"Are you sure you can make that trip alone?" Senji asked Nori.
"I'm confident we can. Hiro's so excited we may even get there early."
"Send word when you get there,"Yato said,"and don't do anything dangerous."
"Okay, we'll send word soon," Nori said.
Nori gave Yato a peck on the cheek,"stay safe on patrol."
"How long has that been going on?" Senji asked.
"A while," Senji laughed.
"Nori!" Mr. Korezuto greeted his guest at the door,"how have you been?"
"Well, how about you?"
"Excited for your arrival. You must be Hiro! I'm Mr. Korezuto."
"Nice to meet you," Hiro said.
"What a nice young man! Let me show you around. Nori, your room is the same as last time. Go ahead and rest. We'll come get you when dinner is ready."
"Okay, Thank you sir. Have fun Hiro!"
"Did Hiro wear you out?" Nori asked.
"I'm not as young as I used to be," Mr. Korezuto responded.
"He makes me feel old too."
"You? Old? Old people don't climb trees to help cats?"
"How do you know about that incident?"
"Yato writes me letters."
"He does?"
"Since you last visited I get one every week."
"That surprises me."
"Come look."
Nori looked through a large stack of letters. To her surprise many of them had stories about her.
"I had no idea he did this," she said.
"It would embarrass him if he knew I told you."
"Good."
"He said you may need a place to stay for a while when this is done."
"Yeah, the castle has cut me off from my funds."
"You're free to stay here until Fukiya figures out the funding."
"I wouldn't want to intrude."
"You wouldn't be. You're practically family now."
"Thank you."
