Chapter 145 - Going to court? (1/2)
[Rean point of view]
”Alright, the cabinet is over here” [Rean]
”Such nice plates!” [Charlotte]
”I wonder if I can make more artistic and durable one?” [Karon]
”Sure you can!” [Farhah]
”And the chairs are all here” [Rean]
”Jump! Jump!” [Singa]
”Woohoo!” [Cupid]
”Singa! Cupid! Don't jump into the new sofa!” [Elise]
””But...”” [Singa, Cupid]
”No but!” [Elise]
”Do you want to change the dining table as well?” [Furniture guy]
”Hmm... Grandpa?” [Rean]
”I don't think so, but Wouldn't mind a spare or two since we almost always have guests with us” [Claude]
”Then I'll sell you a cheap one” [Furniture guy]
”Is it really alright?” [Kara]
”Don't worry, Grandma Gizzere did say she managed to find the highest quality furniture for us for the lowest price possible, plus, I'm sure Brother Ash wouldn't mind all this” [Zerolith]
”It's under the account of the orphanage rather than his own, but...” [Mara]
”Run run!” [Savel]
”Hey, the plates almost got broken!” [Charlotte]
”Sorry” [Savel]
”Sigh... can you guys play somewhere else for a while?” [Rean]
”No!” [Farhah]
”It's fine, I can bring them to the training hall with Behe” [Rafiah]
”I'll follow” [Elsa]
And the younger group goes to the training hall together with Sis Rafiah and Elsa. Right now, we are in the middle of renovation. Personally, I think that this is all a waste of resources and money as Housey can simply repair all of it with its fortress defense magic, but, there's a limit to how much it can be repaired, and repeated usage of it will ultimately lead to the same thing, that's why Grandpa Claude decided to just spurge some money on it. He is one of the people that Brother Ash entrusted the orphanage fund, with the other being Sis Mira backs at Malsia, so I guess it's fine
With the basic furniture all check, it's time to renovate other necessary things, and that's
”What material should we use to fortify the gate and the fences?” [Adventure]
”Well, Brother Ash will usually bring the highest quality materials to be use, but...” [Karon]
”Money...” [Kara]
”Yeah, plus, why buy it when he can bring it to us for free” [Mara]
”Wonder if we can ask Sis Mira for it” [Elise]
”Oh yeah! The Crystal Spawning block Malsia!” [Zerolith]
”But, it's hard alright for them to make it in such large quantities” [Rean]
”Guess you should ask your brother opinion for it” [Kronbir]
”If only the telephone can be use” [Kara]
”Now I wanted for that assignment of us to be finished!” [Mara]
”Well, let just see the bus golem and the training hall one last time” [Rean]
The bus golem have been damaged as well, but with Housey auto repair and Mr Erinmorlin expertise, it's in a good condition. Mr Erinmorlin had test drive it but just to be extra sure of it, plus, he himself ask me to drive it around
”Karon, it's your turn” [Rean]
”Right!” [Karon]
His eyes sparkle with excitement, well, who wouldn't. Hearing the bus golem sound, the younger group came running around it, and Farhah hijack Karon's position as the driver
”FARHAH!” [Elise]
~Gulp~
”It's dangerous! Don't run around” [Zerolith]
”It's true, but...” [Kara]
”Coming from him, it doesn't sound convincing at all” [Mara]
”Zerolith is right! It's dangerous so don't do it again!” [Rean]
”Right...” [Farhah]
”Hey! I'm also older, why didn't she listened to me!” [Zerolith]
”It's the elder aura” [Elise]
Well, that's true, plus, Zerolith rarely become strict with them, so the younger group won't take him seriously
After the test drive, Karon gives his feedback, saying everything is fine with it. Good
”You guys sure are lively this morning” [Diana]
”Princess!” [Other]
”Why did you come here?” [Charlotte]
”Well... is Claude here? I'll like to talk to him. Bond also” [Diana]
”Yeah! I'll go tell them!” [Savel]
I wonder what happen? As we walk with her toward the dining table, Princess Diana begin to talk
”Court!” [Claude]
”That's right. We can charge the Duke household and some prominent figures of the church, and for that...” [Diana]
Princess Diana begin to look at us. Her face that's happy with a bright smile outside turn into a heavy one. The mood also become more serious
”Can you guys go to the court?” [Diana]
”Sorry, can you please repeat it once more?” [Claude]
Grandpa Claude must be shocked hearing it, even all of us couldn't believe it at first but
”Is it really necessary for us to go there?” [Rean]
”Unfortunately it is. If possible I don't want any one of you to undergo any trial but those guy insist on it” [Diana]
”They're trying to defend themselves, saying that they're the victim here, a usual card that they always use” [Qis]
”The adventures and soldiers that have been helping you agree to go to the court to give their statement, but yours should be the most important one” [Diana]
”What are the chances that we can win?” [Kara]
”And the chances they will receive appropriate punishment?” [Mara]
”That's the hard part... they're simply corrupted, which is why, my father will be the judge himself” [Diana]
”!” [Others]
King Estel himself will be the judge? That's scary alright. We never met him before. Only Brother Ash had met with him (and quite a lot actually), and when we ask him about the king, he always says that King Estel isn't what he imagined King really is, giving the impression of a nice king, albeit when he is serious, his royal aura burst out, and that's when even Brother Ash scared of him
”And when is the trial?” [Claude]
”This is another problem, they insist on doing it yesterday but father manage to push it, well... tomorrow” [Diana]
”And how about their safety?” [Claude]
