Chapter 137 Orphanage
It is impossible for him to work, and Disper would not admit that he was working. He just found a place with food and accommodation temporarily and helped him look after the store.
Disper does not have any salary, but he can get a certain commission from the sale of props. This is the agreement between the two.
Kira hates bosses who don't pay their employees, but if the boss is himself, then...
No, he also gets paid, but it’s just a commission! Isn’t that how sales work?
After a brief explanation, Kira turned around and devoted himself to the research and development of new props. This time, he was going to make a random door that could open a passage to another world. This required space magic, but fortunately Kira had a high talent and the huge magic power of the magic elves as support, so the experiment was done quickly.
It was called an experiment, but in fact it was just forging and casting spells at the same time, and he was very familiar with this process.
Most of the time was spent on forging props, and the rest was spent reading various magic books, learning related magic from them, and improving the comprehension of magic of corresponding attributes. The last step was to look through the dictionary and look for simple texts.
The more you learn, the higher your understanding, the smoother your spells will be, and the more durable the items you create will be. Therefore, Kira's collection of books is actually very large, even more than that of the Magic Library.
On the third day when Kira was obsessed with forging, the director of the orphanage, Sister Maria, came to him again.
The moment he saw the dean, Kira finally remembered that he had promised the dean that he would teach the children, but he forgot about it when he got busy.
I had originally planned to go there after returning from Zonia, but then I encountered the Phantom incident, and then I was taken to the Council for questioning. The appearance of Disper disrupted my life, so I forgot about it.
He probably knew that the Fairy Tail Guild was destroyed and he was busy, so it took the dean so long to come over and ask.
"Tomorrow, let's go tomorrow!"
Watching the dean leaving after getting the assurance, Kira returned to the room and took out the image magic crystal that he had almost forgotten.
Wizards fight demons, wizards fight dragons, wizards fight evil believers, three large-scale battles in a row, which can make those children watch repeatedly for a long time.
Kira feels that his heroic figure will surely inspire their yearning for magic, and Fairy Tail will have successors!
With a slight modification to the magic crystal, Kira successfully made three movie-quality films in one night, ready to show them off in the orphanage the next day.
When talking about the orphanage, we have to mention Kira.
Many years ago, there was no orphanage in Magnolia, and all orphans were adopted by the church. The church manager was Father Brock, an old man about the same age as Markov.
In Magnolia, helping the poor and the weak is more of a charity, and the funds basically come from the allocation of the kingdom, so it is not much. Fortunately, the people here are very kind and there will be no bullying of orphans.
According to Aslante customs, people are considered adults at the age of 18, so these orphans must leave when they reach 18, but they can leave earlier if they are able to work.
Cana is an example. When she was six years old, she traveled a thousand miles to find her father and came to Magnolia penniless. Before she became a wizard and joined Fairy Tail, she lived in the church. This situation continued until she learned magic and was able to work and earn money.
After that, she left the orphanage and lived in the girls' dormitory of the guild, so until now, she would go back to visit often.
The residents of Magnolia are kindhearted and abandoning of children is rare. The orphans here are either whose parents have passed away and no one has adopted them, or they are wandering from other cities like Kana, and they are all supported by the old priest alone.
In addition to the regular allocation from the kingdom, there would occasionally be some wealthy people and believers who would donate, and those who grew up in the church and were financially independent would occasionally come back to visit. Although it was not stable, all these factors combined could barely allow these children to have a relatively stable childhood.
It wasn't until an unexpected accident happened a few years ago that their living conditions improved .
And the source of everything naturally comes from Kira.
In order to enjoy a better life in Magnolia, he spared no expense to develop the entertainment facilities here, which naturally included a food court, a water park, a cinema, and a couple's hotel that was used by someone unknown. Unexpectedly, it attracted a large number of tourists and indirectly boosted the economy of Magnolia.
With this renovation, Magnolia has more tourists, more employment opportunities, more economic consumption, and even a larger population. Such changes naturally provide these orphans with more ways to survive.
For the sake of the city's appearance and to maintain economic growth, the mayor kindly allocated part of the monthly economic profits to the church. Later, he felt that this was inappropriate, so he established an orphanage and separated it from the church.
At the same time, in order to respond to the mayor's call, Kira decided to write books to educate people so that everyone can go to school and buy books.
In addition to the various novels that Dispel was addicted to, there was also a small number of magic-related books that suited his identity as a wizard, and they received a very good response.
With the mayor's free publicity and a large number of readers buying his books, Kira made a lot of money by selling various books, and quietly added several small coffers. His evaluation was very satisfactory;
With Kira's celebrity effect and tourists from all over the world coming to spend money, the mayor's political achievements have repeatedly set new records, his life has become more comfortable, and he has secretly kept a lover. He is very satisfied with the mayor (later when he talked about this with Kira, his face was full of joy, and I don't know what he was talking about);
With the help of Kira and the mayor, the orphans lived in the newly established orphanage. Not only did their living conditions improve, but they were also able to go to school and learn to read. Those with good qualifications even began to learn magic. Their comments were very special and satisfactory.
With the strong support of the mayor, both local residents and foreign tourists felt that their living standards had improved and their entertainment was more abundant. With the help of Kira's books and props, they were greatly satisfied both physically and mentally, and their evaluations were very special and extremely satisfactory.
In short, because of Kira's desire for enjoyment, a win-win situation was achieved. If anyone lost, it must be the person who didn't come.
Although Father Block got along , he was old after all, and often felt powerless to do things. He also had to manage the church and was overwhelmed. Therefore, he and the mayor decided to hand over the orphanage to Sister Maria.
Sister Maria was not outstanding in appearance, but she was very kind to children. Every time Kira visited her, he could feel the orphans' admiration for her.
The next day, the weather was fine and the weather was nice.
Kira set out for the orphanage in a good mood. Every month, he would take one day off to teach the children there. In addition to teaching magic, he would also teach them his way of dealing with the world, which he was proud of - although the children seemed to prefer listening to him talk about magic.
When he complained to Kana, whom he met at the orphanage, she encouraged him: "You should spend your limited time on more meaningful things. Just teach them magic, which is your best skill. Leave the ways of dealing with people to me."
Do you think my uncle Kira is a fool? Who can't hear the sarcasm in these words?
Humph! If there weren't kids watching, Kira would have punched them directly... No , he would have directly said to these inexperienced kids, "Your sister Kana is a poor bastard who even has to buy things on credit."
What? What to buy? Of course, the kind of cards that kids your age love the most, the kind that are sparkly and glittery!
Kira felt that in this way, Cana's status in the hearts of the children would plummet, and they would only believe in themselves from then on. If they grow up, they will come to Fairy Tail, and if they are asked to buy props, they will buy props, hehehe...
