After the battles against a group of Lou Carcolh and also with its queen, we met with an unexpected group of people, it was none other than servants from the Duke's family. Apparently, I have activated something similar to a trap wire and thus alerting them to come here and that's where the first problem begin. Instead of acknowledging that the drainage was in fact, swarmed with monsters, they accused us of releasing those said monsters and try to arrest us for it. Reasonable, but I don't plan on making it easy for them. They aren't that strong to begin with so just a single punch with earth hardening magic into their solar plexus would do the trick. 

The second problem come when I dragged each one of them into the castle (why I did it? I don't want to leave them behind and prolonged this breaching issue) If I did just that, then there's a good chance that the Duke's household will use this as a reason to send their personal soldier into the mansion and that's not good, for them (since it will only annoy me). But Yeah, me dragging them there caused a ruckus back then (fortunately not along the way as I simply hide them inside the bus golem). To make it worse the Duke's wife was present at that time. Well, I can't hit a woman but damn it, her action makes me want to punch her.

Fortunately for me, the King happen to pass by and quickly settled the matter. The Duke's wife become irritated once this case was simply dismissed as us was breaching into the underground drainage system was for the sake of investigating the cause  of the yearly endemic disease

"I see. Let me repeat it, the cause of this yearly endemic disease is due to the Lou Carcolhs using the water stone crystal as a source of their energy to breed and multiplies. Their actions in turn cause the toxin and bacteria inside their body to enter Water crystal stone, multiply and then being distributed via the drainage system. Plus, since the drainage system as well as the well and public toilets are all connected, in fact connected to the single water crystal stone, this causes an endemic of such proportion every year" [Diana]

"That's seem to be the cause your highness" [Lisa]

That's the conclusion that all five of us get once the investigation was over. We told the same thing to King Estel and thus he tasked us to 

"So Big brother will search for new crystal stone inside the Rock and Sea dungeon day after tomorrow?" [Savel]

"That's right" [Ash]

That's my job, to provide as much as viable and large water crystal stone. Water crystal stone is the same as regular magic stone, but the only difference is that unlike the one time used magic stone, it can be use in theory forever so long as you maintain it properly. 

As for Erinmorlin, he will lead a group of engineers to repair and if possible upgrade the drainage system

Flinar is a healer, and since the young healers don't have any teacher teaching them, King Estel proposed to him to teach those young healers. He then asked to be given some time to think about it

As for Lisa, she was asked to properly record all this events from all side, from my side to the noble to the guild master side, so that a proper record can be kept and use as a reference in the future

"So, anything happen today?" [Ash]

"Well..." [Diana]

I see, so Rafiah's friend did come here and fortunately didn't make any ruckus. But, they're saying that instead of dragging Rafiah back, they get the feeling the opposite was in fact, seems the case. Did something happen? Should I investigate it

"Don't, let us investigate it" [Diana]

"For a moment, I thought that Gizzere was here with us" [Ash]

It has been a while since someone did those mind reading thing to me, so I am quite shock about it. Still, I can guess why Diana prohibited me from doing so, and that's to ensure the safety of the orphans. I might be able to protect myself in case something happens, but what about them. That's a risk that neither Diana nor I would like to take.

"The clothing aunty and his son also came just now to seek treatment, and we treated them!" [Elise]

"It's hard but it was worth it!" [Mara]

"Agree" [Kara]

"I see, I'm proud of you guys" [Ash]

The clothing aunty and his son also contracted the disease. I don't know that. Oh... that reminds me, I still haven't developed a prototype device of a camera. They did request one after all, even the guild master and Diana asked me to develop it as an additional source of income for the orphanage.

Other than that, I guess nothing worth noting happen. I should call it a day and rest early, or so I thought

"Umm... teacher, If you're ok, can I request a training session with you tomorrow?" [Liyana]

"Tomorrow huh... I'm going to prepare for my job, so I might be tight on schedule, so why don't I teach you now, that's if you're still ok" [Ash]

"Gladly!" [Liyana]

"Can I join!" [Young healer A]

"May I join in as well?" [Syah]

"Sure, I don't mind" [Ash]

"Oh, I almost forgot, Ash, why don't you open a school or tuition as well? I can help you with that, considering how many requests you received, this should be the best course of action" [Diana]

"I'll think about it later" [Ash]

Truthfully, I already thought of it but with so many things to do with so little time, I cast it aside

"Well, let get started with the magic training" [Ash]

"I will!" [Liyana]

She's fired up, that's good. Plus

"Both of you, why do you have such caring look towards Liyana?" [Ash]

"Nothing" [Qis]

"Must be your imagination" [Alice]

"Haha, I guess things really are fine between both of you. I'm worried for nothing" [Diana]

""Princess!!"" [Qis, Alice]

"Something happen?" [Liyana]

"Nothing, let just start your training" [Diana]

Yup, something happen, but since Diana told me not to worry much about it, I just cast is aside. Hope this isn't a flag raising event though
