... live free!

I was in a room I didn't know when I woke up.

"What is this place?

I thought so and tried to wake up my body.

"Ouch!

When I tried to move my body, it hurt everywhere and I couldn't move well. Why is my body hurting so much? I thought but I don't know... Why are you sleeping here in the first place? I thought so.

"Speaking of which,"

and sleep? I remember before. I was trying to stop that because I was bullying a girl. Then maybe, but I think he beat me from behind and lost consciousness. After that, I don't know what happened, but my whole body hurts, so maybe he beat me up. Someone came into my room thinking that. Guess who? I thought so, but it hurts and I can't move well.

"Are you awake? Are you okay?"

That's what I said and came running over was a little girl. When I looked at my face, I noticed that it was swollen everywhere and I thought of it as painful.

"Could it be the girl who was behind the orphanage?

I thought so because I looked a lot like the girl then.

"Oh, yeah. Well, I'm sorry!

That's what the girl said, she kept her head down.

"Huh? What??

A girl came suddenly apologizing, but I don't know what it was for. At that time, I had no element to be apologized for because I just stuck my neck in from myself... and what is it?

"It's... I can't stop what happened after you fell..."

So he told me about what happened after that.

Apparently the older kids who were bullying about the girls were Mendez, Brad and Onoma. He said it was a kid named Onoma who hit me from behind because of it.

After I was beaten and fell, three of those men and women were kicking me with their feet saying, "This woman is annoying" or something. Besides, she said it had been a long time since I was unconscious, but she couldn't stop it and apologized for it earlier.

"You don't have to apologize. I'm here, too, which means you carried me, right?

Saying so, the girl nodded.

"Besides, I'd be curious if a little kid was bullied, wouldn't I?

Saying so, the girl looked dissatisfied.

"Me, I'm still five years old. Maybe just like you or older, so don't treat me like a little girl."

I was a little surprised to hear the words. When I lived in the village, it was about a little lower, girl. No, she thought she was younger because she was about ten centimeters smaller than me, but she was the same age...

"I'm five, too, but that... I'm sorry?

Apologizing for saying that, she turned to it with a glow.

"... you don't have to worry about it. I'm sorry."

"Forget it, and I'm in the same orphanage, but I've never talked to you, have I?

"Right."

And I've said that in a hard way. I wonder what's wrong? I thought so, but shouldn't I ask? and bothered to stop listening in the end. What I regretted if I had listened to later then was that we were still ahead of us.

"I am, Youre, what is your name?

"It's Rain."

And they said it in a slightly less rustic way, but I don't care. I didn't know what to say, but I thought she and I were going to get along.

"You're Rain, aren't you? Nice to meet you."

"Ugh, yeah. Nice to meet you, too."

That's what Rain said, she glanced over at me, but she quickly missed her gaze. But are her ears lit up because they were red? And I thought that.
