Brad: "With such strength at this age, the kid now is really scary. If his physical limit were further away, I'm afraid his combat power alone would be enough to rival you and me, Pask."
p>
Pask: "Ah...yeah."
Brad's eyes glanced at the sleeping Lehman, but he also clearly noticed Pask's gradually slowing down. He followed him in two steps without hesitation. In his parallel peripheral vision, he noticed that Pask was a little sluggish and thinking about something.
Eyes.
Brad narrowed his eyes slightly and then looked away and said to himself.
"You're still the same, don't worry about it. Haven't we come to the conclusion a long time ago? There is always a limit to walking alone. Sooner or later you will send him out, right? Besides, the problem has been solved very well now, you are still here
So what are you struggling with? Pask."
Pask glanced at Brad beside him but didn't care at all about the old conclusion in his mouth. He just sighed softly and said
"Brad, you are still the same, but the boring truth can be stopped. Because he was not sent out by me at all, he ran out on his own. In fact, I didn't really know the limits of this child until just now. You
Do you know what this means?"
Brad was a little disappointed and put away his preaching state, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
"Besides being gifted, I don't know what else it means."
Pask smiled bitterly.
"That's true, but more importantly, his mind is not like that of a child. If it hadn't been for last night... I don't think he would have wanted to show this ability now, and none of us would have discovered it. And...
."
As Pask said this, he inadvertently remembered the brief confrontation in the restaurant and sighed deeply.
At this moment, he didn't have any doubts about Lehman, because the emotions and actions he showed were enough to prove a lot of things in Pask's mind.
He just felt sad for Lehman, because in his memory, the orphanage as a child was the most beautiful past. It was also the anchor that allowed him to walk in the dark side for many years. Whenever he returned here again, he could always find it.
The beauty of the past gave me reason to believe in the paradise of peaceful existence in this crazy world.
But Lehman is different now. He woke up so early that he may have missed the only pure sunshine in his life.
Brad: "Last night?? And what?? Can you stop showing off like this all the time? Wouldn't it be a good thing to be thankful for maturing earlier?"
Pask looked at Brad's free-spirited expression. Jealousy flowed quietly from his eyes. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the orphanage.
"No, I'm afraid this is more like a curse for him, a curse that will be difficult to remove throughout his life."
............
The setting sun quietly climbed onto Lehman's face through the simple window. The gentleness of the remaining light awakened his soul that had been sleeping for some time. Lehman opened his eyes and noticed Ada sitting beside him, quietly knitting something. "Sister Ada, is Max okay..."
Ada chuckled, stopped knitting, and pointed to the bed next to Lehman.
"Don't worry, he sleeps more than you do."
Lehman turned his head and looked at Max's calm face, but he couldn't calm down the body's emotions. He knew that rescuing Max didn't mean the end. He was probably no longer able to stay here like himself.
p>
It's just that Lehman doesn't know exactly where he will go. After all, it's not something he can decide, but he has a bad premonition, and the only way now is to ask Pask and the others.
Amidst the long and leisurely chirping of birds, Lehman sat up. Although there was still a slight sense of fatigue in his body, he still had something to do, or it was something that this body drove him to do...<
/p>
Ada: "Are you going to find Teacher Catherine?"
Lehman's eyes flashed slightly, a little surprised at Ada's words, but he was quickly relieved. I'm afraid that the posture he showed during the day had been interpreted, and it was normal for him to guess his purpose.
"Yes, Sister Ada."
Ada's fingertips trembled slightly, tears fell from her eyes, and she shook her head gently.
"Lehman, maybe I'm not worthy of being your sister. I don't understand why you went to find the teacher. This is just a message left by Uncle Pask, saying that you will go find them when you wake up. I have been by your side all the time.
But I have never really understood... Whether it's you or Max... I'm sorry, Lehman... I'm really... very... sorry."
The forest still echoed with the familiar bird calls in his memory. When Lehman looked at Ada, another familiar figure slowly emerged in his mind------Osman Wendy.
Familiar and unfamiliar memories collided with emotions and echoed in his body.
Flashing in the glow are the tears quietly falling from the corners of Lehman's eyes, and what appears on his face is the purest smile. It is the purest and sweetest when a child lets his thoughts go. It is the smile that can truly be defined as joy and happiness. This is this body
The secret hidden in the deepest part of the soul.
That little happiness.
Lehman shook his head and habitually stretched out his hand to gently comb Ada's hair.
"No, I have already obtained the most precious thing, and you have long since become my irreplaceable family, Sister Ada."
Ada listened to the words in her ears, slowly raised her head to look into Leman's eyes and wanted to say something, but then she stopped, lowered her head, pointed in the direction of the door, and gave the order to drive away.
Lehman looked back at Teacher Katherine who was standing quietly by the door. He stood up without stopping and left his last whisper.
"Thank you, Sister Ada."
.............
There were still figures of children running and playing in the corridor, wandering around Katherine and Lehman, until they reached the office door. Katherine did not open the door immediately but looked back at the children who were playing and then returned.
He turned to look at Lehman and said softly
"Lehman, you are the smartest kid I have ever seen. I think you should understand the source of this incident."
"Well, it was my selfish concealment that harmed Max."
Catherine sighed deeply but smiled again, and lightly flicked Lehman's forehead
"I want to take back the praise I just gave you. You are not as smart as I thought."
Lehman's unusual smile revealed his artificial disappointment.
"Eh~~~~"
Catherine gently poked Lehman's cheek again and added.
"Listen up Lehman, we are all protecting every member of this big family in our own way, and your behavior itself is not wrong, but please don't forget that we are all the same.
If one day you are in danger, I am willing to save you for the slightest possibility. You are not alone, child. If you really encounter anything, speak up and we will always be by your side."

After saying that, Catherine did not hesitate any longer, patted Lehman on the head to revive his somewhat dazed mood, turned around and opened the office door.
