Year:X778 January , 5
Takeshi Haruka POV:
I..I'm home this was the place I was born and raised, the memories of grandma and the Shinohara family, were coming back to me.
I walked up towards the entrance of the village, I entered inside the village I vaguely remember the layout of the village.
It's been so long, since I seen the lake, the lake water is a beautiful sight to behold. I walked towards a clothing store, I needed to get some new clothes my clothes are so worn out and full of stained.
I was at the front entrance of the clothing store, I headed inside the store.
"Welcome in."
A shopkeeper welcomed me in as if I were a normal customer , despite my horrible clothes.
I took the time and look around the store, it was about 1,600 square feet , it was pretty much the biggest store here besides the grocery store, with a whopping 2,300 square feet.
I saw clothes that I met purchase on a rack, then I glanced at a mage like outfit on a armored stand.
It was vintage tailcoat frock coat outfits for men.Material: Polyester Details: Embroidered Patterned: Print Sheer: No Fabric: Non-Stretch Collar Style: Lapel Type: Funny Costumes Care Instructions: Machine wash or professional dry clean Composition: 95% Polyester,5% Spandex Weaving Method:Woven fit type: The color scheme is a Blue-Grey color.I also have matching pants.
I looked at the price tag.
-18,000 jewels
It will put my jewels 20,800 jewels, I think it's worth the price, then I will be able to go walk around being a mage. This will be useful for when I go to libraries and trading based stores.
I walked up to it and grab the tail coat, then made my way to the register, to purchase the item.
"I would like to purchase this clothes and could they be my size."
I asked the shopkeeper.
"Hmm are you sure you want to…"
They didn't get to finish because I instantly and rudely interrupted them.
"I have the money."
I pulled out 18,000 jewels from my shadow storage.
(Shadow storage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)

"Here's the money."
They looked confused as to where in hell did I get this much money or where the heck did the money come from.
"Okay young lad , I will be right back and change the clothes to your size."
10 minutes later-
The shopkeeper came back, with the clothes more fitting my size.
"Here you go young sir."
They said, handing me the clothes.
"Thanks."
I replied to the shopkeeper.
I made my way to a fitting room for me to change into these new clothes.
I then get dressed, I look over to a mirror and I look decent. Except for my face and shoes, maybe I should have bought some new shoes.
I then made my way out this time looking for shoes, then I looked over towards a shoe rack, the one that caught my eyes were stone tread boots.
They contain Sturdy leather boots with soles made from ground-down river stones and reinforced with iron plating.
They costed 800 jewels, which was worth the price.I went over to them and picked them up and made my way back to the register.
"I would like these please."
I replied.
"Okay and thanks for shopping with us."
The shopkeeper says, as I walked away
"Thank you so much."
I replied as I left the shop.

My stomach was growling, I guess a proper meal wouldn't hurt me.
I made my way to a restaurant that sells fish based meals. I went in and hovered over the menu.
I order two grilled fish with a side of rice and a water cup.
15 minutes later-
•sniff
The food smells delicious, I can't wait to eat.
I grab the wooden chopsticks then dig in.
"Itadakimasu!"

Soooo goood.
5 minutes later-
I finished eating the delicious meal, it's been sooo long since a proper food has been put in my system.
I looked over the bill was 800 jewels , I pay the fee and then left the restaurant.
Now then I made my way towards the flower shop, I needed to buy 9 singular of flowers.
I was inside the flower shop, instantly my nose was tickled by the aroma of flowers. I went over to a red rose, there was . I picked up 4 of them, made my way towards the white yuri flower and picked one.
I made my way towards the blue flowers and picked up 2 blue flowers, I then made my way towards the tulip flower then picked one up.
I made my way to the florist,then say
"I would like to purchase these flowers please."
"Hmm I feel like I have seen you before."
She says, then continues with a professional, approach.
"Welp no matter , that will be 2,500 jewels."
I now have 16,700 jewels I need to find a way to make money.
I then left the flower shop and then headed towards the cemetery.
8 minutes later-
I arrived at the cemetery with the flowers,
I than placed down flowers on 4 different gravestone.
1.) Takao Haruka-Blue flower with a flower pot inside
2.)Hana Haruka-Tulip flower with a flower pot inside, they were grandma's favorite
3.) Take Haruka. Blue flower with a flower pot inside
4.)Emi Kumagi.-Yuri flower with a flower pot inside
"Takao Haruka and Take Haruka, although I never knew you two, I know your somewhere out there looking out for me."
"Emi Kumagi, a woman who give birth to a son, who will always cherish your sacrifice for bringing him into this world."
"Hana Haruka , a woman who always cherish the people she loves the most in the whole wide world."
"Thank you the Haruka family for being with me in spirit."
I could feel tears streaming down my face.It's been a while since I have shed any tears.

I then walked away where there was free space.
I casted two earthwall: then I casted two watercutting spells, I used the water cutting spell to cut the two earth walls in half horizontally making near perfect cuts.
(Water Cutting: Use water to slice enemies.)
(Earth wall- The technique is a earth well technique that could protect/shield the user.)
I then picked up a nearby rock and craved 4 new names on each cut earthwalls.
1.)Gorou- red rose with a flower pot
2.) Madoka-red rose with a flower pot
3.) Nao- red rose with a flower pot
4.) Hideki- red rose with a flower pot
" I'm sorry for not being strong enough to save you guys, at that time."
" I wasn't strong enough then, I'm not strong enough now."
"HOWEVER I WILL AVENGE YOU ALL."
"So please give me more time so, lend me your courage and your strength and most of all your dyingwills.

I clapped my hands together, and say one final prayer.
" Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."

15 minutes later-
It took awhile for me to finally stop crying the memories I had here were, memorable to me, even in the orphanage , it was a symbol that I was a child and still am.
After all I'm only 12 years old, it feels like my life had existed more then it should have.
I needed to find a place to sleep, I could check the orphanage,but my brain will still remember the mental stress of being there.
I could go to the Shinohara family for the night, however they must have heard the unfortunate news of the orphanage incident.
I might look like a ghost to them, maybe some other time I could visit, just not sure now would be ideal.
I made my way towards a inn, the rooms will be about 80 square feet. That will be just enough for a small bed and a small bathroom.
I walked up to the register and asked.
"How much for the night?"
The front register says.
"One night only is 150 jewels and a 1 whole day is 300 jewels."
I reached out of my shadowstorage, and pulled out exactly 150 jewels.
(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
"Here you go."
I say as I handed over the 150 jewels.
"Thank you for staying at our inn, here's your room key."
The front attendant said as they handed me the keys to the room.
Room#13
Five minutes later-
I was inside the room it was nice and cozy.
I walk up to the bathroom, I immediately remove my clothes, I started the shower then stepped inside.
15 minutes later-
I finished my shower, I never felt so clean before , we were unfortunate enough to never allowed a proper shower , at the most they would just dump a bucket over our heads.
I walk up to the mirror and used water to clean my teeth, I didn't have a toothbrush or toothpaste , so this will do for now. They would give us a used toothbrush from who knows where, I never use it, I would just use the water to floss my teeth as best as I could.
I then noticed my physical appearance for the first time, my hair was up to my shoulders, then made water like scissors to trim my hair down to my
I walked out of the bathroom, I looked over at the small bed, I walked up to it then proceeded to crawl into the bed.
I was laying down on the soft mattress, it feels nice.

It's morning already ,I was asleep for 10 hours, I woke to the best possible sleep I could have awoken from.
I got up and proceeded to get dressed into my new clothes, but before I did I went over to pick up my new clothes and underwear to clean them up.
15 minutes later-
I finally finished cleaning my clothes, I instantly put them on, I then went over to put on my new shoes.
Although I didn't have sock wear, I have been used to be barefoot, maybe some other time I could purchase them.
Anyway of to go great the Shinohara family they probably, still live in same spot.
10 minutes later-
I was at the Shinohara family household , I walked towards the front entrance and proceeded to knock on the door.

"Hello can I help you…"
In that moment Mrs Shinohara some how was able to recognize me.
"T.Takeshi H.Haruka!"
Mrs Shinohara said my name with tears streaming down her face.
Instantly Mrs Shinohara tackles me into a bear hug.
I did the same as I felt a soft warm touch, It's the first hug since the small funeral we had for grandma
I couldn't help , but cry as well.
10 minutes later-
After the small and warm welcoming from Mrs Shinohara, I was meet with the Shinohara family. I explained my tragedy, not just mine, but the others misfortune as well, I didn't mention how I escaped or what I did to escape, they've probably somewhat concluded what I did.
" What misfortune events that you have experienced."
Mr.Shinohara says with a grim expression.
"H..how awful, such disgusting creatures."
Yuichi Shinohara says who I haven't seen is now a full fledged adult(21).
"T..thats horrible."
Yoshito Shinohara says,who is actually a village guard in trainee(is 17).
Mrs.Shinohara then says.

I chimed with.
" If that's alright with the Shinohara household."
Mrs Shinohara then responds by.

"Yoshito can you show Takeshi where he will be staying.
Yoshito then responds to Mr.Shinohara the asked me to follow.
"Okay, follow me."
I followed him to the room I will be staying in.
"Here you can stay here, I'll let you get comfortable."
Yoshito said.
"Thank you."
I replied.
Yoshito nodded, then proceeded to leave, leaving me to my thoughts.
I scanned the room, it was clean no one really stayed here.
This is as close I'm getting to a home.
