Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

"Bang~"

Simple fireworks were opened in the church, sprinkling out sparkling colorful particles, decorating the candlelight-lit environment hazy and dreamy.

"I declare that tonight's party fun begins!"

Standing on a high chair, Ruby announced loudly and cheerfully with a microphone made of paper, and then raised two fingers high. It was like a signal. Fireworks exploded in the hall one after another, and all kinds of gorgeous lights The dots fell and the children cheered one after another.

The long table in the middle of the hall was now filled with all kinds of prepared delicacies. The most eye-catching one was the five-layer cake in the middle. There was a red gemstone apple on the top of the cake, which was particularly beautiful.

These are the special extraordinary apples that were specially ordered at the time of purchase and will be given to the children in the church as prizes tonight.

Surrounding the cake in the middle are various delicacies, including golden and crispy lamb shanks sprinkled with cumin spices, thousand-layer meat pie with a hot aroma, and melon slices that are as clear as emeralds and as mellow as milk. There are cod fish soup, fried and crispy dumplings, grilled vegetable strips sprinkled with seasonings, and a variety of delicious and refreshing drinks. The various colors are put together like a rainbow.

Tilan's group of twelve people, the children in the church, and Pastor Boyce all gathered in the church hall. The pastor who used to be poor in the past also showed a rare smile today and sat at the top.

Because of the help of Valk and others, today he can enjoy the food on the table quietly and relaxedly, instead of taking care of the children in the church all the time as usual.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you angels, thank you to this wonderful world for allowing us to get together here." He raised the small wine glass, then sipped it, and the wrinkles on his brows relaxed a lot.

"You've worked hard, Pastor, just relax tonight." Valk stood beside him, patted his back, and suggested amidst the noisy laughter.

"Ah... I will, I will, Valk, you are very good, you have grown up." The pastor looked at Valk, who was taller than himself, and there seemed to be some warm liquid in his eyes.

The hesitation, anxiety, shame, self-abasement, and uneasiness that he had experienced for many years were finally slowly healed at this moment, and his past efforts finally paid off, allowing him to feel at ease.

Everything he did was not without effect, it was also valuable and meaningful. Thinking of this, he sat on the chair and slowly leaned back on the chair, and his body gradually relaxed.

The hilarious scene in front of me became hazy and blurry under the influence of tears, but the splendid hall full of candlelight and the sounds of laughter were so beautiful.

Yes, what I do has some value after all. Even if there are children who die in the process, there are children who leave, there are children who hate me, there are children who resent me, but at least at this moment, I no longer regret it.

After all, I am just a mortal, and it is a rare blessing to have today's happy gathering. The loss more than ten years ago, the mistakes made along the way, the uneasiness and shame, and the anxiety and hesitation that followed have finally been ironed out slowly.

"There are no regrets anymore..." When this thought came to mind, the fatigue accumulated over the years slowly came into his heart, and he no longer resisted, slowly letting this feeling overwhelm him.

During the children's chirping dinner party, various sounds filled the hall. Ruby and several companions sat among the children, guiding and taking care of them, watching them compete in boxing competitions, competing with each other to see who could win. Get to the first place and get the red gem apple on top of the cake.

"Haha, I won~" The winning child raised his arms high, his face was still stained with cream, and his other hand was holding the uneaten chicken leg.

"Ugh, lose it." The child opposite sat on the chair in despair, and the roasted ham in his arms no longer smelled good.

"It's okay, there are many delicious things to eat~" Ruby on the side shook the bell on her wrist to attract the child's attention, and then handed him a cup of light green and mellow fruit milk.

"Thank you, Sister Ruby~" After drinking the delicious drink, the smile appeared on the child's face again.

On the other side, the gentle black-haired Tilan was sitting on a chair holding a picture book, telling the stories in it to the children around her, and her voice, even in such a noisy environment, was so clear, as if Just whisper directly into your ear. Listening to her telling stories, the children who were holding food and eating sometimes gradually forgot to continue because of the vividness of the story.

Opposite the long table, Jin Senke flipped the light toy gun in his hand and introduced it to the children around him. Then he raised it and fired at the target hanging on the wall. Then there were a few soft pops and a few sponge bullets were fired. on top.

"I want to play, give it to me, big brother~"

"I want to play too~" The children were scrambling for the first place, not even thinking about a sumptuous dinner.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I have a lot, haha." As he spoke, Jin Senke took out colorful plastic toy guns from his back as if by magic, and then distributed them to the children.

At this moment when everyone was gathering, someone noticed Pastor Boyce, who was slowly leaning on the first seat.

"Master Priest, what's wrong? Wake up." Someone walked over and helped him up and shook him a few times, but it didn't seem to have any effect, so he started to panic.

This scene was noticed by others, and soon the laughter in the hall stopped, and everyone gathered around the pastor. Tilan also came to Pastor Boyce and put her fingers on his eyebrows, feeling and checking carefully.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at the concerned eyes around her before speaking.

"It's okay. The pastor is just too tired on weekdays and fell asleep now." After she finished speaking, everyone felt relieved.

"I'll send Pastor Boyce back to rest, and I'll stay by the side while everyone continues dinner." Valk stood up and suggested.

"I'll go too. I need to give the priest some simple treatment." Tilan said.

So, Valk picked up the pastor, and the two gradually walked out of the church hall, walked through the corridor, and came to the quiet room in the backyard.

After putting the pastor on the bed, Valk covered him with a thin quilt, and then asked about Tilan.

"Is the pastor really just too tired?" He didn't believe it, because when he patted the pastor's back before, he felt that the pastor's body was actually very weak and a little shaky, but he didn't expect that he could even hold the banquet tonight. Don't go there.

"It is true that he fell asleep because he was too tired, but he also accumulated a lot of problems. If he is not treated properly, various accidents may occur in the future." Tilan placed the narration above the priest, closed her eyes and muttered, and then A faint halo emerged, making the priest's sleeping breathing more steady.

"I'm going to use the calming magic formula now, which can soothe his consciousness and put him into a deep and peaceful sleep. After tonight, the situation should be much better."

"It's just that we can't let the pastor be so tired anymore." Afterwards, the two of them sat next to the pastor. While taking care of him, Valk also talked about the big and small things that happened when he was a child.

"When I was a child, I only thought that the pastor occasionally had a bad temper, or rarely cared about us. Later I discovered that he had too many things to do." Valk shook his head while looking at the sleeping pastor.

"Have you never thought about inviting someone?" Tilan asked.

"I should have thought about it, but the church is not rich and cannot afford high prices. I guess other people are not willing to come. After all, there is no future. Similar jobs are usually done by old people, and the population of this small town is only a few hundred. , there are too few, and no one is willing to come and do it.”

"I didn't think carefully before. I will use the scholarship from the academy to ask the priest to hire two more helpers. This should make it easier for him." Valk sighed.

"This should be a lot better." Tilan nodded, and then thought of other things.

"Where are the kids your age, I mean the kids who grew up, now?"

"Some of them were adopted, some went out to find work on their own, and some...maybe have gone astray."

"Because my background is not very good, my peers have limited education, and most of the jobs are not very well-paid, it is difficult to have enough money to support the church. Therefore, there has not been much increase in manpower over the years. Even I have gotten used to it and forgotten it. Now in the church Almost everything is done by the pastor alone.”

"It can't be like this from now on." He stood up and walked back and forth, conceiving the future division of labor and plans in the church.

"It's not too late to find out now. You can occasionally contact your former partners and ask them to send some emails back. Even if there is no financial support, the pastor should be very pleased to see that his former children are living a stable life now." Tilan suggested.

"These are all fine, but..." Valk thought of a familiar name.

It would be nice if he could come back. Forget it, let's stop thinking like this. He shook his head.

However, after a long silence, he slowly mentioned the name, "Actually, among our group of children, apart from me, who has the best talent, there is also a child who was once hoped for by the pastor... It's just that the subsequent development is not that good. good."

"His name is Greed, and he was once my best friend, or brother." Slowly, Valk recalled many past events.

On what day did the two people, who were originally similar, start to take different paths?

Good night ~ sweet dreams everyone
