3 1.3 Orphanage (1/2)

”Hello everyone, I am Nara Yan. You can call me Nara. I don't remember much about my past but Andrew found me injured in the forest and treated me.”

”Hello, Nara and Andrew. I am Rose, why don't we go inside and talk.”

I greeted everyone who was waiting for me outside the orphanage. The one who answered me was Miss Rose, a woman in her early 20s. Rose was a Miko from the temple who also lived in the orphanage to take care of children. The orphanage ran on the donation collected by the temple.

Inside there were chairs around the table in which we sat. I sat between Ronald and Arica. Rose brought some warm drink that smelled like tea and we all started drinking it and eating meat skewers.

”Thank you Rose. How was your day?” Andrew asked Rose while drinking his cup of tea in front of him.

”It was good. I just returned after offering my prayers at the temple” Rose answered while pulling her chair and sitting on it.

”Now, why don't you all introduce yourself to Nara. He will be staying here from today so take care of him, okay.”

After Rose asked everyone to introduce themselves. Ronald started the introduction by introducing himself.

”Hey Nara, I am Ronald. I am training to become a knight. If you need help with anything here, let me know.”

He was 16 years old which is not much different from my age here. He had a muscular body for someone who is just 16 years old. He had blue eyes blonde hair. Following Ronald a girl stood up she had cute dog ears and fluffy tail.

”Hello, I am Arica. As you can see I am a Dog people. I am also training to become a Knight. I like cute boys so I think we will get along.”

Arica said wagging her tail and looking at me with playful eyes. She had cute black dog ears and fluffy tail. Her hair and eyes were also black.

”Uh... I am Marina. I am training to become a magician. Nice to meet you.”

Following Arica, a cute girl with pink hair and tail and cute cat ears spoke. She looked nervous somehow. She is probably the type that is shy while meeting new people.

”There is no need to be shy Marina. You should try to have more confidence in yourself.”

A human girl who is probably Nina according to the description Andrew gave me spoke to Marina. She then turned towards me and started speaking.

”Hey Nara, I am Nina. I am also training to be a magician. I help with the orphanage works here. Since you are new here I can show you around the town when you are free”

She was a human with beautiful purple eyes and long purple hair.

”And finally I am Sistina you know. I am training to become a Magician too. I want to join the Royal knights someday, you know.”

A cute white-haired fox girl with a beautiful white tail spoke. She had a beautiful voice.

They all looked like one big happy family. I was happy to be able to live among them. Ronald and I will be sharing the room since we both were guys. It was a small room with a window and two beds. Ronald used to keep the room clean. I didn't have any clothes so Andrew gave me clothes that were donated to the orphanage.

Since we were in our room after finishing tea. I decided to ask Ronald about various things related to the orphanage and this world.

”Hey, Ronald, how do you usually spend your days here at the orphanage?”

”Usually we help sister Rose with the work around the orphanage and temple. Sometimes Martha comes to help us with the work too. We also train ourselves in the open field behind the orphanage and study magic in the library since all of us want to join the Magic Knight academy which is in the city next year. The village library is free to use for us so we usually go there to study.”
