Thanks."

Miki kept looking around as she then smiled and pointed at a opening in the cave. "Hey! I found the monster!" Miki ran into the cave as then Craig and Rubi followed her. The three of them stopped as they looked at the monster in front if them, which was covered in ice and just stayed on all fours while looked at them with it's teeth out. It wasn't making any hostile noises, but just looking at at them. Miki came closer to the beast as she smiled and put a hand out. "It's... Cute..."

Craig looked around as he crossed his arms. "This feels fishy." He said as then the monster laid onto it's stomach and closed it eyes, falling to sleep. Rubi smiled a bit as she then spawned a blanket from her inventory on the ground and Craig and Miki looked at it in confusion.

"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm hungry!" They sat down as then Craig and Rubi both pulled out a basket and smiled. "I bought us something to eat!" They said as then they looked at each other with a confused look. "Ummm... Where did you get your stuff from?" Rubi asked. "I got it from Asuna. Sh-" "Oh. I think you said enough." Rubi said sadly as she sat down on the blanket with a frown. Craug then had a idea to throw Asuna's sandwiches away while smling, satisfying Rubi as she then looked at the sandwiches and he sat down. "So how about those sandwiches? They sound delicious right aboht now." Craig said as then Rubi pulled out her sandwiches and handed them to both Miki and Craig. "Bon Appite!"

Craig and Miki both smiled as then they took a bite of the sandwich and were happy in the bite, but then their expressions started to change.

"Sooo?" Rubi came to the both of them with a bright smile on her face.

"S-So... What's your cooking level?" Craig asked as then he smiled weakly. Rubi shrugged as she rubbed her head. "Um... Oh! I'm a C+ at it!" "C+? T-That's not bad..." Miki said as then both of them had trouble still chewing the sandwhich. Eventually, they both swallowed it and smiled at Rubi. She was going to say something, until her eyes widened and she stood up quickly. "Hide!" She said in a whisper shout and the three of them then went behind a rock. The three of them looked over the rock and saw four players walk inside of the cave and saw the beast. The group of guys looked at the beast as then they started to walk towards it with thier swords.

Miki's eyes widened as she saw them starting to gang up on the defenseless creature. She got angry and jumped the rock and got in front of it. "Miki! Damn her..." Craig said as he then got to her side and Rubi did the same. Everyone pulled out their weapons as they all looked at each other...
