I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Chirp chirp chirp... This is troublesome. By the way, what kind of reward do you want?"

Upon hearing Bekulin's words, Yuhaka stroked his chin thoughtfully. To be honest, Yuhaka didn't really want much. In the end, Yuhaka asked where he could find the ingredients in the recipe the old king had given him. Bekulin had seen most of these things during his travels, so he told Yuhaka their locations.

After learning where to find the ingredients, Yuhaka waved goodbye to Boculin. Boculin told Yuhaka that if he ever got Krogh's fruit, he could come back to him to get a bigger bag or something.

.................................................. .......................

After passing through a narrow mountain path, Yuhaka arrived at the location of Kakariko Village, marked on the Sheikah Stone map.

Upon arriving at a large tree near Kakariko Village, Yhwach saw an old woman slowly standing up from her seat. The old woman seemed slightly surprised to see the Sheikah Stone hanging around Yhwach's neck.

"Little friend...where did you get that thing hanging around your neck?"

In response to the old woman's question, Yhaka honestly told her where she got the Sheikah Stone. Upon hearing Yhaka's answer, the old woman nodded and said:

"I see, I see..."

The old woman then told the person that the Stone of Sheikah was proof of the chosen one. Although not many people knew about this anymore, some still remembered it. The old woman then asked Yuhaka to meet their chieftain, who was called Impa.

Yuhaka had previously heard the old man tell her to find a man named Impa, so Yuhaka went to Kakariko village to find Chief Impa.

After Ehka entered the village, many people curiously looked at him, since Ehka's appearance had never been seen in Hyrule before, which made the villagers of Kakariko Village very curious.

Soon, Yuhaka arrived at the chieftain's house, not far from below a waterfall. At the same time, two men who appeared to be ordinary guards, standing watch at the top of the stairs, immediately became very wary of Yuhaka and said:

"Who goes there! This is Lord Impa's residence."

Then they noticed the Sheikah Stone hanging around Yuhaka's neck and looked quite surprised, saying:

"Huh? This is... the Sheikah Stone!?"

The other person also looked at Yuhaka with a surprised expression and said:

"So you... no, you could be...?!"

The two then relaxed, looked at Yuhaka, and apologized:

"I was rude just now."

Another person explained to Yuhaka:

"Lord Impa has already informed you. Please come in, just walk inside."

As they spoke, the two stepped aside, and Yuhaka, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered and didn't seem to have realized what was happening. However, Yuhaka couldn't figure it out, so he went up the stairs. When he arrived at the door at the top of the stairs, Yuhaka saw a white-haired girl wiping the floor with a rag.

Sensing someone approaching, the girl looked up at Yuhaka, who was staring at her.

Yuhaka: "OwO staring..."

White-haired girl: "...Ah..."

The white-haired girl, realizing what was happening, blushed slightly and looked at Yuhaka, saying:

"Hey, hey hey!? Someone's here?!"

Then, the white-haired girl was taken aback when she saw the Sheikah Stone hanging around Yuhaka's neck and said:

"That's?! The Sheikah Stone?!"

The white-haired girl looked at Yuhaka with a surprised expression and said:

"Could you be Link, the one Grandma used to talk about?!"

Upon hearing the white-haired girl's words, Yuhaka also showed a puzzled expression and said:

“Link? No, Youyou is Youyou.”

Yuhaka's words stunned the white-haired girl. After all, her grandmother had told her that if someone came wearing the Sheikah Stone, that person would be the knight who had once served the princess.

But now...

The white-haired girl shook her head. Although she didn't know what was going on, the Sheikah Stone worn by the child in front of her was genuine. As for the specifics, she would leave it to her grandmother to determine.

"Um, um, I'm Pa...Pa...Papaya..."

Upon hearing the white-haired girl's self-introduction, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at her, saying:

"Papaya?"

Yuhaka's way of addressing the white-haired girl made the shy girl quickly wave her hand and say:

"No, no, no, it's called Paya, not Papaya!"

After Paya said her name, she looked relieved and clutched her chest, saying:

"Phew... I finally said it..."

"OwO???"

Chapter 609 [The Test... How could it be so fast?!]

Seeing Yuhaka's puzzled look, Paya quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, it's only natural to say my name, right... I'm really embarrassed."

Yuhaka shook her head, seemingly unconcerned, when asked about Paya's words, after all, she had a rather shy girl named Viya at home.

Seeing that Yuhaka understood, Paya also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Thank you for your understanding. Oh... by the way, you're here to see Grandmother, right? Please... please come in. Grandmother has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing Paya's words, Yuhaka nodded and pushed open the door to go inside. When Yuhaka opened the door, he saw an old woman sitting on a cushion with three pillows on it, and she was wearing a pointed straw hat on her head. However, the old woman looked dumbfounded when she saw Yuhaka come in.

"You are... um? Sheikah Stone?! Um?? Link?? How did you become... like this?!!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Yuhaka puffed out his cheeks and said:

"It's not Link, it's Yoyo!"

Seeing the old woman's surprised expression, Yuhaka took out a letter from the dimensional portal and handed it to her, saying:

"Grandma Impa, a letter for Grandpa~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the old lady known as Impa took the letter from Yuhaka's hand with a bewildered expression. To be honest, she didn't know which grandfather Yuhaka was talking about. After all, many of her old acquaintances had passed away 100 years ago, and the remaining acquaintances had also left one by one over the past 100 years.

After reading the letter in her hand, Grandma Inpa understood what had happened. Inpa sighed and said:

"Ha... such a thing actually happened? This is truly a misfortune for Hyrule..."

"OwO?"

Hearing Grandma Impha's words, Yuhaka looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand something. Grandma Impha put down the letter in her hand and looked at Yuhaka, who had an "OwO" expression on his face, and said:

"Child, what is your name?"

"Yoyo~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Grandma Impha nodded and said:

"Really? Her name is Youyou..."

Grandma Impa looked at Yuhaka's serious expression and said:

"Youyou, do you know the responsibilities you will have to bear next?"

Upon hearing Grandma Impha's question, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"Yes, destroy Calamity Ganon and protect the world."

Yuhaka's answer made Impa nod and say:

"Hmm, not a bad answer, but it's still missing one target."

Hearing Impa's words, Yuhaka tilted his head in confusion and said:

"Um???"

Then Impa looked at Yuhaka and said:

"That is to rescue Princess Zelda."

After hearing Grandma Impa's answer, Yuhaka also remembered the person called Princess Zelda, who seemed to be Grandpa Rom's daughter. But why save her? Wouldn't it be easier for Yuhaka to just kill that big bad guy called Calamity Ganon herself and solve all the problems?

Grandma Impa, sitting on three pillows, looked at Yohaka and said:

"The answer is simple: only Princess Zelda has the power to seal Calamity Ganon, which is not an ability that everyone possesses."

After hearing Grandma Impha's words, Yuhaka looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked curiously:

"Why can't we just kill that big bad guy?"

Grandma Impa shook her head and said:

"That's useless. We can't destroy Calamity Ganon with our current methods. The only way is to seal Calamity Ganon, and the only person who can seal Calamity Ganon is Princess Zelda."

Upon hearing Grandma Impa's answer, Yuhaka understood why it was necessary to rescue Princess Zelda.

Then Grandma Impa looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Although His Majesty the King believes you are capable of shouldering the important task of saving Hyrule, I still want to test you."

Yuhaka tilted his head, curious about what kind of test Grandma Impa would give him. Grandma Impa pointed to the Temple of Trials on the hillside near Kakariko Village and said:

"If you can pass that test at the temple, I will tell you how to deal with Calamity Ganon."

Hearing Grandma Impa's words, Yuhaka nodded in understanding. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had no objection if it was a test. Led by Paya, Yuhaka and Paya arrived at a test shrine located on the hillside above Kakariko village. Looking at the test shrine, Paya said to Yuhaka:

"This is the temple of trials that Grandmother was talking about."

Yuhaka looked at the Temple of Trials before him and thought it was no different from the previous Temples of Trials. Paya, standing beside him, looked at Yuhaka and said:

“Um, Youyou, although I don’t know how strong you are, this Trial Temple is different from the way you used to pass the tests by relying on your wisdom. This Trial Temple tests the test taker’s strength and skills.”

Hearing Paya's words, Yuhaka gave her a thumbs-up, indicating no problem. In fact, relying on force was the best option for Yuhaka. Meanwhile, Zelus, standing nearby, slightly curled the corners of her lips and said:

"Hmph, for someone who can overcome intellectual challenges with brute force, this test is far less difficult than the previous ones..."

Shortly after Yhwach entered the temple, the entrance above the temple turned blue, indicating that Yhwach had passed the test. Paya, seeing this, stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous.

"No way?! It's only been a minute since they went in?! They've already finished the test so quickly?!"

As Yuhaka appeared at the elevator entrance, he held a Guardian's Dagger radiating blue light. Looking at the stunned Paya beside him, Yuhaka raised the dagger and said:

"Test complete!"

Seeing that Yuhaka had indeed completed the test, Paya looked at him with great surprise and said:

"Little sister Youyou, are you actually a very capable person?"
