Chapter Six: The Royal Capital’s Many Dangers

We successfully made it through the gate and quickly found ourselves in the bustling heart of the royal capital. Patty and Aina’s jaws hit the floor when they saw just how crowded the streets were.

“Wow, there are so many people!” the little girl breathed in amazement.

“Shiro! What’s going on here? L-Look at how many people there are! Are you trying to tell me there are this many humes?” Patty screeched, pointing at the crowd.

It took no more than a quick glance around to tell me that the number of people in this city far exceeded the population of Mazela, and the streets were very animated, with merchants hawking their wares to passersby on every corner.

“Mister Shiro,” Aina said, attempting to grab my attention.

“Hm? What is it, Aina?”

“Um, can I hold your hand? I don’t want to get lost,” she said with a shy look on her face.

I nodded. “Sure thing. Oh, but it means you won’t be able to hold Suama’s hand with all these people around.”

“No, I can manage it!” the little girl insisted.

But I just shook my head. “If all three of us hold hands in a line, we’ll end up taking up a lot of space and be an inconvenience to everyone else around us.”

A look of understanding dawned on Aina’s face. “Oh, you’re right.”

“Don’t worry, though. I have the perfect solution,” I said as I picked up Suama and turned to her mother. “Hey, Dramom, could you look after Suama for a bit?”

“Understood, master. Here, Suama, come to mother,” Dramom said.

“Ai!” Suama squealed happily as I handed her over to her mother. “Ma-ma?”

“Yes? What is it, Suama?”

“I wike you!” Suama said, rubbing her cheek against Dramom’s.

The scene was very heartwarming, and I turned back to Aina with a smile on my face. “Here, Aina,” I said, holding my hand out for her.

“’Kay!” She grabbed my hand and gripped it tightly. “Thank you, Mister Shiro,” she said, giggling adorably.

“You’re very welcome, Aina,” I said. “All righty. Should we start our search for Zidan now?”

“Yeah!” Aina replied enthusiastically.

And so, with my hand tightly clutching Aina’s much smaller one, we set off for the inn Zidan had mentioned in his letter.

◇◆◇◆◇

In his letter, Zidan had told me that he was staying at an inn called the Thunderbird’s Roost. Since we didn’t know where anything was in the royal capital, we decided to ask various people we passed for directions.

“The Thunderbird’s Roost? It’s right down this road.”

“Hm? The Thunderbird’s Roost, ye say? I think there’s an inn named that over on East Street. What? Ye wanna know how to get to East Street? Just hang a left at that corner, then turn right at the end of the road.”

“Huh? The Thunderbird’s Roost? No, it’s in the opposite direction. Oh, but if you’re looking for an inn to stay in, a good friend of mine owns one not too far from here. It’s much, much better than the Thunderbird’s Roost, and—sorry? Oh, right. Your friend’s waiting for you there.
