I need a favor.

"Please? What?

"Please take me with you.I don't want to leave Me and Meetya. "

For a while, we were crying and eating rice balls without feeling sad at all.

After eating a grain of rice beautifully until, on the contrary, the taste of salt on my hands stopped.

I don't want to leave my sister Meatier.

He wants me and Hannah to come with him.

"Hmm. What do you think, Eye?

"The number of orphans we plan to bring in is five.Acceptable, I think. "

Well, I'll take you there.Hannah, come with me.Me, too. You got it?

Yeah, here we go.

You sure about that?

I thought you said I was the only one you could take.

You mean, the five of us?

Does that mean we're taking five orphan children out of this ghetto?

"Um, are you going to look for other kids and take them out of here?

"That's right. That's what I'm gonna do."

"Then why don't you take our people with you?

"Friends? Oh, there are friends with orphans."

"Yes, I'm always with you.Take the children with you.Please. "

I beg you

I lowered my head to the boy I named Alphonse.

Looking at it, I was hanging around with it.

I see. Well, for now, I'd like you to introduce me to that fellow.Listen to me and if you work for me, I'll take you with me. "

"I see. Uh, well, wait here.I'll call you. "

"Shall I come with you?

"No, it's a dirtier place than here, so I'll bring it in.Oh, I'm sorry we're so dirty. "

"Speaking of which, it's really dirty.Clean it up. Yes, it's clean. "

Huh? Huh?

What did you just do?

The boy touched me and said something.

That alone made our bodies clean.

Even though it was so dirty, it was cleaner than when I washed my body with water.

Oni-chan, come on

"Ah... I'm in trouble.That's why it's so beautiful.... "

"Hmm? Was it bad when it was clean?

"You know, walking around in a nice costume gets attacked."

"Oh, I see.Speaking of which, some of them just approached.Oh, is that what happens when you just walk in beautiful clothes?Well then, I'll follow you. "

"But it gets dirty."

"It's okay. I can get rid of the dirt as soon as I did just now.Let's go then. Let's see who they are. "

That's how the boy walks.

We hurried after it and headed to where we usually slept.

After all, along the way, I was about to be attacked several times by a pretty eye.

But every time, the boy defeats.

It seems that this boy's name is Alphonse.

They say he is the brother of a king of another country.

Is that true?

I don't know why the King's brother is here, but I know it's completely different from ordinary people.

Talk while moving.

I was surprised to hear why Alphonse was gathering people.

Mercenary manpower?

"[]/(adj-na, n, adj-no) (uk) peeling/peeling/peeling/"

It is impossible for me or Me to be a mercenary.

When I was walking, I heard it and stopped unexpectedly.

But I don't think I need to be a mercenary.

It seems that Ai will educate the orphan.

And it seems that the educated children should do what they think will be good for the mercenaries.

Even if you say such a thing, you still think it's impossible.

I mean, I don't think orphans like us can do decent work.

But we can't just do it.

I couldn't say it was impossible because I was with Me.

Besides, the feeling of security was different.

Alphonse walks in front.

It's a solid body unlike us, but a boy younger than me.

Just following Alphonse's footsteps made the scenery completely different from the usual ghetto.

Always move around without danger while checking the surroundings.

Orphans are the lowest of the poor.

Worst case scenario, being treated as a thief and beaten up even if it was in my eyes.

I had to be careful not to touch other people's eyes.

But not now.

The clothes I'm wearing are worn out, but I'm still walking in a beautiful state I've never seen before.

Normally, they would've attacked you just for being cheeky, giving me those clothes.

There is no such reason.

I don't see anyone approaching, but Alphonse is taking him down.

The sight must have been too unnatural.

Someday, others began to pave the way for us to walk on their own.

I am holding my hand and laughing all the time.

I feel like I've never seen you say anything other than being hungry lately.

The mere fact that I was laughing made me decide.

Let's follow this man.

You may think this decision was a mistake.

But if I say no here, I'll never see these people again.

We may not be able to get out of the ghetto either.

I introduced the orphans and convinced everyone to leave here with the five of them.
