Opening an orphanage in another world

_________________________________________________

[Bond point of view]

The four of us, together with the Valkyrie members sit down at the wooden chairs that are prepared by the Kiserre's soldiers. In a noisy environment, and not to mention with the sadness that struck us all, the sight of the old queen with graying on her hair somehow calm us all. In a situation where it is logical to vent out all of our anger to her as her son in responsible for all this, none of us could do it, maybe because of what had been told to us by Ash and Mrs Khamishah, or maybe because we are just too tired from all the emotional tolls

"Once again, my sincere apologies for all of you, I can't compensate much as lives lost isn't something that you could compensate with a mere case. Though, that doesn't mean we shouldn't" [Queen Rinz]

The Queen presented us all with a bag of money, but I could tell that we are getting more of it from all the other

"Please, accept it. Of course there are others that play their role as to bring out the light of true regarding this incident, but your action was one of the significant one, for which it ultimately brings the attention of the ruler of Estel with her princess, and thus, we are able to bring a closure to this incident" [Queen Rinz]

"Your highness..." [Elsa]

We can sense something in her. It is that of a ruler trying her best to correct back all the unjust that had been done by the other. Unlike us who only relied on the other, it isn't a nice feeling to accept the compensation, what's more when people in Estel will also help us to start over

"I'm sorry your highness, but could you please distribute this money to those who needed it the most?" [Kronbir]

"I was just about to say the same" [Bond]

"But why?" [Queen Rinz]

"We are getting help from those in Estel, and as such, I believe these bag of cash will be more useful to other" [Bond]

"Not to mention, our contribution aren't that significant, and even back at Estel, we can't help but to feel powerless when the orphanage is under attack. So, only getting pitied will not bring any changes in us" [Kronbir]

"There will be other who got it worse than us, so please help them in our stead" [Elsa]

"You really are a bunch of good people" [Queen Rinz]

We give back the bag of cash to Queen Rinz, but she insists on giving one of it to Cupid, saying that she needed it the most out of all of us, for which we agree to take.

After all the people in Estel have been reunited with the family members, we are ready to depart. Bringing the dead bodies of our families into the dungeon, we dig a large grave to bury all of them together, a tradition that is born from long ago, believe that when a disaster strike us all, those who are dead should be buried together as to find peace among themselves. Saying our prayers, all of us then begin to went back home

"Will we visit them again?" [Cupid]

"Let do it together" [Elsa]

"We wouldn't mind accompany all of you" [Valkyrie B]

"If we are free that is" [Valkyrie A]

"Thank you, but you have the princess to protect, so please prioritize her first" [Bond]

"Man, now I can see why Grandpa Karonlir sacrifice himself. Truly, from Ash to the princess, the young healers, the adventure and even the Valkyrie, they all help each other all the time, developing a sense of self sacrifice, and honestly, it isn't that bad of a feeling" [Kronbir]

"Now we have to do the same, but what could we do to repay them all?" [Elsa]

"Just find it together then" [Valkyrie C]

"We are family after from now on, so we have a lot of time to discuss" [Bond]

"I want to be the eldest!" [Cupid]

~Chuckle~

[Rean point of view]

"This mini bosses is a pain in the ass!" [Kadeus]

"Concentrate! If you guys wanted to become a high ranking adventure, you should be able to defeat them!" [Samurai Jacks]

"Right!" [Rean]

Who would have thought that the path we taken lead us straight to this floor boss. It is a group of ice antelope, no larger than your regular antelope, but they coordinate among themselves so well that it's hard to break their defense. Right now, the group of ice antelope form two circles, with the inner one to surround us, and the outer one keep on attacking us through ice magic. While the ice magic directed to us aren't that lethal, it will surely wither us down if done long enough. Master Jacks tries his best to protect all of us from the lethal ice projectile, but in the end, it is up to us all to defeat these group of ice antelopes as part of our training

"Rean, can you put up a darkness dorm?" [Lily]

"I can, you got any plan?" [Rean]

"Well, I was thinking, wouldn't it be easier for us to deal with these antelopes if they're attacking my illusion, rather than us" [Lily]

"I see, so you need Rean darkness dorm to prepare for it" [Ray]

"That's right!" [Lily]

"Lily, can I add something?" [Muse]

"Sure" [Lily]

I don't know what Muse is thinking, but it's enough to make Lily chuckling a bit. Why did I get a bad feeling about this...

As I use the darkness dorm to surround us all, Lily begin to gather her mirage mana and slowly, a human shape illusion take its form, and becoming larger and larger. I see, she's planning to make a giant, that way, the ice antelopes will instinctively attack upward towards the giant head or abdomen. A fine plan indeed but

"Just why is this giant a half naked Rean?" [Ray]

"Change it! Change it!" [Rean]

"No, this is my idea! So you can't just override it! It simply rude" [Muse]

"Master Jacks, please say something!" [Rean]

"As long as it works" [Samurai Jacks]

"Not you too!" [Rean]

"Rean, at the count of three, I'll make this illusion into that of a giant, so please disperse the dorm like it's being broken down from the inside" [Lily]

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I don't want the watcher to display me like that! At least put some clothes in it!" [Rean]

"3" [Muse]

"Stop!" [Rean]

"2" [Kadeus]

"Don't! I'm begging you!" [Rean]

"1" [Lily]

"You guys better get ready once this is all done!" [Rean]

~Boom~

I quickly disperse the darkness dorm, and the giant me comes out from it started to get attack by the ice antelopes

"Lily!" [Muse]

"Sorry, but I pity Rean should the watcher show him half naked" [Lily]

"Thank you so much Lily" [Rean]

"Lily really are nice" [Ray]

"Make sure you show me some nice illusion technique as a compensation! Use the famous succubus technique for that <3" [Muse]

"Haha sure sure" [Lily]

She really are something else... But enough chatting, with the ice antelopes focusing all it attack to the giant me, all of us quickly launch a surprise attack. In addition of the giant, Lily also wrapped us up in invisibility magic, making it harder for the ice antelopes to detect us, and slowly, one by one, the ice antelopes falls to the ground

"That's the leader!" [Muse]

"Rean!" [Ray]

"On it!" [Rean]

The leader is a little larger than the rest, and it boasts even greater ice magic as compared to the rest, and to top it off, it manages to detect my presence even when cloaked with invisibility magic but

"Take this!" [Rean]

Using Az's blessings, I strengthen my black fire up a notch as to bypass the hard defense of the ice antelope leader. It sure is strong but I am not done yet

"Darkness hand!" [Rean]

Again, by using my dark magic, multiple hands protrude out from the ground, holding the leader in one place

"Hand, burn him!" [Rean]

I then channel my fire magic into the darkness hand, slowly burning the ice defense around the leader, and to end it suffering, I slice the neck in a single swift.

"Nice job" [Samurai Jacks]

"Thank you master, but, it still suffer when I slit his neck..." [Rean]

"That just mean you have a lot more room to improve, and so does for the rest of you" [Samurai Jacks]

"Yes!" [Other]

There is a treasure chest spawn once we kill the leader. It's an ice resistance gear. We decided to wear it, and as for the rest (including the dead bodies of the antelopes) were stored inside my item box magic. It isn't as large as Brother Ash, but I'm glad I am able to use it

"Oh Rean, this item box will make it easier for us to move out together in the future <3" [Muse]

"Sigh..." [Rean]

"Poor Rean" [Lily]

"I actually started to pity him now" [Ray]

"Same here" [Kadeus]

"Well, let us how far into relationship they will go" [Samurai Jacks]

"Just like you and Receptionist Alice?" [Lily]

"..." [Samurai Jacks]

"Sorry sorry, I'm just joking" [Lily]

"That's taking things too far, but as a lady, I can say she's just playing hard to get" [Muse]

"Let just start moving" [Ray]
