Although the Pokémon world is harmonious, there will still be "accidents" and... "some irresponsible people", so there are also orphanages - an institution that Eminem is very familiar with!
Eminem was very good at volunteering in orphanages, so he immediately agreed. It happened that Eminem wanted to search both the orphanage here and the cemetery next to it.
Playing with children or something like that, Picosi should be able to do it, right? At least... just let it be in front of the children and don't use bad words!
When the old lady heard that Picoxi was not only cute, but also a fairy, her eyes immediately lit up and she directly allowed him to stay overnight - anyway, there were many empty rooms, and even if the conditions were worse, she could still make do with it for one night.
Eminem thought that this place was quite far away from the city, so he did not refuse.
Seeing that the old lady seemed to be the director of the garden, Amu asked with some confusion: "You... don't you have any funding from Jinhuang City?"
Isn't it the Black Orphanage?
"Those guys... hum! Yes, there are some, but not many!" The old lady said with some annoyance in her tone.
It is true that this orphanage usually has financial allocations from Jinhuang City. However, due to some reasons, the director...that is, the old lady in front of Eminem, and the alliance personnel in Jinhuang City had some conflicts, which resulted in the orphanage being closed.
Only basic allocation.
You can't be hungry, but for many things, the old dean has to raise money himself!
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
At this time, I seemed to hear the sound from the door, and saw a young woman in a coat walking over with a lamp - Eminem could tell that there must be problems with the circuits of this old house.
.
Moreover, this kind of old-fashioned houses are relatively common in small towns. If placed in Jinhuang City... even on the outskirts of the city, they look a bit eye-catching.
"Lala, you came just in time, find him an empty room, and then he will have to serve as a volunteer for three days." The old lady said to the girl.
"Eh? Grandma, you won't deceive others again, right?" Lala frowned.
"Of course not! He did it voluntarily... right?" the old lady said and looked at Eminem.
"Ah? Ah... I am actually an orphan too. If there is an orphanage that needs help, I can contribute." Eminem also saw that there might be some "small problems" here.
Hearing that Eminem was also an orphan, Lala looked at him with a more kind look - Eminem, who knew orphans well, could confirm from this look alone that this was also an orphan and not the old lady's biological granddaughter!
When Lala brought Eminem to the second floor, Eminem couldn't help but ask: "Miss Lala, is there any difficulty in this orphanage...?"
"You can just call me Lala. It's actually not difficult. It's just that grandma is a little...well, stubborn." Lala used a word that was as neutral as possible.
In fact, starting half a year ago, the alliance department of Jinhuang City wanted to expropriate this land, but the dean's grandmother refused.
"Although the people from the alliance have promised to use other houses in the city as replacements, there will be additional compensation, and the children will also be sent to the unified welfare home in the city... But grandma is still worried, and she still talks to the people from the alliance
We had a fight." Lara said helplessly.
The result is……
Others are not ungrateful, and the funding for orphanages has been reduced a lot.
"Then you can't force the director to submit like this!" Eminem's position was very clear - he was on the side of the orphanage, and all other principles had to be put aside.
But in fact, this orphanage was not an official institution at first, but an orphanage run by the old director himself after his husband passed away when he was young. He spent all his family wealth.
It was only in the past decade or so that Jinhuang City began to need funding because it was struggling to make ends meet.
Although Jinhuang City has its own official welfare home, this orphanage has been an important private supplement for a long time.
Now Jinhuang City is willing to take over the entire project, but the old lady is stubborn and believes that the alliance's welfare home has no "love".
"But grandma has softened a lot now! Although she is still reluctant, as long as she reaches school age, she will ask the alliance to send her children to boarding schools, and there will be no more new children sent... In two or three years,
If there are no children to take care of here, grandma will agree to sign and move away."
Lala also explained a little more for the old dean.
After hearing this, Eminem was relieved. At the same time, he felt that although the old lady was stubborn, she was still a good person. She must have used part of the compensation in exchange for the union to pay for tuition and living expenses.
Otherwise, even the Quartz Alliance can only provide basic protection.
"What is the alliance going to build? Will the cemetery next to it also be moved?" Ammu asked one more question smoothly.
"It's just to expand the mixed cemetery of Pokémon and humans..." Lara replied.
slim Shady:……
"Next door... is the cemetery built by the Alliance?" Eminem felt like he was being swayed.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lala asked doubtfully.
"Nothing..." Eminem thought of the old lady's cleverness, and shook his head angrily and amusedly, but did not expose her.
Lala may have guessed something, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, grandma, she is always very... um, concerned about the orphanage. Before, even when the Golden Gym wanted to acquire the land here, grandma didn't
Refused."
Lala was just giving an example - even "The Devil" refused, which sounds very determined.
After hearing this, Ammu thought that Natsu's gym was in the former Uchiha clan's place. So... she wanted to acquire a place "suspected of Nanga Shrine". Is it really just a coincidence?
Immediately, Eminem shook her head again - she hadn't even written her horoscope yet, and she didn't even know if this was Nanga Shrine... It was too early to think about this!
"You have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow...just let the Pokémon play with the children!" Lala took Eminem to an empty bedroom.
It was so empty that there was only one bed with a thin quilt.
After Eminem came down, he said "good night" to Lala, then lay on the bed and sent a message to Xiaoxia.
It seemed that she, Sonoko and others were having a good time - their mood was not ruined by two murders...
Surprisingly, I haven't slept yet, so I responded to the video call on the spot.
"What's going on? What kind of volunteer work do you want to do suddenly?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion.
"This orphanage seems to be in some difficulties..." Eminem explained simply, without saying that he had been deceived.
"Okay, anyway, Heiji and Conan are going to investigate the case, and we girls happen to be playing together... When we go to Terminus Park the day after tomorrow, we will stop by to see you." Xiaoxia also knows about Eminem's life experience, and knows that he is there too.
Having lived in an orphanage for more than ten years, I didn’t say much when I heard Eminem say this.
Now Heiji, the host, is completely busy solving the case, and Conan is also being taken around by him. At this time, Eminem suddenly has to "do three days of volunteer work", which does not mean it will delay everyone's travel.
It just so happens that the girls' group also has more girls' topics to talk about...
"Are there any new findings in the case?" Ammu asked specifically.
If the case has been solved and the treasure is confirmed, then Eminem doesn't need to worry about the treasure and can just concentrate on volunteering.
"No, that 'whirlpool' didn't know why. He just choked on the water and the trauma was not serious, but he never woke up..." Xiaoxia's tone was also a little confused.
It seems that the "Ninja Village Tour Group Incident" in the Pokémon world is more complicated and will not be resolved in one night.
