## Summary

Fushi is watching Iddy and Aiko play in the park when he suddenly feels someone’s pain. He looks down and finds Mizuha and tells her that she should get her injury checked out if it hurts that much. Mizuha turns to looks at him, and Fushi immediately recognizes her as a descendant of Hayase. Fushi looks at her intently and goes to examine her left arm while Mizuha looks on in confusion.

Out of the corner of her eye, Mizuha sees a group of girls from her school and immediately pushes Fushi away, asking him who he is and why he’s wearing such weird clothes. Fushi apologizes and says she reminds him of someone he once knew (referring to Kahaku). Fushi then asks Mizuha if she's happy in this world and Mizuha is taken aback by the question. She tries to leave, but Fushi asks her again.

Mizuha’s mother comes up behind her and answers Fushi, saying the world is so peaceful that it’s become dull to the point that there’s nothing to do. Mizuha asks her mom what’s she doing here and her mom explains she got a call from the school and that they are going to the hospital to check out Mizuha’s injury. Before they leave, Fushi tells her he’s happy if she's happy.

Later on at the Aoki home, Aiko asks Fushi who that girl he was talking to at the park was. Fushi says she is a descendant of an old friend and that he’s happy she’s doing well. Aiko then asks Fushi how old he is, but Fushi doesn’t know for sure. Yuki jumps in a says Fushi is roughly 800 years old and begins naming off titles Fushi been referred to in throughout history, such as The Guardian of Renril and Messenger of God.

Fushi asks if it is okay for him to bring his companions over to the house. Kazumitsu asks how many people he is planning on bringing this time and Fushi tells him two animals and six humans. Kazumitsu immediately tells him no. Fushi begins to explain that a long time ago, the world was dangerous and he fought his best to protect them. Now that the would is peaceful, they can all start living their lives without needing to fight. Fushi wants him and his friends to start their lives anew in this city and that even though it’s peaceful, peace is nothing without friends and asks if the family will help him. The children beg their grandfather to left Fushi bring his friends and Kazumitsu explains that they wouldn’t have enough room. Fushi offers to build on to the home and Kazumitsu relents (saying he'll trust his grandchildren) and allows Fushi to bring his friends to live with them.

Meanwhile, Mizuha is eating dinner with her family and her father asks how her leg is doing. Mizuha says the doctor told her it should feel better with some rest. Her father then says he heard that she might have a boyfriend now. Mizuha tries to explain to him about the boy she saw at the park, but her mom cuts her off and informs her they're moving next month.
