The child, tears streaming down his face, was desperately seeking comfort from his accompanying grandmother.

Once Lysander had successfully calmed all the children, it was apparent that the nurses were completely worn out from the effort. Despite this, when they noticed Josiah standing off to the side while holding a lunch box, they didn’t miss a chance to flash a cheeky smile at Lysander before they headed back to their dorm for a meal.

Josiah remarked as he approached, “I’ve kept the lunch box warm all the way here, so it should still be hot. You better eat it while it’s warm.”
