About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

"—cough cough cough, no, it's nothing. Well, Natalia, you probably don't really just want to drag me out. If that's the case, today will be my death day next year..."

Orson shook his head, and complained to Zao Lu in some embarrassment.

Because of my family environment you also know.jpg

"Hehe, doesn't Orson like dating girls like me?"

"Of course not! It's just—"

Orson stammered halfway through the explanation, and found that Zao Lu, who had said this sentence, had buried his head in the jacket at this time, and steam was bubbling from the gap.

Good guy, how about practicing Qishangquan here?

"Ahem... As I said before, I hope you, Orson, can also be my guard today. I plan to see how the areas affected by the Qiecheng incident are recovering now."

Zao Lu coughed twice, and put on the posture of a daughter of a noble family again, but to Orson, this forced calmness was a bit sweet and cute.

"I understand, Miss Natalia."

Orson smiled and made a butler's salute, and even changed his title back to the one he used to call him when he was performing guard work.

"Slick tongue—Knight Lord."

Zao Lu responded with a smile.

--------

"O-Sen--!!"

"Is there any place I can hide, Anna-san!?"

"Well... Orson, you want to create a secret room murder case for yourself?"

"I don't want to die yet - wow!?"

First stop, Peterheim Secondary School.

At this time, Orson is running away desperately with the truth behind his back, and behind him is Lin Dong who keeps throwing all kinds of compasses, utility knives, pencils, rubbers, firefighting suits, meteor hammers and other learning tools.

"I think Natalia, isn't your choice of this station a bit arbitrary!"

Orson complained loudly with Zao Lu who fled beside him, while the latter smiled as usual.

The reason why Orson was hunted down was very simple. After such a big incident, Orson suddenly disappeared from Peterheim for two whole weeks.During this period, Lin Dong tried to go to Rostov's house, but was also stopped by the guards.

Lin Dong, who thought that Orson and Zaolu had just run away and was extremely disappointed, opened her eyes wide when she saw the two reappear, and was about to rush over, but soon, this surprise became Anger turned into killing intent.

This was the case after that, even if Orson asked the political commissar to do ideological work for Lindong behind Anna's back, it was useless.

Finally, after being beaten up by Lingdong, the Xiongxiong group reunited after a long absence, and Gumi made a sumptuous meal of charcoal-grilled sandworms for everyone.

After Zao Lu explained to everyone that she was busy dealing with the Qiecheng incident recently so she couldn't come to the campus, Lin Dong felt a little relieved.

But after hearing that Zao Lu was already the mayor, the people in the Xiong Xiong Group made unbelievable voices.

And when Orson said that he was actually almost 20 years old, Lin Dong almost stared out his eyes.

"Are you lying, Orson? You're already a college student?!"

"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to get past it."

"Because Orson, you are tied for the bottom with me in every math mock test?"

"..."

Orson rubbed his head, and in the end he could only hold back one of Tallulah's favorite words: "Everyone has his own aspirations."

Life may lie to you, but math doesn't, just won't.

After Orson also said that he would stay in Qiecheng for a while and had a chance to get together again, Orson and Zaolu left Peterheim Middle School.

"It is said that Peterheim Secondary School will divide classes in the next semester - so that noble children and ordinary students will be divided into the same classroom."

After the Checheng Incident, Peterheim Secondary School renovated the stadium, and at the same time began to change the previous educational policy.

The disadvantages brought about by the aristocratic nobles have been reflected in the Qiecheng Incident. These nobles found that when the crisis came, they could not even get the support and protection of the citizens, so after saving their lives, more and more The nobles began to reflect on their past way of life.

It is just one of the attempts to raise your own children with the children of other ordinary people.

"Although I don't think the barriers between classes will be eliminated so easily, this should be a small improvement, right?"

Zao Lu looked towards Peterheim Middle School, stretching out her hand to feel the temperature around her.

The cold snap is no longer so biting, winter is about to pass, and it will be a brand new spring to greet this land.

In the spring of next year, Peterheim Middle School will usher in a new semester, and the Xiongxiong group who happen to be assigned to the same class will also welcome a new transfer student, who calls himself Zoya, and Xiongxiong's family is a policeman.

This is all for later.

Zao Lu and Orson came to the second stop, the commercial street where fierce fighting broke out before.

At this time, the commercial street has been repaired and reopened. Not only that, but today's commercial street is much more lively than usual——

"Friends in the front row, please reach out and sing with me!"

"Oww!!"

On the stage set up on the main road of the commercial street, a teenager holds a microphone to mobilize his emotions, while the citizens of Qiecheng around him are aoaoao cheering along with the beat. The scene was once more passionate than bloggers.

"...?" "..."

As for Orson and Zao Lu, they had the expressions of old people on subway phones.

The reason is also very simple. The boy who shined on the stage at this time is none other than Eno.Before Alina woke up and Orson was acting as a teacher, Orson would always see Yinuo hiding alone.

Although he was afraid that he would become the Mephisto who would be hacked to pieces in the future, Orson had always taken care of Ino more carefully, but even so, Orson still felt that he could not walk into this white-haired Li Boli. In the inner line of defense, this young man seems to be afraid of everything, and has no clear goal.

"Ino? You're here. What's the matter, is it because the previous story [high school students take their grandfather to Egypt to kill vampires] is too boring, so they skipped class?"

As usual, after training with the guerrilla fighters, Orson was ready to chat and tell stories with the children.

After discovering that Ino was not in the camp, Orson searched around, and found this boy who seemed to be integrated into the background and was about to disappear beside a snowdrift.

"Ms. Orson...? No, it has nothing to do with the story, I just... um."

After seeing Orson, Ino panicked. He wanted to say something, but he could only bury his head because of fear.

"If you don't mind, you can talk to me, Ino. I know you are always thinking about many things, but you never say what you think in your heart. You are still a child, and you don't need to bear everything alone."

Orson sat next to Ino, his tone flat and soft.

"I... Teacher Orson, I always feel that I don't belong to the life I have now—"

Ino hesitated for a long time, then looked at Orson, and said with evasive eyes.

"I used to...do bad things, I killed people...Moreover, Sasha became an infected person because of me...I was very scared, because I never felt that my actions at that time were wrong— ——At that time, I just felt that I finally didn't have to be bullied anymore, and that Sasha could always be by my side...I, obviously ruined everything, but because of it I felt very, very happy."

Ino spoke intermittently. Although his words were broken and incoherent, Orson also understood what Ino was struggling with.

He knew that what he had done was "evil", but he did not show any remorse for this "evil", which made Ino doubt whether he could survive in the camp, whether he was an "abnormal existence" .

In the original world, Black Snake took advantage of Ino's entanglement and led him to the path of completely "opening himself"—eventually turning Mephisto into that kind of anti-human character.

What should I do at this time?

Orson thought for a while, then spoke slowly.

"You can be forgiven for being happy, Ino."

"Eh……?"

Ino looked at Orson, he never thought that the acting teacher would agree with his distorted emotions.

"I heard Sasha say that the person you killed was the chief culprit that caused you to become an infected person. She is not a good person, and it is not a pity to die. And after Sasha becomes an infected person, you can continue to move forward together in the same capacity , this fact makes you feel safe, so you feel happy."

"Mr. Orson, then I—"

"However, a mistake is still a mistake, Ino. We can touch the darkness for revenge, self-preservation, protection of others, or some determination, but we can't take pleasure in 'taking another's life' itself."

Orson looked at Ino, speaking seriously.

"You are still a child, so in the face of those encounters in the past, you have no power to choose other solutions. Those lives, Sasha's ore disease, these are tragedies that cannot be changed. But if you have the power, you have to remember Hold on, Ino. There's always another solution."

"But--I've already done it, haven't I...! Sasha's illness, those who died, I can't pretend that nothing happened...Huh?! Oh, Mr. Orson??"

Ino was halfway through speaking, when he was suddenly picked up by Orson with his arms in his arms, and then he was forcibly carried into his arms by Orson.

Orson sat cross-legged on the snow, holding a flustered Ino in his arms.

"There is no way to remedy what happened. Everyone knows that. People in the guerrillas have more or less blood on their hands. But even so, our longing for the future has never stopped."

Orson gently stroked Ino's hair in his arms, recalling the infected girl who was also held in his arms but could not be saved.

The girl whose name she didn't even know had passed away, this was an unchangeable fact.

Now that I have the Originium skill, since this is the case, I will never let such a tragedy happen again.

"Try to help others, Ino. You have this power, maybe in the process of helping others, you can also find your own peace of mind."

"The power to save people? I don't know... And, if I do that, but still feel like I don't belong here...? Then what should I do?"

Ino raised his head and looked at Orson, his eyes were fragile like a wild cat about to be abandoned.

"Sasha and I will stay with you until you can get rid of the shackles of the past and decide on the path you want to move forward. Before that, I will block all the darkness for you."

Orson rubbed Li Boli's hair, showing an unreserved smile.

"—"

At this moment, the panic that had been entrenched in Ino's heart disappeared.

"So try to move forward, Ino. By the way, think about what you want to do when we infected people can hold their heads high."

"Then, actually, I think, stand on stage and sing..."

Ino no longer struggled, he buried his face in Orson's arm, and whispered shyly.

After that day, Ino began to learn techniques related to medical emergency.

Although at first Ino was a little worried about whether he could be qualified for this key role, but when he rescued an infected soldier from the brink of death and found himself smiling unconsciously, Ino threw himself into Orson's arms , cried out loud for the first time.

I am not an abnormal person who would be happy with the act of "deprivation of life", but a very ordinary guy who would be excited from the bottom of his heart because he saved someone else.

Orson didn't say anything, he knew that this Li Boli boy had found the path he should go on.

Just like other members of the guerrillas, Ino has experienced persecution unknown to ordinary people, and his hands are stained with blood that is difficult to wash off. But in the end, he did not choose to avenge the world, but to use his own strength Try to change this land.

——There is no need to deliberately accompany you on the next road, you have grown up, Ino.
