This girl is Avinia.
She was kidnapped by the Ebon Riders.
But thanks to Lute, Cheval, and their friends, she was safely rescued.
On top of that, the kids even managed to reclaim the other stolen Kinship Stones.
Now Avinia's on her way to celebrate the New Year with everyone…
…and for the first time heads towards Lute's hometown: Hakum Village.
Just a little further, Avinia.
Okay.
Look!
We're here!
That's Hakum Village, where we grew up.
Everyone is waiting for Navirou's return.
Guys!
I'm sure everyone in the village will be happy to meet you, Avinia.
Let's go.
Yeah.

Episode 64 New Year at Hakum Village
I'm glad you're finally safe, Avinia.
Thank you very much.
I am honored to meet you, Chief Omna.
I've heard a lot about you.
You sure had it rough.
Pleased to meet you as well, Mr. Gamigami.
Avinia.
You endured capture for a long time.
Yes…
Come oooon!
What's up with all these stiff greetings?
We're hungry so let us eat already, Chief Omna!
You prepared all this just for us, right?
Navirou started a long time ago.
Don't just eat it like that without permission!
Even I held back!
First come, first served.
That's unfair!
Unfair! Unfair! Unfair!
Hey, cut it out already.
– But Navirou…! – But Lute…!
I thought they might have matured, but I see they haven't changed at all.
Whaf fo yo mean?
This doesn't feel bad, though.
You mean this face?
All right, let's try it on Avinia!
I don't think that's what she meant!
Nya-ow…
By the way, Lute, show them what we brought.
Oh, yeah.
Here you go.
That's… my Kinship Stone!
Our friends managed to find it when they infiltrated the Black Castle.
And it's not just yours – we have everyone's Kinship Stones.
I'm back in top form!
How do I look?
You finally look like the Dan I know!
Yup!
I think you all deserve a good rest and should spend New Year's Eve in Hakum Village.
Of course, that includes you, Avinia.
Yes sir.
I'll gladly accept your invitation.
Sure, fine…
But, Chief Omna…
Hmm?
Can we finally eat?
I can't believe you guys…
Let's call everyone and start.
All right!
Ah, I'm stuffed!
You really ate all you could.
Yeah.
I'm sure I'll fall asleep in five seconds when I get home.
For Navirou it's three seconds.
Then it's two seconds for me.
Then I need only one.
I know!
Why don't we get up early tomorrow to see the sunrise?
Sunrise?
I'd like to see the first sunrise of the new year together with everyone!
That sounds great!
Count me in!
Me too!
Navirou will go with you, too!
All right!
I'll bet the best view will be from Mosco Hill.
Yeah!
That spot is perfect for viewing sunrises.
Okay, then it's decided!
Navirou will high five too!
Then we should all go to bed super early tonight.
I'll fall asleep in 0.1 seconds when I get home.
Then Navirou will fall asleep in 0.001 seconds.
Are you sure you can wake up early?
Numbers!?
What are you guys doing here?
Ch-Cheval?
I'm terribly sorry!
I fell asleep before I knew it…
It's fine…
But why are you here?
Navirou told us this is his home so we could use it however we like.
Everyone was tired from the long trip…
When Floof yawned, everyone got really sleepy as well.
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
But Navirou's home is very comfortable-nyaa…
Did you say that?
Lute's home is also Navirou's home.
Yeah, but you should've told me about this.
Anyway, we need to go to bed early today.
Avinia, step inside.
We prepared a bed for you.
Sure.
Avinia, you're going to stay at Navirou's home, too?
Yes.
That's terrific!
Yeah.
All right!
Numbers!
Avinia!
Welcome to my and Cheval's house!
Sleeping in a bed sure feels good!
Yeah. You're right.
Okay! Let's fall asleep already and get up as soon as possible!
Good night, Cheval!
Okay. Good night.
Oh, by the way!
What?
This is the first time in a while, Avinia.
Have a good rest.
Thank you.
Good night, Fifi.
A lot has happened this year…
Lute's group, who couldn't even Ride On at first…
…not only became full-fledged Riders…
…but soon left this village to stop the Black Blight.
And even though there were some breakups along the way…
It's over…
It's all over, isn't it?
The power of our kinship put an end to it.
This year is nearly over now.
I hope this next year will be good to everyone.
You can't sleep?
I just wanted to feel the night breeze a little.
It must have been difficult being all alone for so long.
I've always worried about you.
I was looking all over for your whereabouts with Lilia.
I'm so relieved to have you back here with us.
Fifi…
Avinia.
From now on, you can think of me as your big sister.
It's so warm…
This fluffiness is my pride.
You're welcome to plunge in anytime.
I'll always be by your side.
Always?
Yeah.
Let me serve you as your Navigator from now on.
Thank you, Fifi…
One day I was suddenly taken away by people who called themselves the Ebon Riders.
Then Frostfang and I were locked in the Black Castle.
In that castle, there were four high ranked Riders.
Mad, Wrath, Shadow, and Gale.
But there was one more…
One more?
His name is Anvis.
Anvis…?
What was he like?
I don't really know.
He was always wearing a mask, so I didn't see his face.
I wonder what their goal could be…?
I tried to find out.
I asked one of the four Ebon Riders, Gale.
I'll say this perfectly clear.
Right now, you're powerless.
You can't do anything by yourself.
Naturally, you don't have the key, or the power to break the chains.
Do not forget that.
Well, it'd be a different story if you had Wrath's appetite.
What do you hope to gain from all of this?
A Kinship Stone, of course.
And from the world's best Rider, too.
I wonder what they're trying to accomplish by collecting Kinship Stones…
Anvis wanted to know about some arcane art.
Do you have any memories of it?
I don't have… any memories of the past.
Huh?
Both about my village…
…and about my family.
The day my village was attacked by the Black Blight…
…I lost everything.
I see…
It's all right.
You don't need to force yourself to remember.
But you know what, Fifi.
I felt something when I came here, to Hakum Village.
That everyone from the village I lived in was gentle and kind.
Oh dear! We don't have much time until sunrise.
Let's hurry and wake everyone up.
Okay.
Ride On!
Rathalos!
Nya-ow!
So sleepy…
Who was it, again?
The one who was looking forward the most to getting up so early?
I didn't think Lute was so bad at getting up.
I'm all fine now!
I feel totally awake!
Navirou's eyes are wide open, too!
Lute!
Looks like we made it in time.
May the new year be a good year!
May it be a good year!
Ah, so hungry…
I hope I'm not going to start the new year on empty stomach…
Then let's start the new year by making breakfast.
I'll prepare it.
Oh? But where are the Numbers?
They probably wanted to start the new year by taking a walk.
I'll be going out for a bit, too.
Lilia wanted to show me around Hakum Village.
Ah, cool! Then I'll go t—
Ah-ha, sure! Have great time!
H-Hey.
Cheval, what are you doing…?
We can prepare everything while Lilia keeps Avinia busy.
Oh!
Yeah, yeah!
Have a blast, girls!
Okay.
Avinia!
We came to pick you up.
Let's see… Cheval?
Is it okay to mix this powder with the egg souffle?
Um, no.
Take the other one.
Oh, this one?
Thank you!
Hey, Lute.
Yeah?
How long should I cook the meat?
You cooked it too much!
Are you sure?
Mom always said to put meat in a good fire.
Well, yeah, but you overdid it.
Cheval, you're completely white!
You should see yourself, Lute!
We're home!
We've returned from our first walk…
Uh, what happened here?
We thought it would be nice to have a surprise party for Avinia.
So Cheval and I were trying to make a feast…
But can we make it like this?
It'll be fine!
As long as we put our hearts into it!
I see!
You're right! It's all about heart!
Wait, wait, wait!
A bright flame is a testimony of passion!
Number One!
Beats!
Hot on the inside, cool on the outside.
Number Two!
Cryo!
Kira-kira-nyaa!
A dazzling flash is the proof of beauty.
Number Three!
Fifi here!
These glasses aren't just for show.
I'm the brains of the Numbers!
Number Four!
Spex!
For a brighter tomorrow, leave it to Navirou!
Number Five!
Navirou!
A well-slept child is a well-kept child.
Number Six!
Floof.
The six of us are…
The Numbers!
We'll help you out!
How was Lute's house?
Those two snore pretty loud. Did you manage to get any sleep?
I was fine.
If you don't like there anymore, feel free to come over to my house any time.
Sure.
Thank you, Lilia.
And I'd like to ask you to take good care of Fifi.
I will.
I'm happy to have such strong friend.
That's great.
Wow, what a beautiful garden!
This is where Cheval's house used to be.
Huh?
Cheval's mother liked flowers very much!
That's why we filled this place with flowers!
I see.
It's nice, isn't it?
Yes.
It is.
Very much so.
I'm back.
Surprise!
What… what's going on?
It's a party!
It might be a new year!
But it's also time to celebrate your arrival, Avinia!
Tadaa!
Wow, it's great!
Did you two really make everything by yourselves?
Well, we wanted to…
But we ended up getting a lot of help.
It was all for my precious Avinia!
…and not only that!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
We're here!
All right!
Let's get started then!
Cheers!
It's delicious!
What's this?
A Hakum Village's specialty: Mixed fruit juice.
I've also brought us some drinks.
Lilia's special Energy Drink!
Who wants one?
But why? It's so nutritious!
Lilia, I'll take one.
Avinia, don't!
Don't be hasty!
You can't!
Stop!
It's too dangerous!
What are all of you saying?
Here I go.
– It's great! – Ehh!?
Right? Hehe.
It's amazing, Lilia!
Avinia must have…
…really weird taste buds…
Avinia, say "ah".
It's an egg souffle.
Oh! Thank you, Big brother!
Avinia, would you like some fruit?
Huh?
Oh, sure. Thanks, Fifi.
All right! It's time for Lute's Monstie Imitation Quiz!
What could I be?
Huh? What's that…?
I know! A Yan Kut-Ku!
Maybe it's a Velocidrome?
A Bulldrome?
I have no clue.
Me neither.
Nope. Boo-boop.
The correct answer was a Gendrome!
All right, here goes another!
What could I be?
Honestly, Lute…
You'll catch a cold…
Big brother!
Dusk!
Take care!
He can't be…
No way…
Hi! I'm Avinia.
Thanks to Lute and his friends, I was rescued.
But there's one thing I'm still worried about.
Gale, could you possibly be…
