That means you still resent them, bro.
You're just calm about it.
You can 'forgive' someone but still want nothing to do with them (although i wouldn't consider him the 'same person', but it'd be better to try to avoid ppl the original person knew in the past [i wouldn't be surprised if there was a plot point about his original parents hearing about the success and trying to beg him for money, not that you could rly prove blood or so, but i guess if he gets a disguise skill later that might help, other than being registered with the guild, though i doubt at this point they'd even remember him/know what he'd look like as an adult]), other than like being roped into another group quest i don't think he'd wanna be on an official team with anyone, new or not with his skill and having to deal with the noble ghost lady 'collecting' on her favor later on lol
well with the money you have now, might as well save up for a little place of your own or maybe start an orphanage!
even with young children i'm not sure he'd really trust anyone that might discover his skill (unless he had a private room they couldn't break into), but he was supporting the kids he came across in his own way, doesn't mean he needs to provide them a place to live versus his own (tho depending on the town/what happens in the next arc maybe he'd somehow get some kinda portable RV or just simply stay in a nicer tent or so)
i wouldn't be surprised if there was already some kinda orphanage/center for the kids to sleep in instead of them camping out all night eating dinner after selling off the herbs they collect, since they seem independent other wise versus them thinking it's pity, since before he was also staying in cheap inns, so a small group of children renting a room and splitting the cost isn't impossible.
A children could enter the barril
other than someone scared or knocked out i feel like most kids wouldn't stay still that long/well behaved to not get noticed, esp since MC and the Archer was riding in the same wagon b/c there was space i imagine (plus wasn't the top sealed? i don't think there was any thing to show that there were hints of someone unless they used magic, but if anything they could've just put in some empty barrels to not stand out versus, "we have most of the barrels in the other wagon, this one's just bare because two other ppl are riding in the back)
