Holding the hem of her skirt unnaturally with her hands, [the girl] lowered her head and walked slowly and uneasily on campus - side by side with Instructor Isabel.
You shouldn't have run back to your room again, knowing that once you go back, there will be no reason to refuse.
[Girl]'s mood at this time was extremely complicated.
"If you can't walk at this level, it might be very difficult next time, right?"
Instructor Isabel's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of [Girl], and [Girl] even felt a slight bite on her earlobe, a numbing sensation on her scalp like an electric shock, which was rapidly draining [Girl] of her strength.
"Until evening, your task is to remain active within the academy in your current posture." Instructor Isabel narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You are not allowed to hide on purpose, and you must walk openly. Moreover, you must not make people suspicious. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.
The person who becomes bad is yourself, do you understand... Dashu."
"I know...I know."
The answer seemed to have exhausted the remaining strength of the [Girl]... The [Girl] was almost desperate, watching helplessly as the Isabel mentor quietly left.
[Girl]... Dashu raised his eyes at this time and looked around him.
Perhaps we should be thankful that because of the float parade, most of the students were temporarily out. At this time, [Free City Academy] seemed unusually deserted.
The girl in women's clothing took a deep breath to calm down her emotions.
You can't hide deliberately, so you can only hide in some areas where there are usually few student activities - places where there are usually few student activities, there are naturally fewer people today.
This is not a deliberate hiding.
The boy dressed as a woman thought quickly - he had already thought of a suitable place.
…
…
…
…
Just like [Rose Mansion], a building with an old history, [Liberty City] still retains some old buildings despite its high degree of urbanization.
[Free City] There is no distinction between rich areas and slum areas.
But there is a division between the new town and the old town - compared with the new town on the float parade route, the old town at this time seems much deserted.
Everyone went to watch the fun. After all, it was a rare event.
In the attic of a three-story building, a pair of small eyes were pressed against the glass, looking at the street below... The small eyes always revealed the desire to go out.
Suddenly, a small figure came into the sight of these small eyes.
"Kelly is back!"
The little-eyed owner jumped up with a kick and hurriedly ran down from the attic.
This is a big family... We are all children who have lost their loved ones and were adopted in this place - children are generally not allowed to go out.
Sister Celine, who is in charge of this big family, is a very strict elder. Children who disobey will be locked up.
Soon, the owner with small eyes came to the back door of the house. When no one was paying attention, the owner with small eyes quickly stood up on tiptoes and unlocked the door.
Then soon, a small figure ducked in from the opened door.
"Diona!"
"Kelly! Why did you come back just now! Sister Celine came here several times, but I always thought you had a stomachache and were in the bathroom! Did you find something to eat?"
"Sorry, I do not have it."
The two little girls quickly discussed how to deal with the stern Sister Celine later. But the goddess of luck obviously did not favor these two little girls.
The moment they turned around, there was someone waiting for them at the end of the corridor.
"Serien Xiu, nun..." The little girl named Keli lowered her head and grabbed the hat on her head, as if trying to cover herself.
As for the other little girl, Diona, she froze on the spot at a loss.
In addition to the necessary sternness, Sister Celine is actually a quite delicate woman, and she also has this proud figure under her black robe.
The cross necklace she wore on her chest was swinging - at this time, Sister Celine was walking towards the two little girls expressionlessly.
"I said." The nun's voice was quite calm, "You can't leave this house without my permission... So, who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice this time?"
"it's me!"
Kelly and Diona looked at each other and said almost in unison.
"Then it will be regarded as a joint crime." Sister Selien directly grabbed the two children's back collars with one hand and lifted them up. "Order, everything needs order. You have destroyed the order here.
.No matter what the reason is, you must be responsible for the fault of disrupting order."
They did not dare to resist, and they just hoped that the time they would be locked up this time would not be too long.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Keli subconsciously raised her head and saw a look of caution on Sister Selien's eyebrows... The nun quickly put them down and motioned for the two children to hide behind her.
The knock was also on the back door of the house - historically, few people would knock on the front door of this house, let alone the back door.
"who is it?"
The nun did not choose to open the door, but directly asked through the door.
"Is Miss Kelly here? She left something on the road and we brought it back."
Listening to the answer outside the door, Sister Selien was startled for a moment, and then looked sharply at Keli who was hiding behind her... But the little girl Keli opened her mouth at this time.
She recognized the owner of the voice outside the door!
The big brother who scared me in the alley...how did he get here?
…
The moment she opened the door, Sister Selien saw a man and a woman, both of whom were very clean people. She frowned: "You said that Keli left something outside?"
"That's it." The young man... Boss Luo smiled slightly at this time, "Some food."
"bread!"
Diona, who was hiding behind Sister Celine, screamed quickly - she could already smell the aroma coming from the bread.
She was almost drooling and put her fingers gently to her lips.
Keli could not help but tremble as if she had encountered something terrible.
As expected, Sister Celine did not take the bag. Instead, she frowned and said, "Although I am very grateful to you for sending the things back, as far as I know, Keli should not be able to pay for the food."
At this time, Boss Luo said as if he was pointing out something: "Miss Sister, you just said that you are unable to pay."
Sister Selien said with a calm expression: "Kelly has not reached the age of prayer yet, and has not learned formal prayer... Isn't it strange that she has no ability to pay."
"The owner of the bakery gave it to her." Boss Luo smiled casually and said, "Probably because it is a discount product that cannot be sold."
Sister Selien looked at Keli and said thoughtfully: "Is it what this gentleman said? Keli, answer me."
"Yes...yes." The little girl Keli didn't dare to look at the nun, she lowered her head and didn't respond.
Sister Selien breathed out slowly. She looked at Boss Luo again and said seriously: "Sir, thank you again for sending the things... There is no doubt that we will need these supplies. But here, no
There should be lies."
"Lie?" Boss Luo shook his head and said: "I think if it was a lie, the bakery owner would not watch this bag being filled and do nothing... We should trust adults.
Observation."
Sister Celine was silent.
It's not like things like this have never happened... Keli has brought back food more than once, and every time it's bread. The bread tastes the same, and it obviously comes from the same place.
She didn't want it to be theft, but she couldn't think of any other possibility besides theft - however, as the young man said, if it wasn't acquiescence, it would be too underestimated for the observation ability of adults.
.
"You guys, please come in first." Sister Celine said with a sigh.
…
…
The inside and outside are the same. How dilapidated the exterior wall of the house is, the inside of the house will match... In the simple hall of the house, Sister Celine poured two glasses of water for reception.
At the doorway outside the living room, in addition to Kelly and Diona, there were several other young faces... They hid behind the wall together, stuck their heads out, and opened their eyes to look around.
Sister Celine glared directly, and then closed the door tightly, which seemed to frighten the children... But they did not disperse, but gathered in the corridor outside the door, talking among themselves.
Sister Selien shook her head, looked at Boss Luo and the maid who came in, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry."
"Is this a welfare institution?" Boss Luo asked casually.
Sister Celine nodded.
Boss Luo curiously asked: "Since it is a welfare institution, why is it just an inconspicuous sign at the back door?"
Sister Selien sat down and said helplessly: "Because we haven't yet obtained the certificate of the site where we are allowed to operate... Without official permission, it probably won't work, right?"
"Isn't it good to raise donations from the society?"
Sister Celine nodded slightly.
Boss Luo said: "[Free City] should have enough welfare institutions that can accept these children... Don't you think it's strange to have such persistence?"
Sister Selien remained silent, and even looked at Boss Luo and the maid lady at this moment, as if with a hint of ill-intention and... determination.
"That's because these children have reasons why they cannot be officially registered."
In the living room, a voice answered like this - but the person who answered was not Sister Celine.
The source of the sound was from the window of the living room... I saw a figure. At this time, I pressed the window sill, turned over and jumped in - but it got hooked on the wooden bar.
What was supposed to be a handsome appearance suddenly turned into a hit.
Sister Celine hurriedly ran over, helped the guy who fell on the street up, and asked with concern: "Mr. Azaches! How are you? I told you not to climb through the window next time.
You have to pounce every time!"
"..."
I, Asaches, one of the most famous handsome men in [Free City Academy], am going to lose face?!
…
…
"You...don't you think it's me who appears unexpectedly?"
Sister Celine supported Mr. Azaches who came to the table. At this time, she pinched her nose and rubbed it gently.
Boss Luo smiled casually at this time and said: "Probably because I have encountered a lot of strange things in the past few days, I have somewhat adapted to the current situation."
Mr. Asaches smiled bitterly, "I think it's because nothing can surprise you right now."
"You...know each other?" Sister Selien couldn't help but open her mouth at this time.
"These two are residents of my mansion." Mr. Azashes said directly: "Let me greet them... Selien, you go take care of the children. I just brought some ingredients and put them on the table.
Outside the window."
"Okay." After a slight hesitation, Sister Celine quickly agreed.
…
After sitting down again, Boss Luo also explained the reason why he came back here.
"It's all my fault." Mr. Asaches shook his head and said, "I've been delayed these past few days, and I haven't sent food for a long time...otherwise, Keli wouldn't have slipped out. Fortunately, there was no trouble."
"Mr. Asaches has always supported this welfare institution?" Boss Luo asked curiously.
I saw Mr. Asaches saying seriously at this time: "Let me introduce myself. In addition to being the owner of [Rose Mansion], I am also the director of this informal welfare institution."
The maid said calmly at this time: "Since the dean is Mr. Asaches, based on your relationship with several important people in [Free City], it should not be difficult to obtain a business license."
Mr. Asaches shook his head and said: "You can't bring this matter to Durand, that guy is too upright... Moreover, even the guy who is the campus president is not easy to come forward."
"Because of these children?" Boss Luo answered.
Mr. Asaches nodded and said: "These children, outside, may be called heretics. They are born unable to activate the destiny system, and they will not be able to pray in the future. Regarding the attitude of heretics, Qidu basically
Everything is unified... Probably, only [Freedom City] will be a little more relaxed, but it's not much better."
"Mr. Asaches, you have been taking in these children." Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will implicate yourself?"
Asaxes smiled calmly and said: "How should I put it? Although it is a bit shameless, at least I can be regarded as carrying the title of a descendant of the [Father of Saints]. I don't think the big men who come to the Public Security Bureau will really send me to the police station."
Probably burned at the stake."
"The saint probably never thought of granting such a privilege," the maid said abruptly.
Azaches smiled bitterly, "I don't know if you have such a privilege when you fall to the ground. What I know is...even a saint can't just watch these children who haven't really seen the world.
Being purified for no reason. If you are defined as a heretic just because you are born unable to activate the destiny system, I really cannot agree with such a belief."
The maid said calmly: "These are the rules set by the saints. Mr. Asaches seems to be planning to challenge the rules."
"Challenge?"
Asaxes met the eyes of Miss Youye.
He was still very afraid of Miss Youye's stern gaze, and he even couldn't help but tremble in his heart... His eyes seemed a little dazed, but he soon regained consciousness.
Asaches shook his head and said: "Nothing is unchallenged. The heart of freedom should not be restrained, especially the chaotic wind, and it should be stopped."
"So, you think the holy rules are wrong?" the maid asked expressionlessly.
"Yes." This time Mr. Asaches responded directly without any hesitation.
Then……
——Maya, the look in Miss Youye’s eyes is so terrifying, it scares me to death...
Mr. Assassis was actually quite panicked.
"Perhaps this kind of holy rule has been waiting for someone to challenge it since it was established."
But what surprised Asaxes was that Miss Youye said something like this in the end.
