Chapter 82 - At Estel part 1 (2/2)
”Well, we should get going then” [Mimi]
”We will leave it to you” [Female Paladin]
”Ray, Mile, Kat, Blanc, better behave yourself!” [Lin]
”Yes mother!” [Lin's children]
The group of female adventures left and with that, Mr Syah, Mr Borg and Mr Jacks come to protect us. I don't think this is all necessary as it's just a waste of their precious time, but all of them insist on doing so. That's to say, I am glad that they're doing this for the sake of our own safety. While I do think they're doing it to protect us, I'm sure they're other motive behind it, not a bad one like kidnapping or hurting us but more like...
”You're in the right direction” [Gizzere]
”That scare me” [Rean]
”What do you mean by that?” [Lily]
”Rean here is thinking about all the adventure coming in and out and the reasoning behind it, and it seems like he is getting something” [Gizzere]
”Such as...?” [Kadeus]
”Think for yourself, adventure need to have a sharp and healthy mind, so why don't you brainstorm with him” [Gizzere]
Busy as she might, the Merchant guild master, Gizzere still spent some of her precious time to come and taught us something, which is highly appreciated. Unlike other, she didn't give us the direct answer for a question, instead, guiding us all to number of answers and make us think critically for each option.
Coming back to the doubt I had in mind, I don't think the answer is that hard to come, instead, I'm sure the reason why Brother Ash hired the adventure in the first place have something to do with it and that's...
”When are they coming?” [Rean]
”Who knows. But, that's why the adventures are all gathered here for. Primarily to protect all of you, even if it means to let them escape” [Gizzere]
”But that is...” [Rean]
”That's why your Brother is reluctant to go. Sure, the king and the princess gave their assurance but that wouldn't stop those guys from coming and knocking on this door. Even with all of this, I'm sure they're some of them with a few loose screw that will take advantage of his absence” [Gizzere]
”That is just...” [Rean]
”Just what are you talking about?” [Lily]
”Nothing...” [Rean]
”Growing up aren't you” [Gizzere]
I can't just tell them that this mansion would be targeted. The probability is there and so long as the adventures are guarding us, with the king and Princess backing us up, I would like to believe the chance to be minimal at best, but like Mrs Gizzere had said, they're some of them with a loose screw and we should all be cautious about it.
(Still, if Brother Ash and the adventure guild are cooperating together, surely the king and Princess did the same. I wonder what will they do in this situation) [Rean]
”Speak of the devil” [Borg]
”It's looks like she's all alone” [Syah]
”Just like the last time” [Jacks]
”!” [Rafiah]
”Rafiah, stay back...” [Yefefiah]
”Rafiah...” [?]
Isn't that, the old follower that's with Sis Rafiah? They're friend if I'm not mistaken and she had come here once during the endemic disease. I wonder what she comes here for today.
(I'm confused, but...) [Rean]
Brother Ash isn't here, and now it's up to me to protect the other siblings.
”Welcome, how may I help you” [Rean]
”!” [Others]
