《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 347: Searching for The Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda part 11
Advertisement
[At the new headquarters]
I was together with Karon, Saintess Rumia and Farhah just now, helping Karon figuring out if by chances, there are any malfunctioning of the tools he created. Of course, Goddess Achalasia told Saintess Rumia to just continue what we are doing, which is her way of indirectly saying there's nothing wrong with the tools created, but Saintess Rumia herself told us that we should still double check the tools. It's not like we are doubting the goddess, far from it. We do believe in the words she's saying, but at the same time, Goddess Achalasia only helps those who helps themselves. So if we are just lazing around, not bothering to check the tools because goddess tell us so, then it's like we are showing to the goddess that we are not working hard enough. Just as the last court magician that were helping us went out, I heard two familiar footsteps running toward this room
"I guess that's the last of them. I'm 100% sure none of the tools I created malfunctioned" [Karon]
"Which mean that..." [Farhah]
"Here you guys are!" [Savel]
"And Saintess Rumia is here as well. Perfect timing" [Singa]
"Oh my, you two looks in a hurried. Something happen?" [Rumia]
"Well, Rean and the other found evidence of the devils invading this country!" [Savel]
"Say what!?" [Charlotte]
"And I suppose you coming here to inform us about it, and that Saint Louis and the other call us out for a meeting" [Rumia]
"That's right O saintess" [Singa]
"If that's the case, I think we should hurry there" [Farhah]
"True. This is an emergency after all" [Karon]
"But first, let me stores all these tools inside my item box" [Rumia]
She pick it up one by one instead and put it inside her item box instead of just open up her item box magic below those tools. Seeing this, all of us help her out as well. She's a saintess, and we made a saintess do such rudimentary work not befitting of her status. I'm sure she doesn't mind it a single bit, since she's after all, just like any one of us, but those around her can't help but to see her as someone special (even us heroes feels like that), someone that's beloved by Goddess herself, and as such, we don't want to trouble her with such thing out of respect for her

And thus, the five of us went straight to a meeting room, with Mara and Zerolith the last one to enter (are they dating or what is what I wanted to tease, but the atmosphere prevent me from doing so). As they take a seat just beside Kara, Saint Louis and Mr Gilbert start the discussion, asking Mr Samurai Jacks, Mr Kana, Rean, Lara and Nara what happen.
"And that's why, we firmly believe that Saintess Angela is behind that incident" [Rean]
"Tchh, that damn Penanggal. Always a nuisance" [Alaric]
"Penanggal? As in, the ghost?" [Elise]
"True. We were there back then when we discovered it. Well, to be more exact, when Alaric here successfully decapitate her only for us to discover the fact" [Seraph]
"You decapitate a saintess!?" [Alicia]
"That woman is no saintess. Even if she's a saintess, she's a saintess for the fallen god" [Alaric]
"Is that really..." [Alicia]
"What are you doubting for. Aren't they the one performing experiment on you and those giants" [Alaric]
"True. All five of us back then discover that they're working with Agnes to help the fallen god resurrection, so that's why, we know for a fact that's the truth" [Linda]
"You were there!? Can you please tell me more. I heard an awful lot of variation, so I'm not sure which is which honestly speaking" [Alicia]
"Certainly..." [Saint Louis]
And Saint Louis told us the tale from six years back. When he mention about Brother Ash, I can see that not only him, but the other three (Seraph, Linda and Alaric) eyes filled with guilt, as they failed to save Brother Ash. Linda in particular, feel it the most
"I see. I can see why the giant will be useful should they wanted to recreate the incident, but why us vampires?" [Alicia]

"Maybe as a substitute for the minion of God of Death?" [Charlotte]
"That might be the case, but I don't think that's the case. Only a very handful of people knew that us minion of God of Death were involved back then, and even then, we don't actually make any public appearance" [Linda]
"Then what? Just to wreck havoc?" [Gilbert]
"Knowing her, that's more than sufficient for a cause, but knowing her as well, that seems a bit unjustified" [Saint Louis]
"And why is that?" [Rumia]
"Well. She's sadistic to say the least, so before achieving what she wanted, surely she will do everything in her power to make her opponent taste some..." [Alaric]
Mr vampire guard looks like he has it figured out, and not in a good way as he make a long sigh and said "of course" loudly
"I see. To take revenge on you for exposing her as a Penanggal in front of her follower" [Seraph]
"Based on what I heard about Saintess Angela, that seems to be the case here" [Gilbert]
"No doubt about it" [Alaric]
"And us four here must be part of her calculation as well. To take revenge on us" [Saint Louis]
"And to put the final nail in the coffin, she will do something terrible to Saintess Rumia" [Seraph]
"That's terrible!" [Seo Ah]
So, just like we were told previously, those giants and vampires that were experimented by Saintess Angela (which were now put under the deep slumber spell by Saint Louis and fellow court magician of the country, with multiple other methods to ensure they will not run rampage should they are turn into devils)
"So, our threats right now will be the hunter devil and Saintess Angela, am I right?" [Kanji]
"We should probably add Zin the half giant as well. I have this feeling that Angela will most definitely use him here as well" [Saint Louis]
"That towering giant" [Savel]
"And Motra's best friend" [Singa]
"I wonder when will they strike?" [Kara]
"We don't have a single clue about it" [Jacks]
"And we still didn't have a single clue of the whereabouts of the Rampaging Garuda" [Mara]
"For now, I should keep on searching for the holy beast, so other should probably stay inside the country" [Kana]
"How about it, Louis?" [Gilbert]
All of us look at Saint Louis for answer

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?
