"Here you are, madam. We will send you a letter regarding the approval, so you don't have to come in daily to check it. Just wait for our notification," Greta said as she handed the older woman in front of her a sheet of paper.
The woman read the paper she received and looked up at her, a slight confusion in her face. "Um, this paper... Should I bring it with me to get the approval letter later?"
Greta nodded with a smile. "Yes. This is a receipt, so we would be able to look for your data easier when you come in here to claim the letter. Please do not lose it, mam."
"Oh... Alright..." The woman nodded and folded the letter before putting it in her purse. "Thank you, dear."
Greta smiled. "You are welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
The woman shook her head. "No, that will be all. I'll take my leave now. Thank you."
"You're welcome, mam. Be careful on the way," Great waved at the woman and the woman left.
Greta sighed
Taking care of Greta took around twenty minutes. Derra knew how to make her look simple but pretty. She was wearing a yellow floral dress that fitted well with her slim figure. Moreover, she was only slightly below average height which even made her look cute in the dress.Derra accompanied her downstairs to meet with their guests at the living room. Laughter could be heard echoing in the hall. The sound whom belonged to Greta’s father, surprised even Greta herself. Her father had not laughed like this for a few months now. He was barely home before the competition because he had to help with the preparation, helping out the kingdom. But even that still surprised Greta, because he did not laugh that loud that often.They entered the living room, which was a 4x4 meters room filled with couches, a coffee table with a small tea party set on it, and an aquarium. There were also decorations in the room like potted plants beside the couch, another potted plant beside t
Neither of the youngsters looked surprised at the answer, because they had already suspected it. But they wanted him to enact an exchange here, so they needed to act a little bit more.They faked a surprise expression at the same time. Then Jai swallowed his saliva to make it look like he was nervous before looking at James seriously. "I have not mention what kind of help I want to ask of you. Yet you denied it already. I hope it's not rude of me to question your reason of denying me?"James sighed and held his hands together. "There's a bit of a... History... Between me and Doctor Prime. I'm afraid that is a bit of a problem for me to consider helping you.""If I'm not wrong, he was your daughter's doctor. He was the one who cured your daughter. You know his capabilities," Jai said.James nodded. "He was, and I do. However, it’s due to that certain knowledge that I don't appreciate him as much as I was before. And it has put a... Strain, to our rel
Barun counted the stacks of crates in front of him before writing down the amount on the paper he was holding. Around him were many people going back and forth, moving crates and many other things besides crates. There were like, cages of small and average sized beasts, churns containing milk and other kinds of water, sacks of grains and fruits, and a bunch of other things.The old man was in the warehouse behind the castle, already finished submitting the harvest from Letush. Listing these crates was not supposedly his job, but the young man with this job had excused to relieve himself, so he was just helping him for a while. Thankfully, the worker was doing a great work in his job, so there were actually many things that had been listed there and Barun wasn’t having any difficulty filling which.He felt a tap on his shoulder and a voice called him. “Old Barun! I’m back!” the young man who had excused himself had arrived.Barun smi
Jai’s action had shocked the people in the room, and he knew this would happen. He ever saw this in animes and movies where the person doing this was already desperate for help. It was said that this pose shows weakness and humiliation in a man, and Jai could understand why it was deemed as such after experiencing it for himself.But if this is needed to change James’s heart, he would. Miria was an important person to him right now. Not because she’s Barun’s granddaughter, but she was his friend and a sister like figure to him by now. He might not see her that often, but she was always welcoming towards him and looking forward to his stories whenever he’s around. Jai would do anything to help her.However, due to the different culture in this world, the dogeza Jai was performing was not only considered as a pleading gesture but also respect in the most highest order. The exaggeration was necessary as it was a gesture only per
Jai and Darrion stayed for half an hour more after that, enjoying the food and drinks prepared while talking about the competition and the training in the mausoleum. They did not disclose anything about the incident in the mausoleum, but it was more like about the mausoleum itself. Like who lived there, what it looks like, any notable features or figures anyone needed to know before visiting it, all that stuff. Since it was high in the mountain, there were only few visitors from the kingdom, so not many know about the mausoleum’s existence.The two left nearing five o’clock, and Jai promised Greta to pick her up in the Ministry at 8 o’clock in the morning. After the Oakshens bid them goodbye and entered their home again, Greta hugged her father.“Algreta? Is there a reason for this sudden affection?” James asked his daughter. He didn’t hug her back right away, but a smile was painted on his face.Greta smiled and tightened the
After their temporary settlement was destroyed, or, they assumed it was destroyed in the fight, they had nowhere else to relocate. Slimes don’t exactly have the intellect of a human that is more advanced than them in so many ways. Starting from… ehm, limbs, for example, and the rest can be forgotten.The mud slimes had been hiding in the forest a little bit to the east of the swamp, in fear of all the threats they had avoided few hours prior. They had nowhere else to go and they were starting to get dry. After the fight with those toads and the sudden appearance of that sparky sparky human, the mud slimes decided to go leave the area. Totally avoiding the perimeter as they didn’t want to be history. But the plains were to plain to see, and they weren’t exactly small in number, so they hid in the forest.One of the adult slimes scouted the perimeter and noticed the human and the toads had left. So they left their hiding place and went near the r
“Push it harder, Jay!” an old man with very short white hair said, gesturing a punch with his right hand.A small boy beside him grunted, his stance slackened a bit. “My name is Jai, grandpa! It’s not Jay!”“Your name is inspired by the Jay bird. It is a very special bird, making you also special. Now to live up to that name, correct your stance, and go again!” the old man corrected his stance and gestured him to punch forward.The little boy looked like he wanted to protest, but somehow, he decided not to. He swallowed the knot in his throat and punched his fist forward.“HAA!!” The old man shouted loudly and gallantly as the little boy punched forward. The sudden shout startled the boy that he jolted, indicating that he wasn’t used to his grandfather shouting beside him. But it reminded him of what the old man had told him before they started all of this.“Come, my boy. Shout your
Jai crossed the street and arrived at the Ministry. He figured that since this was an official business, she would be at her office to do some paperwork first, or at least, inform her colleagues that she’s leaving to get the report. However, looking at the building first hand made him feel that he might have forgotten something. He double checked everything starting from his wallet a.k.a pouch, his ID token, and his scarf. He didn’t bring anything else with him since he didn’t think he needed anything more. He couldn’t remember anything else he had forgotten, but since everything’s in its place, he didn’t think much of it and walked to the Ministry’s Office.When he entered the building, he was not surprised that there were quite some people already lining up. He looked at the clock and was glad that he only took one hour and a half again today. He ordered a mount from the gate to get here since he didn’t want to be sweaty. Asid
