CH 105

[Orphanage]

“So this is Lisburn village~. Hah~, the village really give off countryside vibe~. Ah! Dimol has crossed the mountain too. Wouldn’t it be faster if we had come from there? Dimol, here! Here!” (Cinzia)

Cinzia’s bone bird perching on the shoulder of Noelia, who is looking at the village, jumps up and flies toward Dimol who have crossed and is coming down the high mountains.

Cinzia, a master of employment magic, can communicate with Dimol and Diedur without any problems; this time she guides Dimol who is coming from the sky.

“Cinzia-sama, please say that again after seeing Dimol’s condition. Since even a wyvern that is strong against the cold has its body frozen to that degree, a mere human would end up freezing to death.” (Frick)

Dimol, who has crossed the mountain and is descending down to the village, gently drops his altitude and comes down to us after spotting our figures.

Having come close to the ground, Dimol flaps his wings to remove the frost on his body.

“Dimol, thank you for your hard work. I’ll go get hot water at the orphanage immediately, so wait a bit.” (Frick)

“Kuee!”

“Is the orphanage where Frick-sama grew up that mansion-like building in the middle of the village?” (Noelia)

After greeting Dimol who has landed on the ground, Noelia who had been looking at the village points at the location of the orphanage.

“Ahh, it looks like everyone in the orphanage came out seeing Dimol’s appearance. I’ll go explain the situation.” (Frick)

“I will go with you as well. Suzana, can I have you look after Dimol and the others? I will be going ahead to accompany Frick-sama explains the situation.” (Noelia)

“I’ll tag a——hey, Diedur!?” (Cinzia)

Diedur catch Cinzia who is flying around Dimol with his mouth, restraining her.

It seems that he caught Cinzia so she doesn’t cause any problems, she is so noisy after all.

“Thanks, Diedur. Take care of Cinzia-sama.” (Frick)

“Hey—, take me too—. Diedur, let go—” (Cinzia)

Not waiting for Diedur’s reply, I pull Noelia’s hand and rush to the orphanage.

When we arrive at the orphanage, the director and his wife are outside along with the children who look anxious.

“I am sorry for causing you anxiety. That wyvern is the possession of the Henestrosa family, so please rest assured as he will not harm anyone.” (Noelia)

Noelia politely bows her head to everyone from the orphanage who have confused faces.

“Looking at a glance, I think that crest belongs to the Henestrosa family, however… could it be that you are the daughter of Lloyd-sama, Noelia-sama?”

Immediately after realizing that the other party is the daughter of the Henestrosa family, the director and his wife shows an obliged look.

“I am late in introducing myself. I am Frontier Count’s daughter, Noelia Henestrosa. In this occasion, this person——” (Noelia)

“It’s been a long time Director Danton, Philia-sensei. It’s me, Finn. That wyvern named Dimol is my partner, so there’s no need to worry!” (Frick)

The director and his wife, who I met again after a long time, seems a little confused, but they sure look the same as when we met last time.

Director Danton seems to be a little thin, but his round brown eyes and unkempt brown hair remain the same.

Her wife, Philia-sensei too; her strong-willed red eyes and beautiful long red hair remain so lustrous that she doesn’t look her age.

Both of them are about over fifty years old, right……

I want to make more money and ease their burden.

“Eh!? Finn-kun? The voice is certainly Finn-kun’s, but… the appearance…” (Danton)

Danton, the director, looks even more confused seeing the appearance of me, who called myself Finn.

“Your beautiful black hair has become bright red short hair, and your clear black eyes have also become red eyes, the same as mine… What happened, really?” (Philia)

Philia also shows a confused look the same as her husband seeing my transformed appearance.

“There were some circumstances, so I changed my appearance to be like this, however… The story is a bit hard to talk about outside, so can we talk inside?” (Frick)

“Eh, ah, ahh. Okay. Everyone, go back to the room and continue studying. From now on, I will be having an important talk with Finn-kun and his friend. Alright now, go back, chop chop. Finn-kun, can you go to the director’s office first? I will head there after sending the children back to the classroom. Philia too, please help me out.” (Dolton)

“Yes, yes, everyone, get back to the classroom, okay? Though his appearance has changed a lot, this child is undoubtedly Finn-kun, so rest assured. Right, right, let’s have him show us that wyvern again later. Hey~, you there, get back to the classroom.” (Philia)

Danton, with Philia’s help, pushes the children of the orphanage who are out to see the wyvern toward the classroom.

As I was told not to get in the way, shall I go to the director’s office first?

“Noelia, let’s go to the director’s office first. It’s this way.” (Frick)

“Y-yes. I understand. Let us go.” (Noelia)

As I’m familiar with the orphanage, I unhesitantly pull Noelia’s hand and start walking toward the director’s office to wait for Danton and Philia.

A girl and a young man, hand in hand…
