Chapter 4: Crumb's Little Trick
Heliga wasn't sure if the other party had any misunderstanding about his side? I have long been accustomed to the little pranks of the Philippines from time to time these days, and I am already familiar with dealing with this set.
But the pair next door...... It seems to be a man and a woman who are a couple, but the sportswear girl with two ponytails is so anxious that her cheeks are red at the moment, and the black-haired boy on the side helplessly scoops up a spoonful of saffron risotto and puts it into the girl's mouth-
"Ah, it's delicious. The chef of the Hakunoki Lotus Pavilion is indeed top-notch......" the slurred girl said muttered as she chewed the food in her mouth. The black-haired boy on the side looked at Heiliga a little depressed, and his eyes were clearly seeking recognition of his helplessness......
Seeing this, Heiliga seemed to understand what the black-haired boy in front of him was trying to express, and he nodded sympathetically.
"What's wrong?" Faye was keenly aware that Helliga seemed to be interacting with the dark-haired teenager in some way.
"Nothing, it's just...... Kind of understands what happened to him. Heiliga obviously pointed, but Fei didn't understand what was going on at all, and the silver-haired girl opened her cherry mouth again, "Ah~"
"Come on, I'll feed you first and then think about myself." Heliga sighed softly, he had given up on being able to eat the freshly baked lunch, so it was better to feed the greedy cat in front of him first. Thinking like this, Heiliga patiently watched as Fei Mei swallowed the second bite, and was holding the spoon to feed the next bite of food into Fei's mouthβ
"Hah! It's so delicious! The girl with two ponytails on the side sighed loudly as if no one was around, smiling and patting her belly with satisfaction, "That cup of vanilla tea is also sweet...... The sea breeze is very comfortable, and I feel that my body is warm, and I want to sleep......"
"If you sleep when you're full, you'll easily get fat like a pig," the black-haired boy reminded her......, "but it's not a bad thing to just take a nap once in a while." β
"Well, if it's really a trip, I really want to sleep here......" The girl lowered her face and said sullenly, "However, we still have to rush to the association branch in Lu'an, and then go through the formalities, right?" β
"It's rare that Estelle prioritizes work." The brunette boy immediately complained.
"Oh, you...... I'm an older sister, isn't it a matter of course to take care of my younger brother? The girl, who immediately puffed up her chest proudly, ignored the depressed expression of the black-haired boy next to her, and walked down the stairs of the lookout on her own, "Let's go, Joshua." β
"Okay, good ......," the brunette boy agreed, and immediately followed.
"What did they just say about the Luan Branch?" Heliga wondered a little, "Is it a new guerrilla?" β
"It's too young." Fei also observed the two of them from the side, "It's only a few years older than us...... Maybe it's a quasi-guerrilla. Look at them like this, they are walking through the mountain trail to the north. β
"Is it also a traveling duo?" Heiliga sighed, if there is a chance, I would like to chat with the two of them and exchange their experiences-
"Ahh Heiliga, who was thinking like this, suddenly heard the exclamation of a girl not far away, and through the sound, you could immediately recognize that this was the voice of the girl with a double ponytail who was eating here just now, Heiliga and Fei were taken aback, and immediately ran down, only to see that the girl was scratching her hair in annoyance, and the black-haired boy on the side was a little crying and laughing: "Estelle, look carefully, did you put it in the package?" β
"What's wrong, two?" Heliga asked, it didn't look dangerous.
"Ah......" Seeing the acquaintance who had just met each other, Joshua explained what had happened: "Her medals for quasi-guerrillas are missing...... Do you have any clues? β
"The one she wore on her chest just now?" As a former hunter, Fei is naturally extremely sensitive to the organizational symbol of the guerrilla association, which is a sworn enemy, and can remember it clearly just by casually scanning it, "I don't have the impression that I fell there just now." β
"Sure enough......," Joshua turned to Estelle, "I don't want to believe it, but it looks like the boy who just bumped into you stole your guerrilla badge." β
"You, what do you say!" Astelle was taken aback, "Why did he take my badge?" β
"That's right...... If a child takes it, it's useless, and there's a high chance of prank......" Joshua nodded.
"Ahh Damn it! If I catch you, you must teach that nasty imp a good lesson! β
"Well, two, though a little presumptuous......" Regardless of Estell, who was venting her frustration on the sidelines, Joshua turned to the duo of Faye and Helriga again, "but do you know of a little boy in a beret?" He and the girl you just talked to are friends......"
ββ¦β¦ Crum? Phet and Heligah read the name Joshua described in unison.
"Crum?" Joshua repeated the name.
"Hmm. However, he was not a child from the village, but an adopted child from the orphanage in Marcia, east of the village. You can find it by walking along the Meiwei Sea Road...... Was it Cram who stole her badge? Heliga was a little unconvinced, he didn't think the children in the orphanage were like that.
"That's right, it's him." Joshua was sure, "Estelle collided with him head-on, and after that her guerrilla badge was gone...... turning to Estelle, "You heard it all, let's go to the orphanage." β
ββ¦β¦ Let's go back too, shall we? Faye yawned slightly, and Helriga, who immediately noticed this, immediately asked. After receiving an affirmative reply, Helliga also turned to the partisan duo: "We are currently staying at that orphanage, and in fact we are planning to go back now...... If you don't dislike it, we'll take you there. β
"Thank you so much." Joshua smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm Joshua Bright, this is Estelle Bright, we are quasi-guerrillas, and we are currently preparing to join the Luan branch to assist in the work. β
"Oh......" In fact, the conversation between the two just now has already explained all this information, Hailiga thought to himself, "My name is Hailiga, this is Fei, we are warriors from the empire, and we are currently traveling around the surrounding countries to practice." β

"Crumb, where were you just now?" Mary pouted and asked, "Sister Klos is worried, looking for you everywhere!" β
"Don't worry, Mary, don't worry, I'm going out with Brother Heliga and Sister Fei." Crumb shook his head triumphantly, "Compared to this, I've gained a lot today!" Got a super thing! β
"What is it?" Danielle, who heard the movement, also leaned over and asked curiously.
"Hehe, don't be surprised!" Crumb smiled mysteriously, "I got this thing from a big sister who didn't have a brain......"
"You, who do you say are mindless!" The shouts of the girl were heard in the distance, and the children looked up, Brother Helliga and Sister Faye had returned with two older siblings they knew, and the two-ponytail sister she didn't know was looking angrily at Crum, who was a little panicked at the moment.
"Oops......" Crumb bit his lip.
