[At the Orphanage]

[Ash point of view]

It's heavy... and yet it's comfortable. Not only that,it kinda noisy, which wakes me up from my sleep. I wonder, I do know for a fact that I was controlled by a powerful parasite implanted by God of Life itself, and I was in a half asleep phase all this while. Kinda like my soul, my brain and my entire body goes into autopilot mode beyond my control, so when I can get a quality sleep like this

"So this is Brother Ash"

"He's young... I tho he will be older than Brother Rean"

"He's the same age as Sis Kara and Mara maybe?"

"18? Kinda looks like it?"

"But didn't they told us, that his appearance remain unchanged, so..."

"He's the same age as Princess Diana? 24 years old?"

"That should be the case here"

I see, they're the new orphans. Kinda obvious, that's if this is the same Orphanage... Yup definitely the same. I can tell Housey and Calypso Tree here, even when there had been several upgrades done on them

"Let pokes him"

"DON'T!"

"Princess Diana will be angry!"

"Let him sleep!"

And they start arguing over small matter. You know what, I don't feel like sleeping anymore, even when my body practically yearn for it, so...

"BAAAAAHHHH!!!" [Ash]

""""KYAAAH!!!!""""

"Hahahaha!" [Ash]

And they're paralyze out of fear. From the look of it, they're no older than 10, so they will fit right into the younger group

"Morning all of you. I'm Ash, nice to meet you" [Ash]

"Nic... Nice to meet you..."

Only the boy answer, well, maybe I went too far with the joke

"You're mean..."

"Apologize!"

"Yeah yeah... I'm hungry, let's get some breakfast" [Ash]

"True, but we shouldn't eat too much"

"The wedding might be today"

(Whose wedding? No matter, there will be a banquet, so that's all that is matter) "Alright, let us just get ready. You know what, I'm too lazy to take a bath, so let me just brush my teeth first" [Ash]

"No!"

"Stinky!"

"Stinky stinky!"

"Fine... But don't let them know. I feel like pranking them" [Ash]

"Secret?"

"Secret!" [Ash]

""""YOSH!!!!""""

Haha, kid. And speaking of wedding

(Vincent. Maria. Congratulations on your marriage) [Goddess Achalasia]

((Thank you Goddess)) [Vincent, Maria]

(Estel, Kiara! You're beautiful!) [Maria]

(Haha, thanks) [Estel]

It jumbled, the memory I acquired from my parents, but it starting to make sense. What happen back then. Maybe it will reorganize itself. Just need to give some time. Speaking of mother and father, I quickly scan my scythe and

(Sigh... They aren't there no more... Their souls... Thank you for Protecting me. Father. Mother) [Ash]

Well................. Before I realized, I already done taking my shower. It feels so surreal... This feeling of sadness... Goddess... I guess I am after all, an orphan that feel delighted about his parents being there for the kids, but only to get it taken away. Counting by the number of time this happen, maybe around 4 time I guess? Maybe. From before I was born in Achalasia, reincarnated to earth and once again, being reincarnated to Achalasia...

(Guess the memories of father and mother started to make more and more sense. Let just give it some time) [Ash]

And better take a mental note

"What the..." [Rafiah]

"Shou... Shouldn't you..." [Calypso]

"MEOW!" [Behe]

~Happy chuckling~ [Bobunny]

"Ash... You're awake!" [Claude]

"Shouldn't you rest?" [Filvisar]

""Pleas. R.st"" [Housey, Calypso Tree]

"Well, there are multiple cheeky little siblings of mine who wouldn't want me to sleep, so here I am... But, it good to be finally home. All of you" [Ash]

"That was speedy recovery" [Khamishah]

"It really is. Not that it's a bad thing" [Mira]

"I'm just glad... Thank Goddess!" [Seo Ah]

Oh, so those three are here as well, meaning, there must be some event going on here for them to bring the orphans as well

"Gosh! You make me worried... Do you know... Do you know how sad we were!" [Rafiah]

"Rafiah wait. It wasn't his fault" [Calypso]

Rafiah hug me, while making a soft fist hitting my back Claude tried to stop her, but just let it slide while using his ghost butler hand to pat my head. Not gonna lie, it feels extra nice, coming from a grandfather figure like him. As for Calypso, it been long since I last tease her, so...

"Huh, you actually developed some brain while I was away. That's surprising" [Ash]

"Alright, listen here Blondie... You know what, Rafiah, maybe you should control him like that devil parasite!" [Calypso]

"CALYPSO!" [Filvisar]

"But he started it!" [Calypso]

"But you shouldn't say that!" [Seo Ah]

"Haha. Feels like nothing changes" [Ash]

"Maybe I should call them..." [Filvisar]

"Let them sleep. I bet they're all tired after the intense fight yesterday. Plus, I wanted to see how long will they realize before what's going on" [Ash]

"You mean?" [Claude]

"Let just pretend like six years back, where I cook something for breakfast, and see how long will it take them to realize" [Ash]

"Hoho, I wonder how long. I'm in" [Filvisar]

"How about you guys?" [Ash]

"Sound fun!"

"Let us in as well"

"..." [Mahsuri]

"Someone already on her role" [Ash]

Still

"Thanks, Mahsuri" [Ash]

"You're Vincent and Maria son after all" [Mahsuri]

"For that, I am grateful" [Ash]

And let just cook breakfast. A simple fried rice should be good

"Morning..." [Charlotte]

Charlotte is up first, and she's drowsy... She's grown into a teenager huh, maybe around 12 years of age? Sorry that I couldn't be there for you during that time, so let just make it up now

"Morning Charlotte. Have you wash your face?" [Ash]

"I did..." [Charlotte]

"Here you go. Take some bread first. I already spread it with honey(She will always ask me personally to do it for her after all) [Ash]

"Thank you..." [Charlotte]

The other are all trying their best to suppress their laughter, and

"""Morning""" [Aries, Kara, Mara]

"Morning three of you. Up early today?" [Ash]

"?" [Aries] "Yes we are" [Mara] "Today might be an important day, but that depends on them" [Kara]

(Important day?) [Ash]

Does it have to do with the wedding those kids mentioned? Whose wedding might it be? More importantly, Kara and Mara didn't realize it yet, as for Aries (Gosh, she looks old now), Claude signal her about my plan, and she instantly nod, agreeing to take part as well

"Zerolith... You stink..." [Farhah]

~Yawn~ "I ain't..." [Zerolith]

"It's too early for the ruckus" [Karon]

"Like Karon said, it is too early. Just sit there in the table first while waiting for your breakfast" [Ash]

"""Yes...""" [Zerolith, Karon, Farhah]

Hahaha! This is fun. They literally didn't realize it! Gosh, I love it!

""Morning"" [Lara, Nara]

"Morning" [Mahsuri]

And those two sit beside Mahsuri. Those two are even worse, or maybe they just met Mahsuri yesterday and as usual, sit beside her in their favourite sofa like they used to do

"Both of you... Please don't run on the stair! You aren't kid anymore!" [Elise]

"But we are starving!" [Singa]

"Plus, the fried rice today smell nostalgic!" [Savel]

"And here I am thinking that being trained by a noble will make you two better behaving teenages!" [Elise]

"If you didn't listen to Elise, I'll cut your portion into half" [Ash]

"No!" [Savel]

"Please no!" [Singa]

And those two, like a noble, display a fine table etiquette. Colour me Impressed

""Morning"" [Rean, Muse]

"Morning two lovely bird, just take your sit first" [Ash]

"!" [Muse] "Sure, I will" [Rean]

Muse (just like Aries), realize what happen after Rafiah signal her, and Rean still didn't realize it. Somehow... They look like a married couples... Could it be... The wedding... Maybe. I should confirm it after breakfast

After they all sit, and the breakfast is serve

"Let's dig in" [Ash]

"Could you pass me the chocolate drink?" [Charlotte]

"Sure" [Ash]

"Thank you, Brother Ash" [Charlotte]

"..." [Rean]

"..." [Elise]

"..." [Kara]

"..." [Mara]

"..." [Lara]

"..." [Nara]

"..." [Zerolith]

"..." [Karon]

"..." [Farhah]

"..." [Singa]

"..." [Savel]

"..." [Charlotte]

"EHH!" [All]

"That took you awhile. I'm sincerely impressed" [Mahsuri]

"Hahaha! Once again, I'm back, all of you" [Ash]

We have a good laugh, while all twelve of them trying to hide their embarrassment. Rean just sit there, feeling like an idiot for not noticing, and joining him are Elise, Kara, Lara, Nara, Karon and Zerolith, while the rest, try to play it cool that they actually notice me

"Yeah right. None of you find it odd" [Calypso]

"I know you're all tired and drowsy after yesterday's battle, but don't be careless the next time" [Khamishah]

"Every heroes has their own bad day" [Filvisar]

And we have our breakfast together. wWhen I ask them regarding the importance event, as expected

"Now I feel old" [Ash]

Still, congrats Rean
