A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

The desert-covered continent of Lilts, except for the temple, is hard to find greenery.

Usually, orcs can easily tell the situation of another family from the number of green plants in one family.

Like the Cavendish house, because of the tree outside the window, it is very respectable in the whole Changwei Lane.

It must have taken Papas a lot of thought to find a small grass seedling in Lila City to give to Lilith.

Antonio saw that his sister liked Pappas's gift, so he didn't tell her. The sound of the spoon hitting the plate in his hand became louder. The crisp collision sound was hard for the orc to ignore.

Lilith and Pappas both looked at Antonio.

Antonio was naturally aware of their gazes, but he pretended not to notice. His hands were clacking. He scooped out soup spoonful by spoonful, blew on it twice when he put it to his mouth. When he took a sip, he glanced at Lilith quietly and said nothing.

Pappas thought Antonio didn't notice, so he kindly reminded him: "Antonio, your mother once said that when you drink soup, the spoon should not touch the bottom of the plate and make noise. This is impolite~" As he said that, Pappas put his index finger next to his face and shook it.

Antonio pouted, "I know...Papas."

A relieved smile appeared on Pappas's little face, and he patted his chest with his little hands: "Yeah, you just didn't notice it, it's okay~"

Antonio glanced at Pappas with a little dissatisfaction.

Lilith was much more perceptive than Pappas. She saw Antonio's dissatisfaction and realized that she had just ignored her fourth brother Antonio.

She quickly made amends: "I also like the little grass seedlings that fourth brother gave me last year!" After saying that, Lilith nodded heavily twice to show how much she liked it.

Antonio's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and he immediately put down the spoon. He clenched his two little hands into fists, put them in front of his chest, and asked expectantly: "Really?! Does Lilith like it?"

"Yeah, of course I like it~" The little grass seedling that her fourth brother gave her was sandwiched between the pages where the third brother's little grass seedling was turned.

Antonio smiled foolishly with his clear blue eyes.

Papas chewed the piece of meat in his mouth, looked at Antonio and then at Lilith without noticing anything.

He thought that Lilith must like his gift the most! Because he and Antonio were looking for the grass seedlings together, he knew that the one he chose was the best.

However, in order not to make Antonio sad, Papas looked at Antonio and decided not to argue with him. After all, he is Antonio's elder brother.

Thinking of this, Papas suddenly felt very happy. He sat on the chair and swayed happily. He forked another piece of meat into his mouth. Mm, it's delicious! ~

Antonio was in a good mood, just like Papas. Perhaps out of the tacit understanding between the twins, he also looked at Papas, and was sure that Lilith liked the little grass seedling he gave her more.

The reason was simple. Lilith had taken the initiative to ask for the little grass seedling he gave her. Unlike Papas, he had to ask before Lilith said she liked it.

In summary, Antonio felt that he had won a small victory over Pappas, so he didn't want to embarrass Pappas. He looked at Lilith again, and didn't want to embarrass his sister Lilith. Thinking about it, Antonio felt that he was really a good brother~

A war without the smoke of gunpowder ended silently without Lilith knowing.

God knows how difficult it is to carry water with four brothers? Lilith was glad that only two younger brothers were here. If the second brother Vasilio was here, she couldn't imagine how she could have eaten this meal peacefully.

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lilith, what is the little orc sighing about?" Kunta said with a smile, "How do you want to celebrate your birthday this year?"

"Ah...Mom, isn't the family very busy lately?" Lilith felt embarrassed that her family had to celebrate her birthday when they were so busy.

"No matter how busy I am, I will always find time to celebrate your birthday," Kunta replied.

Papas, who loves celebrating his birthday, quickly responded to his mother: "Yeah! This is only once a year~"

"I was thinking... let's celebrate together next year... that wouldn't be a bad idea actually." A lot of things have happened recently, making Lilith feel tired, and it's hard for her to get excited about her birthday.

Antonio shook his head vigorously, and imparted his experience to Lilith in the tone of a person who had experienced it: "No! Next year is next year's matter. This year is over, and it won't come again, Lilith."

Lilith paused: "...But, maybe we will be on the teleportation array on my birthday."

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Kunta shook his head and laughed.

Lilith muttered, "It's hard to say, after all, the time interval is very close..."

"No!" Pappas objected loudly. He was more excited than Lilith about her birthday. This had to be mentioned. The lively and abundant food at the birthday party deeply attracted Pappas, who loved lively and delicious food.

Lilith knew more or less what her third brother Papas was thinking, and replied with a wry smile: "I'll follow mother's arrangements. There's no particular process I want." This was the truth, but she also spoke with a bit of laziness in mind.

Kunta was a little disappointed. She had wanted to have a big party for Lilith's birthday. After all, this was their last family gathering in Lila City. But seeing that Lilith was not in a good mood, she didn't want to force the child to do it, so she insisted: "Well, let's do it the same as in previous years."

"It was good in previous years." Lilith thought sincerely, "As long as you are by my side, I will be very happy. It's just... a pity that my eldest brother and second brother are not here..."

Kunta was a little absent-minded when he mentioned his two eldest sons whom he had not seen for a long time. Fortunately, their family was about to move, which greatly dispelled the regret in Kunta's heart.

"Hehe! Vasilio will never make Pappas happy!" Pappas, who is always teased by Vasilio and has no ability to fight back, has no attachment to Vasilio.

"Papas...Second brother is generous..." Antonio whispered to Papas.

Thinking of Vasilio who often used his pocket money to buy snacks for them, Pappas was a little speechless. Since the eldest and second brothers left Lila City, the opportunities for them to eat snacks with Lilith have been greatly reduced.

But Pappas refused to admit defeat: "My brother would buy it too! I don't care what Vasilio bought..."

Compared to Pappas, Antonio is much more pragmatic: "The eldest brother buys, the second brother buys. Two portions are always more than one."

In front of Amuquinta, Papas and Antonio talked about these things openly.

Kunta tried to hold back, but finally couldn't hold back any more: "Papas, Antonio, Lilith, Tepper and Vasilio are your brothers. Whether they buy things for you or not, they are still your brothers. Your mother doesn't like you because they buy things for you, so she thinks they are good."

Papas and Antonio fell silent.

Lilith, who was innocently implicated, also took the scolding obediently.

"We are a family. A family is a relationship that doesn't need gifts to maintain." Kunta pressed his palms over the heads of the three children one by one, "Family is a relationship that doesn't need a reason to stand behind each other."

Kunta looked at the three children who were still ignorant: "Papas, Antonio, Lilith, promise your mother, okay?"

Papas and Antonio could vaguely feel that their previous thoughts were wrong. Now they both looked ashamed and knew they were wrong.

Lilith chewed on the words "There's no need for a reason to stand behind someone", and was a little absent-minded for a moment...

“No reason needed”, does it mean to completely give your trust to the other person?

Lilith's eyes flashed with images of her mother, father, second father, third father, eldest brother Tepper, second brother Vassilio, third brother Pappas, and fourth brother Antonio. She suddenly felt that if it were them... if it were them, it would be normal to give all their trust to the other party.

She believed in them and the choices they would make...

When Lilith came to her senses, she found that her third brother Pappas and fourth brother Antonio had been staring at her for a long time like curious babies. And her mother's eyes were actually filled with tears in a dramatic way.

Lilith felt something was wrong, but she had no time to react.

Kunta lost the maturity of an adult orc, and said in a somewhat aggrieved voice: "It's my fault, mother, for not making Lilith feel safe enough..."

Papas and Antonio didn't quite understand what Amuquinta said, but they also felt aggrieved for some reason.

Then, three pairs of eyes, each with a different color but similar spirit, stared at Lilith aggrievedly.

The tears in their eyes turned around and around in tacit understanding.

Ahhhh! Lilith scratched her head. She used her hands flexibly and quickly, turning left and right to comfort the three babies around her who had a huge age difference.

"No! No, no!!! I like... No! I love my mother, Papas, and Antonio the most!!" While Lilith was comforting them with her hands, she did not forget to express her sincere feelings.

……

After some operations, Lilith was able to barely pacify the three orc babies of different sizes in the house.

Lilith wiped the sweat off her face from exhaustion.

"Puchi! Hahahahaha." As a result, the four orcs, Amu, Papas, Antonio, and Lilith, suddenly looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The cozy little dining room was filled with the laughter of their family.

It's like a light yellow halo has been cast on time.
