Chapter Two: Kilpha’s Homeland

Rolf’s angry display sent Emille scuttling back to her counter for her own safety, where she immediately got into a heated exchange with the adventurers that had been waiting there. Cusswords filled the air, and it got so intense, I felt like I was watching an American rap battle show. She can’t go two seconds without getting into trouble, can she?

“So you’re really gonna go to the cat-sìths’ village, man?” Raiya said. With the “husband” situation all cleared up, the conversation turned back to my plans for the near-future.

“Yeah. After all, I’ve always wanted to visit the land of the fluff—ahem, I mean, the cat-sìths’ village,” I corrected myself.

I tried to look and sound as serious as possible. I couldn’t mess this up. If I started acting too enthusiastic about this prospect of going there, Kilpha might go “I’ve changed my mind, meow,” and take someone else with her. I’d never recover from that. You’ve just gotta act nice and calm, Shiro. You can do it!

“Then I’ll take you there, meow!” Kilpha said cheerily.

“Thank you so much!” I replied.

She shook her head. “No, I’m the one who should be thanking you, meow.”

The cat-sìths’ village, otherwise known as cat-ear paradise. It had been a dream of mine to visit a place like that for as long as I could remember. My own promised land, and it was finally within reach. I discreetly did a fist pump under the table and whooped a triumphant cry inside my head. By contrast, Raiya sitting opposite me had his arms crossed and looked deep in thought.

“Hm, where’s your homeland again, Kilpha?” he asked.

“In the Dura Forest, meow.”

“Right, right. And if I remember correctly, you have to do a bunch of really annoying steps before you can get in, don’t you?” he said, looking across at Nesca beside him for confirmation.

She swallowed her mouthful of chocolate cookie and washed it down with a sip of her cocktail (which had a base of chocolate liqueur, naturally) before replying. “You have to go through the city-state of Orvil if you want to gain access to the Dura forest.”

“Yeah, that was it! You need to get an entry permit in Orvil or you can’t go there,” Raiya said, rolling his eyes to emphasize just how much of a hassle the whole thing was.

“Why? Can’t we just go straight to Kilpha’s village?” I asked.

“The Dura Forest formally falls under the jurisdiction of the city-state of Orvil,” Nesca explained.

“Is that so?” I said.

“Yup,” Nesca replied.

“Could you tell me a little more about it?”

Nesca nodded lethargically. Another day, another lecture from Nesca. “Well, you see, the Dura Forest is...” she began, launching into a lecture.

I learned that the city-state of Orvil was a tiny nation situated to the southwest of the Giruam Kingdom that comprised a single fortified city and its immediate surroundings, which included the Dura Forest where Kilpha’s home village was located. As Raiya had mentioned, to go into the forest, you needed permission from the authorities
