Chapter 198: Working For A Living
Well into mid-day, Kir was awakened by the door to his room bursting open without preamble, causing him to rise up immediately as he prepared for battle.
"Good. You’re up. Now that you’ve got your glamour, you can do some work for me." Chancellor Lumin seemed especially grumpy.
"Wha’s that?" Stella groaned as she leaned up, still slightly on top of Kordia.
Lumin just shook her head and walked away, leaving Kir to scramble for his sandals as he rapidly converted Mimzy from collar to clothes. After a quick check in the mirror, he was out the door, jogging to catch up to Lumin as Terry walked beside her with a tray.
Two cups of coffee waited on the tray, one of them half-drunk, and Kir quietly reached for the other, downing it in one gulp. At the end of it, he noticed Lumin had been watching him as she walked. "Good. You at least look normal when drinking. There’s a matter down at the docks I need you to deal with. They requested I go, but I told them I’d arrange a magical expert. Congratulations, you’re now a magical expert."
"Wait, what’s happening at the docks?" Kir asked.
"Some idiot carved a ship in half during the siege. Managed to cut right through the ship’s wards and damage the city shield behind it. I don’t suppose you know who Ghostheart is?"
Kir tensed, and right then Kiryu decided to add his two cents.
"Rule number one: Don’t snitch on yourself," Kiryu chuckled.
