Chapter 4: I am an real orphan
Damn my E- ranked luck. No, damn Emiya Shirou's E ranked luck. Did Angra Mainyu curse this body with misfortune? Well, Avalon was limited at the time and only could preserve Shirou's....looks. Wow, Avalon has a habit of not being there/ not working when one needs it the most. The dungeon, no my journey is going to be a lot more difficult. You hear me, Deus, I hope your account for my E- ranked luck in my survivability. Getting hit in the face like that is something that would only happen to him. Actually, no there are a lot of other protagonists that have bad luck, Kamijou Touma being the worst. I was about to exit using the door, but it suddenly swung open right at my face!
Ren: ahhhhhh! that hurt.
???: O my, are you alright child?
The first anime person I come into contact with seems to be a female in her mid-twenties, well it's not as I can even be sure, given how many animated characters can be a lot older then one looks. Best example Ash Ketchum. Anyway, she has black hair and the expression she gives off that can only be described as a modest kindness.
Ren: Ah, yes I am alright. Pleased to meet you, big sister, I am Ren Suzugamori. Do call me Ren.
???: My what a polite child, well Ren, I am Maria Martel caretaker of this orphanage. Please call me Maria.
Ren: O, this is an orphanage, please excuse me I thought this place was empty with the mess and all.
Maria: There is no problem, there was an incident that happened a short while ago, but all have been taken care of. So, Ren why did you come about here in the first place, surely your parents must be worried.
Ren: Well, while they must grieve for me, but I know they will be just fine.
Maria: Ren..... are your parents dead.
Ren: No, they just are not in this world.
Maria:...
Maria: So who is taking care of you right now.
Ren: Well, there is God watching over me and Lucia.
Maria: Which God Ren?
Ren: I believe the one in the void.
Maria: .....
Maria: And Lucia where can I find her?
Ren: She speaks to me in my head, she has a bad habit of teasing me. pout*
Maria: .....
Ren: Well, it was nice meeting you, I'm off to try and find a Familia to join.
Maria: Wait! Daedalus Street is a dangerous place for a child to wonder about and is very easy to get lost in. And why do you need to find a Familia to join, do you plan on going into the dungeon!
Ren: Maria, do not under-estimate me, just because I am a child. I have a plan. smile*
Ren: Goodbye.
Maria grabs onto me.
Maria: I understand your plan will no doubt work, but would you mind sharing it with me, I would like to help.
Ren: Sure, I plan on joining the Hephaestus Familia. I do not plan on being an adventurer right away. I'm going to be a supporter and work my way up. I'll exercise and train, then one day I'll be an adventurer.
Maria: That's a good plan, but I worry Hephaestus Familia is a very famous Familia, they do not take just anyone.
Ren: I am well aware, its no problem, I will have the Blacksmith Development Ability. And I am confident I can win Hephaestus-sama over to letting me join early. So, I wish you a good day Maria. Smile*
Maria didn't let go.
Maria: Wow, I believe you will definitely be able to convince Hephaestus-sama, but getting there will be a problem and she can be very busy. How about I will leave a message at the guild to give to Hephaestus-sama and you stay here until you get a response.
Ren: Well, that's fine, but let me write the message only then I know she will come within a month's time to pick me up(And if she doesn't I'll come to her doorstep).
Maria: Okay, let me get your letter supplies.
Maria walks away.
I kind of feel bad for taking advantage of Maria's kindness, but I also enjoyed the feeling. Well, what to you think Lucia.
Lucia: zzzz*
Lucia: Yawn*
Lucia: ara~ did you call Ren~sama, sorry I was in sleep mode.
Ren: ...
While I was wrong at which church I was at, it all worked out. So, I wrote my letter, gave it to Maria and she is off to deliver it. And hopefully, within a month's time, I'll get a response.
