Opening an orphanage in another world

Wow... Simply wow. I know that they're the ten heroes, and they literally defeated me and save me from the clutch of the Fallen God, not to mention the few sparring session that we have just to get myself back to my performance, but wow, simply wow

"Are you still astonish by their growth?" [Aries]

"I am. Feels like my honourable position as their big brother have come to its end" [Ash]

A bit of flashback might help. You see, when we were surrounded by an army of Doppelganger which we assume coming from the mountain nation (a neighboring country of Lyrue), Zerolith, Farhah and I start the first attack, and them, without any sort of discussion, jump straight into the action, with Rean naturally taking command. They split themselves nicely, with the front assaulter, middle support and back sniper, you get the picture, and it wouldn't take long for us to gain back the upper hand, even with the overwhelming disadvantages in number we have.

Rean with his dashing leadership and strong gale of wind accompanied by darkness fire, charge through and lead the front of the battle. Elise with her Evolved beastly transformation: mythical nine tail fox that cinder everything all the while riding the Empress Behemoth of ours that is Behe. Zerolith with his dark mana zone couple that consume all couple with his newfound mirage magic from Fairy Queen Titania.

Kara, like her mother, gracefully support the entire squad throughout the entire battlefield with her wind and earth magic, while Mara, equally gracefully slice her opponent with a knife on one hand and a lance in another hand. Lara and Nara which is like the better overall version of me, greatly utilizing all sorts of elements, even taking account of terrain and height advantage.

Karon, with his specialize hammer that crack through the mountain, together with Farhah, which albeit the lack of plant, uses her Avery power to gain back the fight. Those two basically provide the mean to fight the overwhelming number of opponent.

Singa with his wind and space magic pushing the enemies as far as he could just to keep us safe. Savel with his ever better dragonewt transformation cleave through the battlefield and Charlotte... Basically Mahsuri in the making, well, a teenage magician version of Mahsuri that is. They all coordinate beautifully.

Plus, even when Rean was the one taking command, Diana also naturally pitch in as well, utilizing Linda, Qis, Alaric, Aries and even Muse and Sachmis to her advantage. Those two coordinate so well, that I thought they have their own fair share of battle together. True, Rean is in the front giving command, but that doesn't mean Diana that was watching and supporting from the back. Her outlook on the entire fight as well as her sharp thinking help us save all the times and energy for this otherwise long battle

Linda with her powerful space magic that kept us from harm. Qis, with her beautiful swordmanship that rival Rean and Jacks, whom both are widely respected as one of the greatest swordmaster. Alaric, with his ever better assassin skill that quickly dwindle down the number of opponents. Sachmis, with her noble heroic knight like action, with each shout encouraging the allies while scaring away the opponent, and lastly Muse, keeping everyone in check with her support spell from a far

"Well, you aren't the only one. I feel so useless in this battle as well" [Sachmis]

"You two don't need to be so hard on yourselves" [Diana]

"True. In a sense, you both just wake up from your long deep sleep, so it's logical that you felt left out behind" [Aries]

"Sigh... Appreciate it" [Ash]

"Your sigh, it's not only due to your feeling of powerlessness isn't it?" [Muse]

"Saw right through me didn't you. Well, I still can't find myself to let them go and fight the fallen god... Even when they're having a better chance than I am" [Ash]

That's still a fact. I just can't no matter how hard I try, but looking at them now, it feels both easier and harder at the same time. It's complicated, that's the best way for me to describe my current feeling

"Done" [Alaric]

"That was quick" [Charlotte]

"So, what did you get?" [Diana]

"Well..." [Qis]

From the interrogation that was done to few survivors by Alaric and Qis, they concluded that the Mountain Dungeon, just like Lyrue, is being overtaken by The Meddling Third Party, albeit...

"Not all hope is lost" [Long Hair Girl]

One of the orphanage from Kiserre, whom we met just after the battle, told us her side of the story. We just naturally stumble with them, after they departed from Mountain Nation for some business. I'm glad that I am able to see them again, and looking at them now, they're equally reliable like Rean and the other

"There are quite a number of us orphans there, and we also found out regarding the resistance group made by the indigenous people there" [Rabbit beastman]

"True. If you guys can take advantage of it, you can just enter and leave the Mountain Dungeon" [Elf Girl]

"Though I'm sure they would appreciate your help to liberate the country from the meddling third party" [Dwarf trader]

"That seems more likely" [Elise]

"What do you think we should do?" [Charlotte]

"Helping them have its own merits, but at the same time, we are short in time as well" [Rean]

True. For once, every second pass means that the danger surrounding Rafiah, Seraph and Druser will increase, but like Rean said, helping them will bring us several benefits

Liberating the country from The Meddling Third Party means that for one, we will have a temporary safe place to rest, as well as getting the overall better picture of what's going on inside Lyrue. But at the same time, those Meddling Third Party will surely knew our exact location, which might spell more trouble

"Diana, decision all yours" [Ash]

"Agree. We will follow what you have to said in this matter" [Zerolith]

"Well..." [Diana]
