Duke, Please Repent! chapter 274

51. Infiltration with the Duke (5)

By the way, what are our friends' names?

I'm Lina, this is Darren!

A girl named Lina answered.

When I first entered the orphanage, the only thing that was quiet was that the director was sleeping and was careful, but it seems that he has a lively personality.

Perhaps it's not just a child named Lina, but most of them.

At the age when I was most likely to like to talk about this and that, I thought that I was holding my breath while noticing the adults, and I got angry.

But it is impossible to show it in front of children.

I drew a smile that calmed my stomach and seemed as friendly as possible.

That's right. I'm Zion, and I'll be staying here from now on. Of course, I'll have to get the director's permission, Min-. Please take good care of me.

" you see?"

He answered the other questions lively, but to the words of kindness, a dull answer came back.

Even the kid named Darren doesn't answer yes at all. The boy's attention shifted completely from me to the cookie in my hand.

Darren and the other children seemed to have lost interest in me, so they all scattered.

From the beginning the children of the nursery school in the Prasidus Territory were playing and clinging to me.

Compared to what I've done, it's not cold and it's ruthless.

The children here are for you. To be more precise, they seem to have no expectations of adults.

'The only reason he showed interest in me, even for a moment, was that I came with Edna and gave them snacks.'

As a child named Darren started eating cookies next to me, Lina slowly began to stare at me.

The rustling of the chocolate wrapper in my hand quickly ends the conversation with me.

I want to pay and eat chocolate.

If it were a normal child, I would have talked while eating without noticing this.

There was only a sigh of regret, but I had no choice but to swallow a sigh.

Thank you. You can go play now.

It wasn't until my horse ran out that the two kids took their seats away from me.

The two children, who looked the same age, exchanged snacks for each other in half, and started chewing from the corner.

If I eat like that, I would like to send a message to the liver, but the director is a child.

It doesn't look like they've even provided food.

You're probably doing it to save money.

Heh, ke, ke hueng-.

Suddenly, there was a mix of baby whining and cackling sounds.

Worried about what had happened, I ran in front of the baby after a month or so. The baby was lying on the floor and vomiting.

He's been like this every day.

I quickly turned the baby on its side so that the vomit would not flow into the airway, but the girl who was taking care of the baby's self-talk reached her ears.

Does your baby vomit often?

Ugh. I always vomit after feeding formula. I'm talking to the head teacher, so it's like this, right?

I asked the question carefully so as not to sound like I was arguing as much as possible, and the girl answered in a plain voice.

Her face hardened at the girl's words.

'How can a person called the director be so irresponsible!'

It is true that babies vomit easily, but no baby vomits every day for no reason.

'Maybe there was no exaggeration in the word 'everyday', the girl was accustomed to taking out gauze and wiping the baby's face and vomit on the floor.

" Did you burp by any chance?"

"Trim?

Yeah, that.

As if the girl knew nothing, her innocent eyes blinked.

It wasn't a big problem, it was a very simple, basic problem. It is a very big problem that the basic problem was repeated every day.

Children may not know, but the director must have known. If you've been growing up here since you were little, you can't know.

First of all, I'll change my clothes, and then I'll have to feed the formula again.

I'll bring it.

thanks.

...why?

Without trying to get up from her seat, the girl suddenly expressed her doubts.

I can't understand the meaning, so I asked, 'Huh?'

shook

"Ah, wait. I want to wash up first, but where is the bathroom?"

At the end of the hallway...

The girl beckoned me to not explain, just follow me. I carefully grabbed the baby and followed him.

The girl who was walking in the lead pointed at the bathroom door with her finger, then opened a door next to the hallway and entered, saying that she was going to get some clothes.

I opened the bathroom door and went inside and looked inside.

There was a small window for ventilation.

I don't even have a jaw for people to go in and out.

Reluctantly, he opened the door secretly, pulled his neck out and looked around to make sure that no one was there before opening his mouth.

"Three , Ador."

It was a very small sound, close to a murmur in his mouth, but it was enough to call him.

Suddenly, Serpens fell from the ceiling, covered my mouth, entered the bathroom and locked the door.

I don't know where or how he was hiding.

Why did you call me all of a sudden? That's also the name of the third.

He asked, removing the hand that had covered my mouth.

He looked slightly nauseous as if he was upset that he gave his snacks to the children.

If I call out Ador's name and anyone hears it, it's a big deal.

If you're worried about who's listening, why don't you just call?

But I'm worried about the baby...

We found the cause of the upset stomach, but maybe there is another problem. Also, if I vomited every time, the esophagus would have been very bad.

Serpens glanced down at the baby who was constantly whining in my arms, and poured divine power into the baby.

It is very sacred and noble to see the eyes looking down and emitting a divine light.

By the time his hand fell, the baby had already stopped whining.

"Of course you left it?"

Yes?

Cookies. You were supposed to take Benevolen-san secretly.

Serpens proudly held out his hand and said.

The gentle saint I had just seen was gone, and only a child remained, asking me for a snack.

Uh...

"Did you blink?"

No, that's, so...

"As promised, how could you do this to me?"

Serpense put on a sad expression

It was.

The images of the children who were disappointed by Ed Na's words that he had forgotten a gift before, overlapped.

Seeing the withered appearance, the words, 'If you want to eat like that, you can buy and eat it yourself.'

'It is said that children who grew up eating poorly will have more food cravings when they grow up... . Serpense is like that too?'

If it is the expression of compensation for not being cared for and restricted from eating since childhood, this

It is also quite understandable.

I can take care of Ador at any time, but that's not the case with the kids here. So, for the time being, let's put up with the candy I gave you. Yes? I buy you a bunch of sweet desserts as soon as you finish work... Oh! No, but the famous dessert on the way home. Why don't we go to the store together and choose what Ador wants to eat? I only ate what I picked out every day.

uh... .

Perhaps it was a very tempting story, and the sadness faded from the guy's face.

At the subject that raised the corners of his lips as if he was going to die, he was laughing hard, and he drooled as if he was worried.

As I looked at it, a shrill smirk leaked out.

- Click, click

The doorknob vibrated as if someone was trying to open the bathroom door. Suddenly, Serpence jumped high and hung on the edge of the ceiling.

I beckoned him to unlock the lock because he was fine.

I was worried that I might get caught, but once

I opened the door as he told me to.

I brought baby clothes.

Yes, thank you.

You haven't washed yet?

"Uh , huh? Ah! To adjust the water temperature?

Serpens grabbed the upper part of the doorframe and gave it a recoil, fluttering her body over the girl's head, landing silently behind her back, and then performing a quick vanishing stunt.

I was taken in by that mysterious movement, and I almost missed the timing to respond to the girl's words.

Isn't there hot water here?

A girl who had no idea what had happened over her head and behind her back spoke bluntly.

Oh, that's right! Somehow, he said it was strange that only cold water came out.

I hesitated a bit and asked the girl to lead me to a place where I could heat the water.

The girl led me to the kitchen, where I could only wash the baby after heating the water.

In the meantime, I asked a few questions. As a result, what was the girl's name?

I could tell he was D. and he was 13.

"Is it your duty to look after the baby?"

My older sisters and older brothers and all the kids my age went to school, but I'm rambling, making a lot of mistakes, and no one wants to teach me because I'm stupid. That's why the head teacher said I was watching the baby.

When I put the bottle on the baby and asked a question, Wendy answered gloomy.

It's a story you can't believe even if you hear it with your ears.

What the hell did that sage bastard say to this little boy?

Are you messing around? I don't know? Does anyone take care of the baby? How meticulously you have to take care of it! You can't even leave it to a really bubbly child. I'm sure I said that, but Wendy is a kind child who takes care of others, so I asked for it.

really?

So! Besides, at a young age, you weren't afraid of fire, and you boiled water every time you made baby formula, didn't you? He's delicate and kind, and he's even brave!

Hehehe...

As if the compliment had worked, Wendy let out a shy smile.

"But what about the burp?"

As the director said, babies vomit easily, but burping can prevent it to some extent.

If there's someone who says something like, 'You didn't burp, your baby vomited.'

No matter how ignorant they may be, children tend to blame themselves, not adults for not telling them.

all.

A child with low self-esteem will be even more so when they hear people say that they are stupid.

Words are different even if they say the same thing. If the same meaning can be expressed euphemistically, it is right to do so.

really?

Yeah. That's why I asked.

Then he doesn't vomit anymore, is he?

"Perhaps it is?"

I'm glad...! You seem to be in pain every day.

I was worried!"

Even if you hear the director say that babies are like that, it's strange if you don't worry about the baby constantly vomiting.

Wendy's face widened after hearing that it would be all right.

Wow, but it's very strange. When I washed it, no matter how many times I washed it, my skin kept waking up, but now it's really clean, right?

Wendy asked, gently stroking the baby's skin, which had had ringworm, with her fingertips.

That's a very sharp question.

In my mind, I wanted to give a kind reply while praising her wit, so there is no way I can say that Serpens fixed it with divine power.

Thanks to the skilled technology and know-how that has been honed over the years!

"Hey , didn't you ask Edna unnie for help because you couldn't get a job?"

"We also have a baby at home."

There is a large baby fence in the peacock mansion, and there is a baboon who has an adult mind but a baby body in the lord of Rivelon Castle.

They're both half-baked, but it's not wrong to add up to one baby and one adult.

But is that true? Are you really going to get a job here?

" I wish I did?"

''Yes!

It was difficult to say for sure, as it was only undercover, so when I asked around, a bright smile and light affirmations came out.

I started to feel sorry for nothing.

In order to ask questions comfortably, you have to be friendly, but you have to be quick.

I was worried about whether it would be okay.

'Besides, if you take Edna too...,

I can't even imagine how much heartache it would cause.

You can't be very close and you can't just keep your distance. I have to keep the proper distance, but I don't know how much.

A child closes the door of his heart to the one he is wary of and tries not to answer, but once he opens his heart, he gives everything.

A coffin for such a child

Maintaining a system is more difficult than making friends.

Did you bring a snack earlier?''

I can't keep my mouth shut, so I pretended to think of it and asked a question.

If you've grown your hair a bit, you'll notice I've been trying to be outspoken, but the young girl focused on the question just before her.

Yes. Edin brought it to me.

I don't know who Edin is, but it was certain that he was a really good kid.

After that, I chatted with Wendy.

And pretending to be playful in between conversations, or burping a baby like this. I was captivated by information about what to do when laying down and how good the temperature of milk powder is.

This way, even after I'm gone, I won't have any major problems taking care of the baby.

However, this method had a huge side effect... .

Wow, that's right. Sir Sion is amazing!

Wendy said 'Let's put the knowledge we learned at school

It is said that he started acting like a parent who praises a child who is raging.

As I watched the young children applauding me and thinking of me strangely, I was filled with a sense of shame.
