I will keep saying this, until I meet with all the orphans that I came to know, and they're like 95 of them before I was controlled by the Fallen God (Only counting the Estel, Malsia and Kiserre as I couldn't meet the Beastman and Demon Kingdom Orphanages before I was controlled), but gosh, they're all growing up into a splendid people aren't they.

Even with the resistance group of the Mountain Kingdom comprises of the natives are there just beside us, I couldn't help but to greet each one of the siblings from different orphanages of mine. I'm just glad my feeling are getting through them, and I'm even more glad that they're all having the eager eyes just like that of a kid, finally catching their father after long hours of works. At least that's the impression I get after seeing their eyes, which make my efforts of developing the Orphanages all the worth while

While I am here "busy" with them, Diana,Muse, Aries, Sachmis, Rean, Singa and Savel spare no time and just greet the resistance group first. It's kinda my fault as it's not a polite act of making someone who are in dire need of help waiting, and as such, we wrap our long reunion short. The resistance group, knowing that it's Diana herself come, alongside the infamous paladin Aries quickly pay the highest form of respect possible, which actually make the whole situation kinda awkward for me, even just by seeing it, but I guess I am the overly laid back here. This much is actually normal for their culture

Cutting short the reunion, I start to greet the resistance group and apologize for making them wait

"It's fine. You're the Behemoth Slayer aren't you? Your exploits in the past are actually well known among our citizens, particular that in Kiserre" [Resistance leader]

"Huh? Why is that?" [Ash]

The resistance leader, a tall dark elf man with horizontal scar on his forehead. With his long braid brown hair, and his winter like cloth, he's quite the looker. He however, can't stop looking at Farhah, however hard he tries to feign ignorance. Since Farhah is the Avery, an elf like him couldn't help but to do so. Kinda like how you meet your president or king, you just can't.

Still, they know of my various exploits especially that of the Kiserre's incident, I wonder why? I'm 100% sure I don't have any relationship with anyone from this country. Is it because I'm famous? Maybe, but I get this feeling Aries, Saint Louis, and Khamishah who done the same and are even more popular will get more attention. so...

"Most of the slaves you save during the Kiserre's incident are actually the natives of this nation" [Diana]

"And with your camera back then, it actually make the process of finding the family members involved a lot more easier" [Resistance leader]

"Really! I have no idea!" [Ash]

Talk about a surprising fact. I literally don't know about that

"Mountain Nation is a unique country. Our country relies solely on the mountain dungeon for our defence from any external forces, as a result, adventures and knights are scarce between us. Plus, most youngster will look for a job in neighbouring countries like Lyrue or the exchange land, even Kiserre, making those who can fight even less" [Resistance leader]

"Which make it the perfect opportunity for the Traitorous princes to took over your country, am I right?" [Sachmis]

"Unfortunately, that's the case..." [Resistance leader]

I see, they kinda have like a brain drain resources, only we should replace the brain part with brawn.

That's for the military strength of the country. If I am to look at it economically, the nation is surrounded by mountain dungeon from both sides. Of course there are other dungeons connected to it, but according to the long hair girl that frequently make her trade here, the dungeon are somewhat the same like that of the mountain dungeon in nature. They might have plenty of unique resources that can only be find here, but the difficulty of traversing the dungeon make most merchant give up as the hassle aren't worth the money, or maybe they just don't want to risk their life, especially during this crisis era of fallen god awakening

Couple all that, and you got yourself one country that's kinda isolated from the rest of the world, which beg the question

"How about we actually enter the country first. Discussing here any further isn't ideal" [Diana]

"Good call. My adaptability magic started to run low" [Muse]

"Just stay close to me. I'll supply my mana to you" [Rean]

"But of course, how could I ever be separated from you

Flirting aside, all of us agree and start taking a detour, into the nearest Ancient tunnel that's connected to the Mountain Kingdom. Taking out my camper van golem, and another extra one where Zerolith take the wheel, all of us safely get inside the country. If only if it's that easy

"The fake doppelgangers!" [Resistance leader]

"They sniff us out!" [Farhah]

"Quickly! Before they start to..." [Lizard Beastman]

Without them finishing their sentences, Linda, Singa, Lara, Nara and I quickly teleport out from the camper van golem and start slicing through our opponents. While Linda and Singa primarily uses their space magic, Lara Nara and I uses earth magic from all directions and start impaling them one by one, purposely missing most of their vital organs, sparing them from the quick death that everyone deserves in this situation

"I guess we have the same idea. Lara, Nara" [Ash]

""Learn from the best"" [Lara, Nara]

"I feel conflicted with that praise just now" [Ash]

I reap what I saw. Plus, I am someone with the title of Guardian of Children, and they basically grown up following this specific examples of me. I guess all that nagging Diana and the other tells me finally started to manifest

"Anyway, we will tie them up. Help me out will you" [Ash]

""Right"" [Lara, Nara]

As usual, I will leave it to Qis and Alaric for the interrogation. Maybe these guys know more than the one attacking us back then
