... live free!

Lumia roamed around the entrance as she entered the orphanage.

"Lumia, what's wrong?

Yes, when I spoke to Lumia, I looked up at her and was surprised at me.

"Huh? Mr. Lena, are you back yet?

"Well, yes..."

Could it have been too soon to get back from the orphanage? I thought I should get back early, so I came back early... And I'm also a little concerned that the way I call it is tough.

"... has Mr. Lena really been handling his injuries?

"Well, it's easy, but you did, didn't you?

"Really?"

Lumia came looking at this one with a slightly suspicious look, but she's been treated properly, so no problem,... should be.

"Ugh, yeah. And I've been wondering about that for a while, but you don't have to call me that, do you? Because it feels a little weird when they call me that even though I'm close to my age..."

"Well, that's the benefactor who helped me..."

"You don't have to worry about that much. I want you to call me more comfortable, like Youre."

"Wow, okay.... Lena, honey"

Lumia called me by the name just like Yua, shy of me.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you, huh? Lumia?"

"Yes!

After I heard Lumia's reply, I was led to the room where Yua and the others were waiting.

Then Lumia took me to that room, but the orphanage surprised me unexpectedly in a big building.

I've heard that orphanages are in trouble because they don't have any money, but can they keep a house this big? Besides, the Dean was killed there... And thinking about it, Lumia opened the door to the room. And when they followed in after Lumia, they realized about me.

"Lena..."

"I'm back..."

"" Welcome home?

Then when I thought Yua and Flora gave me a reassuring look that I was here, Lili and Lara somehow said, "Welcome home? I came to say."

"Ugh, yeah?

I replied vaguely, not knowing how to reply.

Then when I approached Youre, I whispered back to the orphanage to hear about it.

"Did you tell him anything while I was gone?

When I heard that, Yua shook her head sideways somewhat unexpectedly. You haven't been able to talk yet... I thought so, but isn't Lili and Lara in that bad relationship because they're sitting near Yua? The cute belly sound of 'guh' rang when I was thinking about it. Whose stomach rang? I thought, Lili and Lara were doing their hands on my stomach with a slightly red face.

"... are you hungry?

When they heard that, they nodded.

"Then why don't we just have dinner?

"Huh? Are you sure?

"There's not much food, is there?

"It's okay, just tell me where the kitchen is?

Yes, when I told Lumia, Lumia looked troubled.

"Ugh, yeah. But the ingredients..."

'Cause it's okay.

That's what I said. I asked Lumia to guide me to the kitchen and told Lumia to rest in her room when she told me where the tools and ingredients were. Then I was a little reluctant, but I decided to make sure I left the kitchen behind and start cooking rice, anxious to say it was because I would ask you to help me when I had dinner.
