Chapter 5 A Warm First Reunion
"You...... How did you end up here! Crumb panicked.
"Don't underestimate us guerrillas!" Estelle gritted her teeth and stepped forward, "That little naughty guy like you, my sister can guess anything!" β
"Damn...... It's the puppy that's waiting for you to catch! Crumb shouted, taking advantage of the terrain in the orphanage, bypassing the fence of the vegetable garden and the chicken coop, and fleeing frantically.
"Stop!" Estelle yelled and immediately rushed forward.
The rest of the scene is very funny. As she pursued Crumb, Estelle hit her head on a pole and nearly tripped over a pebble on the ground. Still, Estelle is also a quasi-guerrilla, and chasing a Crumb is not a problem. Soon, Crumb was grabbed by Estelle's back and "fiercely" held in his hands.
"Damn! Let me go! I'm going to sue you for abusing me! "Crumb punched and kicked, hoping to trick him into another chance to escape, but-
"Don't talk nonsense, give me back my badge! Here, in this ......" as she said, Estelle grabbed Crumb firmly and began to search the pockets of Cram's clothes, causing him to shout "Big bad!" Rough girl! At the same time, I heard an amazing cry in the skyβ
A snow-white bird of prey rushed at great speed, pecking Estelle lightly and heavily, Estelle let go of her hand in pain, and the big bird flew through the crowd to the other end of the yard, stopping on the shoulder of a short-haired purple girl.
"Please let that kid go!" A righteous and awe-inspiring voice came, "If you are rude to him again, don't blame me for being unkind...... Ah? β
Seeing the black-haired boy with a helpless face behind the double-ponytailed girl, and the silver-haired duo who automatically entered the theater mode, Kross said curiously: "Ah, isn't this the two......
"Help me! Sister Kloss! Crumb broke free of Estelle's hand, which had unconsciously grabbed him again, and ran to Klos in a rage, "I didn't do anything, and she grabbed me!" β
After that, it's easy to deal with. Crumb, who is a thief, was easily exposed to the lie in front of Dean Teresa, who heard the movement and rushed to hear the sound, and had to hand over the "stolen goods". He glared hard at Istelleβa sort of peer-specific, competitive lookβand ran away.
"Ahh Crumb! Kloss looked at Crumb, who had run away, with some concern.
"Don't worry, let him sober himself up for a while." Dean Teresa's words contained a hint of love and helplessness, "Don't stand here, let's go to the house and have a cup of tea and talk." β

The sharp kitchen knife flips up and down with skillful movements. Pieces of meat and vegetables of various sizes are cut, soaked in sauces, or seasoned and awaiting further processing. Fish and shrimp are also shelled and placed on a cutting board for later use. The gurgling sound came from the two pots that had been set up on the stove, and the smell of fresh soup wafted from inside, spreading to every corner of the orphanage, from the kitchen to the dining room. In the kitchen, Dean Teresa was busy with a smile on her face, and the sensible children around her handed over some essential ingredients from time to time to share the hard work of cooking for the director.
At the dinner table, the five-member group of teens and girls, enjoying freshly baked apple pie, was talking about their own topics.
"I see......," Estelle said softly, as Kloss had explained to her just now, that Crumb was such an impulsive and inconsiderate child, not bad in nature, and that he had nothing to lose, so Estelle, who was a good person, waved her hand and no longer took it to heart.
"yes, I'm sorry." Kloss said embarrassedly again.
"Ah, it's all right." Joshua swallowed a mouthful of food, "He's already returned Estelle's stuff anyway." β
"That...... I was so rude just now. I didn't mean to offend you, but I was impulsive when I heard the kid's shouting......"
"Don't take it to heart. When I caught him, I was a little too impulsive. Estelle waved her hand haughtily, and the corners of Joshua's eyes twitched, "It's just that the white eagle scared me." β
"That's actually a white falcon, right?" Fei interjected, "I've seen some hunters raise this bird. β
"Ah, Xiaofei understands it very well." Kross nodded, "That kid's name is Kiku, and it's a white falcon. The white falcon is Liber's national bird and is stamped on the coat of arms of the kingdom. β
"Is that what you trained?" Heliga also asked with interest, as far as he knew, this bird of prey could not be tamed easily, and the girl in front of him should not be able to do this, it was very likely that she bought it from an excellent beast trainer...... In that case, and in connection with the good upbringing shown by the girl, considering the status of this bird in Liber, it is likely that the girl was from Liberl's extended family.
"I didn't domesticate it. Strictly speaking, it should be my ...... Friends. Kloss said with a smile.
"Then this friend is really amazing." Estelle exclaimed, "Speaking of which, Kross, you're a student at Genesis Royal Academy, aren't you?" Why did you live here? And Heliga and Fe ...... you two."
"We're just borrowing it temporarily." Helliga replied to Estelle's question, "We have been practicing for a long time, and it is not that we have slept in caves and trees where we have not been able to sleep on the way...... For us, it would be nice to have a shelter from the elements, not to mention the company of the lovely children and the delicious cuisine of Dean Teresa. The dean invited us like that, and she really couldn't refuse. β
"Yes. For the dean, the children are irreplaceable memories, and the two saved the children, and they can't stay too long. Speaking of this, Kolos was still a little afraid, "As for me, I live in the academy, but because the academy is not far from here, I often come over to play, which causes a lot of trouble for the dean......"
"Oops, oops." Dean Teresa, who had just finished all the cooking steps in the kitchen, and then just waited for the dishes to come out of the pot, came out at this time, "Where is the trouble for me, you help me with the housework every time you come, I am the one who causes you trouble." Besides, the children are always happy to see you. β
"Dean......" Kross said movingly.
"However, it can't affect your life at the academy. Everyone nearby actually took good care of us, so don't worry too much. β
"I'll take it to heart." Kross said earnestly.
"Ah, ...... college life," Estelle leaned enviously on the table, "I seem to experience it too...... Even if it's only for a few days......"
"I feel the same way." Joshua nodded, "After all, Sunday school only has classes once a week. However, the entrance exam for Wang Li College is not ordinarily difficult. β
"I'm sure I'm not going to pass, that kind of exam." Estelle is still very self-aware of her ability and IQ to sit in the classroom and learn the knowledge in the textbook, "What about Heliga and Fe? β
"My family seems to be planning for me to go to the Empire's schools in the future......," Helliga told him stories about some of the academies his father had told, "The most famous in the Empire is probably the Torz Non-commissioned Officer Academy...... The exam is also very difficult, and if you decide to go, you have to make up a lot of stuff in advance. β
"I don't think about it, I don't want to study, it's troublesome." Faye yawned lazily and leaned back in her chair.
"Huh...... There is no such thing. I don't think it's something that ordinary people can do by practicing martial arts and becoming guerrillas. And at such a young age...... I'm the one who envy you. β
"Well, we haven't seen any ...... younger than us on our travels," Heliga thought for a moment, and the wanderers he met were at least sixteen or seventeen years old, "but he didn't actually encounter any danger, but he was a little tired from walking hundreds of cels every day......
"I'm used to life on the battlefield." Heliga's "a few hundred cels a day" was enough to surprise Kloss, and the word "battlefield" spat out surprised her even more.
"Battlefield?" Joshua also expressed his confusion about the word.
"It's just a statement." Heliga hurriedly hid to cover up the past and tried to change the topic, but Faye accidentally exposed her family background again, "By the way, Joshua and Estelle are just quasi-guerrillas at the moment, right?" β
"That's right." Joshua and Estelle nodded together, "In order to be able to become guerrillas in our own right, we are also practicing in various parts of the kingdom. β
"Recently, I intend to operate in the Luan area." Joshua added.
"Well...... Dean Teresa reassured, "maybe there will be something you need to take care of in the future...... The kids also like to have fun, so if you have time, you should come and play. I'll have vanilla tea and pastries ready for you to come and taste. β
"Dean Teresa! The dishes are all good! Mary's lovely voice rang out, and she had been in charge of staring at the preparation in the pot in the kitchen just a moment ago, "It's time to cook!" β
"It's coming, it's coming." Dean Teresa immediately walked back to the kitchen, and the teenagers began to prepare for the meal, distributing dishes and chopsticks, and helping to serve food. In a short time, a large table of colors and flavors was placed on the wooden table. Crumb, who had been making trouble outside the window, also slipped back, and everyone replaced the wine with juice, shouting "Cheers", and enjoyed this rare, lively and warm and pleasant dinner.
"Crum! Don't rob my fish balls! β
"Who cares about you! Estelle's big fool! Cheapskate! β
"What did you say!"
Of course, there are such petty fights and laughter.

P.S: I just got off the plane and came back to update, I'm so strong...... I also accidentally wrote it to 3K...... 233
P.S2: It's going to be able to resume normal updates soon.,Probably.,But it seems that because of the 5K update the day before yesterday.,In fact, the update speed hasn't been slowed down much......
P.S3: You may think that this plot is a bit too detailed, but I think that the children in the orphanage will not have a chance to play in the future, and I personally like and respect people like Dean Teresa...... Well, it's just a little too everyday, so I'll speed up a little bit and go to the back~
