[CHAPTER 4 : DINNER]

Ericka said, "Haaaaaahhhhhhh... Sis Eli, what do you think about the guys? In my opinion, their minds are only filled with playing and laziness. Why do we always have to do the work of taking care of the church?" "Ahahahaha, that's just how boys are when they're young, but you'll see the difference in their sense of responsibility when they grow up. I hope my answer helps you," replied Eli.

Ericka and Eli continued to clean the front yard of the church, and suddenly the boys came back carrying a bucket full of water. Maas said, "Finally.....*huft *huft *huft *huft. We-have *huft collected water from the riveeeeer..." Eli said, "Good job, Maas, and all of you."

Bianka came from the forest after hunting some rabbits. "Hello everyone~~~ Hello, Sis Eli. We got eight rabbits from the traps we set earlier," she said. Siska said, "Today might be our lucky day. We can make rabbit soup. Why do you look like you're the hardest worker among us? You only took water from the river. What's so difficult about that?" Maas replied, "SHUT UP!! *huft *huft Can't you see how far the river is?" Eli said, "Alright, let's stop arguing. Hmm, how about we cook rabbit soup? We also have water from the hard work of the boys." Siska said, "Yes, maybe Sis Eli is right. Let's cook."

Sister Rika, Taya, and Marin helped the girls in cooking, while the boys prepared and cleaned the table for the meal. They all prayed under the guidance of Father Yoseph, "God, the creator of all things, the God who always gives pleasure, the God who always gives protection. We express our gratitude for the blessings you have given us, which are in the form of food. Without you, we are only lost sheep who cannot do anything. Amen."

Night fell, and the quiet and peaceful night awakened Thili from his sleep. He wanted to go to the bathroom, and then he heard his stepsister talking to Sister Rika. After a while, they started arguing, which made Sister Rika angry. Her anger peaked, and she tried to inject Kak Eli with a syringe, but Thili pushed her away.

The syringe containing a liquid pierced Thili's neck, and he felt an incredible pain that made his tears flow non-stop. Sister Eli was pushed by Thili and hit the table, spilling the liquid on her face. Rika shouted, "THIILLIIII!!!!!!!! YOU LITTLE RASCAL, WHY CAN'T ANYTHING GO ACCORDING TO HIS WISHES!!" Thili and Kak Eli could only moan in pain. Sister Taya quickly came and made them all fall asleep with instant magic, stopping the commotion.

The night became quiet, peaceful, and dark again...
