《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 5: Meeting with the noble and royal
Advertisement
Well, looks like the big Watcher that displays my fight with the behemoth will still goes on recording and showing my activity... This feel like I am some kind of celebrity, but to the people of this worlds, it had become a norm for them and doesn't find it strange at all. Well, atleast those ten children will ease up a little bit as they can see where and what I am doing, so I should just bare it for now, plus I will live in this world from now on so it's better for me to quickly get used to it.
As the knight that came and picked me up being greet by other knight, i just realized that he must be some kind of a big shot, maybe atleast the captain or vice captain of a squad in my opinion, well this is my first time seeing a knight so it's a moving sight for me (but it's greatly sullied by the fact that he's rude! Seriously, if the knight is like that of a good knight from any manga or novel or TV series, I would sincerely jump over the moon right now but oh well... not everything will go according to what we want)
In the castle waiting room, I was told to took a bath and cleaned myself up for which I gracefully did so. Still, I can't help but to notice something that will leave with with a bad impression, those noble are all well excessively dressed with a fine clothes and jewelry, with the interior of the castle being decorated with nothing but expensive looking material while those ten are left to defend for themselves... Well, it does happen back on earth as well but hearing it and seeing it are two different thing, so much so that it's kind of cold brutal wake up slap for me, as I thought that, I refuse to wear the attires given to me, instead going with the clothing that the goddess provided me with
With that, they thought me some etiquette on how to greet the noble and royal alike, for which I did learn a few manner, and when they summon me to greet them, their eyes!
(Tch! Remind me of Uncle and Aunty eyes) [Ash]
Full of greediness and also thinking of how they are gonna exploit me, it's sickening (Fortunately the king and one of the princess doesn't have those kind of look), and when they asked me to greet myself, I do as I was told and greet only the king and the said Princess (you are supposed to greet the king then queen but I decided to just skip it as the queen eye just remind me of my aunty) and then stopped, doesn't even bother to greet the other, for which the noble become pissed off

"You fool! Know your manner"
One of the noble shout
"Oh please, I'm not a monkey to be reminded of some simple manner thing like don't shout in this hall. I just don't feel like greetings the other" [Ash]
"!" [Other]
Hearing my reply, they are stunt! The princess giggle a bit while the king show sign of amusement albeit he covered it very well that it might be my imagination
"So you really don't feel like greetings other?" [King]
"No" [Ash]
"Very well then, let just continue with why you are called here today" [King]
"But your highness!" [Noble]
"Can you tell me a little bit about yourself young man" [King]
"As you wish, your highness" [Ash]
Now that's badass, he simply ignore that noble, maybe I misjudged the king a bit, well there will always be a pure gem among the stone, and maybe it wasn't him that excessively decorate the castle, even so I don't think I should I ask this question for now
"I am Ash,ba traveller and remain so uptill today" [Ash]
"I see, don't you wish to become apply citizenship in my country?" [King]
"Hmmm..." [Ash]
"Something wrong?" [King]
"Sorry for my rudeness, but let be honest, you wanted to hired me to do something right?" [Ash]
"Why you, know your manner!" [Noble]
"That's right, I'm glad you are quick to catch" [King]
"It's a tempting offer but as such I'm afraid I have to decline it" [Ash]
"!" [Other]
This time, even the king and princess make a suprise face, well I can imagine why, it's hard to be accepted to work directly with the royalty and as such one would be a fool to reject that, well I am that fool
"I'll explain, first off I just don't feel like giving up my status as a traveller as it bring me such freedom, and secondly, I just don't feel like working in the same environment as those greedy and disgusting eye that I refused to greet just now" [Ash]
"Hoo..." [Princess]
"I see" [King]
(Huh... they agreed. Somehow I feel glad) [Ash]
"You rascal! You should be punished for insulting us!" [Prince]
"Knight! Seize him!" [Queen]
"Ohh... I wouldn't do that If I were you" [Ash]
As I said that, I bring out the behemoth corpse, which suprises the audience
"Opps, my bad, I "accidentally" activate my item box magic and let out the Behemoth, forgive me for my rudeness" [Ash]
"Hahahaha, My bad, I'm sorry for laughing" [Princess]

The Knight stop and the noble and other royal can't help but bite their tongue, the king even giggle in response
"It's alright, thing happen" [King]
"Just make sure you don't "accidentally" do it the next time" [Princess]
"Of course, thank you for your kindness your highness, and as such I am sorry for taking your precious time only to be told such bad news" [Ash]
As I said that, I don't think there's anything left for me to said, and it might be rude as only the king can dismissed the meeting but
"As such, I would love it if you allowed me to go back home, those greedy and disgusting eyes started to get under my skin" [Ash]
"Sure, but may I ask you something" [King]
"I'm more than happy to answer it" [Ash]
"You are a traveller, and as such I do believe you just enter this country for the first time based on the record at the gate. So where is this home you are staying?" [King]
"Well, I just found them, we still doesn't have any house to stayed but as such I believe those ten orphan and I can find ourselves a new home starting tomorrow" [Ash]
"I see, well give me a minute, father, can I?" [Princess]
"Yes, consider this a gift from me for saving the life of my people" [King]
With that, the princess sign a letter and stamp it with the royal sign in it
"Here you go, just go to the merchant guild and show them this, we will cover the expenses" [Ash]
"Thank you your highness, I do believe this will be a great start for the orphanage" [Ash]
"Orphanage?" [Princess]
(Huh... no impossible, a princess that doesn't know what is an orphanage... could it be this world doesn't have such concept?) [Ash]
"It's a home where the orphanage from different race and age can come and take shelter, instead of them fending off for theirselves out there, I will provide them with shelter, food and education until they grew up and be able to take care of theirselves" [Ash]
"I see, such a lovely concept! Do you want our help to start it?" [Princess]
"It's a great offer but as such I have to decline it as I don't want them to use it as an excuse to force me to do their job" [Ash]
"A pity, but you are right on that one, but this here is a gift and as such I can assure you that there will be no strings attached to it" [Princess]
"Then I would gladly take it" [Ash]
As I take the letter, I bid them farewell
"Thank you for giving me this chance, I'm honoured your highness King Estel and Princess Diana" [Ash]
As they give me the permission, I quickly leave the castle, I can hear the sound of the dissatisfied noble and knight alike as I leave the hall, well not that it matter much for me.
Once I exit the castle gate, the ten orphan wait there for me! In a hurry, I rushed towards them
"Is it alright for you to reject their offer?" [Fox girl]
Well, the watcher still show my face and as such any action that I make being observed
"Don't worry about it" [Ash]
I assured them about it and the look of relief started to appear, when suddenly
"What is it little girl?" [Ash]
"Brother Rean said that you might go and work for them, received a medal and will leave us so..." [Little girl]
I see, she made a medal out of stone and some withered flower just to persuade me, well nice job since it does
"Haha, well, how about you put those medal to my clothes" [Ash]
"REALLY!" [Little girl]
"Gladly" [Ash]
As I kneel down towards her eye level, her clumsy hand attach the medal to my cloth, and as such I make a promise
"From here on out, I will protect you guys, until the day you become an adult, and as such please call me Brother Ash" [Ash]
"Yes, Brother Ash!" [Little girl]
She gave me a firm hug, it's warm... when is the last time i received such warm hug, well the answer is obvious, a day before my parents die, but now the idea of receiving it from them really make my eyes teary
"Well, it's getting late, so let find ourselves a large inn for us all" [Ash]
"But the money!" [Rean]
The eldest boy, Rean protest
"Don't worry, didn't I said that I will take care of you guys from now on! Don't worry about the money!" [Ash]
"But..." [Rean]
"Ah ah, like I said, don't worry! In fact if you don't come now, you might get lost" [Ash]
I forcefully take the hand of the little girl and guided her
"Well hurry up!" [Ash]
As they look toward eachother, their feet started moving, and as such, we found ourselves a large inn with a master room in it
