Konami was afraid as these two mysterious men were standing right before her. She looked behind them and saw more people with weapons.

Her grandfather also went up to see who it was until the spotlight shined on him when he got there.

"KONAMI, GO HIDE SOMEWHERE!! TELL EVERYONE TO STAY UPSTAIRS!"

She ran to her mother, who didn't understand what was happening.

"Father-in-law, what's going-"

She went out of the kitchen to see what was the matter and saw Sawashiki getting dragged out of the house. Izanami took Konami, and they both rushed to Yuri's room. Without hesitancy, she furiously unlocked the door.

"WHAAAAHH! Mom, what's going o-?"

"YURI CLOSE YOUR DOOR AND STAY QUIET WITH KONAMI!" Yuri stopped daydreaming.

In a panic, she and Konami hid under her bed as their mother watched from the window. Her heart couldn't stop racing as she saw how many bandits were outside. They beat Sawashiki half to death before her very eyes. Yuri didn't like being kept behind the suspense, so she rushed in to hug her mother. But when she looked out as well, her heart almost stopped.

Tedashii and Sasha made their way towards his house from the bottom of the mountain, singing his favorite song.

~Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmhmm.

"You love that song, do you?" She asked him.

"Huh, yeah. I think about the time we went to the arcade, but I I still can't forget that song."

He kept humming just before he heard the scream he would never expect to hear.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" It was Yuri who cried out so loud they heard it from there.

"What? Was that Yuri not so long ago?" Sasha asked.

"Oh no...YURI! KONAMI! MOM! IM COMING!"

Tedashii ran his heart to the top of the mountain, hoping he wasn't too late to save his family. Sasha didn't know what to do, so she returned to Meadow Town. Sawashiki, still gasping for air, one of the bandits held him up from the front of his shirt. He seemed more prominent than the others and the most violent. He had a mop-like hairstyle and an eyepatch. He also had a toothpick in his mouth that he took from Tedashii's food.

"Alright, you old fart. If you possibly cooperated, this wouldn't have happened to you!"

He said and looked towards the other bandit sitting by one of the trees.

"May I ask what we are even doing here, Motoroshi?"

It looks like that was his name. He had white hair and red eyes, just like Tedashii. Two other bandits were standing beside him. One had glasses, and the other had a stitched face. They all looked persuasive enough to be the boss of this invasion.

"Firstly, I don't think thrashing him was necessary, Chiampa. Secondly, we were here to take the boy and the girl. And thirdly, shatter his ribs, and let's go look inside."

This was his way of speaking and numbering his answers according to what was asked. Chiampa seemed to be the name of the semi-giant.

"He-he, that's what I like about you, Kid. You're kind and cruel at the same time. A perfect way to numb the emotions!"

Chiampa hoisted Sawashiki up in the air, high enough so he could hold out his sword on his landing spot.
