Bell POV

"Now young child what should we do with you" Miach kindly asked the girl who was petting Regis. Who was looking pissed.

"Yeah, do you have any parents or guardians we can take you back to," I asked?

"Oh yeah follow me" she cheerfully said walking further into Daedalus street. Miach and I exchanged worried glances before following her. We walked for a few minutes before we came upon a ruined church. Miach and I exchanged another glance before she knocked on the door. The door practically flew open and we watched as an older woman with long black hair which she keeps tied behind her. She had a black shirt with white pants and a pink sweater tied around her shoulders.

"Fina thank the gods you're ok," the woman said wrapping the girl in a hug.

"I'm ok Maria this boy saved me," Fina said pointing at me. The woman let go of Fina and looked at me. She then rushed towards me and shook my hand.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for saving her if there's anything. Anything we can do to repay you at all we will" she said tears of joy and relief in her eyes.

"There's uh no need ma'am I was just doing what was right" I paused and looked behind her seeing two more kids. A human and a half-elf embracing the chienthrope. "What is this place," I asked.

"Oh this is an orphanage I run for kids who lost their parents in the dungeon"

"So all these kids. At such a young age" Miach said shocked.

"Yes it's very tragic and sad but this is all I can do for them. The best I can do is give them a roof over their heads and food in their bellies" Maria said looking at the kids still at the door and giving them a wave.

"Fuck" Regis said. I could hear what sounded like sadness in his voice. Or whatever he felt as sadness.

Seeing the church in such ruin and seeing the kids wear what looked to be hand-me-down clothes. Hell did they even have enough beds?

"Bell I know what you're thinking. Regis and I will stay here until you get back" Miach said as he and Regis approached the church. 

"It seems as though you'll be staying a while," Maria said.

"Yeah but I'll be right back I need to grab something," I said as I started walking down the street. Once I was out of sight I broke into a sprint back to the blue pharmacy. When I opened the door I saw Nazha pacing back and forth in the shop.

"Bell. Oh thank god you're alright" she said wrapping me in a hug. "Where's Miach and Regis," she asked as she let go.

"Miach is safe I left Regis with him as a guard" I walked to my bag. "I need my key" I opened it and fished around for a second until I grabbed it.

"Bell what is going on," Nazha asked.

"I'll explain later but close the shop and come with me I'll need your help. You can do check-ups right?"

"It's not my specialty like potion making but yes I can" she responded.

"Alright follow me we need to make a pit stop first"
I opened the door while Nazha put the closed sign-up and we walked to the guild.

"Bell what exactly happened"

"Silverback broke out of its cage and was going on a rampage. It was about to kill a child but I saved her and ran. It caught up and broke my shoulder. I put the child somewhere safe and killed the silverback"

"Your shoulders fixed right," she asked.

"Yeah, Miach set it back in place then used a potion he gave me from the stall. But back to the story. The girl I saved led us to where she lived and it's a run-down church in Daedalus being used as an orphanage"
