Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Orphanage story

The scouts caught the roaming locals, listened to the location of the orphanage, found a stall of interest, and stopped by while they arrived at their destination.

The orphanage seemed to be operating relatively well, and at least from the outside, it didn't feel like it was finally able to prevent the rain wind from blurring.

As far as I have heard from Sister, who was introduced as the director of the orphanage, it seems that the king's knees are sufficient to require a donation from the royal family.

That said, donations from the royal family depend solely on building maintenance, but also on other donations such as daily food costs.

Speaking of why it's such a hassle, it's because of a little problem in the past.

Previously, the royal family was trying to cover everything with donations so that there was no shortage.

One time, when a more powerful man than the King took his seat as Prime Minister, he was cut off from the royal donation for the sake of avoiding waste.

It also seems that there was a reason that it would not be equal if we did not accept not only the King's mercy, but also the donations of other nobles.

As a result, it appears that the orphanage was well run with donations from all quarters, at least while the Prime Minister was in power.

I wish I had finished talking, but the problem was when the prime minister succeeded and was chased out of power.

In order to buy the prime minister's interest, the nobles who had previously donated had narrowed their numbers to the extent that they occasionally came when they forgot.

Still, if we don't even have the luxury yet, there was a donation to the extent that we could manage it, but it will be decreasing as we get older.

In the current situation, the Chancellor's influence diminished and the King took a breath, declaring that only the maintenance of the building would be covered by the royal family.

I didn't decide to cover everything here to avoid stepping on the same foot as before.

Regardless of the criticism that the king is raising orphans for popularity, sometimes it is the king and the royal family who will be scooped at their feet.

The king at the time looked sad and apologized to the orphan director at the time.

---That was the content of the rough story of the director of the orphanage who is now in front of the auxiliaries.

"In fact, I don't know if there was an apology, but at least it was a royal donation that helped."

That's what the director of the orphanage said with a smile on his face.

The king of a nation did not apologize so easily, and even if it was a beauty talk made, he could see that he was not going to say it.

I have no intention of saying that to the examiners.

"Sure, you don't have to worry about where you live."

Sylvia nodded at the words of the orphan director.

In fact, the fact that you don't have to worry about "living in" among food, clothing, and housing is a material that can be relieved enough to operate an orphanage.

Living somehow costs a lot of money suddenly.

If you live a truncated life, that kind of expense becomes a huge burden.

So far, the orphan director looked like he remembered something, and then said with his hands on his cheeks.

"Oh, I'm sorry. When I'm here, I rarely get the chance to talk about it."

"No, absolutely not. It was very helpful."

Sylvia shook her head in response to the orphan's apology.

In the first place, this happened because Sylvia told us that she was also hosting orphans and running the facility.

In response, the orphan director, who seems to like the story, told the story so far.

Of course, what we talked about so far was something meaningful to the students, so I dared not stop.

The director of the orphanage, who confirmed that Florian was nodding and not saying anything, looked relieved.

"So... did you mean zero? Indeed, Zero is in this courtyard."

Really? Have you been here long?

When Sylvia asked, the director of the orphanage nodded with cockroach.

"That's right. Surely he was about five or six years old, so it should be about five years."

Zero, who lost his father and mother at about the same time, never blended in with the surroundings when he first came to the orphanage.

It improved when graduate Tamer visited the hospital.

Zero, nostalgic to the subordinate that the graduate had with him, began to talk to other children from there as well.

However, apart from the fact that the trigger was obedience, such stories are common in orphanages.

"Some of the kids couldn't get back together in a jam, but he was relieved not to."

That's right.

"There's nothing else here... oh, no. I was about to derail again."

Seeing the orphan director put his hand on his cheek with a relaxed expression while saying so, Kaiseki sighed with relief that he was about to talk for a long time again.

There was no wind of such an examination, and the director of the orphanage looked at the examiners with the face he expected.

"So, the fact that you went out of your way to get rid of me...?

"Unfortunately, I haven't decided yet. First, I thought I'd listen to you properly."

Sylvia answered clearly, and the orphan director sighed with regret.

"Yes, that's right. I don't want to. You're too quick."

From the standpoint of running the orphanage, the feeling of loneliness that the orphans will be taken over by well-identified people does not bother you.

That's because I know it's the best thing for the children's future.

However, it will be difficult to prove a solid identity, as the examiners are the visitors who came to the city in a flurry.

The director of the orphanage knows that and dares to say this.

The examiners are the examiners, and by listening to the story, we are confirming the person of zero, so either can be said.

Rather, it is the first time an orphan has been placed in such a pile.

No matter how noble the opponent is, the orphanage director can't be trusted to give the child to you as soon as you come.

Eventually, after some chatting with each other, the examiners left the orphanage director's office.

Then, after the examiners had left the room for a while, Sister, who was usually the assistant director of the orphanage, came into the room.

"How was it?

Sister answered the orphan director's short question with a smile.

"There was no particular problem. He seemed to be used to dealing with children."

"Yes... what subordinate did you bring with you?

"There was no problem with that either. I'm sure some of them told me not to go near the kids from the beginning."

The examiners left Nana outside before entering the orphanage director's office.

I can't believe how many adults the examiners told me that the children kept their word, but the director of the orphanage was relieved that at least there were no injured people.

Without such well-disciplined obedience, a few accidents can happen when many children are in front of them.

Such a thing also plays a role in seeing the people of the examiners.

As a result, the problems were cleared, and the director of the orphanage was thinking about that in his head.
