"I agree!"

"First Mate Kelly..."

"That was really just a joke. Did you overreact?"

First, he quickly pulled the angry Gordon to sit down to avoid aggravating the situation, and then John on the side asked Kelly again with a shy smile and flattery and hope.

"joke?"

"It seems you still don't understand!"

She was furious and looked at the two people in front of her with a bit of laughter and tears. After a while, Kelly regained her face and replied seriously:

"That's right!"

"Annie did do a lot of naughty things, including all kinds of pranks and even worse ones!"

"but!"

"You have to understand, Annie is a child, so she can do that!"

"But you are adults and official members of the Orville, so you can't do that!"

"have you understood?"

Wrinkling her eyebrows, Kelly couldn't help but have a headache and blush as she had to explain such a boring question to the two adult men in front of her who were both older than herself.

However, she felt relieved when she thought that she was the first mate and the other two were her crew members.

After all, this is one of her jobs. Coordinating the relationships and conflicts among the crew members is a responsibility that she, the first mate, must perform, and she cannot shirk it.

"this!"

"Is it true that children can make mistakes and play pranks without restraint, but we can't make a small joke?"

"God damn it!"

"That's not fair!

"

After looking at each other dumbfounded again, Gordon and John wailed together, expressing that they were very, very dissatisfied with the unfair treatment and unjust treatment.

"The question of chess..."

"really!"

"You are really right."

Kelly nodded, not denying it.

"In fact, children can make mistakes and mischief as they please, and they can even commit crimes without having to pay any price!"

"And what's even more terrible is..."

"Even if Anne makes a big mistake, you can't find her guardian, let alone discipline her!"

"Who made you all so old now?"

At this point, Kelly put her arms around and gave the two of them a gloating smile.

So far, although Annie has indeed been mischievous, and even committed crimes to some extent, such as seizing a ship by force or blowing up Yafeit or something?

But fortunately, no particularly serious consequences occurred in the end, and some were even very beneficial to the Orville, so neither she nor Ed ever thought about pursuing the matter seriously.

even……

As far as she knew, even the headquarters of the Alliance of Planets had no intention of pursuing the case. Those high-level officials just acquiesced in allowing the other party to continue to stay in the still-undetermined capacity of the 'Head of the League of Legends of the Koprulu Sector'

The Orville remained aboard and continued to act recklessly and do as he pleased.

"this!"

"Well……"

Gordon and John looked at each other again.

Then, they had to admit that it seemed that what their first mate said was so reasonable that they racked their brains and couldn't think of a word to refute?

"Okay, you're right, I really have nothing to say."

"But Mate Kelly!"

"I suddenly felt..."

"Perhaps you could consider becoming Anne's guardian?"

Gordon, who was at a loss for words, thought for a while, and finally had no choice but to suggest this to Kelly in a frustrated and uneasy way.

"!

"

"good idea!"

John was startled, and then quickly agreed.

"No!"

"no way!"

"Stop your little thoughts!"

"I'm not stupid enough to want to be responsible for that little guy Annie!"

Knowing that the two guys in front of her wanted to drag her into trouble, Kelly didn't even think about it and just flatly refused with a straight face.

Now she was already having a headache just being responsible for Anne's daily affairs. If it weren't for the occasional help from Claire, who had experience in taking care of children, she would have been driven crazy. And if she was stupid enough to act as

As the official guardian of the other party, if the other party makes a mistake or plays a prank, she will be held responsible. She is not stupid for such a thankless thing, so how could she fall for it so easily?

"Aha!"

(?ω?)

"Hello everyone!"

?(￣??)???

"Did you just talk about someone else?"

??(′?｀?)???

Finally, after hearing people in the room mentioning herself many times, Anne, who had been eavesdropping outside for a while, couldn't help it anymore, so she opened the door and broke in.

"!

"

"?!"

Gordon and John, who were talking inside, were naturally startled when they saw Anne barging in without notice.

"my God!"

"Annie!"

"How did you break in?"

The first mate Kelly looked even more incredible.

Because she didn't receive any request to open the door just now, and she didn't agree to anyone coming in at all, but the hatch just opened automatically.

"They didn't break in..."

(⊙o⊙*)

"I just used Uncle Ed's permission password!"

(????-)

Anne didn't hide anything at all, openly telling the truth that she had secretly secretly memorized Captain Ed's access code, and then used it just now.

"..."

"..."

"Mate Kelly!"

"Do you have anything else to do?"

At this time, Gordon and John winked at each other, then looked at Kelly and asked before Annie could say anything else.

"Gone."

"That's all for today!"

Now that Annie has barged in, it is natural that certain things should not be said too much in front of children. After all, no matter how dissatisfied she is with Gordon and John, she still needs to save some face for them.

.

"You guys go out first!"

"Remember what I just said, and think about it carefully when you go back, what should you do to gain the forgiveness of Yafeite and Petrus?"
