[Seo Ah point of view]

Yesterday, after coming back home from sight seeing around Estel, we are all surprised by the sudden visit of the famous paladin, Mrs Aries. She was indeed a gorgeous blonde hair lady, and she was delighted to see us all, particularly

(Kara and Mara, I guess they really share some connection with Mrs Aries) [Seo Ah]

But what? Neither of us have a single clue about it, and we can only speculate things from our side. I ask the older group (excluding Kara and Mara of course) about it. They (excluding Lara and Nara) did notice about Mrs Aries and the twin having some sort of connection, but alas, they're still unsure about it. Even when we ask Brother Ash, he simply say let give her some time to explain, and when Sis Mira ask what would he do should Mrs Aries ask to adopt the twin, I can see him making a complicating faces. Happy and sad at the same time. 

"Hurry! Saintess Rumia morning speech will start" [Farhah]

"The elegant red hair saintess, I wonder how she looks like" [Elf girl]

"Can't wait to meet her" [Cat girl]

Us in the girl room get ready to change, not only to go to the new church inside the gigantic hall (call Diana hall), but also to greet the royalty and noble coming to visit the orphanage soon after this. Driving us there will be Sis Rafiah (Brother Ash and Sis Mira are busy making preparations), and once we arrive, we quickly take the front raw seat. It packs with those from around neighborhood, and not to mention, the ratio of human to non human is almost equal, something unheard of even in Malsia where the human and non human interaction is said to be the best

"O Goddess, by your guidance..." [Rumia]

And there she is. She really is petite like Brother Ash mention, and cute as well. More importantly

(Every word of her, it simply... captivating) [Seo Ah]

Her voice, it's like a musical instrument gifted by the goddess herself. Her eye that is full of affection, every move she makes have it purposes. This, I might be exaggerating, but it's like, I can feel the goddess sitting right next with us. 

(I think I found it!) [Seo Ah]

(Damn it, she's simply gorgeous) [Kanji]

(True) [Ex thug C]

(I think I'm in love) [Ex thug A]

Usually, I will tell them don't ruin the mood, but I can empathize with them on this one

After the morning speech of her ended, she greets us all.

(She's coming. You can do it Seo Ah! Tell her from the bottom of your heart) [Seo Ah]

She's approaching. You can do it! You can do it!

"Hello there, you are?" [Rumia]

"I'm Seo Ah, the eldest of the orphans. Can I ask for a request?" [Seo Ah]

"What is it, dear Seo Ah?" [Rumia]

"Can I become a sister and train under you, O Saintess!" [Seo Ah]

"Oh my..." [Rumia]

"!" [Other]

_________________________________________________

Can you do it, Ash? That's what her soft voice says yesterday, but her face, the face that implies do it properly will you! I know that she's trying to make herself look better, but why don't you do it instead... Well, at least I hope she didn't bring any rude guest (not that I am one to speak)

(Now now, it's for your own good as well. That way, more people will come to help those ten kids in the future) [?]

(True. I am grateful, but you know me) [Ash]

(And the "empty treasure chest" of yours, the mana requirements have come back down) [?]

(That long huh... well, I did replicate an A rank magic core from it) [Ash]

Guess I should use it one last time before giving it to Diana as her birthday present. I so wanted it for myself, but don't be a jerk, will me? Plus, it's Diana we are talking about, I can trust her, and she can put it for better use as compare to me. I can always ask to borrow it back though

"Ash, Mrs Khamishah said she will depart tomorrow with Queen Rinz" [Mira]

"I see. Thank goodness we still have enough bedroom left" [Ash]

"I just finished some work related to the kebab owner stall, guess I will prepare the bedroom for them" [Claude]

"Please do, and thanks" [Ash]

Jot it down, jot it down. The guest list keep on increasing. 

"..-. .. -. .. ... .... / -.-. .-.. . .- -. .. -. --. / . ...- . .-. -.-- / -.-. --- .-. -. . .-. / --- ..-. / - .... . / .... --- ..- ... ." [Housey]

"... .- -- . / .... . .-. ." [Calypso tree]

"Meow" [Behe]

"I see, good job cleaning the mansion" [Ash]

I guess all that's left is to wait for the kids to come back as well as waiting for the guests. Well, I will only take them for a tour around the orphanage, as for the neighborhood area, I guess Diana and Ceanu will do it. Though I get this feeling that they will drag me to come with them

~Sound of bus golem being park~

Guess they're back, with a certain red hair saintess as well. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one for that. Not only Rumia, there are Flinar, Erinmorlin and Lisa as well with them. Oh yeah, the three of them are from the Beastman Kingdom, so it logical they would like to see their own King. Plus, Druser did mention he would like to meet the three as well, I wonder why. 

And not long afterward, our guest arrive, just that

"Ash, behave yourself" [Mira]

"I suddenly don't feel like it" [Ash]

I can tolerate most of the guests (King Estel, Diana, Qis, Ceanu, Crow, Fourth Queen, Zaidi, Haliza, Druser, Aries, Leogris and Motra) but why does the first, second, and third queen are here as well! Just why did the King have to bring all of his wives! I'm already annoyed by seeing them

"Morning everyone, I am Mira, Head of Director of all three orphanages. Thank you all for making your time to visit us" [Mira]

"Unless the three..." [Ash]

~Weird sound after getting elbowed by Mira~

(He deserves that) [Karon]

(Agree, though I do know he didn't like the three queen) [Zerolith]

Grrr... Fine, I won't talk for the rest of the day. That would be easier. I signal Mira to continue as the guests in front of us trying their best not to laugh or making a palm face

"Thank you for the warm welcome, Head of Director" [Haliza]

"It's my pleasure your highness. Now then, allow me and the butler here to give you a guide" [Mira]

"Please follow us" [Claude]

And they begin their tour. Now that I think of it, this is actually the first time King Estel himself come and visit the mansion, and he alongside other inspect every corner of the house, especially intrigued by Housey and the fortress defense magic of mine

""Fortress defense magic..."" [Leogris, Druser]

"Not to mention, the spawning blocks getting integrated in such a way, no wonder you also got the title the great scythe magician" [Aries]

"Plus, there are two S rank magic cores here, one for fortress defense magic, and another for golem. Impressive" [Motra]

(I swear to god, same reaction as always. Glad I get him to work for me) [Diana]

So far so good. Maybe I really should zip this vocal cord of mine for the rest of the day. We have the kids demonstrate about the training hall, have Calypso demonstrate her unique abilities to entertain the guest. I don't want to admit, but that usually annoying fairy sure know how to entertain our guests. She can make flower bloom in an instant, before reverting it back to normal state. I wonder what kind of magic is that? It wasn't in the knowledge granted to me, so maybe I should ask her later on

Once we are at the dining hall, the group pass in front of Mahsuri and

(This is... Fallen god? It's subtle. But, he/she also have the power of Holy Beast of Earth within. The power, it's only for an instance, is she mocking me!) [Mahsuri]

Looks like Mahsuri also felt something. Not only her though

((((((...)))))) [Rean, Elise, Lara, Nara, Savel, Charlotte]

I guess having awaken the power of the ten heroes, Rean, Elise, Savel and Charlotte also felt something wrong. As for Lara and Nara, they're affected by the artificial blessings back in Kiserre, so they reacting to Motra just confirm it all, the question is

(Is he/she toying with us?) [Ash]

(Ash...) [Rumia]

(You too?) [Ash]

~Nod~

This double confirmed it all, something amiss, something definitely amiss with this guy/lady. How should I approach this. If only Mahsuri can just smack him/her, that would be nice, but I guess she also start thinking about the reaction from the Beastman Kingdom

(Fufu, looks like they're agitated. Play along a little bit more, will you, Ash, Homunculus, and the ten heroes) [Motra]

.

.

.

At the dining table, we arrange the best of the food prepared by Claude of course, and not only that, the food by the kids are also presented, as they're all eager to contribute something. I thought with our guest being the nice archetype of nobles, it will be ok, but no, the bad archetype of queens is also here, and

"What are these sub standard food?" [Third Queen]

"!" [Kids]

(Calm down me, don't get agitated) [Ash]

"Just throw it away! I don't want this" [Second Queen]

"Can't agree more" [First queen]

(Calm the hell down...) [Ash]

I swear to god if they say one more line, the volcano inside of me will burst. Looks, the kids eager faces turn into a disappointing one, until

"Delicious as always" [Diana]

"True, do forgive me for breaking the etiquette, but I can't help myself to eat such wonderful food" [Qis]

"Really!" [Kara]

"May I have this one?" [Aries]

"Ohh... that's the one that the two of us cook" [Mara]

"Then I will gladly eat it" [Aries]

"Look at her, cherry picking just because her dau... I mean just because her favourite pair make them" [Motra]

"""...""" [Flinar, Erinmorlin, Lisa]

"Please, help yourself for our small tea break" [Mira]

"If you don't mind" [King Estel]

So they really are... What should I do. Flinar and Erinmorlin as well, should I ask them, instead of asking Lisa about what actually happen. 

"Princess, try this one" [Cat boy]

"I will. You always bake this cheesy bread, and you have improved a lot" [Haliza]

"Thank you" [Cat boy]

"My toast butter, is it good?" [Singa]

"It is, just the way I like it" [Ceanu]

(There are some roasted side, but he eats it without care. He must have purposely pick it up as to prevent the three queens from complaining about the food) [Crow]

"This meat is good" [Druser]

"True, the butler really are talented" [Leogris]

"It's like I am at the castle" [King Estel]

"Thank you for your compliments" [Claude]

Why am I the feeling overly proud for Claude, and Claude, you're one hell of a butler, to receive such high praise from the three kings. 

After the small tea break, Aries here stay for a bit longer with those three and the kids especially Kara and Mara (she got permission from Druser), and as for the rest, they quickly inspect the neighborhood area

"Why don't you come with us" [Fourth queen]

(She purposely drags me didn't she!) [Ash]
