After finishing, we traveled to the sky on the Sky Turtle.

Winter air is cold and dry, but magically wrapped in the "wall of air," so there's nothing like wind blowing in and freezing.

Under my eyes I could see the 'Sage's Hall', but the brown tile roof and Hemperoza's special mini-world tree (...) gradually drifted away.

"Wow! That's awesome! It's expensive!?

Ride your torso out of the rear of the room (capin) and peek underneath, Iola.

"Bacaio! Stop... please don't embark yourself!

"Heh heh!

"Stop... you must be saying it!

"Phew! Tell me!?

Riola catches the root of the shaky Iola and pulls her into the room (cabin).

Riola has not taken her hand off Iola's back, even as she looks angry. Apparently, he was hallucinating that Iola would fall.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I looked back from your seat and spoke with a bitter smile.

"Ah...... yeah"

"Look! He said sit here!

Riola wants Poughpoff and the groom in the room in the palm of her hand.

Guestrooms have about two merte long cages across the street, like long benches. Inside, you can store your luggage, and it's convenient to sit and fall asleep while you're on the move.

"Hey, we're good friends."

Across the street, Lentomia sits back and watches the interaction between the two like that. I feel that Lentomia somehow has a different atmosphere than before.

I feel like I've started to be interested in other people, or I used to just look at narrow relationships, like my relationship with me, but lately I feel like I'm trying to be actively involved.

- I came back because I missed everyone.

Maybe that's one of the changes I'm glad to think of, too, the words I was saying.

"Oh, yeah, both of you. Let's play a simple game. Games of cards"

Lentomia took a bunch of cards out of her pocket. Iola and Riola make their eyes shine.

"Oh, I'll do it!

"Heh!? Brother Ren, no. Are you original?

"It's a big old game I found in the library. Thus there are three different cards with paintings of 'Kings' and 'Soldiers' and 'Slaves' …"

The three of them turned their heads and somehow started playing card games. I want to get mixed up, too, but I can't let go because I have an important role to play in flying this carriage.

"Ugh, I want to play too"

"Sage Grecas, I won't miss you because I'm here with you."

"Right, Meti. Oh? You got a narrow pocket with a broken feather?

"I'm fine. Big things will go back to normal soon."

The fairy Methius fits perfectly in my chest pocket holding the reins in your seat. He has a broken back feather, but he doesn't have a problem.

This fairy (Meti) is great for the person she talks to when she's lonely.

The only difficulty is that you look like a "dangerous person talking alone"...

Eventually, the Sky Turtle (Sky Turtle) flew about an hour into the sky and arrived at a small village orphanage a little off the eastern streets.

The village's name is Higashimura. Looks like a village developed from a lodging along the street.

Surrounded by flat meadow areas, this village facing the river is surrounded by trees like oasis. Is the number of households about 100?

The name of the orphanage is Hitamari Garden. It feels really appropriate.

Apparently the exterior of the building, which was originally a church, is not maintained, and signs showing that it is the only orphanage are decaying and worn out.

The garden tip of the building along the river is lined with rope between several trees. There, the laundry, which had been rubbed off and connected many times, was shaking in a cold breeze.

"Which is it?..................... What!?

Gi, and when the door opened, a girl about the same age as Plum peeked into her face from inside.

She has a bad complexion, thin and runny hair. Behind the child, three young children, six years old or there, hide in a frightened manner.

"Hey! Hello. This is Grecas, the passing sage."

I'm bright and healthy, Nica! and gave a nice smile.

"Knock... Knock! Sage...... ma!? Google...... what!? Real!? Damn!?

When a girl raises her voice of surprise, she makes her eyes black and white unbelievable, and so on. The children hiding on their backs are frightened because the circumstances cannot be swallowed.

Can I come in? And I walked in half forcefully.

Lentomia goes in after me.

"Wow..., we're all kind of lame, aren't we?

"Oh, I seem a lot lonely"

The kids' clothes feel like they are using used and bought around. I don't feel thin and dirty though, is it because the older kids are solid, such as the girls who responded and the boys who stayed up surprised by the sudden visit? Only cleaning and laundry seems to be done properly.

The room is also relatively clean, with firewood (maki) burning red in the fireplace. Minimum clothing and shelter to sneeze through the cold and rainstorms seems to be in place, reassuring for a moment.

"Sir?"

"Who?

"A great man?

"Awesome cloak, huh?

"Silly, those are the wizards!

Yikes!? and the little one running away.

"Hahaha yeah but I am a wizard! Were you all being a good girl? I brought a present for the good boy, but the bad boy... he'll take you far away in that flying carriage?

Damn, I point my thumb behind my back.

There, the Sky Turtle (Sky Turtle) sat down, sounding a flashy noise from the sky.

In the carriage, Riola and Iola are beginning to unload their food.

A bunch of kids were running away, and I heard it was a gift. Now I'm rushing over. Really honest and cute.

Perhaps some of the kids have a girl named Leather who wrote to me. But I don't look for the kid or speak up.

Because it doesn't necessarily mean you can't talk poorly and get a terrible look at it later.

We're just passing through. That's the stance that I'm here to plug in.

"- Shut up! What's all the fuss? Drinking too much in the evening and still sleeping...... who are you, you guys?

It was a woman in her late twenties who came out of the back room. Wearing clothes that have nothing to do with the colour like work clothes, they are fat as a whole as if they had worn luxury meat.

According to pre-researched information, the orphanage administrator, Ms Ornas.

The contrast is clearly strange when compared to children who are malnourished and thin.

Fixing my sleeping hair with my hung, sharp eyes and giggling me and Lentomia.

But when I saw me and Lentomia's robe, my complexion changed.

There doesn't seem to be anybody in this country who doesn't know the finest white robes and the "robes of the wise" with gold edges in blue.

"Ah... are you, like, famous wizards... you? What can I do for you?

"Hey. In the work of special surveillance at the end of the year from the King's government. This is how they look around through orphanages everywhere. Simply put, I just want to taste the soup."

"Become!? I didn't ask... I didn't ask, no."

Ms Ornath, who obviously can't hide the upset. It responds violently to the word taste (...).

"Hmm? There's nothing wrong with that, is there? I'm just asking you to show me what you're always feeding me."

"Well, that's... troublesome"

"Ho...? That's right, and the kids have plugs. Come on, guys! Eat them together."

"Guys, line up!

"I'll separate the cheese from the bread in turn!

When Iola and Riola brought in bags containing cheese, ham, and other things, the children swarmed. The starving child herself.

The woman's face grew paler and paler. My whole body is shaking in small pieces.

"If you don't mind, could you give me a drink of leftovers from this morning's soup, too? It must be reported if it meets the nutritional value prescribed."

"I've drunk it and I don't have any left..."

I say nagging in a vanishing voice.

"Really? Ask the kids what they ate."

"Oh, that's...! Ma...!

I wonder how backward things are.

Apparently, we have to press charges against the King's government department. at least "to be monitored".

and then.

The little ones began to gather around Ms Onus with bread handed to them by Iola and Riola.

"Seike- a customer gave it to me -!

"Wow, big bread"

"Can I eat? Doctor."

The oldest boy took a step and stood in front of Ms Onus with the bread in his hand. There was a light in those eyes that was clearly similar to disbelief and anger.

"Doctor, can I eat? We're... hungry."

When the boy said just that, he tied his lips together in one letter.

The other kids just shut up and stare at the lady.

"... we all seem hungry for a long time...?

As I watched the lady, I sweated and managed to create a smile with a trembling voice.

"Mi, guys, it's okay, eat! Thank you to our customers."

"" Yay! Thank you Doctor, thank you Sage!

The kids started eating bread looking delicious, how hungry they were.

"... I have other business to attend to today, so I apologize for this. Later, a man from the King's government's audit will come. You'll see how nutritious the kids are."

It's easy to confess everything here, but it's better to give her respite and encourage her to improve than the only adult who can keep the garden.

Easily, give a warning.

"Wow, I get it"

Ms Ornas nodded in the way she perceived it.

She is obviously embezzling funds and food disbursed.

They're eating less food for the kids, or maybe they're selling it off and making it money.

It's not a coincidence that I'm here, it's how I understand what I'm suspected of. I guess that's all there is to be behind it.

And I know what it means to do what I did.

It's not just theft or embezzlement.

It afflicts innocent children.

But the children never looked to blame this Ms Onus.

I don't even have a kid who just wants to press charges here.

I guess that's because the kids understand and believe that this lady is still the only adult to rely on, rather than fear.

"... those are very good kids. He seems to admire the teacher very much. Take care of him."

"Ah, …………… yes"

She blushed so much that there was no more, nagging, and Ms Onus nodded deeply.

The kids didn't say anything after all.

I don't even know which kid is a girl named Leather, but he would still be happy to say that the thought did make sense.
