Opening an orphanage in another world

[At Estel]

[Muse point of view]

"Thank you once again for helping me out" [Muse]

"It's fine. Plus, they're the one that did most of the jobs anyway" [Liyana]

"That's not true"

"Plus, you're marrying Brother Rean, so that makes you our sister"

"Is that so. Then, I'll do my best to become the best older sister there is!" [Muse]

Thank goodness there is a storm yesterday, so I can use the storm as an excuse to cover up the real reason why the house that Rean and I will stay once we are married is in a mess.

I'm pretty sure this is my father doing, or at least by extension through him. I guess without Rean here, he thought that by sending some thugs to make a mess and send some threat (through some badly written letter) will make me sway and come to his aid. I must say, such a lousy plan. Even the pure Charlotte can make a better plan should she turn evil

(Well, in her case though, she will just turn this house into one giant ice cube) [Muse]

"Something funny?" [Liyana]

"It's nothing" [Muse]

"Could it be, you remember your dating time with Brother Rean?"

"That must be it!"

"Scandalous"

"Indeed. Scandalous indeed"

"You got me there" [Muse]

That's easier than to explain why I giggle just now, so let just go with it

After sending them off (and getting some really nice lunch from Claude), Liyana and I went back to our workplace. Along the way

"So, this is your father doing, isn't it?" [Liyana]

"That's true. It's rather obvious. Even if it wasn't him directly, it must be through some nobles that are jealous" [Muse]

"They really want to get those guys into their family aren't they" [Liyana]

"True. I can even imagine they breathe a sigh of relief when they heard about the wedding being postponed, but I'm sure that just makes them more desperate at the same time [Muse]

"True. Just like my father, they're desperate. Still, once this is all over, I also think of stripping my status as a noble and live freely just like you" [Liyana]

"In your case, it will be even more complicated. Since you're supposed to get married to the first prince. Plus, your connection with Rean and the other are practically like that of a sibling, which make it even harder" [Muse]

"True. Still, I'm just glad I somehow managed to avoid marrying him in the past six years" [Liyana]

"Princess Diana, Sir Ceanu Reaves and Sir Crow really helps you, aren't they" [Muse]

"True. Not to mention, my elder sister as well. Even the orphanage. How I still remember Claude, Rafiah and Kronbir together with the orphans lie when I take shelter there for a while. Running away from the trouble" [Liyana]

Ohh, that incident where Liyana almost getting punished under the pretext of "house arrest" for defying her family just because she doesn't want to get married... I still remember her elder sister furious face. If Princess Diana didn't stop her, I guess the first queen and prince are there no more. Now, she's taking shelter with Sir Crow. I'm glad Sir Crow and his family really take good care of her, without any string attached

Arriving at Diana's hall, the two of us quickly went to our office, with Sir Ceanu Reaves and Sir Crow waiting for us

"There you are Muse" [Ceanu]

"Please, take a seat first" [Crow]

"You guys really are quick. I didn't even tell you anything yet" [Muse]

"True. It's frightening, but I'm glad that we can rely on you" [Liyana]

I wonder, what will they do? Have they come up with a plan?

[Adventure guild of the new headquarters]

[Kana point of view]

All of us sit together inside the guild master office (minus Seraph, as he actually get a hangover from drinking late last night). The guild master, he's similar like Paladin Aries. Both being an S rank adventure while also holding the title of guild master. I guess the two of them are more comfortable with desk life. Still, that doesn't make them any weaker

"You two sure are close" [Samurai Jacks]

"The guild master and I? The two of us go way back in the past" [Saint Louis]

"True. Louis and I here are practically buddy. There are also Faris and Faizi where we..." [Guild master]

"Gilbert, we better not stray too far from the topic now" [Saint Louis]

"Gahgahgah, my bad my bad" [Gilbert]

As someone with a big and muscular body, his face is that of a friendly guy, one that actually put us all at ease the moment we met him. If I have to pick something to describe him, he's like a big teddy bear. Yes, that actually suits him very well even when he's a human

While Saint Louis and Saintess Rumia are consider the two pillars of the new headquarters, he's not far behind. I get this feeling, that he actually supported them, especially Saint Louis during the hard time of this country. Just like the two pillars, you can tell how the citizen of this country adored him

"And you're The Blade of Wind, Samurai Jacks, am I right?" [Gilbert]

"That I am. It's nice to meet you" [Jacks]

"Gahgahgah, such humbleness! I already like you. And this twin here, they're the one having the same power as the behemoth slayer, am I right?" [Gilbert]

""That's correct. Nice to meet you"" [Lara, Nara]

"Nice to meet you as well. Now then, that means you're Kana, Kanji, Seo Ah and the vampire girl there, Alicia" [Gilbert]

"What the..." [Kanji]

"We haven't introduced ourselves yet" [Seo Ah]

"How did you know?" [Alicia]

"Gahgahgah, don't be surprise, I did hear about all of you here and there, and being in my profession for so long, you can kinda guess which is which even when you first meet them" [Gilbert]

"Kinda like how King of Malsia does" [Kana]

"I guess a king with a good eye will be able to do just that" [Gilbert]

He continue to ramble on and on about it, before

"Gilbert. Don't stray too far away" [Saint Louis]

"Gahgahgah. My bad. Now then, let us get to business, shall we" [Gilbert]

(((At last...))) [Alicia, Kanji, Seo Ah]

He then bring out the map, before

"Sorry, I'm late" [Seraph]

"No. You arrive just in time. Please, have a seat" [Saint Louis]
