“That’s not it! I am taking care of her at the orphanage!”
“Orphanage?”
“Ah, that reminds me, it hasn’t been that long since you came to this country.”
While patting Millie’s head, Wilhelm briefly explained. According to him, a church in the west district was doubling as an orphanage and seemed to be taking care of children who lost their parents in some kind of circumstances. Millie was one of them.
