Volume 1 Chapter 4 Part3 (2/2)
“Well…at any rate, it’ll be great if Fernaine gets adopted into a proper family And I fulfill my promise”
Fin let out a relieved sigh He swore to Iguros that he would surely protect and bring her to safety While Iguros had died, it didn’t give hie
“How faithful you are, Big Bro Fin”
Max expressed in a complicated voice It was a ave a serious and deep nod
“That’s right~ Our big bro is real~ly so damn serious that it’s a problem”
“Nellis, your wording is horrible”
“Don’t say things like ‘dahtly rebuked and scowled Of course, Nellis just twisted her ave a bitter smile and shook his head in astonishment
“Sheesh…those teh I won’t tell you to be graceful this late in the game”
“I do act diligently in public, you know! Fret not Especially since I have to give a good ie Everyone’s future is depending on it after all”
Suddenly at the end, Nellis looked gloo rong She checked to see if anyone else was around and whispered in a low voice
“Actually, you see, I’ adopted It’s just…fishy I know that the Priest and everyone else are treating the children well But, how can I put it…it looks like they’re only favoring Fernaine”
After conte for a while the correct words to use, Nellis finally finished saying Next to the frowning Fin, Max had an exaggeratedly stunned face
“What, are you also jealous of the little girl? Well, it can’t be helped; Fernaine’s a special kind of cute”
“You’re totally off! It’s not like that at all, but…I can’t really put it into words After talks of so to adopt her, they only pa partial to her It looked like she was receiving favors in food and clothes, so that’s why……”
“AARGH!!” Nellis fretted and shook her head Fin was carefully pondering Nellis’ choice of words, but after an unpleasant thought popped in his head, a murky wave of nausea washed over him
“…Almost like she’s an item on sale”
Fin whispered, but after Nellis was taken aback, she gave a deep nod Max’s eyes ide opened
“Bu, but that’s…”
“Well, if you consider that the person wanting to adopt Fernaine will spendat it realistically, then as expected, the orphanage would benefit if adopters appeared quickly and in great numbers That’s why if they could improve the children’s appearances by a little and entice foster parents, it isn’t suspicious”
“And that happened a couple of times in Nanais as well,” Fin added then shut his h he merely spoke the truth, what could he do about this bleakness?
Likewise, Nellis tightly wrapped her arms around herself, cold as if the sun had suddenly become obscured by clouds
“I hope that this is just you overthinking things Since that child was delighted and stuff, I feel bad if I said so weird and ruined the mood That’s why I’ve been silent till now”
As if infected by their unease, Max also fidgeted around
“It’s just your ieeze…er, old man many times before, but he didn’t seem like a particularly bad person He’s fond of children and looks like a kind person, so I’’ll be fine”
“Yeah, that’s right”
Fin agreed, saying that this was all the However, there was no such basis for that, and it wasn’t like their anxiety had disappeared; the three of them clearly understood this At the same time, they also realized that their current selves had no power to do anything about it
Trying to change the mood of the area, Fin stretched his limbs as far as he could
“For the ti about e if I wanna avoid injury during tomorrow’s bandit extermination”
“Big Bro…you sound like an old man”
While it was nice of her to play along, that comment was a bit too much Fin’s face had really become sullen frohter Exasperated, Fin shook his head, but eventually, he also laughed along with them
