There was no imdiate solution
“So, the problem is the number of rooms…”
“Many of them are from the slums. And so they are happy to just be out of the rain and not worry about food and clothing… But it still makes worry. Ah, I’m sorry, Lady Claire and Mr. Takumi.”
“Not at all. We want everyone to be able to live without worry.”
There were only so many rooms in the building.
“Children are the future of this land and the country, so they cannot be treated without care. That is why the Liebert house pays extra attention to the orphanage. However…”
“Yes. Thank you, Lady Claire. It is thanks to the duke that we do as well as we are.”
“Um…would it not be possible to build new rooms…or just build a larger building altogether?”
While it was important to make sure that less children were orphaned to begin with, it would also help to have more space to accept them.
“That is one idea. Of course, it will take ti…”
“Indeed…”
Unless they had a new plot of land, it would be necessary to rebuild here.
That ant destroying the current building once, which would result in the children having nowhere to go.
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to add rooms to the existing building, Anna? There are no houses nearby, so there should be plenty of room to expand.”
“That is true. And that way, the children would be able to stay here during construction work.”
Claire preferred the idea of leaving the current building.
And so we continued the discussion in that direction.
Part of wondered if I should be involved in such talk of managent, but there was Milina. And if I were to ever hire people who left the orphanage, it was good to know about such things.
“Still, it will take so ti…”
“The problem cannot be solved so quickly…”
We didn’t co to any concrete conclusions. After all, the matter had to be discussed with Mr. Ekenhart, as it would be quite a costly endeavor.
“Huh?”
“It seems rather quiet over there?”
When I looked towards the garden, I saw that Leo was playing with the children. However, there was a small area where the younger children were gathered around quietly.
Normally, it was those children that would be the loudest.
Claire also looked in that direction with a puzzled expression. The children were all sitting down and listening to soone.
“…And the village that fed the Silver Fenrir…”
“Is that Mr. Walter?”
“It is. He appears to be telling them a story. I heard him ntion a Silver Fenrir…”
It seed like he was telling them a story about a Silver Fenrir.
Perhaps after being fed, the Silver Fenrir felt a debt and saved the village from danger?
It was likely a story he just made up on the spot. However, the children were eager to hear more.
“And then it slashed and trampled over the enemy. After being protected by the Silver Fenrir, the village was peaceful and able to develop into a town…and then a country…”
As Leo and the other children moved away and beca a little quieter, I was able to hear more of Walter’s story.
“Hmm…?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Well, I thought he was going to keep things more simple…”
He was now talking about how the Silver Fenrir helped the country prosper and expand their forces.
But then again, the children did not seem bored. So perhaps I was wrong.
On further inspection, I saw that Liza was also listening with the children.
Perhaps it was because it was about a Silver Fenrir. Her tails wagged happily.
Wel, sotis children like more violent stories. Especially when the bad guys were defeated.
