I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

The baking of cake base is not that fast, even with the help of magic, it can't speed up the time much.

The bread will be out of the oven soon. Although this quick method will make the bread not as soft as expected, it is better than those dry black breads.

The children's eyes are not on these hot things, but on the cream in Elena's hand.

The children who are very sensitive to sweets noticed the sweet smell as soon as they came, and they stared at Elena silently.

"What are you little guys doing in the kitchen? This is not a place for you to play. If you want to play, go out and play."

Elena naturally noticed their gaze, but he would not share the cream with these children now.

Desserts should be saved for after dinner. If they are satisfied now, they won't have to eat later.

"Brother Elena, what's wrong with Sister Weiwei? Why are you cooking?"

At this time, a little girl with brown hair came over. Judging from her appearance, she was only ten years old at most.

Her name is Elsa. She is one of the few children in the orphanage whose name Elaina remembers. Because of her weak personality, Elaina seemed to be very close to her in the past, and felt like a kindred spirit.

She has some freckles on her face, and her body is thin but her face is a little chubby. This appearance looks inexplicably cute.

Especially the worry on her little face, her concern for Sister Weiwei is gratifying. Obviously, Weiwei's love for this child is not in vain.

"Sister Weiwei is sick and resting, so I will cook today's meal. If you are free, go out and clean up, but don't disturb Sister Weiwei, let her have a good sleep."

"Okay, I understand."

Elsa is also very sensible. She walked out of the kitchen with some children who were playing well. Obviously, she listened to Elaina and planned to clean up.

But there are still some children left here, most of them are boys, and they all look at Elaina with burning eyes.

Such a look made Elena a little uncomfortable. He was not as good at taking care of children as Weiwei. On the contrary, Elena actually disliked taking care of little brats.

As a war orphan, he could not play with his peers at all. The so-called friends would actually betray their existence for a piece of bread at a critical moment.

With limited food, they often competed with each other, which made Elena not have a good face for children of this age.

However, what really made him dislike children was the years when he became a mercenary. He once accepted the commission of a big man and temporarily became the other party's bodyguard, mainly protecting the big man's children.

After all, he was born in a noble family and his parents did not discipline him much. How arrogant was the attitude of the little brat? Elena was very angry just thinking about it.

For little brats, Elena mostly regarded them as naughty children, but from the overall scope of the orphanage, the saying that children of poor people grow up early makes sense. The brothers and sisters in the orphanage are relatively well-behaved and obedient.

"Brother Elena, we also want to be adventurers!"

Except now

Rubbing his painful forehead, Elena looked at the noisy boys standing beside him speechlessly.

The blond boy standing in front of him is Jack, the oldest child in the orphanage besides him and Sister Weiwei.

He is about thirteen years old this year. Although he is malnourished, he is not short. Even Elena has to raise his head slightly to meet his eyes.

After all, the majority of people here are of Western descent. They are all tall and strong. Even if they are malnourished, they are taller than Elena's petite body.

"Why do you want to be adventurers?"

He asked this question, but Elena already had a clue.

Most likely, Sister Weiwei told them Elena's story when she told them stories to coax them to sleep at night.

The quality of life in the orphanage has improved visibly recently. In the eyes of these little boys, Elena, who brought such conditions, is simply their idol.

Becoming an adventurer, earning money, and then buying lots of meat, so that everyone can live a well-fed life together, this is probably the naive idea of ​​these children.

"Because we also want to help Sister Weiwei like Brother Elena, we also want to develop the orphanage, and we also want to become strong!"

As expected, the boys shouted excitedly and naively. They had no idea how terrible the monsters outside were, and they had unrealistic dreams.

"Come on, don't think so much, one by oneYou are so skinny that only bones are left. You can't be adventurers. You will only be eaten by monsters when you go out. "

Elena waved her hand impatiently. She didn't really want to deal with ordinary children.

There are always few people like Sister Weiwei who are young but more mature than adults. Elena also prefers to talk to people like Weiwei.

"What? You stingy guy, you are obviously thinner than us! "

The little boy named Jack was not convinced by such perfunctory words. He stepped directly on Elena's minefield as soon as he opened his mouth.

The blue veins popped out from Elena's forehead. Although what the other party said was indeed correct, Elena's body now looked thinner than most people.

But such words came out of the mouth of a little kid, Elena was a little angry no matter how she heard it.

Snap!

Elena turned around and slapped Jack's forehead directly. The force was not too strong or too weak, enough to make the little kid's face full of tears.

"Wow, Elena brother bullied me, I'm going to tell Sister Weiwei!"

Although he was not too young, Jack was moved to tears by this slap. He ran outside with his nose covered and his forehead covered.

"Don't disturb Sister Weiwei. If you want to cry, go back to your room and cry. If you don't listen, be careful that I will spank you! "

Elena didn't know Vivi's gentle teaching method. He shouted at Jack fiercely, even though he would only look fierce if he pretended to be fierce.

Other children were stared at by Elena, and they fled from the kitchen in fear. They said they fled, but they soon leaned on the door and stuck their heads out.

Unlike Jack, who wanted to be an adventurer, what these children really wanted was the cream in Elena's hand.

But they also knew that it was unlikely to get these things from Elena, but they were reluctant to leave and could only watch Elena drooling.

Elena, who was very sensitive to sight, felt his scalp numb when he was looked at, but these children were just looking at him. He couldn't drive them away if they didn't come to get in the way. He could only endure the discomfort and let them watch.
