A Strong Father

-----

We made our way back to the town with my parents. It was a shocker for Celeste to learn the adults were all S-Rank Adventurers with the exception of Ninhursag (although she had more than likely enough power to be considered close to it), she had been rather silent ever since she learned that, and remained so until we reached the gates. In there, as usual, a group of soldiers checked the carriage and everyone getting inside.

"Ah, hello, there's a lot of variety here, huh- What is that?!" Asked one of the soldiers, looking at Mist.

"Hello!" Said Mist with a gentle smile, although her appearance was found rather hideous than cute.

"T-That's a girl?" Asked the second soldier.

"A demon girl… Y-You know that demons need to pay a special fee to enter, right? And you, red-eyed girl… I think I know you from somewhere!" Said the first soldier.
