Chapter 113 - 113: Don’t Worry! I’ll Take Care Of It, Okay?
"Daddy, Princess Yui said you are Super-Ultra strong! Is that true?" Little Lili, a Demi-Human fox, asked.
"Huh?" Looking at her, Theo put on his best smile and said, "Yeah, I'm really a bit strong."
"Ohh!" Little Lili looked earnestly at him, and said, "So, then, can Daddy help older sisters Nanda and Aine deal with the villains trying to buy the Orphanage?"
"…" Theo looked at her strangely, for it was the first time he'd heard anything about someone wanting to buy the Orphanage. Especially by the way Little Lili talks, they don't seem like good people… Theo picked her up and led her to the porch, sat on a bench with her and said, "Tell me more about it."
"Okay, Lili will tell Daddy everything!" Little Lili looked at Theo seriously.
Being so young, only six to seven years old, and seeing her look so severe, Theo couldn't help but find her very cute and lovely, but still, he kept paying attention to what she was going to say since he was curious about this subject.
Still looking with sweet eyes at Theo, she began to say, "It's been a while since some people have wanted to buy the Orphanage… even a Demi-Human Coyote woman often comes here saying she will make the Orphanage no longer exist… she's very, very bad!"
Little Lili shuddered remembering her. For she remembers the look the woman gave them, it was as if their existence were worse than rubbish. It was a very unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling. Even though she is a small child, she noticed that look.
"Oh!" Theo patted her head gently as if he understood something, and he smiled at her as he said, "No need to worry about it! I'll take care of it, okay?"
Little Lili widened her eyes and put on an adorable expression of surprise and said, "Really, Daddy?!" Seeing Theo nod his head with a gentle smile, she sighed with relief. That only made Theo even more surprised, as he noticed how worried Little Lili was, despite being so young. It also showed how well the children were cared for. They were so happy to be looked after by Aine and Nanda.
Seeing that Theo had nodded… tears of happiness streamed down her little eyes, and she said with a lovely smile: "I'm so happy! Thank you, Daddy! Although I've never met my parents, I'm thrilled to have the Prince as my Daddy for a week!" She cried out loud when she finished speaking.
That display wrenched Theo's heart. If there was one thing that he couldn't stand, it was to see such young children suffer so much… although she was not really his daughter, they all had a lot of affection for the children of the Orphanage, because they were just so kind at heart.
Because of this, although the time he spent with them was short, he had already built genuine affection for them. Theo couldn't bear to let them be sad like that. Even more, since he has the power to change that, now that he understands why the older girls in the Orphanage were so excited about setting up the Weapon Shop…
But he was even more amazed that even though they knew how strong he was, they didn't try to use it against the people who are putting pressure on them.
Theo hugged Little Lili's little body and waited for her to calm down, then wiped the tears from her cheeks and said, "No need to cry anymore, okay? I won't let them bully you anymore!"
Little Lili shook her hands tightly and nodded, "R-Right…"
While entertaining the other children, Yuki, who was not far from them, was able to hear all of Theo's conversation with Little Lili. She had a charming smile upon her face after seeing that Theo decided to help them.
Little Yui, who saw Yuki smiling, approached her and asked: "Mommy?! You're happy too because Dad decided to help the Orphanage?"
Yuki said with a smile, "Yes, I am!"
"Oh! Yui wants to help them too!" Little Yui said.
"Okay, but don't do anything alone, okay? We'll only protect them if someone tries to bring them harm, okay?" Yuki said with a stern look.
Little Yui nodded, clenched her fists bravely and said, "Yes, Yui understands!"

A while later.
Shina, who was meditating but had stopped to make breakfast for them, came over to call them: "I made breakfast, do you want to eat now?"
"Yay!" The children nodded in unification as they loved the food Shina made.
Shina had made many different types of sandwiches, natural orange juice. There was also some chocolate beverage, which Theo bought through his System, which quickly became very popular with the children. Although some of them preferred the juice, most preferred the chocolate beverage.
While eating, Theo came to think: 'Hrm… I'll have to pay a visit to the Kenedy Clan to get to know their strengths better, and how to deal with them…'
While they ate, the older girls from the Orphanage arrived.
And the moment their eyes landed on Theo, they sighed in wonder! It was shocking how many level 2 weapons he had already put in the Store and how good they were. Also, some level 2 weapons were equal to the attack power of a standard level 3 weapon. It was very shocking.
Theo, who had already noticed their arrival, looked toward the door and looked at them. "So, how was it?" He smiled as he asked them.
"Very surprising!" Nanda exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's amazing!" Aine said in agreement.
Ariana had a charming smile on her beautiful face, said, "As expected of my future husband!"
Theo has given up on correcting her and decided to pretend he didn't hear what Ariana said, and smiled and said, "So when do you think you can open the Store?"
After thinking… Nanda said: "We need to prepare some things first, but I think it would take at least a couple days until we can open it!"
"Oh! I see… I'm looking forward to it!" Theo smiled.
Seeing Theo's smile, they blushed a little. They couldn't help it because his smile was so charming, and his actions made him look even more appealing.
