About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson finds himself in a moment of introspection at a shop while with Hei, contemplating the allure of a pair of mechanical boots. Orson's longing for the boots is contrasted by his feelings of embarrassment, especially when Hei observes him. They then go on to explore various locations in Sista, enjoying fresh coconut juice on a bustling pedestrian street, while Hei reflects on the fleeting nature of memories. Orson receives a phone call from Kelsey, which leads to a comedic argument about their relationship, revealing Kelsey's jealousy as she threatens to confront him in person. Hei, sensing the tension, whimsically offers to protect Orson, and they run through the streets, with Orson humorously anticipating the consequences from Kelsey later. The narrative shifts to a larger context in Chernobog, detailing its transformation from noble territory to a burgeoning city ruled by the rising nobility after a fierce war. The Unified Integration Movement, a security company formed from these new elite forces, is introduced as Orson stands at a recruitment meeting that quickly devolves into chaos. The attendees, made up of various mercenaries, disregard Orson's authority, leading to a humorous realization about Alina's ability to manage such unruly crowds. Orson, trying to assert his role as a navigator for the group, struggles against their disdain. Just as the meeting hits a peak of disarray, a legendary figure known as the "patriotic master" arrives, instantly silencing the crowd. The patriotic master seeks Orson's advice on managing personal matters, prompting a comedic exchange about his desire for family. After the patriotic master leaves, Orson tries to regain control but is met with hostility from the crowd, as they mistake his challenge to fight as a sign of weakness. The chapter ends with Orson, feeling the pressure of the situation, half-jokingly wishing for an opportunity to escape the chaotic recruitment meeting.
