I Live In Isekkai

Daybreak

The warm sunlight danced across the guild's halls, casting a sense of renewal over the once-tense atmosphere. Michi, Henu, and Airi returned, their footsteps echoing off the stone walls. The once-accusing gazes now held remorse, filled with genuine regret for misunderstanding Michi's intentions.

As they passed by, Ryker, a rugged adventurer with a heart of gold, approached Michi. His eyes, once filled with suspicion, now shone with sincerity. "Michi, we're sorry. We misjudged you. I hope you can forgive us." Ryker's voice trembled, revealing the weight of his guilt.

Michi's gentle smile dispelled the tension, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "It's okay. Just don't assume the worst if I take commissions with other adventurers, like Gorvoth." Michi's words were laced with a mix of understanding and caution, forged from the trials he had faced.

Yakop's booming voice interrupted the apologies, his tone warm and inviting. "Michi! Airi! My office, now!" Yakop's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement, his broad shoulders squared with pride.

In Yakop's office, the guild master's broad grin welcomed them. "Congratulations, Michi! Your rank up is well-deserved. Take a day off; you've earned it." Yakop's words were infused with pride, his eyes shining with a deep appreciation for Michi's growth.

Airi's eyes sparkled like polished gemstones. "Let's go to the sea right away!" Her enthusiasm was contagious, spreading like wildfire through the guild.Yakop chuckled, his belly shaking with mirth. "Wish I could join you, but duty calls." His expression turned wistful, his gaze drifting toward the sea.

Later that day, Michi and Airi strolled along the sun-kissed beach, the salty breeze carrying the cries of seagulls. Airi asked Michi to wait for a moment and vanished into a nearby bush, a minute later, she emerged wearing a blue top that complimented her fair skin along with a white flowing skirt that gracefully danced in the breeze. She twirled, her laughter infectious.

A gust of strong breeze suddenly lifted up her skirt, and Michi's gaze locked onto her. Airi's cheeks flushed as bright as the sunset hues.

Airi grabbed Henu, throwing him at Michi. The two crashed to the ground, Airi fainting atop them. Airi's apologies filled the air as they regained consciousness. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to—"

Michi sat up, gazing out at the turquoise waves. Henu stirred beside him.

Airi's hands trembled as she reached for Michi's. "You've become so powerful, Michi. Your past doesn't matter anymore; No matter what happens, I'll always be with you." Her voice was barely above a whisper as if it was playing with the gentle sound of waves.

Just as their fingers touched, Henu slipped, oil-slicked fur igniting Michi's face.Michi's pained smile sent Airi into fits of laughter. "Oh, Michi! You're too funny!" Her joyful laughter was music to Michi's ears.

As the sun dipped into the horizon, Michi and Airi walked along the shore. The stars began to twinkle above.      "I'm glad we came here," Airi said, her voice filled with contentment.      "Me too," Michi replied, "It feels like a nice start to a great journey."

The guild's warm fire crackled, casting a golden glow on Yakop's stern face as he summoned Michi to his office. The air was thick with anticipation.
