"The nun is dead!" The children easily believed Milim's words. After all, in their eyes, the nun was an incredibly kind person.
After crying for a while, the children suddenly remembered the two people still standing at the door.
The oldest boy among them walked out and politely led Milim and Linlin into the Sheep's House.
The boy didn't know what to do next, so he could only follow the arrangements of the girl the nun had supposedly sent.
After all, the nun was so kind, she would surely have arranged everything. With this thought in mind, the boy began to ask Milim what they should do.
"Since you're the person the nun arranged for, we'll trust you."
"What should we do now? Without the nun's help, we'll run out of food soon."
Expectant gazes fell upon Milim.
Milim was also thinking at this moment. She had only thought about gathering talented individuals but had forgotten that she herself was still young, as were these recruits.
Even feeding them was now a problem.
Milim's eyes swept over all the children present, suddenly stopping on a young fish-man.
A flash of inspiration struck her. She suddenly remembered that her Dragon Eye ability allowed her to see anything she wanted within her field of vision!
"You over there, the fish-man, come here!" Milim pointed at the young fish-man hiding behind the others!
The young fish-man reluctantly walked up to Milim, his head lowered, not saying a word.
A confident smile appeared on Milim's face. "I can find treasure under the sea, but I need someone to go down and bring it up. Can you do that?"
"If you can, I guarantee you'll eat and drink well from now on."
Hearing this, the young fish-man's eyes lit up. Swimming was a fish-man's natural talent! He quickly said, "I can do it! No matter how deep the sea is, I can easily dive down."
"Very good. From now on, you're my subordinate." After saying this, Milim turned her gaze to the others.
"Not just him. I require all of you to train every day and also to go out to sea to catch fish. If anyone dares to defy my orders..."
"Hmph!" Milim slammed her fist on the table, and it instantly split apart.
"It'll be just like this table."
"Understand?!"
Seeing the table's miserable state, all the children immediately straightened their backs and shouted.
"Understood, Boss!"
...
Time flew, and thirteen years passed in a flash. Milim and Charlotte Linlin were now both 19 years old and had grown up.
Nothing major had happened during this time. Everyone trained daily, caught fish to sell to the giants in the surrounding villages, and went into the sea to search for lost treasure on the seabed. Life at the orphanage was relatively comfortable.
"Milim..."
A beautiful, eight-to-nine-meter-tall Linlin with long pink hair, wearing a pointed hat, and with an ample chest, waved her hand happily.
She shouted towards the short, pink-haired girl of only about 1.5 meters lying on the roof, "Milim, it's time to eat! Let's eat together."
"Linlin, how many times have I told you to call me Big Sister?" Milim sat up on the roof and yelled at Linlin in dissatisfaction.
"Mamama, I'm the one who looks more like Milim's older sister."
"Go eat by yourself. I don't want to eat." Milim turned her head away haughtily, no longer looking at Linlin!
Ever since Linlin grew up, she had gradually stopped calling her "Big Sister," likely because of the height difference.
Linlin was about eight times Milim's height. As Linlin grew, she also developed some rebellious thoughts.
After all, overthrowing one's superiors is a classic move. Linlin also had a dream of pinning her sister down beneath her, but she gave up on this rebellious idea due to her own lack of strength.
"Milim, I bought you a little cake this time! It's delicious." Linlin held up a small cake with a grin.
Over the years, if you were to ask what her older sister liked to eat, sweet little cakes were undoubtedly number one.
Hearing the words "little cake," Milim's eyes lit up. She flipped and jumped down from the roof.
She reached out to pat Linlin's shoulder but awkwardly found she wasn't tall enough, so she had to pat Linlin's thigh instead.
"Linlin, since there's a little cake, I'll forgive you this time."
"But I have no idea what you're angry about, Milim!" Linlin was very confused. She didn't think she had done anything to make Milim angry.
"It's because you don't know that I'm angry," Milim muttered under her breath. Because of their height difference, some giants who didn't know them well, only that they were sisters, always mistook Milim for the younger sister. What was even more infuriating was that when the giants learned Milim was the older sister, their pitying looks were incredibly infuriating.
Just because she's taller? Just because her chest is bigger? Can you really judge a person's age based on just that?!
Apologize to all the short people in the world, you bastards!
Although she complained this way in her heart, the little cake could not be forgotten.
Milim took the small cake from Linlin's hand and ran back to the sofa in the room, quietly savoring the food. The ahoge on her head swayed back and forth.
The sight made Linlin's hand itch, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the ahoge on Milim's head, but Milim reacted instantly.
She hugged the cake and moved away from Linlin, her resentful gaze making Linlin feel a little embarrassed.
Just then, another deep voice came from outside.
"Boss Milim and Second Sister Linlin, I knew you'd be here." A very muscular fish-man, dripping with water, walked in from outside!
It was the same timid fish-man from before, now strong and confident.
"Mamama, what is it, Al? Is the ship finished already?" Milim was concentrating on her cake, so Linlin asked.
"The brothers have finished building the ship. We can set sail anytime," the fish-man Al said, proudly patting his chest.
"That's great! We're one step closer to our dream of building a country where all races can live together in peace," Linlin laughed with satisfaction.
"So when are we setting off?" Al tried his best to calm down. He knew what kind of powerful monsters these two young women were. Whether it was fighting Sea Kings or being attacked by pirates, nothing could leave a single scratch on them, especially the time not long ago when Milim destroyed dozens of pirate ships with a single energy cannon.
To this day, Al the fish-man could not forget that scene.
Linlin looked questioningly at Milim, who had just finished her small cake.
Milim swallowed the last bite of cake, patted her stomach contentedly, and casually took out a piece of paper to wipe the crumbs from her face.
Although she had been eating, Milim had heard what Al said and replied!
"Once our weapons are forged, we can officially set sail."
