After Hikari finished her chores, there was a sound of the doorbell ringing. Slowly, she walked towards the door and lifted the peek hole cover. Looking through, Hikari was amazed that she saw an unknown gender person appeared at the door.

She slowly opened the door, and there stood the person who she can't identify its gender. The person's hair color was purple with highlights, and the length of its hair was close to its hip. Except, the minute it spoke to Hikari, it sounded like a man's voice.

"Hi, my name is Julius, and I hope you enjoy your time here. I heard someone new was moving into Harmonica Town, and I decided to drop by, but dam you look cuter in person than what they say at the office."

I asked," Are you a man or a woman?"

He replied, "I'm one-hundred percent a man, I just like to be fashionable."

He held my hand and gave me his business card." Wow, even your hands are small and thin. Oh, how wonderful! Oops, I must be talking too much that you didn't get to introduce yourself. What's your name?"

Hikari started to feel nauseous because his hands were touching hers. She quickly pulled her hand back and answered, "Hi, I'm... Hikari..."

Feeling shy, Hikari hid behind the door. Just then, a muscular Red-headed man appeared behind Julius.

"Julius, I've been looking all over for you, my..." he paused.

The red-headed man stopped, turned, stared at me and was shocked.

"Sorry for being rude my name is Owen, You must be the newcomer that everyone was talking about, welcome to harmonica Town if you ever need my help feel free to ask me, what's your name?"

Before Hikari could even answer, Julius cut Hikari off and said, "Her name is Hikari, and what brings you here today, Owen?"

Owen grabbed Julius by the shoulder, and they both walked away from Hikari's place. They were discussing their matter, which leaves Hikari in a state of confusion.

Hikari sighed and said, "This was very unexpected... I hope I don't bump into any more weirdos later..."

Hikari stepped out of her home and locked the door behind her. She walked towards Flute Field, where she met Craig, Ruth, and their two children Taylor and Anissa, at the Marimba Farm. Then, she went to Horn Ranch to meet and greet Cain, Hannah, and Renee. While she was walking to Garmon Mine District, her eyes followed to the sight of a familiar person. She rubbed her eyes, but the person was gone. She thought she was tired.

Upon her arrival at the Garmon Mine District, she went inside to the Carpenter's shop, where she met Dale, Bo, and Luke. Then, she went to the General Store, where she met Barbara, Simon, and their daughter Phoebe. Next, Hikari went to the Accessory Shop. She saw Julius and the owner, Mira.

Ah great, it's Julius darn it, she thought.

Once Hikari introduced herself and ended with a small conversation with Mira. She was given interesting information that Mira lost her husband years ago to a terrible accident. Hikari gave her condolence to Mira, hoping she feels better.

One last stop in the District, she met Ramsey and Chloe at the Blacksmith's shop. From there onwards, she went to Harmonica Town. When she went inside to Sonata Tailoring, she was caught in a surprise.

"Hi, you must be Hikari. There's finally a normal girl in this town, you will be my friend, won't you?" asked Luna.

Hikari felt pressured. She didn't know how to respond to this type of situation. The door had belled. A man with orange hair and purple eyes stood by the open door. He saw Hikari looking very uncomfortable with Luna. He looked at Luna and sighed.

"Luna, I need you to fix Maya's clothes by tomorrow," he said.

He threw the ripped dress at Luna.

"I'll come back and get it tomorrow, make sure the stitching is well-blended..."

He gave Hikari a stare before closing the door.

Luna mumbled," Geez, just when I finally met someone new..."

Luna rudely walked away from Hikari. Shelly came up and apologized to Hikari for Luna's behavior. Hikari told shelly that it was not a problem, and she has to leave now for other matters. Shelly told Hikari to take care of herself. Hikari exit the shop and ran off to meet other people. Night-time has fallen Hikari was exhausted. After introducing herself to every single person in Harmonica Town, she went to the Mayor's office to grab her welcome gift as a reward from the Mayor himself.

Hikari wanted to grab a drink at the Brass Bar as a sense of accomplishment of what she has done today. She went inside and was welcomed by Maya. Maya couldn't help but giggle that she was standing next to Hikari. To Maya, Hikari is a cute, mysterious, and quiet person. She couldn't help but stare at her in awe for the longest time. Maya showed Hikari to her seat. Hikari asked a recommendation of what's the best drink here. Maya suggested that Hikari should try a Raspberry Cocktail. So, Hikari decided to order it. Meanwhile, Kathy came out from the backroom and scolded Maya for taking over her role.

Maya argued," I only did it because you were too busy. you never praise me when I do good deeds."

Kathy exclaimed, " If I allow you to do it, you'll end up messing up, like what you did all the other times, you clumsy cake."

Maya and Kathy were both bickering at each other. Chase came out of his kitchen to see the commotion. Once he figures out what was happening, he scolded both of them to quiet down, as they were disturbing the customers. Maya turned, ran to Chase, and hugged him.

"Chase. Kathy being mean to me again." cried Maya.

Chase sighed, "Maya, can you for once not get in the way of somebody's work?" he snapped, "I'm getting sick and tired of you doing this all the time. You need to learn how to composure yourself."

Maya looked up at Chase," But Chase... all I wanted to do was help..." Chase grabbed Maya's arm off him.

He sighed and facepalmed, " Can you not hug me as if we are dating?"

Maya crossed her arms and pouted. Hikari sat afar, watching all three of them bickering. Hayden intervened and criticized every one of them. After the scolding, Chase glanced at Hikari's Direction, but to Hikari, she nervously redirected her eyes down to the ground. To Chase, he believed the new girl disliked him.

He sighed, " Girls these days..."

Chase heads back to the kitchen to work before Hayden scolds him again.

When Hikari finished her drinks, she paid and left tips on the table then walked her way back home. On her way home, she felt a throbbing sensation on her head and couldn't keep up her tired body.

She mumbled to herself, "I might have drunk a bit too much."

Her eyes blurred. She was close to reaching the door, but she ended up collapsing in front of her house, and soon her eyes slowly went into darkness.

Chase got off work and locked up the place, on his way home he saw what appears to be a human figure on the floor, he went closer and closer, then noticed Hikari was on the ground. To his dismay, he carried her back to his place and placed her on his bed.

What exactly did she drink, he thought.

He wanted to change her clothes, but to respect her privacy, he had to think of another option. It was already 1:00 AM, he had no choice, but to call Kathy. When Kathy arrived an hour later, she was shocked that Hikari passed out cold. Chase instructed Kathy to change Hikari's clothes while he makes some porridge as dinner. When Chase was done, he wanted to know how Hikari was doing. He walked, and then knocked on the door, Kathy unlocked the door so that Chase can come inside. Chase felt relieved that Hikari was doing fine.

"Not sure what happened, but take care of her," said Kathy.

Chase replied, "Thanks Kathy, you are a lifesaver I wouldn't dare touch her, she is a girl after all."

"You worry too much Chase, go get some rest, I'll see you at work tomorrow," replied Kathy.

It was 9 AM, Hikari slowly opened her eyes, her eyes wander around the room.

"Where am I?" she muttered.

Hikari heard a sizzling noise from the next room. She got up and exited Chase's bedroom. Hikari saw Chase cooking in the kitchen, and then she moved closer to Chase. When Chase turned off the stove, he turned around and yelled in fear.

"Holy Cow!" he exclaimed.

Hikari was caught in a surprise as well.

"Hikari, don't scare me like that," he said.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I just..." she stuttered.

Hikari couldn't find words to express herself. She felt guilty for scaring Chase.

Chase couldn't handle the awkwardness as well, so he grabbed a clean plate and a spatula to serve breakfast. Chase then walked towards Hikari with a plate of food with a utensil on his hand.

In a calming voice, Chase said, "You must be hungry, here."

Hikari extended her arms and hands to grab both the plate and utensil from Chase's hand. She could smell the alluring aroma coming from one small serving size. With her mouth-watering, she hopped away to the table, but she realized that she forgot to brush her teeth. She felt panicked, as much as she wanted to eat first, her hygiene is her priority. She didn't want Chase to think she's gross.

Hikari being shy, she asked, " You don't happen to have a spare toothbrush, do you?"

Chase stared at her and laughed.

"I do have a spare one." he chuckled.

Chase walked to the bathroom, and Hikari followed behind him. He pulled the drawers from his storage box and handed Hikari a toothbrush. He also provided Hikari a toothpaste.

In a happy tone, he said, "You can keep the toothbrush."

Chase walked out of the bathroom so Hikari can do her things. Once, he reached back to the kitchen. He heard a yell. He rushed to the bathroom and noticed Hikari was sitting on the floor, seeming pale.

"What happened, and are you okay?" he asked.

Hikari pointed at the Daddy Long Leg spider sitting by the sink. Chase burst out laughing. He couldn't hold it in any longer. Chase never met anyone as dramatic as Hikari. He helped Hikari get up and checked to see if any injuries were showing. Luckily, Hikari didn't sustain any injuries. Chase took his slipper off and wack the spider.

"See, it wasn't that bad," he grinned.

Hikari wasn't sure what wrong with her. Her heart was beating so fast she wasn't able to process her thoughts. Chase left the bathroom, Hikari closed the bathroom door, and proceed on to what she was doing.

A few minutes have passed. Hikari came out from the bathroom and walked to the kitchen, where she last placed her food. Chase set an orange juice directly near the plate. Hikari happily devoured the entire meal.

"Chase, are you a god of chef sent by the heavens? This was so good!" said Hikari.

A wide smile appeared on her face with sparkling eyes. It was the best food she had tasted since coming to Harmonica Town.

Chase looked at Hikari with a smile, "No, I'm just your average chef."

The two exchanged a long conversation until it hits 3 PM. Chase's impression of Hikari changed due to this encounter. Hikari, on the other hand, was quite pleased with Chase and his cooking.

Hikari thanked and waved Chase goodbyes and left his place.

She said, "I like this town more and more."

While Hikari walked happily back to her place, an unknown man appeared by the dock.

"So, this is Harmonica town... I can't wait to see her again," he chuckled.
