August 9th: Special Delivery

I tried everything in the room to entertain myself. I tried to use Ashley's laptop, but is locked with a password, and I don't think Ashley is a dimwitted person. I explored my large suitcase to find any money that was lost, which I did, I found $20.15 USD in my big suitcase. There's nothing interesting on TV. I did my best to be entertained, but I'm not satisfied, yet.

The door knocks differently of what Toshi-san does, and I think I know who it is. I open the door and see an older tiger-man, in another words, Torahiko's uncle, the owner of the inn. "Good afternoon, Sullivan, sorry to bother you, but we got a call from Tatsuki, and Toshi-kun is waiting for you down the lobby." Ooshima-san said.

"Tatsuki-san?"

"Yes, and he wants to speak to you through the phone." He said.

"Alright then."

I walked down the lobby where Toshi is at the desk. He's holding the phone. "Oh, he's here." Toshi looked at me and hands over the phone to me. "Here, it's Tatsu-nii."

"Hello, this is Kelly." I said through the phone.

"Yo, Kelly!" He said.

"Hi, Tatsu-nii." I replied back. "So, what is it?"

"I got a letter from your family from Tokyo, looks like you happens to be our client!" he said and laugh.

"Client? I didn't order anything from you guys." I said.

"I said 'your family', not you, Kelly." He said. "You have to come over at our workshop, according to the instructions. 'Once this letter reaches here, we have to contact you.' Which you're staying at the inn, right?"

"Yeah... so... you're saying that I have to come over for further instructions?" I said, I'm still puzzled.

"Yeah, come over at the Midoriya Group..."

"Are you calling him?" A deep voice I hear over the phone.

"Yes, he's coming, Pa!" Tatsu-nii shouts at this supposedly his father I'm assuming.

"Okay, I'm on my way, Tatsu-nii." I said and handed over the phone to Toshi and ask him.

"Toshi-san, where's the Midoriya Group's workplace?"

"Oh, here's a map." Toshi just gave me a map of the village and the location of the Midoriya's place.

Did Uncle Henry, sent a letter to the Midoriya Group? I wonder what he wants, a new house? I don't know. But I do know that Henry is always going to local places aside from large companies, that's a possibility. I wonder what the VP told him to do.

I follow the map and head to the workshop. This is better be good. I feel a little irritated by my uncle about this.

I don't know how far it was, but it took me 15 minute by walking to the place. I walked to the main entrance door and knocked. The door quickly answers. "Kelly-kun, you here! Come on in." Tatsuki welcomes me and next to him was an older dragon-man, who is taller than Tatsuki, and has more teeth showing. Once inside, Tatsuki speaks. "Pa, this is Kelly, the one I been talking about earlier." He introduced me to his father.

"Is nice to meet you, Midoriya-san." I greet him and shake his hand.

"You can just call me Tappei." He said.

"Alright then. So, where's this letter you received."

"Right here." Tatsuki gives me the letter and read.

It says:

"-To the Midoriya Group-

Once this letter reaches you. Call my nephew who is staying at the Ooshima inn. His name is, Kelly Sullivan. He has to read this letter too, also.

It will be an honor for the Midoriya Group to build a statue of the 'Dragon of Light' for our 20th year anniversary of BlueCloud Pharmaceuticals. All the instructions are in the envelop. Once the statue is built, inform my nephew, Kelly, who will deliver to us at the end of August.

-From the Vice President's Assistant: Hendrix Kalvin Sullivan." It said.

After reading. I check the envelop and there's more papers, with instructions of how to build a 6 foot tall statue, and some photos of the statue how it look like. I handed the designs to Tappei-san.

"So, your uncle of yours wants us to build a wooden statue for his anniversary event." Tappei-san said.

"It sure looks like it." I have never felt so used.

"So how much is he going to paid us?" Tappei asked.

"I think I should have a word with him and see what's all this about." Earlier, I found the satellite phone that I found in my suitcase after my cousin requested me about their personal belongings. Now this is a good time to use the phone. "Will you guys excuse me for a moment." I said as I fetch the phone and make a call. I have a serious talk to the person that I'm now having a love-and-hate relationship right now. Holding... holding... he answers.

"Hello, this is Sullivan spea..."

"Hendrix Kalvin Sullivan! What's the meaning of this?! I just crashed here and now you're shopping around and telling me what to do in a middle of a situation that I'm still dealing! EXPLAIN NOW!" I lost my temper.

"K-Kelly... we-well... I-I thought it would be okay if you could do me a favor." He said.

I sighed. "Where did you even find them?"

"Well, my VP wants a statue for the special anniversary. I was browsing for this type of job and I found this one on the newspapers that was located in the village you are now staying at. And I thought, you can at least do something for me, a simple task and that's only I'm asking. So did you read everything what it said the letter?"

"Yes, I'm at the Midoriya's workplace. The carpenter is asking me how much you're going to paid them?" I said.

"Tell them, I'll paid them 'handsomely'." Henry said.

"Okay?"

"The only thing what you can do, is to visit them to see the process, that's going to be your job."

I sighed. "Okay, henry."

"I'm sorry for bothering you. Are you still struggling after your accident?"

"Something like that, maybe. But you got lucky, because I've just met the carpenter's son earlier the other day."

"Oh, so that makes things easier for you, huh, Kelly. Sylvia just told me that you made new friends there. You seem to be the most sociable kid in this family." He said.

As I calmed myself and this is not a big deal anyways, I said to my uncle as I sighed. "Okay, Henry, I'll call you later."

"Hey, are you using the satellite phone?"

"Yup, I'm using it at this moment now."

"Okay then, bye Kelly." He hanged up.

Turned back to the two dragons, but then in my front view I see another dragon, a female, a young horse-man, a young mouse-man, and an elder fox-man. They all heard my conversation, which I yelled in English at the phone a moment ago. Oops... sorry.

"Is everything all right, Kelly-kun?" Tatsu-nii said.

"Yeah, everything's fine, my uncle said to me that he's going to pay you handsomely, I think."

"Handsomely?" Tappei-san said.

"That's what he said and that's his decision, not mine." I said and continued. "He told me that I should come here to see the process and you have 'till the end of August. I will come here whenever I feel like it, and I'm not the one who is giving you guys a hot pressure time, so, take your time."

"Don't worry, Kelly, we will deliver the finest wooden statue that your uncle had never seen!" Tatsu-nii said with spirits.

"Can someone explain what's happening here? And Tatsu-nii, who's this guy? He sure looks a lot like Hiroyuki." The young mouse-man said.

"Oh yeah, everyone this is, Kelly, he's going to be our client for the rest of the month until we deliver him a statue for his uncle's company's anniversary." Tatsu-nii said to his fellow workers.

"A wooden statue? That would take a lot of..."

"Yes, we can do it, Akira!" Tatsu-nii cuts the young horse-man's speech.

"Don't yell at me, Tatsuki!" He yelled back. The two began argue and... this I so annoying.

"Hey! Knock it off!" I barked, they didn't responded.

"I'll take care of this." Tappei-san steps in and pulled their tails.

"YYYOOOOOWWWWW!" The dragon and the horse cried.

"That's enough you two!" Tappei-san said and released his grip and dropping them to the ground.

"Lets me guest, you two are frenemies." I said.

"Hmph!" The two replied to me and turning their backs at each other.

"I'll take it as a yes. Tatsu-nii, can you be nice enough to introduce your crew?" I changed the subject.

"Oh, sure!" He cheerfully said. He began with the horse and the mouse.

"These are one of the workers, Akira, and Chuukichi." He said.

The horse-man sighed, "How's it going."

"Is nice to meet you." The mouse-man said.

"This is Tetsuya." Tatsu-nii mention the fox-man.

"Pleased to meet you, young man." He said.

"And this is my Ma, Yukino." He mentions the female dragon.

"Nice to meet you, Kelly." She said.

"Come on, Tetsuya, we have an important delivery to deliver." Tappei-san said and leaves to the other room. Yukino-san also went to another room, the kitchen to be exact. Leaving me with Tatsu-nii, Akira, and Chuukichi.

"So... what do you mean I look like, Hiroyuki? He's Japanese and I'm American." I replied to him from the earlier question he said.

"I rarely see a human around, other than Hiroyuki." He said.

"Okay..., well time to go. I'll see you guys, whenever I feel like it, so my uncle is counting on me and the Midoriya Group. So, enjoy your new venture while I'm gone." I said to the three.

"Don't worry, Kelly-kun, we won't let you down!" Tatsuki said.

"Diner's ready!" Yukino shouted from the kitchen.

"Kelly, before you go, wanna join us for dinner?" Tatsuki offers.

"Well..." Before I could reply, my stomach growls. "Sure, why not?"

"Great! You can tell us all about you!" Chuuckichi said.

"Don't get near with our client, Chuukichi-kun." Akira said.

"Is not like I'm gonna bite." I said to Akira.

"No, is not that."

"You're saying that I should have some respect as a client?" I said.

"Yeah, pretty much, and also you are in a delicate condition after your accident." Akira said and I turned to Tatsuki.

"You... told everyone about me before I got here, right?" I said to Tatsuki.

"Uh... yeah." He said.

"Heh, what the hey. Let's eat." I said as I follow the others and take a seat.

So, I'm the honorable guest for tonight. They even toast for me, even Tatsu-nii referred to me as the client of the month. Good thing they handled their alcohol tolerances. I don't wanna get involved in a hangover.

A delivery from the Sullivan's? This is the most ambitious thing I have ever been involved at.
