Now a young girl, during her travel in an unknown land, Arie suddenly went on ahead of her without a word. Himika tried to run after her only to see her sister fighting against a young Kuon who was trying to protect an amnesic man. The man would grant her a wish to stop both from fighting by freezing both Arie and Kuon. After the situation calms down, Kuon gives a tessen to an amnesic man, which makes him remember his name, Hakuowlo.

Himika quickly bonds with Hakuowlo, and after seeing Kuon calling him a father, she asks if she could call him papa as well, which Hakuowlo gladly accepted. She was left alone at their new home in the small village of Shishikuma when Arie took Hakuowlo and Kuon to the old ruin to reveal their connection to Uitsualnemetia.
