TDADP chapter 213: I don’t know

「Wait, Wait~」

「Nooo」

「Eii」

「Moo～uu, where are you throwing!」

Children were playing around in the orphanage garden. It was lively with children playing chase, with Yuu’s handmade flying discs and even water polo created by Lena.

「Lena, are you okay?」

Marifa calls out to Lena, who controls the water polo with sweat on her face.

「......Don’t talk to me. This magic operation requires precise control」

「What is it? That speaking style」

Marifa wipes off Lena’s sweat with a handkerchief. Marifa, who noticed that Nina was watching, walked away from Lena as if nothing happened to her and said 「Nina-san, what is it? You express such a nasty smile」.

「Lena, that water polo has little magic power. You’re pouring too much in that」

「......I know」

Lena, whose magic power is pointed out by Yuu, controls the magical power of 100 water polos that the children use to play. If you put too much magic into the water polo, it will become hard and the children playing with the water polo may get injured. On the other hand, if the magic power is low, the water polo is easily broken and the children are immersed in water. Although it is required to maintain exquisite magic power control, if a normal rear guard tries to control five water polo, they won’t be able to maintain the water polo since their concentration won’t be able to keep up. Lena maintains a hundred water polos. Although it is a water polo, there are various shapes and sizes that form a sphere. You will be able to see how unusual and advanced it is.

Yuu´s group is now in the orphanage in the slums of Comer City. Yuu came to see the orphanage on a regular basis and received a recent report from Sister.

「Sister, how have you been lately?」

「Thanks to Yuu-san, everyone is growing up well」

Sister thanks Yuu and bows her head while watching the children running around in the shade of the trees.

「It’s good to compliment. What about those guys who go to the orphanage?」

Yuu is stroking the head of Momo napping on his lap and looks for the sister to see if she is in trouble.

「It’s not flattery. Really...... how much it has been improved considering the state of the former orphanage......」

Tears appear in the eyes of the sister who remembered the children who died starving, and the sister wipes her tears in panic.

「No, I’m sorry. There’s nothing I’m in trouble with right now. Even if strange people come, Einal-san´s people will get rid of them right away. But if I can say something so selfish, the children want to play more with Yuu-san and the others. I want you to come more often」

「I’m too busy. I have to clean up soon」

「Well. I’m not going to do that, but I’m good at cleaning」

「No, Sister’s meaning of cleaning and mine is――」

When Yuu is worried about how to explain to the sister who is in trouble, Namari rushes here from the circle of children.

「Odono-sama!」

When Yuu catches Namari who jumped into his chest, Momo, who slept on his knees, wakes up and makes a big yawn.

「Everyone is hungry」

「Is it already snack time? Nonetheless, I’m going to make stone-baked potatoes today」

When Yuu stands up, the slave maid apprentices prepare an iron pan with a large lid and needless to say, begin collecting small stones. When enough stones have gathered, Tin and others will spread the stones in the pot and heat them up. Then they place sweet potatoes on the heated stone and heat them for a while. Within an hour, sweet scents are emitted from sweet potatoes and children caught by the smells gather.

「That?」

The children are lined up in order, but it’s strange that Tin doesn’t seem to be handing out the stone-baked potatoes at all... However, Namari, who was also waiting for his turn notices.

「The small kids first!」

Although they were gaping children, the older children quickly understood the meaning of Namari’s words. The heads of the children lined up were older children and large children.

「He, Hey, you can line up first」

「Older brother, is it okay?」

「Don’t worry about that, look. You line up in front of me」

「Wa～ii, thank you」

「Emm, older sister?」

「It’s okay. The little ones should go ahead」

The younger group doesn’t understand why the older kids give up their turn, but when they are urged to go forward by their older brothers and older sisters, they are willing to proceed.

「Yeah. Be kind to weak children. Otherwise, Master and I will be angry」

「She is a strong person from the beastmen」

Tin is happy to hand out the stone-baked potatoes when the younger group comes forward. The tiger girl Mepora, who also started distributing stone-baked potatoes, seemed unconvinced by the customs different from the beastmen but was warned by the wolf girl Grafira who was beside them to say nothing extra.

「The young group will be separated, so come here too」

「Butter and salt are added over here」

The fox girl Ariane hands out stone-baked potatoes to the young children who are still uncertain and the racoon girl Pokori sprinkles them with butter and salt.

「Delic～ious」

「Yeah! It smells good」

「It’s delicious!」

Children who are stuck with the stone-baked potatoes express the deliciousness by fluttering their bodies.

「Thanks to Odono-sama. This sweet potato is grown in Odono-sama’s garden and is not sold at ordinary shops」

「Ye, Yeah. Older brother Yuu is amazing!」

「You only need to know」

A demi-human woman wipes the mouth of a child who has soiled her mouth, washing and teaching her to honor Yuu.

「Yuu-oniicha～n」

A young girl with pink hair rushes to Yuu from the children in several rows, but Tin blocks her way.

「Hey? What’s wrong, older sister?」

「You’re a dwarf, aren’t you? It’s hard to believe you can fool me like that」

Both fists of Tin were fitted with large gloves that were several times larger than the gloves that practitioners can put into practice.

「Eii」

Contrary to Tin’s lovely voice, a giant glove attacks the girl with a roar.

「Waa, Waa」

Although the girl was surprised by the exaggeration, Tin’s fist cuts the sky.

「Older sister, it’s terrible to hit me all of a sudden」

The little girl jokes by putting her tongue out but notices that her body does not move.

「Ahhhh? Why isn’t my body moving?」

「Be prepared to be caught in my steel thread!」

A number of threads were protruding from the bottom of the small spider that Vanamo manipulated. The end of the thread is connected to the thread that naturally restrains the girl. Despite all this commotion, Yuu was still handing out stone-baked potatoes to the children. The children around are wondering if they are playing something while eating the stone-baked potatoes.

「Tin, Melanie!」

「I know. Let’s do it」

「Okay」

As Tin slams the glove, Melanie steps on the ground with her limbs and strengthens her body as if a catgirl is attacking its prey.

「Yes, I see. This thread is not just a simple thread」

The girl tries to escape from the thread, but the thread doesn’t jump and on the contrary, it strengthens the power to restrain the girl.

「That’s natural! No one can escape from the steel thread that older sister and I have selected and raised!」

「Vanamo, don’t be stupid to reveal your hands」

「Ol, Older sister, I’m sorry」

When everyone thought that the girl gave up that the restraint did not loosen no matter how much force she put in――

「Wh, What happened!?」

The girl who looked like a child in the neighborhood transformed into a figure wearing an armor in an instant. Under the armor of the girl wearing the armor, the string of steel that had been shredded was scattered.

「Ah, I’m sorry. It seems that my earth spirit moved without permission」

「Who are you?」

Tin and the others sat down, and Marifa comes forward.

「I? Nice to meet you, I’m Tropi Ton, who is the leader of the 『Red Meteor』 clan」

The girl with pink hair says so, introducing herself with her index finger on her cheek. To that, Marifa and the maids are also frustrated.

「Although the matter with the 『Red Meteor』 should have already ended」

「It looks like, but it was while I wasn’t the leader. You made trouble for Delido-kun, wasn’t it?」

「Do you want to be humiliated again?」

「Ahaha. Around this orphanage. What do you do when I say that the children I raised by my hands aren’t B-ranks like Sorunme-kun and are hidden?」

Tropi looks at Yuu, who is still not trying to look at her, as Yuu is still busy with dealing with the children and has never tried to see Tropi.

「Are you going to threaten me? Well then――」

「Ah, stop, stop」

「That’s good. ......Stop?」

「Yeah, I stop. Because Yuu-chan doesn’t take an interest in me. Ah, it’s boring」

Tropi inflates her cheeks and walks towards Yuu. At that time, the armor worn by Tropi disappears as particles of light. From behind, Marifa chases 「Please wait」.

「You, Odono-sama´s enemy?」

One black slime overflowed from the two horns of Namari.

「Namari, Master´s permission, to use force quickly」

「Nana be silent!」

「Chibi-san, I am not an enemy?」

「Really? Hmm? Chibi!? I’m not a Chibi!!」

「Namari, is a Chibi」

「Nana!」

Namari, who is treated as a small child gets angry and Nana, one of the black slimes, starts a quarrel.

「Is Yuu-oniichan not interested in me?」

「Who is your older brother. You’re a dwarf. Even if you pretend to be a kid, there’s no point in hiding that fist spittoon. Tin was quick to expose you」

「Fist spittoon? Ah, I see, I see. It’s like saying to yourself that you’re a suspicious person」

「Stay away from Master」

「No, I still have something to talk about」

「If there’s a story, I’ll be the one listening」

「Eh, you’re no good」

A dangerous sign leaked from Marifa, but Tropi didn’t care at all.

「I. I was in the capital before this and people from the finance minister faction invited me to become a subordinate」

It was Tropi that looked at Yuu, but Yuu is not interested because Namari’s messy hair is trimmed with a hand comb.

「Now. It seems like they´re gathering a lot of adventurers and mercenaries. I wonder how many people are there now? But they don’t step into Comer city」

「Why is that so?」

「I also don’t understand」

Blue veins appear on Marifa’s temple because of Tropi´s frolic attitude.

「Is it Muss?」

「Bingo!! To be exact, the ten freeloaders of Count Muss are watching the main roads leading from the capital city to Comer City, so the private soldiers hired by the finance minister are not perfect. And why does the finance minister know that not only you...... but Count Muss is also aiming?」

「Why?」

「I don’t know」

「Th, This」

「Ol, Older sister, please calm down. There’s a wrinkle between your eyebrows」

Vanamo soothes Marifa. It is Tropi that sends a glance to Yuu, but Yuu seems not to be interested again and begins to brush Coro with a magic brush. With so much comfort, Coro has an ecstatic expression, but then someone looks at it. Marifa is staring at Coro with icy eyes. Coro continues to endure, swaying between fear and pleasure.

「Tsk. I want you to be interested in me a little more. The finance minister wants to incorporate Count Muss into his faction. But Count Muss doesn’t seem to want to give him the nod. I have been doing it for a long time, but it appears that it has no effect at all, well, I understand the feelings of the finance minister. It’s also because of the finance minister that Count Muss can be a Count」

「What does that mean?」

「I don’t know」

This time Marifa didn’t speak. Vanamo screams 「Hii」 this time and tries to attack with bloodthirst.

「When Muss’s father was revolting, the finance minister protected Muss from any harm. However, it is abnormal that the son can take over the title of Count as it is because his father caused a rebellion to the king of one country and there was a statement from the finance minister」

As Yuu began talking to Tropi, Marifa was discouraged from attacking.

「What. Yuu-oniichan, already knew it? Yes, that’s right. Count Muss’s family wasn’t charged with a crime, but only the territory has been cut down, and the throne was intact, so we´re talking about how much power the Finance Minister has. The finance minister who has such a powerful power, there is a person who is targeted besides Count Muss. Do you know Yuu-oniichan?」

Tropi asks Yuu in a mean way, but Yuu starts brushing Ran this time.

「Moouu! Yuu-oniichan, I’m invited by the Finance Minister faction, you know? I think it’s better to bring me to your side」

Although it was Tropi that turned around and took a fixed pose, Yuu continued brushing Ran. Did she feel sorry for Tropi who was left in a fixed pose? Or did she sympathize with her height? Lena, who had been silent and watching what happened, slapped Tropi on the shoulder.

「......Don’t worry about that」

「I have breasts」

When Tropi holds her own chest, she bounds them to show off to Lena.

「......!!?」

The upset Lena sends a glance to ask Tin and Vanamo for help.

「Lena-chan, Vanamo and I have breasts」

「He, Hey! Tin, ah, wait, don’t rub my breasts, stop!!」

Lena falls on her knees on the ground. When has she ever felt such a sense of defeat? With so much humiliation, Lena hugs her body to hold her trembling. At that time, someone slapped Lena’s shoulder.

「Lena, it’s just annoying even if you have breasts?」

Lena was afraid of Marifa who smiled like a virgin.

「Go home now」

「Yuu-oniichan, can I meet you again?」

「We won’t meet again」

「Meany!」

Tropi sticks her tongue out towards Yuu and runs away.

「What was that? She’s like a bad girl」

「......My heart was deeply hurt」

---------------------------

「Tropi-san, are you okay?」

「It’s fine」

「But if we keep going like this, we’re going to turn the Finance Minister into an enemy, right?」

There were five men and women on the left and right of Tropi who walked toward the main street from the slum where the orphanage existed. These five were the elite of the 『Red Meteor』 that was raised over the hand salt that Tropi said earlier.

「Derido-kun thought about making the clan bigger, and he often collided with me」

「He?」

One of the confused men suddenly makes a foolish remark. Any member of the Red Meteor knows that Tropi, the leader, and Derido, the deputy leader, are in bad relations.

「Derido-kun seems to think that if the clan is enlarged, the predecessor will come back, but I want to be a little more elite than making it unnecessarily big. But Derido-kun and I want to protect 『Red Meteor』. The feelings are the same’」

「If that’s the case――」

「Therefore he told me not to become Yuu-oniichan´s enemy」

Tropi speaks to the man’s shadow. Then Nina crawls out from the shadow.

「Since when!」

「Be careful, she is 『Nameless』 Nina!」

「Nina-chan, please go back and tell him properly」

Nina looked at Tropi with a smile and stared at her for a while, but eventually, she disappeared and returned to the orphanage.

「If I had been fighting Yuu-oniichan a while ago, what would have happened? The maids except for Marifa and the other girls could be ignored, but I think the rest of the time I would have difficulties. Especially that demi-human child, Namari-chan was it? That’s a monster. Don’t be hostile. I have a responsibility as the leader to protect 『Red Meteor』」

There was no objection from the five people who Tropi brought up under her personal care. This is because the confessor who puts absolute trust has never said so far that he must not be hostile. And there was another reason why Tropi was not hostile to Yuu.

--------------------------

Next day. Yuu is reading a picture book to the children in the garden of the orphanage.

「Yuu-oniichan! I came to see you!!」

「Why are you coming?」

Tropi liked young boys more than adult men.

Author note 『Red Meteor』 Solid´s name has been changed to Solum. (I will correct the uncorrected part later) The reply of the impression has been delayed, but this will be gradually made after there is room.
