I wondered if I could use the fact that I’m in the AA records to mend my relationship with Vice Daddy. The more I thought about it, the more I started to think that I should leave it like this. He would just try to push me to A-rank if I did. I didn’t even know where he was based. I can’t return to Ainahs and the Igrini Kingdom is an even shittier place right now so I decided to look through my private messages. All the expired requests had a date from before everyone forgot about me.

  I found a short message which said. ‘We need to talk.’ Sender: Giana Kahlua. I got shivers through my spine. Why does this sound so intimidating? Another message from Noelle, ranting about how reckless I am and that they were worried sick. Yvonne had a short, sweet message. Why can’t they be like Yvonne.

  I also had a strange request. It was sent last month. It only said: Who are you?

  That is a strange description for a request. I decided to accept it since I was curious too. It was sent by Tania Pashern. I don’t know anyone by that name.

  Excuse me I came to accept this request. Can you tell me about this Tania Pashern?

  “You must be a new adventurer, wait, you aren’t. Hmm you seem to have been missing for over a year. I guess I can’t blame you.” The clerk pointed at the wall of missing adventurers. My face was on it again. Toxic Donkey’s face and Io’s face were also on it.

  “Tania Pashern is the vice president of the AA,”

  Huh? Since when?

  “About 7 months ago. Her father handed his position over to her.”

  He had a daughter? I always thought he had a son.

  “He doesn’t have a son as far as I am aware of. Oh, lucky you. There she is. Tania! I found the Silver Torrent!” The clerk waved at a woman with light purple hair tied in a bun.

  “Good! You’re coming with me!” Tania walked over to me, grabbed my wrist and started to drag me toward the elevator.

  Huh? Hey wait!

  Tania dragged me up to Vice Daddy’s office and closed the door.

  “Can you explain why your adventurers name and your real name are constantly mentioned in my diaries?” She opened up to what I assume was a diary and showed some underlined names.

  Uhm. I would like to know too. Since when did your father have a daughter?

  “Yes that!” She flipped some pages and pointed at another line in her dairy. I seem to have said something like this before.

  Are you a stalker?

  “I am not a stalker! Now explain to me why you’re in my diary, but I can’t seem to remember who you are?”

  The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Amnesia?

  “A serious answer please… my father seemed to like you a lot, but he also can’t remember you. And I don’t think it’s his age.”

  Well, I guess I will tell you the same as what I told Barusu.

  I told her a similar story, but instead of how I sold rubies, I also told her about how I met Vice Daddy in Ainahs.

  “It also says here that I faced a humiliating defeat by you in the C-rank assessment.”

  Huh? Ohh wait! I remember! You’re Daddy’s girl! Yes!

  I dodged a couch pillow. “It seems you’re not an imposter, you are exactly as described in my diary. I am inclined to believe you because I’ve reread them several times, but none of the parts that talk about you make any sense. You always disappear or get into trouble. You’re still on top of the list of high-risk adventurers.”

  Oh, that reminds me I forgot Healerguy. But this is for the better.

  “Rubert? I will relay this information to him.”

  Wait no! that’s not necessary! I ehh I already have a healer yes!

  “Oh really? Who is it?”

  Giana Kahlua!

  “The idol? Hmm that’s hard to believe, but I won’t write it off yet. But she is Ruberts pupil so he still has to know.”

  Why…

  She pointed at me as if she was declaring war on me. “To get back at you bullying me for years!”

  What? It’s you who always bullied me!

  “Well, I can’t form a party now because I am the vice president now, but I reawakened my desire to go at least on one adventure with you.”

  What is the point of everyone’s memory getting wiped if all my old problems resurface…

  “People don’t just change because they lose their memory, their interests and desires will still stay the same.”

  Wow, look at her, Daddy’s girl is all grown up now to say deep lines like that.

  I dodged more couch pillows. “At least that explains a lot now. I won’t go easy on you, though!”

  You never did!

  I dodged more couch pillows and left the office.

  “And be careful next time!”

  It seems this is fixed? I feel drained. Talking to people isn’t really my thing. I do vaguely remember Vice Daddy saying that Tania would be taking his place soon. I guess he got tired of all the shit going on in the world. I don’t blame him though.
