《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 274: Marriage
Advertisement
After finishing the class, I went to Diana's hall, to see how Saintess Rumia is currently doing. I don't have anything in particular to do as a royal court magician today, so I thought a little bit of strolling would be nice. Plus, even though those siblings of ours should be capable of going back to and fro from the school by themselves, I feel responsible to bring them back home today, and as such, I should just kill some time while waiting school to finish
Since the school and the hall isn't that far, I decided to walk there. The lush colour of elemental tree really cause a soothing effect to those seeing it. Brother Ash might planted it back then as a security reason, but no, it serves as sort of garden as well. It nice smelling flower, the sight of fairies playing around and the fresh air they give, it feels heavenly
"Charlotte. Going for a walk today?" [Kebab stall owner]
"I thought of going to the church" [Charlotte]
"I see. Take this kebab. All on me kid" [Kebab stall owner]
"I'm not a kid! I'm twelve already!" [Charlotte]
"Baaah... Still a kid. Plus, as long as you keep imitating your brother, I will treat you as such" [Kebab stall owner]
"Grr..." [Charlotte]
As much as I am angry, his kebab taste delicious, and I have been eating his food since I was a kid, so it should be wasteful to rejec...
"It's delicious! Yummy!" [Charlotte]
"There's the cute everyone love" [Kebab stall owner]
"I'm noth aa kidh" [Charlotte]
"Slow down, don't talk while you're eating" [Kebab stall owner]
Saying my thanks, I quickly went to the church, and just as the church session finish, I can see Saintess Rumia, Sir Crow, Sir Ceanu Reaves, Linda and Liyana discussing something. I thought of just waiting at the back until

"Charlotte, just come here and join us" [Liyana]
"Alright. What are you discussing?" [Charlotte]
"What else. Alice and Jacks will get married next month, and so did Rean and Muse. We are discussing about what should we give them as a wedding gift" [Linda]
"Have you thought of anything?" [Rumia]
While everyone seems older (except the minion of God of Death, Linda of course), Saintess Rumia still retain a bit of her baby face, making her ever so popular among the men. Well, she's still oblivious just like Rafiah. Still, the horizontal scar on her face, she could easily remove it when she got it six years ago, and yet she insisted on keeping it, calling it her reminder of how incompetence she was. I wonder what really happened six years ago
"I actually don't. I thought of just looking for something valuable inside the dungeon, but..." [Charlotte]
"Princess Diana still worry about you getting kidnapped by other countries? Make sense. You're youngest among them, so they would think you're an easy target" [Crow]
"We have put a pressure on them politically, but at the end of the day, there's so much we can do, that's on a paper" [Ceanu]
That's too bad. I thought everything will be fine, but maybe I am still a naive little girl inside...
"I'm free today. How about all of us girls take a stroll on the market today?" [Rumia]
"I WANT TO JOIN!" [Charlotte]
(That's easy, to lift her mood in an instant) [Linda]
And thus, the four of us went to the market. There are so many cute accessories that I want for myself, but...
(Money... If only I didn't spent that much money on sweets and baking powder) [Charlotte]
Plus, if I buy them now, I will not have enough money to buy anything nice for their marriages. Ohh

"Charlotte. Here is some sweet for you" [Liyana]
"Thank..." [Charlotte]
(Hmm? Usually she will be joyful when receiving sweet. Is something bothering her?) [Liyana]
What should I do. I should save up money but at the same time, I really want that expensive looking hair clips. Its nice and cute! Maybe I could buy a matching pair for Principal Alice, Muse and myself, that way I can kill two birds with one stone!
"Alright. It's decided!" [Charlotte]
"You can't buy hair clips for marriage gifts" [Linda]
"WHY NOT!" [Charlotte]
(So that's what bothering her) [Liyana]
"Well, you can, but what will you give Rean and Jacks then? Isn't it a bit unfair if you don't give them anything?" [Linda]
"Right..." [Charlotte]
Guess I am the one to be blame for the sweet shopping spree. Salary as a court magician is good, but as a "minor", Sis Rafiah is the one responsible for managing it for me. Good call, but now I don't have the money to but this thing. Maybe I should beg her like the other day to withdraw some of my money, but, I might ended up getting scolded by her since I'll probably ended up with sweet shopping spree once more... My final option is begging Sis Diana to let me dive into the dungeon freely in search of valuable loots. Maybe some treasure turtle will be nice.
"Charlotte, Liyana. How about the three of us buy this matching hair clips? It's on me of course" [Rumia]
"I can pay on my own, but I'll still buy it, how about you Charlotte?" [Liyana]
"I'll buy it on my own as well..." [Charlotte]
"Ohh, but just the other day, you went on your sweet shopping spree, do you still have money to buy it?" [Rumia]
How did she found out! As I beg her not to tell Sis Rafiah, she agreed to is so long as she's the one buying it for me. I guess I have no choice but to accept her gracious condition. Plus, I really want that hair clip.
"Oh Charlotte, fancy meeting you here. You wouldn't happen to come here to vis..." [Fancy looking noble]
"NO AND BYE!" [Charlotte]
Urrrghhh! That irritating noble has to be there! I don't know what face I make, but I'm sure it a face of disguise as I storm out of the shop, leaving the three of them behind. I can hear the saintess preaching to that idiot pervert noble, who keeps on sending marriage proposal to me, ever since I was 7! If anything, I feel like blasting his face with my water cannon magic! Or maybe ask Krakeny and Tyrant Megalodon to snap his neck and chomp him into pieces!
(If anything someone Like Zaidi... No. He isn't that good as well!) [Charlotte]
Plus, we are talking about Rean and Principal Alice wedding, not mine!

Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
