Chapter 43 42. The Sunshine Orphanage.

"This not a inventory though, it's my subspace magic." He answered with a smile, leaving Isha more puzzled than she ever been in her life.

"Huh?"

"Subspace magic, hmm... Like a part of dimensional magic." Eshwar answered only to find question marks all over Isha's face.

"Pfft, hahahahaha." Eshwar laughed out loud.

"What?" Isha's ears turned red.

"Pfft, hahaha, don't worry, I'll teach it in one of my classes." He said and walked ahead of her.

"It's this way." Said Isha pointing at the other direction Eshwar was walking.

"..." Eshwar turned around with stiff movements and walked towards Isha.

***

I walked with Isha until we came to an orphanage known as 'the Sunshine Orphanage.' It appears to be larger than Vinny's house. It has a garden in the front and slides, playhouses, and toys all over the place in the backyard, with many kids running around and only one kid walking around like she's the boss of the place, taking care of all the other kids like an adult.

"Why?" I mumbled while looking at the kids in disbelief.

"What do mean why?" Isha walked into the orphanage, peering over her shoulder at me.

'I mean, they are going to...' I stopped my thoughts there, furrowed my brows and followed Isha.

"Hello, Melissa." Isha greeted the woman who was intervening between two children who were fighting.

'No, punch him from below, an uppercut!' I clenched my hand and encouraged the kids fight.

"Oh!" I exclaimed unconsciously because the other kid used a dirty trick and grabbed the kid's hair.

"Sister Isha!" a kid exclaimed in joy after noticing Isha standing near the door.

"Oh!" I exclaimed in a dejected tone because those kids stopped fight and ran towards Isha.

The woman who stopped the fight looked at Isha as if she were a long-lost sister but didn't even try to hug her, but the kids were a different story, pounced on her from all directions.

"Sister!" all exclaimed as one. There were a total of 13 kids living in that orphanage.

"You are late." A cute girl with short brown hair and dark brown eyes crossed her hands and looked at Isha as if she were a teacher looking at a tardy student.

"Oh my, Anuke! You have grown a lot." Isha exclaimed and walked towards the kid.

'Anuke? Ah! Doesn't it mean 'a war goddess?'' I remembered and nodded in agreement because that name was perfect for the child in front of me.

"I haven't. Flattering won't work, you're late!" She spoke to Isha calmly, as if she were speaking to a spoiled brat.

"Yes, ma'am." Said Isha.

"Pfft. Ahem." I unconsciously laughed out.

"Yes? Who are you Sir?" The woman asked, tilting her head. She had jet black hair, bright blue eyes, wore casual clothing, and looked lovely. And her name was...

"Melissa, he came with me." Isha replied, her brow furrowed and her gaze fixed on me.

"Hello, Miss Melissa. I'm Eshwar Frost, nice to meet you." I introduced myself with a polite bow.

"Eh? Ah, yes! I'm Melissa, nice to meet you too." She too introduced herself with a polite bow.

"..." I smiled brightly, but the mood quickly became awkward, and I found myself standing still and sweating from the awkwardness.

"..." Melissa just stood there staring at me, dazed.

"Ahem-mm." Isha abruptly cleared her throat, breaking the awkward silence.

"Ah, excuse me, please come in." Melissa invited me by pointing to the sofa next to Isha.

"Pardon, my intrusion." I walked in and sat down on the sofa, determined not to move.

"You!" Anuke ignored Isha and walked towards me, pointing her index finger.

"Yes?" I titled my head, puzzled.

"..." Anuke waved her hand near her face as Isha walked past her and sat at the opposite end of the sofa.

"Yes?" I leaned in towards Anuke after noticing what she was indicating.

"You don't like kids, do you?" she whispered in my ear with a smug grin.

"Pfft, Ahem." Isha cleared throat trying cover her laugh.

"Ho! Aren't you a smart kid." I said with smug grin too.

'Like I'll let you win! Muhahahahaha.'

"Don't worry, I like smart kids like you." Anuke grinned as I said this, and the next words she said had me frozen...

"Ew, pervert." Said Anuke, grinning.

"Pfft, hahahahaha." Isha laughed heartily.

"Anuke! Don't talk to big brother like that." Melissa came and apologized instead of Anuke.

'Yay, Melissa for the rescue.' I thought before accepting the apology.

'Look what you did.' I looked at Anuke. Like she had heard my thoughts, she looked at me with a 'It was your fault' face, shrugging.

"What are we doing her?" I asked she in a low tone.

"She comes here at least once a day to show her face." Melissa spoke up.

"Oh, I see." I mumbled.

"..... um, can 'big brother' use magic too?" Anuke asked emphasizing the big brother, grinning.

"Of course." I grinned and waved my hand, creating wisps of bright light blue colour.

*That's it?" Anuke asked in a mocking tone.

Wisps flitted around the orphanage, capturing the attention of the children, including Melissa. Everyone surrounded us and stared at the wisps that transformed into snowflakes and landed on their noses.

They transformed into a horse running around in mid-air, leaving snowflakes wherever it went. Every kid was staring at the horse in awe while I grinned at Anuke, but she was staring at the horse as well.

I looked at her and directed the horse to walk behind all of the children present. When everyone's attention was focused on the horse, I directed it to look at the children and shook its head back and forth, signalling them to follow it, and the horse slowly walked in mid-air towards the backyard, followed by me and Isha.

After going to the backyard, the horse popped, causing tonnes of snowflakes to fall, and every kid turned to look at me with puppy eyes. I chuckled and pointed to where the horse had just popped; Isha and Melissa looked perplexed but still looked in the direction I indicated.

Soon, a whirlwind of snowflakes formed and dispersed, leaving behind a light blue unicorn that walked slowly towards the children, allowing them to touch it. Squeals and giggles filled the backyard.

Finally, it approached Anuke and leaned down, indicating that she should hop on; Anuke turned to look at me, and I nodded. She sat on the unicorn, which spread its wings and began to run around in the air.

"Kyaa." Anuke squealed at first, but soon found herself laughing and enjoying the ride.
