TWO WEEKS LATER
"My new house looks nice!" Jun smiled as he looked at his finished house.
He moves out from his old one and now lives on a mountain far south of Chloe's farmland. He decided not to live in the middle of the island surrounded by the lake. His house is made of concrete, the material he figured out how to make back in Hwalshindo.
"Nice!" Max runs into Jun while walking around town "That looks so good!"
"Thank you, thank you," Jun says.
"Well, I'll see ya later" Max walks away back to his house.
"Yeah," Jun said as he smiled "It looks like no one likes my house.. I don't care! I think it's awesome!"
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 3, CHAPTER 21, THE WOOD
MOISES'S HOUSE
"Yeah, so if you wanted to join-" Jun interrupts Moises by opening the door to his house "Yo! What's up!" He waved.
"Hey, man!" Moises and Jun did a cool handshake.
They both became friends and hung out with each other a lot after meeting.
TWO WEEKS AGO
"Aaah!! Aaah!!" Jun screams as he walks through the mud. It's raining very hard as lightning strikes. Jun's foot sinks into the mud while he lifts a heavy log with Moises.
They are in the Woods, gathering wood for their houses. "Come on, Jun! You got this Jun!!" Moises shouted out loud while laughing.
But then Moises falls onto the ground and gets dirty by the mud. "Hahaha!" Jun laughed out loud until he plummeted his face to the ground. "Ewww!!" Jun screamed out.
Moises laughs. Jun laughs along with him "God damn it, Moises" Jun says. Jun gets up and puts his hand out to grab Moises's. He stood up "Man the weather is so bad here!" Moises shouted. "Yeah, I've never experienced this back in Hwalshindo Izuzunu!" They both shouted at each other due to the loud rain.
"What's your full name?" Moises asked. Jun thought about it for a moment "I... I don't remember"
"What?? I thought you would at least remember your full name" Moises laughed "I'm Moises Alvarez" Moises introduced himself again. "Alvarez, I see," Jun said. He thought about his name. Why can't he remember his name and everyone else does? Is there something wrong with his memories?
"Come on, let's get back to work," Jun said as they both picked up the logs "Aaaaah!!" Moises grunts and shouts.
PRESENT DAY
"Another girl," He said in his head "She's a druzel though, right?"
Another girl sat on the chair in Moises's house with a glass of water. She had bright white and blue hair and her eyes were two different colors. Her left eye is brown and her right is light purple. She waved at Jun and he waved back.
"Damn, there's so many lost people in this area," Jun said to himself.
"Lilly Vernnine" Moises said to Jun.
"Lilly, huh?" He walks up to Lilly "Welcome to Izuzunu"
"Thank you," Lilly says as she says "I can't remember anything.. only my name"
All of a sudden it hits Jun "Wait... what" Jun said in his head, surprised and shocked as confusion ran down his head. "A druzel... doesn't remember... anything?" Jun says in his head again.
"Lilly... how do you not remember anything?" Jun asks. "I don't know, I just don't... Jun, are you okay?" She asks.
"Yeah.. yeah I'm fine" Jun stops.
"You got any bones?" Jun asks Moises.
"Nah" He answered.
Jun looks at his Sodizu he left at Moises's house last night "Moises, did you drink all my Sodizu"
"Oh, no" Moises replied "But I did use all your arrows you left here"
"Bro!" Jun shouted.
"Excuse me, so, am I supposed to just trust you guys?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah, basically. That's how me and Moises became friends, we trust each other and I invite him to our country, and then we live!"
Lilly replied "I understand... Who do I live with though?"
"You could either live with me, Moises or make your own house. We'll help you build it!" Jun made sure.
"Moises.. Moises.. Moises??" Jun turned around, Moises standing there.
"Oh, what- what?" Moises answered back as he turned around.
"Haha, you're always so weird," Jun said while sitting down on the chair.
"I need to finish my house-" Moises cuts himself out by yelling "What the hell!" Moises punches the wall as Jun looks up "My wood!"
"What?" Jun said as he stood up.
Moises walks out of his house and slams the door shut. Jun and Lilly looked at each other with a confused face.
"Come on, Lilly!" Jun runs and opens the door.
Lilly gets off the chair and starts running with Jun.
"Okay, what the hell's going on?" Jun said to himself as he ran through the forests.
Moises stops in the middle of the path, almost everyone is there.
"Who... the hell... took.. my wood" Moises pulls his sword out.
"Someone better tell me or else I'm gonna start a freaking war!" Moises shouted.
Everyone slowly backs away from Moises "What are you talking about?"
"Now whoever took my wood better give it back because I'm not in the freaking mood for this shit!" Moises shouted as he pointed his sword at everyone.
"Moises! What's going on!?" Jun finally caught up to Moises and the rest.
"Someone stole my wood, a thief!" Moises explained to Jun.
"Nugget?" Jun asked.
"No! Why are you guys always blaming shit on me!?" Nugget yelled at everyone.
Jun tries to slowly back Moises away, but he pushes Jun.
"It took me, long to take down those trees," Moises says "Tell me! Now!! I will freaking start a war and I won't give a shit!" Moises yelled even louder.
Everyone was quiet and didn't say anything.
"You have a day to return those logs back to me" Moises turns back around and heads back to his house.
He quickly turns back around "Nugget.. where the fuck you live? I'm gonna search your place just in case"
"Just keep heading east" Nugget answered.
Moises pushes everyone out of the way and heads east for Nugget and 07's house.
Everyone was shocked by the actions of Moises.
"What happened?" Edison walks up to Jun "I think.. someone took his wood from his chest" Jun answered.
"He has to be joking," Jun said in his head.
"Everyone!" Jun shouted "Whoever took Moises's wood... give it now"
"I don't know," They all said.
"If I wanted wood, I would've just chopped a tree down," Chloe says.
"Yes, agreed," Everyone else says.
"I guess," Jun says "... anyways, let's just give you a tour, Lilly" Jun said as he led Lilly to the rest of the members.
"Guys, this is Lilly" Jun said.
"Hello"' says everyone.
"Here, try this" Max hands her a Sodizu, Izuzunu's traditional drink, the drink had a light pinkish color.
She takes a sip of it "Mmh.. wait.. this is actually good" She drinks more until it's all gone "Who made this drink!?" She asked.
"Yes, me," Jun said "I put a bit of squid ink in it"
NUGGET'S HOUSE
Moises opens the doors to Nugget and 07's house "He took it.. didn't he?" He talks to himself.
He began to loot Nugget's house trying to find all the wood Moises had.
"Not here" Moises stood up.
He walks around outside and tries to search for it. He thought maybe they used it for fire.
Nugget's house was on a very tall steep mountain almost close to the clouds. It'll make sense if they get cold at night and start a campfire by using Moises's Wood. No sign of it.
Moises began to trash up their entire house by throwing everything to the ground.
He throws the chests and flips them over. He spills all the water buckets and all the wood in the stove.
Moises finds a forest, but the trees are perfectly placed right next to each other in a straight line, there's no way nature would've done it. He thought maybe Nugget and 07 didn't take the wood and planted their own trees.
Moises decides to let it slide and climbs back down the steep mountain.
"I'll let them get away this time," He said.
IZUZUNU, MAINLAND
Back in Izuzunu, everyone was getting ready for bed. Lilly ends up spending the night at Jun's house in his second bedroom.
"Moises.." Jun says as he heads to bed.
All he could think about was Moises, worrying about his best friend "What has gotten into you?"
The next day Jun wakes up Lilly to join him in gathering materials for Izuzunu.
"I'll see you outside" Jun leaves the room.
Later she came out of the room. Jun leads her to a ladder that goes into the basement.
"I have more clothes in here if you want some" Jun climbs down.
Lilly does the same and goes down into the basement.
"Here, take this" Jun shows Lilly an armor made of leather.
"Thank you," She said as she put on the armor.
"Alright, get some weapons from the shelves and head outside" Jun climbs back up.
She grabs a wooden sword and a pickaxe made with stone and wood.
A few minutes later Jun and Lilly leave the house and run up to the rest of the members.
"Hey!" Jun greeted as he ran past everyone.
"Let's go" He shouted.
NUGGET AND 07'S HOUSE
Nugget and 07 are back at home, planting trees and just doing random stuff.
"He really did touch our shit," Nugget says to 07.
"Yeah," 07 replied.
Then a sound was heard in the distance. A very loud sound.
"What the heck!?" 07 shouted as the sounds got closer.
It sounded like a thunderstorm was heading their way! They're both high up in the mountains so it can reach them.
"BOOM!!" The lighting strikes their house.
Their roof is on fire!
"Uh.. 07.. I think the roof is on fire" Nugget points.
"The what!??" 07 got up immediately and ran outside to look at his roof burning.
"Stop the fire!!" 07 shouted.
Their house is made out of full wood and it might get burnt down if they don't stop the fire.
They grabbed a bucket of water and tried pouring it onto the fire. 07 smacked the fire with a cloth, trying to stop it from burning.
Another lighting struck and it nearly got caught onto their trees.
"We did not think about this, did we!??" Nugget shouted.
The thunderstorm was loud and the rain started pouring down, making the fire go out.
"That was close" 07 wipes his sweat.
"Um.. no.. now the water is leaking in" Nugget pointed.
07 turns around and sees the inside of the house is getting wet "Oh shit!"
They then heard a sound behind them "What was that!?" 07 quickly turned around to discover someone he knew.
"Oh? Xuanyu!! It's been a while!" 07 greeted Xuanyu.
"Oh hey! Funny seeing you here!" Xuanyu said back. Xuanyu is a human boy as well. All of them had stumbled upon each other the first day they woke up in Kepkury.
"Look! Nugget's here too!" 07 pointed.
"Xuanyu, haven't seen you in a while" Nugget smiled and shook his hands.
While they were all smiling at each other, they totally forgot about the building leaking water "Shit!"
"What!?" Xuanyu shouted.
"The house! It's leaking water!" 07 screamed out as Nugget and all of them ran towards the house.
MOISES'S HOUSE
"I plan on... starting a war," Moises says to a girl and a boy. The boy is a human and the girl is a druzel.
"Emily Kaum, Yusuke Fuji. Let's do this together" Moises smiled as he picks up his sword "Let's slaughter everyone and burn Izuzunu to the ground"
Emily quickly stood up and smiled "I guess we have nothing else to do"
Yusuke stood up and said "Yeah, I think we should invite that Jun guy though, since he's been your friend for the last two weeks you've been together"
"Yeah, and I think I have another person in mind," Moises says.
He was thinking of inviting Chloe to their team too.
"So... when will we kill everyone?" Emily and Yusuke asked.
Moises thought about it for a few seconds as he replied with an answer "Soon.... they will pay for pissing me off!"
