As fate would have it.

It's been a few days since Tsuki made the wish to find out who her dad is.

She told Yato the whole story about how she and her mum lived together and that she kept quiet about her dads identity.

There was just one detail she didn't tell Yato about. The one little detail that would make Yato aware of the truth in an instant.

Her mothers name as well as their last name.

Yato told her to give him a little time to investigate before they parted ways that day. They also exchanged phone numbers so they could keep in touch.

Hiyori got mad at her daughter for skipping school the whole day but after she saw the scratch on her hand she almost immediately forgot about her anger and started to examine it properly. After that she totally forgot to ask why she skipped school in the first place but still made a call to excuse her absence.

That was one characteristic about her mother that Tsuki appreciated. Even though she got angry when Tsuki neglected her duties, the well-being of her daughter was always her first priority.

There was one thing Hiyori couldn't help but notice about her daughter though. A very familiar smell surrounded her but it was way to shallow to really make out what exactly it was.

"Yato be honest. Are you really trying to figure out who that girl's father is?", Yukine asked suspiciously.

"Of course I am! What do you take me for?", Yato replied angrily.

"Then could you explain why you didn't do anything yet you lazybones! You don't even wanna help that girl out do you?"

"Shut up! I want to help her, really! I just don't know how to fulfill her wish yet.", Yato defended himself, "We didn't get a whole lot of information from her. Everyone could be her father for that matter."

"Well if you knew that you wouldn't be able to grant her wish, why did you accept her request in the first place?", Yukine put on an annoyed expression.

"I couldn't refuse her wish after the trouble she went through because of us! And there is something about her that ... you know ... reminds me of someone."

It was crystal clear who he meant by that. The sudden change of his mood made it even more obvious that Yato was talking about Hiyori. Every time he thought about her his eyes seemed to lose their light and his voice sounded broken.

"Just give me a little bid of time to figure out where to start with this job.", Yato said quietly.

"Alright. If you say so."

It was a Saturday afternoon when Tsuki was at home all alone while her mother was at the hospital. Usually the two of them spent the weekend together but sometimes Hiyori had to got to work.

Without her mum Tsuki felt a little bid lonely.

They were living in a flat near her grandparents house. It wasn't the biggest flat but she still loved it. She and her mother had their own separate bedrooms and the living room was connected to the kitchen which made it really comfortable. There even was a room where Hiyori could do all her paper work. It was stuffed with all kinds of books about medicine. Not only that, her mother also collected all kinds of books that were referring to the gods.
