"Gotcha. I'll pass on the message. I already knew where Tio and Adnan are. Young Lady Marianne is with the two princesses right now, along with Saintess Rumia and your brothers. Just go to the theater first" [Randy].
"Thank you Randy." [Diana]
"Make sure you take some time for Saintess Rumia, she's curious about you" [Jean]
"Okay" [Diana]
"Shall we then?" [Vita]
"Sure. Thank you for coming with me Miss Vita, Kat" [Diana]
"Anything for you two" [Vita]
"Then I will go to the adventure guild first. See you around" [Kat]
Since I had already unpacked all my luggage and was resting a lot, and I had already told Randy to pass on the message that we had just arrived in Emas, the three of us went to the theater where the Opera House play is being performed. Since Miss Vita has been here a few times, she remembers the place.
On the way there, I look around, and there are humans and golems everywhere, carrying their valuables. The human population here is higher compared to other races. You can find other races like elves, dwarves, demons and even angels in Amleth, but here it's mostly humans and golems. Looking at them, I also noticed that they're staring at me instead of Miss Vita. Why is that?
"You floating around is a common sight among Amlethians, but not to them" [Vita]
"I see. No wonder they're staring at me. I tend to float when I get excited" [Diana].
"Like a fairy" [Neloufa].
There is a lot to see here. What's that building that sells jewels? Why does this dwarf get so many requests from miners and adventurers to appraise minerals? Why is the Adventurers' Guild and the Mining Ministry building next to each other? The knights here also had their carriage pulled by an automated golem. The golem seems to be tamed here. Surprisingly, these are naturally occurring golems with monster cores that have been tamed by humans. Maybe because they're being fed with high quality stones, diamonds and the like, the golems think it's better to work alongside the human? If I'm not mistaken, the half-hafling-half-golem head librarian of Amleth said something similar.
"This is the last of the props. Thank you very much" [Manager]
"The Golem couldn't respond, but I'm sure he appreciates it."
A tamer helped the manager bring the props from the coach to the theater. Of course, the tamer also used a golem here. This one was made of clay, golem shape like a chess piece, with four arms in its side and four wheel as a substitute for legs.
[DANGER]
[DANGER] [DANGER]
Again, my blessing tells me something is wrong. Again I look around and find nothing. The golem is not threatening. The tamer is a nice person doing his best for a living. Still, I'm sure my blessing can't be wrong, so I simply ask the tamer if anything strange or dangerous has happened in this land lately.
"Anything strange? Nothing. However, if you're asking me if anything strange has happened around me, there seem to be women's clothes in my house. Strange, I live alone though"
"A stalker maybe?" (That doesn't explain why my blessing activated.) [Diana]
"Believe me, if it's a stalker, your clothes will go missing. Happens a few too many times for my comfort" [Vita].
When the tamer said goodbye, the warning my blessing gave disappeared. Strange. I'm sure the tamer is a good person. Even without my blessing, I'm sure I can tell a good guy from a bad guy. At least this tamer doesn't seem threatening, so why does my blessing activate when I meet him? Also, why did my blessing warn me earlier?
"Alright, there will probably be a sermon given by Saint Rumia in the largest church of Emas today. Those who want to go should let me know. Otherwise, we should have a rehearsal at least once after we confirm that all our equipment, clothes, and props are in the best condition" [Manager].
"From Saintess Rumia? The cute red-haired saintess!? I will definitely go!"
"Her angelic voice... I still remember her speech in the Holy Land back then"
"Alright, I'm excited!"
"I thought you weren't interested in preaching?"
"True. I hate that old Cardinal's constant nagging, but Saintess Rumia is a different story".
The opera house workers are all excited when they hear that Saintess Rumia will be giving a sermon. To be honest, I am not interested. I'm sure I'll just fall asleep. So I decided to help them clean the stage, check the probe, check the clothes, and learn all the behind-the-scenes stuff. It's more fun than sitting in church listening to the sermon and counting the hours waiting to go home. The actor and actress involved in the play also stay behind. So does the manager.
As the theater clock chimes and it gets darker outside, we all call it a day. We remember Siti mentioning that they would prepare dinner for all of us, so we all went straight to the inn, and when we arrived.
"Ohh! It's you guys!" [Diana]
"Your friends have been waiting" [Siti]
"Is that so. Sorry for being late" [Neloufa]
"Finally arrived" [Sas]
"Glad to see you're okay" [Nar]
"We're here too" [Kara]
"It's a tiring day, but I'm sure it's even more tiring for you who just arrived today" [Mara].
"Miss Vita! Dazzling as always!" [Marianne]
"And her eyes sparkle like a star when she sees her favorite diva" [Tio].
"Can you blame her, it's her favorite actress" [Adnan].
" I thought I told you to make time to meet Saintess Rumia today..." [Jean]
"Opps..." [Diana]
"DIANA!" [Jean]
"I'm sorry!" [Diana]
"The glare of a paladin manage to frighten her." [Vita]
The inn comes alive tonight. The five brothers who run the inn serve us non-stop. One sings about how sweet his little sister Siti is, while another cooks for all of us. The other three have been managing the counter and serving the floor. As for Siti, after getting permission to sit with us, she starts listening to our stories. She seems excited to hear all about Amleth, and even wants to go there one day.
"Anything for our little sister!"
"Time to save all the money!"
"We'll book the most expensive hotel for Siti!"
"Okay, time to work even harder!"
"You better order as much as you want, all the money you give us will be used to make our precious little sister smile!"
"You guys..." [Siti]
"Why are they acting like incubus..." [Nar]
"At least I'm sure we're not that overprotective" [Sas]
They really love their little sister, and Siti loves them, too. What an enviable family!
