Anka bird Helianthus gave humans the elements of fire, water, earth, and lightning. There was a reason for this: humans had been in a long war with the Yibians. Why couldn't they defeat them? Because the Yibians possessed the element of wind. This seemed like a miracle to humans. They swiftly defeated the Yibians, driving them out of these lands, and it was the end.

  Raito:

  This Anka bird Helianthus is amazing! It helped humans when they were in trouble and quickly defeated the Yibians.

  Haru:

  I want to see this Helianthus. Mother, it must be something very grand if its influence reaches this far, right?

  Yori:

  Hahaha, it probably surpasses even that, Haru.

  Raito:

  Thanks to it, I can control lightning.

  Haru:

  Yes, you can control it, but I'm stronger than you. My flames would turn you into grilled fish.

  Raito:

  Well then, would you like to see who turns whom into fish? (He stands up and gestures outside.)

  Haru:

  If you're game, come on then.

  Yori:

  You're just like your father. Hey, no fighting, come on, the food will get cold.

  Haru:

  Hmph, you got lucky this time, Raito.

  Raito:

  Your face won't turn purple again; that's the real kindness I'm showing you.

  Yori:

  Hey, don't start with each other.

  Haru:

  Mother, do you think I can find the Anka bird Helianthus?

  Yori:

  I think you can. If you believe, you can do anything.

  Raito:

  It's impossible, Haru. You definitely won't find it. By the way, Mom's meatballs are the best meatballs.

  Haru:

  It's not impossible! Then are you up for a race? The first one to find Helianthus wins!

  Raito:

  I'm game. Let's see who finds it first.

  Raito quickly puts the vegetables on his plate into his mouth and laughs, saying, "I've already started searching."

  Haru:

  Unfairrrrr!
