"Can Youre read, write, or compute?

"I can handle it as long as I read it as computation...... But I can only write my own name."

"Really? Then you can't have Yua's party, except Yua."

"Huh? Well, yeah..."

I knew it...... Well, it's because you have that personality and you don't seem to study or anything.

"That doesn't raise your rank because, after all, you don't have enough strength, right?

"I think maybe so"

I knew this kid was the only decent one in that party. But I don't see why you're being treated as badly as you did earlier. That, then, just seems like you're hitting eight......

"How can those people treat Yua clutterfully when Yua is the only one who knows what the request is or how to calculate it?

Yua's complexion became a little cloudy when she asked Yua what she doubted so much.

"It's..."

Yua said that and was a little awkward to do so. Apparently I have something on my mind. Is that why you're being treated like that? But as far as how they're doing, they just seem to be bullying me. Or I also feel like I'm using Yua as a pawn to make money...... And Yua told me why she thought that.

"... maybe, but I just think it has something to do with not being in an orphanage from the beginning."

"That's..."

"Yeah. My parents aren't suddenly dead..."

Then according to what Yua told me, my parents died when Yua was five.

Until then, if you live with your parents and say that they taught you how to read, write, and calculate at that time, they say you can't write well except by your own name because they taught you a little before your parents died.

Because at the end of the day with my parents, they said they were going shopping in the city and didn't come back. Anything. He said a riding carriage with his parents was attacked by bandits and several people died. The bandit didn't hear him say that he was shot just because he was injured, apparently retreating along the way. Yua said she was kept in an orphanage after that.

They only have ten orphanages, even if they add up party members. The rest of the group, they all seem to be little. Even the biggest one, the youngest one at the age of seven, seems to be three. Youre said he didn't think he was very close to the members who were partying, but the other kids.

I asked Yua how she became an adventurer, wondering if that had happened.

"How did Youre become an adventurer?

"... At first, I wasn't thinking about being an adventurer. I said I'd be an adventurer, and three of my party members, Onoma, Brat and Mendez, would work for the orphanage. Is that one of the reasons you became an adventurer later? In the first place, nobody believed why they said they were going to be adventurers, but hey? Besides, I didn't think the Dean would allow that, but the Dean did. At first, we were all surprised, but they disappeared, and inside the orphanage, we were at peace."

"? Does that mean there was something wrong inside the orphanage?

"Yeah. I've had a lot of trouble with little kids stealing people's stuff and eating it. It was like that when I first came here. Most of them were only targeted by a few people, so everyone else was sharing and eating together. I told the dean about it, and the dean seemed to have no idea. He was angry with the kids and missed his meal time. That allowed us all to eat properly, but he noticed what I said to the Dean, and he slapped me or kicked me. But it gradually started to reach the younger kids, and when I came in to stop it, it was just me. But that helped protect the other kids.

I told them one day they were going to be adventurers. I don't do that for the orphanage or for any reason from us who say a lot but know how they usually are. I thought the Dean thought that being adventurers would reduce the number of children in orphanages, so he gave them permission. "

I heard about that. I mean, is the dean really nice? And I wondered a little bit. I knew you were bullying me, but didn't you try to stop me? Because I thought so.

"Is the Dean kind?

"The Dean is sweet. 'Cause you make money doing other jobs to feed us, you buy ingredients with that money, you make rice."

Could it be that the dean is too busy at work to take good care of the kids? Well, maybe I can't help thinking that, but it's probably not a mistake to say that the dean is kind.

"Dean, are you a kind man?

"Yeah......"

She nodded a little lonely when I heard that. Do you miss the dean because he's too busy to see you much? And that's what I thought.
