[At Estel's newly constructed Hospital]

[Diana point of view]

Before, we always rely on the church of the old follower to provide treatment to the masses. While it's a good system in the past, it isn't without it share of problem. Name it. Bias treatment. Inappropriate charges. Discrimination. Questionable experimentation and treatment. Plus, I still remember the yearly endemic (which thankfully been resolved by our collective effort with Ash) is the final nail in the coffin for me to finally decided to spent quite a fortune of my own pocket money to train and develop medical center. After six to seven years of long journey, seeing it again and again and again, I will never get tired of it. It isn't that far away from Diana's hall (which in turn not far away from the orphanage), so I decided to come here with Qis and Bladel in search of Yefefiah, our very own angel race doctor but

"Sorry princess... I don't think that's a good idea... She seems awfully reluctant... Plus, I can't disclose any more of my patient private information, even if it's you the one asking it as it meant breaking my oath as a healer" [Yefefiah]

"That's fine. Still, I wonder how you manage to get to know this private information as well" [Diana]

"Let just said through some rather questionable activity" [Yefefiah]

She immediately connected the dot when I was about to ask her regarding best way to approach Rafiah. I don't even tell her anything about Seraph, Iblis and Witch and what Mrs Aries told me, and yet she understands all of it, which mean

"What other information do you have pertaining this situation" [Diana]

"Not much. Plus, I think you have a better chance asking Muse. She does communicate with other orphans right now through the private line you provided" [Yefefiah]

"That make sense. Still, do you really think it's a good idea, for Rafiah to just close her heart and not seeking any help?" [Qis]

"100% not. If anything, I wanted to help her out more than anything" [Yefefiah]

"I did ask Claude the other day. She wanted to find help but upon hearing Ash's death..." [Bladel]

"Yes. Ash's death was one of the triggering factor of her depression and sense of hopelessness. I did convince her to come seeking our magical mind treatment, but at the end of the day, it's up to her to open back her heart" [Yefefiah]

I see. Now I kinda understand Rafiah more. I only know that she's a witch who also happens to have the power of Seraph and Iblis, but I don't fully understand the current state of her mind. The weight of her power. Ash's death. The responsibility she shoulder after his death. I guess along the way, she just close up more and more of her heart. If I have to add another guess, those kids facing the fallen god also causes her to even shut her own problem more, as she thought that the hardship they gone through are much more important than her

I thought of going out and see for myself the view of this country, but as a court magician

"And you do like this to get the metal that you want" [Karon]

"Urghh..." [Kara]

"Even with the holy beast blessing, it's kinda hard" [Mara]

"Don't worry. You'll get used to it" [Karon]

I am now watching Karon, Kara and Mara inside of the workshop provided by Saint Louis. Karon wanted to make several tools that can help us track down the Rampaging Garuda more effectively. Kara and Mara, who alongside Karon help out as well. They will help Karon by making use of the holy beast if earth blessing and make a high quality materials with fantastic mana conductivity. That way, the search magic that Karon will put (or the dwarf racial magic: puppet magic that he will put) can be use to scan the environment faraway

Since Kara and Mara wanted to give Karon a proper material, they even draw a magic circle on the ground and chant a long spell just to make increase the quality. They also make sure to do it one at a time, to further increase the quality. I don't know if this is a common practice or not, maybe it is where Brother Ash magical school of thought haven't reach yet, but seeing the use of magic circle and long chanting is rare, at least I don't really see it much outside of classes or during some of the experimentation at the royal court laboratory

"You're progressing astoundingly fast" [Karon]

"We do?" [Kara]

"Yes. I'm sure of it" [Karon]

"Make sense, we do bore some of the previous holy beast of earth power when we were little. Maybe that's why" [Mara]

"Hmm?" [Charlotte]

"Oh, you don't actually remember it. Make sense, you're still 6 when that happens" [Karon]

"Now I feel ashamed of myself for making that scene" [Kara]

"What happen? I can't really remember" [Charlotte]

"Well..." [Mara]

I do know Mother Aries is an experimental "Chimera" made by Saintess Angela as part of the previous holy beast was put inside of her and then she gave birth to Kara and Mara. That's when Kara and Mara started to show sign of transforming into ant like chimera when they were younger, but Mother Aries prevented that by sucking away any Tyrant Ant Drant's mana inside of them

"So maybe the new holy beast detected some miniscule amount of it still inside of both of you and decided to just give you her blessing" [Charlotte]

"Most likely the case" [Kara]

Huh. I didn't know that. Maybe the older one do remember it and as such, they might actually know that reasoning the moment Kara and Mara received the blessing

"And now, time to put the puppet magic into the tools" [Karon]

"Guess all we can do is sit back and watch" [Mara]

"You should probably rest first Karon" [Kara]

"No need to. The sooner I done with it, the sooner I can lie down on my bed" [Karon]

"If that's the case, least I can do now is make you something sweet. Any requests?" [Charlotte]

"Really? Can you make me a jug of cold tea please" [Karon]

"One jug of sweet creamy milky cold tea coming right up!" [Charlotte]

Better make it quick so that I don't miss any of the process involves
