Chapter 1261: Extra: Greta & Olivia Xalvadora
Chapter 1261: Extra: Greta & Olivia Xalvadora
Wander Mountain County, Monthain Primary School.
Today marks the tenth anniversary of Monthain Primary School, and the campus is hosting a special parent-child fair.
In addition to performances and stalls, there’s also a parent-child sports day.
Olivia Xalvadora had already agreed with Greta a few days ago for him to attend.
As Olivia Xalvadora’s only guardian, Greta seldom shows up in front of her classmates or teachers aside from occasionally visiting her at the orphanage.
Although Stella Gibson always says that he appears normal now, Greta is still worried.
If Olivia Xalvadora’s classmates find out her guardian is an Undying Bone, would they ostracize her?
In the past two years, he has learned quite a bit online; one thing being school bullying.
Greta worries about affecting Olivia Xalvadora’s social interactions because of him.
Not knowing what to do, he asked Stella Gibson, his Contractor.
Stella Gibson, upon hearing this, almost didn’t hesitate,
"School anniversary, huh? Of course you should go! Are you worried I have tasks here? Don’t worry, I’m giving you time off, and I need to take Ashton Todd back to my hometown in a few days anyway. Relax and have fun!"
Greta still felt uncertain and tilted his head,
"What should I, prepare?"
Stella Gibson recalled her own school anniversaries as a child and said,
"Bring some snacks and drinks. Right, it’s best to buy a pair of matching outfits so everyone knows you’re her guardian."
Stella Gibson decided right away, "I’ll get the outfits ready for you. You just go! I guarantee you’ll love it!"
...
So, Greta got his time off and came according to the time and place Olivia Xalvadora mentioned.
The matching outfit was already sent in advance to the orphanage director. Greta got dressed and arrived at the primary school entrance, just about to go in, when suddenly he was bumped by a child holding a sausage.
Greta, naturally steady as a mountain, left the child feeling like he ran into a wall of iron. Seeing his fallen sausage, the child burst into tears.
Greta was most afraid of children crying. He bent down to try to console him, but awkwardly. The child’s parent came over upon hearing the commotion, scolding softly,
"How can you cry after bumping into someone? Don’t cry, you can buy another sausage."
They then noticed Greta’s pants stained with sauce and apologized,
"Sorry, here’s a wet wipe to clean yourself up."
Greta then noticed the stain on his pants, took the offered wet wipe, and began to clean it earnestly.
But the stain was very conspicuous, leaving a noticeable mark even after cleaning.
It was his first time attending Olivia Xalvadora’s school anniversary event, and Greta wanted to be spotless.
Looking at the primary school gate in front of him, Greta pondered for a moment and pulled out his phone.
He found the matching outfits Stella Gibson had ordered for him online and checked the shipping location.
In a neighboring province, over three hundred kilometers away.
There’s still time.
...
Meanwhile, the school anniversary started, and Olivia Xalvadora was wearing a little red tracksuit with "Cathay" printed on the chest, holding a small red flag, eagerly watching the direction of the gate.
It was fifteen minutes past the time she agreed with her uncle, and he hadn’t arrived yet.
But Olivia Xalvadora wasn’t worried. Her uncle promised he would come, so he definitely would.
With this thought, she squatted down, idly watching ants crawling on the ground.
Suddenly, a small foot appeared in front of her, nearly stepping on an ant crawling by.
The ant, startled, quickly changed direction to avoid it.
Olivia Xalvadora was a bit upset and looked up to see it was the chubby boy from her class who sat behind her.
"Olivia Xalvadora, is your dad not here? You’re such a liar, you don’t even have a dad!"
Due to her early experiences, Olivia Xalvadora was more mature than other kids. Facing the chubby boy’s provocation, she merely stood up silently and turned to walk away.
The chubby boy, seeing she ignored him, wasn’t having it and quickly blocked her way, saying even louder,
"My mom said you live in an orphanage! You’re an orphan, and orphans don’t have parents!"
The fat boy’s voice drew the attention of nearby people, and hearing what he said, many parents looked at Olivia Xalvadora with sympathy and curiosity.
Olivia Xalvadora coldly stared at the chubby boy,
"I have no parents, but I have an uncle."
"Then where is your uncle? The event has started, and your uncle isn’t here, you’re just a liar!"
"My uncle will come!"
Olivia Xalvadora shouted, "If he said he’ll come, he definitely will!"
Uncle never lies to her.
Uncle will definitely come.
The chubby boy, seeing her angry, became pleased, "Liar, liar, you’re such a liar, la la la..."
He was enjoying himself immensely when the stubborn little girl in front of him suddenly looked past him, her originally angry expression gradually turning to one of brightness.
The next second, the chubby boy felt a shadow looming over him entirely.
An invisible sense of oppression came from behind, and the chubby boy instinctively turned his head, only to find a wall standing behind him.
No, to be precise, it was a person.
But because of the person’s tall stature, he could only see the legs when he turned his head.
Even so, upon seeing the imposing and cold gaze of the person towering over him, the chubby boy was still frightened into silence.
At this moment, he heard Olivia Xalvadora’s voice suddenly lighten up,
"Uncle!"
The person was Greta. Although he used several instances of Instantaneous Teleportation, the store taking a bit of time to fetch items caused him to arrive slightly late.
At this moment, he was dressed in a brand-new red tracksuit with the large "Cathay" on the chest, giving an unexpected aura of integrity despite the common attire.
With Olivia Xalvadora in a matching smaller version, anyone could tell they were related as guardian and child.
Greta met Olivia Xalvadora’s sparkling eyes, and his face softened a bit. He took off the backpack from his shoulder, crouched down, and handed it to her.
"Snacks to share with classmates."
Stella Gibson taught him that this was a way to encourage children to quickly form friendships.
Judging by the bulging backpack, he’d prepared quite a lot.
Just then, he glanced at the chubby boy still staring at him and, recalling his earlier words to Olivia Xalvadora, his gaze darkened before he emphasized to Olivia Xalvadora,
"Don’t give him any."
Even if the other party did something nasty, Greta couldn’t resort to bullying a child.
If he couldn’t physically retaliate, then withholding snacks would have to do.
This was a form of punishment.
Olivia Xalvadora nodded emphatically upon hearing this, "Mhm, I won’t give him any!"
The chubby boy, still watching Olivia Xalvadora’s uncle in silence, heard this and his face fell, his mouth puckering in an almost-crying expression,
"I don’t care about your snacks anyway!"
With that, looking wronged and with a puffed face, he turned and ran away.
Olivia Xalvadora paid him no mind and continued to gaze at her uncle.
Even though he was late, just him being there made her happy.
Seeing him about to stand up, Olivia Xalvadora keenly noticed something and suddenly beckoned,
"Uncle, crouch down again."
Greta, puzzled, complied.
The little girl in front of him tiptoed and suddenly reached her hand behind his neck.
Greta remained still until she pulled out a tag from behind his neck.
Olivia Xalvadora blinked and said,
"Uncle, you left the tag on."
Everyone knows that new clothes should be washed before wearing.
Her uncle sure lacks common sense.
