Chapter Sixteen: Asking Around (Part Two)

A few days later, a messenger from the Fairy’s Blessing guild came to inform me that Ney was back in town.

“Aina, could you hold the fort for a while? I have to go over to the guild,” I said to the little girl as soon as the messenger had left.

She nodded. “Sure! Leave it to me, Mister Shiro!”

“Thanks. See you in a bit!” I said, and I started walking toward the door, but stopped before I reached it.

“Mister Shiro? Is something wrong?” Aina asked me, tilting her head to one side in confusion.

I spun on my heels and made a beeline for the tatami room up on the second floor. I scooped up the still-sleeping Suama, wrapped her in a bath towel, and headed back downstairs.

“I’m taking Suama with me, just in case,” I informed Aina, who was still watching me curiously.

“Oh, okay,” she said with a nod. “See you soon then, Mister Shiro!”

And with that, I made my way to the Fairy’s Blessing guild with Suama fast asleep in my arms.

When I finally got there, I walked straight up to the reception desk and informed the new receptionist, Trell, that I’d come to see the guildmaster. She nodded and immediately ushered me into the guild’s reception office.

“Please wait here. I’ll go get the guildmaster right away,” she informed me, then she bowed and left the room, the clack-clack of her footsteps echoing down the hallway.

I glanced around the room I’d been led into and saw that it was tastefully decorated with expensive-looking ornaments lined up on some shelves and three sofas arranged in a U-shape around a table in the middle of the room. I gently lowered Suama onto one of these sofas and sat down beside her, though just as I was taking my seat, the little dragon girl opened her eyes and groaned sleepily. Looks like someone’s awake.

She brought her hand up to her eyes and started rubbing them as she peered around the room. After a few seconds of scanning her surroundings, she froze and tilted her head to one side, probably feeling a little lost at waking up in a different room from the one she’d fallen asleep in.

“Pa-pa?” she murmured as she looked up at me and tightly wrapped her little arms around my midsection.

Waking up in an unfamiliar room must’ve given her a fright, poor thing. Hey, wait... I thought, realization suddenly hitting me. Hold on a minute. She just called me papa, didn’t she? Papa! What is this feeling? My chest suddenly feels all warm and fuzzy. Is that normal?

“Everything’s all right, Suama,” I said, gently patting her head to reassure her, despite my own inner turmoil. “We’re just here to see one of my friends, okay?”

That seemed to do the trick as she flashed me a great big smile. “Ai!” she squeaked.

At that moment, someone knocked at the door.

“I’m coming in, Shiro,” said a voice from the other side, and I instantly recognized it as Ney’s. The door opened, and sure enough, Ney entered the room, followed by two other people.
