Chapter 6 - The ten orphan (2/2)
The innkeeper family are also among the good folks and I'm thankful for that
”My, My, you guys wake up quite early” [Innkeeper wife]
”Early bird get the worm!” [Farhah]
”That's true!” [Innkeeper wife]
As I take the seat, I help the innkeeper to clean up the table that we will use, Farhah and Charlotte do the same, and with that, the other eight come and join us where we are served with the behemoth meat. Well, the innkeeper ask me if I would like to sell to them some of the fresh behemoth meat, but I just gave them for free in exchange, they had to serve it for us for dinner and breakfast while the leftover can be used as they see fit to which they agreed
”Thank you for the food” [The children]
”You are welcome! Eat up and don't waste those food got it!” [Innkeeper]
”Yes” [The children]
They happily eat the food, well I can't imagine them wasting any food but it's a good reminder nonetheless. The innkeeper and his wife look at the children and they can't help but to smile.
”Well Ash, what will you do today?” [Innkeeper wife]
Since I haven't started to eat yet, the wife ask me those questions
”Good question, well the most urgent thing are to secure a house for them and as such I would leave and goes to the Merchant guild right afterwards, then I will buy them some basic necessities and finally selling the Behemoth part” [Ash]
”Well, if you ask me, you should buy their basic necessities first, the merchant guild are always full early in the morning but quite lax afterward, and you could sell them the Behemoth part there itself” [Innkeeper]
”I see, that's a good idea” [Ash]
”Do you have any idea as to what to buy for them?” [Innkeeper wife]
”That's...” [Ash]
”I thought so, well I have made a list yesterday itself so you could use the list provided here, I even write the recommended shop for each one of them!” [Innkeeper wife]
”Thank you so much! This will surely help!” [Ash]
”Well, our daughter Alice can't help you since she have to leave as her adventure guild clerking works pile up and we also can't leave the inn behind so this is our only way of helping you” [Innkeeper wife]
”No no, this is way more than enough!” [Ash]
”It wasn't! You know the hardships that will come when nurturing youngster, and what's it called? The orphanage? You and the kids might be targeted by those stupid fanatic so be careful. If you want, we can help keep on watching them as you but the basic necessities as well as buying a house” [Innkeeper]
”Well, I will buy the basic necessities with all of them, but for the merchant guild part, I will take those offer, and one more thing...” [Ash]
””Hm?”” [Innkeeper and wife]
”If those idiot have a nerve to even touch the hair of my sweet brother and sister, they will find their hand to be mysteriously cut off” [Ash]
”!” [Other]
”Haha, well that's the one soloing a Behemoth for you!” [Innkeeper]
”Idiot Idiot!” [Charlotte]
”Charlotte, that's a bad word, don't use it!” [Ash]
”But Idiot brother Ash use it?” [Charlotte]
Her innocence questions and smile leave me speechless, while Elise giving me a look that said ”be careful next time!” which hurt me more than it should. Well, look like I still have a long way to go before becoming a parental or a brotherly figure for them, but let just take it one step at a time
