Chapter 50
"What? We're going to school?"
"Are you kidding? We're going to school... What else can we learn in school?"
"Learn to grow flowers? Or knit sweaters? We're learning the art of killing taught by [Mother]. We've always lived to kill people. Only killing people can be valuable."
"What can we do in school? Play house and be good kids? I'm not bragging, the kids there have never seen blood. I'm afraid I'll accidentally crush their arms when playing with them."
"Hahahaha... That's right, that's right. We've killed people before. It's too embarrassing to play house with a bunch of little kids."
A group of children gathered together and laughed.
It turned out that just after the Fontaine official staff left, Kugavina announced that she would open a new subsidiary experimental store in Fontaine.
At that time, she would regularly take some children there to experience life and let them learn some simple life skills.
Kugavina also promised them that if necessary, they could be allowed to study in the public school in Fontaine.
The first batch of children expressed doubt and resistance to this thing that was completely inconsistent with Kugavina's previous style.
They were afraid that this was a new way for Kugavina to torture them.
Is school a place where you can study peacefully without bloody training, poison identification, or fighting?
I heard that in school, children can learn real knowledge, not how to kill people effectively.
I heard that the teachers in the school care about the students very much. Some of them are strict, some are kind. They treat students sincerely and hope that students will become talents in the future. Instead of falsely loving them like [Mother], they just treat them as experimental consumables, but still pretend to play the role of a "mother".
But what if?
What if Kugavina really wants them to go to school to study?
What should they do, or... are they qualified to receive education?
Since the day they entered [House of Hearth], their lives no longer belong to them. They have become the private property of the Fatui.
School is too far away from them.
They couldn't believe it.
They were afraid, terrified, but also eager to get close, hoping to get a little real warmth.
That's why these first batch of children would mock, trying to cover up their inferiority and fear with disdain and arrogance.
So, most of the first batch of children who were still alive, a total of 21 people, 42 eyes all stared at Krevy, Sophia and Peruvili.
Sophia must have overheard something when she hid near the office of [Mother] Kugavina.
Krevy is [Mother's] biological daughter, she must know a little bit of the truth.
As for Peruvili... As the strongest of their group of children, the one [Mother] admires the most, she must be very close to [Mother].
Please, say something, tell us something!
Can we really go to school? We don't ask to go in and learn anything, we just want to see what the school looks like.
These eyes are so eager, these 21 children are extremely eager for a little insignificant light.
Facing such a gaze, Krevy turned her head away.
This kind of thing is impossible no matter how you think about it, [Mother] will never allow them to leave her sight.
These children are very valuable to [Mother].
However, Krevy couldn't bear to tear up this hope.
They are very strong. They were trained by Kujavina herself, and their combat power is no less than some Fatui soldiers.
But they are also very weak. Their hearts have been broken and they have despaired of life.
"I... I..."
Krevy's lips moved, wanting to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth anyway.
"I don't know whether we can go to school. But I know that [Mother] is going to open a new store in Fontaine."
At the critical moment, Sophia stood up to appease everyone, her voice was crisp and loud.
"On my way back, I saw that [Mother] had already arranged for people to go to Fontaine. It is estimated that in a short time, our [House of Fireplace] will have its own store in Fontaine."
"Having our own store, do you know what this means?"
Sophia deliberately kept it a secret. She put her hands on her hips, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked very proud.
"What is it? What does this store mean?"
"Oh, Sophia, just tell us, we are stupid and can't think of it!"
"Yes, yes, Sophia, just tell us!"
Everyone was anxious and urged.
"Hehe~ This means...We will have more opportunities to enter Fontaine, eat our favorite food more often, and see more of the city scenery. "
"And, maybe in the future...some of us will find our true love~"
Sophia smiled slyly. Although she didn't say some extremely sensitive topics in [Heartland House], everyone knew it.
But everyone kept silent tacitly.
Frequently entering and leaving the city means more opportunities to escape from [Heartland House].
Although this process may be difficult and many people will die, they don't regret it.
Because if they don't escape, they will die.
Sophia doesn't have to worry about what she said. She didn't say anything, right?
And everyone here has the same idea as them. Everyone is on the same boat. Only by advancing and retreating together can there be a possibility of escape.
Originally, they had more like-minded partners, but most of them died on that nameless island, and the rest are just them.
Peruvian stood behind Krevi. Today she was wearing a long black dress. Sleeves and black shorts, the collar of the clothes turned outwards, the interesting thing is that the collar is white, and there are red lines on it.
Her white hair hung down, covering her right eye, and the black highlights were also on the right.
The strange black and red eyes exposed outside looked at the 21 people indifferently.
These people are not trustworthy. The fewer people who know her plan, the better.
Even Krewei and Sophia cannot know.
…
The opening of the new store [House of Fireplace] was completed quickly.
After all, it was a direct purchase, not a new construction.
Kujiavina only needed to find a store that was being transferred, then sign the store transfer agreement, and then send it to Momang Palace for review. After completing these procedures, she paid the money.
What really took some time was the new decoration of the store.
Fortunately, it was successfully opened two months later.
A dessert shop called [Tianxianzi].
The owner is Kujiavina, and the employees are her "children".
