《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 279: Going to mermaid kingdom part 1
Advertisement
It's morning, and before departing to Kiserre, all of us gather around to have breakfast with the other. Grandpa Claude and Sis Rafiah actually makes Elise and I favourite foods and drink, and even cook extra so that we can store it inside Elise's item box magic. As we eat the breakfast, some of them who were from Kiserre ask us to give Mrs Saga some decoration that they make. That's sweet, even when they're apart, they still remember Mrs Saga who have been taking care of them tirelessly
The two of us, together with Mahsuri then went to the adventure guild. We thought to bring Behe with with us, but decided not to since it's better for Behe to stay here, protecting them together with Bobunny. Plus, having Mahsuri with us is more than reassuring enough
The adventure guild open early, with some of the adventures already taking request. Mother Aries and Kara are already waiting there for us, and so does Sis Diana, making sure everything is ready for the four of us
"As usual, I am quite reluctant to let you three go, and even Mahsuri went with you this time around, but alas, this is what we discussed six years back, not to let any country monopolize you, including me. So please, take care, and call us once you arrive at Kiserre" [Diana]
She is almost always worried about us, but her eye, it shows that she has confidence, confidence that we can prevail in any situation thrown at us.
"I already inform the adventure that will help you once you're in Kiserre. You just need to tell them once you're ready" [Aries]
"Thank you mother" [Kara]
After saying goodbye, we enter the inter-dungeon carriage, drive by Me Bond. This company has grown ever since six years ago, with cheap price and comfortable travel using the bus golem and camper van golem created by R&D of Estel

"Thank you for driving us there today, Mr Bond" [Charlotte]
"I just can't bring myself to let the other drive you around. So hop on" [Bond]
"Is it really alright for you to..." [Elise]
"Don't worry, I have been to Kiserre multiple times after that incident. Plus, you guys are far more important than my past" [Bond]
"If you said so" [Elise]
Taking the carriage with other people as well, the four of depart to Kiserre. Inside the carriage, we are welcome like celebrities, with parents feeling safe with our presence. The carriage will travel non stop, and will likely arrive at Kiserre before dusk. What used to be days of travel can now be cut short with technology
Of course, now, with devil rampaging around, and the wild monster becoming more and more active, even traveling using the main road carriers it own risk nowadays, but it is still safe, just have to depend on one luck. Should the devil suddenly emerge, the best advice will be to run as fast as they can. Some might chase after the carriage, some not. It totally random. That said, devil in the form of monster tend not to chase while those from the intelligence species like demon, beastman, human, elf, dwarf and rarely angel will, mostly to kidnap them and transform them into a devil itself
As the carriage take us closer and closer to Kiserre, all of the passenger, including us pray that the devil will not show itself, and true enough, there isn't a devil in sight. A good start to our journey
And before we know it, we safely arrive at Kiserre, with the four of us getting an easy entry to the country. We are grateful for this, as the guard just let us pass once they recognize us. They didn't even bother checking any sort of documents, but

"Tchh... Filthy beastman" [Guard]
"..." [Elise]
"Hey! Watch what you're saying!" [Charlotte]
"Charlotte. It's fine. Let us meet Mrs Khamishah straight away" [Elise]
"But!" [Charlotte]
"It's fine" [Elise]
"Please, excuse us" [Kara]
It always like this. She didn't even bother fighting back! Quickly saying goodbye to Mr Bond, I left the guard post with a distasteful feeling inside my mouth. Elise doesn't do anything bad, no, she always prioritize other before herself, so why did they still have to judge her just because she's from the fox beastman tribe
Once we enter the country, the sight of human everywhere is something else. The ratio of human to non human here is still large, and those from nin human, more of them are children or those with some form of disabilities. I wonder, what truly happen here six years ago
As night about to fall, the four of us wasted no time to search for the orphanage here. It suppose to be an old church, previously occupied by the old follower. It's been awhile since we last come here, so we are a bit lost, but
"You guys! Why are you here?" [Black cat beastman]
"It's Sis Kara and the other!" [Miriam]
It's the pair of cat beastman and her adoptive six years old human daughter. That female black cat, she's the mother of a pair of amazing adventure, the S rank sibling, Anjin and Kucin. If I'm not mistaken, the two of them are currently inside the country. Maybe they're currently taking some request from the adventure guild
"I see. Follow me then" [Black cat beastman]
"We will guide you there" [Miriam]
As we follow them around, we tell them regarding our business here, about the strange mermaids appearing the other day back in Estel and the event that lead us here. Once we finish our part of story
"Welcome! We have been expecting you!" [Nun C]
"Welcome to our orphanage!" [Miriam]
"Thank you" [Kara]
Being surrounded by those from orphanage feels rather natural for us now. We could afford some luxurious inn, or even ask the Embassy to help us regarding lodging, but nothing beats the sense of familiarity here.
"The four of you. Welcome. Just rest first, we already have room and beds ready for you, though I suppose one of you will rather sit on the couch, am I correct?" [Khamishah]
"If you would" [Mahsuri]
"Of course, I already prepared it" [Khamishah]
The talk between two monster lady. Somehow, the three of us feel rather chilly

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
