    ༺ The Lord Is With Us (36) ༻

    The orphanage’s utility room had long since become a makeshift command center.

    The few documents scattered in the room were handwritten by Leto. In them, he had organized and recorded the progress of the search as well as various pending issues affecting the orphanage.

    Among the records, the most significant document was the orphanage’s financial statements.

    Since the Guilford Orphanage received support from the Holy Land, they maintained their own ledger. But since Mr. Guilford––who lacked expertise and proper training––was in charge of the ledger, there were a lot of inaccurate portions that needed to be corrected.

    So everyone agreed to have Leto temporarily take charge of writing the orphanage’s financial statements. At least as long as we stayed at the orphanage.

    During the process of writing the financial statements, Leto realized one thing.

    “This orphanage is doomed anyway.”

    It was a cold and brutal assessment but Leto was never wrong. He clicked his tongue and slammed the papers onto the table.

    “There’s hardly any sources of income. It’s a wonder that they’ve been able to hold on so far. The orphanage should have closed down a long time ago…….”

    “It’s not our problem anyway, right?”

    Senior Delphine cut Leto off mid-sentence. As always, she sat with a lofty posture with her legs crossed.

    The expression on her face was nothing short of impertinent. Her attitude seemed to ask what the problem was.

    “Keep in mind, Einstein. Our mission here is simply to subdue the beasts attacking the orphanage. Moreover, we might even have to face a demon soon.”
