Duke, Please Repent! chapter 273

51. Infiltration with the Duke (4)

He carefully opened the door and entered the building.

The first thing I saw was a 12-year-old girl feeding her baby from a bottle. The figure of an adult who was supposed to take care of the children was nowhere to be seen.

The little girl's expression was full of fatigue, and ringworm appeared on the baby's face.

" uh?

A child, puzzled by the cold wind that came with us, looked towards us.

Starting with that child, everyone's eyes turned to me and Edna standing in front of the door.

Sister-! See and try hard!

A child jumped up and jumped into Edna's arms, followed by the other children running to her side.

As the children began to babble all at once, the nursery roared as if it had ever been quiet.

The only child who didn't run into Edna was the girl who gave the baby a bottle.

The girl also seemed to want to leave her seat immediately and get up, but she couldn't get up and started crying because she was holding the baby.

'Is that child the eldest in this testimony? ?'

There were not many children.

There are only eight, including the baby from the bottle. Compared to the nursery schools in the Prasidus Territory, the number is very small.

sleep.

No, you don't have to have someone to look after the kids!'

In addition to Priest Amelia, who is in charge of the director, it was compared in many ways to the nursery school belonging to the denomination where several priests took turns taking care of the children.

"Noona, noona! What about a present?"

The little boy who had been walking around us asked, pulling on the hem of Edna's robe.

He kept hovering around me, so I wondered if he was looking for me the first time I saw him. Looks like he was just looking for a present

am.

Edna had an apologetic expression on the kid's question.

"Gift , are you up for it? I promised to buy you a present the next time I come "

Somehow he wasn't interested in me. I guess it was because I had a bigger interest.

The clothes the children were wearing all looked old, the toys scattered here and there were old and worn out, and the children's books were frayed and torn.

Hands only on the day Edna comes

When I remembered the children who would have waited and waited for a gift, I felt sad.

I'm sorry, my sister was in a hurry to come today, so I forgot.

At Edna's words, the children, including the little one, cried. Seeing the pale faces of the children, even me loses energy.

I can't do it like this. to take special measures.

Hey, Edna! You're so playful! The kids are going to cry.

Yes?

I deliberately exaggerated, but Edna asked with a puzzled expression on her face.

Why are you talking like that even though you clearly know that you haven't had time to pack your children's presents, or are you thinking something like that?

I ignored her gaze and squatted down, making eye contact with the first kid who was looking for a gift.

Wait a minute, Boy 1, I'll bring you a bunch of snacks. I've been hiding in front of you because Edna was joking around.

''Really?!

then~!

When I answered with a confident grin, the children's faces widened.

Edna's face was relieved of worry as the word snack reminded me of myself naturally taking out cookies from the tower.

I got up from my seat, the two who lightly tapped the little boy's head.

Oh, it's cold outside, so don't follow me. I'm waiting here with Edna noona. Everyone can do it.

Joe?

Yes!

Blocking the children from rushing out, they quickly came out and hid between the building and the wall.

He took out a thin blanket from his pocket and poured all kinds of snacks on it, then gathered the four corners of the blanket and tied them together like a bundle.

'I'm sorry Serpense... .'

It's a snack for him to eat, I'll buy a new one after work.

After all, there is no time to have a leisurely tea time while infiltrating.

I went back into the nursery with a blanket full of candies, chocolates, cookies, etc. This makes me feel like Santa.

Voila-!

When I pulled the blankets in front of the children and showed them the contents, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even as they swallowed the saliva that tickled the tip of their noses, the children did not run away immediately and looked at Edna and me.

Everyone, don't be too greedy, just take one. Eat the rest tomorrow.

As soon as Edna finished speaking, the children took up snacks one by one with bright expressions on their faces.

Edna, who saw it, gave me a thank-you look and bowed lightly.

"But who is this man?"

It wasn't until after holding the small cookie bag in hand that I could see myself, and the kid who was looking for a gift showed me a belated interest.

Second to being pushed by the gift, why is Edna, who is older than me, the older sister and I am the uncle?

From an objective point of view, Zion is presbyopia

this is not It's a face that looks just like my age. That's not to say that Edna wasn't exceptional.

Maybe it's instinctive to keep a distance from strangers.

When I think of it that way, bitterness precedes regret.

I'm just a cousin of someone I know well...

Edna?

Edna was about to explain me. A door with a nameplate on it was opened, and a man who appeared to be in his 30s came out.

It looks like that guy is the ledger bastard in question.

What are you doing here? Isn't today supposed to be a day?

"Austin, you ! What the hell were you doing without seeing the kids?"

What did I play? It was all because of the work, because of the kids! And I'm the director, so I shouldn't show that attitude in front of the kids. You keep saying that, so the kids don't follow you more than me?

Judging by the magpie's head, it's clear that the manager came out of bed, Edna

shouted again at

Let's go in and talk.

"More than that, what the hell is that guy?"

Perhaps he couldn't even swear in front of the children, Edna suggested moving to the director's office.

But the manager didn't seem to want to, and ignored her words and looked me up and down.

I can feel the naughty gaze, Jindi.

What... are you going to be my lover?

It's not like that. It's Matop's relative's nephew, but he said he hasn't got a job yet. There's not much he can do, but he likes to see children. Take it, and I've brought it.

Edna answered, suppressing her irritation.

At her words, the manager looked at me again.

"Are you planning on spying on me now?"

what?

"The person who is close to you

Who else but the unlucky kid?"

Don't talk like that about the anima

Anyway, I'm trying to plant someone I know here to meddle in whether I'm good at watching kids or not.

I think the thief's numbness in my feet was referring to this.

The reason I suddenly pretended to be kind since last year was just to take over the position of director with ease. Now, it seems that the colors we saw are revealed again.

As soon as he came out, the children quietly

started watching.

I don't know how much they paid, but if you have the money, you can donate it to our orphanage, huh? And what are these? Aren't these very expensive?

Don't touch the kids snacks.

You mean you've spent so much money on snacks for the kids? Wow, you're so...

I don't even know what the hell is too much.

Before he got greedy, I gathered the snacks and wrapped them in a blanket again and pulled them towards me.

"How on earth can I trust you and give you money?"

I'm so sorry. How hard I work for the kids! I don't know what you don't know, but I'm balancing well in the middle, so I'm going to keep this. I'm still tired, but let's not do this to you, huh?

Does the guy who leaves the kids alone and goes to sleep really do their best for them?

If you were really tired and fell asleep while working hard for the children.

Instead of yelling at the snacks brought for the kids because they were too much, the first thing that came out was thank you for taking care of them.

Anyway. Hiring and nothing like that. It's really a request, but I recently received an expensive magic reagent for an experiment from him, so it's a bit difficult to turn it down.

He gave me some magic reagent, you're just asking me for a favor without giving you anything?

I don't think anyone will look after them anyway, so just use it.

You see, here's the employee's salaries

Do you have any money to give?"

To be honest, there seems to be.

Contrary to the shabby behavior of the children, the material of Won Jang's clothes was quite luxurious.

There were no fancy decorations that made me feel uncomfortable. Jimin: I could tell because I had seen a lot of expensive clothes while working as an aide in the duke's family.

It is clear that I bought it at a level that only those who knew it could recognize.

I have a lot of money at home, so I just need a job to introduce to others, so I don't have to give it a lot.

"Ah, because of marriage?"

I guess so.

It's very good to sell. You'll hear that a rich guy has a good heart if he meets his parents well and shows goodwill, and just pretends to go to an orphanage. On the other hand, I...!

Jealousy and jealousy stood in the eyes of the man who looked at me.

The guy who had been staring at me for a while with his eyes full of inferiority spit on the floor, spit, and rubbed it like crazy with his slippery feet.

And then without a word, go into the director's room

abandoned

"Oh, really I'm sorry."

It's not Edna's fault, there's no need to apologize.

"I'll come talk to you for a moment, so can you take a look at the kids here?"

Yes, you can go safely.

Edna took a deep breath and followed him into the director's room.

I don't think there's anything good about getting a job here...

Mija! Be..., Bur], what did you say? Anyway, there's no such thing.

I'm talking about vision.

The children looked at me with sad eyes and said a word to each other. In such an environment, it would be nice to welcome and welcome someone to take care of me, but it is so heartbreaking that this situation seems to encourage me to run away quickly.

"So my older sister and older brothers were singing to me saying they wanted to get out of here quickly."

Sister and bro? Who else here besides you guys?

The kid who left the 'education' that Edna spoke of

will take

I can guess, but I pretended not to know and asked the kid who had just talked about my sister and brother.

The child nodded and held out one hand.

Five people. They don't go out of work right now. Everyone will learn hard and become great adults like Edna and me.

Isn't it? Shion oppa has grown up to be a bigger person than Edna's, so he bought the nursery school!

Another child refuted the boy's words.

However .

Zion?

Oooh! Shion-oppa works at the Kijuk Workshop! It's fourteen rooms!

That's right. My name is Zion! It's amazing, isn't it?

Isn't it? The baker's name over there is Shion!

" Si, it's amazing."

It seems that the name Zion is really common.

Anyway, there are people who have already occupied the titles of Shion-oppa and Shion-hyung.

Hey, it seems like I'm tired of listening to hyung or oppa.
