After the incident was finally resolved, we stopped by the orphanage with the professor.
Thankfully, thanks to the expensive soundproofing equipment, the children had no idea what had happened outside.
As far as they knew, it had just been another boring day where the director told them not to go outside.
Honestly, that was probably for the best.
Something like this could easily become a trauma for young children.
We had asked the director to keep everyone inside, and I had warned him that things might get a little chaotic. But even this was hundreds of times better than what happened in the original story.
At least the kids—and our little witch—wouldn't have to carry those memories with them.
That's right.
I was a considerate man.
"…Thank you."
The professor looked at me with a slightly awkward expression.
"Ah, this is a bit embarrassing. I mean it sincerely, but I don't really know how to say it."
I blinked.
Wow.
