[Naoto point of view]

Here we are, finally arrive at Malsia. The guard quickly recognise me and as usual greeted me. They have been wondering what takes me so long but I couldn't really tell them about my job given by The King of Malsia and her daughter Princess Nurhaliza, but alas, I think at this point they all knew about my involvement in Kiserre since there are few adventures that are from Malsia that partake in the incident back at Kiserre as well

We make ourselves to the castle first as to report regarding the incidence and also regarding Queen Rinz request of making an embassy there, for which he rewards me generously.

At Malsia's Orphanage,

"That sure takes you long" [Kanji]

"Anything happen when I am away?" [Naoto]

"Nothing, but..." [Kanji]

"But?" [Naoto]

"I'll talk to you later. Kana and Qudus have more information regarding it as compared to me" [Kanji]

"Understand, and before going any further, this is..." [Naoto]

"Sis Naoto, who is this pretty lady?" [Cat girl]

"Her long blonde hair is enviable!" [Blonde girl]

"Hey, don't rush into her!" [Naoto]

But it's too late, all of them quickly surrounded her and keep on asking question after question, but she looks comfortable around kids, like it's only a natural thing for her to be surrounded by them. Honestly, it's quite an amazing sight, with her motherly charm, it's no wonder that the kids back at Estel as well as here in Malsia doesn't have a hard time approaching her

"What do we have here?" [Mira]

"Wait the minute, isn't she!" [Haliza]

"Sorry for the late introduction, my name is Aries, I'm the paladin serving the current demon king" [Aries]

""SAY WHAT!!"" [Kanji, Seo Ah]

[Diana point of view]

And that's the suggested flow of the event, ending with my announcement of developing this area into a community center which will be led by Sir Ceanu Reaves. There isn't a single objection when I said that he will govern this area as this place has been isolated and poorly developed by Linda's and Muse's family family. Getting the approval to change the area govern was no menial task either, but thanks to Crow voluntarily exchange his govern land with them, we manage to settle it! Crow was of course seen as a fool but little do they knew at that time about this high risk gamble of us

"I object!" [Ash]

"Ehh, why?" [Kadeus's father]

"Sir Ceanu Reaves, from all of yours reaction, I do get the impression that he is quite a decent person, but I still refuse to serve THAT Duke's family!" [Ash]

"Hmm..." [Diana]

It's within my expectation that Ash here will voice out his opinion, and honestly, I don't blame him even a bit, as the orphanage was attacked by the Duchess. Not to mention, he also involved when the idiot noble son drag Alice into the Rock and Sea dungeon back then. I can convince him that Sir Ceanu Reaves will be the best choice but

"How about you talk to him directly the next time? If the community leader is dissatisfied with the governing noble, it will severely hamper the development of this area" [Diana]

"Hey! Don't just brush it off!" [Ash]

"Community leader?" [Rean]

"Well, I have been going around the neighborhood lately, asking about their opinion, and all of them vote for him as the representative, so that's that. Congratulations Ash" [Diana]

"FIRST I HEARD OF IT!" [Ash]

"Well, moving on" [Diana]

"We aren't done yet!" [Ash]

"It's fine, I can help you during your meeting with the gentleman Sir Ceanu Reaves. He's handsome but not as dashing as Rean here <3" [Muse]

"You never cease to amaze me..." [Crow]

I do feel pity for Ash, but if there's anyone that can convince him that Sir Ceanu Reaves can help to govern the area on my behalf it's Sir Ceanu himself. Plus, he will be meeting him alongside Crow, Muse, Liyana and other at a later date for further discussion about their respective roles, so for now, let just close my ear at his continuous ranting. 

I quickly summarize back the flow of event that will take place 

A day before my birthday aka Day 1: There will be a festival around this area, and it's up to the merchant and the locals here. They will get financial support from me through the merchant guild. Community leader should be responsible for it

Birthday aka Day 2: Debutante party start at night. It's preceded by marching from the castle to a large hall (that of course, will be created later on, and will serve as community hall or church later on). This part here will be handle primarily by me, and event includes blessings from the church (I still haven't received any news from Rumia about who is coming), present, some dancing and food. Sadly, it will be a close event. Community center will then be officially announced as the final event

A day after my birthday aka Day 3: Final day of the festival, and an open event with the local will be held together. I sincerely wanted to accommodate it into my birthday itself but due to time constraints (as well as the fact that they themselves insist on doing it on a separate day), we will held it at Day 3. Community leader should be responsible for it

"Sigh... so many jobs..." [Ash]

"We will be there to help you!" [Elise]

"Don't worry, you aren't alone" [Rafiah]

"I can't wait to get busy once more" [Claude]

"My relaxing life..." [Ash]

"Sometime, I do wonder if you're a good role model for the kids with this lazy attitude" [Qis]

Well, once again, I feel sorry for him, but behind those grunting, everyone knows he will do a great job, plus, everyone also shows their support, 

"Fine... I'll do it" [Ash]

"Haha, thank you" [Diana]

Well, time to brainstorm some ideas together

"So, are there anyone wanted to voice their opinions?" [Diana]

"I do have one idea" [Clothing shop aunty]

"And that is?" [Diana]

"Can we have a photo shooting session together? Of course, your highness will be the main center of attraction!" [Clothing shop aunty]

"But that's danger..." "Sure, why not" [Qis][Diana]

"That's good! Plus, you can also line it up with multiple clothes from your store, maybe even let them borrow some clothes like nobles clothes etc, that way it will be more fun" [Ash]

"Let do just that!" [Diana]

"I really want a photo together with your highness, so this really is a dream come true!" [Clothing shop aunty]

With that opening idea, multiple ideas were thrown one after another, and Ash naturally accept, improvise, discuss or simply reject some idea. 

"You really are natural at this" [Flinar]

"Already accepting his role" [Erinmorlin]

"Sigh... goodbye relaxing life, getting use sure sound fun" [Ash]

"There he goes again" [Alice]

"I wanted to say something, but it simply disrespectful to say it as he's the one that gave the idea of Valkyrie to the princess" [Bladel]

Well, technically I did pay him, but he's the one that refuse all the high figure monthly salary, asking me to use it for something more beneficial, so he doesn't really have the right to complaint of being use

"It will be boring if all the adventures, soldiers and knights do are patrolling around and maintain the safety, so how about some tournament as well?" [Ram]

"Good idea, we can use the training hall, but that mean I have to upgrade it." [Ash]

"Well, we do plan on using your training hall openly later on, so the budget will be handled by Mrs Gizzere" [Diana]

"We will discuss it tomorrow, shall we" [Gizzere]

"Sure, but regarding the tournament, should we have the prizing ceremony be handled by Diana herself?" [Ash]

"I'll see to it, maybe even a private talk" [Diana]

""""PRINCESS!!"""" [Liyana, Qis, Bladel, Yefefiah]

"Well, she's single and nobody wants her, so where's the harm" [Ash]

"Ohh, can you please repeat that! I'll have you know that I am the one rejecting all the wedding proposal sent to me!" [Diana]

"She's seriously snap..." [Ash]

And he has to touch this sensitive issue! What a jerk!

"She's sulking, how rare" [Ash]

"Ash, just don't make it any worse" [Claude]

"You really are insensitive to a lady feeling" [Lily's mother]

"Mrs Khamishah have commented the same before, you really should consider changing your attitude" [Rean]

"Fine..." [Ash]

"Sigh... let just continue our brainstorming session" [Diana]
