Chapter 324 Reaching The Demon Orphanage
-----
We moved across the city streets and quickly left out the carriage in a special area where people can leave them, although most of those with enough money to own them are either merchants or nobles. There are sometimes wandering caravans, but those are very rare and a strange occurrence in these faraway lands. I wanted to go to the orphanage and see what was in there, but I couldn't help but also want to go to the dungeon and beat some monsters to see if Ignatius can grow stronger by leveling up and everything… But prioritizing the orphanage seems like the right thing to do at the end, I suppose.
We went through a similar route that I took when I heard Mist's cries, and we reached the dark alleys as Celeste calls them, where most people of the city, the commoners, don't step on. Guards are nowhere to be seen, and people seems to be able to do whatever they want pretty much. Come to think of it, yesterday was really weird, I had developed such an ability without even realizing it… and it seemed to be connected with the Blue Demon Soul Fragment that is dormant inside of my Soul Scape. He's still doing nothing but sleeping right now, but he was most likely involved into this.
Since he showed up that I gained this power… to "sense" the people that is considered of the demon tribe. I don't know why and how, but it seems to be really a thing… I am still intrigued about it, of course, and I am really curious about how much such powers can develop or go to… I also want to practice more of my System Modification Spell and see how free is my ability to change Classes depending in what I input, as Alice said, there was probably some sort of limit.
Anyways, enough talking about that, Celeste and Mist guided us through the streets as we saw many terrible places going through, and even found the dead body of a kitten while going through the streets… My mother took pity of it and used "Ascendance" a high tier holy light and life element magic spell that let entire corpses turn into ashes through holy light, while also letting the soul that belonged to the body ascend and pass away peacefully…
"And here we are! This ish the orphanage! It is not much, but itsh pretty comfy when you get inside, Sylphy!" Said Mist with a cute smile. "Aqua, Zack, come, let's go! Ah, I don't have enough hands for all of you…" Mist was trying to hold our hands to guide us inside, but Celeste quickly stopped her.
"Stop there." Said Celeste. "Before getting them all inside, we need to tell Mary and Lucia about them, they're in charge of the orphanage as nuns." Sighed the half-demon, taking Mist away from us and opening the rustic door of the orphanage, a building made mostly out of very big stones and bricks assembled very poorly, it was a big building nonetheless, with two floors. I could easily sense through my Mana Sense Spell the various lives living inside.
"Hah… This place really looks bad." Sighed my father. "I wish we could build a better house for the kids."
"Well, it shouldn't be so hard if we use some Earth Magic, right?" Wondered my mother. "And some Nature magic to reinforce it with wood… Yeah, doesn't seem hard."
"We could add a few artificial spirits to the house so it becomes a house golem, we can give the house the task of protecting the residents." Said Shade.
"Oooh! Yeah, leave the reconstruction to me, I might look like a warrior, but my earth magic allows me to make some amazing homes and buildings!" Laughed Nepheline.
"I-I think you guys are jumping the shark a bit too fast, let's wait a bit to see what we can do or not… You're all adults, you should know that doing something that brings too much attention to us would be bad, right?" I asked, as I quickly brought everyone back to reality. They are so strong that sometimes their common sense just flies away. Well, not like I can blame them when it happens to me as well.
"R-Right, you're right…" Said Nepheline.
"Hahaha… I-I was just joking." Said my father.
"Yeah… we were not… thinking about making a house golem." Said Shade.
"I was merely talking my mind, dear. I-I wasn't going to do that out of nowhere!" Said my mother averting her gaze from me.
"Yeah right…" I sighed.
"What's wrong with doing that? it sounded awesome!" Said Aquarina.
"Yeah, why not?" Wondered Zack.
"Ugh, I just said why!" I said while crossing my arms. "I am nobody to talk about it because I also seem to lack some common sense, but please let's not stand out more than everyone already has… Yeah, it is very hypocrite coming from me, I know."
Just as I said that, the doors opened, as two nuns came out of the orphanage building accompanying Celeste and Mist. One of them was clearly someone from a tribe that is referred as demons, a woman with colorful red skin, as red as tomato. She had fiery orange, red, and slightly green eyes, and her hair seemed silver with a slight shade of green as well, but it was mostly hid beneath her nun hat thingy.
She had a large scar across her face, going from one of her eyes all the way down to her cheek, one of her eyes was completely gray as well, probably lacking sight… And she also had two horns- well, she had, because they looked like little pieces of black charcoal, they were… horrendous cut. And to make things worse, her hands had terrifying burning scars, deforming the skin. God… what did she even went through?
"H-Hello… I am Mother Mary… I-I am glad you're the ones that brought Mist back… Y-You have my eternal gratitude." She said while putting her hands closer and fidgeting her fingers nervously.
