Chapter 45
Tea party with a crybaby
To Hal, who kind of lost his shoulder strength, Shaw said, moping.
“Let’s try something else. Slime removal or something.”
“Does that hurt?
Yes, Hal was scared. When I said it, the grownups all looked like something was hurting. Shaw waved his finger a little,
“You take it so it doesn’t hurt. If you take one, sell it and buy sweets.”
“It’s a penny!
“Become. You can make money like this.”
Shaw asked Dredd this when he looked naughty.
“Wouldn’t the Mage Guild buy out the slime?
“I’ll buy it out, but not many young people make a lot of money.”
“Really? If you’re a magician, you don’t have to use a stick to take him down.”
“I have control. Simply because the magic of fire can only take poor quality demon stones.”
“I think Michal would be fine.”
Shaw turned to Hull.
“Hey, little, hot fire magic, you can hit it.”
“Ugh, yeah.”
Hal looked at what happened to it. Dredd told the little one to tell him.
“Hal, I would have been taught to shoot big, powerful magic. Small, exquisite magic is hard for adults.”
“Really? When I was shooting all the big magic, I ran out of magic and the demons attacked me and I got mad, so I tried my best to be efficient.”
In the words of Hull, the adults looked painful again. But Shaw,
“I know. Efficiency is important! I devised the magic to cool the water in the first years.”
I said proudly. Hal blinked.
“Oh, can you do that?
“It’s easy. Because I’ll tell you on the way back to Deep Forest. We can all use it in the deep woods, so they say we can’t do it even though we’re magicians.”
“On my way back to Deep Forest?
“Yeah. I’m here to pick you up”
Shaw said like it was nothing. Hal shook his lips slightly when he was confused for a moment.
“Am I going, too?
“Yeah. You said you’d pick me up if it was hard. Isn’t that hard?
“… tough”
It was so small that I could hear it or not.
“Then let’s go. I have one extra room.”
“But what about our guy?
“Oh. I’m fine. Falco?”
Falco raised his cup of tea to show.
“They make me work.”
“No more. Because you don’t clean properly, do you? Leon?”
“Whatever you want, you can stay in the room with me, okay?
I heard a voice behind me.
“Hiya?
“Hiya, you”
Leon is laughing at me on the back.
“You can be my foster parent.”
“A foster parent?
I think Hal has never heard of it before.
“Some children have no parents. They decide to take care of their adoptive parents in town until they reach adulthood.”
My adoptive parents are Falco.
Shaw turned to Falco. Hal glanced up at Leon. This guy’s in the family. This warm man. A mentor puts tea in there.
“Well, if a child is as cute as Hal, there will be many hopeful foster parents. It might be hard for Leon to be.”
“Why not? Even Falco could have been Shaw’s foster parent.”
“It’s”
The mentor took a good look at Falco.
“Because Falco was so pathetic that Shaw thought he could take care of him”
“Me too!
Hal raised his voice.
“For once, you can also cook. Cleaning, laundry.”
Shaw nodded yeah yeah. That’s right. You were in your late 20s, us.
“You know what? To fall where there’s nothing?
Leon told me to make fun of him.
“Oh, there.”
“There?
“What there was a stone”
“There isn’t.”
“I went somewhere when I got stuck.”
Hal turned to pussy. Seems like he hates outgoing defeats. Look at that. Everyone is holding their mouths and distracting their gaze everywhere.
“Right, right.”
Leon put his hands gently on Hal’s head.
“Michal, will you live with me and take care of me? I don’t like chores.”
Hal saw Shaw. Shaw showed her thumbs up softly.
“Please”
Hal became one of us. Linus, who was watching the whole thing, put his hand on his chest and said this in tears.
“O goddess of Genesis. Thank you for sending a young and brilliant healer this year. And in the broad heart of the deep forest.”
The eyes of the girl, who had a dead-eyed look on her face, are now shining in hope. Goddess!
“No, not that I shouldn’t be thanking you.”
Shaw told me to water it.
“In the first place, you said you’d put a caregiver on me, because you’re a goddess. Michal, even I was flown into the middle of the winter woods without anyone. If Falco hadn’t come through by chance, I’d be stuck in my life.”
“It was. But I got a lot of people to fly to, and it didn’t help.”
Hal nagged again.
“I hope it doesn’t help.”
“Because.”
“In the first place, they flew us because we couldn’t do anything about poison or drugs. Don’t you need it to help? You just have to live the way you want to.”
“Don’t you have to be useless?
“It’s okay.”
“Can I relax?
“It’s okay.”
“Don’t you have to hunt demons?
“It’s okay. There are commercial guilds in town, and you just have to find out what you’re good at. But yeah.”
Shaw niggered.
“A quick penny is a slime hunt, huh? Or, too.”
I laughed mischievously when I said that.
“Little kids don’t have to step on it accidentally. It helps people, this is it. To, et al.”
Hal spit.
“If you knock out a lizard, it’s perfect for dinner that day. It’s delicious. Okay, lighten up.”
It’s delicious.
That’s important.
“I knew you were Shaw’s family.”
Falco said with tender eyes.
“When it comes to food, the color of your eyes changes”
“Sure, you were on the run, but you were on a snack.”
Leon agrees and nods together. It’s not something you should have nice eyes on. The contents I’m talking about were very rude. Shaw shrugged his shoulder, for Christ’s sake,
“All these people, but it’s a very cozy city. Sometimes Dredd comes, so you can teach him magic then. Together, we can help you live in this world.”
Hal’s eyes filled with tears. Leon gently draws from behind. My back is warm.
“I can’t help it. I still have the sweets.”
I’m not crying because I want sweets. But I felt like I could be considered a crying child for wanting sweets. Because I’m sure Shaw and these warm people will be waiting for you to cry or mumble.
“Give me some more sweets while Hal’s crying”
“It’s time to remember that Lyla doesn’t have to say anything.”
Shaw gave Lyla buttercake when he said so. The tea party with the crybaby lasted until the sun rose.
