“Good gracious, it’s really you!”

When Sunflower stepped down from the stands with a bag full of gold royals in her hand, she heard a familiar voice.

She turned around and a smile fluttered over her face. “Hey, Tigerclaw!”

“Haha, it has been such a long time, Sunflower!” The big man gave her a big hug and patted her on the back heartily. “When His Majesty announced that name, I thought it was someone else. I didn’t expect you would defeat the Chief Knight and Morning Light. You really surprised me! Hang on… you look plumper, don’t you?”

Sunflower pushed Tigerclaw away and punched him in the chest smilingly. She immediately shot back, “Oh, shut up! I’m just a little plumpy. Do you actually like the skinny me better?”

“No, I like you to be a bit plumpy.” Tigerclaw whistled. “At least, you look more like a girl.” With these words, he studied Sunflower up and down and said, “But you did change a lot, to be honest… I wasn’t even sure if it was really you on stage earlier.”

“Really?” Sunflower shrugged. “My hair has gotten longer, and I eat more, too. Didn’t you get bigger as well?”

“I work out at the construction site every day!” said Tigerclaw as he lifted his arm triumphantly.

“Sun…sun… Sunflower, wait for me.” Dawn pushed his way through the crowd, completely out of breath. “Hey, isn’t it Tigerclaw?”

“See? This guy hasn’t changed much. He’s as skinny as he used to be.” Tigerclaw also gave him a crushing hug and said, “Don’t tell me you ran all the way here.”

“Ahem… be gentle,” Dawn replied with a bitter smile. “The caravan offered me a ride. If Sunflower didn’t force me to come with her, I wouldn’t have bothered taking such a trip.”

“Are you a merchant now?”

“Just an errandboy.” Dawn scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

“He knows how to read and write.” Sunflower cut in while twitching her lips. “As he was a fast learner in the elementary school, a Chamber of Commerce hired him right after the exam. Now, he deals with accounting books every day and is living very comfortably.”

“I see. it’s good that you came. I’m happy to see you guys.” Tigerclaw laughed. “Let’s have a sip in Neverwinter tonight. We should celebrate Sunflower’s victory!”

“Sounds good, but…” Dawn looked around and asked, “Where’s Snaketooth? Didn’t he come for the competition?”

Sunflower’s heart suddenly started to pound in her throat.

She had wanted to ask the same question for a long time, but she tried not to look so eager. So, she turned to Tigerclaw and tried to sound as airy as possible. “I hope he’s not annoyed that you totally ditched him and went back.”

“Oh him… He went to build the railways at Misty Forest.” Tiger said drawly. “Although it’s well paid, the work is too dangerous. What’s the point of trading your own life for money? I don’t understand him. He used to be happy even with just living down in the drainage. Now he’s fussy about a real dwelling and insists on a double-roomed house.”

“Because a double-roomed house can provide a cozy home for a family rather than just a shelter,” thought Sunflower bitterly. Then she said, “He did so obviously for Paper.”

“Paper?” Tigerclaw asked blankly.

“Hey, how can you forget Paper?” Dawn nudged him in his ribs. “She’s our friend.”

“I know, but what does it have to do with her?” Tigerclaw was confused. “Paper has joined the Witch Union and is now living in the Castle District. She doesn’t need an extra house. And silly Snaketooth… he saw Paper many times but didn’t even have the guts to say hello to her. He even pulled me aside to dodge her. Now Paper doesn’t even know we’re here.”

“What?” Sunflower was stunned. “Haven’t you met Paper yet in the past two years?”

Tigerclaw shook his head off-handedly.

“Hahaha.” Sunflower grinned broadly. “Then he’s silly indeed!” For some reason, Sunflower felt much relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She had to fight the urge to jump into the air and whoop.

“Sunflower, keep your voice down.” Dawn reminded her while feeling a little uneased. “People are watching us.”
