Chapter 176 - Tour around the neighborhood part 1

_________________________________________________

[Saintess Rumia point of view]

"Invigorate" [Rumia]

"Now they can keep going!" [Nun A]

"Please do your best, thunder horse" [Priest A]

It's been few days since all of us left the new headquarters. I hope everyone there is fine, especially Saint Louis, I hope he gets the break he deserves

"O Saintess, please be careful while boarding the carriage" [Priest B]

"Thank you, and I will" [Rumia]

Right now, we are in the middle of forest dungeon, and it's around here that Saint Louis mentioned about a group of slave trader from the True Beastman Group, trying to kidnap a group of child elves. If I'm not mistaken, the leader of the group, Simba, did ask the blood of a special Elf called the Avery. Based on our investigation, they manage to get one, a mother and a child. The child mysterious escape while the mother, refuse to be used by them, launch a suicidal attack.

(Dear god, I wonder if the child is fine?) [Rumia]

(She is, and you will meet her soon enough) [Goddess Achalasia]

(Really!) [Rumia]

(But please, don't tell others about it. The child and the guardian are keeping the fact a secret) [Goddess Achalasia]

(I will not tell others about it!) [Rumia]

Still, why did the goddess used the word guardian? Could she be referring to the Guardian of Children?

(This person call Ash, I wonder what he is like?) [Rumia]

Diana sudden shout scares me, it's looks like she finally remembered something about her best friend, Linda, but

"The three of you, knows my sister?" [Liyana]

"""Well...""" [Diana, Qis, Alice]

Looks like it's a topic that they're not ready to discuss yet, so let just drag Liyana away ASAP, but first, let me park this bus golem properly

"Wait! Teacher!" [Liyana]

"Come now Liyana, we have jobs to do" [Muse]

Even Muse feels the strange tension in the air when those three were questioned by Liyana, so she quickly back me up. I really do wonder what happen between those four

"Let us see the big hall that is currently being built first" [Ash]

"Right..." [Liyana]

(Is it really alright? For us to do that to her) [Crow]

(I feel bad, but, let those three decide when to tell her) [Ceanu]

(Agree) [Ram]

Well, I'm glad I am not the only one to feel it that way. Kinda feel unfair for Liyana here. She looks sad, so Elise, Kara and Mara try their best to cheer her up

Well, better get moving, though the hall foundation is already visible from a far

"Still, when you say it is big, I don't imagine it will be this big, but nevertheless..." [Gizzere]

"I see the paperwork and the size of it, but..." [Muse]

"I'm glad I brought all the best engineer from other places here" [Ceanu]

"It's thanks to you that we got this job, Sir Ceanu" [Erinmorlin]

"It's been a while Mr Erinmorlin" [Ceanu]

It's Erinmorlin the one that will oversee all the construction of this large hall. Just how large is it? Well... let just said it's around the size of the castle ground or size of a small airport, maybe lesser, but yeah, Diana sure is ambitious about this hall of her.

"I have read the report, but can you please tell us more about the plan and progress?" [Ceanu]

"I will" [Erinmorlin]

At first, we thought of doing the debutante party in the orphanage, but for obvious reasons, we cancel it out and decided to build a hall that can serve as community center as well. Then, one thing lead to another, and we have this big ambitious hall to make, and in two months time nonetheless. I am no genius when it comes to building and architecture, so I thought it will be impossible at first but

"With the chantless magic being thought by Ash, and with our expertise, we can make in just in time! Plus, us engineer love to push the limits" [Erinmorlin]

"Let me know if you want an extra hand!" [Karon]

"Haha, sure" [Erinmorlin]

And why do we have to make it this large? Well, at the end of the day, this hall will have several functions as community center, and it comprises of

1) Main hall for big event, or maybe for evacuation when disaster strike. Well here will be the place for Diana's debutante party

2) A smaller hall inside for prayer aka mini church inside. Sculpture of the Goddess Achalasia is being handle by a sculptor

3) Multiple classrooms and a small public library. So, this hall will also serve as a school. I thought of declining this idea at first but for now, we don't know how the parents beside those in the neighborhood area will react to idea of sending their kids to school, so for now, this should. Plus, should the school become larger, then Diana says she can just built a school

4. Administrative office

"I see, so this is my soon to be office" [Ceanu]

"Well, our office is just beside each other" [Crow]

"And we will be helping them, so, my time with Rean will significantly reduce..." [Muse]

"Don't worry, we will come and visit you" [Rean]

"Ohh! Please, visit me in private <3" [Muse]

"Sigh... can I retract back my statement" [Rean]

"..." [Liyana]

Liyana here is still feeling a bit down. Sigh... Well, moving on to other functions, we have a hall for

5) Small clinics. Young healers will be station here for them to practice

6) Patrolling office for guards and soldiers alike

7) Resting area

8) Few shops

9) Some area that can be added later on

"Sorry we are late" [Diana]

"It's fine" [Ash]

"..." [Liyana]

"""...""" [Diana, Qis, Alice]

"By the way, what's the name of this hall?" [Elise]

"Yeah, big hall doesn't sound nice" [Farhah]

"Well, this hall will be call as Diana hall, and

"And?" [Singa]

"The main hall within it will be call as Linda hall" [Diana]

"!" [Liyana]

"Well, better change the project name" [Erinmorlin]

There's gloomy and curious Liyana suddenly become a bit cheerful, but her curiosity grew even larger. Well, to be honest, so does my curiosity

"It's hot..." [Savel]

"It's stuffy" [Charlotte]

""Hot..."" [Lara, Nara]

"Well, we still haven't installed the ice and fire magic stone in it, so bear with it" [Erinmorlin]

"Let me know if you have difficulty in it. I can make it in a flash" [Ash]

"Will do" [Erinmorlin]

"Mind if I take a closer look for a bit?" [Ceanu]

"Sure" [Erinmorlin]

We accompany them before going back into the bus golem and head to next area
