Chapter 21- Getting a Guild Card

Chapter 21- Getting a Guild Card

[Keeno POV]

A few minutes later I stopped holding my Soul Weapon up to the suns. I was going to ask Ama and Fia how I was supposed to put my Soul Weapon away, but just the thought entering my head caused the swords and chains to disappear like they were never there.

“So that’s how I do that.” (Keeno)

“So, Keeno.” (Fia)

I looked up at Fia. She was smiling at me and she seemed to be holding in some laughter. I pouted grumpily at her.

“What?” (Keeno)

“Hehe. Why don’t we keep with the momentum of this and go and get you your guild card today? I know you’ve been wanting to get it since your tenth birthday.” (Fia)

“Sounds fine to me.” (Keeno)

Fia nodded at me and turned to go back inside. When I was sure she wasn’t looking at me, I pumped my fist in triumph.

{You’re cute, Keeno. Makes me want to just pull you into a hug and never let go.}

‘I wouldn’t mind, if that could be arranged.’

{...I...}

“Hehehehehe.” (Keeno)

While enjoying the flustered Ama noises, I followed Fia inside. The two of us got dressed for the day, then I fed Huginn and Muninn. After they finished eating, they flapped their wings and landed on each of my shoulders.

“Caw!” (Huginn)

“Squaq! Caw, caw, squak!” (Muninn)

“Yes, you two, I’m absolutely fine. A bit tired, but not enough to hamper anything.” (Keeno)

““CAW!!”” (Huginn and Muninn)

“I get it! Stop always doing that in my ears!” (Keeno)

“Mischievous little birds, aren’t they?” (Fia)

“Nah. They are just worried about me...I think.” (Keeno)

Huginn frantically bobbed its head while Muninn used on of its wings and tried to pat my head with it.

“...You’re teaching them weird things.” (Fia)

“LIES AND SLANDER! And besides, Pram is the one that taught them how to pat people’s heads. She likes doing that.” (Keeno)

{I know it’s not the case, but it sometimes feels like it’s the other way around and she enjoys receiving pats more.}

“I won’t deny that.” (Keeno)

We all chuckled at that and then left our home. As soon as we stepped out of the door, a thought came to me.

“Guild cards are like that orb thing that showed me that status thing, right? Does that mean that I’ll have to somehow hide my Title of Ama’s Fated One and her Divine Protection and the other things that mortals shouldn’t normally have?” (Keeno)

I nodded my head and Randal left the room.

“Want me to help you? Some people really struggle doing this.” (Fia)

“I got it.” (Keeno)

I stood from the seat I was sitting on and removed my shirt. I then picked up the needle and stabbed myself in the chest. It stung a bit, but not enough to really leave any lingering pain of discomfort. About three seconds after I did this, the needle went from silver to red. I removed it from my chest and tapped it onto the silver card. The card shone for a minute before changing color. It went from pure silver to a mix of blue, black, and grey. I then put my shirt back on and we called Randal to come back into the room. He sat back down on his seat and picked up my new Guild card.

“Let’s see...Oh ho. So, Okami is your family name, and your actual name is Keeno. And Death magic is quite rare. As for why it’s blue when you have no water affinity is strange. Also, I’ve never heard of a Soul Weapon with such an interesting name. Do you mind if I see it?” (Randal)

“Before any of that, I would like to request you keep my first name to yourself.” (Keeno)

“Of course, Little Miss Okami. I won’t pry.” (Randal)

I nodded my thanks to him then glanced at Fia. She nodded to me, and I moved my shoulders a little, signaling Huginn and Muninn to move off of them for a bit. Once they moved, conveniently next to something shiny, I opened my hands and wished for my Soul Weapon to appear. This time instead of the gradual manifestation, it was practically immediate. Randal looked at the two swords connected to chains with a serious look on his face.

“Quite remarkable. These are some of the most unique Soul Weapons I’ve seen in my many years walking this world. And, if you don’t mind a comparison, they somewhat resemble Miss Fiametta’s Soul Weapon. Not in shape, but, if I had to put a word to it, quality.” (Randal)

I made my Soul Weapon vanish again and Randal placed the Guild card back on the table and slid it over to me. I picked it up and looked at it.

Name: Keeno Okami

Sex: Female

Race: Kitsune

Status: Normal

Magic Affinities: Solar, Death, Illusion

Soul Weapon: Cerulean Sunblades

I put it away in a pocket after reading it over and making a mental note to ask how to hide things on it later. Fia then took over the conversation and spoke with Randal mostly about the past, but closer to the end of the conversation, they moved onto what I could and couldn’t do with my Guild card.

Chaos Realm:

Keeno: So tired. Fia really talks a lot when she’s with friends.

Luna: That conversation was definitely boring to sit through. But at least Huginn and Muninn were there to help distract you for a while. It’s a shame they can’t come here yet.

OI! Who said you could decide they will eventually!?

Order: They won’t?

...I never said that, I just asked why Luna was making arbitrary decisions in our home.

Order: Don’t be like that. She just took into consideration how flexible you keep rules in here and made an observation.

...Am I really that loose with the rules in what I allow into our home?

Luna: Pretty much.

......

Order: Hehehe. No need to look so down, I, for one, know you’re only like that when it comes to your close friends, so it’s fine. You know I’d step in to mediate things if they start to get out of hand.

*Nods head in agreement*

Yeah, you’re right.

Keeno: ...Wow you’re good at that. Though I don’t get why you wanted them to start getting all flirty.

Luna: It was a teaching moment for you, Keeno. This is just another form of intangible Fluff.

Keeno: I see. Very interesting.
