oOoOoOo
The first guest was a boy.
He wore a green suit and glasses. If Watanuki didn't know any better, he would deduce that he was seeing a little kid dressing up as a teacher. He was carrying a briefcase on his right hand. On his left hand was a magical staff. The boy looked too young to be wandering around on his own.
Watanuki watched Marudashi and Morodashi drag him inside in spite of his protests. The bell tinkled to announce their visitor.
"I'm sorry," said the guest with a polite smile "for intruding."
The hair in Watanuki's neck stood up when he heard Yuuko's soft and smoky voice coming from the backroom. "You shouldn't be sorry. You were meant to be here. There's no coincidence. There's only hitsuzen."
The red-haired lad stared at Yuuko with an open mouth. She became even more beautiful in her full regalia as the Witch of Dimensions. No wonder the boy seemed overwhelmed. "I-I'm Negi Springfield. Where is this place?"
"It's a shop that grants wishes," the dark-haired woman murmured. She leaned down to stare into her guest's eyes. A long candle-shaped finger reached out to touch his cheek. "You have a wish, mage. What is it?"
"I-I only want to find my father," Negi blurted out. "Can you help me go to him?"
Watanuki closed the screen door and sighed. The boy looked very young, around ten-years-old. He realized that Yuuko's voice was tinged with kindness when she spoke again. "The price will be high, boy."
The boy-mage chuckled. "I was expecting that… The Witch of Dimensions was not cheap, my teacher said. I'll have to find him myself."
"You will," Yuuko said quietly. Watanuki peeked through a crack. "No doubt you will."
"Thank you for your time," Negi said as he bowed. "I'll go now."
"Say hello to Evangeline for me." The Witch of Dimensions said as Negi was escorted out the door. She smiled at Watanuki who got out of his hiding place.
"You can't grant his wish?" he asked, confused. He thought she could grant any wish!
"His father told me not to," was the quiet reply.
Watanuki wondered inwardly what the purpose of the mage's short visit was. He started when she started to walk towards the sitting room. It was not unusual for Yuuko to not tell him things. She liked watching the events unfold by themselves.
"He needs reassurance from a higher authority. The poor boy is losing hope," Yuuko said as she picked up the black Mokona from the floor. She stroked its forehead and smiled mysteriously. "The price of that information was already paid for."
Then Watanuki remembered the old framed photograph in the storeroom that featured a young man and his friends. The man in question held the same staff and possessed the same facial features. Realization dawned on his mind.
"Where is Negi's father?" he asked, curious.
"In another dimension," replied his employer. Then she cackled. "I feel like I'm in the mood for some sake and snacks! Chop, chop Watanuki! I want a drink!"
Watanuki reddened with anger. He forgot about his preoccupation with the red-haired boy and stomped all the way into the kitchen, muttering about insane orders. It was his way to forget about the pain that usually accompanied the knowledge of other people's lives.
"Negi is a good boy," Mokona remarked. "He's well-loved."
"That's good," Yuuko smiled.
She remembered her brief encounter with Nagi Springfield when their future changed. He only asked for her to reassure his son that they will meet again when the time came. Then he paid with the only photograph he possessed of his little boy. "Nagi would be proud."
