Opening an orphanage in another world

[Elise point of view]

Savel and Charlotte, from what Sis Rafiah and Yefefiah told, they're currently experiencing mana intoxication. The two of them are currently experiencing high fever, due to their body constantly experiencing absorption and rejection of this external mana.

~Heavy breathing~

"Just hang in there" [Kara]

"Their fever, it still haven't reduced..." [Mara]

Like the two of them say, Savel and Charlotte are still struggling to fight the fever.

"Brother Ash..." [Charlotte]

"Where is he?" [Savel]

"He's coming, he will come!" [Farhah]

"That's good" [Savel]

"Hope he will brings us something delicious" [Charlotte]

I don't know whether they believe in what we told or not, but that's for the best. Some of the adventures voluntarily went to Kiserre to inform Brother Ash about their conditions. But, going there alone is one thing, finding Brother Ash itself is another issue, and even if they manage to find him, it will create another issue itself as he will definitely rush back, leaving his job behind. I'm happy that he will do that just for our sake, but at the same time, I'm afraid of the consequences that will follow shall he did that

(No, Savel and Charlotte, they're way more important!) [Elise]

But...

"Charlotte, Savel, hang in there!" [Cupid]

"Time to change their clothes" [Elsa]

"I'll help, Elsa, you take care of Charlotte" [Bond]

"I'll prepare some water, so that we can reduce their temperature" [Kronbir]

The four of them, their families are still there, getting caught by those in Kiserre. Especially Cupid, I don't want her to become an orphan like us... it's just a painful life

"It's night already, let them have some rest" [Claude]

"Can we stay?" [Karon]

"Can we?" [Singa]

"Only until they fall asleep, then you guys should sleep as well" [Claude]

"Yes!" [Other]

Well, we should all accompany Savel and Charlotte

As we keep on accompanying those two, telling stories about an old tale, about some distance fairy tale that my parents use to told me, I notice that the icy bluish dragon tattoo mark on their head started to glow brightly once more (Savel having the bigger and brighter one as compared to Charlotte), and that would mean

"""Heal!""" [Elise, Kara, Mara]

""Ughh..."" [Savel, Charlotte]

"Here some extraction potion that we made" [Young healer A]

"Here, let me give them" [Yefefiah]

"Same here, you guys continue using the heal magic" [Rafiah]

"""Right!!!""" [Elise, Kara, Mara]

"Zerolith, we will cast some blind magic to them, that way they can fall asleep faster" [Rean]

"Ri.. Right!" [Zerolith]

"I'll use some wood magic and make some flower, will that help?" [Farhah]

"Of course it will help" [Elsa]

"What are you doing Mr Claude?" [Young healer A]

"I'll use my illusion magic, showing them a pleasant scenery, that way I can distract them from their fever" [Claude]

"If only I can help more..." [Kronbir]

"It's fine, this is way more than enough" [Claude]

"But..." [Kronbir]

As we keep on treating Savel and Charlotte, the tattoo mark begin to... disappear?

"It's integrating into their bodies!" [Rean]

I see. Will this spell disaster for them? I can only pray that it isn't.

"Looks like they're asleep" [Bond]

"Thank god" [Yefefiah]

"You guys should go to sleep as well, I'll take care of them" [Claude]

"But!" [Singa]

"Singa, if you keep on bothering them, their fever won't come down" [Elise]

"She's right, you love them, don't you? So, let them rest properly" [Elsa]

Poor Singa, he is the closest to the two of them, so it only natural that he will be this worry, but it is for their own good, so it can't be helped

As we step outside, Sis Rafiah and Yefefiah begin to tell us what they think have happen

"That tattoos mark must be the cause" [Young healer A]

"I can't say for sure, even Princess Diana, Mr Flinar and the other are flipping through the book just to rule out the causes but..." [Yefefiah]

"It's highly probable" [Rafiah]

Just what is it, it suddenly appears on them, and if I have to falter a guess, Rean would

~Slam!~

"Rean! Zerolith!" [Kara]

"What the hell do you think you're doing to Rean! Zerolith!" [Mara]

"SHUT UP!" [Zerolith]

"!" [Zerolith]

Zerolith shout, and Grandpa Claude quickly comes out from the room. Mr Bond tries to stop Zerolith but

"Oi Rean, you know something didn't you! Just what is it that you have been hiding from us!" [Zerolith]

"That's..." [Rean]

"Answer me!" [Zerolith]

"Zerolith! Calm down!" [Karon]

"The two of them are still sick! You will wake them up!" [Claude]

"But!" [Zerolith]

"Sorry Zerolith..." [Rean]

Rean quickly loosens the grab, and escape

"I can't... at the very least, not now..." [Rean]

"Rean..." [Elise]

"Damn it!" [Zerolith]

Zerolith storm off to one of the empty rooms. Sis Rafiah follow suit

"Are you sure?" [Mara]

"At least I can just hear him out right" [Rafiah]

"It's alright, I'll do it, so please take care of the two" [Claude]

"All of you go back to your room, it's night already" [Bond]

"But..." [Kara]

We look at each other, look at the room on which Savel and Charlotte are resting, and then

"Rean, is it something that you really can't tell us, no matter what?" [Elise]

I just have to ask. All of us have known each other even before Brother Ash come, so I believe we shouldn't be so secretive among ourselves, at the very least, that's what believed, but

"Sorry, one day, I'll promise Brother Ash and I will tell you guys in the future, so please, be patience" [Rean]

"Fine!" [Mara]

And now Mara is the one storming off, we Kara just behind to calm her down

I guess Rean really won't tell us anything. That's too bad, but I guess he must have his own reasoning. I won't blame him but that doesn't mean I am satisfied with it, in fact, I'm far from satisfied, even downright disappointed with him
