《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 251: Meeting it once again

[At Faris and Faizi inn]
"They crossed the line!" [Ash]
"Indeed" [Seraph]
"Just thinking about what they will do to Saint Louis makes my blood boil" [Alaric]
"Still, what you tell us is a worrisome news" [Faris]
"The fallen god will awaken much earlier than anticipated. If that was indeed true, then I can see why Saint Louis taking such drastic action" [Faizi]
"But... There are other ways!" [Linda]
"Sigh... What done is done. At least he is still alive right now, and you have located their location, am I right" [Ash]
"That I do. If only there isn't a powerful barrier that mess with other unauthorized person from detecting it, then Saint Louis won't resort to such tactic" [Linda]
"Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember, we are fighting against a group of fanatic that manage to infiltrate a major religions and they believe awakening the fallen god is a prophetic act. A powerful barrier is expected in such case" [Seraph]
"True. Instead of self blaming, why don't we discuss each of our finding first" [Faizi]
"Please do so" [Alaric]
True. Right now, time is gold, NO! If what Saintess Angela said was true, time right now are more precious than gold. I'm sure Linda is loathing herself for letting Saint Louis do a reckless plan all by himself, and I personally feel the same. He has my gratitude for doing this with my siblings in his mind, but shall something bad happens to him, then I don't know how I will face Saintess Rumia and explain it to her what transpired here. Heck, the guilt will most likely consume me, and that's exactly why I have to make sure Saint Louis will come home safe and sound
Listening to Faris and Faizi, the two of them repeat back about the Achalasia Externa group. They can't find a concrete number but it's safe to assume that they're around 1000 of them. Quite little from what I imagined, but given that they're controlling most of the behind the scenes of this old religion, than it's safe to assume that they're dangerous and should not under any circumstances be taken lightly, and

"The group are promise to go to the other side, to meet with their creator, Goddess Achalasia" [Faris]
"But according to what you told us, the information from Mr Claude and Filvisar, their true goal is indeed the awakening of the fallen god" [Faizi]
"Then it's safe to assume that majority of them are being lied, and being used by the true core members of the group" [Alaric]
"I will agree with that. I don't know how they can accept the lie, but given the circumstances, I'm sure once they manage to awaken the fallen god, those guys will become the devils that will serve the fallen god" [Seraph]
The term devil once again come into play. Demon is a race in this world, and as for devil, it's the one that follows the fallen god, and just so happens that majority of the devils are from the demon clan way back then
"Sigh... So that means that even if we were to capture the many of the thousands, it will be useless, no even less than useless, a complete waste of our precious time and energy" [Ash]
"Indeed. They're nothing more than sheep, so we should focus more on capturing the true core members, like Saintess Angela and the half giant Zin" [Faris]
"Easier said than done" [Alaric]
"True. We severely lack in manpower. This isn't like back then during the Kiserre's incident where we just barge in into the castle" [Ash]
Back then, we have Queen Rinz of Kiserre herself supporting us, and not to mention the various nobles and knights as well as adventures supporting the five of us, and now, there are only six of us (and we have to minus both Faris and Faizi since they're non combatants), basically suicidal if we barge in straight. Our only option is infiltration into the place where Linda had found, but it's still dangerous nonetheless.

"This is dangerous, our only option is just infiltration but with only the four of us... If only Thanatos is here!" [Ash]
"You can't find him?" [Linda]
"Sadly no" [Ash]
I have waited in the cemetery for ages, hoping any minion of God of Death to appear all the while appreciating the graves of the first saint and saintess, and yet, there is none of them there. I even went looking around at other places and yet...
""!"" [Ash, Linda]
"What?" [Alaric]
"Both of you are acting rather strangely" [Seraph]
""Could it be..."" [Faris, Faizi]
Just now, what's with that chills... Only the two of us can feels it, most likely due to
"Hey why don't we go and check the cemetery once again" [Ash]
"Please let it be what we think!" [Linda]
"All of you go, and as for us, we will try to gather any more information" [Faris]
"Right! Be careful" [Alaric]
"We will, and the same go to all of you" [Faizi]
"Depending on the situation, we might go to the palace straight away, so if that were to happen, we will let you know" [Seraph]
~Nod~
Not bothering to disguise myself, the four of us went out into the empty night street and went straight to the cemetery direction. It's a chilly night with the wind blowing rather strongly and thus making the chill even worse. There are occasions where we will stumble with a group of people and as expected, they're rather calm, indicating that the whole operations to capture Saint Louis was done under utmost secrecy. Saint Louis does have a reputation of wandering all alone, so even if the new headquarters were to press an answer, they can just feign ignorance and say that he might be lost inside or getting attack my a powerful monster inside the dungeon
"There's the cemetery" [Ash]
"Right! Let's hurry up!" [Linda]
Once we arrive, Linda and I went straight to the centre of the cemetery, the same one where the first saint and saintess graves are, and
"As expected!" [Ash]
"I don't know their name but..." [Alaric]
"Each one of them are powerful" [Seraph]
"Please! Help us!" [Linda]
"Thanatos, I suppose all of you gather here because of the fallen god related matter?" [Ash]
"Indeed" [Thanatos]

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
