Chapter Thirteen: The Eternal Promise

“Oh, Mister Shiro!”

I was en route to the southern part of the city with Peace still perched on my shoulder when I heard someone call out to me. I turned around and saw Aina and Karen walking toward me. Their hair looked all smooth and glossy, which told me they were done with their bath.

“Aina! Karen!” I called back with a smile spreading across my face. “What a coincidence, running into you two here!”

“We went to a different bathhouse from the one we all visited yesterday,” Karen said by way of explanation. “Every bathhouse in Mazela has its own character, so today, we decided to try out one in this part of town.”

“I see,” I replied.

“Trying out all the different types of bathhouses in the city is a popular touristy thing to do, after all,” Karen continued. “Besides, we had to take care of your request.”

I chuckled. “Yes, you did. Thanks again.”

The two of them told me they were planning on visiting another bathhouse that evening. In a way, Mazela was somewhat similar to the hot-spring districts you find in Japan, except here, the main attractions were bathhouses. I decided I’d also swing by a bathhouse later in the day.

“Mister Shiro, Miss Karen and I are gonna go eat some pie!” Aina told me excitedly.

“Pie?” I asked, shooting Karen a quizzical look.

“The receptionist at the bathhouse told us about a restaurant not too far from here that supposedly does some very good pies,” she explained. “So Aina and I thought we’d go check it out.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Why are you here, Mister Shiro?” Aina asked. “Were you going there to eat pie too?”

I chuckled. “Not quite. I was actually on my way to check out one of the merchant guilds.”

I explained the situation to them, telling them how I’d been turned away at the door of each of the Big Five merchant guilds because I had no letters of recommendation, and that I’d been informed that the only guild in the city that didn’t require me to show any documentation was located in the southern part of Mazela. Once they were sufficiently up-to-date, Karen and Aina exchanged a glance and nodded.

“I see,” Karen said. “Let me tag along with you this time.”

“Are you sure?” I asked. “I thought you two were gonna go grab a bite to eat.”

“We can go later. Besides, while Ninoritch might be a small town out in the sticks, I’m still a mayor. Having me alongside you might help convince them to let you into their guild, don’t you think?”

“I agree!” Aina piped up. “We already had lots of fun in the bath, and I wanna help you out more than I wanna eat pie, Mister Shiro!”

Well, seeing how enthusiastic the two of them were about helping me, I couldn’t exactly refuse, could I?

“Thank you. That’s really nice of you. All righty, should we get going?”

Meow!

And so, the three of us plus Peace headed for the southern part of the city.
