“You’re Mr. Boxxo, correct? Thank you very much for this. You’ve helped us in so many ways.”

The next thing I know, Miss Director is standing right next to me.

I’m still not sure exactly how she feels about me, but she does bow her head deeply to a vending machine.

“Welcome.”

“Um, that’s an affirmative, right? I’ve been worried about Shui. She’s been brooding over something recently, but seeing her like this today puts me at ease. Please continue to take good care of her.”

What a benevolent person, to thank a mere vending machine and find it in herself to entrust Shui’s well-being to me. Although she’s acting nice, I’m really not used to situations like this—if I had a body, I’d be cringing.

Anyway, what could Shui be worried about when she has such a warm place to come home to? It probably takes a lot of funding to maintain an orphanage, so maybe she’s after money. Hmm. It would be rude to pry in a situation like this.

After laundry and baths, I end up treating everyone to dinner. Figuring everyone would like foods they’ve never had before, I provide frozen meal sets and cup ramen. The nutritional balance bothers me, though, so for dessert I give them fruits and crepes.

The floors in the cafeteria as well as the rooms are still of dubious durability, so they decide to keep me next to the front door of the orphanage. It’d be too risky to have me on the floorboards, after all.

I thought I’d have a moment to myself to relax while the kids ate, but they said I’d be lonely by myself, so they ended up bringing the chairs and tables outside to eat in the yard.

There are a lot of empty houses around this orphanage. They probably wouldn’t get that many complaints, even if they were rowdy. Immediately upon putting a forkful of food in their mouths, they shout their praise to the heavens.

“Don’t eat so fast, guys. The food’s not going anywhere.”

Shui briskly takes care of the kids’ needs. She’s playing the responsible older-sister role. I know how much of a heavy eater she is, but she’s putting her own meal last and prioritizing the kids.

The children’s clothing is all rather plain… No, I’m being too ambiguous. They’re all wearing shoddy clothing, and not one of them has much in the way of fat. Still, I can’t see any overly skinny ones, either, so it seems like they’re managing to eat enough food to survive.

Maybe I’ll give them some underwear, T-shirts, and towels later.

I could also donate money, but would it be right to accept charity from a vending machine? At times like this, I don’t know how much I should really be getting involved or how much to give. If I had the ability to talk normally, could I give aid without rubbing anyone the wrong way?

I’ve been thinking only of accumulating money in order to gain points, but when I look at these kids seeming so happy despite being in poverty, I start to feel like a bit of a lowlife.
