About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson, who wanted to say "this place can accommodate many wounded people", swallowed his words under the gaze of the other three.

"There seems to be some activity over there?"

Zhenli noticed that some event seemed to be taking place in the lobby of the Checheng Hotel. When everyone got closer, they found out that it was the [First Elegant Service Cup Competition], a competition that sounded confusing at first.

The general content is that people wear maid uniforms to provide services to guests.

"...It's so boring. Let's go, Anna."

After taking a quick glance, Lin Dong was ready to leave with Zhenli, but Zaolu suddenly thought of something and stopped everyone.

"Perhaps—we could give it a try, Sonia?"

Zaolu looked at Lindong with a smile, then looked at Orson.

Isn't this a great opportunity to show my approachable side and also show my femininity?

After all, she was the daughter of a businessman, and she analyzed the benefits in an instant.

"Huh? Why would I—"

"Well, after all, Sonia-san is so reckless, so she might not be suitable for serving others, right?"

"...Hey, you, this is a challenge letter, right?!"

Lin Dong, who was originally planning to leave, became interested after hearing this, and the two rivals ran to the registration office together.

"Well, let's go home."

Zhenli blinked and had no intention of eating this melon at all.

However, the course of the game was completely beyond Zhenli's expectations——

"Your black tea."

Although Winter, who was wearing a maid uniform, had an awkward expression on her face, her gestures were elegant and appropriate, and she didn't look like a fighting genius who could smash a sandbag with one punch.

On the other hand, early dew is very not smooth.

"Please... please, enjoy your meal."

"Uh, uh, well, okay, okay."

Zaolu herself was holding the tea with a red face and trembling hands, while the guest being served also had a look of pain on her face as if she was walking on thin ice.

——Why would I be cosplaying a maid at a time like this...!?

——Why would the eldest daughter, the heir of the Rostov family, come here to play maid cosplay...!?

It is said that love makes people blind. Zaolu still has a long way to go before she can become a shrewd businessman who can perfectly weigh the pros and cons.

"Why...Sonia-san, are you so skilled?"

During the break, Zaolu wiped the sweat off her face and asked Lindong curiously.

"Huh? Because my mother used to be a maid serving the nobles, and I was often taught that when I was little, even though I didn't like that kind of work at all."

"Eh……"

Zaolu blinked her eyes. This was a complete mistake.

Although there were some inappropriate moments, they saw each other's unknown side, which was a very subtle and novel experience for both bears.

——I have a feeling that this White Bear/Sonia-san has an interesting side as well.

The two glanced at each other.

Finally, the winner of the first Elegant Service Cup is - Orson.

"So I just wore the same suit. I'm not a waiter in your hotel. This suit belongs to the Rostov family... Uh-huh?"

Orson was pulled to the podium and was still explaining when he was suddenly handed the championship trophy. He held it in his hands with a confused look on his face.

"..." "..."

Below the award ceremony stand, Lin Dong and Zao Lu were wearing maid uniforms, staring blankly at Orsen holding the trophy on the stage.

Fireworks early in the winter

44. Azazel Clinic

The club activities lasted for nearly a day, and everyone ended their stroll when the sun set.

"It was much more interesting than I expected, and I saw some very interesting things, Miss Noble."

This time, Lin Dong did not complain about being bored. Instead, he looked at Zao Lu and gave her a wicked smile.

"Hmm... a complete blunder."

Zaolu frowned and said that she was still too young. Not only did she fail to show her feminine side, but she made a group of people extremely embarrassed and was laughed at by Lindong.

In the end, even the trophy belonged to Orson!

"Two months' worth of exercise..."

Zhen Li sat in the chair and grumbled softly while panting. She said that her power was different from that of these bears and she was more of a wheelchair detective.

After a brief chat, the first bear group activity ended successfully. Everyone went home, and the relationship between Zaolu, Lindong and Zhenli also deepened a lot.

"Orson, aren't you going back?"

When one of the few black luxury cars still left in the Rostov family's security and three elite assassins in suits came to greet Zaolu, Orson had no intention of getting in the car, which made Zaolu a little confused.

"You go back first, Natalia. I have something else to take care of here."

"Well...be safe."

Zaolu knew very well that now was not the time to act out of temper. Orson was the key figure in breaking the deadlock, and she had to support his actions.

"The same goes for you, young lady. After this is over—no, I'd better not make any plans..."

Orson wanted to say something, but he held it back after rubbing his hair. In the end, the two of them just nodded, and Zaolu was escorted back to the mansion.

After sending Zaolu away, Orson took out a piece of paper with an address vaguely written on it.

Following the instructions on the note, Orson eliminated his aura and arrived at a flower shop.

After using his reconnaissance skills to confirm that there were no more Duke Baikal's spies in the surrounding area, Orson pushed the door open and entered the flower shop.

"Hello, do you know the 'Azazel' clinic?"

Orson walked up to the counter and asked the teller, which was Orson's other goal on this trip - to contact the manager of the underground clinic in Che City, General Herag, who had made countless military achievements for Ursus.

"..."

The teller looked at Orson and then pointed to the door.

"Across the street?"

"Get out"

"Uh……"

Orson, who was kicked out, stared at the flower shop with a frown in thought. Could it be that the address Uncle Isaac helped him find was wrong?

No, although the uncle seems unreliable, he is still very reliable. There must be something wrong with the process of my questioning.

Orson nodded and walked into the flower shop again.

"Hello, I want to buy flowers."

The clerk nodded and said yes.

Afterwards Orson bought a few bunches of lilies of the valley.

"Now can you tell me where Azazel is?"

"Get out"

"Hey, you're quite clear about the distinction between public and private!"

Orson was kicked out again, holding the flowers he had just bought.

"Young man from the Rostov family, you should learn to give up, otherwise it will only make both of you embarrassed."

Just as Orson was thinking about what to do next, a deep and powerful male voice came from beside him.

"--ah"

Orson turned his head to look beside him and immediately recognized the man in front of him, a man with white hair and leather pants and the same windbreaker as Brother V, walking by himself (bird).

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

The old man - no, although the other party has white hair, the whole person gives people the feeling that he is not as calm and gentle as an old man. The other party is like an extremely sharp war blade ready to go.

——The sharp and compact short string music made him feel breathless, but... was he deliberately slowing down the melody?

In short, this heroic old man is the Azazel Clinic that Orson is looking for, as well as Hellagur, the head of the infected network in Che City.

"You are General Hellagur, right?"

"General? I haven't heard such a title in a long time."

Herag raised his eyebrows slightly when Orson addressed him, but that was all. The older man, who showed obvious signs of aging, did not show any surprise or impatience.

"General Hellager, my name is Orson. I'm here because I have something I hope you can do—"

"Please go back, young man. I have nothing to offer you. Your status as a general has long been stripped away. The one standing here now is nothing more than a down-and-out fellow who has abandoned everything."

Hellagur interrupted Orson before he even finished speaking.

——Only people who are down and out would spray hairspray on their heads and stroll down the street in a windbreaker and leather pants!

Orson complained silently in his heart, then unbuttoned his suit and pulled up his white shirt, revealing the Originium crystals on his shoulders.

"I am not a legitimate member of the Rostov family, but I am indeed an infected person."

"...Then follow me."

After seeing Orson's symptoms of oripathy, Hellagur nodded and led Orson into the flower shop.

"Pooh--"

When passing by the shop assistant, the vengeful Orson did not forget to make a face.

The two came to the back of the flower shop. Herag gently pushed open a half-open door, and a basement staircase appeared in front of them.

The space hidden in the basement is a different world, and a factory-like area slowly unfolds in front of Orson.

"Go to 1B and see Dr. Ziegler. I don't know how to treat oripathy. Next time, you can enter through the clinic at A23 Revolution Road. That's the main entrance."

"Okay, Mr. Hellagur... uh, that's pretty fast."

Orson was about to say hello, but when he turned around, he found that Hellagur, who was behind him, had disappeared.

No... Actually, Orson could sense through wide-area low frequency that Hellagur was actually in the shadow of a nearby rooftop, but if he were to expose this Batman-like disappearance method, he would probably be kicked out by the old man with his long legs in leather pants.

Let's talk to Hellagur about cooperation later.

Orson followed the signs towards Area 1B, and along the way saw many people he had never seen in Che City before - the infected.

In the Terra continent, almost all countries discriminate against and persecute the infected, and Ursus is the most stringent country among them.

The infected people living in Che City are isolated and helpless, and can't find any way to alleviate the symptoms. Some people don't even dare to tell their closest family members about the disease.

The Azazel Clinic is the last clue of these infected people in Che City.

"The Rostov family..." "Hey, that guy..." "Has this place been discovered?"

The infected people gathered in the basement noticed Orson one after another, and everyone whispered about this uninvited guest holding flowers in his hands.

"..."

Orson silently took off the ID badge on his chest. He had worn this work suit specifically to attract the attention of Duke Baikal. Now it seems that he should have taken it off earlier.

According to observations during this period, although the Rostov family did not persecute or abuse the infected people in Che City, they did not do anything accordingly.

Sometimes, "indifference" itself is a kind of harm. Even though everyone knows that the "Infected of Ursus" have no human rights, they still hope that someone will lend a hand to them, and at the same time curse those nobles who have happiness, money, and status that they cannot get, but are indifferent to the infected.

Looking at the lifeless eyes of those infected people, Orson knew very well that this was the other side of Che City.

It is neither the bright and shiny "light side" nor the dark side full of intrigue and scheming behind the scenes.

This is just the "gap" where all infected people are destined to arrive, not accepted by society and the world, and no one will pay attention to it.
