63 – A Day in Erzabeth’s Life
The activities at the Merhen Orphanage start with making cosmetics.
Ingredients for making whitening cream are all laid out in the front yard, and the orphanage residents take turns gathering there.
A large pot with lemon juice, yogurt kept in a cool place, an oak barrel with lemon water, and so on.
These ingredients gathered in one corner of the front yard are essential for making cosmetics.
Now, the orphanage residents skillfully make cosmetics with these ingredients.
“Let’s work hard again today!”
Director Alphonso clapped his hands, encouraging the orphanage residents.
Lately, Director Alphonso has been living a truly fulfilling life.
A changed life.
In the past, due to financial difficulties, Director Alphonso had to take on various part-time jobs. Many time-consuming jobs.
Due to the lack of time, Director Alfonso didn’t have enough time to see the children. He worked hard to earn money so that the children wouldn’t have to put up with anything.
Director Alfonso lowered his head, recalling the past.
“But not now.”
After Kim Chul-soo left, Director Alfonso dismissed all the part-time workers.
He ended all part-time jobs and only focused on making and selling cosmetics.
Thanks to Kim Chul-soo passing on the skin whitening cream business to the Merhen Orphanage.
They started selling cosmetics, and the business was a great success!
They couldn’t sell enough due to the lack of skin whitening cream.
Thanks to that, the money from selling cosmetics piled up in the orphanage warehouse, and the Merhen Orphanage was able to buy enough groceries and supplies.
There is no more starving!
Also, Director Alfonso had more free time to spend with the children.
Director Alfonso was very happy about this.
“I established the Merhen Orphanage to spend time with the poor children.”
To help the children grow up properly.
Raising homeless and struggling orphans was Director Alfonso’s wish.
“Now I can finally fulfill that wish.”
These days, the children eat well and gain weight.
There hasn’t been a single case of death due to malnutrition recently!
Now, can’t we run the orphanage properly?
It feels like hope is in my hands.
Director Alfonso smiled brightly and directed the production of cosmetics!
Erszebet put her arms on the table and packaged the skin whitening cream.
The special skin whitening cream collaboration with Merhen Orphanage & Kims Charles, with cherry blossom patterns engraved on the container for this spring!
Engraving cherry blossom patterns is not as easy as one might think, but Erszebet, who is skilled with her hands, engraved the cherry blossom pattern better than anyone else at the Merhen Orphanage.
“Erszebet, you’re really good at engraving cherry blossom patterns.”
While packaging the skin whitening cream together, daycare teacher Lina praised Erszebet.
Erszebet continued to work without rest and said,
“It will be helpful.”
“Who? Maybe to Mr. Kim Chul-soo?”
“….”
A faint blush appeared on Erszebet’s black cheeks.
Caught in the act.
Erszebet is working hard to help with Kim Chul-soo’s income, even if it’s just a little.
She hopes Kim Chul-soo will be pleased!
But it’s another story if her true feelings are revealed.
Erszebet felt embarrassed as if her true feelings had been revealed for no reason.
“Hehe.”
Lina laughed, her ears perked up like a rabbit.
Erszebet doesn’t talk much, but Lina, who has known Erszebet since she was young, can tell.
Erszebet likes therapist Mr. Kim Chul-soo!
Erzhebet gradually leaned her head closer to the table as if hiding her expression.
Meanwhile, she didn’t stop packaging the whitening cream.
Her sincerity was touching.
“When Kim Chul-soo sees you like this, Erzhebet, he’ll like it,” Lena cheered on Erzhebet’s adorable love with a smile.
No matter what, Erzhebet was like a younger sister to Lena.
Lena was on Erzhebet’s side.
“Really?”
Erzhebet perked up her pointed ears and showed interest.
If she worked hard, would Kim Chul-soo like it?
“Of course!”
Kim Chul-soo was pleased to see Erzhebet working hard.
Remembering Kim Chul-soo’s reaction, Lena was convinced that Erzhebet’s efforts would not be in vain!
…Of course, it would probably take another five years for Kim Chul-soo to see Erzhebet as a woman.
But the fondness would accumulate.
**’Familiarity is important.’**
Familiarity is crucial in all human relationships!
Why, as a girl grows up and becomes a woman, if she feels like a sister, she becomes a lover, doesn’t she?
Recently, the poets who frequently appeared at the Merhen Orphanage played the harp and recited poems, saying, “Ah~ I made a man like a brother my husband~” in a piece titled “Catching the Key.” This made Lena realize the age gap in relationships.
“When will Kim Chul-soo come?”
Erzhebet looked up at Lena with an innocent face.
Lena suddenly snapped out of her reverie!
Regardless of liking or disliking, Erzhebet had to meet Kim Chul-soo first.
Kim Chul-soo, who occasionally visited the orphanage.

Erzhebet was desperate to know when Kim Chul-soo would come.
**’Oh! I don’t even know when Kim Chul-soo is coming…’**
After the orphanage was doing well, Kim Chul-soo occasionally dropped by.
Because he came without notice, Lena was at a loss for an answer.
“Um…”
“Yeah?”
Before she knew it, Erzhebet stopped packaging the whitening cream and looked at Lena anxiously.
Somehow, Erzhebet’s pointed ears were drooping.
Lena felt a sense of crisis!
“That… Erzhebet!”
“..Yeah.”
“We should go meet Kim Chul-soo.”
In the midst of the crisis, Lena came up with a good solution!
Erzhebet’s drooping ears gradually came back to life.
“Meet Kim Chul-soo?”
“Yes! Let’s make an apple pie for Kim Chul-soo.”
These days, the variety and abundance of groceries at the orphanage have allowed us to make snacks we’ve never had before!
I could make something delicious as a token of gratitude for Mr. Kim Cheol-soo.
Erzhebet grabbed Rena’s skirt and nodded repeatedly.
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”
“Great!”
Rena rolled up her sleeves!
She’s going to make a very delicious apple pie.
One that Mr. Kim Cheol-soo will like!
***
“Oh, Rena, Erzhebet!”
Lunch at the clinic.
I was munching on a baguette with Matthew when Rena and Erzhebet showed up.
The freshly baked apple pie on Erzhebet’s head seemed like she had come to give me the apple pie.
“Haha, I made it once. Please have it with the clinic staff.”
“Oh, if you had mentioned it, we would have come. You came all the way here just to give us apple pie.”
Can one be so grateful?
The Merhen Orphanage is quite a distance from our clinic, yet she came all the way here.
It’s almost like an apple pie delivery service, almost as good as a delivery app.
Erzhebet carefully took the apple pie off her head and handed it to me.
“Here you go.”
“It’s the apple pie made by Erzhebet.”
Rena explained.
“Wow, by Erzhebet?”
“Yes. Erzhebet worked very hard to give it to Mr. Kim Cheol-soo…”
“Rena unni.”
Erzhebet puffed up her cheeks and stared at Rena!
That’s right, Erzhebet made the apple pie thinking of me.
Kim Cheol-soo feels grateful to the adorable Erzhebet!
“Haha, I’ll enjoy it. Erzhebet. It looks delicious.”
“No… Rena unni also helped make it.”
“Haha, then I should thank Rena too. Rena, enjoy it. It must be delicious since both of you made it.”
The sweet scent and the fragrance of the bread spread pleasantly from the apple pie.
The intricate bread pattern is honestly something you’d believe came from a professional bakery.
It seems Rena and Erzhebet are skilled at baking.
“Let’s eat one piece at a time.”
I cut the apple pie neatly and shared it, piece by piece!
“Mm! Oh!”
This is incredibly delicious!
The warm apple filling and sugar are spreading in my mouth.
With the sugar replenished, I feel wide awake.
“How is it..?”
Erzébet, her pointed ears trembling, looked up at me with an anxious expression.
“What are you saying, Erzébet?”
“It’s so delicious!”
“It’s really delicious!”
I gently stroked Erzébet’s head with clean hands.
“I’ll make it again for you.”
Bowing her head, Erzébet spoke in a soft voice.
“Oh, you’re making this delicious thing again. By the way, the only nutrient that goes to the brain is glucose! When you eat something sweet, the brain works well because glucose is replenished in the brain. It’s like putting coal in and a coal furnace burning fiercely.”
“Thank you!”
I didn’t decline. Even though I’m busy with the clinic, if I make something sweet, it’s a thank you from me!
Erzébet slowly raised her head and smiled faintly.

It’s been almost a year since Kim Cheolsu fell into Roland Viscount (in the continent of Arcadia).
Kim Cheolsu is slowly adapting to this world, he thinks.
Standing in line at the clinic, watching the noble patients muttering and grumbling, he doesn’t find it particularly interesting.
Just get treated and leave. That’s the thought.
Having experienced many noble patients, he can roughly predict how it will go.
“Hmm.”
Today is Matthew’s day for treating, so it’s my day off.
I lie down in a suitable meadow of Roland Viscount and gaze at the sky.
If it were the Kim Cheolsu from Korea, he might feel uncomfortable due to the dirt and moist grass and get up, but medieval Kim Cheolsu doesn’t mind.
“The sky is blue, the ground is yellow.”
Good water, good air~.
Living in the countryside, is this exactly how it feels?
To put it nicely, peaceful, and to put it bluntly, boring.
However, these days, I don’t get bored because I visit the Merhen Orphanage and temple occasionally.
“Should I cultivate my sanctity.”
If this Kim Cheolsu grows his sanctity to the level of a bishop, he can marry Miss Catherine.
The minimum marriage condition proposed by Lady Helen Viscountess was to elevate my sanctity to the level of a bishop.
“Access!”
Accessing the Sea of Light!
Now, it’s almost reflexive for me to easily enter the Sea of Light, which has become as deep as to reach my calves.
“As the sanctity rises, the Sea of Light deepens.”
Opening my eyes in the Sea of Light, I pondered over the information I had discovered.
The source of sanctity, the Sea of Light.
