On September 6, 1986, in Levytatia Village, around 03.00 p.m. ...

Lyos is walking around in the village.

"I'm bored of playing with my bodyguards .... I asked Mr. Andark to just leave the house. I want to find new friends in this village," Lyos spoke in thought.

When he reached a field, he found some kids throwing a ball to each other. Lyos seems happy to see them, so he approaches them.

There are an 8-years old boy with normal black hair, an 8-years old boy with green hair, a 9-years old boy with blue hair and an 8-years old boy with brown hair.

"Hi, guys!" Lyos greeted them with a smile.

"Huh? Who are you?" the green hair boy asked.

"My name is Lyos!" Lyos replied.

The four of them are shocked upon hearing Lyos' name.

"O- okay. You wanna play with us?" the green hair boy asked again.

"Yeah," Lyos replied.

"Okay, but you can only play with us for 15 minutes," the brown hair boy said.

"... Why?" Lyos asked with a sad face.

"That's the rules for you. This is for our sake, and for your sake too," the blue hair boy said.

"... Fine," Lyos agreed.

Despite the rules, Lyos can join them for throwing ball game. They are sidestepping while throwing the ball, so the ball could be a bit harder to catch and give them more fun.

After 15 minutes ...

"It's already past 15 minutes. Goodbye, Lyos," the black hair boy said.

"Huh? Yeah, goodbye ..." Lyos replied with a sad face.

The four of them are leaving while carrying the ball.

"He ruined our enjoyment, isn't he ...?" the blue hair boy said with low voice.

"Quiet ...! He can hear you ...!" the green hair boy said with low voice.

After seeing them leaving, Lyos seens sad and looking down. He leaves the field with a sad face.

After walking around for a while, he found another field in the village. It's a field with two swings in the middle of it.

He saw a 9-years old boy with yellow hair, a 9-years old girl with brown pigtail hair, an 8-years old boy with silver hair, an 8-years old girl with short cyan hair and an 8-years old girl with long black hair.

The five of them are playing jump rope. The short cyan hair girl is currently jumping over the rope. The other four are watching her. Lyos is approaching them.

"Hi, everyone!" Lyos greeted them with a smile.

The five of them hear Lyos' words and turn to Lyos. The short cyan hair girl stopped jumping.

"Can I join you?"

"... Sure. But you must wait for your turn," the long black hair girl said.

"Wait until I finished jumping!" the short cyan hair girl said.

"After she finished, it's my turn!" the yellow hair boy said.

"After he finished, it's my turn!" the silver hair boy said.

"Then it's my turn!" the brown pigtail hair girl said.

"I'm next! You're a newcomer, so you will be the last, okay?" the long black hair girl said.

"*chuckle* Fine. How many times do we have to jump?" Lyos said.

"20 times! And we must count it by ourselves! But, if we trip over the rope, we can't continue jumping and we should hand over the rope to the next player! Because of you coming here, I have to start over again! It should be easier this time!" the short cyan hair girl said.

The short cyan hair girl is swinging the rope and jumping on it. Every time she jumped successfully, she counted it by herself. She could jump for 6 times, but when she tried the seventh attempt, she tripped over the rope.

"You're too cocky!" Lyos said with a smile.

She gives the rope to the yellow hair boy. He could jump for 2 times before he tripped over the rope.

"Aww, you're sucks!" the long black hair girl said.

The next one is the silver hair boy, who could successfully jump for 20 times.

"Not bad!" the short cyan hair girl said with a smile.

The brown pigtail hair girl could only jump for 13 times.

"C'mon .... You're almost there!" the silver hair boy said.

The long black hair girl could jump for 20 times successfully.

"Let me jump again for 10 times!" the long black hair girl said with a smile.

"Huh? Are you serious?" Lyos said with a smile.

"Don't get too cocky!" the yellow hair boy said with a smile.

"Just watch!" the long black hair girl said with a smile.

She could jump again for 10 times. The other kids are amazed.

"That's cool!" Lyos said with a smile.

"C'mon, it's your turn, newcomer," the long black hair girl said with a smile.

Lyos takes the rope and start jumping. He could successfully jump for 20 times.

"Not bad, newcomer!" the silver hair boy said with a smile.

"Do you still want to jump?" the long black hair girl said with a smile.

"No, I'm done," Lyos said.

"What's your name?" the short cyan hair girl said with a smile.

Lyos remained silent for a while.

"I am ... Lyos ..."

"Lyos?" the short cyan hair girl said.

The brown pigtail girl is shocked.

"Are you ... Lyos Bimasaktyo ...? The Fire Bothyner Prodigy ...?" the brown pigtail hair girl asked.

"... Yes ..." Lyos replied.

The five children are shocked.

"Guys .... You know the rules, right ...?" the yellow hair boy said.

"...But ... I'm curious about him ..." the short cyan hair girl said.

"It's okay. Let's give him a little more time. Try to jump on the rope again for 20 times, Lyos. We're counting together," the long black hair girl said.

"Oh ... okay," Lyos said.

Everytime Lyos jumped on the rope, all of them are counting together. In the end, Lyos could jump for 20 times successfully. The five children give applause Lyos.

"Let's leave ... everyone ..." the silver hair boy said.

"No, I still want to talk to him," the short cyan hair girl said.

"Just go ..." the brown pigtail hair girl said.

The brown pigtail hair girl is holding the short cyan hair girl's body with her hands. The five children are leaving Lyos behind.

"No! Release me! It's okay!! He won't kill us!!!" the short cyan hair girl said.

Lyos is looking down and shedding tears.

A few moments later, Lyos meets Clara in her room while she is sewing clothes. He tells her about what happened to him earlier. It made her shocked.

"... Are you serious ...?" Clara asked.

"... Yeah .... And actually ... I have experienced it before in Gryllia Village ..." Lyos replied.

"... So ... this village have applied that kind of rule too .... But ... it's understandable, Lyos .... The emotions of most children are unstable .... That's why they afraid to make you angry ..." Clara explained.

"No ...! I think they're just too afraid ...!" Lyos seems annoyed.

"... It's okay, Lyos .... All of this will be over when you have grown up ..." Clara said it while holding Lyos' right shoulder with her right hand.

"No, Mom! All I want is to become an ordinary kid!! Why should I become a Bothyner Prodigy!?" Lyos said it while crying.

Clara hugs Lyos.

"Calm down .... You don't want to destroy this house, right ...?"

"... Right ... Mom ..."

Clara keeps hugging her son for a while.

On September 7, 1986, in one of the houses in Levytatia Village, around 07.00 a.m. ...

In a bedroom, there is a 31-years old woman with long blue hair. She has bangs that are hanging over her eyes. Her right bang is swept behind her right ear, so her right ear and her silver stud earring on her right earlobe is visible. She wears a light blue hairpin on her right bang to make it swept behind her right ear.

The woman stands in front of a mirror. She wears a white t-shirt and blue jean pants. She is about to wear a red shirt.

Suddenly, there is an 8-years old girl entering the bedroom through the room door. She has short black hair with blue color on the corners of the hair. She wears a pink t-shirt and a red skirt.

"Mom ..." the girl called.

"Yes?" the long blue hair woman replied.

"Do you want to go somewhere? Can I go with you?" the girl asked.

"*sigh* Come on, Garuvy .... You always hanging out with me for years .... You don't even want to play with your classmates .... I told you before that now is your time to find a close friend. Aren't you bored for always going out with your mom?" Garuvy's mother felt annoyed.

"But, Mom ... I want to protect you forever ..." Garuvy said.

"Yeah .... Thank you for your protection, but I don't need it right now! Now go out and find a friend! Today is your holiday because your teachers are in a meeting. This is your chance to go out! But ... if you resist ..."

The woman approaches her daughter. She touches Garuvy's right earlobe with the thumb and the index finger of her left hand. She rubs it with the thumb of her left hand.

"You have a nice earlobe here .... I can pierce it for you to make it prettier," Garuvy's mother said it while smiling.

"No!" Garuvy seems annoyed.

"*chuckle* Why? Most girls are pleased for having ear piercings, especially for the first time."

"Yeah, but not me! It's not because I'm afraid of needle! I'm already pretty without that!" Garuvy explained.

"*chuckle* It's alright, Garuvy. There are many girls and womans like you in the world. But, since you don't want it, piercing your ears will be a punishment for you if you don't find a friend. Got it?"

"*sigh* Fine! I'll go out right now!"

Garuvy leaves the room with angry face.

"*chuckle* She's so afraid of ear piercings, don't she?" Garuvy's mother said.

In the living room, there is a 31-years old man sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper. He has normal black hair. He wears a white shirt with long sleeves, a black tie, a brown suit and a brown trouser. He also wears a brown bowler hat.

While he is still reading the newspaper, he saw his daughter walking in front of him.

"Garuvy!" he called his daughter.

"Sorry, Dad! I want to go out right now!" Garuvy said.

She is still walking. She goes out of the house through the front door.

"She really wanted to go out, huh?" the man spoke in thought.

After that, Garuvy's mother appeared in the living room.

"Hey, Krona!" Garuvy's father said.

"What is it, Thomas?" Garuvy's mother said.

"What happened to Garuvy?"

"Well, I just forced her to find a friend outside."

"It's unusual to see her so determined to go out like that .... How did you force her?"

"Lately, I asked her to pierce her ears, but she refused. It seems like she doesn't like ear piercings, so I threatened her to pierce her ears if she can't find a friend."

"Oh, you're so cruel *chuckle*," Thomas is teasing her wife.

"That's for her sake, you know. I can't let her get too attached to me."

"Well .... She is so attached to you, right? Therefore, I told her to protect you forever, but it seems like she overdid it ...."

"Yeah! I don't know why she act like that .... It's strange, isn't it?"

"Yeah .... It's because she has "gravity interaction"."

"Gravity ... interaction ...?" Krona confused.

"Yeah .... At first, it was just my assumption, but it seems like I was right. My assumption is ... when Garuvy is interested with you, she will try so hard to get close to you. She acts like gravity that keeps trying to pull you."

"What? That sounds strange .... Is there anyone else who has the same kind of interaction?"

"There isn't any. This is a very rare case, but I do believe in my assumption! Her Gravity Bothyner affects her mind to create "gravity interaction". Her "gravity interaction" made her so attached to you. It also made her having difficulty to be interested with any other people. That's because she doesn't want to pull someone who she wasn't familiar with. Her "gravity interaction" is only in one direction."

"... So that's why she can't find a friemd? What about you? She is already familiar with you, so she should be attached to you too."

"Ah, yes .... She didn't hesitate to talk to me, but ... she talked to you more often. Therefore, I think her "gravity interaction" is in two directions. However, the direction towards me is only in half concentration. The direction towards you is in full concentration. Maybe she can't create other directions because her willpower is still weak."

"I see ... but ...  even though she is so attached to me, I could make her stay away from me by forcing her with something."

"Yes .... It seems like she could be forced to stay away by threatening her with something that she doesn't like. With that, she can have a chance to create more directions of her "gravity interaction". More directions mean more friends.

"Yeah ... I hope so .... Now let's get going, Thomas. We talked too much."

"Yes ... Let's get into the car."

Meanwhile, Garuvy is walking around the village. When she reached a field, she found some children playing a running race. She watches the children for a while, and then she left without trying to get to know them.

Garuvy found a volleyball court. She saw some children playing volleyball in there. She had already taken one step towards approaching them, but she felt embarrassed again. In the end, she left the volleyball court too quickly.

Garuvy found another field in the village. She saw 3 boys and 3 girls. Two of them are playing jump rope. The other children are watching the two. Garuvy is also watching them.

One of the girls noticed Garuvy's presence. She waved at Garuvy

"Heeeey!! You wanna join us!?" the girl said.

Garuvy is surprised. Instead of feeling excited, she felt embarrassed.

"C'moooon!! Come here!!" one of the boys convinced Garuvy.

She is so nervous she doesn't know what to say. She ran quickly to leave the field.

"Huh? What's wrong with her?" one of the boys is confused.

Garuvy ran away with an embarrassed face. While she is running ...

"It's useless! I can't do it! I want to be with my mom!" Garuvy spoke in thought.

When she reached her house, she tries to open the front door. She then realized that the door was locked.

"Ah .... Mom is already gone ..." Garuvy spoke in thought.

Garuvy sits on the front yard terrace. She is leaning against the front door.

"I'm alone .... I can't find a single friend to play with ..." Garuvy spoke in thought.

Garuvy is touching her earlobes with the thumb and the index finger of her hands.

"This is bad .... There will be a hole in my earlobes soon ..." Garuvy spoke in thought.

After a few minutes, she releases the thumb and the index finger of her hands from her earlobes.

"No! She won't do that right away! She will give me a few days to try again! I hope ... I hope she will give me another chance ..." Garuvy spoke in thought.

Garuvy looks up at the sky.

"... How should ... I find a close friend ...?" Garuvy spoke in thought.

Around 11.00 a.m., a white Honda Civic Wonder SB3 car is coming to the house. The car was driven by Krona. She puts the car in the garage of the house.

After a few minutes, she came out of the garage and walks towards the front yard terrace. She saw her daughter sleeping in front of the front door. She approaches Garuvy and shakes Garuvy's left shoulder with her right hand.

"Garuvy ..." Krona called her daughter.

Garuvy slowly opened her eyes.

"... Mom ...?" Garuvy said.

"You're home already? Are you tired?" Krona asked.

"... Yeah ..." Garuvy replied.

"You must have met new friends, right? Now tell me .... Who are your new friends?"

Garuvy is panicked after hearing her mother's question.
