I love time travel the most!

Let's ignore this name that makes us want to complain for now.

"Ahem." Kobayashi coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Sebastian, I don't know what this is..."

“Yes! As the master instructed, I have come to take over the orphanage. He said you would definitely need his help!” Butler Sebastian seemed to admire his master’s foresight, his demeanor and tone filled with adoration.

Kobayashi raised an eyebrow.

Judging from the butler's reaction, the "master" must be a gentleman, and a person of high status and power. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gain control of the orphanage from so many forces. After all, the "White God Child" is a highly sought-after person in the eyes of outsiders.

It doesn't matter who it is.

By saying this, isn't he basically telling himself that there's a powerful and mysterious person behind him, so he can act recklessly?

Xiaolin's expression gradually became unpleasant.

He quickly rubbed his cheeks again.

No, no, I'm an upright and sunny young man, how could I make such a lewd expression?

She quickly restored herself to her original appearance while secretly observing Sebastian's expression.

The butler must have seen his disgraceful behavior, but being the butler of a wealthy family, he wouldn't show his contempt on the surface, which gave Xiaolin's little sense of self-esteem some comfort.

Then he asked, "Mr. Sebastian, is there anything else? Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help."

It wasn't just a polite remark.

This is an orphanage, and also Frey's home. Kobayashi wouldn't feel comfortable leaving all of this in the carefree and clueless world of a girl like Frey.

"There is indeed a problem."

"Please say."

"Please name the orphanage."

"……what?"

"Please name the orphanage."

The butler, Sebastian, repeated himself. But the problem wasn't that Kobayashi hadn't heard clearly; rather, he didn't understand why the orphanage needed to be named, and why it had to be him. Generally speaking, isn't it the person who pays the money who has the right to change the name, perhaps to highlight their good deed?

Seemingly noticing Xiaolin's confusion, the butler explained, "This is what the master ordered. Although we don't know the reason, please don't let the master's good intentions go to waste."

This place was originally the D-works workshop and RT experimental base. Changing the name should be seen as saying goodbye to the past and welcoming a new life.

"I see."

Kobayashi nodded and asked Frey beside him, "Frey, this is your home. Do you have any ideas on what to name it?"

"Hmm...no." Frey shook her head, reached out and hugged Kobayashi's arm, leaned close and whispered, "I...I'll listen to Kobayashi...let you name it, because it's...our...home."

Wait, wait, Miss Frey!

Could you please let go of my arm? The look in Ms. Ryuu's eyes behind me is dangerous!

Subtly withdrawing her arm from her ample bosom, Frey looked slightly disappointed at losing her embrace.

Xiaolin pinched her chin and thought for a moment.

"Let's call it the Axis Orphanage."

"Axis? If I may ask, what is the meaning of this name?"

Sebastian, the butler, blinked, looking very curious.

"Ah, this..." Kobayashi grinned widely and said, "The goddess I worship is named Aqua, and the cult I belong to is called the Axis Cult. It's a harmonious, loving, united, and wise cult. Everyone in it is talented, and I love it!"

"I see, is it in the nature of the church?"

Sebastian nodded.

Because they had suffered inhuman torment and hardship, they hoped to become the Lamb of God and lead people toward good in order to redeem themselves and others.

"This is such a touching idea. That goddess must be an all-encompassing and wise goddess."

"Full of wisdom?... I feel like you've misunderstood something."

"It's alright, you don't need to say it explicitly. I understand."

You know shit.

This butler named Sebastian seems to have a tendency towards cultification. If he were to meet Aqua in person, his faith would surely crumble and he would completely break down.

"Oh, and the doctrines."

Kobayashi remembered.

"doctrine?"

"Since it's a church-affiliated organization, it must have doctrines, right? Wait, I'll write them down now."

He took out a banknote and immediately began writing.

A few minutes later, Axis finished writing his declaration of being a good-for-nothing and handed it to his butler Sebastian, who was standing to the side with some anticipation.

"This, this...this..."

Sebastian's hands trembled slightly, indicating that he had been greatly shocked.

broken.

Kobayashi, who had become accustomed to it all, forgot that the doctrines of the Axis religion are a declaration of utter worthlessness; anyone who sees them would find them unacceptable.

Just when Kobayashi thought he would get angry—

"This doctrine is truly excellent!"

“Gah—?!”

“Look! These White God Children all possess immense power, and no matter how they are educated, there is a risk that they will eventually go out of control. But if we instill these doctrines in them from a young age, they will definitely be changed!”

"No, no, no matter how you look at it, it'll just end up as a piece of trash."

"How could that be! This is a universal truth!"

The steward Sebastian held the doctrinal in his hand high, as if he had obtained some priceless treasure.

That's it, he's completely been corrupted by the Dihua (Chinese).

However, from another perspective, it makes sense, doesn't it? After all, for some people nowadays, lying down and doing nothing is the best option, and there's nothing wrong with being a useless person.

"Mr. Kobayashi, I want to join the Axis Cult!"

"Eh?"

"Please, I want to join the religion!"

"Eh--"

Xiao Lin's expression immediately turned speechless.

I really wanted to tell him that the members of the Axis Cult were a bunch of weirdos with mental problems, but judging from Sebastian's reaction just now, he clearly had his own issues as well. Plus, those sparkling eyes... I just couldn't bring myself to refuse him.

"…"

"Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi! Come! Let us create a wonderful Axis Cult, let the world join the Axis Cult, and let everyone hear the teachings of the Goddess! Come, join the Axis Cult! Let us create a better tomorrow!"

Wait, where have I heard that phrase before?

He sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Kobayashi, in a fit of despair, erected a statue of the goddess Aqua in the courtyard, asking the orphans in the orphanage to pray for it, hoping that the goddess would shine a ray of light on him after he left.

The three then left the orphanage.

On the carriage, with Frey on her left and Ryuu on her right, Kobayashi experienced the feeling of having both of them by his side.

To avoid embarrassment, Frey whispered, "Th-thank you...for saving the orphanage...for saving...our home."

"Don't mention it. Since I've chosen to help, I'll help you without reservation." Kobayashi looked directly into her eyes and said, "So, Frey, you can completely rely on me."

"Xiao Lin..."

Frey gazed at Kobayashi, her red eyes brimming with tears and filled with warmth.

"Um...thank you."

"No need to thank me, after all, I..."

"But thank you anyway."

Frey smiled gently. It was the first time Kobayashi had seen her smile like that; it was as serene and lovely as a magnolia flower.

The atmosphere became slightly ambiguous.

Glug~~~~~~~

My stomach growled.

Because Kobayashi had spent a lot of energy thinking about how to settle the Shirakami children in the orphanage, he suddenly felt hungry after relaxing.

Frey gently handed over the basket she was carrying.

"This is lunch, a sandwich."

"oh oh……"

A familiar scene.

However, Frey is acting out of good intentions right now, so it shouldn't be a trap, right?

No, given her previous absent-mindedness, it was at most a prank.

"Thank you, Frey, I will enjoy it with gratitude." Kobayashi took a sandwich from the basket. It looked no different from an ordinary sandwich, and was even more exquisite and beautiful, making it very appetizing.

what--

He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Kobayashi immediately clutched her throat and coughed violently. Beside her, Ryuu suddenly sprang to her feet, a scythe beneath her skirt held against Frey's neck, her eyes filled with extreme danger.

If Kobayashi hadn't stopped her at the last moment, Frey's head would have been severed.

"This tastes like... alcohol?"

"Hmm... I was thinking of adding aphrodisiacs, but since I couldn't get my hands on them, I added a lot of rum instead."
