Finishing our business in Gruen Labyrinth we decided to head back to Ankaji.
Yue, gaining the new magic, wanted to try out the new magic spell she had just created, "
With the incantation, a circular portal appeared right in front of us, which to Shea and Shizuku seemed similar to Tohru's
"..."
Tohru watched in surprise as she observed the spell, seeing Yue in a new light. She had to admit that the girl was truly a genius for creating a spell that closely resembled one of the innate skills of dragons. However, unlike Tohru's own ability, this spell couldn't traverse worlds like hers could.
"A portal to Ankaji, Huh… nice, as expected of you," I gave her a thumbs up.
Yue getting praised raised her head in pride.
"Alright, enough wasting time. Let's get out of here, I have seen enough lava for a lifetime," Hajime strode forward, entering the portal, followed by Yue and Tio.
I nodded at Shea and Shizuku as we followed.
…
Inside the Castle of Ankaji.
In the throne room, Hajime dumped a Pile of purple stone from his treasure box, which created a small mountain, "Here you go, this is all the still stone we got."
King Lanzwi saw the pile of Stillstone and looked at his subordinates. Noticing their king's gaze, they understood what their king wanted and started to transport the Still stone.
"With this, you should be able to handle the rest," Hajime said, pointing at the pile of still stones with his thumb.
"Yes, we can, and for this, I thank you wholeheartedly. My kingdom and I owe you a great deal," he said, bowing.
Hajime smiled upon hearing that.
Rihito, seeing that the talk might take longer, said, "Hajime, you take care of the talk. I am going to go and check on Myu."
Rihito ignored Hajime's annoyed glare and started to walk towards the infirmary, followed by Shea, Shizuku, and Tohru.
Shizuku seeing this bowed her head in apology towards the king and followed.
"You know, by walking away like that, you are showing a lack of respect towards the king."
I shrugged, hearing that. "Yeah, I am sure Hajime can handle that. For now, I just want to see Myu. It has been a day and a half since I have seen her. She might be worried."
"You really have started to see her as a daughter, haven't you?" Shea said with a smile.
"Damn right I am, she is my daughter now, even if her father who had suddenly disappeared suddenly comes, I won't give her to anyone."
Shizuku sighed hearing that, "But what about her mother?"
"..."
"..."
Rihito fell silent upon hearing that and didn't say anything, keeping his mouth shut and walking.
It was not like he hadn't thought about it, but he didn't know how to proceed with the talk with Myu's mother. Like, what would he say? 'I want to be the father of your daughter?' No way, no matter how he saw it, it sounded like a confession.
"We will see when we get there," Rihito said reaching the end of the corridor and entering the infirmary.
There, he saw Kaori and a bunch of maids taking care of the patients. When he was about to look around for Myu, he felt someone bump into him from his left.
"Papa, you're back! I missed you so much," Myu, wearing a cloak that hid her dagon features, exclaimed while hugging Rihito.
Rihito, taking her in his arms, nuzzled his cheeks with hers as she giggled, "Hehehe…"
"I missed you too, Myu."
"You guys are back," Kaori said, noticing as she approached and started looking around for something or someone.
Shizuku noticing her wondering gaze said with a knowing smile, "Hajime is currently talking with the king. He will come later."
"Oh, I see," Kaori said as her cheeks flushed.
Kaori taking a breath said, "I take it, that you guys were successful and found the still stone and the ancient magic."
"Yeah, that we did, but it's a bummer I don't have much of an aptitude for this," Shea said in a disheartened voice.
Kaori looked at Shea's disheartened smile and tried to console her, "I'm sure you just need a little practice to get better, I think Rihito can help with that, right?"
Suddenly gaining her spirit back, Shea said clenching her fist, "Yeah, you are right. I just need a little alon… I mean some practice time with Rihito to get better."
Shizuku seeing the slip-up up looked at Shea flatly, "You were about to say alone time didn't you."
To Shizuku's inquiry, Shea just looked away trying to whistle but failing at it.
Kaori seeing both of them get along smiled and looked at Tohru, who was silently standing near Rihito, "What about you, Tohru."
"Me?" Tohru pointed at herself.
Kaori nodded
"I guess it's alright. The magic that we gained is pretty good, it has increased my capabilities quite significantly."
"I see…"
…
"Myu how was your day," Rihito asked.
Myu thought momentarily, "Mmm… it was ok, I think."
"Hmm? Only, ok? Not good?"
Myu said looking down with slightly teary eyes, "Yeah, it's because you were not here, I felt lonely."
[Ugh…] I inwardly groaned taking quite a bit of damage from Myu's words.
"I-I am sorry Myu," I said panickingly.
I had a flash of an idea, so I said, "How about this? I will grant you anything you ask."
Myu heard that and instantly perked up. "Really, I can ask for anything." Her eyes shined like stars.
"Yes, as long as it is within my power, I will."
"Yaa~" Myu exclaimed in happiness.
Seeing Myu happily smiling, Rihito felt relief. At this point, he was about to do anything she could ask—or so he thought.
"Papa, I want to be strong just like you, so I want you to train me," Myu responded with a happy smile.
"..."
