... live free!

When she came to the orphanage again, she met Yua, who had a big problem washing her laundry.

"Is that it, Lena?

"Yeah. I can't go without telling Youre for a second, so I'm back."

"What do you have to tell me?

When I said that, Youre seemed strange, but I decided to explain to Youre what Emilia had just told me.

"You explained that I had asked you to leave this city for a while, didn't you?

"Yeah."

"That's when I heard what bothered me about Yours."

"What do you care about us?

When you say that, you don't seem to know Yua very well. I'm going to tell you what I said because I've been listening back to you with my face.

"This may sound a little nasty, but this orphanage was run by the dean, right?

"... yes, I am"

"I was asked to find out who owns this orphanage by the death of its director."

"Owner?... a new person is coming because the Dean is dead?

Yua came to me somewhat anxiously. Well, if you think normally, maybe Youre thinking right. But I think the dean owned the land, including the orphanage, individually because it was being treated like a transfer of ownership. I don't think I could do that if this land was lord-owned...

In the meantime, Yua has what Emilia told me and maybe this will happen. I thought I'd tell you my guess.

"I'd be relieved if it was still that, but I don't think so maybe"

"Huh? So what happens to the orphanage?

"I don't know. Maybe the orphanage will be gone."

"... we're out of places to live?

That's what I nodded when asked.

"I thought this winter would make my life easier than last year..."

"For once, if there's anything at the orphanage, we can all go to Lana's inn."

"Huh? But I'm ready for the kind of money we can spend..."

"It's okay about that. I have spoken to Lana too. For once, even for Mr. Emilia. In the meantime, if you're having trouble with your life, you go to Lana's shop and you do me a favor so I can spend some time."

"Huh? Could it be that Lena went to ask for it?

"Well, like that"

"... thanks. But what am I supposed to do?"

That's what Yua was trying to worry about in the future. Assuming that the person who was to own this orphanage land is a bad person, what is in the orphanage might be taken away. At least, you might want to keep your clothes and anything that will help combat the cold together and hide them.

"In the meantime, you might want to hide all the clothing and anything that will help combat the cold. For once, there are spares, and I think it would be nice to hide them somewhere where we can't find them temporarily, or even bring them out later. Oh, maybe we should hide some more money together."

"I see, but what can I say to Lumia and the others..."

"The Dean's death may prevent him from living here. Isn't that okay?

"... I see.... Well, is there still time for Lena?

Yur, who made me look convinced, came to ask me that after a little worrying.

"Hmm? Well, you'll be fine until lunch."

When I said that, Yua looked horrible.

"... I'm going to explain to the Lumias, but could you come with me?

"Fine."

"Thank you. I'm a little nervous that I'll be the only one who can tell you..."

"It's okay. Because of that, I'm going to go out with him until he hides it."

"Huh? Are you sure?

"Yeah. Shall we go talk sooner than that?

That being said, Yua nodded and went inside the building. And Yua walked out to the back together when she had what she had.
