《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 298: What will I do with this? Part 1
Advertisement
"Ummm..." [Charlotte]
This is a serious matter. I know for a fact that this thing belongs only to me, and I can do whatever I want with it, but with so many possibilities, it basically becoming impossible for me to decide what I should do with it
(Maybe giving Sis Diana this thing isn't a bad idea at all...) [Charlotte]
No. Bad idea. I'm 100% sure Reshir the Ice Dragon will not allow it. Best case scenario, he will only scold me for that, and force me to get back this thing back from Sis Diana. The worst case scenario, he will scold me, and strip back his blessing, and take back this thing without me getting any said in this matter. I don't know much about the Ice Dragon, other than the fact that he is one of the holy beast, and a powerful one at that, but I'm pretty sure the impression that I got from meeting him is that he is someone that you don't want to get on the bad side. It's no exaggeration for me to say he has the very power to destroy Estel all by himself...
(Which make this thing even more valuable) [Charlotte]
Think Charlotte! Think! Yo can scratch your head thousand upon thousand of time, eat all the sweet and chocolate banana cake in the fridge if you wanted to, but just think of the best. Well, what is the "best" to begin with.
Now that I think of it, I don't even have a clue as to what I wanted to do with it.
~Chuckling~
~Loud meow~
"That's ticklish, Behe, Bobunny" [Charlotte]
Right now, there's only me on the mansion. Elise has a drill with the Valkyrie. Grandpa Claude and Rafiah are currently working in the training hall as usual, and the younger siblings are all having an extra class at the school, so the two must be rather lonely

~Chuckling~
"Meow! Meow!" [Behe]
"Right right. I guess we could go for a walk" [Charlotte]
They look happy when I say that. Well, I haven't snuggle them for... When was the last time I snuggled with them? Maybe they're taking this opportunity to get closer to me. If that's indeed the case, I couldn't just leave those two behind! Operation: Recapturing their heart start now! After I put back that thing Reshir gave to me inside my item bag. Better bring it along with me. Who knows, I might get an idea when walking with them
Taking a stroll at the neighborhood area, the nice flowery smell from the elemental trees couple with the fairies floating around without a care makes my heart and mind feels calm. They occasionally pass just beside me and wave hello at me.
"Charlotte, what are. You doing here? Taking a walk. All alone with. Behe and Bobunny" [Kadeus]
"Well, you're stronger than us, but it is still worrying seeing a little girl walking all alone" [Lily]
"I'm not a little girl!" [Charlotte]
"MEOW!" [Behe]
~Firm chuckling~
"Right, right I'm sorry" [Lily]
Just because they're Rean's best friends shouldn't mean they should start treating me like a child! Even Behe and Bobunny agree and back me up!
"If you're alone. How about we. Three go for. A walk together?" [Kadeus]
"That's a great idea!" [Lily]
"I guess there is no harm doing that" [Charlotte]
Kadeus, a centaur beastman who have turn into an intelligent monster with slurred speech, and Lily, a female succubus. Kadeus is working with other survivors from six years ago who turn into monsters as well. They're either working with Sis Diana or with Saintess Rumia. That doesn't change the fact all they did is ensuring the safety of the country. Lily, even when she's still just a normal demon, decided to stop being an adventure just to support Kadeus. The two make a good pair, as Lily's mirage magic allowed Kadeus already heightened sense to further elevated, thus they can usually smell trouble faster than anyone, though a devil suddenly appearing out of nowhere is still an issue. So far, the only one that can detect a devil before it appears, and when and where it will apear is Zerolith's doppelganger, Htilorez

With the five of us walking around, patroling the area, we can see the relief face of the citizens who recognize us. Even when Behe is a powerful behemoth that can stomp them (in his real form, not during his cute little form), even when Bobunny's looks like it couldn't even hurt a fly, and even trusting Kadeus. I don't want to say this, but his physique is deformed from that incident six years ago. I remember people use to be scare of him, but look at him now. Just by walking around, the other feels safe and sound.
"Another great day. Without any incident. Happen" [Kadeus]
"What a big relief" [Lily]
"True, if only this could happen everyday" [Charlotte]
If only, but I don't think so. For starter...
"If everyday is. Like this, then. There's no need. For someone like. Us, who serve. Other people first. But, I will. Feel sad if. That really happen" [Kadeus]
"True. It's an ideal world, the world where people didn't need to rely on us, free from fear. Still, the first step for that to happen is the existence of someone who prioritize other first" [Lily]
"That's complicated..." [Charlotte]
"Not really. Think of your brother for instance. I rarely saw him getting selfish. The orphanage, the training hall, the elemental trees that he planted, even saving Behe and creating Bobunny. He actually did all of that, prioritizing other first before himself, and now, a day like this could actually happen despite the threat we are facing" [Lily]
"I agree with. You, if possible. I would like. To get bigger. So that I. Could cover more. Area, so I. Could help other. More" [Kadeus]
"Haha, maybe Bobunny and her clone can give you some tips regarding that. She can multiply, so maybe you should really just focus on becoming super big" [Lily]
Prioritizing other... Getting bigger to cover more area. Bobunny...
"That's it!" [Charlotte]
""??"" [Kadeus, Lily]
I think I know exactly what I should do with that thing

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
