Chapter 1233: with translation of chapter title

【3】

Although it is the only non-human living special zone in the Bode District, its residents are clearly not merely a demon realm for non‑human beings; its scale far exceeds that of ordinary such zones, covering a full 200,000 square kilometers.

【5】

In such an expansive territory, facilities such as nursing homes, orphanages, and child welfare institutions—set up by local governments or charities in partnership with businesses—are clearly not rare.

【7】

But if you search for child welfare institutions, you can barely fill a single page.

【9】

It is an institution set up to protect and educate children who have lost their parents or whose parents are unable to care for them.

【11】

Thus it's easy to see why there are so few child welfare institutions; the fact that the demon realm's institutions are only in the single digits stems largely from their culture—demons just don't value education.

【13】

Obviously, they have no such tradition.

【15】

Yet the establishment of several renowned schools in the demon realm today shows that tradition can indeed be changed.

【17】

Back then demons didn't even have a family concept, let alone care for children, and even now they are pressured by the times to learn from humans.

【19】

During the war years before the federation was established, these were all lessons bought with blood.

【21】

I still recall Little Aomo asking me, rather mysteriously, that those uncles and aunts were quite problematic—but also rather cute.

【23】

That was the incident where we were falsely accused—it wasn't the Blood King Squad in disguise investigating, and they also slapped us with an absolute ban on talking to the children.

【25】

Rong Jin didn't say anything then, did he? It seems after the Blood King Squad incident he even stopped speaking to us.

【27】

Huh? Hanna! Why didn't you tell me?

【29】

His reaction was a bit over the top—it was almost as if he'd been nailed to a stake by a nun.

【31】

As she poured tea, she complained, "You're completely ruining the impression that Aomo's girlfriend and friends have of us."

【33】

What gives you the right to say that? How long have you been staring at that guy's girlfriend?

【35】

What bet?

【37】

"That's not just a joke, is it?" The nun, still pouring tea, looked helpless, then apologized to the perpetually reserved pink‑haired girl and the black‑haired wolf girl: "Sorry, she's just like that."

【39】

"This girl isn't a werewolf, is she…?" the vampire man couldn't help but mutter.

【41】

"Huh? Isn't she?" the wolf girl looked surprised at Qieleni Na.

【43】

"…No." Qieleni Na felt a bit embarrassed; although she was a transmigrant, having worked here as an armed courier for over a year, she still had some idea of the local werewolves.

【45】

"Right, I don't see any 'deserving a beating' vibe from her toward you," the vampire man said, crossing his arms and nodding, "It's a relief that the kid's orientation hasn't been twisted."

【47】

"There are still guests here," the nun reminded.

【49】

"Last time I could at least leave a bone; this time I'll surely be evenly matched!" the vampire called from the passageway, "Let me show you my upgraded flesh after exchanging with my new friend."

【51】

"Why imagine? Isn't this just the fact?" the wolf girl turned back in surprise, "Hanna, you can't possibly fool those girls into thinking our orphanage is as peaceful and honest as those places in the mortal world, can you?"

【53】

"…Activate questioning process: Is not seeing blood mediocre?" Bourbon whispered to the girl beside him, Xi.

【56】

"Er..." Ursula, who was only playing on her phone at the edge, froze for a moment when she was called over, turned her head, thought, and said, "Probably?"

It's apparent she doesn't usually come into contact with many vampires.

【58】

Let alone someone with a physique like they've been working out in a gym.

【60】

"Let me correct that: both children really don't see blood; Texas and Miss Ersula should be counted separately."

He spoke, a half‑virtual‑image handsome vampire emerged from Hàn Nà's phone — undoubtedly Mò Lǐ Sēn — but as soon as it appeared it attracted three disdainful looks, including from the owner of the phone where he was temporarily residing.

【66】

"Mr. Lin Dun, you don't need to start off," the nun said with a smile, though she couldn't hide her disdainful gaze, "Although many colleagues are currently working or resting, but if news of your appearance spreads…"

【70】

Thus line: 【61】 "Mr. Lin Dun, you don't need to start off," the nun said softly, smiling but unable to hide her disdainful gaze, "Although many colleagues are currently working or resting, but if news of your appearance spreads..."

We need to keep as single line.

"What a pity, Morrison—you actually dare to show up, you worthless waste that even that kid can't control." The sound of joints twisting rang out again from the vampire man's fists.

Translate: "What a pity, Morrison, you dare to show up, even that brat can't stand this waste." Again the sound of joints twisting came from the vampire man's fists.

【80】

We'll output: 【62】 "What a pity, Morrison, you dare to show up, even that brat can't stand this waste." Again the sound of joints twisting came from the vampire man's fists.

"Step back! Bat, let me handle this! This guy snatched the kid away before me and adopted him just to cook for himself!!"

「？」X4

This line is just a question mark repeated four times? Actually "？」X4" means four question marks? The line: 「？」X4. So it's a quoted question mark with X4 indicating four? Probably means four question marks. We'll translate as four question marks inside quotes? The Chinese line: 「？」X4. Means they wrote a question mark and then X4 to indicate four? We'll output exactly: "?" repeated four times? The instruction: translate faithfully, never skip. So we should output the same: "?" repeated four times? But we need to keep the quotes? The line includes 「？」X4. The quotes are part of the line. So we should output: "?" repeated four times? Actually the line is: 「？」X4. That likely means they wrote a question mark and then noted X4 to indicate four question marks. In translation, we should output four question marks. We'll keep the quotes? The original had quotes around a single question mark, but with X4 indicating repetition. We'll output four question marks without quotes? Safer to output four question marks:????. But we need to keep the brackets 【64】. So: 【64】????

We'll decide: output four question marks.

These words immediately drew surprised looks from the four women, while the nun, unfazed, moved her phone aside: "I'll remind you two, he's just a projection; your attacks will only destroy my phone."

She could completely see that Hànnà's disgust toward Mòlìsēn was that serious; if she kept going on and on like that, that guy would really get angry.
