The last time, during the gas pipeline incident, his younger sister nearly got blown up just by being hospitalized. And now, he had an even worse stroke of bad luck—simply walking past the cash register, the mountain of gold coins inside burst out, burying him completely and almost killing him on the spot.

Wuwuwu… Moreover, after inquiring carefully through acquaintances, she learned that his parents had died in action six years ago. His younger sister was too frail for heavy work, and there were two younger siblings who hadn’t started school yet.

This family of four entirely depended on their eldest brother, who worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk. He had started working to support the family at just fourteen, but things only worsened. It wasn’t until recently, when he joined the Police Department, that their situation improved slightly.

Wuwuwu... it’s so heartbreaking. If something serious had happened to him this time, no matter how much money I compensate his family with, I’d feel guilty for life.

"I’m really very sorry. It’s all my fault."

Recalling her visit to apologize, seeing their modest home with hardly any furnishings, the baby-faced girl couldn't help but sniffle and raise her head earnestly:

"Mr. Leon, besides the necessary compensation, all your expenses—lost wages, medical fees, nutritional supplements—will be covered by our Char Department Store. I know you’re not someone who cares much about money, but please don’t refuse this time. Also, if you have any other requests, feel free to mention them. We’ll do everything we can."

"..."

Ah... Your apology is so sincere, it makes me feel embarrassed...

Looking at the teary-eyed baby-faced girl who had taken the blame for two big mishaps, Leon instinctively scratched his head, feeling as though he were extorting her.

Hmm... No, no.

This time was different. If it weren’t for me running into that toad, it would’ve caused massive casualties.

After the Cleansing Bureau’s Brain of the Evil God alters the outcome, it’ll likely be reported as a stampede due to overcrowding during a big sale, which will force the promotion to be halted.

So, by stopping that toad, I actually did Char Department Store a huge favor. And I was injured while helping them, so accepting compensation isn’t entirely undeserved, right?

...

"Uh... forget about the compensation, but I do have a request. I hope you can help."

Considering his family’s situation, Leon adjusted the uncomfortable neck brace and hesitantly spoke:

"Since you’ve already visited my house, you must’ve seen my younger brother and sister? They’re of school age and should have started this past summer. But back then, something happened at home, and the military reclaimed... well... anyway, we didn’t have the money then, so it got postponed. Recently, when things improved a bit, I checked with the school, but they said they weren’t accepting new students this year, only next year. So, if possible..."

"Yes. Absolutely yes."

Seeing the "pitiful good person" finally make a request, the guilt-ridden baby-faced girl brightened up immediately, rushing from the foot of the bed to its side, thumping her chest confidently:

"Our Char Department Store has shares in many prestigious schools and reserves spots for recommended students each year. Except for royal inner schools, you can choose any church public school or noble private school."

"Uh... those aren’t necessary..."

After considering the location of Veteran's Alley and the nature of those schools, Leon shook his head:

"My entire family are non-believers, and given our circumstances, they wouldn’t be happy in a noble private school. So, no need for such prestigious schools. Just pick a decent public school with strict management... preferably close to home."

"Ah. Sorry, I overlooked that."

After hearing Leon’s concerns, the baby-faced girl blushed, apologized sheepishly, then hesitated:

"But for better public schools... the schools in the old city areas are quite chaotic. The decent ones are probably Platinum Public School, Shipbridge Academy, Chelsea Public School, and Westminster Public School. But your home is at the edge of Veteran's Alley, and these schools are closer to the new city area, quite far from your place. Walking daily would take a long time. So..."

Glancing cautiously at Leon’s expression, the baby-faced girl tentatively suggested: "How about I compensate you with a house nearby?"

?.?.?. Wait... shouldn’t the normal suggestion be switching schools or, at most, compensating with an old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage? Offering a school district house outright? Is the Char Department Store this outrageously wealthy?

"Hiss... cough, cough..."

Startled by the girl’s proposal, Leon instinctively took a deep breath, causing his cracked ribs to ache. Suppressing his voice, he coughed hard, clutching his throbbing chest and painfully leaning back against the headboard.

"Ah, Mr. Leon, hang on. I’ll call the doctor."

Seeing Leon suddenly pale and lie down, the baby-faced girl was terrified and turned to fetch a doctor.

But before she could leave, Leon quickly grabbed her back.

"It’s fine... cough... I just... breathed in too fast."

Fearing the weepy compensation officer might suggest another outrageous plan, Leon held her hand, steadied his breathing, and pressed on his sore ribs:

"No need for a house. Just help enroll my brother and sister. By the way, which of these decent public schools is closest to Veteran's Alley?"

"..."

Uncertainly glancing at her captured hand, feeling Leon’s warm palm and rough calluses, the baby-faced girl didn’t struggle immediately. After a moment, she shyly replied:

"The closest would be Shipbridge Academy. Its main gate is at the end of Shipbridge Street, not far from your workplace in the municipal district.

If you finish work early one day, you can pick up your siblings... um... Mr. Leon, your hand..."

"Ah, sorry." Snapped out of his thoughts by her reminder, Leon quickly released her hand and furrowed his brows in thought.

Shipbridge Street... Happiness Residence, where that giant scissors nearly killed me, is at number thirty-five on this street. The rent is very low, and there are plenty of vacant units.

Moreover, the husband of the middle-aged nurse from the hospital incident happens to teach at Shipbridge Academy. Anna coincidentally “saved” his wife, forging a bond of goodwill.

Not to mention, if Melanie and William attend Shipbridge Academy, they’ll surely be well taken care of. If they get into mischief, Anna and I will quickly know. Moving there seems like a multi-benefit scenario, but...

Recalling the muscle-bound old man with the giant scissors that nearly sliced him in half, Leon rubbed his temples in worry.

Anna and the others can move in, but what about me?
