Chapter 25: An Orphanage in the Fire
"Welcome to the Guerrilla Association...... Ah, isn't this Kolos. ”
"Hello, Mr. Jain. Kloss said politely.
"Did the headmaster ask you to issue a commission to destroy the demonic beasts?" Jia En smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's the school festival in a few days, and it really needs to be strengthened." ”
"Although this matter will trouble you sooner or later, I am here to guide them to Estelle. Kloss said.
"Uh...... Speaking of which, these two don't seem to be students of the academy...... Hey, Reilly is here too?"
"You didn't even realize I existed until now. Reilly shook his head and said, "Although Kloss is cute, you can't just ignore the others, right?"
"Old, teacher......" Coros blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"No need to explain. I'm also a man, and I can understand your feelings. Before Jia En could speak, Reilly grabbed the conversation: "Let's get to know the two newcomers here." ”
"When we first met, I was Estelle, a would-be guerrilla. ”
"I'm Joshua, a would-be guerrilla. ”
Estelle and Joshua forced a smile and introduced themselves.
"Oh, you're Estelle and Joshua. Garne smiled and said, "There was a message from the Perth branch that you will arrive in Lu'an soon. ”
"Yes, it turns out that Grandpa Lugeland has already greeted us. Estelle rubbed her head embarrassedly.
"My name is Jia En, and I am the person in charge of the Lu'an branch, please take care of me. ”
"Well, please take care of me!"
"Please advise. ”
Estelle and Joshua said politely.
"Hehe, I have a lot of expectations for you. Jia En smiled and said, "You two are the heroes who solved the air thief incident." ”
"Air Thief Incident...... Are you talking about the incident that took place in Perth?" said Kloss, surprised: "The latest Liber newsletter has published this news! ”
"No, we just helped a little. Astelle said embarrassedly.
"In the end, it was the Kingdom Army who arrested the air thieves. Joshua said.
"Hehe, don't be modest. Garne smiled and said, "Old man Lugeland has a lot of appreciation for you. Now let's go through the transfer procedures and sign on it quickly. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Then we'll ......"
Estelle and Joshua sign the transfer papers.
"Very well, in this way, you belong to the Luan branch. Jia En said happily: "I've been so busy lately, you guys have really helped a lot when you came over!hehe~ Don't try to escape!"
"Suddenly, there was a sense of foreboding...... Astelle smiled wryly.
"Is there a shortage of people here, is something going on?" asked Joshua.
"It's not that serious...... Jia En shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, a big man from the royal family will come to our city of Lu'an recently. ”
"Is it Her Majesty?" asked Istelle, surprised.
"You're thinking too much. Reilly said with a smile.
"However, the person who came must be a member of the royal family, and there can be nothing wrong with this. Jia En nodded and said, "It is said that he came to Lu'an to inspect. ”
"I see. Estelle thought for a moment and said, "But what does this have to do with our lack of manpower?"
"After all, it's a royal family, and it's a big deal if something happens. "Mayor Delmont is also very concerned about this matter, so he wants us to strengthen the security in the city of Luan," Jain said. ”
"I see, you were talking about it on the second floor, right?" Joshua said, "But is it necessary to do this?"
"It's not because there are some restless people on the harbor side. Jia En sighed and said.
"Restless people...... You mean the people who made the trouble just now. Estelle said.
"Why, do you know them?" asked Jain, confused.
"I just taught them a lesson. Reilly smiled and said.
"Well, you've already been to the warehouse district. "There's a bad group there, called the Ravens. ”
"The name...... Sounds like a bad guy. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I was honest a while ago, but recently I've started to make mistakes again. Jia En said helplessly: "The mayor's worries are true, but we can't ignore the work in the surrounding area." ”
"So, there's not enough people here?" said Reilly, smiling.
"yes. Jia En smiled bitterly and said, "Your arrival is really timely and rainy, and I feel very lucky." ”
"Ahaha...... We will certainly live up to your expectations. Estelle said confidently, "Well, let's start working here tomorrow." ”
"If you have something, just tell us, don't be polite. Joshua said.
"Leave the work over there to me. Reilly smiled and said, "During this time, I will go to give a few lectures and clean up the surrounding demonic beasts by the way." ”
"Yes, please!" said Garn, cheerfully.
After leaving the Society, Kloss led the group to the Brownsea Hotel to book a room. Because a previous traveler suddenly cancelled their booking, they were lucky enough to get a chance to stay in a top-of-the-line room.
"Isn't Mr. Reilly going to live with us?" said Astelle, surprised.
"After sending Kloss back to school, I lived in the staff dormitory. Reilly said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Reilly seems to be a visiting professor at the Royal College, right?" said Joshua.
"Ah, I've forgotten about it. Estelle scratched her head.
"Hehe, you don't need to remember this. Reilly smiled and said, "I also want to invite you to the lecture, but I'm worried that Estelle will fall asleep in class, so I ......."
"Who's going to fall asleep in class!, Joshua is not allowed to laugh!" said Estelle, who was tsundere.
Reilly and Kross walked back along Yang Weihaidao, talking about what they had seen and heard during the journey, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the academy.
"Kloss, you go back to the dormitory first, and I'll go meet with the headmaster. ”
"Okay. Kross nodded and said, "Goodbye, teacher." ”
That night, Gore suddenly appeared in the staff dormitory of Janis Royal College and woke up the meditative Reilly.
"What's wrong, Gore?"
"Something interesting is happening out there. ”
Seeing her playful smile, Reilly had a sense of foreboding.
When he saw the distant firelight from the sky, Reilly frowned deeply: "It's ...... there"
"Orphanage. Gore smiled and said.
"Damn, how did I forget about this!" Due to the long period of time, Reilly forgot most of the plot of "Trail of the Sky", and only remembered some important people and major events that affected the entire plane, so he didn't remember the plot of the orphanage fire when he came to Luan. Had Gore not found out, Reilly might not have known about it until tomorrow morning.
Arriving at the orphanage, Reilly slashed open the gate with a sword, and then saw Dean Teresa and the child standing behind a crossbar.
Reilly looked up and saw that the roof had been burned out. He immediately unleashed a ring of ice, extinguishing the flames around him.
"Dean, get the kids out!"
"Okay. Dean Teresa woke up from the shock and quickly escaped from the orphanage with the children.
Out of danger, the children collapsed on the ground, staring distractedly at the orphanage in flames.
