"Is the child doing fine?"

Hiroto asked as he returned to the mansion. Leaning against the wall next to the kitchen while Saya, Shizuka and Saeko all stand next to him. Peeking at the skinny red-haired little girl that Hiroto picked up from the torture chamber of the stray guild.

"How to say this... her body was on a brink on collapsing. It looks like she haven't eaten for an entire week, and many of her wounds are still fresh... this meant that she was probably tortured before you found her"

Shizuka said with a pained expression on her face after thinking what that small child has gone through. Making Hiroto remain silent as he watch Kaede and Shiro feed the child various snacks inside the kitchen.

"She's also a lot shorter than girls her age... she said she was 9 years old but... her height is that of a 5 year old. Honestly... Not only was she starved but she was also often tortured. While we were bathing her, we saw various cuts, bruises, and even burn marks. what kind of people would do something like this?"

"... Shizuka can heal her once she absorbs the [Saintess System]"

Hiroto said before he let out a sigh. Since, Kaede is already finished with her training. He plans to send them all first to Kaede's dimension so that they can strengthen themselves through the game of her dimension. All because they would be summoned as avatars, and any changed in their bodies in that dimension would be recorded by their systems.

"I need to buy counterfeit tokens at the [Guild Shop] tomorrow... I'll focus on helping Kaede find a suitable system for her set of skills"

He said, since he plans to give it to Kaede. He wanted to synthesize 3 original system tokens that all focuses on defense just like she wanted. Only by synthesizing 3 pure system tokens can he get either a Supreme or High grade systems.

To synthesize a pure system token, he needed 6 copies of its counterfeit, Which means that at least he would need to spend 3000 system tokens for one original system token. This made him feel a bit of headache since as of now, they're lacking in system tokens. Even though they now have a constant profit of 10k per day. He could only spend 4k since the other 6k would he used for the guild.

"[Vanguard System]'s and [Shieldmaiden System]'s counterfeit tokens cost 500 system tokens each... I'll just use the [Bodybuilder System] that I got from before to see what kind of system I would get"

He said before he glanced at his lovers with a serious expression on his face. Making then silently stare back at them before he opened his mout-

"Why don't we adop-"

"You haven't even given us a child yet, and you're already thinking of adopting someone???"

"... forget that I ever said anything"

He said, causing Saya to let out a sigh in response before taking out a form from his pocket and placed it on his chest. Making Hiroto tilt his head in confusion before he grabbed it to read what it was.

"An adoption registry?? I thought you girls don't want to adopt her?"

"Read carefully"

She said with a frown, causing Hiroto to look back at the adoption registry on his hand. Reading its contents carefully before he saw his mother's name written on the form. Making him widen his eyes in surprise before looking back at them. Opening his mouth to say something but was stopped by Saya who placed her finger on his lips.

"I know what you're going to say, but we didn't force your parents. When they saw the child, they decided to adopt her since... your father said taking care of a child would only burden you. That's why he and your mother decided to adopt her. We got this form from the government website, and we would just need to pass it tomorrow morning... it looks like mom is also feeling a bit lonely since none of her children is living with them anymore"
