As a result, we had a feast for lunch and dinner that day .
The administration of the orphanage was sketchy, but the liveliness of the children went to show that the environment was fine .
Continuing the subsidy payments shouldn’t be a problem .
“Well… not like being so energetic is an issue . ”
I was rolling around alone in bed .
In truth, I wanted to run away before dinner but the children grabbed hold of me and threw a tantrum crying all the while .
It was so bad that even Cortina felt sorry and started crying as well .
Eventually, Cortina persuaded me to rest in bed as she spends the night in the garden .
Even so, the room we were given was pretty basic .

But they’re the same with the priest .
It was a problem to hear that a celebrity like us were going to camp out in the garden .
Eventually, it was decided that another room would be prepared, I couldn’t help feeling sorry about the extra burden .
And then suddenly I remembered why I came on this trip in the first place .
I had come with the expectation to redo my proposal to Cortina .
However, I spend the day being dragged around by the children .
“What the h.e.l.l man, I didn’t do anything!”
Luckily there’s still time .
It’s past the kids’ bedtime but Cortina should still be up at this hour .
I got up and walked to the room where Cortina was staying .
I used the lamplight to walk down the corridor and down the stairs to the chapel .
The boy’s rooms were on the east side of the chapel while the girl’s rooms were on the west .
They took care to prevent childhood indiscretions by strictly marking off each gender’s area like this .
A shady guy sneaking into the girl’s dormitories trying to erase his presence .
If someone were to catch me in this situation, I’d be in danger of losing my t.i.tle of Hero .
Even so, I’m disregarding that danger, all for the sake of meeting her .

“Huh, if it isn’t Reid . Wh-what are you doing here at this hour?”
I spot someone acting suspiciously, though it’s the same for me .
It’s like they were sneaking into someone’s room .
“Same to you Cortina, what are you doing at the chapel at this hour?”
I’d forgotten about it earlier, but the truth is my mind’s been a mess after the rejection a few days ago .
Thanks to the children’s frankness, I was able to not think about it at all during the day but now that it’s just the two of us, it’s the only thing on my mind .
I want to make up as much as possible but for now, I just keep turning over Cortina’s question .
“I’m not that tired . ”
“Th-that so?”
We somehow lose our words when we’re together and stay silent .
A dark chapel with the starlight falling through the window .
It’s like a scene from a play .
“S, Say Reid…”
Cortina who usually gives out orders decisively started speaking bashfully .
But my ears caught something else .
A faint screaming voice .
“Hold on, something is…”
“Wha?”
I stop Cortina with my hand so it’s quiet enough I could hear a pin drop .
Just then, I picked up a m.u.f.fled scream .
“Gasp!”
“There, did you hear that Tina!?”
“Uh, Wha, but I didn’t hear anything…”
Cortina notices something’s up with me and tries to figure out what’s going on without asking for an explanation .
I looked towards where I heard the voice and saw a hidden pa.s.sage under the chapel’s rostrum .
“What’s a hidden pa.s.sage doing here?”
“We thought this orphanage was fine, but this is a pretty big problem isn’t it?”
You don’t put a hidden pa.s.sage somewhere unless you have something to hide .
Orphanages tend to be hotbeds for things like human trafficking .
They can especially become a den full of a certain type of degenerate .
“We have to investigate . ”
“Yeah, I’ll take point . ”
The request was an orphanage inspection so both of us only had the most basic of equipment .
I was only carrying civilian clothes my favorite mythril thread and some training gauntlets .
Cortina meanwhile only brought a wand to a.s.sist in her chanting .

Even so, we can’t just ignore the screams .
There are a bunch of defenseless children here .
If they’re in danger, we have to rush to help them as soon as possible .
The hidden pa.s.sage led underground, after moving forward a bit we found a torch set up .
It seems to be set up away from the entrance so the light wouldn’t leak out and the pa.s.sage wouldn’t be found out .
I advanced forward while keeping my threads at the ready and using my stealth gift to hide our presence .
I couldn’t completely remove my presence since Cortina was with me .
As long as we’re together it would be meaningless .
There was a door with light leaking through the gaps out of it at the end of the pa.s.sage .
At that point, the child’s scream rang out again .
“Reid!”
“Yeah!”
This time it was Cortina who reacted immediately to the voice .
The scream came from a girl, the same girl Cortina had spent the day with .
I could only keep thinking “What if she’s hurt?” .
I couldn’t think that there were the screams of a kid playing around during the day .
Judging there wasn’t a moment to lose, I kicked the door open and ready my threads .
There I found a gleeful priest standing over a girl’s corpse .
