Chapter Eleven: Homecomings and Welcomes

After parting ways with the Blue Flash crew, I was finally able to return to my shop. It had only been a few days since I was last there, and yet, it felt like an eternity. I guess I must have really started getting attached to the place.

“I’m back!” I called out as I crossed the threshold.

“Mister Shiro! Welcome back!” Aina greeted me. She’d been doing a spot of cleaning, but she dropped everything and ran over to the door to greet me as soon as she saw me walk in.

I laughed. “Hi, Aina. I’m back for good this time.”

I sat down on a chair behind the counter and took a deep breath.

“What was it like, being an ad-vent-you-rer for a few days?” Aina asked me.

“It was amazing,” I told her. “Want me to tell you all about it?”

“Yeah!” the little girl exclaimed, seemingly very excited to hear what I’d gotten up to.

“Well then. Story time it is,” I declared. “So we headed off into the forest, and then...”

I started recounting everything that had happened to me in the forest, making sure to exaggerate every single detail to make my adventure sound more interesting.

“And then, Nesca...” I said to a spellbound Aina, who occasionally let out squeals of excitement as I told her about my escapades.

“But then! Out of the blue...” I continued, recounting the perilous situation we had found ourselves in.

“And then? What happened next?!” she asked impatiently. She listened intently to the whole story, her expression changing as required to match the event I was recalling.

“Anyway, long story short, it was a pretty intense three days,” I said, concluding my tale.

She let out the breath she’d been holding. “I didn’t even notice I’d stopped breathing!” she exclaimed. “You’re so amazing, Mister Shiro! You even managed to beat two murder grizzlies!”

“Well, I didn’t. The guys and girls of Blue Flash did that. I just helped them out a little bit.”

“No way!” the little girl insisted. “If you hadn’t been there, they’d all be dead!”

I let out a little chuckle. “Yeah, they said that to me a lot too. Still, I got so scared when I saw how huge those bears were. I’m really glad we all managed to make it home in one piece. Plus, now I have a much better idea of the kinds of items that might interest adventurers. All in all, I’d say my little adventure was a success.”

“That’s great,” Aina trilled with a broad smile on her face, and I couldn’t help mirroring it with a grin of my own.

“Yes, it is,” I said.

In a few days’ time, the inspector from the royal capital guild would be coming to town, which didn’t leave me with a whole lot of time to prepare, but if I ordered some stuff online as well as making a trip to the hardware store, I’d probably just about manage.

“All righty. I’m gonna head on home for a—”

Just as I was getting up out of my chair
