About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In Chapter 9, "The Rabbit Eats Carrots," Orson, a member of the snow monster squad, is stationed in a snowfield with Pei Te Luo Wa, and they engage in lighthearted conversation while scouting. Orson explains that he's been writing a story outline about a man embodying hot-blooded justice in a post-apocalyptic world. Their banter reveals Orson’s protective feelings towards a shy boy named Ino, who is starting to develop his independence through activities like knitting. However, Orson feels conflicted over the boy’s affection, fearing it might lead him into a complicated relationship, which he humorously compares to themes from certain provocative stories. Their relaxed moment suddenly shifts as they receive a signal from a nearby village, indicating a successful trade mission led by Frost Nova, who is also part of their group. The camaraderie is evident when they tease Frost Nova about her supposed "cuteness" and the carrots she received from the villagers, which leads to playful banter among the squad. As the chapter progresses, it reflects on Orson's belonging within the group a month after being rescued by Talula. He actively participates in missions and is becoming a figure of support for those around him. However, a concern looms over Talula's well-being, as she struggles with her own internal turmoil while being responsible for Alina, a girl in their care. Orson recognizes that despite their outward success as a team, he fears that the foundation of their progress is fragile, especially if Talula were to "collapse." He grapples with the idea of helping Talula through "Soul Tuning" but acknowledges its risks and the potential for negative outcomes. The chapter ends with a gathering around a campfire, where discussions about their future actions and resource challenges take place, reflecting both optimism and the daunting reality of their situation.
