You decide that...
You decided to leave with the Williams family and the servants who still wanted to work with them. But first, you needed some money and supplies.
Due to how much Brittany attached to you and basically being demanded to take responsibility of her and the unborn child in her belly that you may have put in there, you decided to go with them and the servants who decided to work for them.
Considering how big their manor is, it will be days for them to pack, maybe even longer since of the servants are beginning to quit to find other jobs in the three quarters of this walled-town with a port. In the end, there are only just Martina, her parents, and one the youngest coachmen and his mother, who is now serving as the acting head of the servants in the household due to Richard is died and that she is the oldest maid with experiences within the household.
And the reason why the young coachman and his mother decided to remain with the Williams family is because from what you heard, the boy was a result of his mother got **** by some drunkard in the town during her younger days. But from the look of it, she never took it out on her son who now grown up and become the coachman of the family that took her and her son in and given them the jobs.
So you and Elijah have some days to spend before getting on the ship heading for Axeman City. You decided to go around the town and looking for some odd job to gain some money throughout the three quarters. However, you know that getting a job from the Merchants' Quarter, which is where you and the Williams family are residing along with other small number of families of wealthy merchants, would be almost impossible. So you go for the other two options instead.
The first place you go is obviously the quarter that contained the port, the inns, the saloons, forges of blacksmiths, a bathhouse, a field hospital and a few mobile clinics that are modified carriages driven by emu-like chickens known as the Workers' Quarter because it is a place where most of the working-class such as the blacksmiths, the craftsmen, the fishermen, the customs officers and the warehouses operators resided and also worked, and it is also where the headquarter of the Security Corps of Port Williams located. If you cannot get a job here, then the alternative is to find one in the Priests' Quarter, where the religious leaders represented their religions in this town resided along with the members of the society who enjoyed the lifestyles of the middle-class as lawyers, accountants, engineers and doctors, which resulted in this quarter to sometimes be referred as the Scholars' Quarter and the Quarter of the Priests and the Scholars.
And sadly, no ones are in needed of hiring-for-a-day at the moment because they are still recovering from the traumas left behind by the siege turned massacre event of that night and wanted to preserve their money to rebuild their properties instead. So you have no other choice but to go for the Priests' Quarter.
There, you ran into Miyuki Vargas, daughter of Pablo Vargas, the Chief of the Security Corps, and Suzuna Vargas nee Kiyota, one of Port Williams' doctors, near the chapel with a graveyard that is clearly associated with the Reformed Christian Church most likely due to the influence of the missionaries from the Orange Kingdom, as she's leaving it with a nun of Japanese origin who appeared to be around the same age as her and Brittany. Curious and hoping to get a job to earn some money, you approached them.
"Hey, you! You are Miyuki Vargas, right?" You asked as you are running toward her and the Japanese Christian nun.
"Hmm! Hey, I remembered you! You are that guy who came with Brittany when she returned!" Miyuki said as soon as she turned to look at you with the nun.
"Well, I'm Anton Blake and I am looking for a job at the moment. Can you helped me with that?" You asked with hope that the answer will be positive in some ways.
But when you asked such a question, Miyuki and the nun simply turned to look at each other for a moment before turning their eyes back to you.
"Well, maybe you can helped us with something. And yes, you will be paid generously." Miyuki said with a grin as she's looking at you.
"Go on!" You said, wondering what kind of job this Japanese Mexican American has in store for you.
"All you have to do is testing one of my patent medicines and see to it if it worked. And if it worked, you are going to have to give my cousin from my mother's side here a child!" Miyuki said while blushing while her cousin who is a nun appeared to be blushing even harder!
"What the-" You asked but before you finished, Miyuki's female cousin interrupted you.
"Please pardon us for such a brazen proposal. But we are doing this for the town!" Miyuki's female cousin who is a nun said as she's looking at you with the begging eyes.
"What?!" You asked, completely confused about this.
"After the massacre a few months ago, the town's population dropped significantly. And the Elders of the Church convened about what needed to be done to increase the town's population again. The Imam of the nearby mosque already decreed that it is legal for Muslim men to legally have four wives as long as the children are born as Muslims. And so, the leaders of the other religious communities decided to convened among themselves to figure out the solution for this crisis." The Japanese Christian nun said as she's keeping her eyes on you.
"I get it now. They wanted to increase the town's population but also secretly do not wanted Port Williams to become dominated by Muslims as well." - You think after the nun explained to you the current situation of Port Williams' population.
"And let me guess, the Elders concluded that since this is done in the name of saving Port Williams by increasing its population, it is religiously legal and not sinful for the nuns and monks to partake in activities to increase the population of Port Williams. Am I correct, Sister?" You said as you are looking back at Miyuki and her cousin who is a nun.
"That you are." Miyuki's female cousin said as she closed her eyes and bow her head a little.
Now that you are given an opportunity to make money and also make another baby, will you take it?
