In the river inside the forest, Harukin arrived while carrying a rolled futon and a basket of used clothes. He dropped it on the ground besides the river and took out one of his magic staves in his dimensional storage, he planted it on the ground then he casted a magic,
"Water Magic, Waterspout!"
A columnar water vortex rose from river, but it's only high as a small tree. Harukin took out a detergent powder from dimensional storage and threw it on the water vortex. After that, he also threw futon and the used clothes.
After he finish washing the futon and clothes, he laid it on boulder near the river. He looked around if someone was watching him, then he pointed his right index finger towards the sky and created a small miniature of sun.
"Cruel Sun," he mumbled.
Suddenly the futon and clothes dries faster as he exposed it in the small sun in his index finger. After that, he left it remains to be exposes and dries by the real sun.
"Now, it's finish..." he spoke while yawning.
Feeling tired, he controlled his breathing as he use Hamon to climb up the big tree and laid down to the one of branches to take a short nap.

Meanwhile, there was a lost little girl who's walking in the middle of the forest, she has mid-length dark brown hair tied into two twintail that lie on her shoulders, a fair skin and a crimson-colored eyes, she was crying as she walks around the forest,
*sob* *sob* *sob*
"Uuuu... Father where are you!" she shouted while sobbing.
She heard a flowing river and went towards it. When she arrived at the river, she still didn't recognize the place so she continues to cry,
"Uuuuuu... Father!" she shouted desperately."
"Will you stop making annoying noise! I'm trying to take a nap here," someone suddenly yelled at her.
"Huh?" She reacted as she stopped crying.
She noticed a little boy with barcode birthmark under his right eye and white eye patch, who's standing on top of a big branch of the tree in front of her.
"Hey you, the little girl over there, this place is dangerous because many monsters are roaming around here so, you should go back home," he spoke.
"I'm... sorry," all she can do is apologized.
"Wait there, I'll come to you," he said then he jumped from a high altitude tree and landed in front of her.
He glanced at her, "Now, explain yourself little girl."
She thought while staring at him, 'Even though we look like the same age, he calls me a little girl. This boy is mean, but first...'
"Please be my friend!" she said while being flustered.
The little boy right eye widened in surprise when he heard what she said. but suddenly, he laughed hard,
"Pfffft... hahaha... instead of finding some friends inside village, you went here in the forest, hahaha... your a weird girl."
"Please, don't call me weird..." She said while being reddened in embarrassment.
"Well, I don't mind being your friend because you're seems interesting. By the way, my name is Harukin." he introduced himself.
"You don't do... our clan introduction?" she asked.
"It's to cringey for me, do you want to do it?" Harukin replied.
She shook her head and said,
"No."
"Then, since it's just the two of us, we don't have to do it." he said with a kindly smile.
"Yes..." she nodded in agreement.
"By the way, you seemed lost, do you want me to show you the way back to the village?" Harukin asked.
"Yes." she responded.
"Okay then, let's go." he turned around from and walked.
"Uhm... Harukin?" she called.
Harukin looked behind and glanced at her,
"Yes?"
"My name is... Yunyun..." she shyly spoke.
He thought, 'Oh, this must be that Yunyun, Megumin's self-proclaimed rival.'
"Then, Yunyun. Let's go." he said with smile as he lifted his left hand towards her.
"Yes!" she happily smiled at him as she took his hand.
The two of walked together through the forest, Harukin showed her the way back to the village and returned her to her home.

One day later, Harukin was in their living room, lying his head and sleeping on her mother's lap while his mother massaging his head.
Megumin was covered in brown blanket with several patches and she's sleeping besides Harukin.
"Dear, aren't you spoiling Harukin to much." Hyoizaburoo complained.
"Ara ara, Honey. Harukin does most of the chores at home like washing our clothes, cleaning the house, washing the dishes, food hunting, cooking, shopping and others so, it's okay to spoil him. Do you have any complaint?" she said with menacing aura.
"Nothing." he responded then became quiet.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
Suddenly, someone was knocked into their door,
"Yes?!"
Hyoizaburoo went and opened their front door as he slides it. He saw someone he recognized, it was their village chief who visited their house. He's a middle-aged man with a mustache, dark hair and red eyes.
"Oh! Village Chief, do you need something?" Hyoizaburoo asked.
"I apologises for the sudden visit, but can I talk with your family?" the Chief replied.
"Sure, you can come inside, Chief." Hyoizaburoo welcome him inside.
"Also I brought my daughter with me, can she meet your children and play with them?" the chief asked as he shows his daughter who's shyly hiding behind him.
"Of course, she can play with Megumin, but for Harukin, she shouldn't." Hyoizaburoo responded.
"Why? What's wrong with your son?" the Chief curiously asked.
"I think, you should see for yourself." Hyoizaburoo said as he let them get inside their house.
The Chief and her daughter went inside as they walked towards the living room. When they arrived, they saw Hyoizaburoo's wife, Yuiyui sitting with her children sleeping besides her,
"Ara, Isn't it the Village Chief, Hiropon and her daughter, Yunyun, welcome and sit there. And also please make yourself comfortable." Yuiyui said with kind smile.
"Thank you." Hiropon said as he slightly bowed.
All of them sat around the living room.
"Village Chief, what's the thing that you want to talk About?" Hyoizaburoo asked.
"Yesterday, my daughter disappeared and got lost somewhere around the forest. Thanks to your son, Harukin, she was able to get back home safely. I want to thank your son for helping my daughter." he spoke as he bowed slightly out of gratitude.
"I think, it should be no problem for him because this son of us is really helpful to us even though he's only five years old kid." Yuiyui responded.
"Can we talk with your son? My daughter is asking me that she wants to meet her friend here near the forest, so I went with her to prevent her from getting lost again." Hiropon requested.
"Sure," Yuiyui nodded then she glanced at Harukin who's sleeping on her lap, she gently shook her son,
"Harukin... wake up, someone wants to meet you."
"Ummm... Mom, who is it?" Harukin asked as he sat up and yawned.
When Harukin woke up, his twin sister Megumin also woke up who's sleeping besides him.
"What's wrong... Mom?" Megumin said while still sleepy.
"Harukin, I'll introduce to you, this is our Village Chief and her daughter." Yuiyui spoke.
Harukin glanced at the two visitors, he saw a middle aged man with mustache and his friend Yunyun who's shyly hiding behind his father.
Suddenly, the Village Chief stood up and crossed his arms between his chest,
"I am called Hiropon! The chief of this village, and he who leads the Crimson Demons!" he loudly introduced himself.
Then he glanced at Yunyun,
"Yunyun, you should also introduce yourself."
"But father, it's embarrassing..." Yunyun replied.
"As a future leader of the Crimson Demons, you should." Hiropon encouraged her.
"This is embarrassing but, Ahem..." Yunyun said as she cleared her throat then she raised sideward both of her arms,
"I am called Yunyun! The future foremost mage among the Crimson Demons, and the future leader of this village!" she also loudly introduced herself.
"..."
Harukin was silent with stoic expression on his face, he thought, 'Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past!' while looking at a empty space in the living room.
"Harukin!" His mother Yuiyui shook him.
"What?" Harukin woke up from being dazed.
"You should properly introduce yourself to them." Yuiyui asked him.
"Okay Mom, I'll do it," Harukin nodded then he glanced at Hiropon and Yunyun,
"My name is Harukin. Nice to meet you, Village Chief and Yunyun." he properly introduced himself as he slightly bowed in front of them.
