Chapter 20 - Cherishing the Sapling

A week after Isla tried to run away, Professor Markel dropped in for a visit on a Friday afternoon. We made ourselves comfortable in the backyard, drinking tea and watching Val water a much happier, dancing Isla.

"Your report was probably the most comprehensive thing you've written all year. I'm impressed, Akira. You do have it in you to be articulate for someone who skipped college to play video games all day," Professor Markel said, sparing no mercy to poke fun at me.

"Oh, lay off me. I wrote that cover letter not expecting to get this job. So, what's the verdict?" I asked.

"Although the remedy to Isla's fungal spores is a simple fix, we can't knowingly let people be poisoned just because we have an antidote. Tarcosa has one method, and that is to magically neuter and spay her," he said.

I nearly spat out my drink.

"You want to maim her?"

"The risk is Isla spawning thousands of Isilus Mandragons when she matures. I'm not giving you a choice. I'm telling you, Akira. She won't be able to expel the fungal spores anymore, but Tarcosa promises to supply mana potions to supplement her diet," Professor Markel explained.

"And what if one day that supply stops or dries up?" I glared.

The professor finished his tea, brushed the cookie crumbs from his lap, and stood up.

"I can't always take your side. Isla has two weeks. The surgical operation in Weyera will take up to a month. I do have some good news." He handed me a padded certificate holder, containing Isla's United States citizenship document with her picture on it.

"Isla's an official citizen?" I gasped. Holding the piece of paper in my very hands felt so surreal.

Even I wasn't a citizen. Just a dude from Japan with a work visa.

Yet somehow, having Isla's certificate of citizenship filled me with emotions I didn't think possible. This was what I was working towards all along. For netherfolks to find a new life in this world. It started getting hard to see with the tears blurring my vision. I wiped my eyes to get a better look.

The date of birth and sex was on it and everything. Isla Katagiri—

I had to read it again to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.

"Why does Isla have my last name?" I asked

"What do you mean why? Isla is a minor, so that makes her a dependent. Since she was born in your dormitory and under your care, that makes her your child and responsibility. Congratulations, Akira. You're now the father of a healthy Isilus Mandragon alraune. Since you're a Japanese national, by their common law, Isla also has dual citizenship in Japan." Professor Markel patted me on the shoulder and headed for the backyard exit.

It wasn't until the professor was out the door that I snapped out of it.

"You get back here right now and explain yourself, Professor! I'm only 18! I turn 19 in July! I'm too young to be a father… damn it… he's
