Van Thomas has just inherited a house from his late grandparents in the countryside and has moved into it--only to realize the house is a rather popular resort that serves all kinds of customers all year round. As the owner and manager of the building, he realizes that the inn caters to an unusual clientele, and has an even more unique staff. His secretary is named Daji. A pirate named Waverly Leviathan with   resemblance to Poseidon often stays. Daji's nephew often stays and calls himself Sun Wukong. A novelist and screenwriter, Athena, is working on a masterpiece. Then there's the CEO named Odin and his twin sons named Loki. Could these mythological connections be more than coincidence?

With absolute seriousness, Lowan looks at me through his mismatched eyes. "I'm in. Yes. You go talk to Rokaci. I'll find Berry."

Palm raised, I say, "You'll have to get through Daji and Tina first. Better tell them what you just told me about her parents and the conditions, and tell them what I realized. Then they'll understand and not want to rip your wings off and give you a haircut."

He gives me a pleading look more suited to a teenager who's forgotten his girlfriend's birthday than a powerful punk pixie. "Can you--"

I shake my head. "No. I know Daji and Tina. If you go to them on your own, wings dropping and tail between your legs, it'll mean more than if I do it."

He flies out of the office like a bat on steroids while I go see Rokaci in the ballroom.
