《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 21: Achalasia Externa
Advertisement
Since Ram offer me to be checked by the guild's healer, I would gladly take the offer. As he said, the water behemoth might have healed me, but that was just a quick healing spell, so it's better to be checked by the professional, but can I really use the adventure guild services even though I am not one?
"Don't worry, Ram do so as a way to express his gratitude towards you, with the threat being eliminated, that mean the adventure, especially the new adventure can explore the dungeon without any unnecessary risk. So, just get yourself treated without worrying much" [Gizzere]
"I see" [Ash]
Well, that's sweet of him, but putting that aside, I'm surprised because Gizzere sudden mind reading doesn't surprise me anymore (but in a way, this still consider a surprise isn't? Well, no use thinking too much into it)
"Rean, and you guys, how about eating your lunch with me and Syah's party?" [Alice]
Alice, who is working behind the counter approach those kids, good call, that way I can get my treatment and discuss some important issue with the other, plus
(I see, so that Mr Nice adventure is Syah, better start remember his name, as for his party member, let just ask Rean later on) [Ash]
"Go on, eat first. Alice must be lonely, since you guys haven't come visiting her in the inn" [Ash]
I said that to encourage the younger group, the older group (Rean, Elise, Kara and Mara) seems to catch our intention and quickly persuade the other, they make a small dissatisfied voice, but they agreed to it in the end
"I'll eat with you afterwards, don't worry, see I'm still not hungry!" [Ash]
Just have to give them one final push, as I said that, I hit my stomach area lightly to emphasize my word when suddenly
~Groooowllll~
"Goddammit! Not now! Shu shu growling sound" [Ash]
"Godamit! Shu shu" [Charlotte]
"Ash!" [Diana]
"Sorry, and Charlotte that's a bad word, so once again please don't copy it" [Ash]
"Ok damit!" [Charlotte]
"Brother Ash! She still remembers those bad word!" [Elise]
"CHARLOTTE!" [Ash]
"Ouchhh! Sorry Sorry!" [Charlotte]
"Sigh... slowly becoming you" [Diana]
Well, after the pinch to the cheek, they eat together with Alice and Syah party, while I get myself treated, still, I remember the watcher will display your actions even after you are out of the dungeon for some time, so before having to striped to be examined, I look outside the window and thank goodness the watcher stop displaying me or else the whole country will see me naked. There are few fractures and organ damage but the healing spell from the water behemoth are still working, so the guild's healer decided to just accelerate those process before discharging me with a smile. Her smile kinda reminds me of my mother, who is a doctor. It's a nostalgic feeling...
And since there are no other injuries left, I am guided by one of the staff members to enter the guild master room, where the other three are waiting for me
"Sorry, I'm late" [Ash]
"Everything fine?" [Diana]
"Mostly, I'm pretty tough" [Ash]
"That's good to hear" [Diana]
"Oh yeah, where is Qis?" [Ash]
"Oh, someone interested with her" [Diana]
"Diana, I might be a walking angry bomb myself, but that doesn't mean I will be attracted to another walking angry bomb" [Ash]
"You are no fun, still to answer your question, she's having a fever and I forced her to rest" [Diana]
"That just leave those 12 hiding people then... ohh they aren't the same one as last time" [Ash]

"I'm impressed, still take care of those kids, they are a number of people getting this endemic seasonal disease" [Diana]
"I will, thanks" [Ash]
(An endemic disease, that's worrisome, wouldn't want those cutie pie to get one) [Ash]
With those light chat and the tea been served with some sweet, the four of us begin our discussion, with me bringing out the strange magic stone that I found inside the cave, explaining to them that those behemoth most likely use the portal created by this strange magic stone to go in and out from their den
"A behemoth den, if I'm not mistaken, there's a challenge dungeon in country of Az, it's on the bottom floor of the dungeon, so it's the most difficult part of the dungeon" [Ram]
(I see, so the traditional dungeon feature on game back on earth are called challenge dungeon here) [Ash]
"Still, if they really are connected, then what purpose do they have to connect the behemoth den to our country dungeon? I can guess a few reasons but I just can't follow their train of thought" [Gizzere]
"Well, that's if we are considering the old movement of the church responsible for it" [Ram]
"I checked some old documents regarding those group, there are not much information regarding them, but what I do know is that they are called as Achalasia Externa as they believe traveling beyond Achalasia is the only way to meet the goddess" [Diana]
"I see, but with not much information, what can we do?" [Ash]
"Well, both of us can ask the guild master of other countries, and Princess Diana can use her influence to gather information from noble and royal of other country for now" [Gizzere]
"Basically I am the useless one right now" [Ash]
"Don't you have any traveller friends who might know about this kind off thing?" [Ram]
"Nope" [Ash]
"I see, for now how about you ask Mr Claude more about this group, and if we find anything useful or if we need an extra help, we will called you for that" [Diana]
"Works fine for me" [Ash]
Since I just need to ask Claude, there's nothing much I can do, plus seeing those three doing their best when I had nothing to do is plain disheartening. Even though I just know them for only couple of days, I can confidently say that they are good people with good intentions, just make me want to support them. If only the three of them can become a direct mentor for those kids
And since we have nothing better to do, I should just excuse myself for now,
"Wait Ash, can you sell me the Zombie Spawning Block that you find the other day?" [Ram]
""A what!!"" [Diana, Gizzere]
"First, just how did you know about it, and secondly, no, I wanted to use it to train those kids" [Ash]
"I see, a pity but may I know how will you use it?" [Ram]
"You know that my house was fortify by Fortress defense magic right?" [Ash]
"Sorry come again?" [Ram]
"You know that my house was fortify by Fortress defense magic right?" [Ash]
""..."" [Ram, Gizzere]
"That is how father react when I tell him" [Diana]
"Sigh... basically I will integrate the Zombie Spawning Block to the Fortress defense magic, that way whenever those kids wanted to practice their magic and weapon skill, they can freely adjust the difficulty level and not even spending mana to adjust it since Housey will take care of those thing" [Ash]
"""...""" [Diana, Gizzere, Ram]

"What?" [Ash]
"You really are a genius magician, if only you agree to work with us" [Diana]
"Agree, plus the guild would love to have someone like you" [Ram]
"Still, can I see how you do it?" [Diana]
"Of course not, haha" [Ash]
"Oh, really..........." [Diana]
"Joking, joking... please don't make that scary smile" [Ash]
"Well, this seems interesting, can we go as well?" [Gizzere]
"Sure" [Ash]
and we finally closed our meeting, since I don't have anything better to do, I just when ahead and excuse myself, so that I can finally eat something, plus those kid are probably sulking right now... or so I thought, but it seems like the adventure are gathering around them, teaching them something. Such a nice scene, if only they are treated like this before I came, seriously, they are smiling and laughing to a stranger, far different from when I first met them. Oh, looks like they notice me
"Brother Ash..." [Rean]
"What is it Rean?" [Ash]
"Can I, become an adventure?" [Rean]
"!" [Ash]
