[Somewhere in Kiserre, a neighbouring country of Estel connected by the open field dungeon]
"Run, we have to keep on running!" [Adult man]
"Hang in there!" [Teenage girl]
"I, I can't..." [Young deer girl]
The young deer girl, still having a laceration all over his lower limb, cry. The old rusty iron shackles that they destroyed to free themselves are still there, dangling at her foot. With that condition and the fact that she's starving, no one can blame her not being able to run, but the situation demand it.
"It can't be helped" [Old dwarf]
"Old man! What are you doing!" [Adult man]
"Well, it's better for me to get caught and buy you some time to escape" [Old dwarf]
"That's stupid! They will just kill you on the spot!" [Adult man]
"Don't underestimate me. I might be old, but I was there 100 years ago, helping my friends warding the devil off" [Old dwarf]
"But that longevity medicine by that Estel's elf has run out!" [Young dwarf]
"Even so, this is our only way" [Old dwarf]
"NO!" [Teenage girl]
"I don't want that!" [Young deer girl]
"It's fine, plus..." [Old dwarf]
"..." [Others]
"My time have long been due..." [Old dwarf]
"Old man..." [Adult man]
"Now go! Don't make me repeat myself!" [Old dwarf]
"... Understood!" [Young dwarf]
"Let's go... Both of you!" [Adult man]
"NO NO NO!" [Young deer girl]
"Let me go! Let me go!" [Teenage girl]
"Bye-bye. Take care, and may the Goddess be with you" [Old dwarf]
The old dwarf send them off with a smile. Taking his old axe from his item box, he sigh one last time
"How I want to drink the coffee made by Claude with all of them once more" [Old dwarf]

~Big yawn~
~Slap in the mouth~
"Farhah!" [Ash]
"Hahahaha" [Farhah]
"That's funny" [Elf boy]
"Do it again" [Young girl]
"..." [Ash]
Sigh... fine
~Purposely yawn~
~Hit even harder~
"Alright you there, come here!" [Ash]
"Run!" [Farhah]
"KYAA!" [Little children]
"What a chaos" [Karon]
"It sure is lovely here" [Naoto]
"It sure does. Guess this mansion have become brighter ever since they move in" [Mira]
"Alright there, calm down. Ash, you should just rest now" [Kana]
"No need" [Ash]
After the night talk last night, I went outside to search for any portal stone that might be left by the Achalasia Externa group in Malsia. Well, too bad since I come empty handed even after searching from night till sunrise. Guess they must have taken some measure to combat that issue. Well, if they don't, it will works in our favour which is nice.
"Aren't you going to the castle afterward? You should just rest" [Naoto]
"True, but my time here with them is short, so let me play with them more" [Ash]
"That's sweet" [Seo Ah]
But it's the truth. The king summons me as to discuss the peculiar portal stone that I found at the dungeon yesterday. It's an important issue so I can't find any excuses to reject it. Plus, I'm sure Diana and Haliza will blabber non stop should I skip the meeting.
(Well, I'm sure it's not just the portal stone. The watcher did show to other that I had found an interesting item, so that must be included in today's meeting) [Ash]
Just when I had get used to it, that watcher suddenly decided to do it job. Sigh... I can imagine the nobles and merchants who will pestered me non stop just to get a hand on it.
"Sigh..." [Ash]
"Sigh..." [Singa]
"Why do you sigh?" [Ash]
"Why do you sigh?" [Savel]
"Oh I see..." [Ash]
"Oh I see..." [Cat boy]
Huh, then try this one
"If you must cross a course cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully" [Ash]
"..." [Singa]
"Cross..." [Savel]
"C C C C C... Charlotte" [Charlotte]
"That's petty..." [Zerolith]
Haha, If they managed to repeat this tongue twister, I will be so impressed that I will, I don't know, maybe treat them to whatever they like
.
.

"I'm off" [Ash]
"Bye-bye" [Kids]
"We will see you later" [Mira]
With the time nearing noon, both of us went out a bit later than I usually do should I attend a meeting, hey, I can already tell that those pesky merchants and nobles will like to have it, so this is just a countermeasure to prevent or should I say make me less annoyed.
And once we are at the castle gate
"Hello there Sir, may I have a moment of your time"
"No, No, don't listen to him, instead, why don't the two of us have some nice discussion"
"Baah, he is just a swindler, can't believe he even have the nerve to show up here"
"Why did that little girl get this golden opportunity"
"First with the princess and now..."
Bla Bla Bla, that's all I hear. Sigh... atleast the castle guards manage to control the situation, so they didn't really come close to me, but man, you got to respect their sheer will and determination to get this item of mine.
"Too bad for them, I already knew what to do with it" [Ash]
"This is simply outrageous, but I must said, it makes me excited" [Mira]
"Good" [Ash]
As the two of us are a bit late, it should be no surprise that we will be running late to the meeting, and with almost the same scenario happen inside the castle (and honestly, you just swap merchant and replace it with noble, since at the end of day, all my brain translate their words into bla bla bla) we arrive around 15 minute late
"Tchh, this is why I don't like commoner like them, not appreciating of our time" [Rude Captain 2.0]
"Sorry, we have no excuse" [Mira]
"This time around, I will say the same as she" [Ash]
"Hmph, atleast you know your place" [Rude Captain]
"Obviously, since I can ju..." [Ash]
"Ash, just sit" [Diana]
"How rude, don't they teach you not to interrupt when someone is talking" [Ash]
"Coming from you, it's almost ironic, no, I should use the term sarcastic here" [Diana]
"Just take your seat" [Ram]
And we begin the meeting, and the first list on the topic is obviously
"Can you sell the Crystal spawning block to us?" [Malsia's merchant guild master]
"Well, I will say this straight, no I won't, since this thing here belong to the director of the Malsia orphanage, and that's Mira here" [Ash]
"!" [Others]
"Right" [Ash]
