Opening an orphanage in another world

[Inside Ice Dungeon]

[Elise point of view]

After receiving the report from our fellow siblings, we rushed straight into the ice dungeon, more specifically, towards the 14th floor from the Exchange Land side at full speed, but alas, those four had lost track of Brother Ash. They said that Brother Ash did in fact notice them, but that wasn't the main reason as to why he had to resort using invisibility magic to hide himself, but rather something else, something that was unknown, something strong enough to even destroy Brother Ash's right arm completely

With yesterday search yield unfruitful results, The Valkyrie, some of the adventures and us hope to find at least some clues as to why he was here in the first place, but alas

"Nothing" [Valkyrie A]

"We couldn't find anything as well" [Valkyrie B]

"How about you guys? Anything that catches your attention?" [Bladel]

"Unfortunately no" [Liyana]

"Same here. I don't think there is anything worth reporting on this floor as well" [Mile]

That is on the Valkyrie Line call, as for the other

"We finally able to use the ancient tunnel of the Traveler King to our advantage!" [Mara]

"Hehe, it's all thank to me!" [Farhah]

"That is true, but still..." [Zerolith]

"Our search yield no result as well" [Charlotte]

"We couldn't even contact the Yuki-ona and the Holy Beast of Water as well..." [Savel]

"If I'm being honest, it feels like they're not bothering answering our calls at all" [Singa]

"To each their own I guess" [Zerolith]

They also yield the same result as us Valkyrie, and as for the adventures side

"Nothing in particular here as well" [Lily]

"Same here. Nothing at all." [Kadeus]

"How strange" [Ray]

"I know this is Mr Ash we are talking about, but to leave behind no clue at all is still pretty impressive" [Muse]

"I just hope he's safe..." [Rean]

It rare to see Rean letting out a sigh, but you could see that he is tired, going extra mile to search for him. As the eldest among us heroes, as well as the "representative" of us orphans, he must feel it is his sole responsibility to bring back Brother Ash no matter what. A sentiment that we all share, but somehow, we can visualize him carrying most of the weight

"Birdie, Bobunny, any results?" [Elise]

~Sad screech~~Sad chuckling~

"Unfortunately no" [Kara]

"I guess even number wouldn't help much here" [Karon]

"Our aerial survey yield no results" [Kana]

""We tried various spell from all 7 elements of magic, as well as neutral magic. Even tried tapping into God of Death power, but..."" [Lara, Nara]

"As much as it pain me to do this, how about all of you call it a day. This is Ash we are talking about, if anything, knowing he is somewhere inside the Ice Dungeon is more than enough for now" [Diana]

"If only I can tap into Mother Earth power more freely!" [Farhah]

Princess Diana, alongside Mother Aries who been coordinating the search decided to call it a day, and given how neither of us can find anything, I think that is for the best as well. Further search will only waste our precious time and resources, something that we can channel into better activities, and one of it is

"I see, we will be making our routine round afterward" [Elise]

"Princess Diana did decide to make the wedding as something special, so everyone is in their festive mood" [Bladel]

"And you know, this kind of mood is responsible for spikes in crime... Can't those burglars and thieves find a better job..." [Valkyrie C]

"And worse... we are still not on the expected peak of crime, as stalls and attractions are not set-up yet" [Mile]

"Let just hope that nothing bad will happen, although I can't help but to get the same feeling as back then, during Princess debutante party..." [Valkyrie D]

"DON'T JINX IT!" [Valkyrie E]

True... Please don't jinx it. If anything, please make this a smooth ride, an extra smooth ride if possible. Not to mention

(There are still important guests that didn't departed yet, like Mrs Khamishah and Queen Rinz, as well as Demon King Druser and Beast King Leogris, but should they come, our schedule will be tighter than normal. With that, come extra problem as well) [Elise]

If anything, we still have Mother Aries, Saint Louis and Mr Seraph here to aid us, so that's something good

Taking the exit out from the Ice Dungeon, we greet the guard before going to our scheduled patrol. He seems extra happy, as he couldn't wait for the marriage event as he has a shift off that day and would like to see the event. Rean personally invite him after knowing it

"I'll make sure to come!" [Guard A]

"That means we will have to cover your ass!" [Guard B]

And they start bickering and laughing among each other

Well, off to work I go

"Let us do our best, Behe!" [Elise]

"Roar!" [Behe]

Behe uses his skill to become an a.d.u.l.t empress behemoth, and with that, we soar through Estel's sky and make our daily patrol. It has been a while since I make this patrol, and as such, Liyana, (who will usually stuck with office works together with Sir Crow and Sir Ceanu Reaves) and Mile join me on their pegasus

We will occasionally land on a big street to make a closer inspection

"You three seems happy" [Gizzere]

"Oh Mrs Gizzere, are those..." [Liyana]

"That's right. This is the event planner as well as the expected cost for this "festive wedding" they're having" [Cupid]

"If anything, we still have few missing financial report, so I am planning to head to the store myself and get the report" [Gizzere]

"You're retiree, but you're still active. I'm impressed" [Mile]

"Shall we go together?" [Elise]

"I don't see why not" [Gizzere]

Our first destination will be the stationary shop there, where I can see Kara getting some supplies for her job as a teacher. That, as well as for her "secret novel"
