Walhart and Anna were currently walking in Walmart searching for someone who knew the location of a Wolfberg. The ex-conqueror was hoping that he would be able to get the red ax and leave as soon as possible since he did not want to subject himself to anymore torture if his next encounter with the Walmart employees are going to be anything like what he had to go through with Severa, Gerome, and Kjelle. However, as fate would have it, Naga didn't seem like she was planning on Walhart leaving Walmart so quickly. As soon as Walhart and Anna walked past the kids section, Walhart was hit in the head with a ball.

"Ouch!"

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for it to hit you!" The apology came from a high-pitched, green haired manakete.

"See? I told you it was a bad idea to be playing around with that ball in the store! Now put it back before you get me in trouble!" the red haired mage said. Ricken turned to Walhart and Anna. "I'm really sorry about that! Nowi here got carried away with playing around with stuff."

"Oh it's ok!" said Anna. "By this point old Walhart here is used to silly, random things happening to him! But since that ball was in proximity of hitting me, I am going to have to charge you for the 'I-just-nearly-put-Anna-in-danger' fee." Ricken and Walhart stared at Anna in disbelief.

"Sure! How much does it cost?" asked Nowi. "Will this cover it?" Nowi pulled out a Dragonstone from Naga knows where and handed it to Anna. The merchant simply stared at the youthful looking dragon.

"…Ehh, at least I can sell it" said Anna as she placed the Dragonstone in her bag. "So anyway, what are you guys doing here in the kids section?"

"I work in this section. Chrom said it was the best place for me to be!" Ricken replied happily. "I think he finally realizes that I'm not some little kid and that I'm as manly as he is!"

Walhart and Anna simply looked at Ricken. They pitied the young mage, who didn't seem to realize that Chrom was subliminally taunting him by having him work the kids department.

"So wait, Chrom is the manager of this Walmart?" questioned Anna.

"Yup!" Ricken answered. "Chrom wants to do everything he can to help Ylisse, so he decided to run this Walmart, but it's really starting to take a toll on him. I hear he's looking for someone to take over his position at the moment."

"Interesting…Maybe I oughta inquire about this position." Anna said with bullion in her eyes.

"You should! It's so awesome being in here!" exclaimed Nowi.

Walhart and Anna then turned their attention to the happy-go-lucky manakete, who for some reason wasn't wearing a Walmart shirt.

"Not that I really care or anything, but why aren't you in uniform?" asked Walhart.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Nowi looked confused.

"Don't you work here too?"

"What…?" She suddenly understood the question. "Ohhh! Nope I don't!"

"Wait, so why are you here with Ricken then?" questioned Anna.

"I just like playing with the awesome toys they have here!" Nowi happily replied. "But some of these toys are so difficult to figure out!"

Walhart, Anna, and Ricken all sweat dropped as they watched the green haired manakete struggle to place a square block into a triangle hole in one of the toys.

"Yea, so do any of you know the section where a WolfBerg would be located?"

"Hmm, I think something like that would probably be in the tools section, but you should find Chrom and ask him just to make sure."

"Hmph. Fine then. Where would Chrom be at this moment?" asked Walhart.

"No idea, but I last saw him heading towards the shoe department," Ricken said as he pointed straight ahead.

"Thanks! Let's go, Wal-heartless!"

"Don't call me that!"

"Good luck with finding a new WolfBerg!" yelled Nowi, who was now playing with a Jack-in-the-box.


Walhart and Anna continued walking until they reached the shoe department. Upon arrival, they were greeted by a certain clumsy, pink armor clad pegasus knight, who unsurprisingly tripped right in front of them.

"Ouch! Oh, these stupid shoes! Why am I always falling down?" Sumia sighed.

"I was gonna ask you the same question," muttered Walhart.

"Sorry," apologized Sumia as she stood up. "I feel like with every pair of shoes I wear, I just stumble around and trip."

Looking at the pegasus knight, Walhart and Anna noticed she was wearing a Walmart uniform.

"Wait don't tell me you work in this section?" Anna asked incredulously.

"Yup! I do! Why do you ask?"

Walhart and Anna shared a look that asked each other, 'What was Chrom thinking?'

Unfazed by the gesture shared by the two people in front of her, Sumia walked over to the shoe racks.

"So what can I do for you guys?" questioned Sumia. "Can I help you look for a pair of shoes?"

"No, we are not here for shoes. We are looking for Chrom. We heard he came in this direction. Have you seen him?" the former Valmese conqueror inquired impatiently, while looking disdainfully at the shoes.

"Yes! He was here earlier, but then he went over to the technology section. Chrom's quite busy today. He has to go around and make sure the inventory is fully stocked, since he's the only one in control of the convoy," Sumia explained.

"Sooo, he's not here anymore?" Anna asked.

"Oh…sorry. No he's not." Suddenly, Sumia perked up. "On the other hand, I can help you find some pairs of shoes that you guys might like! For example, over here we have—."

As soon as she turned around to move, Sumia instantly tripped and fell. Both Walhart and Anna dead panned. Anna walked over to Sumia and helped her up.

"Stick to making pies, Sumia. Stick to making pies."

Anna stuck her hand out and Sumia shook it. "Thanks for helping me up!"

"I don't want your hand, I want your money!"

"My money?"

"Yes! The fee for helping you up!" Anna said happily.

"Nothing is ever free with you is it?" asked Walhart, exasperated.


Sooo, I feel really bad about not updating for so long, but a lot of things have been happening lately and I've been stressed. I haven't forgotten about this story and it will be completed. The next chapter is already being written and hopefully it will be out by next week. I'll try my best to update more regularly from now on. On the other hand, I have a new story up called "A Colorful Character: The Scion of Legend", so check it out if you want. Thanks for being patient! Bye humans! :-3
