I let out a breath as I approch the village gate. Mother always has to talk my ears off.

Hopefully nobody was too worried about my sudden disappearance.

I make my way back to the inn. Upon entering the lobby, I'm about to go upstairs when someone calls out to me.

???: Malt! Malt! Hey Malt!

I looked around and saw someone sitting down waving at me....

Hey wait.... Only...

Malty: ...Cloud?

Cloud: Yup yup! Look look! Cloud got a body now! Isn't that cool?!

I guess her and (Y/N) went to go see Madame Crane.

Malty: You look good Cloud. You wner to go see Crane?

Cloud: Yes yes! Crane lady let Cloud buy necklace. But had no clothes. So Crane lady gave Cloud clothes too!

I pat her head. Wow, she really is human. Crane now's her stuff for sure.

Malty: So, where's (Y/N)?

Cloud: Biki went somewhere. Told Cloud to come and wait for Malt.

She probably went back to that place. I might go and-

The bell over the door rang as someone entered.

I push open the Inn's door and motion for Okita to enter first.

(Y/N): Don't be shy. Come in.

She looked at me briefly before slowly walking in.

Me and Mary follow behind her. I looked around and saw Cloud with Malty.

(Y/N): Ah, your back Malty. Perfect timing actually. I'd like to introduce you two too our new party member. Her name is Okita.

The three look at eachother.

(Y/N): Uhh... Let's go up to my room. It'll be more private.

Malty: Yeah...Yeah, let's.

The five of us go upstairs and to my room. I enter the room last and lock the door behind me. I'm then suddenly grabbed by the back of my collar and thrown into my bed.

Malty: WHAT THE HELL HIBIKI!

(Y/N): Huh? What?

Malty: What? Don't what me! You bought a slave!

(Y/N): Okay, I know. Yeah, it looks bad. But-

Malty: Shut up. Shut up and listen.

Wow. Her hair is sparking. I bearly got a chance to-

Malty: Did you even hear me!?

(Y/N): Oh. Wait I thought-

Before I could speak, she pushed me against the bed, her hair is literally ablaze.
