Chapter 113: Father of the Hearth Orphanage, Bai Ge (Seeking support)

Two months after the time-space travel.

Crackle! Crackle!

"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Bai Ge sat on a sofa chair with his legs crossed, holding a cup of black tea. He looked at the fireplace burning with roaring flames before him; the light and warmth of the fire made this orphanage no longer cold or dark.

Beside him was a group of very cute girls. Except for a pair of twins who had fallen asleep, the rest were excitedly discussing topics that interested them.

Occasionally, a few of the girls would cast their gaze toward Bai Ge, and in their eyes, one could see clear reliance and admiration.

"Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!"

At the same time, the bell chimed to announce the time.

Bai Ge set down the teacup in his hand and clapped. Immediately, the little girls who had been playing around gathered obediently in front of him, even the sleeping twin sisters included.

"Children, it's time for bed. No matter how much joy you still have to share with each other, now is the time for good children to sleep. However, Rozaliya and Liliya, you two need to go back to sleep in a moment."

"No problem, Father Bai Ge!"

"Mm, Rozaliya is very good at sleeping, and Liliya hasn't slept enough yet, haa~"

"Good. Children who sleep early and wake up early will grow tall in the future. This is one of the rules at the Hearth. If anyone stays up late at night and gets caught by me, then tomorrow's after-meal cupcake will disappear. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Father Bai Ge!" xN

Bai Ge curled his lips in pleasure.

It feels great to hear a group of cute little lolis calling him Father. No! Must keep a straight face; the dignity of being the father of the Hearth cannot be shaken!

"Very well, now go back to your bedrooms. I will randomly check tonight to see who isn't asleep."

The girls scattered and ran upstairs.

After Bai Ge nodded in satisfaction, he continued to sit in front of the fireplace's light, holding a novel he had just started reading, intending to stay up all night to finish it.

Children cannot stay up late.

But adults can.

Although he would be called cunning by a few naughty children, who let him be the father of the orphanage? Even if he didn't sleep for the whole night, no one would deduct Bai Ge's black tea for the next day.

【Host, it seems you have already adapted.】

"Hm? System? It's alright. After accepting the identity setting you gave me, I find it quite fresh."

Bai Ge didn't even lift his head, continuing to read the novel in his hand.

At this moment, he was much more steady. Compared to the body of a child under fifteen during the Second Honkai, he was now a mature adult nearly thirty years old.

Bai Ge's height had already exceeded 180cm. He now often wore a silver-gray suit, wore a pair of black leather gloves, and even his hairstyle was combed neatly and cleanly.

Whether it was the innocence of a young boy or the immaturity of a youth, both had faded from the Bai Ge of this moment. Although every move was not exaggerated, it made people feel elegant and steady involuntarily.

If Kiana and Mei were present, they would definitely exclaim in surprise. This is what Bai Ge looks like when he grows up; such mature, handsome charm really makes it impossible for people to look away.

He is the manager of the Hearth Orphanage.

The father of over a dozen orphans.

This is the identity of Bai Ge in this simulation.

"Has it already been two months? Hehe, thinking back to when I was thrown into this time-space by you, the system, I didn't know how to act for a while. After all, it was said to be the past of Bronya and Seele, but in reality, I didn't see either of them at first, and..."

Bai Ge narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the silent system.

"And it just had to be almost the same identity as that woman. You really have a way, System."

【Originally an officer in a military unit, but after encountering a small-scale Honkai attack, the squad was wiped out. After that, disheartened, they left the military and turned to the construction of an orphanage, adopting many children who had lost their homes due to the Honkai—isn't this quite good?】

"Hmph, don't think I didn't notice. Isn't this just the template of that mother fox, Cocolia? Currently, the person I hate the most in this world, second only to Otto."

Bai Ge said unhappily. He raised his hand to grab the two sides of the system's light screen interface, pulling hard as if he wanted to tear this system into two halves.

【Cough, cough, at least that mother fox was indeed a righteous partner in the early stages. Please show mercy, Host, stop pulling.】

"Forget it, it's just that I'm a little curious. If my identity template is based on Cocolia, then what is her situation now? Could it be that she no longer exists in this world?"

【Of course not. Even though because of the Host, Cocolia's fate has changed and she no longer creates the Cocolia Orphanage, the parts other than that remain unchanged.】

"Tsk, that is to say, that mother fox will still become the Civil War Phantom God Cocolia Danzo later? Troublesome. How about I just kill her in this era?"

Bai Ge frowned slightly, but the trouble he mentioned just now was not Cocolia, but fate itself.

The fate of everyone in this world is destined. No matter what changes occur, they will eventually walk on the original path, unless it is a fate directly tampered with by Bai Ge himself. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
