Chapter 279: Going to mermaid kingdom part 1

It's morning, and before departing to Kiserre, all of us gather around to have breakfast with the other. Grandpa Claude and Sis Rafiah actually makes Elise and I favourite foods and drink, and even cook extra so that we can store it inside Elise's item box magic. As we eat the breakfast, some of them who were from Kiserre ask us to give Mrs Saga some decoration that they make. That's sweet, even when they're apart, they still remember Mrs Saga who have been taking care of them tirelessly

The two of us, together with Mahsuri then went to the adventure guild. We thought to bring Behe with with us, but decided not to since it's better for Behe to stay here, protecting them together with Bobunny. Plus, having Mahsuri with us is more than reassuring enough

The adventure guild open early, with some of the adventures already taking request. Mother Aries and Kara are already waiting there for us, and so does Sis Diana, making sure everything is ready for the four of us

"As usual, I am quite reluctant to let you three go, and even Mahsuri went with you this time around, but alas, this is what we discussed six years back, not to let any country monopolize you, including me. So please, take care, and call us once you arrive at Kiserre" [Diana]

She is almost always worried about us, but her eye, it shows that she has confidence, confidence that we can prevail in any situation thrown at us.

"I already inform the adventure that will help you once you're in Kiserre. You just need to tell them once you're ready" [Aries]

"Thank you mother" [Kara]

After saying goodbye, we enter the inter-dungeon carriage, drive by Me Bond. This company has grown ever since six years ago, with cheap price and comfortable travel using the bus golem and camper van golem created by R&D of Estel

"Thank you for driving us there today, Mr Bond" [Charlotte]

"I just can't bring myself to let the other drive you around. So hop on" [Bond]

"Is it really alright for you to..." [Elise]

"Don't worry, I have been to Kiserre multiple times after that incident. Plus, you guys are far more important than my past" [Bond]

"If you said so" [Elise]

Taking the carriage with other people as well, the four of depart to Kiserre. Inside the carriage, we are welcome like celebrities, with parents feeling safe with our presence. The carriage will travel non stop, and will likely arrive at Kiserre before dusk. What used to be days of travel can now be cut short with technology

Of course, now, with devil rampaging around, and the wild monster becoming more and more active, even traveling using the main road carriers it own risk nowadays, but it is still safe, just have to depend on one luck. Should the devil suddenly emerge, the best advice will be to run as fast as they can. Some might chase after the carriage, some not. It totally random. That said, devil in the form of monster tend not to chase while those from the intelligence species like demon, beastman, human, elf, dwarf and rarely angel will, mostly to kidnap them and transform them into a devil itself

As the carriage take us closer and closer to Kiserre, all of the passenger, including us pray that the devil will not show itself, and true enough, there isn't a devil in sight. A good start to our journey

And before we know it, we safely arrive at Kiserre, with the four of us getting an easy entry to the country. We are grateful for this, as the guard just let us pass once they recognize us. They didn't even bother checking any sort of documents, but

"Tchh... Filthy beastman" [Guard]

"..." [Elise]

"Hey! Watch what you're saying!" [Charlotte]

"Charlotte. It's fine. Let us meet Mrs Khamishah straight away" [Elise]

"But!" [Charlotte]

"It's fine" [Elise]

"Please, excuse us" [Kara]

It always like this. She didn't even bother fighting back! Quickly saying goodbye to Mr Bond, I left the guard post with a distasteful feeling inside my mouth. Elise doesn't do anything bad, no, she always prioritize other before herself, so why did they still have to judge her just because she's from the fox beastman tribe

Once we enter the country, the sight of human everywhere is something else. The ratio of human to non human here is still large, and those from nin human, more of them are children or those with some form of disabilities. I wonder, what truly happen here six years ago

As night about to fall, the four of us wasted no time to search for the orphanage here. It suppose to be an old church, previously occupied by the old follower. It's been awhile since we last come here, so we are a bit lost, but

"You guys! Why are you here?" [Black cat beastman]

"It's Sis Kara and the other!" [Miriam]

It's the pair of cat beastman and her adoptive six years old human daughter. That female black cat, she's the mother of a pair of amazing adventure, the S rank sibling, Anjin and Kucin. If I'm not mistaken, the two of them are currently inside the country. Maybe they're currently taking some request from the adventure guild

"I see. Follow me then" [Black cat beastman]

"We will guide you there" [Miriam]

As we follow them around, we tell them regarding our business here, about the strange mermaids appearing the other day back in Estel and the event that lead us here. Once we finish our part of story

"Welcome! We have been expecting you!" [Nun C]

"Welcome to our orphanage!" [Miriam]

"Thank you" [Kara]

Being surrounded by those from orphanage feels rather natural for us now. We could afford some luxurious inn, or even ask the Embassy to help us regarding lodging, but nothing beats the sense of familiarity here.

"The four of you. Welcome. Just rest first, we already have room and beds ready for you, though I suppose one of you will rather sit on the couch, am I correct?" [Khamishah]

"If you would" [Mahsuri]

"Of course, I already prepared it" [Khamishah]

The talk between two monster lady. Somehow, the three of us feel rather chilly
