So she wanted me to sell her the behemoth magic core, well I can falter a guess as to why she wanted it and that reason must be the same as mine. Well, I can't sell her the magic core eventhough she offered some ridiculous amount of money, so let just be polite and tell her the reason as to why I don't want to sell her the magic core

"I'm sorry, but I can't sell you the Behemoth magic core, since I wanted to use it to fortify the house later on" [Ash]

"What? Are you serious! Do you even know how to use the fortress defense magic!" [Diana]

Well, she raised her voice, not that I don't understand the reason behind it, it's a difficult magic sure but I'm pretty confident with the blessings given by The Goddess Achalasia, I can make it

"Naturally" [Ash]

"You, you are joking right?" [Diana]

"Nope, I'm 100% serious" [Ash]

Hearing my word, she scratch her head for a while before deciding

"Fine, but let me see how you do it!" [Diana]

"And what if I don't want to show it to you?" [Ash]

In a jokingly manner, I said that to her, I will let her see how I will use the magic of course, but she misunderstood my joke and...

"Oh you will...!" [Diana]

"aha..ha..." [Ash]

Her scary smile and eyes instantly make me said yes, let just set a reminder in my subconscious mind to never make a joke Infront of her when she's that serious

As we are about to goes back out, Charlotte cling once again to my leg, saying that she wanted to follow me as well, not that I mind but she's obviously tired from the shopping, even having a black panda eyes, well let just persuade her a little

"Charlotte, how about you and the other decorate the album and photo" [Ash]

""Decorate the album and photo?"" [Diana, Charlotte]

As I said that, even Diana can't help but to ask what's the meaning behind those word of mine, well instead of explaining it, I just showed it to them. 

I bring out the album, the photo and some stationary such as glue and colour pencils, and using Charlotte photo as an example, I glued the photo into the first page of a book (I buy a bigger book when we are out there shopping for stationery) and then draw some wave motif just beside Charlotte photo as her blue hair and clothes remind of them, and add some note just beside it saying "Charlotte first time shopping"

"So pretty!" [Charlotte]

and now it have everybody attention, from the kid, to Diana to the innkeeper and his wife. Diana ask me what's all this (the photo and the album) as she thought that I simply drew each one of them, well it's easier to show her rather than explaining it to her, so I ask her to smile at me, in which she does while Qis explode in anger! Well, let just said that the both of us ignore her for a while, and when I'm about to take the photo, Kara ask me whether she can have a photo with Diana. Diana simply agreed to it while Qis, well as usual said "know your place you commoner!", but once she sees the results, she became instantly quite while Diana and Kara, well let just said they became an instant photo buddy, and thank god I make two copies of the photo if not, who knew what will happen. 

With the kid distracted, We leave the inn while I explained to Diana about the photo magic once we are inside the carriage, she seems to be thinking of something before asking me

"Can you make a device with similar function?" [Diana]

"I'm not sure of that, well I can try but don't hope for any quick result" [Ash]

"It's fine, really, just develop a prototype of it and show it to the guild master, ask her to patent those device so that you can have a constant fund to run the orphanage" [Diana]

Ahh... I see now, what a great idea, if I show the guild master the photo and develop a prototype device and patent it, I can have some fund for the orphanage, and if that's the case, I shouldn't have to worried much about the orphanage if something happen to me, well first, how about I showed the guild master about the photo magic and tell her that I will develop a prototype device of it,surely the guild master must be delighted about it. 

As I am about to said that Idea to Diana, she told me her idea as well, which is basically the same as mine, well that settle it then.

She then tell me about the old lady that run the Estel Merchant guild, Gizzere, a sweet but analytical grandmother just so that I can better prepared myself. Once inside the merchant guild, the staff instantly greet Diana and let her meet with Gizzere straight away... Princess sure are amazing

"Mrs Gizzere, it has been a while" [Diana]

"It is, I'm delighted to see you once again Princess Diana, and the gentleman here, I do believe he is the one that solo the Behemoth, welcome to the merchant guild, my name is Gizzere" [Gizzere]

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Ash, and I have come here today for a few reasons" [Ash]

"Well, let just take a seat first shall we" [Gizzere]

As we sit down in a very comfy sofa, we begin to discuss about a few things, first regarding a plot of land or a house that can be use for an orphanage, I wanted one with a nice open field at the back so that I can teach those kid magic as well as having some land to farm something (well, farming in this world is almost none existence as they can simply get all their need in the dungeon which is quite a shock for me). As we discussed about the plot of land that meet my criteria, I decided the one in the periphery of the city, having a mansion with a large field with it, it just that...

"It's haunted! Well that explains the low price" [Diana]

"Are you really sure about this? Don't you worry about those kid?" [Gizzere]

"Let just said I have  trick on my sleeves to solve this problem" [Ash]

As I said that, Diana eyes and mouth once again shows the same scary smile, yes I will show it to you as well! Don't worry!

The second thing that we discussed is about the photo magic and as I show her the photo magic (by using Diana as my model), well, I swear I can see her calm expression turned into that of a dropped jaw! How can she hide it so well!

"You learn how to hide your emotions once you are in the field for so long, and no I don't read your mind" [Gizzere]

What the... if that wasn't a magic than kudo to her, I can't even begin to imagine how she do that, heck, I wanted to ask her did she just read my mind but she just answer it straight away

"Still, they are a few things that I wanted to clarify, I still doesn't have the faintest of idea how I'm about to make a device capable of emulating the photo magic, and even if I managed to do so, I hope that my involvement to be kept a secret!" [Ash]

"Of course, it's not logical for you to straight away make such a device, and even if you does, the initial product will be pricey and as such I believe we should target the noble and the merchant as our potential customers, and as for the secrecy part, I understand as to why you wanted that, you do have a bad relationship with the noble in this country, so if they found out about the person behind this device, they might decide to boycott the product or even worse, harm those children so that they can force you to work with them or even worse the right to your products can be taken away from you" [Gizzere]

"Glad you understand that" [Ash]

Well usually those who patent a product that's so good and beneficial will wanted their hard work to be recognised, in hope that the noble or royal will hired them to be part of their working force, well that's usual case but Diana knows that wouldn't happen in my case and as such had warned me beforehand

"Well then, that just leave me with the third and final one then" [Ash]

"Well, let me see the Behemoth corpse at the warehouse" [Gizzere]

"Are you really sure you can't read someone's mind" [Ash]

And I make quite a profit, the corpse are still fresh as time stopped inside the item box magic, but they have to cut down the final profit for dismantling charge, as well as the poor condition of the Behemoth right food and the fact that I just straight out tell her I did give some of the meat to the innkeeper (well, I don't want those children to use the money that I got in such a dishonouring way, it just doesn't stand right with me) 

"Well, that's good then, I hope those children will follow your example and become an honest adult in the future" [Gizzere]

I swear to god, she can read my mind...

Well with that, Diana and I head back to the inn, Charlotte, Savel, Singa and Farhah are fast asleep while Kara and Mara came running toward us once they saw we are back, showing Diana (instead of me first... well no, I'm not sulking... maybe a little...) the album they decorate

"This is nice and pretty!" [Diana]

""Right!!"" [Kara, Mara]

"And whose hand writing is this, it's so pretty" [Ash]

"It's Sis Alice handwriting... all of us asked her as we doesn't know how to read and write" [Rean]

Rean and Elise joined in from behind, well it looks like I just have to teach them that. Well, it come to no suprise as the literacy rate In this world is poor

"Don't worry, once we head to our new house, I will start teaching you guys" [Ash]

"Really!?" [Elise]

"Leave it to me" [Ash]
