[Kiserre's orphanage]
[Saintess Rumia point of view]
Preparation for the first mass lead by us, the original teaching (or what they love to call the new teaching) going ever so smoothly. The orphans, which number around 50 (which beat both the Estel and Malsia orphans number by 15) gladly help along. Some of them though, aren't that excited, and from the looks of it, they aren't mingling around with other that much, maybe they're awkward, or maybe they're simply too sad by their lost.
”...” [Lizard kid]
”...” [Green hair boy]
”...” [Long hair girl]
I wonder why. Well, should just ask them straight, but
~Run~
”Wait!” [Rumia]
~Surprise~
Contrary to my petite appearance and my usual small and soft voice, my shout however, will leave other jaw wide open, and their reaction afterward is the same reaction as what the three kids shown, staring in disbelief as to how a small built lady like me can shout like that. I quickly approach them and lower my body, as to meet them at their eye level
”Can you help me, please! I really need to do something!” [Rumia]
”But, we are busy...” [Long hair girl]
”Pretty please!” [Rumia]
”...” [Lizard kid]
”Fine...” [Green hair boy]
Getting their approval (reluctant as they are, I quickly drag them to the kitchen). Initially, we don't plan on giving food, but, seeing as to how we can spread some happiness, we decided to cook something, and I was left with the task of cooking some biscuits.
(Oh, almost forgot! Dear Goddess Achalasia, please, lend me some cooking material for my Durian biscuit) [Rumia]
(I already prepare them in your item bag) [Goddess Achalasia]
(Thank you so much!) [Rumia]
Entering the kitchen, I quickly open my item bag and let out the material needed, and
”Let start making some biscuits!” [Rumia]
”It's hard!” [Green hair boy]
”We don't know how to” [Lizard boy]
”Plus, it wouldn't be great!” [Long hair girl]
”Don't worry, it will turn out fine. Here, let me show you” [Rumia]
Showing them step by step, from kneading the flour to opening the king of fruit, I can see their sour faces turn to smile, ever so slowly. It still isn't enough to let them open up their feelings to me, but that is alright. That will be Mrs Saga and my colleague job, so the least I can do is help them to build a rapport. Once we are finish
”Oh no!” [Rumia]
”What is it this time” [Long hair girl]
”I forgot, I am the one that should lead the mass today, so can you guy give the attendees the biscuits” [Rumia]
”But...” [Lizard boy]
”If they try to hurt us...” [Green hair boy]
”Really? That would be impossible” [Rumia]
”And why is that” [Long hair girl]
