《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 84: At Estel part 2

[Rean point of view]
She just ignored me, and when straight ahead to Sis Rafiah. I try to block her by going in between them but
(Those eyes...) [Rean]
Its looks like she really is worried about Sis Rafiah, nothing more, nothing less. It's a conflict feeling I'm having right now, either letting her meet Sis Rafiah or for the sake of Sis Rafiah, chase her out. Still
(This is not for me to decide. If her friend do come to harm her, then all of us will chase her out, but here...) [Rean]
"Sis Rafiah, what would you do?" [Rean]
"..." [Rafiah]
"Rafiah..." [Old follower B]
"Give me a minute, I'll talk to her" [Rafiah]
"Are you sure?" [Yefefiah]
"Yes. We are friend after all" [Rafiah]
Sis Rafiah brings her to a corner and there, the two of them talks among themselves. We can't hear what they're saying but from the sound of it, her friend looks genuinely worried about Sis Rafiah.
"What should we do, Rean?" [Zerolith]
"Shouldn't we stop her?" [Farhah]
"I'm, I'm not sure about it..."(Farhah might not able to see it, but I'm sure the reason why other aren't that reluctant to let them talk are the same as mine) [Rean]
"For now, let them talk first. We will see how things go" [Claude]
"Right" [Other]
All of us here are worried, but let just placed some trust in Sis Rafiah.
"This is taking forever" [Mara]
"It is..." [Kara]
"I wonder what they are talking?" [Karon]
"Well, most of the time, they're just staring at each other and try to come up with words. It must be hard for them as well" [Elise]
"Elise is right, let us be patient" [Rean]
"Isn't it bad? Hearing something that other don't want us to hear?" [Charlotte]

"Charlotte's right" [Savel]
"What should we do?" [Singa]
"Patient" [Rean]
But it's taking quite some time for them to talk. Like Elise's mentioned just now, they're both having difficulty talking to each other, they're still some intimacy between them, if not, the old follower won't come here to see Sis Rafiah, but at the same time, that intimacy is being tested
When things settle between them, and Sis Rafiah friend decided to leave, all of us rush to her side. They're all clinging to her, like afraid of her suddenly leaving us all. Even Zerolith himself rush, guess he must be worried. He might not want to admit it, but his actions and words are contradicting when it comes to Sis Rafiah. Guess, as a fellow demon races, he can't help but to feel worried about her
"Is everything alright?" [Claude]
"It is, don't worry" [Rafiah]
"I'm sorry to ask, but what taking you so long?" [Gizzere]
"Nothing, she just ask me to keep myself safe. She did try and pursuit me to go back to the church but..." [Rafiah]
"Just like last time?" [Jacks]
"Exactly" [Rafiah]
"I see" [Syah]
"Like last time?" [Charlotte]
"You mean the time when we are using this hall as treatment room?" [Elise]
"You guys never tell us what happen actually during that time!" [Mara]
"Please tell us!" [Farhah]
"Well..." [Rafiah]
She looks reluctant to share it with us. Is it something confidential? Is it really alright for other to know about it. It really pique my curiosity but, I myself sure that's something that she don't want to tell to them, mostly because she didn't want to burden any of them
"Now, now. Let us give Sis Rafiah some time. I'm sure she's tired. Let us ask her next time" [Elise]

Elise must have felt the same as I am. I sincerely wanted to know about it as well, but that's not for me to decide. Should Sis Rafiah herself decided to tell us, then I will be more than happy to hear it from her, but otherwise, I won't. Still, like I mentioned, I can't stressed out about my curiosity being pique by this event, plus if Brother Ash was here, he would solve this problem in no time. I'm not as strong as he is, in fact, I can't even imagine myself achieving his feat of strength, but, at a time like this, I'm sure Brother Ash will dismiss us all and help Sis Rafiah afterward. He isn't around, so I got this feeling that I should do it in his stead, it might a rash move from my part, or I might be feeling little bit cocky after soloing a group of 80 zombies, but nevertheless, this is something that I decided to do, not for my sake, but for Sis Rafiah sake.
"Elise's right. How about we give her some time. We could always ask Sis Rafiah when she herself ready to tell us" [Rean]
"But!" [Farhah]
"Now now, Like Elise have said, I'm sure she's tired, how about all of you give her some time for herself" [Claude]
"Fine..." [Mara]
"Make sure to tell us!" [Farhah]
"Promise us!" [Charlotte]
They leave, only after Sis Rafiah smile and nodded. I'm sure she won't tell them yet as to not to worry them, and as for me
"You sure you want to know about this, Rean?" [Gizzere]
"I feel like I should do just that. If I am to become a saga but I can't even help someone important and close to me, then there's no meaning to it" [Rean]
"I'm proud of your reasoning. It sure feels like watching my own Grandchild growing" [Claude]
"Still, what actually happened? What takes you so long back then?" [Borg]
"Just like last time, she actually ask me about how I have been doing lately, and as I mentioned before, she might be telling me to come back to the church, but her eyes were telling a different story" [Rafiah]
"Did you ask her more?" [Jacks]
"I did, but she's reluctant to answer. Sorry that I couldn't be much of a use" [Rafiah]
"Well, The Princess did foresaw this to happen. Now, we just have to continue our plan as usual." [Jacks]
"What plan? I do know with Brother Ash not being here, they will all start moving, but this is the first I heard of a plan" [Rean]
"Rean..." [Syah]
"I slipped out those word. How careless of me, do forgive me" [Jacks]
"You could at least put up a better act" [Gizzere]
"Are you sure you want to know about it?" [Claude]
"Please, let me!" [Rean]
They're looking at each other, I wonder what they're thinking right now

Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring.

Obstinate Han
A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
