How They Met

"Talk"

'Thought'

"Come on Zenkichi-Kun, we're almost there!~"

In the middle of a forest, around the middle of the afternoon, two certain children could be seen walking through the area with varying degrees of eagerness and emotion; the young girl with short blue hair and wearing a pretty dress appeared to be the most eager and excited about this entire adventure she was embarking upon. She was known as Medaka Kurokami, and she just wore a bright smile throughout this entire experience.

"Why do you always do this Medaka-Chan, don't you realize how worried you'll make our family by doing this?..."

However, unlike the optimism of Kurokami, there was a young boy with blondish hair and who wore a yellow shirt and shorts; he expressed the exact opposite feelings about all this - less eagerness and extreme frustration - and he was known as Zenkichi Hitoyoshi. He was frowning and whining about all this.

"No need to worry, I left a note, it will all be fine~"

Medaka still expressed her unconcerned and joyful attitude towards all this, which caused Hitoyoshi to groan in annoyance at her.

"Like that's gonna help..."

Zenkichi sighed in defeat once he realized that there was no point in arguing with her, though he would still be unhappy about it nonetheless.

'Always headstrong and determined, never taking no as an answer and not knowing when to call it quits, it is such a bother whenever she does things like this... Then again, we wouldn't be friends if she wasn't like this...'

Despite all the troubles and problems that Zenkichi was usually forced to be a part of, he couldn't help but grinned lightly to himself, no doubt deeply caring for someone like Kurokami, despite what he had been through

"Where are we going anyway, Medaka-Chan?"

"Well, you see Zenkichi-Kun, what I have discovered was something quite lov-"

Just as Medaka was about to answer and explain to Zenkichi what she had found, she immediately cut herself off and stopped completely, which accidentally caused Hitoyoshi to bump into her, much to his confusion.

"Huh? What are you doing? What's going on?"

Zenkichi rounded Kurokami and looked at her to see what she was doing; she just kept walking forward with a shocked, wide-eyed expression of awe.

"Oh my..."

All Medaka had to say was that, which did not help Hitoyoshi to understand the situation and decide to look at what she was looking at and see what got her so worked up.

"W-WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!"

Zenkichi looked extremely shocked and horrified when he saw a certain Draconequus, a creature made from different parts of various animals, at the center of a field of beautiful flowers. The creature was currently in the middle of using some kind of power, which increased Hitoyoshi's already-upsetting feelings, to summon multiple hammers or jackhammers, which it used on itself for some reason. Luckily, it seemed distracted and didn't notice them at all, which did make the young blonde boy feel some relief.

"O-Ok Medaka-Chan, let's back away s-slowly and-"

Zenkichi tried to reach out and grab onto Kurokami, so that he could take her away to safety; however, after realizing he was grabbing nothing but air, he immediately realized and saw that the young girl was gone, causing him to panic even more.

"DANG IT!"

Meanwhile, back with the patchwork of animals, he was currently still using a lot of hammers and jackhammers on himself, which was working very violently on his body, though judging from his very annoyed and angry expression, it seemed as if no progress had been made at all.
