A Living Armour Owns A Tavern 34 Rights To Be Happy

"Hey now! Aren't you guys forgetting something?" Gretel stood up and interrupted her siblings who were enjoying the ice-cold cola.

"Thank you for the food, Papa! I like this thing called cola, but I definitely love the hot chocolate more!" Little Sage was the first to thank Gus, for teaching them how to cook once again.

"Thank you for the food! Mr. Gus!" the children shouted.

After the children finished their lunch, they decided to relax and take a break. After all, it's common knowledge back on Earth for a person not to move so much after a meal.

"Brother, are you serious you want to quit being a knight?" asked Ray to his big brother Griffin. Ever since Gus entrusted him a pair of kitchen knives, Ray noticed that his brother didn't even bother to touch his wooden sword anymore. During the town feast, Griffin opened up to his little brother Ray. He was considering learning how to cook, instead of studying to be a castle knight.

"Brother Ray, I thought of being a knight, because I want to use my strength to support Ms. Sarah and the rest of us. But, No matter how strong a Knight can be, he can never save the hungry. We cooked so much food, that people started to bring it home with them. No one will die from hunger tomorrow, brother Ray." Griffin laid down on the ground and simply gazed at the blue sky.

"But it's your dream to be a knight brother! Maybe you want to think about it more?" Ray knew that his brother is stronger than any other child he met. If his brother Griffin wanted to be a Knight, there is a high chance that his Big brother will be granted knighthood. His brother Griffin, broke his arm not because he fell from a tree picking berries. It all started when his little brother Ray, wandered too deep in the deep forest. It was unfortunate, that Ray encountered a young, stray Orc. Ray was chased by this young orc, waving its wooden club. The Orc managed to catch up with little Ray. As he was about to get clobbered by its wooden club, Griffin jumped right in to protect his defenseless brother and broke his arm from the club. The outnumbered Orc ran away since it will not risk its life to fight against two humans, even if they are children.

This remained a secret between the brothers since they do not want their Elder sister, Sarah to worry.

She is already going through a hard time, because of the problems with the orphanage.

"When we were hungry, Knights didn't come to save the Orphanage. Think about that little brother."

With a full belly, Ray decided to lay down the gra.s.s as well. Griffin's decision remained in Ray's thoughts. He wondered himself, what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.

"What is going on Cindy, you have been acting funny lately." Gretel took this chance to ask Cindy while there was no one close enough to hear them.

"I..its... nothing Sis." Cindy was trying to dodge Gretel's questions.

"You stutter every time Mr. Gus is nearby. Did you guys fight?" Gretel knew Cindy the best among her other siblings. This was the closest guess she can think of.

"I...its... really hard to explain..." Cindy still kept it from her Big Sister Gretel.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me, Cindy, at least tell me you're fine." Gretel simply sat under a tree and didn't pry any further.

Cindy sat under the same tree where Gretel was sitting.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone!" said Cindy.

"I...It's just that. I'm too scared to think of Mr. Gus as my father. I'm already starting to forget what my dad looks like, bis sister."

Cindy's father died valiantly in a civil war. He enlisted in Fahnzals regular ground troop army as a means of supporting Cindy and his mother back in Yellowleaf. Cindy's mother was devastated when she heard the pa.s.sing of her husband. Her depression eventually turned to illness which also caused death to Cindy's mother. Sarah gladly accepted Cindy with open arms in the Orphanage.

"I don't know what to say since I never met my dad. But I'm sure, Gus is a good man and a good father! Well, a good monster too!" said her Big sister Gretel.

"Thank you, sister." Cindy's shoulder felt lighter. It's as if her Elder Sister Gretel carried her burdens as well.

Cindy managed to fall asleep smiling once again.

"At least you have memories of your parents Cindy. Don't worry, you are not alone, little sister."

Gretel stroke her hair and fell asleep as well under the big tree.

"Look at em' kiddies sleeping. It makes me want to sleep as well!" said the warrior Rhoanne.

"Go ahead Rhoanne, take a break. It seems Mr. Gus wishes to discuss a few matters with me." said Nico.

"Don't mind if I do!"

Rhoanne walked excitedly to where the girls were and laid down beside them.

"Before we discuss anything further, I wish to say something, Mr. Gus."

Nico wanted to get this feeling off his chest, so he went ahead and asked the person in front of him.

"Hmm? Go ahead." said Gus.

"You came from another world."

"...."

"I had a hunch, and it seems I'm correct. The vast amount of knowledge you have is something otherworldly. Your culinary skills are unique and groundbreaking. But what really gave you away, Mr. Gus is how you treat the children. Parenting is something only humans learn by experience. You were a human before you came over here, were you not?" curiously asked Nico.

Transmigrators were simply Myths and Legends in the world of Circa, but Nico didn't expect that he would meet one while he was breathing.

"Well, no secret is hidden forever. Where do you want to start?" said Gus.

Gus eventually told Nico about his transmigration, and how he ended up in the orphanage.

Nico even asked all sorts of questions, like what it was like in the other world. He inquired about education, politics, and even different cultures.

"Where are the Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen? Are there any other races?" asked Nico.

"No. I live in a world where humans are the only rational being that exists. Since we cannot use Magic, Our world has science and technology to develop our world instead."

Gus explained a peaceful world, built from a b.l.o.o.d.y history.

"I see. Thank you for being honest with me. Back to business, Mr. Gus, You needed something of me?" asked Nico.

"How do inventors claim their right to their inventions? Do you have a patent system in this kingdom?" curiously asked Gus.

"No, We do not have what you call a patent system, but we do have Contract Magic." said Nico.
