Fairy Tail from Fairy Tail

Elulu opened her eyes drowsily. Last night was much easier than before, and it was not as cold as before.

It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder, but I felt warm last night.

Her little head couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head and stretched.

Suddenly, she froze, staring blankly at the quilt covering her body, and then looked back. Her sisters also had the same quilt on them.

If she remembered correctly, these quilts were brought over by that gentle man.

Could it be that the other party covered them for them last night?

Looking around, there was no sign of that person, only the stove surrounding them that had not been extinguished.

She frowned. She slept so well yesterday. She set the stove and covered them with quilts. She didn't wake up due to such actions.

When did my vigilance become so bad? If that person is a bad person, wouldn't they...

Elulu couldn't help but shudder.

The other girls soon woke up and found the quilt on their body and the stove around them.

Everyone stared at each other in bewilderment.

The clean quilt and warm stove made them feel a little uncomfortable in this environment.

"Hey, wake up!" Esther came over from a distance and saw these girls with a warm smile in her eyes, "Would you like some breakfast?"

Esther bought eight pieces of breakfast, a combination of steamed buns and milk.

When Esther appeared, the girls became wary and hostile again.

Feeling helpless, Esther took out one of her own and placed the remaining seven copies not far from them.

"If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away!" Esther said in a calm voice.

Several girls swallowed, and the older children protected the younger ones.

They took out the frozen hard bread they had eaten yesterday and ate it in small bites.

The younger ones also resisted the temptation and turned their heads to eat the bread.

Esther looked at everything with helplessness in her eyes. Sure enough, it was a long way to go for them to accept and recognize her.

Tread...  

There was the sound of footsteps, and several people with the same ragged clothes walked over.

After seeing these people, Elulu and several older girls immediately became nervous and alert.

"Hey, the food is good, it's bread, steamed buns and milk!" one of the people said.

pop~

One person kicked the buns and milk away, "Are you pests worthy of eating these things?"

"You should eat each other up!"

"Why do you want to live in this world!"

"Damn vermin!"

All kinds of vicious words came out of their mouths. The girls lowered their heads, and the younger ones huddled in the arms of their sisters in fear.

This is a man grabbing a stone on the ground and throwing it over.

Elulu closed her eyes and protected her sister in her arms.

pop~

There was a soft sound, and the imagined pain did not appear. Elulu opened her eyes, and a not-so-tall figure stood in front of them.

"I said, you should be residents of the city!" Esther said calmly, "Don't you understand that it is children like them who protect you from the attacks of gastrea. This is how you treat you A benefactor?”

"Benefactor? Bah~" a man said, "They are just a group of monsters. Isn't it natural for them to protect us?

If it weren't for monsters like them, would we be like this? "

The man's face turned ferocious, "They are just a bunch of pests, pests that should die!"

Aster looked at the other party and fell silent slightly.

"Kid, do you want to protect these monsters?" the man said.

"Yes, why is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem, they will turn into gastrea animals, and you will be the first one to eat them!"

"That's my problem, now you can get lost!"

"Kid! You are looking for..." Before the other party could finish his words, he was stopped by his companion, who pointed to the sword at Esther's waist.

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank, "Police!"

He glared at Esther fiercely, turned around and left with his companions.

"It's okay!" Esther turned around and said to them gently.

Several girls looked at Esther nervously.

Esther only said these words and returned to where she was originally sitting.

Elulu had a tangled look on her face, looking at the kicked buns and milk, she walked over and picked them up.

The bun was smashed, and Elulu took it back.

"Sister!" a little guy asked, "Is he a good person?"

"Sister doesn't know either!" Elulu shook her head, took a bite of each bun, waited for a while, and then distributed the buns to others when she was fine.

"Eat!" Elulu smiled slightly and looked in the direction of Esther. Seeing that the other person still had her eyes closed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Esther closed his eyes, the girl's behavior was clearly reflected in his perception.

This is using her own life to test the poison!

What kind of facts did she go through to become so cautious.

Perhaps because of Esther's previous maintenance, or perhaps because of Esther's food, the vigilance in the eyes of those girls was still there, but the hostility was much less.

This is the greatest encouragement for Esther and the motivation for him to persevere.

……

Time passed little by little.

Esther would prepare food for them every day, light the stove and cover them with quilts at night.

Just like that, more than half a month passed.

Perhaps knowing that Esther meant no harm, the girls accepted Esther's food, bedding, and stove, and no longer looked at him with enemy eyes.

The weather has gradually warmed up, and the remaining coldness of winter has passed.

In the ruins, a fire was dancing with flames, dancing like an elf.

Several girls were sitting next to the fire, holding a small bowl in their hands. They were looking at the young man at the front with bright eyes, or to be precise, at the pot in the hand of the young man at the front.

The fragrant smell attacked their taste buds, and one of the younger girls drooled.

Esther looked at the seven chicks that seemed to be waiting for food, with a knowing smile on his face.

"Everyone, get your bowls ready! Let's start eating!"

"Hi~" the girls made happy sounds and handed the bowls to Esther without any fight.

Carefully take the meat out of the pot and put it into a small bowl.

Every child who gets meat will have a happy smile on his face.

Looking at these smiles, Esther understood that this was what she should protect.

"Brother Esther! This is yours!" Elulu took the bowl that belonged to Esther.

"Thank you, Elulu~" Esther said softly, reaching out and rubbing her head.

"So cunning~, Sister Elulu is so cunning~, people want to touch her too!"

A little girl ran over and put her head under Esther's hand.

Esther smiled softly and stretched out his hand to rub it.

The little girl hummed happily, just like a kitten.

Looking at these girls, Esther felt a sense of accomplishment.

Half a month ago, these children were full of vigilance and hostility towards themselves.

For half a month, he ate and slept with these children, taking good care of them. Finally, he opened the closed doors of these children's hearts and walked into their hearts.

Although it took a lot of effort, Esther felt it was worth it.

……

"I have something to tell you!" Esther put down the bowl in her hand and said.

The girls stopped eating and looked at Esther in silence.

"I'm leaving here!"

When these words were spoken, the air suddenly became still, and only the flames were quiet.

A little girl put down the bowl in her hand, ran to Esther, and grabbed his arm tightly.

"Are you leaving?" The older girls headed by Elulu were silent, but there was a trace of fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

"There is one thing I want to ask you!" Esther hesitated and said.

Several girls raised their heads and looked at Esther. Elulu bit her lips to prevent the tears from falling from her eyes.

"Are you willing to come with me? If so, I will support you from now on!"

Aster's words made several girls widen their eyes.

"Why...why are you so nice to us?"

Elulu did not agree directly, "Is it because you want us to be your tools?"

Aster smiled softly, shook his head, and said in a gentle voice, "I don't know why I want to be so nice to you. The leader felt that he should do this, so he did it.

As for treating you as a tool! "

A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of Esther's mouth, "I, Esther Reno, have not yet fallen to that level of incompetence.

And if I really use you as a tool, I won’t have the shame to see my family in the future! "

Elulu could hear the arrogance and heartfelt emotion in Esther's voice.

"Would you like to?"

Esther asked again.

Elulu looked at the sisters around her.

"Sister, Brother Esther is a good person. Even if he is used as a tool, I am willing to do so!"

A girl said.

They had not been together with Esther for a short time, but they felt a warmth they had never felt before.

What these girls pursue, what they long for, is the warmth of the world.

For this warmth, they are willing to exchange their lives for it.

Elulu felt the sisters' affection, and then looked at Esther, "We are willing to go with you!"

When she got the answer she wanted, a smile and joy appeared on Esther's face.

"Then let me introduce you again, my name is Esther Renault, I am the owner of the Elf Office and the Elf Equipment Store.

Welcome you to join me, my lovely elves! "

"I am Elulu"

"Duo Ya"

"Elena"

"Lily"

"long"

"Mariduo"

"Yiyi"

"Please give me some advice, Brother Esther!"

The seven girls spoke in unison. Different from the past, they had smiles on their faces that showed they had found belonging. They were bright and warm. It was one of the most beautiful smiles Astor had ever seen.
