"I see now, thank you" [Ash]
"No, thank you good sir for saving us all" [Slave A]
"Yeah, if it weren't for you, who knows what will happen to us all" [Slaves B]
"You're welcome" [Ash]
"Alright next please!" [Knight A]
Right now, I am opening a photo booth. Why is that, well it happeyn when I ask the now free slaves whether any one of them knows Bond, Kronbir, Elsa and Cupid. Since it's rather ineffective, I brought out their photos and shown them to ease my process. When Queen Rinz saw it, she asked me to take the photo of all the slaves that are captured and brought in outside from Kiserre, and those photos are to be hang in a board where the families member can then search their current status (alive or dead) and where they're placed temporarily.
There are around five temporary centers to help those slaves and each center have a board, and within each board, I divide it into alive and deceased to ease the process. This whole process is kinda like how a country back on earth will handle thing when a big disaster happen.
""..."" [Lara, Nara]
"Sorry, you must be bored, but hang in there a little bit longer" [Ash]
~Nod~
We have been doing this for three day straight and both of them have been following me ever since. From capturing the prince to rescuing those who are captured, giving treatment, going in and out for meeting, interrogation and now this. Now that I think of it, they aren't that tired, for a child of their age, they're holding off well.
"Ros... Ros!!!" [Lioness A]
"Big sis is..." [Young Lion A]
"Can you please take care of them, I will go to the mortuary to take her..." [Lion A]
"Yes!" [Young Lion B]
So, another one huh, still
"It's dangerous for you to go alone. Hey guard there, bring him there" [Ash]
"No, you don't have to..." [Lion A]
"And do you want your wife there to buried two bodies?" [Ash]
"!" [Lion A]
It's harsh for me to blurt it out directly, I can phrase it better, but I won't since he ought to think of his own safety. This country is a fanatical when it comes to the false old teaching and someone like him (a lion beastman) will only get treated harshly shall he walks all alone. Queen Rinz has thought of that, so that's why she ask only those adventures, soldiers and knights whom aren't that fanatical to help around, and among them who helped, are those who family members that were freed by us, thus, they're way more than happy to serve the Queen as a form of gratitude
"Let get going sir, I will guide you" [Soldier A]
"Thank you" [Lion A]
Sigh... good. I don't want to see more of that, instead I would rather see something like that

"Kirt! Kirt!" [Red haid man]
"You really are alive!" [Brown hair man]
"Of course! What do you think I am!" [Half man half beastman]
"Hahaha, I'm so glad!" [Brown hair man]
"Man, when we heard you are getting kidnapped by the dark guild and the slave trader, all of us are so worried!" [Red hair man]
"Even the True Beastman Group approach us, suspecting us of killing you!" [Brown hair man]
"Shit got really bad huh... but thanks for not giving up on me!" [Half man half beastman]
"Well, come, beer on me!" [Red hair man]
True beastman group... I do remember Lisa telling me about that terrorist group. They are...
"This is the last one" [Knight A]
"Alright, smile" [Ash]
~Teenage boy smile~
"Perfect, now fills in your details and we will start distributing these photos to other centers" [Ash]
"Thank you!" [Teenage boy]
"Welcome, ohh, did you by any chance knows any one of these?" [Ash]
Time to show him Bond, Kronbir, Elsa and Cupid photos, but unfortunately
"I'm sorry" [Teenage boy]
"It's fine" [Ash]
A negative... that means...
(I should bring them here and let them take a look at the deceased photos then) [Ash]
Problem is whether they can take the news or not, plus, some of the corpses have been so badly mutilated that I don't even want to take photos of it. A stuff of nightmare is a perfect word to describe it
(I don't know how to break this bad news to them though... What I am afraid the most is that they fall depressed, and Cupid is only five years old, nearing six just like Charlotte, I wonder if she knew about life and death concept) [Ash]
My stomach hurt just from thinking about it, I don't want to tell them but I have to. I couldn't ask Crow, Lisa, Alaric or any of Crow's personnel to do it though, that will be rude and heartless
~Light tap~
""Alright??"" [Lara, Nara]
"Sorry, it was nothing" [Ash]
Well, can't tell them about it. Let a child be a child
"Sir Ash, they will be conducting a meeting at the adventure guild soon, so please be there before noon" [Knight B]
"Got it" [Ash]
I need a breather but whatever, let just go straight to the guild. I should take the carriage provided to me

"You're late" [Khamishah]
"Sorry, these two are hungry" [Ash]
""Not hungry?"" [Lara, Nara]
"ANYMORE! Yeah, they are not hungry anymore" [Ash]
"Well, we do have some foods here with us. Please have a seat" [Queen Rinz]
"Huh? What are doing here, your highness?" [Ash]
"Confirming something" [Queen Rinz]
"Then I guess all of you are also here to confirm something from me" [Ash]
~Nod~
"Just what is there left to be confirmed? I thought the meeting back then have covered almost all of it" [Ash]
"..." [Others]
"What's wrong with all of you!" [Ash]
Just what is happening? Why are they so serious? They're looking at each other uncomfortably, plus they're worrying about something, no, about someone
(I don't like this feeling... Not even a tiny bit of it) [Ash]
"Ash, listen here, the orphanage..." [Crow]

"ASH STOP!" [Naoto]
"Quickly, follow him!" [Saint Louis]
"That face he makes, just like what I had predicted!" [Crow]
"Your highness!" [Khamishah]
"Go after him!" [Queen Rinz]
"I shall go as well!" [Alaric]
"Don't be so harsh, he is carrying those twin with him" [Aries]
"Still... can you blame him for making that face. I don't want him to go on a rampage but I do understand his feeling" [Lisa]
