The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Episode 42: Mother of the Orphanage

Shortly after I step in the back, I receive a report of death butterfly captivity from Hatch's family bee.

Since then, reports of the detention and execution of successive Laguna executives entering. Jill's enemies make us all quite in the mood. There is no need for me to move anymore. So I was prioritizing the protection of the children being captured. And I finally freed the kids from jail...

"Damn, I was wondering what kind of idiot would raid this second district with fucking rules, but I didn't know it was you"

A brunette boy, who was a prisoner, shook his neck left and right, but said so to himself.

"Hmm? Have I ever met you? My memory suggests this is the first time we've met?

"Yeah, it's the first time I've met you. I know you well enough."

I can't read his intentions. Seems like you know me, but he's pretty sure I've never actually met him.

"Anyway, I'd like a moment of your time. You left with your bare hands like this, and I'll be scolded by my mother."

Mother. That's a name you can take for yourself.

"I can't really talk to you, but I don't mind."

It's also creepy that they only know it. There will be more. You'll be glad to see this boy's mother.

"Then, as soon as this concurrent indictment is over, we need you to get to this location in this First District."

The brunette boy goes up the dungeon stairs when he hands me a piece of paper with a map drawn on it.

To observe from the thinness of that position and signs, it would be a spy who was undercover with the life of someone like that mother.

Young women and young boys and girls from the dungeons decided that we, the Sagami Chamber of Commerce, would protect them until the trial. Honestly, because I don't trust or trust them enough to leave them unconditionally with the present imperial government.

Except for high-ranking nobles and Laguna constituents who just don't care about life or death. So the aristocrats who were guests and the survivors of Laguna immediately handed them over to Justice Luca. However, only the Dead Butterfly (Shigeru), who seems to know enough information, keeps it in the hatch to collect information. When I pull it all out, I'm thinking about doing it to Baron Haklow as well. He seems to have some deep connections with Laguna, and it would be important to sell him a favor.

If it hadn't been broken by the hatch, it would have been. The bottom of my heart, I don't care.

Go to the place where the disturbance was directed by the brunette boy in the case of each other.

It was a church in the corner of District I, a slum neighborhood.

"Are you sure this is a good place?

I thought that boy was a government or military spy, but why a church? Wrong place, too?

"Uh, Sir Grey, I've been waiting for you."

As the dark-haired boy shows up from the building earlier, he gently meets and leads me, "Please, come this way".

The church building was quite ageing, but was wide and full of warmth. And what struck me most was the look on the faces of the children dressed in the inhabited monastic garments of this church.

"Seems like there are only kids here?

"Yeah, Mother would never allow the kids to be pastors or sisters. Everyone will be picked up by their mothers and raised here, but as adults, they will graduate from this church and find a new family. That's why there are no adults."

I mean, is this an orphanage? You look like a woman like that mother. You're certainly getting interested.

After a short walk, I leave for a cathedral-like worship facility.

On the altar of the facility, a giant man in a monastic garment was praying.

"Mother, I have brought Sir Grey"

The big man turns to me,

"Lord Grey, welcome to our monastery. I'm Sildre Laval. Here you go."

When I gently broke my hips, I greeted him.

Sildre Laval's name is famous in the Empire.

He is the head of the Gateway nobility and one of the bellies of the Emperor Iskandar. Even the Empire has the strongest class of force. Good rumors so far.

Was it a childhood hobby, only a toddler in Sildre's Hall, a gateway to desire for both men and women?

But such rumors are false at a glance if you look at their happy faces. In the first place, it's only natural to have children because it's an orphanage purpose.

Not at all. Neither have I. I'm not in a position to tell Lennox great things like swinging by crap rumors and clouding my eyes.

"Thank you for your help in eliminating the bonkers."

Sildre has bowed her head deeply to me, who is only a young man yet. Someone whose appearance and contents do not match at all.

"No, I got caught, too, and it was time for patience."

"Nfu, the limit of patience. Laguna wasn't supposed to be a null organization enough to crush it with one of those intentions."

"Just kidding. I would have destroyed Laguna and one of you."

Status Average A +. If only physical strength, even Iskandar is exceeded. Exactly, the most powerful class in the world. Because there are many things I can't solve.

"I am the sword of His Majesty the Emperor. That is, military personnel. So I can't use force in the second district where those bonkers were lurking"

"That's only pre-construction. If you're on their rules, you can do as much as you want."

Sildre nodded satisfactorily,

"You're a root hero because you can do that, aren't you? But like you, it's not normal."

"I don't agree with this old man. I think the master should know himself better. '

Serious voice murmur sometime. Speaking of which, you haven't been opening your mouth much lately. It was depressingly describing the female body a while ago. Well, even so, I jump at the beauty and drool my delusions.

I thought I'd deny it, but I missed the timing on Mullah's sidelines, would I divert the topic? I just wanted to ask you something.

"Then why weren't you marched during that undead raid?

This man could have been annihilated by himself, and he had to sacrifice much less.

"I couldn't leave this empire then for a reason. I don't care what you sacrifice. What, did you despise me?

"No, I'm just like you. I was going to decide not to look and pretend not to look if my stepmother didn't force me to. It's just luck that I marched. It's empathy, contempt, etc. Very, very much."

"Nhehe, you really are a funny guy. That's why His Majesty wanted to bet on you, too."

"Did Your Majesty want to bet? Is there a guy from Iskandar?

"A little too much talk. Wow. That concludes this story. Play with the kids tonight. Many kids dream of joining the Sagami Chamber of Commerce in the future, and no, everyone will be delighted."

"If it's okay with me, I got it"

Stand up and return your heels to the room where the children were gathered.

"Sir Grey."

"Yes?"

"You are a straight good boy. So no matter what happens, continue along the path you believed in."

Do you treat me like a child? This guy is really changing.

"Yeah, thanks for the advice."

Now it was time for me to leave the room behind.
