About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Kelsey realizes that Herman is talking about Orson, a boy with the unique racial trait of "Chimera," which allows people to project their favorite race onto him. Kelsey maintains her composure despite Herman's teasing about Orson's capability to handle challenges. She is concerned about Orson's interactions, especially regarding a girl named Filin. Hei, Orson's personal bodyguard, is in a difficult situation because her identity binds her to Orson, preventing her from acting without his permission. Orson, while seemingly harmless, playfully asserts his authority over her, emphasizing the importance of "restraint." Despite her initial frustration, Hei acquiesces to Orson's request to tour near a volcano. As they drive, Hei's bodyguards mistakenly perceive Orson as a danger and attempt to restrain him, but Hei clarifies their cooperative relationship. The bodyguards leave, misunderstanding the dynamics between Hei and Orson, believing there is some romantic interest. During their journey, Hei grows more comfortable with Orson and asks about his violent past. Orson reflects on his experiences, revealing the burdens of having taken lives for survival while acknowledging his emotional scars. Hei struggles to share her vulnerabilities but respects Orson's strength. Upon arriving near the volcano and recognizing the difficulty of communication due to the terrain, they exchange contact information, solidifying their alliance. Orson expresses his commitment to finding and protecting Xi Lan, instilling a sense of trust in Hei that surprises her. He ends the interaction by affectionately patting her head, which further indicates their deepening bond.
