[Neptune's POV]
.
Walking inside the Clinic, we first had a bit of a feast of sorts.
There was Geralt, Aisha and Vladmir. There were Equi, Everice, Iris and Harik. Even the two fate weavers, Raphi and Luciana were also there. And then there were all those childrens that had worked with me to promote the clinics as such.
Outside there were many guards, and many more normal citizens. From elderly to the children, from the ones who were in the slums, to those who were nobles, all of them were present there, having the 17th celebration after the war.
And after many Alcohols, and feasts of all sorts, we were finally relaxed. Since it was my first proper day after the war, I decided to enjoy it as well. A break once in a while is fine, eh? It's not like the world is going to end… and even if it is, I will probably intercept it one way or another.
The night passed as a new dawn appeared. And stretching a bit, I then moved outside of my room where most of the people were sleeping all around the area. Not just on the patient's bed but also on the floors, and the desks as such.
Iris slept with Everice, while Raphi and Luciana were sleeping cozily on a single bed. As for Harik, he was with Geralt and a few other children, all of them sleeping on the floor on a mat.
The only ones who weren't there were Aisha, her brother and Vladmir.
And as I walked outside the clinic, I found two of them, Aisha and her brother, cleaning the outside area with a broom in each of their hands. It was an odd site, but then again, it was fine, wasn't it?
Moving towards them as I picked up a spare broom, I, too, joined them in the cleaning.
"Ah! Sir Neptune!"
"Sir! You don't have to!"
Though I just smiled at them before changing the topic," are you guys, okay?" While both of them paused, and then sighed before Aisha bowed a little.
"Once again. Thank you for saving my brother's life. Adam told me that it was you who reverted his ghoul form back to human," she spoke with pure reverence in her eyes while her brother bowed along with her, without speaking anything.
"Don't worry too much about it. It was something I should have done anyway," I continued moving the dust away with the broom. They looked at me with their eyes filled with tears before I asked again,
"So. What are your plans now? I have heard of your situation from Adam. I believe you will be leaving soon on a journey?"
"Yes sir. We have received the news that one of our sisters is in the Capital City of the Light Kingdom. We planned to leave this evening after we bid our farewell to everyone we know in the city," Aisha's brother spoke with slight seriousness in his voice, while I pondered about it for a few seconds.
"The Capital city, huh?" I mumbled, gathering both their attention, before I suggested,
"I was planning to go there after I was done with my work here. If you want, you can join us as well?"
Their eyes widened for a bit before Aisha asked,"it would be an honour but… won't be a burden to you, sir?"
"Don't think too much about menial things like that. Travelling, in essence, is something to be enjoyed with good company," I spoke with a serene voice, trying to act as mature as possible. It wasn't difficult, but being acting as my normal self for a while, usually brings back the casualness I show as Adam.
Though looking at their bright enlightened expression, it doesn't seem there was any problem with the way I worded myself. Aisha then looked at her brother with a thoughtful expression before turning to me,
"Thank you for helping us out once again."
I nodded with a smile before I began sweeping the surrounding area, to which they continued as well. The silent morning was soothing, calming to say the least.
"Good morning, Sir Neptune!"
With a dignified expression, with cleanly combed hair and bright clean face, Everice, the Saintess of Water stood there with her hands in the back. She slowly reached towards me as she grabbed the last spare broom before beginning to clean the area as well.
"Everice. Meet Aisha, she will also be travelling with us to Capital city," I informed her as both of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Everice seemed to be gauging Aisha before a sudden smile bloomed on her face as she answered,
"You must be the dancer that helped all of us keep our powers intact. A skilled mage and such beauty. I am Everice, the Saintess of Water. Nice to meet you, Aisha."
There were slight sparks in between but I guess, with time, they would be getting closer to each other as well.
"Hmmm. That girl will be going with us too?" And a slightly annoyed voice came from the clinic, as Iris appeared out of there, while she continued," there was already Everice, and now another girl. Things just keep getting better and better, huh?"
There was sarcasm in her voice which made me chuckle a bit. Well, she had lived her entire life as a loner, running away from people of all sorts. For her, to travel in a group, won't exactly be a pleasant expression of sorts.
I had already asked Harik about his plans, and he told me that he will be returning with Raphi to the Angels. There were still things that needed to be done there, and both of them needed to explain what exactly happened. I doubt there would be any problem they would personally face, but even then, I simply asked them to take my name in case anything goes wrong.
'Hopefully. That would be enough to quell any problems occuring there,' I gave it a bit of a thought before continuing to clean the area with Everice, Iris and Aisha.
