Chapter Four: The Looming Darkness, Part One

According to Duane, Shess would arrive in Ninoritch in five days’ time, depending on the weather, which meant I had less than a week to build a suitable place for Shess and her entourage to live in. Duane had already secured the necessary land, so all that was left to do was to make a start on the construction project. Luckily, I already had some experience of throwing up houses in a crazy short amount of time, so I knew exactly who I should ask to help out: Patty. Thanks to her mastery of the Stone Wall spell, she could whip up a whole house in a matter of minutes. I explained the situation to her and she instantly agreed to help, since Shess was her friend too. I also commissioned Team Dwarf to take care of the interior and craft all of the furniture we would need. They grumbled about the insanely tight deadline, but eventually accepted without too much complaint due to how good the pay was, for Lord Bashure would be the one shouldering all of the cost. I brought them all some good alcohol from Japan as an apology, and this gave them the motivation to get the job done on time. With all of that out of the way, there really wasn’t much left for me to do.

Maybe I should go buy her some comfy bedding? After all, I always find it difficult to sleep when I go somewhere new. Feels like the least I could do is try to make sure she has a good night’s sleep when she gets here. With that decided, I was just about to head back to Japan and swing by a home goods store when I heard someone calling out my name from somewhere behind me.

“Shiro! I’ve finally found you, meow!”

I turned around and saw Kilpha running toward me.

“Shiro! Something terrible has happened, meow!” she cried out, sprinting as fast as she could straight at me. Her sheer speed would have put any Olympic runner to shame.

“Hey, ho—”

I didn’t get time to finish saying “Hold on” before she literally threw herself into my arms.—or perhaps it would be more accurate to say: before she tackled me—and while I may have been the star of my college wrestling team back in my student days, compared to the people of this world, I was about as brawny as a toothpick. No matter how much I wanted to entertain Kilpha’s enthusiasm, there was absolutely no way I was able to catch a cat-sìth dashing at me full speed.

“Eek!” I yelped.

“Meow?”

And so, predictably, gravity took over, and I landed flat on my back like a pancake. I somehow managed to break my fall so that I didn’t actually get hurt, but this led to Kilpha straddling me.

“I-I’m so sorry, meow!” she said promptly.

“It’s all good,” I reassured her.

“Did you hit your head, meow?”

“I managed to break my fall using my arms, so I’m fine.”

She let out a long sigh of relief.
