The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

At breakfast the next day, I say to the Cruz.

"How many more orphans are there in Elkay?

"Hmm. I don't know"

"There shouldn't be many..."

Cruz and Luca said that with a serious face.

Yulina gets a serious look, too.

"It's usually something we protect in church. But..."

The church is hardly functioning in Elkay.

I just have one priest. Almost none of the faithful. There is naturally no financial room either.

You can't rely on the church.

I ask Tanto, who was puckering for breakfast.

"Tanto. Was there a child without a home in Elkay?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Tanto rushes to answer.

"I'm sorry I talked to you suddenly. Drink it."

"Huh."

I guess I worried about such a tantrum.

Sigishoara runs on the table and takes the cup.

"Huh?

"Thanks, Sigi"

"Ria."

Seeing it, Timishoara brings tears to mind.

"Sigishoara, be so splendid...... Arla, have you seen this?

"Oh, yeah"

Timi seems very impressed. I know how you feel.

I'm so glad Sigi is growing up to be a sweet kid, too.

Says Tanto, who swallowed what was in his mouth.

"There's about five of us."

"Really? How do they live?

"Unlike me, I'm not harassed..."

"You're not being harassed, so you're letting me in an empty house"

"It is."

Your merchant harassed him. He said the tantrum was burned when he entered the house.

But if that's not a special circumstance either, you'll be able to get into an empty house.

There are plenty of uncontrolled vacant homes in Elkay.

"What about a meal?

"Looks like the city was sneaking up on you."

Tanto also said he was getting rice and stuff from the city people before they harassed him.

Perhaps the inhabitants of Elkay are basically well looked after.

"In the meantime, let's give orphans a decent home to protect them"

"Right, that's good. I'll work with you as an Adventurer's Guild."

"We work together as a church."

It would be comforting if the Adventurer Guild and the Church could help.

Even if the funds are given out here, they are very helpful in terms of procedures such as registration of residents and citizenship.

Says Valimier, who was listening.

"If there's anything I can do to help, I want you to tell me. Whether it's a home or a meal, don't say anything. You can pick it up in Lindoval Forest if you want."

Timishoara also says.

"I can't take it to Sigishoara's palace, but I can also provide it with gold and food."

"Thank you, Valimier, and Timi. But we'll be fine for now."

It's very comforting to have the cooperation of the two of us.

After breakfast, me and Cruz, Luca, Yulina, Vivi and Tanto headed to Elkay.

Fem and Morphy, Sigi are with us.

In Tom's inn, Leo, Rae and Steph were waiting for Tom, Kee and Miriam.

Miriam nodded forcefully when she explained the situation to everyone.

"Okay. I'll ask the merchant about the orphan, too."

"Please."

"Leave it to me! If you ask the adventurer, he might know something."

Rae says so, too.

The F-rank adventurers who have been working in Elkay all along may know something.

"A child without the same parents as us. Maybe I'm not often in the same place. But I guess I'm around a lot."

"Tell me more"

The place Tom taught me was a less secure neighborhood in Elkay.

Specifically, it's Damian's Asiatic neighborhood.

Damien, speaking of which, I haven't seen you lately.

"Well, I don't even hear rumors."

Luca agrees with me.

Damien and I are executives of the criminal organization Negri family.

He was trying to take over the inn by putting a debt on Tom.

In addition, he was trying to acquire the Spirit Stone as the forehand of a self-proclaimed Demon King.

He is quite a villain.

"If you don't hear rumors, you're supposed to be in love."

"It's a good thing."

Yulina and Vivi nod yeah yeah.

While we're talking about that.

"Ria."

"Sigi, wow"

"Sigi, Sigi, it might be cool to ride this"

"Holy shit!

Sigi, Kei and Tanto were playing with the building blocks. Sigi is working hard to build a tower.

I hear Cruz gave this building block to you before this.

It feels like Tanto and Kei are playing the youngest Shigi.

Luca, Rae and Leo then headed to the Adventurer Guild.

Rae and Leo are the main adventurers of Elkay. I guess I have a lot of work to do.

Luca must be busy with a lot of things too. Procedures for support to orphan protection would also be needed.

Julina also headed to church. The protection of orphans is within the scope of the basic activities of the Church.

And Miriam and Steph went to find a property to set up a store.

"You should set up a good store!

Stef is an escort who protects Miriam.

Just in case I take a lot of money to buy a store. If Steph is with you, don't worry.

"Mr. Al, about all the orphans, please. Because it's okay for you to stay in the new store!

"That helps"

After Miriam and Steph left, we set out for an insecure area.
