"YOU WHAT!?" [Druser]

"Am I hearing thing?" [Leogris]

"No you didn't. I am serious about it" [Aries]

"That was sudden" [Rumia]

"I'm sorry for the sudden notice, but I don't want to throw away any chances to live with them." [Aries]

"I understand that, but..." [Druser]

"Could you please reconsider? Maybe even bringing them both to Demon kingdom?" [Leogris]

"No. I don't want to separate any one of them. They're the ten heroes and I want them to grow up together, train together and live together. They will face severe hardship in the future, so the least we can do for them is to make their childhood a memorable one" (Though half of them are already in their teen) [Ash]

"Is that so..." [Leogris]

"While I am happy that Mrs Aries will be here with us, I do empathize with King Druser. Losing someone like Mrs Aries will be a huge blow to the demon kingdom" [Diana]

"That's also true..." [Lisa]

"We can find a replacement, but..." [Erinmorlin]

"It will be hard as Aries here is beloved by the people of Demon kingdom" [Flinar]

"There are several S rank adventure that I can think of but..." [Khamishah]

"Contacting them is one thing, plus, King Druser still haven't given his decision over this matter" [Mira]

"What will you do, King Druser?" [King Estel]

The interview process by Mira went smoothly. Aries here is determined to live together once more with Lisa, and her twin daughters Kara and Mara. Still, Aries here is an important figure in the Demon kingdom, so it shouldn't come out as no surprise that when she suddenly asked to stop working for the Demon kingdom, there will be a strong voice of disagreement, especially from King Druser

"Fine... I agree" [Druser]

"Thank you. I really appreciate it" [Aries]

"Eehh... That easy" [Ash]

I thought thing will escalate further, but to think Druser here suddenly agree is a little bit of a shock, almost unbelievable in fact that I ask him whether he is joking 

"No, I'm not joking. To tell you the truth, I don't want to let someone as capable as her go, but I will respect her decision as well. She has done so much for us that I think blocking her path of happiness will be selfish in our part. Not to mention, her daughter and those kids are the ten heroes, so if she could be there, protecting them and helping them grow, it will benefit us all in the future. But I do agree we need to find a replacement for her even though it is hard" [Druser]

"Are you sure? What will those nobles of your said?" [Leogris]

"Some of them might not agree to it, but for other, they might understand it a bit as they're also indebted to her" [Druser]

"I can already guess which of them will make the noise," [Lisa]

"I just hope they don't do anything stupid toward those kids in order to make Aries stay" [Erinmorlin]

"Demon noble, I can't really imagine them doing it, but I guess just race doesn't matter in this case" [Queen Rinz]

Well, they seem to be almost no objection to Aries staying here. Plus, Druser here also would like to buy Aries a plot if land and a house as a gift from the demon kingdom for all she had done for them. Still, a replacement, I can think of someone. I wonder if they're fine with her. Well I will ask her tomorrow as when I go to the adventure guild with Aries (so that she can register as an adventure), I can't seem to find her. By the way, Aries is straight away promoted as an A rank adventure. Here I was thinking she will get an S rank, but Ram say that in order to achieve an S rank, several guild master recommendations are needed.

Kara and Mara are still sulking, so much so I just barge in to their room and talk to them. Understandable, they're twelve but you can't blame someone after hearing a horrible truth if they react like this. In fact, I'm proud of them since they're still compose. I tell them to give Aries another chance for which they agree. They will now look at the new house that Druser buy for them. The four of them (Aries, Lisa, Kara and Mara) start to talk a bit among themselves. Asking about their favourite food etc. What funny is that Kara here asking Aries about tonight weather. I wanted to laugh but I don't want them to know about me tailing them (even though I'm sure Aries would've detected me)

They stop. So, their house aren't that far away from the orphanage. That's good. We could visit them daily, and they can also come and play at the orphanage.

Morning come, and this is the first morning without Kara and Mara. I have to say, I feel both happy and sad at the same time. Even those kids feel the same, but we will get use to it. I hope. Well, it is still bearable as there are kids from the other two orphanages. They will only get back home after the meeting regarding the ten heroes finish. Most of the participants are the same one as of yesterday, with addition of adventure guild master, Saint Louis and King Malsia. Filvisar and Seraph will also join us. Not to mention, we are still collecting information from Rafiah's friend as well as the old follower leader that we caught the other day. All and all, that will be an important meeting.

""Good morning!!"" [Kara, Mara]

"Morning" [Ash]

""Kara! Mara!"" [Lara, Nara]

(Ohh, that's rare. They're showing a bit of emotion. Guess they're growing up as well) [Ash]

I did name the two of them after Kara and Mara, maybe that's why I guess. 

"The six of you, have your breakfast already?" [Claude]

"We did, but..." [Mara]

"Sorry. I'm a terrible cook" [Aries]

"It's fine. We can cook together the next time" [Mara]

"Hey, don't leave us behind!" [Erinmorlin]

"I feel like I am getting older..." [Flinar]

"Haha. You are nearing 45 after all" [Lisa]

Hoo...

"You guys seem closer right now" [Seo Ah]

"True" [Mira]

"That really is fast" [Kanji]

"And just yesterday a certain tomboy lock herself in a room" [Zerolith]

"What was that, you idiot!" [Mara]

"Tomboy!" [Zerolith]

"Idiot!" [Mara]

"Haha, feels like nothing changes" [Ash]

(Well, 24 hours still haven't passed yet) [Rean]

After breakfast, some of the kids follow Aries as they're shopping for furniture and clothes. Good, I guess I can leave her to take care of them, and as for me, going to adventure guild. I search for certain someone. 

(Ohh... Diana's carriage. I guess we have the same idea) [Ash]

Maybe she's also searching for her. Look, she's with Alice, asking her something. Better greet them

"Diana. Are you by any chance, searching for Aries replacement?" [Ash]

"Guess we are thinking of the same thing" [Diana]

"Or in this case, the same person" [Alice]

"Look. There she is" [Qis]

""Perfect"" [Ash, Diana]

The four of us approach her, and when Diana tell her about it

"Me? Taking over Mrs Aries job?" [New female paladin adventure]
