＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 108

Nursery school (2)

The director’s office of [Arvila], the only orphanage in Armand.

“As you may know, the Endex theater team sponsored this place.”

Dent bowed his head at Elise’s words.

“yes. Thank you on behalf of the orphanage. “It will be a great help.”

“so… … “I guess I’ve also become a little interested in this place?”

“Hmm. “Thank you for that too.”

“Also, let’s do it together.”

Elise lifted her teacup. The color of the black tea was very dark.

“I also have a few questions to ask about Sion Askal.”

“What about Shion?”

Dent’s expression hardened slightly.

“yes.”

“Aren’t you alumni? “If you are an alumni, you might know better than us.”

“Yes, of course.”

Elise sipped her tea, pretending to be calm.

I was a little surprised. Because it tastes so good.

Tea from cold regions has a strangely deep flavor.

“Even though we are alumni… … .”

I was about to say something but stopped.

Dent had a slightly strange expression.

It’s not that he’s doubting himself, but his lips are twitching as if he’s holding back laughter.

“… … “Are you interested in Shion?”

At that time, Elise almost burst into words. I almost hit the teacup in her hand.

I barely held back.

“interest… … . “There is.”

It’s not a lie.

It’s not good attention, but bad attention.

“Oh, these days’ generation is… … There is no hesitation. “Hehehe.”

Dent cleared his throat with an excited expression, and the teachers’ noise rang like a vibration behind the counseling room door.

Elise glanced at that place and gestured.

“… … “I guess the soundproofing isn’t really good?”

“uh. okay. hey! What are they doing there! “Get out!”

Rumble-

The teachers stepped down. Dent looked back at Elise again.

“Hehehe. Well, actually, Shion was a bit fiercely handsome. Among the guys I taught, he was the only one who entered Endex. And again… … .”

Dent seemed like he was going to say endless nonsense.

“Sion Askal. You had leukemia, right? “Hematogenous leukemia.”

Elise went straight to the point.

There was a groove between Dent’s eyes. He asked back in a rather serious voice.

“Why are you asking about that?”

“Because I was in that hospital too.”

“… … “Hospital?”

Dent, who was thinking alone, soon clapped as if he realized something.

“Ah, that’s right. “That was Petra University Hospital, right?”

“yes. that’s right.”

“Hmm~ Then, by any chance, was Elise the friend that Shion was talking about?”

friend.

Elise’s fingers tightened as she held the handle of the teacup. The surface of the black tea was slightly turbulent. I almost spilled it, but I managed to keep my composure.

“Friend… … . Did Zion say that?”

“then. I did say that he was a ‘a bit of a strange friend.’ Anyway, I was happy because I made a friend.”

A little strange friend.

Elise smiled brightly after taking a sip of black tea.

“The tea is really delicious.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“Then, have you ever seen that friend in person? “I wonder if it’s me or another kid.”

In times like these, theater experience is really helpful. Not only facial expression management but also the ability to lie naturally are all part of acting.

“Keumm… … That’s really proactive. But I’ve never seen his face. Was it a ward where visitors could not go? Anyway, that’s what I said. “I don’t remember much, though.”

Elise’s poker face became incontinent.

There is only one ward at Petra University Hospital where visitors cannot go.

Psychiatric ward.

The place where Yael was hospitalized instead of prison.

“… … then. “Just one more thing.”

Elise said with a smile on her face.

“Shion, why was he enrolled in the orphanage?”

Then Dent waved his hand. This time I was adamant.

“I can’t tell you that far. Petra already knew about leukemia, and friends are good, but we can’t tell you about Shion’s injuries.”

“… … .”

Elise shrugged her shoulders.

“but. Yes.”

How Zion Askal’s father and mother died. Anyway, he can find out that much if he wants to investigate. Although it is difficult to trace the entire process of human life, the beginning and end are surprisingly easy to find.

“… … thank you. “Thanks to you, my interest has grown.”

“Oh heh heh- well, oh well, it’s Shion. Is it that good? No~ Oh, I’m so jealous. Interest from top prospects… … .”

Dent scratched his head with a bleary face, but the problem right now wasn’t Shion in the first place.

It was ‘Yael’.

[He’s really my friend.]

Jael’s words may not be false.

Zion Askal may really be friends with Yael.

How could something so terrible happen?

“then.”

Elise looked at her watch.

“It’s time to go. Oh, don’t follow me out. “I want to go and see things by myself.”

Dent, who had stood up hesitantly, sat down again.

“yes. Something to see… … Although not much. Please take a look.”

“yes.”

She came out of the director’s office with her attendant. Rumbling – Teachers all over the hallway hid like rats.

“… … “Ugh.”

I sighed and came out to the playground. There were three or four benches in a place where there was only sand, not grass.

I sat down in one of them. Her ass was cold.

I could see a glimpse of children through the windows of the building on the other side.

children.

Looking at the children, Elise shook her head.

Because she hates children.

Quite a lot too.

To the point where you have to exclude it from your life.

But when people say they hate children, they all get sick of it?

You can hate cows and pigs, but if you hate children, you’re either a psychopath or a sociopath… … .

“… … “Go away.”

Suddenly, a cute voice with low discontent called to her.

“huh?”

Elise looked back at that place.

there was nothing.

“It’s not there. “It’s here.”

“… … what. where are you.”

“Berry, down here.”

A tone that rises slightly from below.

Behind the bench, two short kids were glaring at them.

Jiiiing? Lasers erupt from the eyes.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Barry. “This is Belle.”

He walks out proudly while introducing himself, puts his hands on his stomach and bows.

Be polite.

“… … huh. okay.”

“if.”

A child named Berry confidently climbed onto the bench first. The attendant looked at him, but he told him to leave it alone with a glance.

“Do you know Shion?”

Berry asked about Zion. Elise almost burst into laughter.

Everything here is related to Sion Askal.

I should apologize for suspecting you of money laundering.

“… … “I know.”

Elise looked at Barry’s chest. Her smart phone hung like a necklace on her. Barry must have felt her eyes on him as he clutched her smartphone tightly.

“This is what Shion gave Barry.”

“okay?”

It was old compared to his latest smartphone.

“Isn’t it too old-fashioned?”

“What?”

“no.”

Maybe it’s abnormal for you to change your mind once a year.

Barry asked again.

“How is Zion doing?”

It’s Zion again.

These two kids seem to be curious about only Shion.

I’m a 6-star prospect, after all.

“You are doing well.”

Elise only answered like that.

“As expected~”

“Wow~”

The two children’s eyes lit up loudly.

“What happens if you do well?”

Anyway, these kids have a lot of questions.

“If I do well until the end, I will go to university.”

“Wow… … University… … .”

“Thank you… … .”

Berry and Belle opened their mouths in a daze. Then he waved his hands around and said.

“Berry, Berido, my dream is to become a knight. “I want to open a university like Zion.”

“I see.”

Elise expressionlessly rummaged through her coat pocket. Fortunately, there was a snack. 3 foreign chocolates.

“Share this.”

Eat and leave quickly.

“Wow.”

“Wow!”

Berry and Belle accepted it with shining eyes. Belle immediately opened the package and asked Berry as she stuffed it into her arms.

“What is your sister’s name?”

“Elise. “Elise Petra”

“Do you also do mogem or something like that?”

“… … Mogem?”

“It’s a mobile game.”

“ah.”

Elise placed her hand on her forehead. I can’t understand the abbreviation. Have you become this old before you know it? … .

“Please come again later and join us…” … oh! Now it’s time to go. “What a tiger teacher!”

Barry pointed somewhere. A teacher who looked like a dormitory supervisor was looking this way.

“huh. “Go.”

“Yes, before that!”

Berry held out his smartphone as he got off the bench.

“Exchange numbers! Do you want to do it?”

“… … .”

Elise thought for a moment, but then nodded.

Rather than rejecting someone to their face, you can just give them the wrong number.

“okay.”

“Please let me know!”

I recited the number to Barry. Berry fidgeted with his small hand and pressed the screen, showing [Save Completed].

“Damn it! Then I’ll go! Bye bye!”

“Bappay!”

“Go. hurry.”

Barry and Belle left. Elise muttered quietly as she watched the back of her head, which was large compared to her body, run.

“It’s a proper daycare center. “To the point where I feel foolish for doubting.”

She had vague distrust and skepticism about things like donations.

This is because I have seen so many wealthy people build altars or pretend to donate while doing laundry.

“I will also support here like Sion Askal. Instead, sustainable sponsorship.”

But I think it would be okay in a place like this.

“Mr. Luren. Do you know what those trees growing on the hill behind the orphanage are?”

Elise asked attendant Luren. He shook his head.

“I don’t know based on my limited insight.”

“It’s ‘Rehalsi.’ I saw it in Nature about three months ago. “It is said that if processed properly, it can be as efficient as magic stone when heating.”

She subscribes to many magazines, including medical journals, magic journals, and science journals.

It is a habit that has continued since a very young age, and it can be said that there is no high school student who knows cutting-edge technology as quickly as she does.

“I will support a workshop that can process rehalsi. and… … .”

Elise paused for a moment and thought of Berry and Belle. A smile unconsciously appeared on my lips.

Again, she hates children.

“library.”

Because I like it so much.

“Let’s go to the library.”

Whenever I look at it, I keep smiling.

I just want to keep seeing them.

This is because sometimes I forget the things I need to do and my ambitions and aspirations.

“Children cannot live without books.”

If you just give up the luxury goods that come out this summer and fall season, you will have enough money.
