“You’re here, director.” Said the orphanage staff member lady in a respectful manner.
“Mhm, hm? Isn’t this Miss Sha? Did you take some time off to visit us? We’re honored by your presence.” The kind and benevolent-looking elderly smiled.
“Oh, I’m sorry to trouble you, director.” Lil’ Sha hurriedly climbed down from Ji Bai’s body and took on a more dignified posture.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Haha, young people these days are very energetic after all. And this person is...?” The elderly’s beaming eyes turned towards the tin-helmeted Ji Bai.
“Oh, he’s Ji Bai, one of my friends.”
Ji Bai just remained silent.
“Oh, a friend?” The elderly revealed a meaningful smile as he stared at the pair.
“He’s just an ordinary friend! Don’t read too much into it, director!”
“Oh...Alright, alright... Are you here to look for Xiao’an today, Miss Sha? Unfortunately, that child has fallen ill.” A trace of regret aptly revealed itself on the elderly’s face.
“Can you let me in to see her?” Lil’ Sha continued with a somewhat pleading gaze in her eyes.
“Of course you can. Remember this, Lei. This lady is the biggest benefactor of our social service agency. It’s no problem if she occasionally visits for a meal and plays with the kids.”
“Yes, director.”
“Thank you, director! ...Want to come along, obscene middle-aged man? It’s almost time to eat~ ...Hmph! It’s not like I want you to accompany me or anything~! Just suit yourself.”
Ji Bai pondered for a moment before he followed Lil’ Sha.
After all, he had nothing else to do at this time, didn’t he?
“So... Why did you bring such a dangerous thing inside the orphanage! What if the kids see it?”
“I’ll hide it well.” Ji Bai took out a sack and wrapped it around his longsword in a safe manner.
“When will that wooden brain of yours become a bit more normal?”
“This is the duty of a knight.”
“You...”
“Hehe, the two of you seem to be pretty close.” The orphanage head gave a friendly smile as he walked ahead of them.
“No way!”
“More or less.”
Seeing the reaction of the two behind him, the orphanage head elder smiled and continued to lead the way.
“Oh, so Mr. Ji Bai is referring to that matter... We’ve already reported it to the public security bureau, I believe they’ll give us a fair explanation in time.” As he said this, the elderly’s expression darkened.
“Director, that boy seems to be quite a good runner. He should have a pretty good physique.” These cryptic words of Ji Bai caused Lil’ Sha to feel somewhat at a loss.
“Oh, you’re talking about him. He’s always been energetic, so his physique is naturally better than other kids’.”
“Mhm, he has the talent for becoming a knight.”
“Oh? Is that so? Hahaha, that’s truly extraordinary talent.”
“...” Ji Bai stared at the orphanage head’s back as he gradually departed.
“Obscene middle-aged man, your cringe-worthy conversation skills are truly second to none.” Ridiculed Lil’ Sha.
“Is that so?”
“That reminds me. Xiao’an, how’s your cold?? Are you feeling a bit better?”
“I...Mhm, sort of.” Xiao’an wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes were somewhat at a loss as she nodded.
“Are you really better? If you’re still feeling chilly, big sister will go out and get some medicine...”
“Uuu~ Big sister Sha, I-, I-...” A trace of helplessness flashed past Xiao’an’s eyes as she tightly hugged Lil’ Sha and refused to let go.
“It seems like you’ve something to say.” Ji Bai squatted down.
“I...”
“Obscene middle-aged man, your appearance is frightening Xiao’an.” Lil’ Sha rebuked him.
“...Big brother, a-are you a knight?” A hint of hope briefly showed itself in Xiao’an gaze as she shyly looked at the squatting Ji Bai.
“That’s right.”
“The heroes that specialize in getting rid of monsters and baddies??”
“You can think of it that way.”
“T-Then... No matter what type of monster there is, can you kill them?”
“As long as you’re able to point them out to me.”
Xiao’an lowered her head, seemingly in a struggle before she eventually made up her mind and raised it back up.
“Big brother knight, I-...”
“Sorry for interrupting you, it’s time for lunch. Will the two of you stay here to accompany the children in their meal?” The elderly orphanage head walked towards them with an amiable expression while beamingly looking at Lil’ Sha.
“Is that so? I’ll have to trouble you then, Director.”
“...Mhm.” After looking at Xiao’an for a moment, Ji Bai let out an unclear and muffled sound.
“That’s great! I guess Xiao’an and the other kids will be very happy.”
