He was probably used to it by now but Manju was more than overjoyed to hear that Hayato had accepted the task of helping them with preparing a fire memorial.

"On behalf of my family, we are truly honored that you would help us, and we thank you." He reached out a huge hand to pat Hayato on the back with a gentleness that seemed unlikely from a creature his size.

"Come. I shall show you your new home while you are here." And getting back onto his hands, he escorted the boy back to the stone palace. At the very back of the vast open area had been an inbuilt staircase, which Manju quickly ascended. Unlike the first level that was just filled to the brim with treasure, the upper levels all had rooms and actual furniture. The sheer amount of dust and cobwebs would tell him that nobody had been up here for years but the ornate furniture was unmistakably beautiful and truly fit for a king. And Hayato had it all for himself.

After being shown that, Manju lead him back outside in another direction. Unlike the hill which had been a bit of a distance, this was a short walk that would lead them to a vast waterfall. This would undoubtedly be where he'd bathe and get fresh water from and all around the area was fruit trees that had everything from apples to bananas and pears to a few lesser known leafy vegetables. Hayato would be in for a very healthy vegetarian diet unless he chose to hunt with the males.

Once all the bases were covered for his living conditions, Manju allowed Hayato to spend the rest of his evening as he pleased. However, they did ask him to build a couple fires to burn throughout the night. It wasn't until roughly 10:00 at night that the buzzing of all the monkeys would start to wind down.

The next morning, a couple hours after sunrise, Harambe would be waiting for Hayato outside the palace. Behind him stood a large cart filled to the brim with heavy little stone statues. It was evident that the gorilla wanted him to help him haul the cart toward the hill to place the statues onto each grave.

Whenever he did, he'd find the cart to be quite heavy to push and almost immovable without Harambe's help. The gorilla only exerted just enough strength to get it to move, but Hayato was free to move the cart along by whatever means necessary. The entire point though, besides setting up for the ceremony, was for this to push Hayato beyond his limits in one of the most simple ways possible.
