Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.33 A visit to an orphanage
Ah, is it still too direct? Damn, it's really because there are too many swearing, and you can't say good words in your mouth at all! Lesna squeezed her hair with her hands with a sad face, feeling extremely remorseful in her heart, and walked quickly in the direction of the classroom.
The classroom during the lunch break was empty, except for the few people who had just finished writing the review and were tired of lying on the table.
As soon as Lulu and Yongzi saw Lesna come in, they were instantly in high spirits, and they hurriedly rushed to Lesna: "Lesna, how are you, are you better?" β
"Oh, I'm a sturdy guy, I'll be fine with a good night's sleep." Lesna proudly pounded her chest with her fist.
"Okay, then my brother and I will go buy you lunch!" Lulu jumped out of the classroom door.
"Isn't Senior Wallace here? I thought he'd send you back. Lucas got up and came to her, and Maine sat at the desk next to her.
Hearing Lucas's words, Lesna looked very embarrassed with a distressed expression of bared teeth, and she stammered back, "No... This one... No, actually, ......"
She told them everything that was going on in the health room.
Main lowered his head slightly, looking thoughtful: "... Gem block, we didn't see that gem block when we met him and Melissa, what did it look like? β
"It looks like a crystal-like gem, if only I could bring it to you, Melissa won't tell us where it came from." Lesna recalled the gem's appearance and told him about its characteristics.
"It's okay, it piqued my curiosity, I'll investigate all the mining areas in Crichton, and the magical colorless gems should stand out and be easy to find." Maine put his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Oh, then I'm sorry for you, Myne!" Lesna patted him gratefully on the shoulder.
Lucas also looked at Lesna with his arms and said, "As for Senior Wallace, I don't think you need to worry too much, you are all right, but the expression is not very tactful, he will think clearly." β
"Maybe he thinks that we are all fighting, and not only can he not help with anything, but can only become the object of protection, he is more anxious." Mahn spoke his speculation.
"yes, especially when Lesna is fighting, he can only watch the joy h-hmmββ!" Before Lucas could finish speaking, Yongzi and Maien hurriedly covered their mouths with both hands at the same time.
This made Lesna raise her eyebrows a little confused: "Huh? What happened to him while I fought? β
"What Lucas means is that Wallace watches you fight as a friend, but he can't do anything about it, and there's very little he can do." Main ignored Lucas, who was flushed next to him, and answered Lesna's question with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Yongzi smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.
So it was, slightly... Knowing a little what he was thinking, Lesna hung her head and didn't speak.
Mai and Eiko let go of their hands, and Lucas held his hands on the desk, taking a big breath of air, and shot a disdainful look at the two of them.
"All in all, don't worry too much about Senior Wallace, with his character and mind, he will definitely figure it out, just like Lucas said." When Yongzi patted her shoulders with both hands, her eyes inadvertently glanced at her collar: "Ah, did he give you this brooch?" β
"No, I saved a little boy who was bullied by other bad guys in the morning, this is a return gift from him, I plan to go to the orphanage to see him on weekends." Lesna looked down and flicked the brooch with her fingers.
This surprised Yongzi a little: "Hey, is that child an orphan?" β
"Well, it's a fatherless and motherless child, but he has a very well-behaved personality, do you want to come with me?" Lesna asked her.
A happy expression bloomed on Yongzi's face, and she nodded vigorously: "Well, I'll go with you." β
"Can you add us if you don't mind?" Maine and Lucas glanced at each other, and the two boys turned their gaze to Lesna.
"Of course it's no problem, if you want to go with me, you can come along." She sat cross-legged with a hearty smile on her face.
On Saturday morning, Lesna and the others had breakfast and went to the gate of the orphanage, where most of the Tarot Apostle's friends were present, except for Wallace and Mellisa.
It's understandable that Mellisha didn't come, but Wallace didn't come either, and she sent him a text message to explain... Not seeing the familiar figure, Lesna hung her head in frustration, as if a small black hole had been dug out of her heart.
"Why did Senior Andoros come here with a sketchpad on his back?" Lucas asked curiously when he saw the sketchpad and black satchel that Andolos was carrying on his shoulder.
"I'd like to try sketching in an orphanage, and it's good to record the smiles of children." Andoros shrugged his shoulders and smiled kindly.
Aditya immediately approached him, hugged him tightly from the side, and an ambiguous expression appeared on her mature face: "It's so loving, it's worthy of the person I fell in love with at first sight since I was a child." β
"Let it go! Let's go! If I knew you were coming, I wouldn't have come! Andoros exploded like a cat with its tail stepped on, blushing and throwing off Aditya's arms to hide behind Lulu.
Boros, who was leaning forward and backward with laughter, was kicked in the ass by Aditya sullenly.
"It hurtsββ!" Boros clasped his hands on his ass and jumped around in pain.
Main seemed to think of something, he looked at Andoros and asked, "Speaking of which, I remember that you didn't paint the portrait of the paladin Percival, and that painting is still in the Society?" β
"Ah, yes, I remember that painting too, it's really beautiful." Lesna also gathered around.
"The painting is sold, but I'm not going to tell you who the buyer is, it's a secret, even Lulu doesn't know." Andoros crossed his hands on his hips, looking very proud.
"Is it Wallace? I remember him admiring Percival! Lesna leaned over and asked eagerly.
Andoros stretched out his index finger and swung from side to side in reply, "It's not him, it's another person who is also very fond of Percival, and that's all I can say." β
"Cut, my brother will pretend to be mysterious." Lulu stuck her tongue out at him in displeasure.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the sound of running from the orphanage slowly interrupted their conversation, and when she heard the voice, Lesna turned her head and saw that it was Los El!
"Sister Lesnaββ!" Los El greeted her with open arms and a smile.
"Oh! Al! Hello! It looks very energetic! Lesna was ecstatic and stretched out her hands, grabbed him under the armpits, picked him up and spun him in circles, and then lowered him to the ground.
Los El handed the glass bottle full of paper stars in her hand to Lesna, her eyes flashing with anticipation: "Sister Lesna, I learned to fold stars, give it to you, to my bride!" β
This made everyone laugh, and Boros jokingly poked Lesna with his finger: "Hahahaha! Why are you so funny, Lace-" Before she could finish speaking, Lesna stabbed him in the abdomen with one elbow, and the pain was so painful that he covered his abdomen with one hand and stepped aside, and Adity looked at him with a stupid look.
"Oh, thank you, Al, I took it." Lesna took the glass bottle with both hands and shook it slightly.
Seeing Los El, Eiko's face appeared with unprecedented tenderness, she walked over and reached out to gently stroke Los El's head, and asked him softly, "What's your name?" β
"Los El, you can call me El, big sister." Los El looked up and smiled innocently happy at Eiko.
"Hello, Al, my name is Eiko, and I'm a friend of Lesina." Naiko chuckled and patted him on top of his head.
"Lesna, Eiko, Lulu! You're here, and the kids are looking forward to your soon! Dean Aijia trotted towards them, and when she saw a few boys behind them, she looked at Lesna: "Lesna, are they your friends?" β
"It's my classmates, and they want to come and see it, okay?" Lesna winked at the dean.
"No, no problem at all, please come with me, the children are playing outside now." Aija smiled and led them into the orphanage.
They came to a large meadow at the back of the orphanage, where there were countless playground rides, and the children were so happy that they flocked to them and quickly mingled with them.
Boros and Adia play football with the children on the soccer field, and Andoros sits on a small elephant slide sketching, surrounded by onlookers.
Eiko sits on a giraffe chair and teaches some children to sing, while Mai and Lulu sit together and play detective games with the children.
And Lucas was entangled by many little girls and asked him to sit on the ground, and the little girls took out cute toy combs, headbands and hairpins, and spread the red braids on his chest to comb his hair.
One of the little girls gently picked up Lucas's long red hair, raised her ruddy little face and looked at him and said, "Big brother, you are so beautiful, can I be your bride when I grow up?" β
"Ahaha, well, I'm still a student, and I haven't thought about this matter..."Lucas didn't dare to move, and responded honestly bitterly.
Lesna, who was handing out candy to the children, heard this, she turned her head and began to laugh at Lucas: "Lucas, you have a class leader today." β
Without waiting for Lucas to respond, the little girl pursed her lips and hugged Lucas, and retorted loudly to Lesna: "Even if it's Lesna's sister, you can't bully him." β
"Hey, it's great to have a protector, so I won't talk to you." Lesna feigned anger and turned to walk away.
She stood on a nearby swing and watched her friends play with the children with a leisurely expression, and when she looked down on the grass not far from her, she saw Los El alone and intently origami.
Lesna took out the last bit of candy from the bag, walked up to him, crouched down, and handed him the candy in her hand: "Come, Al, this is candy." β
"Ah, thank you, Sister Lesna!" Excitedly, Los El put aside the half-folded paper crane and reached out to take the candy.
Seeing him slowly unwrap the wrapper and put the chocolate candy into his mouth, Lesna sat cross-legged beside him and asked, "How is it, are you still used to life here?" β
Losel nodded and whispered back to her, "Well, it's good here, and Aunt Dean and my friends are very nice to me." β
"yes, so why don't you go with them? Isn't a person alone? Lesna turned her head to look at the side of his face.
"No, because I'm going to fold paper cranes, fold a lot of paper cranes and give them to Sister Lesna, everyone knows my thoughts, so they won't bother me, they are really nice, they will encourage and support me, I'm very happy...!" Los El picked up a folded lilac paper crane in a small box and happily held it high into the sky.
Seeing him so happy, Lesna's expression also softened invisibly, she smiled and stroked Losel's head with her hand, and let out a burst of emotion from her mouth: "When I was your age, I was still fighting with other children, and I didn't think about these things at all, thank you, Al, for thinking so much about me." β
"Because I like Sister Lesna very much, if only I could grow up......," Los El held the paper crane in his hands, and his pure emerald eyes looked at the sky.
Hearing this, Lesna flicked his brain with her fingers: "If you want to grow up, you have to wait ten years, so stay here for now." β
This made Loth El stunned slightly, and then he rubbed his head and smirked at Lesna: "Hmm! Sister Lesna will wait for me, too! If you encounter something sad, you can come to me, my chest and shoulders can be lent to you to cry! I will always support and encourage you! After saying that, he pretended to be a little adult and patted his chest with his hand.
"Ha, the little ghost is quite good at talking." Lesna laughed and rubbed his head vigorously.
The words of Cloth El flashed Wallace's face and back in Lesna's mind, as well as the lamenting face of the Moon King who closed his eyes lightly under the starry sky in her dream.
Ask Melissa about the gem tomorrow, Lesna said to herself.
