Chapter 149: Not Brother, But Uncle (1)
The volunteer work of the Golden Week has come to an end.
Everyone will return to the Academy tomorrow morning.
On their last night at the orphanage, the volunteer students gathered in the great hall to hear a speech from the orphanage's director, Guilty.
Resembling an old-time theater actor known for his eloquence, Guilty addressed the audience.
" ... So, our parents are working hard for you even at this very hour... but unlike you, the children in this orphanage have no parents... and so you, the wonderful people of the Academy, who should be an example to all, have become the guardians of these children... and these children will remember for the rest of their lives the grace you have shown them over the past ten days... and you are no different than the parents who have given birth to these children in your hearts...."
The tongue. It is only truly effective when it is attached to the demon's lips.
The demonic tongue is indeed the tongue of the demon, and it brought tears to the eyes of many students throughout the auditorium.
Guilty's speech reminded the volunteer students of the grace of their parents and made them feel, if only temporarily, a strong sense of compassion for the children of the orphanage.
It's not even funny.'
Except for Vikir.
In fact, Vikir knew that Guilty's speech was nothing more than a clever tapping into the feelings of respect and indebtedness that the Academy's students naturally have for their parents.
