### Quest Start

**Shopkeeper:** Mr. Mayor, good morning. Ah? You're not looking all that peachy, didn't you get a good night's rest?
**Mayor Greg:** No, I don't know why, but lately in the night there's been strange sounds, like bells chiming. I've had a hard time sleeping.
**Shopkeeper:** Bells chiming? Let me think...
**Fina:** Hey hey, think all you like, but why are you staring at me?
**Shopkeeper:** Fina, don't you have a small bell on your neck? Have you been running around all night being noisy again?
**Fina:** What? What does that have to do with me? What do you mean with "again"? When am I ever loud and noisy?
**Shopkeeper:** You're noisy all the time...
**Mayor Greg:**
**Fina:** You... And you're saying I'm noisy...?! I don't know what to say, but do you honestly think I'd be willing to run around outside all night? It's just that I can't control myself! Just turn me back into a human if you can!
**Shopkeeper:** Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just making sure.
**Fina:** Ahhh, life is hard! If I'm lying around after dinner you're say I'm fat, and if I run around you'd think I'm noisy! And when the Mayor can't sleep you'd think it's my fault, I feel so wronged!
**Shopkeeper:**
**Mayor Greg:** Fina, don't fret, I can confirm the bell chiming is not yours. It sounds as if it's far away, but it is still very clear, and it chimes all night through, it's really strange.
**Fina:** Wow, Mr. Mayor is the best, he's on my side.
**Shopkeeper:**
**Mayor Greg:** Heh, that's because I know that the sound of Fina's bell is more melodious, and one obviously first hears it coming closer at a rapid pace, only to get further away even quicker. I've even counted how many times it rings, at least 5 times every night.
**Fina:** ...
**Shopkeeper:** Haha, you are quite familiar with it, I think I know what's going on.
**Fina:** I...
**Mayor Greg:** \*Cough cough\*, Fina, don't worry, I like the sound of your bell. Anyway, do you think the strange chiming has anything to do with magic? For the sake of safety, we'd better get to the bottom of this.
**Shopkeeper:** That's a good idea. I'll organize adventurers to investigate. Fina, you come along too.
**Fina:** How about I don't? The nearby residents have all heard my bell. I'd get all embarrassed, see you...
*[Fina leaves]*
**Shopkeeper:** Haha, that's true. Mr. Mayor, then I'll take my leave, see you later!
**Mayor Greg:** Yes, then I'll leave this in your hands.
### Quest End

**Mayor Greg:** How did it go? Did you find anything?
**Shopkeeper:** See, we found this bell in the forest behind the Town Hall yesterday. I don't know why, but it feels very familiar. I just can't put my finger on where I've seen it.
**Mayor Greg:** I think so too. I didn't hear the bell ringing yesterday, it must have been this one.
**Shopkeeper:** Yes. I'll continue to investigate this thing, don't worry.
**Mayor Greg:** Okay, but the bell really does look very intricate. You'd probably be able to sell quite a few if you began making them yourselves.
**Shopkeeper:** Mr. Mayor, you've got a good mind for business. I'll take it back and show Fina. She's ignored me for a few days already. I think this idea of yours will get her in a better mood.
**Mayor Greg:** Haha, wish you luck.
