As Sanemi and Mizuki approach the village, they are met with a surprising sight. The village is bustling with activity, filled with people going about their daily lives. Children laugh and play, merchants display their wares, and a sense of tranquility hangs in the air.

Sanemi looks around, his brows furrowed in confusion. "This doesn't make sense. If there were Grimm infestations here, shouldn't there be signs of chaos and fear?"

Mizuki's eyes scan the scene, her expression thoughtful. "It seems the intel we received may have been inaccurate or outdated. I can't sense any Grimm presence in the vicinity. Perhaps the threat has been dealt with already."

Sanemi's gaze narrows as he tries to piece together the puzzle. "But how? If there was a powerful Grimm causing trouble, someone must have intervened. We should investigate further to be sure."

Mizuki nods in agreement. "You're right, Sanemi. We can't afford to take any chances. Let's speak with the village elder and gather more information. There may be more to this situation than meets the eye."

Together, Sanemi and Mizuki make their way towards the village elder's residence. The village elder, a wise and respected figure, welcomes them warmly and offers them a seat.

Sanemi straightens his posture, his eyes fixed on the village elder. "Elder, we were informed that the village was under threat from Grimm. However, upon our arrival, we found everything to be peaceful. Can you shed some light on this matter?"

The village elder chuckles softly, his voice carrying a tone of reassurance. "Ah, I see the confusion on your faces. It appears there has been a misunderstanding. You see, a group of young hunters passed through our village not too long ago. They faced the Grimm threat head-on and managed to eliminate it completely."

Sanemi's eyes widen in surprise, his confusion dissipating. "So, the threat has been neutralized by other hunters?"

The village elder nods. "Indeed. They were a remarkable group, courageous and skilled beyond their years. They arrived just in time and swiftly dealt with the Grimm that had plagued our village. We are grateful for their help."

Mizuki's gaze softens, her voice filled with admiration. "It's heartening to know that there are other hunters out there, ready to protect the innocent. We should find these young hunters and express our gratitude."

The village elder smiles warmly. "That would be a kind gesture. They have already left the village, continuing their journey to aid others in need. But I'm sure they would appreciate your words of appreciation."

Sanemi and Mizuki exchange glances, a mix of relief and gratitude washing over them. Although their mission turned out differently than expected, they take solace in knowing that the village is safe and that other hunters have already taken care of the threat.

As they leave the village elder's residence, Sanemi's lips curve into a small smile. "Well, it seems our mission here has taken an unexpected turn. But at least the people are safe, thanks to those young hunters."

Yang playfully nudges Sanemi with her elbow. "Guess we don't always have to fight the big bad Grimm, huh? Sometimes, others beat us to the punch."

Sanemi chuckles, his voice lighthearted. "Yeah, seems like it. But hey, at least we got a chance to enjoy some peaceful scenery for a change."
