Chapter 3: Colos Linxi

"A warrior of the Empire?" Karuna thought to herself, although the history of the Empire's invasion of Liber many years ago still made her a little suspicious, but there was no doubt that the two in front of her could not be counted like that, and the crime of aggression committed by their father could not be counted on their heads, so she just continued: "Honestly, it helped a lot. If something happens to these kids...... I really don't know what will happen to the dean. ”

"It's a little weird." Hyliga wondered, "The beach here is said to be safe, and there will be no monsters, but how can it ......?"

"That's what I'm here for." Karuna said helplessly, "The association received a commission from the guide workshop, saying that there is a guide light on the Meiwei Sea Road that is damaged and needs to be replaced in time, and I was originally here to do this......" Shaking the guide light parts hanging on her other hand, Karuna continued: "I didn't expect to meet Dean Teresa who came out in a hurry on the way, she said that the children did not come back within the scheduled time, I promised to help her find it, but I didn't expect ......"

I don't need to go into more detail about the rest of the story. Since the children were all right, Karuna didn't say much after being properly comforted, and she skillfully replaced the old lamp, which had broken down, and hurried away because she had other commissions to do. The kind woman on the side, Dean Teresa, immediately came over, sincerely expressed her gratitude to Faye and Haliga, and invited them to the Marcia Orphanage for dinner, which was regarded as some insignificant gratitude. Coupled with the fact that a large group of children who had just been frightened and the powerless dean were walking together, it was not impossible to encounter other dangers on the way, so the two had to agree and go to the orphanage together.

Dean Teresa didn't lie, and after taking care of the children, she went to the warehouse and took out all the ingredients and tried to prepare a hearty dinner with her heart. Seeing this, Heliga and Faye also tried to help - Fei Fei only made the simplest battle rations, while Haliga didn't even know how to make battle rations, and in the end the two just helped with some chores such as washing vegetables and preparing ingredients, and Dean Teresa did the rest.

However, in the process of preparing the food together, the two who had been chatting with the dean also got a lot of information about the orphanage-

Together with her husband Joseph, Dean Teresa opened the orphanage in this beautiful seaside forest. Both of them are very kind people, although this basically has nothing to do with a comfortable life, but the two are happy, and the simple villagers around them also praise the husband and wife.

Unfortunately, Joseph died in an accident, and the orphanage was left with only Dean Teresa to support her. Although the well-meaning villagers would send various supplies from time to time, Dean Teresa still felt very difficult to support. However, no matter how difficult and difficult her life was, she survived. After surviving the hardest days, now everything is better.

If you have to say anything unpleasant...... That's probably the pressure from the Luan government. The government, on its part, has always wanted to plan this beautiful land as a high-end villa area in order to generate a lot of income for Mira - the mayor has "thoughtfully" prepared a place to rebuild the orphanage, but the place is dilapidated, dirty, and surrounded by a lot of people, which is very bad for the growth of children. Coupled with the fact that Dean Teresa was unwilling to give up this cozy cottage with precious memories of herself and her husband, the lobbyists sent by the city government always returned empty-handed.

The two sides have been at a stalemate, and it was fine – but in recent months, the government has suddenly stepped up its push to relocate the orphanage, and it has been much more intense than usual. Although she didn't know what was going on, Dean Teresa still resolutely refused these requests.

In addition to these trivia about the orphanage, Dean Teresa said the most about thanking the two of them - she didn't blame the children, they were scared enough, and what they needed most now was meticulous care and comfort, but Helliga was a little embarrassed - although the beach was a dangerous area, if they looked carefully, she and Fei should be able to see that there was a problem with the guide light there, so as to warn the children in advance.

In a few moments, Dean Teresa's sumptuous dinner was finished. Delicious kelp soup, delicious baby shrimp, and all kinds of delicate and beautiful side dishes and stew pot mushrooms have feasted the taste of Helriga and Filipino, who have been solving the problem of bento boxes and fast food during this time. After eating and drinking, Dean Teresa also invited the two to stay in the orphanage during their stay in Luan, and Faye and Hailigazizi agreed.

Living here, although part of it is the dean's intention to repay his kindness, but the two of them can't just eat and drink for nothing. Helping to clean the yard, weeding the vegetable garden, feeding the chickens and cows, the children at the orphanage did it all, and they were quite skilled in doing it - and the two of them took on the task of going out to buy. During the day, leave the orphanage and wander around the neighborhood to enjoy the seaside scenery, or go to the city of Luan to experience this thriving little city - by the way, he also met Karuna near the Guerrilla Association, and the other party greeted him cordially, and after learning that the two had saved the children of the orphanage, the other guerrillas and passing citizens also looked at the two with approval, and Heiliga was a little embarrassed to see - went to the market in the evening, and went back after completing the purchase according to the list- The two spent almost a week in the orphanage.

Today, of course, is an exception. Dean Teresa said that there would be a distinguished guest visiting tonight, and she would prepare delicious dishes in advance, so the two of them came to the market early in the morning to buy fresh ingredients. Faye and Haliga completed their mission early, and when they returned to the orphanage with a lot of ingredients, they realized that it was still early, so they decided to go to Manolia Village again. By the way, he also brought Crumb with him, because the latter was clamoring to come out early in the morning to play, and the shadow that was entangled by the monster a few days ago seems to have disappeared.

Once in the village, Crumb ran to find his friends. After enjoying the sea view, Helika and Faye went to the famous local inn "Shiranoki Lotus Pavilion" to buy a bento box, and were walking to the observation deck by the windmill -

"Heliga, look." Fei tugged at the corner of Hailiga's clothes, and Heiliga looked at it, and a girl with violet hair, wearing a clean and tidy uniform, walked towards the two.

"I'm ......sorry to disturb you," the purple-haired girl began, her voice polite and cultured, "Excuse me, did you see a ten-year-old child passing by?" ”

"I didn't see it, but I brought one." Before Hailiga could answer, Fei opened her mouth to complain first. Heiliga gently squeezed Fei's arm and cleared his throat: "It's only a child of about ten years old, but there are many of them in this village...... I wonder if you can provide more information? After all, he is also a person who has been trained in the traditional etiquette of the empire, and in front of the polite way of speaking of the girl in front of him, Helriga also unconsciously picked up the set of etiquette that he had not used for a long time, causing Fei, who had never seen his posture next to him, to be stunned. The girl in uniform in front of her was obviously slightly startled by the sudden change, but she quickly adjusted and continued: "The child has brown hair and always wears a gray beret on his head. ”

"Isn't that Crum?" Fei rushed to answer again this time. The girl in uniform immediately nodded: "It's him, so you know each other?" ”

"Actually, we brought him here." "He said he wanted to come to the village today to have fun with friends, so he brought him along." If he's still over there......" Helliga pointed in a direction to the north, "he should still be over there." ”

"Thank you." The girl bowed slightly as a thank-you, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked with some confusion, "Ahhh......h Could it be that you are the ones mentioned in Dean Teresa's letter, who saved the children from the hands of the Monsterβ€”"

"That's it, but it's not a big deal." Thinking that he had met an acquaintance from the orphanage again, Helliga was already familiar with how to deal with this kind of gratitude, "It's just a convenient way, it's not worth your attention." ”

"Huh...... You have been humble, and allow me to thank you for that. The girl said sincerely, "My name is Colos Lincie, and I am a child from the orphanage of Marcia. He is currently studying at Genesis Royal College. ”

"It turned out to be from an orphanage...... "Heiliga suddenly realized, he felt that the girl in front of him valued this matter more than ordinary people, since the girl was born in an orphanage, it is not difficult to understand, but because of this, he suddenly remembered one thing mentioned by the dean: "Then, the guest of honor mentioned by Dean Teresa needs to bring out a sumptuous dinner to entertain...... It should be you, right? ”

"Is that what the Dean said?" Kross lowered her head a little embarrassed, "There's no need to work so hard......

"Don't say that." Helliga reassured, "This is something Dean Teresa herself is happy to do, you don't need to take it personally. Besides, to be admitted to this well-known university in Liber, I think the dean will be proud of you. "The fame of the Royal Academy of Genesis spread even in the Empire, especially in aristocratic circles.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you for saying that. Koros smiled kindly, and could not help but smile at the thought of the kind woman who treated her like a daughter.

"Nothing." Hyliga waved his hand, "Since you are in a hurry to find Crumb, hurry up and take a look in the direction I just mentioned, and maybe you can find it." ”

"Hmm...... What about you? ”

"We want to stay here for a while." Fei said vaguely, she had already eaten the bento she had just bought, "Heliga and I will go back in the evening." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, that's it. We'll see you in the evening. ”

"Well, I'll see you in the evening."

Kloss hurried in the direction that Heliga had pointed to find Crumb. At this moment, Fei had already eliminated nearly half of the bento, and while licking the sauce on her fingers, she looked at Hailiga with some subtle eyes: "Beautiful big sister, fascinated?" ”

"Not really, okay?" Heliga admits that the girl just now does have a unique temperament, but it is certainly not as Fei said.

"Hmph~" Fei continued with this subtle look.

"......" Hailiga looked helpless. In the end, he took the initiative to admit defeat: "Okay, okay, I admit that there is a little bit of ......"

"Heliga lied to me." Fei pretended to be angry and pursed her lips, "Compensate me." ”

"How to compensate?"

"Your paella." Fei ordered chicken nuggets in sauce, and Hailiga had seafood cream rice.

"Is that the case again......" Helriga reluctantly opened the box of the bento, scooped up a spoonful of rice and sent it to Fei's mouth, "I really can't ...... you take it"

"Look at the others!" At this moment, a vigorous girl's voice came from the seat next to the windmill, a girl wearing orange double ponytails and sportswear, whispering eagerly urging the handsome black-haired boy next to him, "Hurry up, hey, me!" ”

Looking at the posture of the girl with two ponytails, Heliga suddenly had a strong sense of empathy for the black-haired boy she didn't know.

P.S: The brunette boy and the girl with two ponytails, is there anyone who wants to guess who...... Well, if you can't guess that, you probably won't be reading this book (funny

P.S2: It's raining today, and I didn't go out, so it's rare to update it normally, and I added 1.5K words, so I said that I was a conscience author (no (was beaten.)
