Chapter 147 - 147. Wandering Adventurers (1/2)
When we reached Keating's Day Care Centre, the children clamoured around us and wanted us to tell some of our tales in adventuring around the forest and around Ingmery.
The children were excited at our presence since it had been some time since I had last visited the children due to being busy with other matter. And once we were there, the children spotted us and rushed over to us.
It was a rather heartfelt welcome that the children had given us and so I decided to tell a story since their mothers would end their shift soon and would be coming to collect their children after work.
And so here I am rewriting this chapter once more since there's a bug in this app that happens to wipe out not just a few paragraphs but the whole chapter. Uurrgghh... I think I'm going to copy this whole chapter before I close it or so a spell check.
After spinning a tale with my fingers and basically had the children eat from the palm of my hand, they were filled with awe and excitement.
”So you had slain the dragon and all the dragon did was left its dentures before it died? What good is dragon dentures do, Uncle Mars?” one of the children that were sitting on Patricia's lap asked me. Mars was a short nick for me since the children find it hard to pronounce my full name.
”If any of you children doesn't want to listen to your mummy and daddy and goes to bed early or refuses to brush your teeth before bed, the dentures would come and find you and BITE you in the ass... I mean knees... AAAWWWOOO...” I made a clamping motion with my hands and clamp it on the girl's knees that were sitting on Patricia's lap.
”Hah Hah Hah hah hah...” I laughed so hard when the children squealed and screamed in fright. It was my kind of thing to scare little kids after they listened attentively to your little story.
Their mothers who came to pick up their children can't help to laugh as well since it scared the children and they all rushed to them and said they will listen to their mummy and don't want the Dragon dentures to come and bite them when they go off to sleep without brushing their teeth. Hah hah hah.
Their mothers came and say their gratitude to us for employing them, giving them a chance and pace a way through their livelihood and at the same time allowing their children to be cared for in the Keating's Day Care Centre as there are other older kids who would be doing the mentoring as usual.
When we walked back to our Castle after entertaining the children and spoken to the scholars, we discovered a group of adventurers were wearing their coat of arms of their respective houses and were waiting for our arrival.
”Excuse me, Guild Master and Mistress, we are from the Northern District and I am from a warrior from House of Lord Mountbatten, these are Rangers from House of Rising Sun, the Assassins from House of Lady Katrina and these Wizards from House of Arcane.”
”The 36 of us wanted to form our own party band and would like to ask for your kind opinions but we do not have the intention to leave the House as we had spent quite a considerable amount of credits to reach to where we are now.”
”Would you let us use your training grounds so we would be able to train and improve further? ” a young warrior who becomes the spokesperson for the whole group named Nelson spoke up.
”Sure... Whatever house you all came doesn't bother one bit. You may use the obstacles to clear some first and every station has its explanation as well as safety guidelines. Roam one round first and observe and then you may start the run down as many times as you like.”
”Let me know if you want to use the static stations. I need to activate for you and you need to arm yourself with those wooden weapons instead. No live firing or weapons inside the FIBUA.” I explained as I pointed out to the weapons rack and they all chorused their appreciation and comprehension about the rules and regulations.
”You are really that kind-hearted to let outsiders use our training grounds as theirs. The House should be able to provide with such training facilities if not how are they going to compete with us?” Patricia pouted her lips as she mentioned the fact.
”Naaahhh... It is just a small matter, dear. It doesn't benefit me or you whether they use this facility of not. Let them be. We can't be too stingy and just privilege it to our members-only, right? Except for the pool, of course, it's not open for public. Hah hah hah...”
I ribbed at Patricia and we ran around the courtyard and went inside the Castle where I wanted to observe and guide the interns next.
”Salted corn kernels with coconut gratings and butter. All these to be molten in a cup and could be steamed individually on bowls. Go on, try it. You gonna love this simple snack.” I motioned them to make some desserts since there was nothing much to do today.
”Help yourself to the kitchen and feel free to create your own snacks like pudding and steamed cakes. No worries, just inform the senior cooks and they could assist you to get the necessary ingredients.”
