Master Of None

Chapter 920 - 920. Family Vote

No member of the party was aware of the general chaos that was going on while everyone prepared for the kings' travel to Genesis city. The fact that Clara was establishing herself as a strict take no drama fluid leader was also a complete unknown to them. Especially since Walker had already accepted the quest to guard the king on the way to the city. The only difference was that the party was not forced in to any training. This was simply because Clara knew they would be preparing in their own unique ways which would outshine the guards' training. 

"So, what do you all think about moving the mansion?" Walker had presented the idea to everyone officially with Su's help. They had finished dinner and went right in to the conversation. 

"In all honestly I will be on Genesis more than anywhere else because of the guild. So will the old man here. We will have someone run the branch guild here after the remodel so we won't need to travel back and forth often. It will only make use more at home." The old master alchemist didn't need to say a word to show that he agreed with Remey. 

"As long as the garden is safe I won't argue with it. The friends we have are spread out and might travel themselves after those fires. Plus this hunting fanatic will be happy anywhere he can go to hunt new game." Gil's mother shook her head at Gil's father who just shrugged. He was more than happy to go somewhere new and explore the hunting grounds. 

"I want the guard position there. They have better pay and will have more opportunities. I know I don't have to work but I might actually be able to work my way up from just a wall guard or a gate captain in the future. I can finally show what an elite guard can really do." Walker's father had already browsed and asked around about the positions available. He had more than enough of a resume to get them and he knew it. 

"You don't need to tell me twice. I could have my own separate kitchen there. Home is nice, but a chance to build exactly what I want to a kitchen? A bakers' dream. So we will move." Walker's mother was also happy enough. All she needed was the temptation of a new kitchen. 

The wandering blacksmith gave a thumbs up instead of speaking making everyone laugh a little but nod. When eyes fell on Lisa, everyone was surprised to see her teary eyed. "I would be able to be the first seamstress to take the area with my name and clothing. I would have the best chance to be the best!" The tears weren't from sadness by pure excitement overtaking her sense.

"I think your mother and I will be more than happy to go. Su, we have seen you grow in to a fine young woman. With everyone's help, we have just started to branch out and explore the city ourselves. We are enjoying life together with everyone here. Why not explore another city too?" Su's father pulled her mother close and they both sealed their approval of the idea. 

"Brother, I believe it will be best to make that known to the dragons and other races. You would be a very important piece to tie everyone together. Our home should be there." Onyx saw the true value in how moving there would affect every race. Midnight even huffed in approval and nodded her head a few times. 

Lastly, Walker looked at the small group of staff that had become part of the mansion. They were the demon girl rescued in the demi-human kingdom. A few cleaning staff were hired by the parents, and the demon woman who was trying to become a treant tamer. It was unfortunate that Elise had taken her leave because it would be nice for her to know the plan. But for now, the staff and guests were worried they would lose their home.

"If you all want to come you are welcome. I hope that you continue your training, work, and pursuit of your dreams. As far as I am concerned you are family too." There was nothing else to say. Every single one of them immediately started to reply with a yes to moving or a small hop of happiness. They had been happier here than anywhere else in their lives. It was an odd bunch but a group that fit the party perfectly. "I do have to warn you that more staff and guests will join us when we get there. I expect you all to show them around and welcome them." 

"We are hiring more people?" This was new to Gil who had been more or less silent. He was happy with the decision from everyone and had no reason to argue it. 

"Remey will have herbalists to train and most likely stay here until the guild is set up, we will need more cleaning and cooking staff, Alice and the high priest will stay here for a while until the cathedral is ready, not to mention the three testing to become the new high priest or priestess, oh and-"

"I get it, Walker, I get it. Let's make a list later. But if that's the case, we should prepare now. The next few weeks should be training skills we have, preparing provisions for guests, and any other odds and ends we need." Gil had decided to take charge of this matter and began planning with the entire family. It took a few hours but by the time they had finished speaking, they were ready to get started. The next weeks passed in a rush of preparation. But in the end, everyone had trained to improve their current understanding of skills, had the supplies they needed, and the wandering blacksmith had taken everyone's armors for an upgrade.
