123 CHAPTER VI INTERACTION WITH CHILDREN (1/2)

It's been a week since the orphanage started.

Since then, I've been trying to persuade some of the other children in the slums to join us.

Also, a number of children came voluntarily when they heard about the construction of a luxurious orphanage.

So about seventy children are living in the orphanage now.

And now we were at the orphanage.

I say ”we” because Shelly, Leena and Belle came with us: .......

When I transitioned to the orphanage, Anne and her children were gathered in the garden.

'Hey. How are you guys doing?

Oh, Leo!　I've been fine. Who are those people in the back?

Since then, we've gotten along so well that people have started calling me ”Leo's Brother.

It was a real struggle at first, though, because they were so scared of us.

We hung out together every day for a week, and we managed to get along.

Were you his girlfriend?

I was just happy to see how well I was getting along with everyone, and the kids were cackling at Sherry and the others.

Kids love that kind of stuff.

Well, I was just a kid, so I remember doing the same thing to my brothers.

Yeah?　Well, I guess that's about it.

You're my fiancé, you can't go wrong.

'Oh my God . Leo, you're taking such a beautiful woman, and you have three of them as your own?　You're good.

Hey, hey, don't call me ”my girl”.

Okay.

Oh, aren't you jealous?

I got a little carried away and started joking around.

Then Bill's sister, Kathy, came up to me with a straight face.

”Cassie, what's wrong?

Leo, you have to love each one of them equally, right?

Oh, oh, .......

I couldn't say anything back as the heaviest words I could imagine came from cute Kathy.

'Hey, hey . Which one is the Princess?

This time, a boy came up to me and whispered something like that in my ear.

'Hmm?　Who told you about the Princess?

Dr. Anne told me about it. Hey, Leo, aren't you a great guy?

Oh, Anne.

Anne actively works with children, teaching them magic and studying.

That's one of the reasons why the children trust her so much.

”No, that's not true. She's a human being just like you.

Really. So, which one is the princess?

Guess which one?

Yeah, ...... the rightmost one.

On the far right is Leena.

Yeah, Leena looks so much more mature than I do.

Nice try. In the middle.

Yes, ...... I knew you'd be beautiful. Are you going to get married in the future?

Uh, yeah, I guess so.

Can't be sure yet, but I'm gonna do it.

So you're gonna make Leo the emperor?

Huh?　Anne, you taught her that much!

No. Her brother is the emperor.

Yeah. By the way, you're all pretty.

Well. So, what were you doing now?

'I've been studying magic with Miss Anne,'

That makes sense. Then Sherry and Leena can help, too.

They both said they wanted to get to know the kids, so that's good.

Yeah, I see. Can I help you, Anne, with anything?

'No, not particularly: ....... Oh, I'd like a magic tool that can appraise the attributes.

”Appraise the attributes?　Then I'll be the one to ...... No, it's nothing.

He was about to say I'd give him an appraisal, and I held my mouth down, and I panicked.

Watch out. I guess you didn't tell anyone that you could use the appraisal.

Well, even if there's no appraisal, all you have to do is make a magic item.

”Uh, ...... I'll get you the materials, and I'll be right back. Right. Shelly, you can show the kids your magic until I get back.

I'll be right back, but the kids will be less bored that way.

It'll get them more interested in the magic.

All right, all right. All right.

And then Shelly let out a bunch of magic around her.

Yeah, it looks like she's gonna do that thing she always does.

Okay, well, I'll be right back.

I made sure Shelly started moving her magic around and transitioned toward the castle.

Then I came back with my backpack as soon as I could.

'He's back!　Huh?

When I came back, they all had their backs to me.

I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Sherry standing there.

”Lisa!　Let me see more of that earlier!

I want to see it again!

Again!

Please!

It seems that Shelly's magic has caught on.

Oh, well. We'll only have to do this one more time, so you'll have to watch it closely.

Shelly was praised by the children and happily listened to their requests.

As usual, Shelly created a lot of magic around her and began to move it erratically.

Her movements were beautiful as she moved through everyone and flew high into the sky.

At last, the magic was launched into the sky.

”Wow.

The kids kept cheering as they watched Shelly work her magic.

And when it was over, a little girl asked Sherry a question.

”You're awesome, big sister!　If we work hard, can we be like your sisters?

You'll be fine. But you'll have to practice a lot. I've worked harder than people can imagine.

I suppose. At least you have a higher level of magic manipulation than I do.

I know, right: ...... Alright. I'm going to do my best to be just like you!

The girl who asked Sherry a question smiled and smiled and said, after pretending to think, ”I'm with you!

'Me too!'

Me too!

Me too!

Other kids came forward to follow the girl!

You're very popular.

Oh, Leo.

'It's Leo!　Did you go home to get that bag?

That's right. It's a magic bag. It holds a lot of stuff just like this, you know?

Saying that, he pulled out a stuffed animal from his bag and handed it to a girl who was nearby .

Well, I didn't really take it out, I just created it on the spot.

''Wow~ . . wow!　Leo's magic?

I'm trying to tell you that it's not, but it's magic that made the stuffed animals: .......
