About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson complained quietly, then stared thoughtfully at the motorcycle shop sign called "Knight's Road" which was decorated with many Casimir Knight logos.

"Although it's probably just an overabundance of self-awareness... Anyway, Angel, could you wait a moment? I'll go give it a try."

"Hmm? That's fine with me, but Orson, you better be careful not to get thrown out by that scary store manager. I can't guarantee I'll be able to catch you."

"Is this a motorcycle shop or a martial arts school... Seriously."

Exia tilted her head, then looked at Orson with some curiosity as he walked into the store.

A few minutes later—

"Just bring this receipt back to pick up the car in half a month. Although the boss said it was free, I didn't think it was appropriate so I declined. I hope you won't be angry."

Orson walked out of the shop holding a receipt for a motorcycle that was said to be super rare.

"..."

Exiah showed a 0A0 expression, and her eyes were as big as copper bells.

"Remember to come often, Brother Orson! I'll give you a 3% discount!!"

The store manager, who was defined by Archangel as "super evil and super scary", half of his body stuck out of the store, waving at Orson, giving him a thumbs up, and laughing with his white teeth showing.

"So, does that mean the breeder can control minds?!"

Exia looked at Orson in panic and asked.

"How did you come to this conclusion..."

"So how did you manage to turn that shopkeeper into this state in just a few minutes, Orson?"

"Uh, signing autographs, posing for pictures, taking pictures, that sort of thing?"

"...?"

Exiah was completely confused. It sounded simple enough. Next time when she went back to Lateran to buy the Guardian Gun, would she only need to sign her autograph, pose for a few photos, and that would replace the payment?

Because of Orson's ambiguous response, a very subtle idea arose in Archangel's mind.

"Ahem, anyway, it's nothing, maybe just good luck."

Orson waved his hand, thinking that the owner who named the shop "Knight's Road" was actually a fan of Casimir Knight Competition. He was really lucky.

The owner of the motorcycle shop was indeed as bad-tempered and irritable as Exiah said, but even so, when he saw Orson, he blinked and turned into a fanatical fan at the speed of light to make sure he was not daydreaming.

Due to the delay in information exchange in mobile city-states, almost all Longmen people, unless they are die-hard fans, do not know how popular Orson, the "Silent Knight personally appointed by the Grand Knight", is in Casimir.

In the words of some citizens of Casimir, "only the mysteriously disappeared maid knight of Princess Victoria" can compete with its popularity!

"Although I still feel something is amiss... Anyway, thank you so much, Orson, you've been so helpful again! Next time, I'll treat you to a front-row seat at an empty concert!"

Exiah clasped his hands together and used Shinra Tensei on Orson, then prepared to leave.

"By the way, do you know of any place where you can live without any documents or money?"

Orson called out to Excalibur and asked if he had a place to stay for the night.

"Orson, your question sounds quite strange. There are places like this everywhere in the slums, but they're always in chaos. You should have just arrived in Longmen not long ago, right? I don't recommend you go to the slums. For example, there's a purple-haired Carter named Anso there. She always uses some tricks to steal people's wallets."

Exiah pointed a finger and talked about the horrors of the slums.

"I've already realized this..."

"..."

Orson had an awkward expression as if he had already tasted it, while Exiah paused mid-sentence for once.

"Well, I think I have a rough idea of your current situation, Orson."

After a brief silence, Archangel patted Orson on the shoulder.

"But it doesn't matter! You've helped me so many times today, just leave this kind of thing to me!"

"Do you know of a suitable place to stay overnight?"

"A piece of cake!"

Exia gave Orson a thumbs up.

A few dozen minutes later——

"...Hello everyone, I'm Orsen, and I'm, uh, a breeder. My specialty is, uh, crosstalk."

[Penguin Logistics] In the office, Orson stood in front of the office door and introduced himself awkwardly.

"..." "..." "..."

"Anyway, that's it. Everyone, welcome Orson~!"

Exia applauded, while Texas, who was not far away, sat on the sofa and looked at Orson motionlessly. Beside her were several girls who Orson also remembered, who worked for Penguin Logistics.

05. The Angel of Power is very smart

"Explain, Exia."

In the Penguin Logistics office, Texas looked at Exia after a brief silence. Although there was no change in her facial expression, Orson could clearly sense that the wolf's mood had become visibly unhappy.

"Wow, wait a minute... look at this, Texas!"

Exia was a little frightened by Texas's gaze, and she quickly handed the motorcycle receipt that Orson had given her to Texas.

"Is this—a limited edition Casimir co-branded motorcycle? Longmen shouldn't have this type of motorcycle in stock."

"Orson helped me with this! I don't know what kind of Yuri mind control he used, but thanks to his help, I'll be able to buy a new motorcycle in two weeks!"

Texas was stunned for a moment after seeing the motorcycle model on the receipt in Angelic's hand, and Angelic immediately took the opportunity to speak well of Orson, trying to ease Texas's not-so-good first impression of Orson.

"..."

Texas looked at the receipt in Archangel's hand again, confirming that the note did have legal authority, and his expression finally became a little less gloomy.

Being able to exchange for a limited edition motorcycle is one of the few "good news" things that happened to Texas recently, although it made her more suspicious about the origins of this "Orson".

"Even though Exia often does some inexplicable and out-of-place things, this is the first time I've picked someone up—well, anyway, let's get to know each other first. I'm Croissant, and my hobby is making money, and my hobby is setting up a stall to make money. If you try to make any jokes about pastries, I'll use this shield to crush you!"

Texas was still a little wary of Orson, but the girl with plump hooves walked up to Orson first, gave him a thumbs up, and introduced herself cheerfully.

Orson didn't have a very deep impression of the bread man in front of him. Although she was also in the Penguin Logistics group, she seemed to be always ignored.

There is no way, after all, every time "Exiah chases Teemo, Teemo runs away, Texas chases Exiah, Sora chases Texas", this bread man usually sets up a stall outside the camera and makes money diligently.

"Hello, Miss Croissant."

Orson almost blurted out "bread man". If he really said that, he would probably be cornered and beaten by a carload of bread men.

"Orson is about the same height as me, hehe, but if you count the horns, I'm taller!"

After shaking hands with Orson, Croissant compared his head with Orson's, then pointed at the croissants on both sides of his head and smiled brightly.

"Hey, croissant—!"

Hearing that Croissant had the good luck to use "height" as a starting point for the conversation, Archangel hurriedly pulled Breadman over, fearing that Orson would get angry again like he did in the alley before, and summon out black tentacle-like creatures to make a mess of the office.

"...You all are bullying me because I don't have any weird things growing on my head, right?"

Fortunately, Orson didn't get angry this time. He also knew that Croissant's joke was not malicious.

But even so, Orson still looked angry. He first pointed at the Penguin Logistics employees in front of him who all had animal ears on their heads, and then ran to the corner very skillfully to grow mushrooms and sulk.

Why am I a featureless "Chimera"? If I were a Carterus (rabbit), wouldn't my height be around 170cm?

—No, it's more than that! How great would it be if I were a chimera, a fusion of a rabbit and a deer? I could even grow antlers above my ears, and reaching a height of 180cm wouldn't be a dream!

Orson began to complain about his identity as a 'Chimera' and at the same time indulge in unrealistic fantasies.

If he could choose his race again, Orson would definitely choose Carters!

...No, there seem to be different types of Carters, right?

Orson thought of Ansel, the hunk from Rhodes Island. He was also a rabbit, but his ears were only useful for buying underage tickets when riding the bus or going to the movies. He wasn't like Amiya Froststar, who said, "Ears are also a measure of your height, so buy me a full-price ticket."

Orson suddenly became interested in the question: "Which race on the Terra continent has the tallest ears/horns?"

"Well, what happened to Orson?"

The bread man was a little confused when he saw Orson suddenly growing mushrooms in the corner of the wall. He had the impression that he had done nothing.

"Uh... Anyway, let's change the subject. Croissant didn't mean it, Orson, don't be angry."

Exiah rubbed his hair, then walked to Orson and clasped his hands together to indicate that he didn't mind.

"I'm not angry. I'm used to it. Why would I be angry? Being short is good, isn't it? Hahaha."

Orson responded mechanically, but his eyes were empty and void, and even his smile was so dry that it made people thirsty.

"Wow..."

Exia was frightened by Orson's appearance, and the other people present also understood what was going on. They complained in their hearts that it would be better not to mention topics related to height in front of this young man in the future.

"Anyway, this is Sora, the currently super hot Ai Doulu from Longmen!"

Exiah tried to change the subject, and with a lively tone, she pulled the blonde Luper(?) girl in the room over.

"Are you new to Longmen? If you need any help, please come to me. Helping others is also a necessary part of idol training!"

Sora made a kira☆ expression and spoke to Orson in a lively tone.

"Is Sora an idol?"

Orson looked at the blonde Luper girl in front of him and asked curiously.

After all, it has been a while since he came to the Terra continent. Orson's memory of most characters is only some impressions that he is not sure whether they are reliable or not. It would be better to get along with them as complete strangers again.

For example, Orson only remembered that the girl in front of him with stars in her eyes seemed to like Texas, and it seemed to be a pitiful unrequited love.

...The information I remembered is really useless.

"I'm a little embarrassed to be asked that... Hehe, I'm not as amazing as Exiah said. I'm just an idol trainee who debuted not too long ago."

"Idol Producer, it must be very hard."

Orson thought of a white-haired Liberi Shota who belonged to the Reunion Movement. He was a medical operator of the Reunion Movement and also the national idol of Kiri City.

He hadn't been back to Che City for a while. When the current lord of Che City, Natalia (Zaolu), learned that he was going to Longmen, she once threatened to drive Che City to Longmen to find Orson.

If Zaolu really came over, the world lines would be merged. Orson had to persuade Zaolu to give up this very evil idea.

Another person who reacted strongly was Ino (Mephisto), but what made Orson very happy was that Ino often followed Rhodes Island's medical department to study during this period. Now, not only has his medical skills improved a lot, but his personality has also become more stable.

Now Ino can use his Originium skill "Life Diversion" combined with his knowledge of pathology to treat the wounded efficiently and quickly. At the same time, he will no longer openly express his longing for 'Teacher Orson' at the "Angel-chan Kirijo Concert" as he did before.

This time, after learning that Mr. Orson still could not return to Kiri Castle first, Ino did not turn on the yandere mode as usual, but expressed understanding.

He began to understand the irreconcilable suffering and despair in this world, and therefore became more aware of how precious Orson's existence was, and that this hope should not be monopolized by himself by being petty.

When those "violent fans who are cheering for Eno" remove the killing order for Orson from the billboards in Che City, Orson will probably be able to return home in glory.

Far away.

"Finally, it's Texas... Uh, Texas is our driver, and her speeding skills are among the top three in all of Longmen! Orson, if you have urgent cargo to deliver, she'll definitely be the one to go to! By the way, according to legend, the fastest driver in Longmen is Mrs. Wei Yanwu."

Logically, it was Texas' turn to introduce himself, but Texas still didn't seem to care much, so Angel had to smile awkwardly while introducing himself on behalf of Texas.

"The Penguin Logistics staff are roughly the same people you see here. We actually have Is as another member, but his business is different from ours, so he rarely shows up at Longmen. Then there's our boss, the Emperor. He's a penguin, and if we get a chance to meet, he'll definitely introduce himself. His eagerness to show off is unmatched in all of Terra—Okay, that's basically it. Orson, do you have any questions?"

After the slightly awkward introduction, Archangel looked at Orson and asked if there was anything else he wanted to know.

"Yes, um, what am I going to do here...?"

Orson pointed at himself and whispered the most fundamental question.

When Angel of Exorcism learned that Orson had no place to live, he immediately patted his chest and promised to take care of him. Then he dragged Orson here without saying anything.

After discovering that it was the Penguin Logistics office, Orson thought that Archangel was going to pack him up and mail him back to Casimir, going back to where he came from.

"Hmm? Of course I'll spend the night here."

“——Huh?” “Oh oh!”

After hearing what Angelica said, Sora and Croissant beside them both made sounds of surprise, but Sora was more panicked, while Breadman was more like "WTF that is?"

"Sora and Croissant, you two are such a jerk! Is it really necessary to react so violently? Anyway, no one will be in the office at night. It's okay to lend it to Orson for a night. Anyway, the most valuable thing here is probably Texas's private collection of Pocky snack boxes—it hurts!"

Exiah laughed and said that Sora and Anpanman were making a big deal out of nothing, then was hit on the head by Texas with the hilt of his sword.
