With the silence inside the carriage due to the slight awkward conversation that happen before, Mile can't help but to fell asleep while hugging her mother. Not that Clair mind it, she just continuously rub the head of the little rabbit girl making Mile fall deeper and deeper into her slumber. Ray also shown sign of drowsiness, most likely due to the delicious food from the restaurant. Seeing this, Clair simply signal Ray to lean on her, at first Ray have a slight awkwardness in it, but due to Clair persists signalling and the silence inside the carriage making him more and more drowsy, he lean on her mother. Seeing this, now the group can't help but just staying silent for the rest of journey as to not wake the two sleeping children up.

As the carriage make its way to the orphanage, Clair recognise the road there and taught it will be a good time to talk a little bit regarding the orphanage here as they are about to arrive. She start talking in a slow voice as to not wake her two children up from the sleep

"Can you all hear me?" [Clair]

The other bring their head closer to the source of voice and nodded, ready to listen to what Clair have to said

"We are almost there, so I thought of telling you a thing or two regarding the orphanage" [Clair]

Once again, the other nodded

"First of all, the orphanage have around 60 children from 6 month of age uptill 12 years old" [Clair]

"I see, we have almost double the amount" [Kucin]

"Well, we are in the capital after all" [Guz]

"Currently, the one that is looking after those kid in the orphanage are a couple of husband and wife, both of which are a former C rank adventure" [Clair]

"That's sweet" [Emma]

"I see..." [Lydia]

"Those are just a spur of word due to emotion outburst Lydia" [Kucin]

"But I still can't believe I said that..." [Lydia]

"Well, I said the same thing to Brother Az during the confrontation with Zlatan, so I can empathize with that" [Kucin]

"It's alright, it's understandable" [Clair]

"Guess we should just move on to the topic" [Blanc]

"Yeah, no use to cry over a spill milk" [Lydia]

"Well, the city have given them the basic expenses to keep them comfortable, with emphasize of clothing" [Clair]

"Well, this city is cold almost every month, so it's understandable" [Blade]

"Someone can relate to that" [Guz]

"While I will talk with the couple that run the orphanage, I would like the six of you to try persuade the other children first, that way the couple will have far easier time to make them agree to go to the school" [Clair]

"Well, leave that to me!" [Kucin]

"Actually, can you leave most of it to us Senior Kucin?" [Guz]

"Care to explain?" [Kucin]

"That because you already done that to us, so I think it would be better if we are the one that do it in this orphanage" [Guz]

"Understandable" [Kucin]

"Yeah I agree" [Lydia]

"Haha, this really take me back during that time" [Emma]

"The second memory trip of the day, not that I mind it" [Blanc]

"Its a heart warming story" [Blade]

"And I hope it would be repeated here" [Clair]

With that, the group become more determined to persuade those children to go to the school (that will be built soon).

Unlike those from the Capital orphanage, they are a couple of kid that want to be enrolled in the first place especially Kucin herself, she goes as far as to beg The Princess and The Hero when meeting them. 

But in this orphanage, they don't have such kid, or maybe they simply didn't know that such kid exist and the latter seem more probable. The four from the Capital orphanage are sure of it because they can empathize living in a harsh environment and wanting to have a better life not only for themselves but also for those around them. Better life will also mean that they can pay back all the good deeds that have been given to them. So that's why they planned on using this as a way to make them more interested in joining the school

Guz and the other are discussing on what to talk beforehand as to increase their chance of success. Clair and Kucin add a thing or two that they think will work. The conversation become fired up that it woke both Ray and Mile

And with that, the carriage stop Infront of the Orphanage. Infront, Kucin recognise a familiar figure he once saw
