[Kiserre's orphanage]

[Khamishah point of view]

Adoption. While things related to adoption does fall under the jurisdiction of orphanage, it's still a huge issue at this moment

This black cat lady here, she's without a doubt an honest person, someone reliable (as raising a pair of kids that can become an S rank adventure is no small task) as well as someone that I could trust 100% to take good care of Miriam. Plus, Ash and Mira themselves mentioned that a loving home with a responsible adopted parent is far better than an orphanage (though neither of them received any adoption request). Thing is, it's the matter of both Miriam and her race.

Kiserre's citizen are without a doubt, still holding a strong believe in the old teaching, and the fact that an old follower like this morning can emit an aura of disapproval even knowing I was there is rather unsettling. I can't be there for her 24/7, plus, I'm sure she doesn't want the same thing that happened to Manu, happen once more.

There's also thing related to her housing condition and her income. I do believe she can overcome it, but given how the situation right now in Kiserre, I would rather keep Miriam here with us, at least until she is economically stable

That said

(Looking at them, I believe she can overcome the hurdles) [Khamishah]

There's an old saying, one quoted by the God of Life itself, that every child and every creature have their own sustenance, and those sustenance will come to them in one form or another

"Am I, troubling you, Mrs Saga?" [Black cat lady]

"Can you give me some time? I'll need to discuss this with other" [Khamishah]

"Sure. In the meantime, I can always feed Miriam here whenever needed" [Black cat lady]

"Much appreciated" [Khamishah]

Better gets the paperwork and security measures ready. Hope her adoption will open a brighter future in social and racial standing here in Kiserre

"We're coming in!" [Lizard boy]

"Miriam!" [Green hair boy]

"Hey! Don't just barge in!" [Long hair girl]

Hope... I'll protect those hope

Seriously, Filvisar (aka Claude's master) is still alive. That mean, he surely knows what happen 100 years back, as she received the blessings of the ten heroes like Rean's and the other!

"Where... where is he?" [Claude]

"Claude..." [Ash]

He looks ready to burst into a stream of tear. It's understandable, a ghost is said to be a manifestation of one strong desire, be it a positive or a negative one. In Claude's case, he loves to serve his master family so much so that he became part of it. Then, the fallen god resurrected, killing them all in the entire process, leaving only Claude in the mansion while his master goes on the journey to defeat the fallen god. But, why didn't Filvisar comes back home once everything is finished?

"Sorry. I'm not sure. He did say he is doing an important role right now, for the next generation. That's all I know. Though, he is one of the reasons why the new teachin... no, the original teaching of Goddess Achalasia's religion resurfacing right now" [Rumia]

"You mean, he's teaching you?" [Ash]

"Yes, and Goddess Achalasia herself verify his teaching" [Rumia]

"I see... That's good then" [Claude]

"Are you sure?" [Ash]

"I am. He might have thought there's nobody left here in the mansion, so he decided to continue his research, though that mean" [Claude]

"Master Filvisar must had a research room somewhere else" [Calypso]

"True, but where..." [Claude]

"It could be anywhere. Literally. For now, I'll put up a request to the adventure guild, and we'll see how to proceed from there on" [Ash]

"I'll do it later, once I get back to the guild. Though, judging by what I heard, this is at least a B rank request" [Alice]

"That high... understandable, and thanks" [Ash]

B rank. There's only a bunch of them here is Estel, like the female elf adventure, and the ex-paladin female adventure. Samurai Jacks already an A rank adventure now, and we don't have any S rank adventure here in Estel. But, thanks to Diana's debutante party being made a public event, influx of adventures are to be expected and surely an adventure or two will be willing to take the request

"It is I, the second prince, name..." [Second prince]

"Elder brother?" [Zaidi]

"Sigh... a loud trash. I'm impressed he can come back after getting beat up by Mahsuri the other day" [Ash]

And what's even more impressive is that Mahsuri just couldn't be bothered about his presence anymore. Maybe that's for the good. I don't want my relationship with the royal family (King Estel, Diana and Zaidi specifically) to be tainted should that puppet of the old follower, the second prince get kill. That said

"So here is where the new saintess is. I am..." [Second prince]

"Alright, you have two options. One, after getting kick in the face by me, you will go back home all by yourself, or second, after getting kick in the face by me, and you still insist on seeing her, in which case I'll crack every joint and bone in your body, before feeding them to the stray dog. You have three seconds to choose" [Ash]

"Wait, don't you know..." [Second prince]

"3" [Ash]

"I'm the second prince... I am..." [Second prince]

"2" [Ash]

"Listen, For I am..." [Second prince]

"1" [Ash]

"Kyaaa! I'll remember this" [Second prince]

And he quickly run away. Well, I still haven't kicked him in the face, but I'll let it slide this time around. Don't wanna the twelve of them to copy it, and don't wanna ruin my reputation to the red hair saintess here

"I believe you will not kick him simply. You are even more respectable than those rumours. I'm proud of you" [Rumia]

"Well..." [Ash]

(He would totally kick him in the face!) [Other]

All of them are equally rude! I can tell what you're thinking right now! But, I'll let slide, getting a compliment from a cute red hair angel like her feel so nice. Goddess, why didn't you bless this relationship... Well, no need for the reply, the problem lies within me, I'm sure of it.

(True) [Goddess Achalasia]

(That hurt...) [Ash]

Usually, I'll say whatever, but the Goddess herself saying it, so that isn't something you can just slide off

"Why is the second prince running like there's no tomorrow?" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"You're..." [Elise]

"Huh... what bring you here?" [Ash]

"I have a small request to Princess Diana and Saintess Rumia" [Ex female paladin adventure]

((To us... that could only mean)) [Diana, Rumia]

"Please, made be your paladin" [Ex female paladin adventure]
