"Sister, what are these books? What are they for?" Pow Pow asked as I fiddled with my books under the table.

I'm busy finding clothes for her in the online shop, but almost all of them are ugly in design, just like a fool.

"Didn't you go to school then?" I asked when I turned to him.

He shook quickly.

"It's just kinder because my sister graduated. I should have been in grade one last year. But no, eh, mom and dad died," he replied with a shrug while looking for a book.

I turned over the uniform I bought yesterday at the market.

"You want to study?" I turned to him.

He shook quickly. "I want to like my sister, but it's expensive to study. Then I don't want to disturb you."

I sighed annoyed. "Get ready, I'll enroll you later. Let's find a place where you can enter."

She stood up in shock. "Really, sister ?! Are you serious there ?!"

I could see how excited this boy was when he heard what I said.

I nodded. Shouldn't I let him not study? What a pity for this child by any chance.

"Fix yourself, we'll leave soon," I replied.

He applauded as he entered the bathroom. I really don't understand that boy.

Even though he has gone through so much in life, he is still able to be energetic.

I don't know how children can afford to beg on the street and only garbage keeps them alive.

So as much as I can, I want to help this child have a good life.

"GRABE sister, the size of the school I'm going to go to," Pow Pow said next to me in amazement while still clinging to my clothes.

"Tomorrow you'll start, and I'll take you every day. I'll also pick you up, you're good at studying Pow Pow, maybe I'll tease you when you're just cringing in front of your teacher," I threatened angrily. to him.

He immediately giggled at what I said.

"Yes, sister, I'll be fine, for you," he said with a smile.

I was frustrated. "The drama of you being young, you should just be happy now because you are the only one with the best sister on earth."

Laughing, he clung to my arm.

"Sure, sister! You're the best of all!"

I grinned before parting my hair. "I know right."

"Ate, are the children here kind? The children were beggars who were with me then, they always fought me and took my place," he said sadly so I turned around in no time.

"Are you hurting?" I will ask.

He nodded. "I thought it was just a game at first, sister, e. After a while I feel like I'm hurting too."

I helped him get on my motorbike before I rode behind him.

"Nice kids here, Pow Pow. Just when someone fights with you here, just report it to me, I'll slaughter it," I said with a smile before turning on the motor.

When we got home, I immediately lifted him down on my motorbike.

"Pow Pow, feed CowCow inside first, huh? I'll just call someone for a moment," I instructed him.

He saluted first before running into the house.

I immediately pulled out my cellphone to call Zesto's number. But it's been a while and he still doesn't answer.

That's Lintek, I need money now for Pow Pow. If I buy him school supplies, I will lose my savings.

It seems that the underground business is weakening, and I will also lose my income.

I can't just stare at it, I'm not just living on my own anymore, with Pow Pow in my expenses so I need more money.

I was about to return home when I suddenly remembered what Caspeia had told me before.

"You'll earn more when you join our group. One mission, worth a million."

I closed my eyes tightly when I remembered that woman's voice.

Can't, Silhouette, are you stupid?

I left the agency because I wanted to have a normal and good life, I didn't want my life to be in jeopardy. And when I join Delta, my life will get even more chaotic.

"I just need to boil my life. What's that, Silhouette, are you ramen?" Annoyed, I messed up my hair before entering the house.

I immediately saw how my pet baby and my pet turtle were tender.

I don't know about CowCow here, it's so exciting when PowPow takes care of him. These are traitors.

"Pow, 'lika rito," I said to Pow Pow who immediately ran in my direction.

"Why, sister?" he asked as he sat down next to me.

"We'll buy later what you're going to use at school, huh? You're with me, you'll get tired," I said with a smile before ruffling her hair.

"Copy that, ma'am!"

Laughing I shook as I watched him go up to his room.

I just leaned on the sofa while thinking about where I would make money.

Delta is strong, a lot of money is being made because of it, they are one of the best groups in the world.

A million every time they do a mission, that's not the whole point. Maybe a million per person.

But every time I think about how dangerous my life will be by the time I join them, it seems like I just want to commit suicide.

I refused the agency and then I just joined Delta? Panis, galawan ng mga mukhang pera, biro lang.

I stood up in annoyance when it crossed my mind. I resigned from the agency as head, and now I plan to accept Delta's offer. The only difference is, I am no longer a leader, I am already one of the members.

"Knights," I mentioned the Delta leader's last name.

That last name is the one I will never try to fight, no matter how strong or stupid I am. I know my limitations, and I also know what kind of family they are.
