We discussed hiring at the mansion
“I understand. Thank you for thinking about this orphanage.”
Ms. Anna said once we were finished.
“So, will it really be possible to hire one or two of the adults? Or do you still need them here?”
“No, it is fine. Normally, they are supposed to go out and find work by this time.”
“Yes, and we will eventually want to hire people to work at the mansion as well. You should have more space here eventually.”
“That is good.”
“After Mr. Takumi brought Milina in order to study at the mansion, Sebastian, father and I observed her carefully and discussed the matter. As long as they wish to come, and do not feel any pressure, we thought that it might be good to have children come to train. Also, we were thinking it might be nice to have someone younger, as Tilura will be alone once Mr. Takumi and I leave…”
“Ahh, that’s right..”
If she asked Mr. Ekenhart, Tilura might be able to go to Range village eventually. But for now, she was to stay at the house.“Well, I suppose it is a good thing for them to go out and be independent. Of course, it is sad to see someone leave after caring for them for so many years. But I am glad that they can of use to Lady Claire and Mr. Takumi.”
“Ms. Anna…”
Depending on when they arrived, Ms. Anna might be taking care of a child for ten years or more.
So even if they needed to make space for more younger children, it was understandable that she would be a little sad to see them leave.
“Well, we will do our best to ensure that they can enjoy their life. Of course, I still wish that we could do more…”
“No, you would be doing enough. Besides, when it comes to them, there is only so much we can do. And there isn’t always a right answer.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, they all have their own way of thinking or seeing things. And no matter what you do, you cannot guarantee that they will turn into an upright citizen. We can only do what we feel is the best for them. And in spite of how many years I’ve been here, I am always learning new things from them.”
“Is that so?”
I could tell from the way she talked that she was a kind person. And the children seemed to be very fond of her.
And she had been here long enough to be a veteran in my eyes. But apparently, she was still learning new things.
“Of course. You have to change the way that you praise each child. And rebuke them as well. And they have their own reasoning for things, and you cannot always force your way of thinking onto them…”
“Mr. Takumi, if only you saw her when she was angry. It was very scary. Though, I rarely got in trouble.”
“Well, Lyra was always very obedient. And she didn’t blame others for things. I suppose she was good at appearing to be good?”
“Even now, you see right through me…”
“Haha.”
In order to lighten the mood, Ms. Lyra talked about how scary her old mother superior had been. And Ms. Anna retaliated.
I couldn’t help but chuckle, and Claire and Sebastian also smiled as they looked at Ms. Lyra fondly.
