What is worth protecting......

―――

On the evening of the third day after the operation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Night is quietly coming, the moon outside the window is like a hook, the insects in the courtyard are crisp, and the table set in the open air is full of delicious food, which makes people salivate.

This is the backyard of one of the many ancient buildings in the Galaxy Monastery, and there are currently four people working on it.

"Little brother Yahui, you made a big news this time, although it is troublesome and tricky, but in terms of the result, it is still very satisfying, should you say that it is your luck or popularity?"

"That...... Where should I put steamed duck tongue and alien stir-fried pork? I always feel like there's a lot of meat over there. ”

"Don't be so restrained, little sister Glisa, this operation is also thanks to you for providing us with information and routes, and of course, I am also very grateful to Little Sister Thea, who is very good as a correspondent."

Father Bebo compliments Mother Glisa and Sister Thea with cat-eared hairstyles and asks why they are here......

After Yahui and Ariel were rescued by Otilia, they were notified by Mother Glisa and Sister Thea, and they used signal transfer and server IP changes to prevent eavesdropping, and then contacted the relevant personnel to answer the trio.

Many of these arrangements were directed by Bishop Ito, and it has to be said that the old and experienced bishop was very efficient.

"That's a bit of a bad idea, but why does Bishop Ito like to use newcomers? Sisters Glissa and Thea have just joined the Ministry of Communications, right? Even if they are familiar with these operations, they should be doing them for the first time. ”

"That's right, but that's where Bishop Ito's boldness lies, after all, the Bishop needs to train enough good people."

Father Bebo's answer was indeed very reasonable, but Yahui still thought it was a dangerous move.

Yes, the Galactic Monastery needs a group of talented people who can replace the previous generation, but if it is too radical and adventurous, it will have a bad effect.

On the side, two young nuns, Glisa and Thea, who could also hear the conversation between the two people, put down their plates and knives and forks in their hands.

"I ...... Thea and I have already come to our senses, and if we can make a difference, we will definitely work hard; Intelligence and communications and investigations, we can do all of these things and do them well. ”

"Glisa is right! And you, the guy who is being chased by interracial girls, is it inflated? When it comes to information collation and gathering, we are your masters. ”

"Don't say that...... Ah Hui also has something he is good at, especially when it comes to speaking and praying. ”

Glisa is a little shy, but Thea is completely different, belonging to the kind of energetic character who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Yahui, who was praised by Glisa, touched her head, a little embarrassed.

In fact, as a "boy favored by the gods" and "a child gifted by the gods", he knew very well when he should play the right role.

No matter how nonsense Yahui is, he knows that some troubles can't be created casually.

"Don't talk about that nonsense, whether it's Little Sister Thea or Little Sister Glisa, or Little Brother Yahui, they all have to work hard this time, come on! Let's continue to prepare dinner! ”

Whenever Father Bebo was so frivolous, the atmosphere changed greatly with his speech.

"Oh, Yahui! I ask you, where did Bishop Ito take those two men? ”

It was Thea's question, which made Glisa beside her also cast a puzzled look at Yahui.

Ahui knew that Thea was referring to Otilia and Ariel, and remembered what Bishop Ito had said when he was separated from them.

"I remember the tests, the injections and the blood extractions. Both of them have non-human blood on their bodies, and there is nothing they can do if they need special treatment. ”

"But...... Why is even Otilia ...... It's been two years. ”

Glissa said with worry written all over her face, she was worried about Otilia.

"Don't worry, Glisa, Ottilia will be fine, probably because she's coming back from another planet."

"I got it......"

"Ito, they'll have to get this done before they come back."

Yahui pointed to the table in front of him, and the four of them continued to prepare for dinner.

――――

Bishop Ito, Otilia and Ariel showed up with a hot meal, which didn't take much time after all.

Otilia, who was walking behind, saw Glisa and Thea, and ran around Bishop Ido to them, giving them a big hug.

"Long time no see! Glisa! Thea! Are you all right? ”

"Of course! Grissa's salary has doubled! ”

"No, no......"

Glisa laughed negatively, not knowing if it was true or not.

"Brother Bebo hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Well, it's been a long time."

"Stupid Yahui too! Although I have seen it for a long time. ”

"Don't call me stupid!"

The scene instantly became lively because of Otilia's appearance, and Bishop Ito, who was in the back, did not say much, but sat on the main seat.

As soon as he denied Otilia's nonsense, Yahui noticed that Ariel was a little sullen, why did this previously powerful girl look like this?

Walking up to Ariel, Yahui asked in a low voice

"Did something happen?"

"Huh? It's nothing...... It's just thinking about a question, and I've already learned about the current situation when I watched the news before, haven't I? ”

In three days, the Galactic Monastery successfully replaced the Julmgunt Chamber of Commerce with the information in the USB flash drive; The Julmgun Chamber of Commerce was forced to dissolve due to a number of scandalous connections, which led to the collapse of various alliances under the Chamber of Commerce, and also made new forces ready to move.

The most impressive news of Yahui is the escape of Marjorie Davide, president of the Yurmgaunt Chamber of Commerce! The president, who is known for his calmness, secretly left Earth under pressure and oppression from all sides.

Just as Ariel thought, the Tandel Orphanage was also liberated, and the Galactic Monastery should have funded it.

The trouble is......

"I'm afraid that the organization I belong to will be able to attack the Tander orphanage."

"Is the assassination organization still trying to capture you? In that case......"

The battle may not be over yet, and the organization that hides in the shadows will become a new threat.

"It takes a lot of preparation to get started."

Ariel said that there was a lot of trouble and she had to deal with them one by one, but the other party might not give her enough time.

"Don't make a fuss."

Tapping his chopsticks on Ahui's head, Bishop Ito looked at the two who were whispering.

"As I said before, Ariel Skorrylde, if you join the Galactic Monastery, we will provide adequate shelter for the Tandel Orphanage."

"And then let me betray my former teammates and tell you all the information? It's true that I was abandoned by them, but I also have my own dignity, if I did that...... Isn't it like them? ”

Ariel is not a messenger of justice, but she is also a person with her own beliefs.

"You have no other choice, and I'm not going to take down the assassination organization you belong to, but to cooperate with it."

Bishop Ito, who made the statement, motioned for everyone to sit down, and dinner time had just begun.

As Bishop Ito said, his proposal surprised Ariel, who was the person involved.

Originally, she thought that the two sides were inseparable, after all, the Galactic Monastery had also been attacked by the organization in the past.

Now Bishop Ito's proposal means a certain kind of 'ice release', and no one knows whether it is true or not.

"In the past, hunters would make animal skins into clothes and drape them over their bodies, for another reason besides to disguise their presence and to conceal their smell; There are also people who will sacrifice the skins and blood of hard-to-hunt animals to the nobles, do you know why? ”

As the crowd began to enjoy dinner, Bishop Ito asked the question so that everyone present did not know what it meant.

Yahui was the first to react.

"That's for the pursuit of power, just like in the old days, people thought that eating a bear's heart would give you a part of the bear's power."

"That's right, wanting to make other people's things your own. Now there are some people who continue to do this in a different way, and while the creatures that are taken away are sad, the people who take them will pass on that power. ”

Then Bishop Ito's gaze fell on Ariel.

"The group you belong to is like the hunters, trying to prove their abilities through assassination, and treating the death of their target as part of the glory that is unforgivable."

“……”

"However, we at the Galactic Monastery will give 'salvation' to those people."

Yahui finally understood the meaning of these words......

Bishop Ito wants to gain the power of the organization to which Ariel originally belonged.

To put it simply, it's buying.

"I'll think about it."

Ariel thought of a reason......

Assuming that the assassination organization she was in became a part of the Galactic Monastery, then the Tandel Orphanage would be completely stable and not to be afraid.

"Stupid Ahui! Here you eat! ”

Breaking the silence, Otilia placed a piece of meat in Yahui's bowl.

"Speed eat!"

"Don't think I didn't see you deliberately clipping the bitter gourd I hate."

"That's a lot of food that you can buy that isn't grown in a greenhouse."

Otilia then sandwiched the greasy-looking meat into Ariel's bowl.

"You eat too."

"I hate foods that are too oily."

"It's not good to be wasteful."

"And so are you."

Like Otilia, Ariel put the grease in her bowl.

Glisa, Thea, and Father Bebo, who were all around, left the two of them for fear of being implicated.

Bishop Ito, who wanted to say something, saw his favorite food at this time, and he didn't bother to entangle with the two girls, as long as it didn't affect him.

Tonight's dinner doesn't seem to end so monotonously.

――――

After dinner last night, Yahui accompanied Ariel to the Tandel Orphanage.

By the way, Ottilia also indicated that she was going to go with her this time, and it was not clear what kind of calculation she had in mind.

After leaving the Galactic Monastery, the group rode to the main entrance of the Tandel Orphanage, where Ariel suddenly stopped.

"It's noon, I wonder if they're all resting......"

"Slow? Don't you dare go in for that reason? Is it a fool or a fool? Don't imitate that guy from Yahui! ”

Feed! Ahui, who appeared in her own right, glared at Otilia, who ignored his gaze and instead took Ariel's hand and walked towards the orphanage.

Ariel tried to break free, but it was clear that Otilia was pushing hard this time.

"I won't let you break free, if you want to see it, just go and see it, don't make trouble for the stupid Yahui, and of course don't trouble me."

"You're such a nuisance."

"That's right, I basically don't let people like me, what's the problem?"

"Basically?"

"You have to take care of it."

Ignoring Ariel's question, Otilia pulled her into the main entrance quickly, and Ahui quickly followed behind.

These two people will definitely become good friends in the future......

Smiling wryly, Yahui and them came to the staircase that led to the main house of the orphanage, where the door was suddenly opened.

Sunlight poured into the room in an instant, and the pouring warmth began to spread inside.

The kind-faced nun was slightly stunned when she saw the three people who appeared at the door.

"Ariel? You're here, and everyone is waiting for you. ”

"Wait for me? Why? ”

"I just happened to get help today, so everyone bought a bunch of delicious food, thinking if you would come today, and the children asked me many times."

"That's ......"

Ariel was a little hesitant, why did she hesitate?

Yahui thought to herself, maybe she felt that she couldn't stay with these innocent children.

A defiled fellow can never become pure.

But Yahui thinks that this is not the case, everyone is fighting for survival, it is normal to seize and return, and it is human nature to gain and lose.

And Otilia, who is more active than Yahui, took direct action.

She pushed open the door like a child, moving her nose and seemed to smell a scent.

"Do you smell it? Come on, kid, there's plenty of food. ”

"Thank you!"

Thankfully, Otilia pulled Kia Hui and Ariel towards the inside of the orphanage, feeling that they had made this place home.

Walking with the nuns through the long corridors, the sun-drenched atrium, and the courtyard with flower beds, they finally stopped at the entrance to a large hall.

There was the noise of children in it, and more laughter.

"Hey, you're too free, Otilia."

"What's wrong?"

Yahui, who was about to reply, was interrupted by another person, a girl named Ariel.

"Nothing ......"

She paused

"Nothing bad."

Ariel smiled, a smile that was warmer than the sun.
