《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 52: Treating others part 2

[Diana point of view]
[On the day of treatment]
"You guys are early" [Ash]
Ash said that as he greeted the four of us.
"The twelve of you can come in as well, just join us for breakfast" [Ash]
"..." [Guards]
He pointed out towards the direction of one of the twelve guards, and obviously they won't answer him
"Welcome Princess Diana" [Kara]
"Oh Kara, you are up early today" [Diana]
"That's because I know you will be here today" [Kara]
Kara hug me as usual, she's soft and cute, and her innocence smile every time we met is something that I really appreciate, and today
"Welcome Sis Qis" [Mara]
Mara hug her, and obviously Qis is startled by it, never thought I would see that kind of reaction from her
"Th.. thank you" [Qis]
"Someone confused" [Ash]
"She is" [Diana]
I get the feeling that Ash is the one asking her to do it. Don't get me wrong, neither of us can feel any sort of bad intention behind the hug, I guess Ash just wanted to remind Qis to be nice with his siblings and that's he ask Mara to do it
"How about us?" [Yefefiah]
"Yeah!" [Young healer A]
"Sure!" [Charlotte]
And there she goes, imitating her older sisters.
We then join Ash and the orphans for breakfast. Rafiah is there, as well as Alice, who come the earliest.
"..." [Qis]
"..." [Alice]
"You guys really have something going on, aren't you" [Ash]
""!!"" [Qis, Alice]
"Excuse me, is there anybody home?" [Liyana]
"Oh, it's Liyana!" [Elise]
"I'll get the door!" [Farhah]
"Let me join in as well" [Singa]
And Linda's little sister is here as well, now the two becomes more awkward. Oh god... somehow I feel little bit grateful that Linda didn't know about Qis and Alice here having good relationship with her older sister, and it's looks like she wanted Ash to teach her about magic

"Dad and Mom prohibited it, but if possible, I want to be like my older sister!" [Liyana]
""!!"" [Qis, Alice]
She said that as she reaffirms her intention about learning magic
"Sure, but sadly I will be out today, but you're free to use the training hall with them once the treatment have been done" [Ash]
"Is that so..." [Liyana]
Oww, she looks down. She must have look forward for this training
"How about I teach you after this?" [Alice]
"But you will accompany Ash for today right?" [Diana]
"I'll do it, Alice, you can just go and do your job" [Qis]
"Are you sure...? Last time you teach someone..." [Alice]
"It's fine, I'll do my best..." [Qis]
"Can we join in as well?" [Rean]
"Being teach by a royal bodyguard will be a much valuable experience!" [Zerolith]
"If you don't mind my strict teaching then sure" [Qis]
"Thank you, we will appreciate it" [Rean]
"I'll show my powerful sword technique!" [Savel]
"Me too!" [Singa]
Looks like Qis will be replacing Alice to teach them about magic. That's good. Plus, that conversation with Alice just now, I guess I'm the one that have been overthinking about it. It wasn't like it used to but it's not as bad as I think it is. I'm glad.
"Why don't we teach them some healing magic as well?" [Yefefiah]
"That will be good. We might not be as good as Ash here, but we can teach them a few things" [Young healer A]
"Can we?" [Kara]
"Sure you can! Rafiah, you will join us as well! Show those kids your talent!" [Yefefiah]
"Right... I will" [Rafiah]
"..." [Zerolith]
Is it just me? Zerolith seems not accepting Rafiah being here? Should ask Claude after this

After the long breakfast (as some adventures comes midway), Ash and Claude started to prepare the venue for us. Well, by preparing I mean just showing us the young healers work station, and those station have been prepared by Housey here.
"I see, so the training hall will be used as the treatment hall for this upcoming two days" [Samurai Jacks]
"Ram didn't tell you that?" [Ash]
"I guess the guild master would assume the adventure knowing about it already" [Alice]
"Guess it's my fault for not being more aware of this kind of thing" [Samurai Jacks]
"I should have told you that, sorry" [Syah]
Ash actually prepare quite a lot of things. For once, he alongside Farhah make most of the tables and chairs here so that the young healers as well as the citizen will sit comfortably. He also makes some beds just in case some of them needed to be treated while lying down. The final arrangements of it is then done by using Housey.
After making sure everything is prepared, Ash and Alice then went outside to start their investigation
"Take care" [Karon]
"You really want to come along didn't you" [Ash]
"..." [Karon]
Looks like Karon wanted to follow Ash to investigate the cause of the disease. No good, he will surely be exposed to the disease
"Come now Karon, let us help the other" [Diana]
"..." [Karon]
"Well, please take care of them" [Ash]
"We will" [Samurai Jacks]
Now he's sulking, can't be helped, his safety comes first
"Buy us some orange grass on your way home!" [Mara]
"Sure" [Ash]
And there they go. There are some time left before the treatment begin, so Qis uses this time to fulfill her promise to Alice just now.
She quickly draws her Rapier and taught them some fine arts of fighting while using both magic and weapon. All of us couldn't help but admire her technique. Even Jacks watch it with full concentration and listen to her explanation about the balance of honing both your skills weapon and magic skill simultaneously
"Sorry to interrupt all of you, but the peoples seeking the treatment already gather" [Claude]
"Let us get started then!" [Yefefiah]
"Alright let do this" [Young healer A]
"You want to help too?" [Rafiah]
"If you didn't mind us" [Mara]
"Of course not" [Rafiah]
"Come, we will teach you just like how your big brother taught us that day" [Yefefiah]
Among them, Elise, Kara and Mara are the one planning to help treating the patient. Charlotte is interested as well but his fine control is still lacking according to Claude and thus Claude didn't allow her to join in. Instead, she will be helping the others in the "menial" task like changing the water, providing the ORS etc. That's good then, that way the orphanage image will also goes up
As for me, I guided my citizen on the process. Where to sit and what to do when you're called. Of course Qis and others end up prohibited me on doing so, and thus here I am, just sitting here watching the entire process from the sideline alongside Liyana

Data Dragon Danika
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust. But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her? A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
