Chapter 668 - Miriam And The Orphanage
-----
The Little Miriam walked upstairs hurriedly, without letting herself get caught by the two nuns, who ended giving up on the girl due to her dangerous dragon. They wanted to "see" the dragon, but the girl wouldn't let them, and the dragon was clearly aggressive towards those with bad intentions, which these nuns had very much so.
Even when the two nuns had their own monster pets, they were still below young adult-class, and were just below average, although they can be used to intimidate people without monster pets, anyone with a competent one would always have an advantage, even if the two ganged on her they already could see the dragon tearing apart their crow and frog…
"That damn brat! I am going to kill that girl!" roared Felicia.
"Wait! Felicia, we can't fight her if that dragon is with her…" said Cecilia.
"T-Then… what do we do?" asked Felicia.
"Hmm… She got that shiny creature there… Maybe we can call some old friends." Said Cecilia.
"Oh? Ahhh… I see… Yes, perhaps we can bring some old friends…" said Felicia.
"That'll teach her a good lesson, and also we can cash out of it if we sell that thing!" said Cecilia.
"Yeah, and if that owner gets angry, he'll direct his anger to her, not us, he doesn't even know us anyways! Gyahahaha!" laughed the witch-like Felicia…
As the two women began to plan something macabre as they lacked any sort of morality as women raised in the slums that only used the children of the orphanage as workers to get them donation money, Miriam made her way to her room and entered it.
Quickly after, a dozen of kids greeted her with happy smiles as the candles were light on rather quickly. The kids ran towards her rapidly.
"Miriam!"
"Big sis, you're back!"
"How was work today?"
"Did you see anything interesting? Tell us! Tell us!"
"Did you bring food? I am starving!"
"I am hungry too…"
"Big sis, is that… WOAH!"
Miriam suddenly showed them the little dragon in her shoulders, which she was covering with a coat because Ryujin was a bit timid sometimes.
"Groar…"
"This is my little dragon! Sir Frank let me have it temporarily! He said that it was so he could protect me from bad people! His name is Ryujin, and he's cute and strong!" said Miriam.
"A-Amazing! A dragon-type monster…"
"I've never ever seen one like that!"
"It's shiny, with blue scales that look like some piece of armor, wow!"
The children were amazed by Miriam's new monster pet, and Ryujin got to see more children this time around, actually since the moment he was left with Miriam by Frank that he had begun to know more about the world and everything around it.
Now, he was meeting new children. He was a bit timid because he had been mostly living with the same people for a long while, but with Miriam at his side, he somehow felt soothed and calm and accepted the kids petting him.
"I brought some food as well, Sir Frank is always very nice with giving me food for everyone, but you guys shouldn't get cocky, always ask please when you want food from me… Now immediately after I get here you all ask for it, be more polite!" said Miriam, reprimanding her little siblings.
"S-Sorry…"
"Its just that bone soup doesn't fill my belly…"
"We were hungry…"
"Now that big sis gives us tasty food every night, our bellies ask for more food than before…"
"Hm…"
Miriam sighed as she looked at her little siblings, she petted and kissed the forehead of various of them as she smiled gently and quickly sat down over her bed, taking out a small and inconspicuous bag of leather that nobody would ever think was actually a special spatial bag with an immense internal space to store things.
Inside, she took out a lot of food, large pieces of cheese, ham, freshly baked bread from this morning, fruits, pickled vegetables, baked potatoes, wieners, and also a large bottle with warm tea, which was still warm from the morning! Alongside a lot of cups and plates made of wood to share with everyone.
"Let's eat something nice together!" she said.
"Yaaay!"
"So much food!"
"Big sis Miriam I love you!"
"You're the best…"
"Every day I wake up I look forward to the night to eat again tasty food!"
Miriam smiled back at her little siblings since she has memory of existing that she has always been trying to buy and sneak food inside. Sometimes it worked, other times the nuns stole it from her and because they were adults and strong against her, she was left hopeless, like that time they stole her cheese and bread she had bought.
But now it was different, thanks to Frank's bag, she could hide all the things she wanted, and they never thought a small piece of cloth attached to her belly would have anything. They had even found it before and inspected it, but they never found anything inside because the bag only opened its internal dimension to its owner or anyone the owner allowed, a special feature that Frank added to it.
And now with Ryujin, the nuns won't try to take away anything from her anyways, no more!
And something else she didn't knew… since she always made a lot of loud noise when she brought food, it was very weird the nuns never interrupted the kid's feast every day.
Well, that was because a certain little shadow dragon clone was going around her shadows, sealing the entire room so the noise wouldn't come out…
"Groar…" Ryujin was the only that noticed the Shadow Clone of Onyx swimming in the shadow beneath the beds happily, the other kids were too busy eating and chatting, while Miriam told them about what she went through today, especially the battle where she debuted as a trainer using the help of Ryujin… the kids had a goodnight sleep after that, everyone enjoyed sleeping way more now that they could sleep with their bellies filled.
