Chapter Index

    “It’s been a while.”

    “Because I’ve been so busy.”

    Luke and Ellen followed Anne to a building.

    “This is an orphanage. It’s changed quite a bit.”

    “Thanks to Elin throwing money at me.”

    It was an orphanage that had been destroyed and then rebuilt some time ago.

    A few more neat buildings added.

    Children running and playing in a small playground.

    A view of the class through the window.

    Now it really feels more like a boarding school than an orphanage.

    “Welcome, heroes. We’ve been waiting.”

    Director of the orphanage.

    Craton, Anne’s father figure, bowed his head respectfully.

    “There is no need to honor me with such honorifics.”

    “That’s right. You can just add your name.”

    “Then… .”

    Craton glanced at her and cautiously opened his mouth.

    “Ellen. Today, you came to visit us because our children needed us… .”

    Yes, that’s right.

    Anne suggested using the children from the orphanage as temporary servants.

    What do the kids think?

    There was nothing to ask.

    “Oh my gosh, it’s Mom!”

    “Really?”

    The children who discovered Elin.

    He stopped playing on the playground and came running over, laughing brightly.

    Is it because it’s been two years since you came?

    The children had really grown up.

    “What are you talking about? Where is your mom… Huh!”

    A girl playing with children.

    Julie, the little girl who wished Luke were her father, was horrified.

    “Hey! What did Mom say! The director said we should call him hero now! ”

    Then he quickly caught the children running away.

    2 years ago.

    -Then will my mom do it for me?

    Due to a minor misunderstanding on Julie’s part, Elin once declared that she would become everyone’s mother.

    Everyone liked it back then.

    The big headed kids knew better.

    That I really shouldn’t think of Ellen as my mother.

    I’m saying that we should be grateful that we’re receiving so much support just because it’s the orphanage that Anne came from.

    Julie, a 15-year-old girl, also knew this.

    A worthless orphan with a national hero as a mother.

    How absurd is this?

    Julie, holding onto her children tightly, blushes as she recalls her past mistakes.

    “Guys. Don’t make a fuss, I’m talking about something important.”

    Kraton scolded the children harshly.

    The director usually has a warm impression.

    Today, there was nothing I could do.

    Even when she was the youngest princess of Bertain, she was still that high up.

    Now, it’s so amazing that it’s hard to even make eye contact.

    “Ugh… .”

    Ellen didn’t like that.

    In fact, saving the world was a secondary matter.

    The demon was sealed just to save Luke.

    And yet, I’m being treated like this even though I saved the world.

    “Yes, I think the kids will need as many as possible.”

    Ellen just locked eyes with Julie.

    “So I’ll ask you directly. Julie?”

    “What? Huh?!”

    Julie hiccupped, not expecting to be singled out.

    “Mom needs help. Do you know any kids who are good at cleaning?”

    Knock knock knock.

    Julie blinked.

    The same goes for the kids around me.

    How to Survive an Orphanage Chapter 1.

    Automatically casts the skill “See the Eye”.

    Apparently, the director told Elin and Luke to call him heroes.

    But Ellen so naturally called herself ‘Mom’.

    The taller person here is, of course, Elin.

    Does that mean…?

    “There’s no one here who can’t clean!”

    The promise Ellin made two years ago still stands.

    It means that you can still consider her as everyone’s mother!

    “That, and when it comes to cleaning, I’m the most confident!”

    Julie clenched her fists and shouted.

    Even though I have a timid personality.

    I wasn’t a fool to miss this opportunity.

    Anne smiled and waved her hand.

    “Hey, there’s no one who can’t do it. At least everyone under 14 should drop out. If there are too many, it’s just complicated, right?”

    “Wow! You’re already a dedicated maid, monopolizing Mom, and you’re being so cruel!”

    A 13 year old boy booed.

    “You would have just lost if your sister hadn’t been pregnant.”

    Anne’s eyes flashed and her sharp teeth looked like a shark’s.

    “Uh, uhm… sorry.”

    A child who retreated, crushed by fear.

    Elin watched the scene quietly.

    He turned to Luke and asked.

    “Should we just move the orphanage?”

    “Yes?”

    “There’s still a lot of space left.”

    “That’s true, but.”

    “So let’s just hire them all.”

    “Are you talking about the mansion servant?”

    “Yeah. Wouldn’t it be perfect to make up for the lack of personnel with children?”

    Elin shook her stupid hair as if to say, “Isn’t that a good idea?”

    “Anyway, everything here is mine.”

    His gaze swept over the children.

    “They are all my children too.”

    Twinkle twinkle-

    The children’s eyes shine brightly.

    It was meant to be used as a servant.

    Even that is appreciated.

    Those were such sweet words to the orphans.

    Grew up as an orphan in the land of heroes.

    And if you can work in a mansion, what greater honor can there be?

    “Wait a minute. There’s one thing I need to make clear.”

    Luke was in favor of moving the orphanage.

    That’s easier to manage too.

    As Ellen said, we might be able to hire some servants.

    but.

    “Are you going to keep using this title?”

    There’s something wrong with the kids calling Ellen “Mom.”

    I didn’t know that Elin and I would become like this before, so I just left it alone.

    “What would you do if a child was born between us?”

    This is an issue that cannot be covered up before a wedding.

    When children are born, they will never be treated equally.

    I was worried that the orphanage children would get hurt later.

    “Hmm, then I’ll do it like this.”

    Unlike Luke, who whispers seriously.

    Elin thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

    “Guys, sorry. As you all know, Mommy is going to marry Dad soon. Then they’ll have lots of kids, right?”

    “Ugh.”

    “What.”

    The children were paralyzed by the overly direct remark.

    “… … ”

    Luke was also flustered and speechless.

    Ellen continued speaking without paying any attention.

    “To be honest, I don’t think I can treat the child I had with my dad the same way as you guys.”

    “Yeah, I guess so.”

    “It’s okay…!”

    Although he says it’s okay.

    The children’s expressions became a little gloomy.

    Even though I knew it in my head, hearing it directly felt different.

    “Still.”

    But Ellen’s words were not over yet.

    “You can keep calling me mom.”

    “… … ?”

    “If we’re being precise, I’m going to be your employer now. But calling you master is too formal.”

    Ellen shrugged and poked Luke.

    “Is this okay, honey?”

    “If it’s just a title… .”

    Still, I was worried.

    Rather, it could be more toxic to only call them parents.

    “Okay, Mom!”

    “I’ll get the cleaning supplies right away!”

    But the children’s expressions came back to life.

    From the very beginning, when everyone was called a mother, there was not a single child who truly desired parental love.

    Just someone who continues to care about you.

    And I just needed someone close to me that I could call ‘Mom’.

    Up until now, Elin has continued to take care of the orphanage after purchasing it.

    Outside teachers can also come in and receive training.

    The building was also expanded, and now two people were living in one room.

    Wasn’t the restoration of the orphanage entirely thanks to Elin’s help?

    Even if I spend my whole life repaying your kindness, it won’t be enough.

    The conditions Ellen set were so radical that they were almost gracious.

    “Really… you’re amazing, Ellin.”

    Anne was amazed.

    They said they needed people to help with cleaning, so they asked me to bring some kids to help out temporarily.

    But not only did they move the orphanage to the territory, they also hired everyone.

    It was like promising jobs to kids who had nothing.

    “And you want to call me mom too?”

    “Yes?”

    “I’m sorry, but that’s not possible. Anne is older than me.”

    “Huh, no. Haha.”

    Anne is at a loss.

    I laughed in vain for a while at the unimaginable misunderstanding.

    “I don’t want to call a little kid ‘Mom’ either?”

    “I’m not a kid anymore.”

    “Hmm… I guess that’s right?”

    A remark made while openly looking at the chest.

    For a moment, Ellin felt a surge of emotion and stood upright.

    I was speechless when I saw Anne’s huge, violent breasts.

    While swallowing my anger and grumbling.

    “Just, that. It’s an unconscionable thing to say.”

    Anne scratched her eyeball and smiled awkwardly.

    “Do you remember when you said you’d make me your exclusive maid for life?”

    “… Yeah.”

    “That, that. I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I can do that. If I could, I’d really like to serve Elin-sama for the rest of my life, right? But the situation is this… .”

    A long and rambling speech that is unusual for Anne.

    In other words, it meant that he was that sorry.

    “So what are you trying to say?”

    Ellen cut Anne off as she continued to speak.

    From the time Anne became Madame Pirandello, I thought it would be difficult to keep her as my exclusive maid.

    There are also cases where the exclusive maid is a nobleman.

    That’s the daughter of a baron or a writer.

    I can’t keep taking in my wife, Pirandello, one of the three great swordsmen.

    Besides, Anne is now pregnant.

    “Well, I think it would be a good idea to have Julie as your exclusive maid from now on.”

    “Yes, yes, net… ?!”

    Julie’s eyes, which had been quietly rolling, grew wide as if they were going to pop out.

    “He may be timid, but he’s very skilled.”

    “That, that, that’s not right… .”

    “The kids are the best at watching too. Right, Director?”

    “That’s right. I was playing with the kids just now, so I’ll give it to you.”

    “Ugh… … .”

    Julie’s face turned red.

    Pushik – the appearance of steam escaping from the head.

    “What do you think, Julie? If it’s burdensome, you can refuse.”

    Ellen asked Julie, her eyes spinning.

    If you’ve even received the recognition of Anne and Kraton, then your skills are certain.

    Do you think you can force someone to do something they don’t want to do?

    “Ha, I want to do it!”

    … wasn’t there.

    Julie shouted confidently with a red face.

    “You can clean, do laundry, and take care of children well! Even if you have two children, you can play with them by yourself!!”

    It seemed like he didn’t hate it, just felt embarrassed.

    “Well, pass.”

    “Honey. I just said I passed because you said I could entertain ten people… .”

    “Please take care of me from today?”

    Elin, ignoring Luke’s words, rustled her hair.

    Exactly.

    A portal to the realm was opened.

    “Then shall we all move? Mom and Dad’s schedules are a little busy, you know.”

    I must have also recruited two servants for the new territory.

    Now all that was left was the wedding.
