Chapter 2
Clock Town
As Mikau stepped through the gates into Clock Town, he was nearly knocked over by a group of kids running by. They were wearing white and blue, and he recognized them as the Bombers gang. They described themselves as a "Society of Justice", although the mayor saw them as nothing but a pesky nuisance. Mikau watched them run down the road towards the north gate. He heard one of them say, "Didn't you hear? That goron guy's back!!"
"You mean Darmani?" said another.
"Yeah, that's it!" said the first.
Darmani? thought Mikau. I thought he was dead!
He decided it was best to finish his business before going to see what was happening, so he headed for the Stock Pot Inn.
When he got there, he found that Kafei and Anju were both out getting supplies for the inn, so he took a look around.
In the kitchen was a chef. Strangely, however, he didn't respond when Mikau introduced himself. He appeared to be too into his work to pay attention to anything else, so Mikau showed himself the door.
There didn't seem to be anything of interest in the rest of the inn, so he waited in the lobby, where he fell asleep.
By the time he woke up, it was late, and Kafei was just getting home. Anju was nowhere in sight.
Mikau looked around, in a slight daze from his sleep. He saw Kafei entering the room. "Ah! Kafei! I have something for you…"
"Mikau? I haven't seen you since the carnival, how have you been?"
Mikau pulled himself to his feet. "I've been better…"
"I'm sorry to hear that," Kafei replied. "…Did you say you have something for me?"
Mikau handed the package to Kafei. "It's a wedding gift from Evan."
"Ah, I see. I should probably wait for Anju to get home before I open it then, shouldn't I?
"Yeah, probably. Where is Anju anyway?"
"I'm…not exactly sure. She said she had some business to do."
"Okay, well…I'd better be getting home."
"Actually," said Kafei, "it's pretty late. Maybe you should stay at the inn tonight."
"Yeah, that would be a good idea."
"Okay then. That'll be fifty rupees."
"Uh…what?!"
"Kidding, Mikau! Here, we've got a spare room, go ahead and use it for the night." He handed Mikau a key.
"Thanks." Mikau took the key and headed upstairs.
