Carsen’s face burned brightly.
He was belatedly aware that Ellie had deliberately lured into the warehouse.
“Ellie, you…!”
Carsen and his crowd approached Ellie.
“How do you tell me…!”
Carsen reached out and grabbed Ellie’s shoulder, when Damian reflexively woke up.
“What is the fuss?”
In a sharp voice, the children’s gaze turned toward the door.
Last night, he was the teacher who captured Carsen and his crowd in the warehouse.
It was because of the children who did not come down after a long time after the bell rang.
“What are you doing!”
When he saw Carsen holding onto Ellie, his face hardened.
“You still haven’t fixed your habit!”
“Oh, no, sir! Ellie first made a dispute!”
“You told us I was stupid! It’s Ellie who was wrong!”
They shouted in embarrassment, but the teacher did not believe.
The quiet Ellie and the children who always think.
It was self-evident which of the two was more reliable.
“Hey! You guys all heard it! Come on and tell him!
Embarrassed Carsen urged the children for an answer.
However, the children shrugged with their mouths shut.
The attitude not to answer.
Eli always pretended to be alone, but when she approached the children, she was kind.
When she was being bullied by Carsen and the crowd, she came first and even grabbed her attention.
The children loved that Ellie. So, there was no way for Ellie to give an unfavorable answer.
“These children ……!”
Cried Carsen. The teacher, who noticed his bloody momentum, became angry and pulled Carsen away.
“Sounds that make sense! Your fists go out every day, so even the nobles don’t pay attention to you!”
“Please believe me!”
This time, they were really unfair too, so the voice got wet.
Then the teacher frowned at her and looked at Ellie.
“Ellir, are you really?”
“………. .”
Silent Ellie slowly opened her mouth.
“…….It’s just that Carsen keeps saying strange things and refuting it.”
Like a hurt child, with a sad face, carefully.
“What are you talking about?”
“Damian was very sick yesterday. he got a little fever.”
Damian?
Teacher’s eyes narrowed, and when he found the boy in the back, he faced convincingly.
“By the way? ”
“So I was going to get the medicine, but… Carsen keeps saying that the teachers went to the casino.”
Then the teacher asked all the mouths.
It was because it was true that he went to the casino.
“Teachers can’t go to the casino late at night, leaving their kids alone.”
“that’s….”
“Is that right?”
Ellie lowered her gaze and cried out.
The eyes of the children turned to the teacher. His face was stained with embarrassment.
Now it was time to put the wedge. Ellie said.
“By the way, sir. Did you have the warehouse door open yesterday evening?”
“What?”
“I locked the warehouse door the last time because there was something the director ordered during the day. I certainly put the key in the director’s office, but it couldn’t have been open.”
“Well, that’s …….”
The teacher shut his mouth.
It was he who brought the key to the warehouse secretly. He was to enjoy a secret meeting with another teacher.
Read his embarrassment, Ellie said with a bleak face.
“I guess I lost my keys. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no. It’s okay. you blame youeself too much -”
“No. It’s my careless fault. I’ll go to Mr. Jang with Carsen.”
Ellie stepped forward. If this fact got into the director’s ears, it was a big deal.
“No!”
he hurriedly shouted, and he said all of his mouth to the shout that came out without his knowledge.
“That’s, so…….”
Confused, he rebuked Carsen to turn her around.
“Carsen, are you true to Ellie?”
“Yes?”
“Casino! Why did you lie like that? You almost made Damian wrong.”
“No, I’ve never done that! Ellie lied!”
“You’ll get a punishment for lying. Follow this way.”
“No. Not really! ”
As if the teacher didn’t even need to listen, he led Carsen and his crowd to go outside.
The door closed and the surroundings became quiet.
Ellie changed her face as if when he did it.
Her gaze, which was filled with her sadness, turned to contempt, and she then gradually became expressionless.
“What are you doing, let’s go down quickly,”
she said, then she smiled, as if when she did, she said to the children.
“If you don’t, I’ll be scolded by the director. Let’s wash it and go down.”
The atmosphere that was frozen by tension at Ellir’s words quickly relieved.
“What about your sister?”
“I’ll go down soon.”
As Betty’s ass was playfully tapped, the child laughed.
“Okay, come down soon!”
“Yeah.”
Last Betty, the only people left in the room were Ellie and Damian.
Until then, Damian had a blank face.
They’ve been together all yesterday, but Ellie never found a teacher.
She rather secretly opened the door and went in, and she did not take a bath as if to look.
She knew that the teachers were away best, Ellie.
‘But why.’
At that moment, she turned her body around. Damian fluttered his body as her eyes met.
Eli said with a smile.
“Did you tell me? When you take revenge for sleeping, you have to give it back at least twice as much.”
“……. .”
“I paid it for you,”
Ellie laughed.
“You, on my behalf?”
” Yes ”
“……..Why?”
“Because it’s the price of your life.”
I didn’t know what it meant.
“And, originally, grown-ups have to help children,”
She said, although she herself is a similar age of mine.
“Of course, no one of the grown-ups you’ve seen yet,”
Ellie laughed softly.
“Damian, there’s someone to help you, obviously. ”
“………. .”
“You can trust them.”
At that moment, the sunlight crossed the window. Came into the room.
Ellie’s hair shimmered following the gleaming sunlight. Desorry blindly blinked her eyes.
“Damian, if you believe……”
At that appearance, Damian touched his lips without knowing it.
“What if I believe?”
Ellie stopped at the first question asked.
She was worried for a while. Ellie said with a wide smile.
“I’ll be happy,”
the moment I saw that smile, my heart sat down.
Again.
Again, my heart was weird.
Even though she couldn’t see his expression because of his hair, Damian bowed his head. She just seemed to have to.
As Damian’s ears turned red, Ellie made her anxious face.
‘Yes again.’
Do you really have a cold?
Ellie bowed her head to catch Damian’s gaze. She said,
“Aren’t you hot too?”
“This, it’s just hot….”
Damian, who stuttered, suddenly stopped talking.
“Not really”
“Huh?”
“It doesn’t hurt very much.”
“So you mean it hurts?”
Also. Ellie sighed and swept her bushy bangs up.
“Look at it.”
White face, clear eyes, and long eyelashes were revealed.
A red face. It seems a little embarrassing, but his gaze is looking straight ahead.
‘It’s harmful to the heart,’
Ellie repressed her desire to prick her cheeks.
“You also have some fever. Let’s eat and take some medicine. All right?”
It was the moment Damian nodded.
I thought I could hear the footsteps, but Tommy came into the room.
“Ellie, come down quickly! Director Wake up!”
“Ugh. Already?”
She raised her hand to her tired face.
Ah. A small voice of regret came out of Damian’s mouth, but Ellie couldn’t hear it.
It was clear that he would hear a voice made to the procrastination director.
“Let’s go, Damian.”
Ellie grabbed Damian’s hand and dragged him.
Damian hesitated to hold her hand tightly.
The heat from his cheeks was as hot as if it had moved her hand.
Eli. Eli.
Damian quietly chewed the child’s name in her heart.
Just putting the name in his mouth was a big courage for Damian, but Elli couldn’t even notice it.
🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸
“Don’t let it go, that bastard…”
Carsene muttered with clenched teeth.
Carsen, who was trapped in the room as a punishment, crushed him.
Following yesterday, I was scolded by the teacher again today.
Without that child, this would not have happened.
Carsen glared at the tightly closed door, holding his white fingertips tightly rolled up.
‘Why the hell is Ellie taking the side of that child?’
The orphanage children here are usually divided into two categories.
Children who want to be adopted and children who have nothing to do with adoption.
Ellie wasn’t either.
She wasn’t, to be sure, she was a child who wasn’t interested in adoption.
Even when the nobles came to the orphanage to adopt a child, they did not try to see well.
Carsen was such a miracle of Ellie.
It was to get Ellie’s attention even more that bothered the children.
At times like that, Ellie used to look at me.
But this time something was different.
Ellie took the child. She’s like being my little Sister.
‘……But it won’t be too long.’
Because no matter what, it will make Ellie cut her attention.
Carsen grinds it, recalling Damian standing behind Ellie.
