The Glorious Chronicle
Chapter 13 - Orphanage(2)
"Yahoo!"
"Oraa!"
In the vast orphanage grounds, Ethan is fighting against children who want to learn to fight.
Ethan dodges all the attacks that kids are launching from multiple directions like he can see the future or he can see from a 360° angle.
"Hey, if you're like this you'll never be able to even defeat Slime" Ethan provoked.
Good result. The children are all stirred up by the emotion of hearing Ethan's words of provocation. They attacked more vigorously.
"Curtain! Don't be arrogant!"
"Damn it! Ora!"
Overzealous, their words became uncontrollable. Clarissa who was watching from afar had a worried face.
"Mia, I'm really sorry for the attitude of the kids.it seems like they got too carried away" he said looking at Mia who was next to him.
"Don't worry. Young Master is not one to bother about such trivial matters," Mia replied without taking her eyes off Ethan.
Clarissa was a little relieved even though she was still a little worried, because Nobles were strange creatures that acted according to their moods and feelings.
And in just 5 minutes, all the children fell on the ground with their tired faces.
"Well.huh... Young Master is too strong…."
"Is Young Master really an 8-year-old?"
After doing various ways to hit Ethan, they still can't even make Ethan pull the wooden sword on his waist.
Ethan ignores them all and moves to where Mia and Clarissa are waiting.
"Thank you for the hard work, Young Master," Mia said as she handed him a towel and water.
Ethan nodded back. He then sat down on the empty chair. Ethan looks up at the kids arguing about how to beat Ethan.
"These kids, some of them are amazing talents" Ethan said.
Clarissa smiled happily at Ethan's praise of the children.
"really? If a Genius like the Young Master said so, then it would definitely be like that."
Those are not empty words. An amateur Clarissa could also tell that Ethan was strong enough to make strange moves against the boys.
Ethan nodded, he then turned his gaze to a boy with his dull blonde hair.
"Pratrick Most. Do you know what skill he has?" ask Ethan.
Clarissa thought for a moment. When entering the orphanage, the children checked the Skills they had, and Clarissa could not possibly memorize them all.
"Hm.. Patrick yes...if not wrong, the Skill is and the Attributes are Lightning and Light," he explained less sure.
A confused expression was drawn on Ethan's face hearing Patrick's Skill's name.
"? was?That's a pretty funny Skill, what kind of Skill is that?"
Clarissa shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, at Ethan's question this time.
"I don't know. But the possibility, as the name suggests, is related to a hope."
Ethan is not disappointed, from the beginning Ethan does not expect to get the answer. But, Ethan had some guesses of the effects of that Skill.
Then, Ethan again changed the subject as he pleased.
"Clarissa, does the Orphanage have a source of income?"
The income.of course the orphanage has it that is, the money that the Landlord sends. But, that alone was impossible to make the orphanage survive. There must be some other income, if you do not want this orphanage later when the number of children increases. Clarissa knows this.
"Other than Young Master, there is absolutely nothing else," Clarissa replied seriously.
Ethan then looked at Clarissa. This was the gaze of a merchant.
"If so, what if you, no, kids start a business?" ask Ethan.
Clarissa blinked her eyes a few times. Ethan's advice does make sense, but rather than invite a trading company, Ethan actually invites an orphanage to run a business.
"Are you serious, Young Master?" clarissa asked him to make sure he didn't hear wrong.
"Of course, did you grow old in a few minutes, Clarissa?" ethan answered a little prickly.
Clarissa was a little shocked when Ethan said that unfunny joke. Or maybe not. Knowing that Ethan is serious, Clarissa's mood changes to that of a real trader.
Ethan who saw that thought that the DNA of the family and indeed could not lie. As Ethan was about to speak, Clarissa gave a suggestion.
"Wait a minute, Young Master. Why don't we move on to talk about this?"
Ethan shook his head. "No need, I've been using soundproof magic from the start, you know?" he glanced at the naughty Clarissa.
Clarissa immediately looked around and sure enough, a thin film was attached circling around them. Clarissa looked at Ethan with her stupid face.
"When?" tanyanya's confused.
There were no rapals or magic circles at all that appeared. It was really very confusing for Clarissa who knew nothing about magic.
Ethan just smiled and did not reply, once again he re-directed the conversation.
"Don't get too thought out, it's not a field you're good at. Now, all you need to think about is business."
Clarissa could only laugh dryly at Ethan's words, but it was only for a moment, and she returned to her merchant mode.
"So Young Master, what do you want to do for the children's business?" ask Clarissa and emphasize the word children.
Children, still minimal in experience and orphanages from the beginning are only for children, so the business Ethan suggests should be a business that even children can do. For that reason Clarissa emphasized the word children in her sentence.
Ethan is aware of that, but he's unlikely to offer that, if this business can't be run by children.
"I want the kids to open a cafe" says Ethan.
Clarissa tilted her head confused by the new word she heard.
"The cafe?"
"Place for tea and coffee. Until now, tea has only been a drink of the rich such as merchants and Nobles. But, I plan to spread the habit of drinking tea for ordinary people, as well as introduce coffee that will be a typical product of the Mallorca region," explained Ethan.
Yes, just like a bar that sells liquor, this cafe will be a place to sell tea and coffee. In addition, Ethan will also slightly add some simple menus and match the two.
Clarissa still could not be sure, and asked again.
"Will it do? Tea is expensive, right?"
In a City where the majority is Adventure which is very picky about something, Clarissa doubts whether the cafe will sell or not. Moreover, tea is quite expensive and does not correspond to the income of the citizens.
But Ethan is convinced that it will sell. He has prepared a lot for this.
"It is not too expensive because the tea used is not of premium quality. Besides, do you think that I just told you to open the cafe?" ask Ethan ambiguously.
Clarissa could not guess at all what Ethan planned and guessed. So he just waited for Ethan to continue his explanation.
But, instead of continuing his explanation, Ethan took out two pieces of parchment from his bag.
"Here, read it, and think about it" Ethan said, handing it over.
Clarissa received it with a confused face that was clearly plastered. But, that puzzled face immediately turned into an extremely shocked expression when he started reading the parchment.
"I-this!? Is this really possible!?" ask Clarissa hysterically.
Ethan nodded. "of course. So, do you want to try this business?" ask Ethan, again.
This time, Clarissa did not hesitate anymore. He was absolutely certain that this matter would sell out loud in the market.
"of course! No, please let us run this business!" clarissa bowed to Ethan.
"Thanks to your head, if it's like that, the kids will think I'm bullying their manager, it'll be a hassle" Ethan said playfully.
Clarissa then raised her head and chuckled.
"Fufu, of course. But, Young Master-"
Clarissa wants to talk the last thing that matters most, but Ethan cuts her off.
"I knew. I'll give you a loan for the orphanage. The time period is 3 years, the nominal is this, is it enough?" tanyakanya.
Clarissa nodded happily at that. The amount Ethan gives is huge, but he believes that three years is enough time to get back that much money and even more.
"Thank you, I hope more and more people like you," Clarissa said with a very beautiful smile.
Ethan just shrugged his shoulders at Clarissa's praise and he didn't flinch in front of Clarissa's angel smile at all.
"Even if you praise me, no one will come out at all."
"Fufu, what a pity."
