Hereâs the chapter, enjoy.
When we entered the town, we were the center of attention.
That would be the case, since there were many familiars around us. A kid like me was there and they were wearing a red scarf, so it seems that they knew that they were the orphanageâs familiars, but several people who seemed to be adventurers were staring at us.
It wouldnât be good if something happened, so letâs hurry up and go through the back alley to get to the orphanage.
Speaking of, I remembered something.
ăI forgot to mention this, but it seems that the number of bad adventurers have increased recently, so please be careful. Sakuya-chan too, make sure to not go anywhere by yourself.ă
ăFumu, there are adventurers like that?ă
ăThe gatekeepers told me that. It seems that they had picked fights with the townspeople many times as well.ă
ăIs that so. Sakuya, take care to not be by yourself, ok?ă
ăBaa-san is, maaâŠyou will be fine.ă
ăMy, my, Ojii-san, what do you mean by that?ă
ăThe literal meaning. Those who would pick a fight with Baa-san donât exist, and even if there were, youâre the stronger one!!ă
ăMy, my, you said it, didnât you?ă
ăOk, ok, donât fight, you two! Sakuya-chan will be scared.ă
ăMy, my, Iâm sorry.ă
ăSeriously, like husband, like wife. Look, weâre almost there!!ă
Saying that, the orphanage could be seen in front of us.
When we arrived at the orphanage, the children who noticed us gathered around.
The children were very curious about the familiars that have increased, as well as Sakuya-chanâs group whom theyâre meeting for the first time.
Perhaps she heard the disturbance that weâve caused, as I could see Director-sensei coming out of the house.
I had everyone wait until Director-sensei arrived, and greeted her.
ăDirector-sensei, these people are the hunter ojii-sanâŠ.ă
Come to think of it, I did not know Ojii-san and Obaa-sanâs namesâŠ. âŠmaa, it should be fine.
ăâŠObaa-san, and Sakuya-chan. And, this is the orphanageâs Director-sensei.ă
I made the introductions.
ăNice to meet you. I am the director of this orphanage. Thank you for always taking care of Shuu, and giving us so much meat.ă
Saying this, Director-sensei bowed her head. The surrounding children all gave their thanks and bowed.
ăFumu, itâs not a big deal. He also keeps Sakuya company and lends us his familiars. Besides, the meat too was because we had excess of it.ă
ăThanks to the boy, things have gotten lively recently.ă
ăIâm happy to hear that. You should be tired after coming from so far away. Itâs not tidy, but please take a rest inside. Have you eaten lunch? If you havenât, though simple, I will prepare it for you.ă
ăThen, weâll take you up on your offer!! What will you do, boy?ă
ăAfter I unharness Queen and the others from the cart, I will go eat too!!ă
ăThen, Shuu, we will go in first. Iâll ask Char to prepare lunch. Well then, I will give you a tour.ă
And so, Director-sensei brought Ojii-san and the others into the orphanage.
I released Queen and the others from the cart, and asked the children to look after them.
After tidying up, I followed after Director-sensei and entered the orphanage.
And, everyone, including me, had a simple lunch.
Beside me was, for some reason, my younger sister who had followed me after I arrived at the orphanage, did not mind talking to Sakuya-chan who was sitting on the opposite side.
