Britannia Empire, somewhere in the territory.
"Hey! Don't run!"
"Hahahaha! Miss Yala! Come and chase us!"
"Come on come on!"
"You brats!" Yala laughed angrily, "Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I'll smash your ass!"
Putting on a vicious face, Yala opened her arms, deliberately showing her teeth and claws, and rushed towards the three little girls who were about 8 years old in front of her.
As for Darlene and Lena, they sat on the steps in front of the mansion not far away, watching with great interest the chase game between Yala and the three little girls.
"This is a commotion..." Lina sighed with helplessness.
"Yeah." Darlene on the side seemed to empathize with her and nodded vigorously, "Yeah...it's really noisy..."
About half a year ago, Lina, Yala, and Darlene, with the combined efforts of three people, finally said that the manor was taken care of, and the large farmland around the mansion was finally put into use.
The three had a long discussion about what to plant in this large piece of farmland.
After countless discussions, the three finally made a decision - to grow grapes.
The reason why I decided to grow grapes is because grapes are the best-selling products here, and the supply has been in short supply for a long time.
In addition——Lena's father owns a vineyard, if the three of them encounter any difficulties when planting or selling grapes, they can directly ask Lena's father.
Although the three are no longer soldiers, they still maintain some of the habits they used to have when they were soldiers. For example, they like to act vigorously and resolutely, and they don't like to be procrastinated.
After deciding to plant grapes, the three of them quickly planted grape seeds in the fields of the manor with extremely high mobility and speed.
Then—about 3 months ago, after planting the grape seeds in the field, Lena suddenly said to Darlene and Yala:
"Let's go adopt orphans!"
For Lena's decision, both Darlene and Yala felt that it was too early.
After all, their fields have just planted grape seeds, and they haven't even sprouted yet.
Both Darlene and Yara felt that it was too soon to adopt orphans before they could make their first fortunes from the fields.
Faced with these concerns of Darlene and Yala, Lena waved her hands very readily:
"Don't worry! My savings plus the money my father gave me is enough for a family of 10 to live comfortably for 10 years!"
After hearing Lina's words, neither Darlene nor Yala could utter rebuttal words...
The first group of orphans adopted by the three were three little girls of the same age from the next village.
The three little girls named Marion, Sarah, and Lucia all lost their families because of being implicated by the war.
When picking up the three little girls, the head of their village sternly refused because he didn't know whether Darlene and the three were bad people.
The three of Darlene also spent a lot of effort and invited a lot of people to testify, so that the village chief of their village believed Darlene and the others, and believed that Darlene and the others really planned to build a special Orphanage for orphans.
The village chief who dispelled his doubts solemnly entrusted the three poor little girls in their village to Darlene and others.
Darlene and the others also patted their chests to assure the village chief and the villagers of the village that they would love these three little girls as much as their own daughters.
After bringing the three of Marion to the manor, the three of them were shy at first.
But—children are children after all.
Not long after they moved into Darlene's manor, the three of them got used to this new environment, and gradually revealed their cheerful nature.
The originally deserted manor, but also because of the joining of these three little girls who are used to this new life,
It became a lot more noisy.
But—noisyness is troublesomeness, no matter Darlene, Lena, or Yala, who is always being tricked by these three little girls, don't hate this kind of trouble.
By the way - Yara seems to be very popular with the 3 little girls for some reason.
The favorite play object of these three little girls is Yala.
Yala and the three of them were chasing and fighting all over the manor-this has almost become the most common scene in this manor.
"Okay." After looking away from Yala and the others who were fighting, Lena stood up, "Darlena, let's make dinner."
"Well, let's go."
Lena and Darlene walked back to the mansion, stepped into the kitchen, and began to prepare tonight's dinner with very skillful movements.
Darlene, who was cutting vegetables, quietly looked at Lina beside her while cutting the vegetables in her palm.
Lina, who is currently washing the fruit, seems to be in a good mood now, humming an unknown song while washing the fruit.
Looking at Lina who was in a good mood, Darlene pursed her lips, and after some hesitation, she asked Lina:
"Lena...I have a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time..."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"I've always wanted to ask you—why did you build such an orphanage?"
Hearing Darlene's question, Lina's hands, which were washing the fruit, stopped suddenly.
Just like what Darlene said just now - she wanted to ask Lena this question a long time ago.
She has always been curious - where did Lena get the idea of building an orphanage.
Because there are so many things to do on weekdays, it has been too late to ask.
Now that the two of them are alone, it is a good time to ask questions.
So, Darlene decided to take this opportunity to ask Lina this question that has puzzled her for a long time.
"Why did you build an orphanage..." Lena muttered, a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"There are many reasons."
"The main reason...may be to make me feel better."
"Huh?" Doubt and astonishment appeared on Darlene's face, "What do you mean?"
"... Darlene, whether it's you or me. The job I did before was to kill people."
After hearing Lina's words, Darlene's hand that was chopping vegetables also stopped.
"I don't know what you are like, anyway, I can't count how many people have been killed..."
"In the beginning, I was a little bit proud. I felt that I was beheading the country's enemies and making contributions to the country."
"It wasn't until... I participated in the 'Aurora' offensive and beheaded countless unarmed civilians that I realized something was wrong..."
"Maybe beheading civilians like this is good for the country, but... I really, really hate, hate this kind of killing of unarmed civilians..."
"That's why I really hate me who have killed countless civilians..."
