□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

When I accompanied her on the [Eltram], I heard that Ms. Isala runs orphanages throughout Cardina.

I only hear the reason for this is due to Mr. Isala's past.

Because I didn't hear the details, and I thought you wouldn't deserve to hear them.

However, it was difficult to run more than one orphanage in this harsh environment of Cardina, as well.

To be precise, it is difficult to operate a child without placing it in a poor environment.

They say that many of the orphanages were facilities to a critical extent that they could live, or to trade as slaves and make money in the future.

Ms. Isala was trying to increase the number of orphanages in Cardina where children could live healthier.

But it takes a huge amount of money, and it doesn't even reach Mr. Isala, who is a super position.

The prize money earned on monster crusades that dive the dead line also disappears into operating expenses.

In harsh cardina, there were too many underprivileged children.

Even with more orphanages, I can't hold them.

Mr. Isara was fighting to shrink herself in an attempt to save an unsaved child.

But if I had continued that way of life, I would have lost my life one day, and both she and the orphanage would have ended.

At that time, it was Mr. Manigold who became her sponsor.

"I have nothing but money," he said. He hired Isala for more money than she had earned until then.

Ask the person who recognises the object, "I just wanted to get an escort and mistress of a beautiful woman in a super position with arms" and "I don't know how to use the money I gave her, but I'm free of Isala". (I guess you actually said that)

But now I have something to think about as I head to the orphanage in [Dragnomad].

Mr. Manigold immediately drew and gave me a map to Isala's orphanage.

It's a map drawn by someone who understands "how to get to the orphanage" very clearly.

So I'm sure Mr. Manigold was concerned... with the relief of the orphan that Isala was doing.

That [King of Spells] is on his way to such a place right now.

I just don't know if it's for hide or seek or have some purpose.

But...... the "Missing Orphans Across Cardina" incident I saw in the paper this morning crosses my brain.

We rushed to the orphanage, hoping nothing had happened.

◇

To conclude, there was no disturbing air in the orphanage.

But apparently it wasn't the usual either.

"This is..."

The air is ridden with sound, and I hear the laughter of the children.

The atmosphere in the orphanage was lively and... delightful.

"Wow!

"Do more!

The grounds of the orphanage where the play equipment was placed.

There were five men there surrounded by many children.

He seemed to be showing BGM the whistle sound of one blowing and juggling and tricks to the kids.

However, all five wear masks.

The one wearing the oxygen mask... wasn't in the boulder though.

"... why not five?

"Ah! Here we go again!

Confused by the unexpected sight, the kids came running over saying so.

Those eyes are sparkling and they also seem to expect something from me.

"What are you doing here?"

"Arts?"

"Yeah!"

"Uncles. I don't know what to say."

"He's showing us tokubetsu today."

The children pointing to the men are making their voices play.

I guess it's just as much fun. Or maybe he's hungry for entertainment.

…………

But clearly, these men are blatantly suspicious.

Mercy gig acrobatics at this time?

Too, too convenient.

Wouldn't that HENTAI have let his buddies do the art here in advance?

"... right!

I thought that far and guessed HENTAI's thoughts.

We don't know his face, and we can't tell who HENTAI is if all the acrobatics wear masks.

If you dispute among your peers, the odds are one-fifth.

If you think about going out with a misanswer, this one is risky... good hand in the middle.

Somehow, we have to identify.

Let's ask the kids first.

"Do any of those five people come later?

"We were all together."

Those who lagged behind...... If anyone came after starting hide, I thought that was HENTAI himself but the reading came off.

Did you come to the orphanage after you joined your people? You're surrounded.

No, even so, when you get permission to perform here, rep...... that HENTAI should have talked about it.

Ask the staff of this orphanage about that time...

"I wish I could see them."

"I don't know where it was."

"Is it something crazy?

You're not here?

Kuck, it's stuck......!

"Cuco, do you understand?

……………………

Cuco says nothing.

I'm just pointing my gaze over here and there.

Men showing their art while surrounded by children.

"Damn! What do you want from me?"

"Fine, fine! If you don't mind, I'm gonna have to scrub the blanco.

"Wow. ♪ Faster. ♪"

"Oh, wow."

Children on playthings with a bare gesture that separates them from the children gathered and is not interested in art.

I guess they're kids of your age who dare turn their backs and want to be cool with what we're all obsessed with.

Well, there's only one girl who usually enjoys herself in a blanco.

…………

Cuco is circling his gaze at each of them with his neck tilted.

"Cuco?"

"Not yet (...), I don't know"

"... yes"

You seem to be thinking about something, but you still don't seem to get your thoughts together.

Then I'll think about it with me.

"Come on! The pigeon's coming out of this hat next!

That's what one of the masked men says, takes off his hat, and beats Concon with a stick in his hand.

The kids see the hat with their expectations, but nothing comes up.

Then patties and pigeons pop out of the tip of the stick and the kids are thrilled.

…………

...... not (...).

"I'll increase the number to seven -!

A man juggling increases the baton he was turning to seven.

The tone is similar to that HENTAI.

…………

... but this is also different (...).

Two other people doing arts, no.

Different voices (...).

I heard four of the five.

But none of that is that HENTAI voice.

I mean, one who stays. The man who keeps playing the whistle is the [King of Spells] LS Ergo Sm!

I point to the whistling man.

"LS, I put it on!

And proclaim with certainty the answer that arrived,

- It's a boo-boo!

- Wrapped in the light, along with the reward of misanswers.

When the light went out, my body was shrinking to as old as a kindergarten.

"Wow! I'm a child!

"It's amazing!

Around me, kids who don't know what's going on are happy with Cacca.

The men did not look particularly surprised and continued to perform with the arts.

"Oh, hey! Isn't that a little awesome?

"Heh, heh. Oh, more so, Blanco... more so..."

"Wow, stay here."

The kids playing with playthings are also looking at me as I twitch but shrink.

Though one enjoys a blanco without a problem.

No, more than that......

"Hey, why...?

Why is my answer a misanswer?

Perfect, I should have cut it out......

"... Ha!

No way...... your voice is bluff!?

Wearing weird voice accessories missed my aim!?

Then HENTAI is one of the four remaining......!

"Damn, all you have to do is cuco......!

Chances are a quarter, it's a bet.

... I, unlike my master, don't like gambling.

"Sorry, Cuco...... A quarter of the time, it's a bad bet..."

"............ good for the basket. I don't want to go to Hugo."

"I haven't had a bad poisonous tongue in a long time!?

Wow, I'm supposed to be smarter than I'm old enough!

I'm just too smart for that silver hair or Ray!

... Well, hey, I'm aware there's something too troubling...

"I've got you, too. If I can't, I'll be fat..."

Cuco put on his arms and thought "hmm" again about something, then

"Probably, okay"

Yes, I declared it.

"Really? Who are the four remaining LS Ergo Sum, you know?

"You don't get it, do you?

"Huh!? Something I'm saying ten seconds ago... Cuco?

Cuco turns his back on the five men.

Keep walking with Tokotoko and walk away.

That's how I walked away... there was a blanco.

"Yeesu (...), Mitsu (...)"

Cuco pointed to...... one of the kids playing away from the club.

I was rowing my blanco for the most fun...... girl.

After the child looked back at Cuco with a Kyotong face,

- I found him.

- I said that with a laugh.

"Yes, hello. It's me. Me, me."

…………

"... sorry, it's Richter"

"I'm also communicating with you, so if it's not you, I'm in trouble. So I was wondering, has anything unusual happened in [Dragnomad]?

"Uh, I had a bit of a weird byte. Then I even stopped by that [Prodigal King] and freaked out. Maybe, they haven't noticed. He's got a different face."

'... you'll do something about it, but be careful. You're the only one on your knees. "

"Copy that. So, what's the story with this communication? It's not a regular contact, is it?

'Something went wrong. There could be trouble in that city. "

"Ah! Is that about the [King of Spells] relationship, after all?

'... what are you talking about?

"Is that it? Different...? What do we have to do with this?

"It's La Crima's Retrieval"

"... hey hey hey hey hey"

"It's all true."

"No, that guy's case is a pain in the ass. Cardina's support, so I know you very well, me."

'... if you need anything, process it so it doesn't get through to us'

"No. I pray you don't have to work. Mr. Rascal (...)"
