Duke, Please Repent! chapter 286

51. Infiltration with the Duke (17)

Serpens spoke as if he had to act immediately, but nothing changed immediately.

Even when I woke up the next day, I prepared the same morning and played with the children.

One thing that has changed is that the director, who was always alone in the director's room,

That Edna was called into the director's office.

'The conversation is obvious... .'

They're probably trying to entice Edna to attack Rossio.

Fortunately, Edna seems to have let go of the guilt she felt toward the orphanage classmates, and she shed the words of the director in one ear and released the words she wanted to say.

I didn't hear the conversation that went to Edna directly, but my guess would be correct given the circumstances.

I'm going to call Edna into the director's office first.

At some point, the manager ran out as if he was running away first. And Edna with a cool expression on her face followed her leisurely.

It is clear that he poured out a bunch of cursing so that the mind of the director was ripped off.

Perhaps to clear his confused mind, the director took a break in the corner of the playroom for a while and then went back to the director's room alone.

'Eugese and Winston want to do well... ?'

If the order sent by Serpence through the Jeonseo-gu of others arrived properly,

Jess is Derek... . In other words, they must be investigating the author who was the teacher of Monam and Shion.

Winston is said to be hiding in a lodging near the nursery with the former director. If tracking is attached, you can come to the nursery immediately.

Teacher! Me too!

No, it's my turn! Lina, you've been on it before!

As Lina pulled Darren down and snuggled up on my back, she grabbed the back of my collar like a bridle and said:

The children at the nursery school in Prasidus Island also seem to have fun riding the horses. Or that the ride comfort of this body is just as awesome as the Serpence.

'Am I being punished for saying that I usually ride a serpent?'

It's a bit bittersweet, but it's good to see the kids brightened up.

I was worried that the children would feel a sense of distance because of throwing an expensive ruby brooch at Monam yesterday, but it turned out to be an opportunity to get closer.

With the exception of Wendy and Shion, the remaining children at the orphanage are less than ten years old.

Whether it is 35 million or 3 million, there is only a vague concept of public big money. I don't know what the wages are, and the prices.

Only the results that I chased away the scary adults would have caught my eye.

Guys, sir, you're too hard on Sion.

Edna, who was looking at the baby instead, said softly while I was giving the children a ride.

Thanks to this, I was able to get out of quadrupedal walking and be able to go bipedal again.

I stretched out to the fullest, feeling grateful to have my feet flat on the ground and my back straight.

"Shion, are you okay?"

Since then, I've been training quite a bit, so it's okay.

I'm glad you did.

Edna replied with a smile.

In fact, the fortunate thing is that I was slowly wanting to go to the bathroom.

it is

I thanked her inwardly and quickly headed to the bathroom. The director is in the director's room, and the rest are playing in the playroom.

Of course the bathroom will be empty. Without hesitation, he turned the doorknob and opened the door.

However, there was a passenger in the bathroom that was supposed to be empty.

Uh-, uh...!

The scream that was about to come out reflexively was stopped by the passengers.

Serpence covered my mouth and I

pulled into the bathroom. Then he closed and locked the door.

Very criminal-like appearance.

I blinked and signaled to him what he was doing here.

Shion? What's wrong?!

Edna's worried voice could be heard from afar.

Serpens carefully removed the hand that had covered my mouth. It means to say something to get you off your nerves.

Oh, no! No big deal! I almost slipped and fell!

I think Edna said something, but it's too small to hear.

Are you talking to yourself instead of answering my questions?

I didn't hear it, but I looked at him thinking that Serpense would have heard it.

Mr. Benevolen said that you should clean the toilet.

Did you increase your job for nothing?

I don't know why Serpence came, but I finished cleaning all the way and left.

I have to

Then, even if the conversation is long, you will have your own excuses.

"By the way, why did you appear this way?"

I have something to tell you urgently.

Yours. So you must have come.

" why are you being so aggressive? Were you surprised that I suddenly appeared?"

Just as Ador has a matter to urgently tell me, so I have a matter to finish here urgently.

I also wondered what it would be like to be with the same men, but if you think that someone is watching you work... .

it's kinda like that too

Anyway, please tell me quickly.

It is said that someone is coming from the upper side of Rossio.

Judging from the way he speaks, it is clear that the director couldn't stand it and exchanged letters with the top Rossio, and Serpens stole it again and read it.

"Are you here for me?"

I will.

Serpens answered briefly and nodded.

The manager was talking about me, so of course he should have looked into it. You must have heard the news about the visitors to the tower.

'And the fact that the visitors came through the introduction of the anima".

very short time.

I thought I should have waited for Edna to come to the nursery by hiding around here without stopping by the tower, but I quickly erased it.

In that case, the children would have been neglected for a longer period of time.

Edna would have collapsed while standing alone with no place to lean on.

"Are you here to warn me?"

Serpens, who knew what I was going to say, shook his head left and right.

I'm here to warn you to keep your mouth shut.

"I must have guessed it anyway "

I mean don't provoke.

It seems that I usually have a lot of complaints about my mouth.

But should I take comfort in not telling you to shut up at all?

"But knowing that Serpence is here, you sent Jeon Seo-gu well, didn't you?"

It seems like you don't know.

,,Eh?!,,

Think about it -La. Sir Winston first got off the train to pick up the former chief, and Eugesie and I acted separately from the Ferolean Territory.

Serpens continue to be together..., ah...

As he said, Edna and I were the only ones who rode a carriage to the orphanage from the Peroles. Serpence secretly followed without being noticed by anyone.

Besides, a letter from the head of the department containing information about me arrived safely.

Serpense could be misunderstood that he was running all over the place to investigate, just like Eugenes.

It has become an unintentional bait operation.

.. Isn't that really your intention?

Not really this time.

Well, okay. I'll trust you this time.

He pouted his lips as if he was dissatisfied with my words.

Yours. I always believe in you, so hide well, and when it gets in danger, please rescue me right away.

Yeah, I got it.

As if he was satisfied now, Serpens relaxed his expression and opened the bathroom door. And it disappeared as soon as I left.

If you look at him, your divine power

I wonder if there is even a stealth function.

Of course, I knew that there was no such function, but the guy's movements were secret that much.

With a curious mind, I pulled my head out the door and looked around, and Ed and my eyes met.

Did you hear the door open and come to clean the bathroom?

It's an emergency. I haven't gotten the job done yet.

Wait! I'm going to clean the bathroom, so go and play with the kids.

please.

No, I'm so sorry that I made Shion even like that...

What do you mean? It's me who got a job here, and Edna-san is just staying here for a while, right?

Let's talk about my current settings, but Edna is like that... ' he murmured.

Taking advantage of her hesitation, she tries to close the bathroom door again... .

Sion-sensei, I guess you did!

A child's voice pierced my ear.

"Ah that's right. If you look at the back of the toilet, you can see through it, you can use it."

Serpence caused an absurd misunderstanding.

I felt my face light up and slammed the door shut.

You don't have to be shy! The water pressure here is a bit weak...

Edna's surrogate excuse heard through the door made me even more ashamed.

It has been postponed for a while due to the appearance of Serpence.

After finishing their work], with anger, they rubbed and washed the mold in the bathroom slowly.

I returned to the playroom after changing wet clothes in the room.

As they slumped down with an ego-go sound, the children started chasing and playing pranks on them.

'By the way, I've never played with Serpence... ?'

No matter how much I consider Serpent to be (twenty) six years old, the fact that he is a strong man in his 20s does not change.

Moreover, unlike his appearance, he has a strong and muscular body, so if I ride him on a horse, my back will be sore.

Although teaching swordsmanship is Serpence's hobby, it's hard to say that it's fun. On the day of a snowball fight, he might be killed by a ball of snow thrown by him.

...Let's give this up;

Fortunately, Serpens is an adult even though he has a body.

Play for the development of the large muscles of a child full of divine power like Serpens.

To that end, ordinary people will die.

'The Counts of Rivelon and I want to be okay... ?'

Vivi's hand that was ripping my hair hard is still clear.

He's a guy who knows how to think about his family, so I'll play while recovering him in moderation.

While I was dealing with the children in a leisurely way with various thoughts in my head, a cold wind blew in from somewhere.

'I should put some paper on the door, I can't do this.'

An old man with a cane and a large figure stronger than the escort that Monam Lee had brought yesterday stood at the front door.

If the escort that Monamy brought was '2/3 winstone, that size was a whopping 3/14 winstone'.

Of course, it is an expression that refers to body size or muscle mass, not height.

I remembered Serpence's words that I had forgotten for a while while cleaning the bathroom.

I removed the children and got up quietly from my seat.

Who are you ?

Even though she had not been able to convey Serpense's words to Edna, she raised her vigilance and asked a question.

Judging by the fact that he even hides the children behind his back, he seems to have felt an unusual energy from the unfamiliar visitor.

I don't know what the wizard is going to do with the vanguard.

But the way he was trying to protect the children was very reliable.

"Does this place welcome guests like this?"

I'm sorry, something bad happened a while ago.

I have some But what is your business?"

Despite the self-proclaimed guest's point of view, Edna did not lower her vigilance and asked again.

Contrary to the dissatisfaction with the reception of guests, the self-proclaimed guest smiled and looked around the playroom.

A creepy look swept the children's faces.

That gaze was brief, but when it passed me by, I got goosebumps for some reason. Instinctively, I felt a sense of reluctance.

I'm here to find out about adoption.

Was it really just a guest?

It doesn't feel too good for that.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a monkey, even if it's a guest who came to find out about real adoption. To the extent that I have a premonition that I will never be able to give up my child.

Is the person here my ex-wife here?

Except for the director in the director's office. If you want to adopt, first talk to the director in the director's office...

No, you don't have to. I want

because it is clear.

Maybe it's because the demons resemble the Demon King, or because they have a lot of temperament as a second-class soldier, so they seem to put all their effort into setting the mood.

There is also an intention to confirm that Serpence is not here, but since he came here, the win rate would be higher if he just shouted out for the win.

I don't know if I'm cautious or stupid.

I came here after hearing that there was a child named 'Zion' here, and I came to the right place.

It seems.

Yes? Me?

Shion, a boy with no bruises, asked, pointing at himself with a puzzled expression.

The old man shook his head and pointed at me with his cane.

It seems that even my portrait is circulating among the demons.

Had I known this would happen, I would have put a teardrop that said it was effective in inducing facial recognition disorders.

In real life, it's not too young, but in the drama, I didn't even recognize my ex.

Since this is a fantasy world, I hope that it will have a similar effect.
