After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Nia and I came to the orphanage near the Guild.
This is a private orphanage called "Mito Orphanage".
It was an orphanage with a Goya boy at the guild reception at the entrance to the labyrinth.
He is an excellent bulletin reader who taught the quests of "Labyrinth Ginseng" and "Seashell Chochin Unkou" as the recommended quests.
And he said, There are seventeen children, and they shall be a small orphanage.
It's close to the Adventurer's Guild, and it's in the same advanced area of the West Block as the Guild.
[Advanced Area]... I thought it would be tough to build an orphanage, but it seems that the dean opened the orphanage on the land he originally owned.
The guild leader said it was an orphanage that had lasted for more than 30 years.
There's a big gate, and it's bigger than I thought.
I visited Maidaman's house before, but it feels as good as that.
I think it is less than half the site of the "Treehouse Mansion", but it is probably large enough for an orphanage where 17 people live.
The operation is said to be carried out by two women: the dean's grandmother and the staff.
Sometimes graduates seem to come to help, but the operation itself seems to be tough.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you."
As I called out, I went in.
Then some children came running.
"Ah, oniisan... Grimm!"
It was Goya who looked at me and raised his voice.
Looks like he remembered his name.
Hey, you're Goya-kun, aren't you?
Yeah, did you remember?
Goya smiled happily.
"Oh, I remember. I'm glad you recommended this quest! Today, I came to thank you for that."
"I see! I'm glad you made a lot of money?"
Oh, thank you.
"Um... welcome"
It must have been the dean who walked slowly with his voice.
She's an old lady in her 70s.
"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you all of a sudden. My name is Grimm and I am an adventurer. I went to the Guild Leader to teach him and visit."
"Well, well, is that so?" Welcome. So, what can I do for you? ”
"Yes, actually, when I entered the labyrinth last time, this Goya-kun taught me the recommended quests."
Thanks to that, I was able to make money.
And... if it's not too much inconvenience, I'm sorry to bother you. "
"I see. Thank you for your courtesy." Can you help me? "
"Grandma, it was this oniisan who gave me that drop."
"Ah, that delicious candy..." I apologize for this without thanking you. Thank you for all you've done. ”
"No, I just wanted to follow you because Goya-kun's job was so great."
All the other children gathered together while talking like that.
He took the drop box and lowered his head while showing it to me.
"What adorable children..."
Just by looking at this kind of technique, you can really understand that you are raised with love.
An adult woman also came out.
I gave a light audition. [M]
Actually, we've created an organization called Clan, and we're gathering only labyrinth cities to become members.
I've decided to tell the director a little about my clan.
"Well, is that so?" You're doing a great job, aren't you? My head goes down. We were also curious, but we couldn't do anything... "
“Because I like children, I am sad to have unhappy children.
So I want to give back my earnings as an adventurer to the children of this city.
I would like to support my clan's children as well as other children if necessary.
If I'm not bothered, would you be able to help us in any way? ”
"Is that... really true?
Thank you for speaking with me.
It is embarrassing to say that the operation here is not enough.
I also make my children put up with a lot of things.
Even if it's the Guild Leader's kindness, it's the end of the labyrinth... "
"Grandma, that's not true, we're doing it because we want to!"
Looking at the dean who spoke so sorryly, Goya-kun denied it.
These girls don't seem to think they're working.
You have a strong desire to be useful in an orphanage, and you must be proud of your work.
“If it's not rude… I'd like to donate some of my current operating expenses, and I'd like to donate some food.”
"That's, that's... thank you. We will not hesitate to accept your favors. It will also be for the children's benefit."
Thank you!
"Well, well, why would Mr. Grimm thank you?" We are the ones to thank. That's interesting. Fufufu
The dean laughed gently.
I've heard a little bit about the operation here and the kids.
In this orphanage, the director teaches children to read and write, so everyone can read and write.
After having been in the orphanage for more than thirty years, I have bought more than thirty books one by one, and most of the children like reading.
The premises of the orphanage are owned by the director and do not cost rent.
It does not have a basic income, but operates with support and donations from the state.
The salary that Goya gets for his guild work is certainly not a large amount.
It seemed like it was operating at close range.
From what I've heard, it feels the same as a typical orphanage in the Kingdom of Kouryud.
After all, it's best to have a stable income for the orphanage.
In the nurseries I built in the Peripheral Territory of Pigside, I have introduced a style of creating an orchard and keeping chickens under it, but I want a system that can earn more or less money.
Although the orphanage is large for the number of children, it has a large area of fields.
Only vegetables seem to be self-sufficient.
But breeding chickens here is spatially challenging.
Of course, I think it would be possible if the number of eggs a child could raise were as good as the number of eggs they could eat.
"I'd like to think about something..."
