Ch 264: House Elves in Koa.
"Excuse us." A small little creature says to Lily in the halls of Koa one morning.
"Was that a house-elf?" Lily says a little upset since the poor creatures are basically enslaved.
"Kyra, you better be in your office," Lily says as she starts to make her way towards the elevator.
====================
Kyra meanwhile is in her office.
"Right but what if we used steel from here would that lessen the cost." Kyra asks
"It would but the safety of the armor would go down." Jarvis replies.
"What if we made it with a composite alloy with a metal from monster hunter world?" Kyra asks
"The material cost would go down but production would go up significantly. Also it depends on which material but it will likely have more defense than the current model." Jarvis says
"If that's the case let's look into it. They me be common soldiers but they are our people." Kyra says
"That will cost more." Jarvis says
"Jarvis, money is money lives are priceless." Kyra says
Suddenly the elevator door opens.
Lily having heard that last statementknows Kyra isn't enslaving the house elves.
"Kyra dear?" Lily asks walking in.
"Huh? Yes?" Kyra asks as she's suddenly kissed by Lily.
"I noticed some house elves in the school do you mind explaining how they got here?" Lily asks
"Ah the brownie spirits." Kyra says
"Wait what?" Lily asks
"Yeah they are actually house spirits that love to clean, I don't know why they started to be called house elves but for a race which loved cleaning and helping people they were taken advantage of." Kyra says
"How many do we have here?" Lily asks
"Around 200 or so." Kyra says as she starts to sort through paper work on her touchscreen desk.
"And their treatment?" Lily asks
"As you saw I required them to wear uniforms as a way to trick them into wearing clothes." Kyra says
"Yes and?" Lily asks
"It's hard to undo generations of brainwashing." Kyra says a bit upset that she wasn't able to get them to do more.
"I complement them on their job and they start crying from joy." Kyra says
Lily nods realizing it might take a while.
"Luckily we are gonna have really really long love so we can save them eventually." Kyra says no matter how many generations it takes.
=====================
Meanwhile out at a restaurant. The table is littered with glass and porcelain.
"Come on Harriet. Try again you were so close last time." Luna says as she watches Harriet pick up and accidentally crush another cup.
The waitress sets down another empty cup.
"Thank you so much for helping us." Luna says to the waitress.
"It's fine a lot of hunters have trouble with their semblances sometimes." She says as she watches the young couple.
Several other spectators are watching them as well. Only a handful have recognized Harriet as Kyra's daughter.
However the interaction between what is obviously two young lovers is cute.
