About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

"That's great, since we are friends, then Sasha, you must take good care of Ino, and don't let him do strange things."

Orson stretched out his hands and rubbed the hair of the two teenagers at the same time, and then advised the future Faust.

"Uh... um, okay?"

Sasha agreed in confusion. After all, normally, everyone would ask the quieter Ino to take care of the impulsive Sasha.

The time was delayed, and the children had already gone to rest in the tent due to sleepiness, and the flame of the bonfire in the center of the camp gradually weakened.

With the darkness gathering again, Orson suddenly thought of a question: Where should I sleep?

Orson glanced at the surrounding tents. Naturally, they already belonged, and it was impossible for him to poke his head in to see if there were any vacancies.

But sleeping outside can also be completely ignored. With the temperature in the north of Usas, if you sleep outside for a night, Orson may be able to use it to break boulders the next day.

"Brother Orson? You are here, because it is so inconspicuous. If it weren't for the chain, it would be really hard to find, ahaha!"

Just when Orson was struggling, an infected fighter found Orson.

"what happened?"

"Talulah asked me to inform you where you sleep tonight."

"Oh! I knew that Sister Tazi wouldn't be so heartless...!!"

For a moment, Orson really thought about whether he, who had witnessed Tallulah's coming out (in a physical sense), would be thrown outside and frozen dry by her, but it seemed that Sister Tazi was still YYDS.

"Because it was too late and there was no time to set up a new tent, Tallulah arranged the same tent for you."

"Same... account? That is to say, two people sleep together?"

Orson swallowed.

"Yeah, although I don't know why Talula doesn't seem to have a good impression of you, but it's not easy for her to make this move, and Frost Star probably won't be happy... Well, anyway, Orson, you Guy, it’s amazing to be able to encounter a scene that we haven’t seen in such a long time on the first day of coming here.”

The infected brother was talking to himself, while Orson on the other side started to jump like a deer.

——Do you sleep under the same roof with Frost Star or Tallulah?

----

----

The answer is Patriots...

Orson turned over slightly, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a huge guy sitting on a chair not far away, like a statue of a ghost, with a terrifying antler helmet on his head, swallowed silently, and turned over to the other side side.

"..."

——I can’t sleep at all! !

Surrounded by the big dad who integrated sports in the game, a living legend, no one has seen the real shield of Ursus, no matter how big-hearted Orson is, he can't sleep peacefully at this time.

Not only because of the physical coercion of the other party, but also because Orson can feel the deep and deafening [melody] like a cello from the patriot.

It's this feeling again... Is my brain out of order?

Orson still doesn't know what these [melody] represent, he just thinks if he is stupid.

——Anyway, it’s time to count Eyjafala!

Just when Orson was about to force himself into sleep, a deep voice came out.

"What is your goal, survivor."

The voice was so deep that Orson even thought it was the whistling wind and snow for a while, but he realized after a few seconds that it was the patriot asking himself.

"Uh, that...does it count if you live?"

Although he didn't know the other party's purpose, Orson could only bite the bullet and respond.

If he pretended to be asleep at this time, he would probably be tied to Daddy's spear by Quan Guo and become a satellite.

"Forget it, but you are different from those who seek to survive."

"Then, protect others?"

Orson noticed that the Patriots hadn't staccato in the way they spoke at this point.

"General, unable to stand. Who to protect, how to protect, how to protect, have you responded to these questions?"

Orson, who thought it was just a "chat before bed", was speechless when asked these questions by the Patriots.

And in the final analysis, where do I have the ability and position to protect others?

"Live first, survivor. That thing around your neck is not a decoration."

"……Ok, I know."

The chain and the collar around the neck are the proof that Tallulah and Frost Star can kill themselves at any time and are on guard.

target?

I, who have been in a daze since I came to this world, finally started to think about this matter.

I always feel that in the twilight, a girl once told herself that she was going to find an existence worth protecting.

girl... dandelion...

A sense of loss emerged.

"One more thing, keep in mind."

The Patriot's voice interrupted Orson.

"Please guide me, Mr. Patriot!"

Orson is seriously looking forward to what kind of life philosophy this living history of Ursas will provide to a stunned young man like himself.

"Don't touch my daughter."

"...Huh?" In the early morning——

People living in the northern border of Ursus are generally not woken up by the sun or an alarm clock during the day, but are simply awakened by the cold that can penetrate the bedding.

"Well……"

Orson crawled out of the sleeping bag, and while letting the familiar piercing bite wake up every cell in his body that hadn't woken up, he looked around in confusion.

The brain started to heat up slowly. After a while, Orson came back to his senses. This is no longer the village where he lived for half a year, but the stronghold of Tallulah and the gatherers. No wonder he didn’t see the bathroom

That terrifying cohabitant patriot has disappeared, probably because he was worried about Shuangxing's actions today, so he secretly followed him?On the contrary, there was a brand new set of toiletries on the table, which surprised Orson.

It seems that this settlement still trades items with other surrounding villages, so it must not be stolen.

Walking around yesterday gave Orson a general understanding of the situation in this settlement. Everyone is infected, and they gathered here because they were eating together or agreeing with Tallulah's ideas.Different from the period of the later integration movement, although these infected people are angry, they are not crazy.

After washing up, Orson recalled the conversation with the Patriots last night.

[Protecting others] This kind of goal is indeed too empty and unrealistic. If there is no real existence related to oneself, protecting others is just a fool without assertiveness.

Don't think about "what you can do for others", think about "what you should do for yourself".

Orson thought of Tallulah, Frost Star, Sashaino, and the Patriots.

I am afraid that the only one who knows the future fate of these people is myself.In other words, if there is anything in this world that can change the established destiny of these people, that person is only himself.

If Talula is changed, perhaps Qiecheng will not be destroyed, and tens of thousands of people will not die.

If Frost Star had been changed, perhaps she would not have died in the arms of the players with unwillingness and relief.

Had Faust and Mephisto been changed, the brothers might not have needed to go astray irreparably.

If the Patriots are changed... well, the old guy still has to start with his daughter.

And these "ifs", the only one who can turn them into reality is yourself.

Don't think "I'm supposed to protect these people" but think "It's something only I can do, and my conscience will be condemned if I stand by."

Only in this way, the goal will be more firm and obvious——

"Okay, it's decided! Let's not talk about Talula, let's start with Ino first! The little white hair who is as weak as a sufferer shouldn't be very difficult to train—ah."

"—"

Orson said that there is no problem in combining the context, but it is extremely weird to look at it alone.Unfortunately, the curtain at the entrance of the tent was lifted by Tallulah.

The two looked at each other briefly for two seconds:

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister Tazi!? I want it! I really want it!? Listen to me explain me, me, me, I am really not a pervert!!"

Tallulah swung her fiery fist, while Orson groaned and begged for mercy.

After being barely cooked to half-cooked, Orson was finally able to talk to Tallulah who had calmed down.

It can't be said to be "normal", after all, the two have experienced the "my wife..." incident and the closet incident, and their relationship at this time is very strange.

The strangeness here is not the kind of "more than friends but not full of lovers", but the strangeness of "it is not surprising to be punched through the chest by Tallulah suddenly while walking".

After the initial uproar, Tallulah didn't show any abnormality towards Orson. The two just chatted about the camp infrastructure, including whether they got used to the personality of the people around them.

During the awkward chat between the two, several infected people also came over to talk to Tallulah.

"Talulah, didn't you go out today?"

"Well, I sometimes take a little vacation, how about you?"

"See if you caught anything in the previous trap, then let's talk first, Brother Orson, make a good transformation and try to be a human again soon!"

"I thank you."

Orson, the prisoner's servant, expressed his gratitude kindly.

Tallulah even laughs and jokes when talking to other people. This appearance is completely different from the Tallulah in Orson's memory from chapters 1 to 7.

But the most important thing is not Tallulah's uncharacteristic kindness, but the looming [noise] behind this affinity.

Although he still doesn't know what these "melody" means, Orson has gradually understood that these melodies may reflect the singer's own state of mind.

So... What does the sound of the zither strings that I feel at this time, which seems to be tense and about to break, mean exactly?

The strings that may break at any time, the harsh and dissonant noise hidden in the rhythm, these melodies all show that the girl in military uniform in front of me may not be as calm as she looks on the outside.Rather, she was probably on the verge of collapse.

"That's the end of the chat. Don't act out of line. Sasha and Eno think highly of you. Keep working hard."

Talula finished the conversation and was about to leave. Looking at the back of the dragon girl in front of her, Orson took a deep breath...

"Well, I don't have anything to do now anyway, can we act together—ahhh!?"
