The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"Big brother, help me hide."

"Big brother, play ball with me."

"Big brother, help me pull the sister's skirt."

Hey, this isn't half bad.

This might be somewhat fun actually, seeing children smile, laugh and run around freely as if the world was theirs… except it wasn't and this really wasn't fun.

I do not like small midgets with snot coming off their noses, running around trying to stick it on my expensive clothes… where's my expensive clothes?

After Wilson talked with the sisters, they let us in and play with the children. Apparently he said, we wanted to spend some time with the children and sister understood.

…Where's the security people? What if we were child kidnappers and took one of the kids while the sisters weren't watching?

I look down to see that I was only wearing a normal shirt and pants, the getup I chose for the fight. No wonder why this kids were deliberately having fun and playing with me.

From what I've seen from the novel, the nobles have done their fair share to cause things that put so many children at the orphanages… some of them their own.

When I asked about the kids what they thought about the nobles, they gave an honest answer.

Rich snobs in clown clothes.

What can I say, they were right… I am like that.

"Big brother!" I feel a tug at my leg and see that it's a little girl.

"Yeah?"

"I made this hairpin for you." The young child said with a bright smile as she handed me a paper hairpin.

"Wo- Wow… this is gr- great!" I deliberately had to say good words with how intensely Wilson and the sisters were looking at my back, "I'm gonna keep it with me my whole life."

"No! I want you to wear it now."

"…what?"

"I want big brother to wear the hairpin I made right now!" The little girl demanded as I felt like using the hairpin to stab her own head.

"Wh- Why don't I do that later? Big brother is kind of allergic to women's stuff." I smile, trying to diffuse the matter.

But only the opposite happened.

"S- So… you don't like my hairpin then?" The girl said, her eyes already balling with tears as she let them go, "Big brother… anngh!"

"Stop stop stop! Can you stop crying for a second!" You bitch.

But she did not stop.

Seeing the overgrown looks of the sisters, I felt tight under the situation and buckled under them.

"Alright… would you stop crying, I'll wear it."

"You will?" The girl stopped instantly and asked with a bright face. She stopped so fast that I don't even know if she was actually crying or acting.

I slowly put the hairpin inside my hair and penitently look at the girl, "Is this it?"

"Yes! You look wonderful big brother… like a bride ready to marry the groom!"

'This brat… I might burn down this orphanage!'

"BIG BROTHER! YOU LOOK CUTE!" A fatso of the same size as this girl said.

'Why the hell are you yelling!'

At his yell, all the other children who were doing other unimportant stuff turned to me and quickly came barraging at me.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

'Fucking bratssss!'

After a thorough infestation by the kids, was I let go by them. But this memory… I will keep it in my heart… how ruthless kids can be.

…

"Here, take this sister." I hand over a stacked envelop to a bespectacled sister.

"Oh! What is this?" The sister took it in confusion before returning back, "You don't have to do this. It's okay, you two playing with the children is already enough."

"Shi shi shi, sister!" I put my index finger on the sister's mouth, silencing her and turn my charm on, "It's not only for the kids, but you sisters as well."

"For us too?" She asked… with a tiny blush.

"Yes, I can see how outdated your clothes are." She blushed in embarrassment at that, "Just take it in the goddess's name."

"We- Well… if it's for the goddess."

The sisters are actually a good person… one of the very few who weren't really greedy. Maybe that's why I wanted to support them.

It's definitely not because Wilson was standing beside me with an amazed look.

Nope, it wasn't.

"Well, we'll take our leave then, sister."

"Thank you for coming here, please don't be angry if some of the children might have done something to you."

'Oh, but I am!'

Speaking of the devil.

"Big brother! Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, but I'll come back again."

"Don't leave brother." She tugged at my clothes, "…Everyone who says that, never actually comes back." The girl said with a sad look.

"Iris! Don't say that to them!" The sister said. "You can't force them like this."

"I know but…" She looked down.

'Hah… what I do for kids.' I kneel to her level and pat her head, "How about this Iris? You prepare me another hairpin for the next time and I'll bring you some chocolate."

"Chocolate!" Her eyes shined bright in greed.

"Iris!" The sister said but she didn't listen.

"What kind of chocolates?"

"The kind that tastes amazing."

"Really?"

"Really" I pat her head and get up, "So behave while I'm gone and if I hear that you're not then…"

"I'll be sure to behave brother, you make sure to bring lots of chocolates for me and my brothers!"

"Iris…" The sister said in a tired voice as I signaled that it's okay.

"Alright then, I'll leave Iris. Make sure to stay good."

"I will, Big brother." Iris waved me goodbye beside the sister and we left.

"How was it, Henry? Did you like it here?" Wilson asked.

"Like it?... far from it pal. The kids are brats and try to ruin my clothes… why would I have fun here."

"So…"

"But I'll come back again… to discipline those kids." I scratch my nose and turn to the street.

Wilson only smiled and quickly followed me.

Just as we were leaving, a carriage stopped in front of the orphanage and a woman got out. She had a spectacular figure that would make everyone waver.

Henry didn't see the woman but the woman saw the hairpin in Henry's head. She didn't need to wonder much to guess who it was. Since her path was the same place.

As soon as the children saw the woman, they quickly swarmed her in hugs. The children were even more brighter with her than Henry.

After a while of playing with the kids, the woman finally met up with the sister, "Good afternoon, sister."

"It's nice to see you back again too, ma'am." The sister immediately tried to reject the money, the woman was about to give her, "Please Ma'am, don't. You already give us so much money, it's more than enough. Besides, the children love to play with you, I can't keep on taking money like this."

But the woman was strong in persuasion and finally she said, "Take it in the goddess's name."

The sister sighed and took it. Then she laughed a bit, making the woman curious, "Now it's the second time a person gave money today, using the goddess."

"Hmm, there was someone else… that's good." The woman smiled and remembered about the hairpin.

"Was that person quite large and muscular… with a paper hairpin in his hair?"

"Ah haha!" The sister almost burst out in laughter, "Good thing that he didn't hear that, otherwise that boy would have been embarrassed."

The woman only became more curious as she asked more about Henry.
