About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

"What are you writing, Orson?"

Another infected member of the Yeti Squad, named Petrova, who was wearing the uniform of the Yeti Squad, raised his head and asked curiously.

The task the two received was "vigilance and reconnaissance", but in such an environment where they couldn't even see a snow slope within a radius of two kilometers, unless it was a phantom crossbowman, no matter who it was, they would be detected immediately arrive.

Because of this, neither of them was so nervous. Orson was fishing, while Petrova was looking for topics to chat.

"Outline."

"what?"

"It's something like the outline of the story. When I go back tonight, I'm going to tell Ino about Beidou Shenquan. A man can follow the inner justice even in the wasteland of the nuclear explosion. Open clothes, and at the same time make all kinds of strange noises, a story of passionate men."

"...Why does it sound like I'm just a pervert."

Petrova sighed, this "substitute member of the snow monster team" is also the "temporary substitute teacher" in the settlement, Orson.Although sometimes many interesting and exciting stories can be told, occasionally some inexplicable and incomprehensible stories are also told.

The Laterans and the Rupers dragged the rich second-generation Fengtou people to wreak havoc around Longmen while avoiding the Sicilian Mafia?Not even the hare of Ursus would believe such a story.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Ino's child?"

Petrova shook her head not to let herself think about those outrageous "Orson bedtime stories", and asked the other party how the somewhat shy Li Boli boy was doing.

"Although he is still very shy in character and still likes to stick behind Sasha, but recently he has begun to be able to do some housework independently. And last time he did this for me."

Orson pointed to the scarf wrapped around his neck. Although the material was not very good, the workmanship was unexpectedly solid.

"Hey... so it turned out that he had been peeking at me knitting for this reason."

Petrova sighed with emotion, and then expressed some envy.

"Obviously I have specially selected [100 Stories Must-Read for Pure Men!], but I always feel that the girl power of Ino is getting higher and higher..."

Orson rubbed his hair with a slightly embarrassed expression.

At first, I just hoped that Ino, the future Mephisto, would be on the right path, so I took extra care of him.

But in terms of the result, although he didn't become strange, he became strange in another sense...

"Well, Petrova, is it normal for a child to knit a scarf for himself?"

"Yes, it means that the child is very sensible."

"Then, it's normal to like to come over when eating, isn't it?"

"Well, it will make you feel safe."

"It's okay to keep staring at me while studying, isn't it?"

"Yeah, that means he studies hard."

"It's also very common to drill into my bed while sleeping."

"You turn yourself in."

"Hey!?"

That's right, although Ino is making steady progress towards a good young man under the leadership of Orson, but his innate "morbid" personality seems to be slowly entangled with Orson in another way.

Orson has already decided that when Eno starts to watch works like [Brokeback Mountain], [Beast Beast Class], and [Dark and Deep Fantasy Tan], he will pack up and run away.

The white-haired, clingy and childish guy, although Orson is a straight man, he doesn't know if he will accidentally give his soul to Mephisto... No, it's Lucifer.

"The signal is coming."

Petrova's voice brought Orson back from his worries. A signal was sent from a distant village. Orson closed the note in his hand and jumped down from the tree gently.

Tuning - wide area low frequency.

The invisible source stone skill fluctuation spreads to the surrounding area with Orson as the center. This is a trick used in open areas, which can detect the detection ability beyond the line of sight.

"No problem, there are no ambushes of pickets around."

Orson stopped Originium Arts, and Petrova sent the signal.

Not long after, a group of people came back from the remote town, led by Frost Star.They carried a transport vehicle loaded with supplies, and their expressions were very relaxed.

"How's it going, Bear?"

Petrova asked a member of the Yeti Squad, who grinned and gave a thumbs-up.

"The transaction was a success! This village is one of the few villages that are friendly to the infected. Not only are there no pickets around, they even agreed to conduct long-term trade with us!"

"That's great……"

Petrova let out a long sigh of relief, while Orson on the other side was staring at the leader of the snow monster team, the big rabbit Frost Star.

"……What's wrong?"

Frost Star frowned and asked.

"It feels like you are very happy today, Shuangxing."

"Happy? Nothing to be happy about."

Shuang Xing responded coldly, while Da Xiong on the side clapped his hands as if remembering something.

"Ah, the village head of that village gave Eldest Sister some carrots because she saw that Eldest Sister has cute long ears."

"Big Bear!?"

Shuangxing's fair cheeks were immediately stained with a blush, and she yelled at Big Bear in a panic and angrily.

"Well, don't be so nervous, Shuang Xing. I won't grab carrots from you, you can eat slowly by yourself—poof!"

Before Orson finished speaking, his mouth was stuffed full of snowballs.An atmosphere of joy erupted in the team immediately.

"Olsen, you pissed off Sister Shuangxing again today!" "No way!"

"I watched you pluck her tail with my own eyes, and was chased and smashed by the elder sister with ice cubes!" "How can that be called provoking... that's called stroking a rabbit, and stroking a rabbit is not provoking...!"

——Conversations like this have become reserved items.

----

More than 20 days have passed since Orson was on the verge of death and was picked up by Talula.

Orson didn't know when he got rid of his status as a prisoner's servant. He got along well with everyone and became a "certified acting teacher". Today, I went on a mission with the snow monster team, and then came back to be hanged by the patriots.

Sasha, also known as Faust, has become better and better at using crossbow arrows, while Ino, known as Mephisto, has become more and more proficient at tailing Orson (?).

The lives of himself and the guerrillas seem to be gradually turning in a good direction, but Orson doesn't think so.

"I searched around and didn't see you in the settlement, but you are here, Sister Talula."

When Orson came to the room where "Alina" was sleeping, Tallulah leaned against the wooden bed with her eyes slightly closed, and opened her eyes gently after hearing Orson's voice.

"Take a break... Welcome back, Orson."

Tallulah smiled at Orson, but Orson's expression was somewhat dull.

"...Still haven't decided yet?"

"—"

Tallulah looked away and did not respond to Orson's inquiry.To change the shape of an object, just use a hammer and pick to carve it.

To change the state of an object, just change its temperature with fire or ice.

But changing one's "soul"... at what cost?

"Let me think about it……"

This was Tallulah's answer to Orson at that time, but it is also the answer that has continued to this day.

She still hasn't been able to make a decision, whether it's rejecting Orson's risky behavior, or agreeing with his search for a miracle to come.

"Frost Star came back from another village. We successfully established a trade relationship with that village, Sister Talula. And with the white wine brought by the picket last time, we exchanged for food that can last at least 10 days."

Orson told Tallulah the result of the action just now, and the latter nodded slightly, then looked at Alina beside him.

"We're making steady progress, Alina, aren't we?"

Talula stretched out her palm and gently stroked the Elafia girl's hair.

"..."

Orson watched silently from the side. He couldn't get Tallulah's response, and at the same time, he couldn't relieve her tense strings that seemed to be broken at any time, and he couldn't know what was wrapped around Tallulah's soul at this moment. The essence of that black noise.

During this time, in order to "satisfy his vanity" and "to prevent himself from being condemned by his own conscience", Orson did a lot of things, trying to change as much as possible the integration movement that will become the enemy of the world in the future.

Although he has done a lot of things, even though he has integrated into the team, Orson doesn't know if what he has done is useful.

He always felt that everything he had done might disappear completely with Tallulah's "collapse", just like a snowman next to a burning fire.

Orson would frown every time he saw Tallulah's "white sheet music" that was about to crack. He hoped that he could relieve Tallulah's tense nerves, but Orson didn't know the relationship between Alina and Tallulah. , There is no way to do anything for these two people.

He only knew that Alina was a special existence to Tallulah, and in the main storyline of the game... there was no such deer in the integration movement.

Could it be that her death was the last straw for Tallula's complete collapse?

In this case, I have to forcibly [tune] her, but this process will probably take a long time, and I have absolutely no way to keep it secret.

Orson had previously experimented with "soul attunement" on living creatures, more specifically members of the Infested Picket.

The final result was that the opponent completely collapsed and defected, but Orson also fell into a coma for several hours because of using this ability for the first time.

Even "destroying" that does not require fine detail will consume a lot of analytical power, so more precise "repairing" is definitely not an act that can be easily accomplished.

"Let's go, Orson, the meeting is about to start, let's celebrate for Frost Star, and then think about how to spend tomorrow."

Tallulah got up from the chair and was about to leave the room.

"Are you all right, Miss Tallulah?"

Orson's concern made Tallulah smile.

"You ask me that question every day, Orson. Of course I'm all right, I'm not going to be all right. My fellow citizens wait for me to show up, and I'm 'undead', the fighter who'll keep going no matter what, won't be knocked down .”

"You know that's not what I asked... eh."

Seeing the back of Tallulah getting up and leaving the room, Orson sighed. He picked up the pen on the table next to him and added a new stroke to the calendar beside Alina.

Orson took a look at the Elafia girl who was still sleeping. Her white sheet music was still pure, but a piece was missing. Orson thought he could fix it, but the only problem was that Tallulah seemed to be Not ready for this yet.

"Thank you. You have been working hard to prevent her from completely breaking down, right? I will keep an eye on her and prevent her from going astray. Then, let you meet again."

——After all, only one "fake teacher" in the settlement is really not enough.
