Chapter XXXVII
After lunch, the four of them cleaned up the mess and left Manolia Village together, arriving at the fork in the road at the Meiweihai Road.
"What does it smell like?" Suddenly, Estelle sniffed, "It smells so good." As he spoke, he walked in the direction where the smell came from.
Joshua looked at the sign that had been erected in the middle of the fork in the road, which said 'North - Marcia Orphanage', and couldn't help but grab Estiel, "It seems to be private territory over there, let's not go there." β
"It's okay, just take a look." Unfortunately, Estelle deftly dodged it, and replied with a smile as she walked forward.
"Really." Joshua looked helplessly at Estiel, who was drifting away, and looked back at Ah Zhai, "I'm sorry, why don't you go back to Luan first." β
"No need." Who knew that Ah Otaku smiled and rejected Joshua's proposal, "Originally, we were going to visit there." β
"Huh?" Joshua asked, confused, "Do you know Kolos and the Mansion?" He said.
"I don't know, I know Kros." Ah Otaku said and looked at Kross, who smiled and nodded as if she had thought of some beautiful memory.
"Then let's catch up now." Joshua saw that the two of them had no opinion, and he was not polite, so he made a decision directly.
"Okay." "Hmm."
The journey to the orphanage was not long, and soon the four of them were already standing in front of a small room.
"It's vanilla." Estelle sighed as she looked at the plants planted in the field.
"Well, if it's such a large amount of planting, it can indeed be smelled from a long distance." Joshua nodded approvingly.
"These are all planted by the dean." As the person who was most familiar with this place, Kross started the introduction as a matter of course, but Ah Otaku reached out to stop Kloss's next words.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Ah Zhai smiled lightly and said to the pile of herbs in a field not far away, "After following us for so long, aren't you ready to come out, little ghost." β
"I'm not a little ghost!" As soon as Ah Zhai's words fell, a boy β with a beige hat rushed out of the haystack, pointed at Ah Zhai and said loudly.
Ah Zhai looked at the boy in front of him, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, "Sure enough, it's still a child, so unprovoked." β
"Crum?!" Kross, however, seemed to know the child in front of her, and said in surprise, "What are you doing here?" β
"Hmm~ Sister Kloss." Crumb squirmed like a child who had done something bad, and refused to answer.
"Crumb, did you sneak out to play again?!" Tekram replied to a green-haired girl who had stepped out of the room, followed by a number of children of similar age.
Crumb looked at the comer, but retorted without thinking, "I didn't, Mary!" I'm here to find out the bad guys who are destroying our homes! β
"Hmph, those vanilla fields are clearly destroyed by yourself." Mary didn't seem to believe Cram's words, and didn't pay attention to Cram's rebuttal later, but looked at the four of them, Colos, to be exact, "Sister Colos, it's been a long time. β
"yes." Kloss nodded, then asked, "What about the dean?" β
"The dean is making lunch for everyone in the house." Mary gestured to the people behind her, including herself, "And we were going to get Crumb back." β
Although Mary is still an 11 or 12-year-old girl, due to her surroundings and her own personality, she seems to have a mature mind, and the impulsive Crumb seems very naΓ―ve compared to her, and I think only Tita, who is also a little adult, can compare with her, right? β¦,
As they were talking, the door of the room was opened again, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of them, dressed in a simple suit, with long black hair tied up with rope at the end, and an empty basket in her hand, as if she wanted to go out and get something.
However, when she saw Kloss, she covered her mouth in surprise, and then smiled and said, "Kloss, you're welcome." β
In response, Kolos smiled softly, "I haven't seen each other for almost 3 months, Dean Teresa." β
"Hmm." Dean Teresa nodded slightly, and then asked, "Didn't you say that you have something very important so you can't come recently?" β
Before Kolos could answer, Ah Zhai had already taken the first step to speak, "Let me explain what happened." β
Dean Teresa looked at the house that was standing intimately next to Kolos, and smiled knowingly, "Please pause the explanation, if you don't dislike it, let's go into the house and talk." β
Seeing that Ah Zhai nodded in agreement, he looked at the two of them again, "You two please come into the house and talk." β
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." The answer, of course, was Joshua.
β¦β¦ After a short period of explanation, Dean Teresa finally understood what was going on, "In other words, Kolos, did you return to Luan because you were invited to participate in the school festival?" β
"Hmm." Kross nodded, and then explained uneasily, "Of course, there are also elements to see the dean." β
"Of course I understand." Dean Teresa can be said to have grown up watching Kloss, and naturally understands that according to Kloss's character, as long as there is nothing to do, she will definitely come over to see herself, and then, Dean Teresa looked at the two of them, "You two were attracted because you smelled the smell of vanilla?" β
"Uh, that's right." Esther nodded in reply, while Joshua bowed his head apologetically, "Please allow us to enter the fields without permission." β
"There's no need to be like this." Dean Teresa waved her hand freely, "I am the greatest joy to be able to get your praise for the herbs I planted. β
The soft expression and warm words made Esther and Joshua blush.
"So." Dean Teresa looked at Ah Zhai, who had explained for a long time before, and asked a question that was completely marginal from before, "What is the relationship between you and Klos?" β
Without thinking about it, Ah Zhai replied directly, "It's a lover~" The quick response, the firmness of the tone, and the attitude all reflect the sincerity of Ah Zhai when he said this.
"That's good." Dean Teresa couldn't help but laugh when she heard this answer, "In this way, I can give Kloss to you with confidence." Although he smiled, the tone in which he spoke was absolutely serious.
