Chapter 156: Mission of Discarded Puppies
Lexa says the three of them should try to get close to the new director. "The grandfather will play an important role in our lives in the future."
Ava doesn't understand. "Can't you?"
"Because adults naturally submit to the stronger."
Alex also followed suit asking, "But he's old, strong how?"
"Strong I mean power, money, and the throne. The position of director of the highest rank here, because the grandfather is also different from the old director of evil, we can use the strategy of "discarded puppies"!"
In other words, use the sympathy and responsibility of adults to pity them.
"But of course this strategy is still not enough."
Their ultimate goal is to survive and succeed out of the orphanage, together. There are two official ways to get out of there. First, adopted. But after months of living in an orphanage, they simply did not see any adults visiting to raise them as children. Worth it, their dilapidated building at a glance has given the impression of a spooky, outward appearance that is instinctively avoided to be far from danger. The solution was obviously a renovation, but the director they killed had been embezzling orphanage funds for too long, the result was nothing wrong.
The second way is to wait for adults. Children who can already get official identity cards will soon be released by the orphanage to live independently. Well, "released" may not be a suitable term, "expelled" to be more precise. But at least they can work and rent a restroom from the social capital they get. Unfortunately this procedure takes years for a triumvirate that is still not even 8 years old.
So the step they have to take first is to look clear in front of the new director.
Fortunately, Lexa knew that the old man had approached Ava first.

"What are you guys doing?"
Target attention has been gained.
Both of Sven's white eyebrows rose, his attraction evident from one corner of his raised lip. "Oh, can I see?" Originally, he had only intended for an afternoon walk as usual, occasionally glancing at the little girl who had been the center of his attention since the beginning of coming to this orphanage. With burns that damaged half of his face, Sven is no stranger to the frightened reactions of children who see him, but he wants to approach them. But different for the little girl, her round black bead flared with the determination she used to see in her subordinate soldiers as they parachuted on the battlefield. Dumb and brave.
... But after seeing the historical documents and witnessing firsthand what the little girl experienced everyday, Sven immediately understood.
The girl must be strong, daunted, and brave if she does not want to be broken.
"Grandfather can be a jury!"
Target has fallen into a trap.
"So, what do you want to show me?"
The first Lexa came forward, reciting her own poetry to a silent rhythm and drifting. Ava and Alex clapped their hands until their hands turned red.
"The message from the poem was so good and profound, I wouldn't even believe it if a 7-year-old made it!" Sven is playing the role of jury.
Next, Alex moves on. The boy ... dancing? His hands and feet moved dynamically, following the rhythm of the beats Ava helped from the side. In fact, Alex was just following the moves he saw from the action film on the orphanage's opaque television. The staff tuning in, the three of them quietly peeked.
But the random movement was still appreciated by the entertained Sven, "You have a talent for martial arts!"
The last one, Ava. She sings. "Somewhere over the rainbow. Way up high's. And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby~"
Sven. Woah, so sweet. Her voice was sweet and gentle, the light tone that was issued also made Sven's mood happy. Unconsciously she smiled. That girl is perfect if she becomes a singer. So late, he did not even realize if the performance of the girl was completed if not for the two others in encouraging Ava.
"Golden buzzer!" Sven is following the spirit.
