The Inkinators got out of the building and arrived to the main plaza: there are more young Inklings around than before and they seem all going near the Turf War Station.
"Guys! Look over there!" Bars pointed to the crowd.
"More like, look at the Turf War Station: it's closed!" Grina said.
"Probably a consequence of yesterday…" Mirii adds.
"And… that's a bad thing, right?" Hun asked.
"Of course it's, bub! This forest can't live without the famous games!" Fara explained.
"… interesting…" Mirii said, turning towards Fara. "You know the Turf Wars?"
"Well… yeah! We know them! Why that question…?" Fara tilts her head a bit to the right.
"Because I found that hard to believe!" Mirii points her finger to her.
"H-huh?!" Fara got surprised by that.
"W-what's going on, now…?" Hun got a little worried.
"I read an article about Inklings living in farms: they don't know Turf Wars or even the oldest technology. Now… how would a farmer girl of your age know anything about them?!"
Fara reacted… by puffing a bit her cheeks and looking at Mirii in a serious way.
"… so you're a Technie, huh." Fara said.
"A what?" Mirii asked a bit confused.
"Dontcha try lyin' to me big gal: you hate us Farmies, right?!" Fara goes in front of Hun, like she was protecting him.
"H-hey! What kind of nonsense are you saying?! What's even a Technie?" Mirii said.
"That's a good question! What's a Technie, Fara?" Hun asked.
"Technies are just meanies, big bro! They call us ignorant and beef-headed, because we don't use technology at all and we don't care about their famous games." Fara explained.
"What-a? Y-you don't care about the Turf Wars?!" Bars asked in shock.
"Yep. My friends, my parents and even Hun doesn't care about them in the least! I could hollerin' about it, if ya wan"
"Wait, stop!" Hun said while covering Fara's mouth. "I-I don't think that this's a good idea, Fara…"
"Oh yeah?! Someone has to do it! Those Technies really need a lesson or two!" Fara said.
"B-but why? Those games you were talking about, aren't actually that bad you know…"
Fara looks at Hun with a shocked expression.
"Ya… like them?!" Fara asked surprised.
"Yes! They are fun, Fara! You should try playing one!" Hun said without noticing Fara's expression.
She stood there looking at her brother, without knowing what to say… however, it seems that Grina got an idea judging by her expression.
"Oh, Hunryyyy…!" Grina calls him.
"Uh… y-yeah?"
"Why don't you go visit our wonderful city with your adorable little sister?" Grina asked while moving both hands united back and forth.
"Eh?! No! I want to help you guys!" Hun replied.
"Come on now little Hunry… I can see it in your eyes! You REALLY want to do that." Grina insists.
"At all! I can't stand the idea of not doing anything for my friends!"
"But how can you lie to us…? That wish of yours is too strong to cover!"
"What are you talking about?! I don't have any wishes now!" Hun was getting impatient.
"But that wish shouts so much how you don't want to visit the city with your sister!"
"That's stupid! I DO want to visit the city with Fara!"
"P-please, consider it Hunry… w-we really want you to not visit the city…"
"I SAID I WANT!"
"Hunry… you're not even thinking about it!"
"UUUUHHH!" Hun was getting mad. "Would you stop this, Grina?! I want to visit the city! I really REALLY want it to and you're not going to stop me doing so!"
He took Fara by her left hand and walks away nervously with his sister.
"Sheesh! That girl can sure be annoying!" Hun commented.
"Uhm… big bro?" Fara asked.
"Now what?!"
"Well… where we start visitin' the city?"
"Oh, good question! Hmmm… we could go this way, maybe? I didn't really get in"
Suddenly Hun stops talking: he was immobile as a statue.
"Eh eh, it looks like ya finally see it." Fara said giggling a bit.
Hun rushed back, getting in the same place where his friends were. Once he got there, he wasn't able to find them anywhere.
"… oops…"
"Yep, they are gone now… talk about great luck!" Fara said with a smile.
"L-luck? This isn't funny, Fara! Th-they don't want me to help them!"
"Really? I thought there was a better reason, ya know…"
"Which is…?"
"To let us stay together a bit more!"
"Huh?!"
"Yeah, I mean… ya did miss me in those days, right?"
"… yes… a lot."
"So this is our chance, Hun! And what better way than visitin' this forest? I'm so excited to do this with ya, big bro! We never got to visit somethin' new before, ya know!"
Hun looks at Fara: he seems to remember something. After a while, he smiled.
"Well… why not?" Hun agrees while scratching the back of his head.
"Yee-haw! Then let's get started!" Fara jumps from joy.
"All right! So… uhm… where we should go first?"
"Those shops over there!" Fara points towards the Booyah Base shops.
"Oh, them? Uhm… which one?"
"Ya know, I really wanted a nice new hat sooo…" Fara looks around. "Let's start from that shop first!"
"Ok. It's fine by me!" Hun said with a wink, while showing his teeths.
Fara took Hun's hand and both run toward the Cooler Heads shop.
"Whoa, whoa! Slow down, sis!"
Fara was having fun in that moment and eventually, even Hun was having fun while running with his sister. Both the siblings got near the shop entrance, slowing down and admiring his decorations.
"Ooooh… it looks so pretty!" Fara commented.
"Huh… not bad, I must say."
Fara enters the shop followed by her brother.
"Hi everyone!" Fara shouts in the room.
"F-Fara! That wasn't something very"
"H-Hunechno …!"
Hun looks ahead, seeing a familiar figure…
"… Annie?!"
Annie smiled while fixing her glasses a bit.
"Yo Squid!" Moe greets Hun. "YE'RE BACK WITH US!"
"Yikes! H-hi Moe…!" Hun said after a jumpscare.
"Uh? Who are those people, big bro?" Fara asked curious.
"Friends! We meet yesterday… you know, after all that ruckus happened to me?"
"Really?! Then, they are my pardners too. I'm Fara, Hun's little sister!" She tenders her hand towards Annie.
Annie took Fara's hand and shakes it.
"Hi… I'm Annie…" She said with a smile.
"And this's Moe, little Squid! THE FRESHEST OF THEM ALL!"
"Ih ih, what a cute little fish!" Fara commented to Moe.
Moe blushes a bit.
"Hey, small child. THAT WAS UNECESSARY!"
Annie giggles a bit.
"So… how things are going… Hunechno?" She asked, but she got surprised by seeing Hun's bandages. "Oh… y-your arm…"
"Ah, It's fine now!" Hun moves his right arm a bit. "Now I can become a… aaa… wait, how this form is called again…?"
"You can call it… non-Squid, I guess… I don't think others ever wondered too much about it…" Annie replied.
"Oh thanks! Right, I can become a non-Squid without feeling any pain on my arm!" Hun explained. "Come to think of it… I don't think it hurts as much as before!"
"Y-ya got hurt to the arm big bro?!" Fara asked worried.
"That happened yesterday. After they threw me out, I got hurt on it from the impact. I tried becoming my non-Squid self, but I got so much pain that I was forced to stay a squid." Hun explained.
"Oh, poor bud…! It's a good thin' you recovered from it!"
"You can say that again! However, I'm so sorry for the mess I made yesterday, Annie…" Hun apologizes while scratching the back of his head.
"T-that's fine, really…" Annie said.
"My favorite lamp isn't. BRING US YER CASH!" Moe complained.
"Moe…!"
"Ha ha ha, take it easy buddy! STRIKING JOKES!"
"Eh eh eh… I-I didn't really get upset o-or anything." Hun said, still scared of Moe.
"So… what can I do for you…?" Annie asked, holding both her hands and smiling.
"What you can do for me…? What do you mean?" Hun asked confused.
"I think she's the shopkeeper big bro." Fara answered.
"Y-yes, your little sister is correct… I own this shop. You can buy a-any headgears y-you want…"
"YA BETTER BUY SOMETHIN' QUICK! Moe wants his friend staying fresh."
"… what's a headgear?" Hun wonders the significance of that word.
"A fancier way to say cap, big bro!" Fara explains and then talks to Annie. "Sorry if Hun seems a bit too beef-headed…"
"Actually… we knew he didn't know many things…" Annie said.
"He didn't even know what I mean' with "Stay fresh"! NOW THAT'S SOMETHIN'!"
"It's not just that! My bud is not good with words… and he often confuses them! Or worse, he may even forget them!" Fara explains in details.
"Oh… I'd never expect this from Hunechno…"
"Bad news, Squid. YA CAN'T FORGET THE FRESHNESS!"
"Oh… and with freshness you mean not sweating, right?!" Hun said a bit insecure.
No one said anything for a while…
"… dafish?! IGNORANT ALERT!"
"Moe, please…"
"Oops! BEING CARRIED AWAY!"
"Anyway… now, do you know what a headgear is… H-Hunechno?" Annie asked.
Hun nods proudly.
"Then, I choose this one!" Fara quickly shows up, while holding a Safari Hat.
"Oh, the Safari Hat…! That would be 2300 coins."
"2300?! Uhm…" Hun checks his small but old bag, where all the coins are kept. "… i-it's a bit too much, actually."
"… that's ok, you can have it." Annie said with a smile.
"Whaaa? Annie! WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"Don't worry, Moe… it's alright. He's not in the condition to pay this…"
"Uuuh… that's wrong, Annie." Hun got a bit shocked. "I have to pay it in some way or another!"
"B-but you don't have any money now…"
"Oh, I know!" Hun hits his left open hand with his right fist. "I can work here for the whole day!"
"… no, Hunechno. You don't deserve it…"
"What-a?! I don't deserve it? I-I don't understand this…"
"I believe this's a friendship act, ya know… she wants to help you!" Fara explained.
"Help me…? I didn't need any help!"
"I-I wish I could give you something else… e-even for free." Annie said.
"Why? I don't understand…! This act of generosity seems a little fishy to me."
"Yo Hunkster! YA DIDN'T NOTICE YET?!"
"… oh no… a-an act of too much appreciations?!"
"Gnek! WRONG ANSWER AHOY!" Moe shouts, scaring Hun a bit.
"Actually… I'm helping with your look… i-it's not really fresh…"
"… a-and that's a bad thing?" Hun asked a bit embarrassed.
"Shock news, folks! HUNKSTER LIKES BEING A LOSER!"
"M-Moe, now… that wasn't very nice…"
"Sorry Annie. BUSTIN' APOLOGIZES!"
"Hunechno… y-your look isn't really in the tone of the city… I-I fear other Inklings would pick on you, if you d-don't get at least one fresh headgear…"
Hun looks around a bit unsure.
"Urgh… d-do I really have to?" Hun was really regretting this.
