Maou No Utsuwa

The first thing I woke up into was an unfamiliar wall. No decorations at all, just white painted walls. Why am I sleeping in this place? Only a few questions were on my mind. Kamui immediately remembered what happened yesterday.

This is a church facility in Mittelburg, the Imperial capital of the Schutz Alten Empire. It is an orphanage where children who have lost their parents and are no longer close for various other reasons as well.

In front of this orphanage, which I accidentally arrived at, Kamui was about to get his luggage stolen. That would result in saving Kamui, who couldn't stay anywhere and was on his way after being kicked out of his parents' Honfleet family. It was the children living in this orphanage who were trying to steal their luggage.

Yes, just as is happening right now in front of me.

"Come on, come on"

Pulling heavy luggage all over her body as she raises her voice is a girl with black hair wrapped in twin tails. This is the first girl I spoke to in Kamui last night.

"... Um, are you still trying to steal?

"Hmm? Oh, did you?

Even if Kamui finds me, the girl doesn't look in any hurry. This is a different reaction than yesterday.

"Wake up, not luggage"

"Maria is trying to lay her hands on Brother Kamui."

"Shiatsu?"

"Really? If you leave me alone, I'll be right back. That's why you're here."

"Today... Oh, you're the bishop"

The bishop to whom Maria refers is Bishop Carlo Modiani. He's the dean of this orphanage. Kamui is seeing the bishop last night. It was Bishop Modigliani who gave me permission to be admitted.

"Rare?"

"Eh... ah, lah. Thanks."

"hehe"

Praised Maria smiled happily and ran over to Kamui to jump tot and stick her head out.

"Uh..."

Think of it as something like this, and Kamui gives you the head. In contrast, Maria is happily narrowing her eyes. Kamui's choice was the right one.

"You."

"Maria."

"What?"

"Maria is Maria."

Now it's a little fuzzy. Kamui, who has no siblings and whose younger cousins don't remember being sweet, can't help but be cute at the trick. Afraid, I'll stretch my fingers out on those swollen cheeks.

"Heh, heh"

Maria gets her cheeks fingered by Kamui for a delightful reaction. Because she doesn't hate it, Kamui pinches Maria's cheek with her hands, not her fingers, and tries to rub it gently.

"Mmm, I'm ticklish."

"... Maria is adorable"

"Praised again. Brother Kamui likes Maria."

"Right. I've never seen a pretty girl like Maria before in my life."

"Hehe."

I have a pretty sister. The beginning of my anxiety orphanage life turned out good for Kamui.

"... what are you guys doing?

"What...? Ah."

The voice hung belongs to the boy. A tall boy with impressive red hair standing at the entrance and staring at Kamui. Kamui has also met with him yesterday. It's Ignaz.

"Don't spoil Maria too much, okay? He'll be in good shape soon."

"Hmm. Brother Kamui is so cute about Maria, she's going to be gentle. Not like my brother Ignatz."

"I'm normal. Kamui, if you wake up, go to the bishop. We must have something to talk about."

"Oh... what are you talking about?

I got up and tried to head over to Bishop Modiani's, Kamui, but wondered what he was talking about and asked Ignaz.

"The rules you have to follow to live here, it's a pain in the ass anyway"

All the orphans who were admitted here are told stories. That's a troublesome explanation for Ignaz.

"Right. Okay. Then I'll be there."

"Ah, take the luggage and let the bishop keep the things you don't use. Because it's better not to be alarmed because you're going to live in the same orphanage."

"What...?

Kamui's gaze turns to Maria. The next reaction is not the same as it was earlier or yesterday. He turns away from Kamui, singing his nose deliberately.

It's an easy reaction to understand. When Kamui walks over to that Maria, unlike earlier, she pinches her cheeks with her hands slightly stronger, forcing her face towards herself.

"Maria......"

"Ji, Ji, Ji"

"What did you steal?

"I didn't take anything. Really."

"You want me to believe that?

I was duped by the cute look. KAMUI found that out. It's not easy to believe Maria's words.

"That's where your stuff is."

"What?"

Another different voice. Blonde little boy. Kamui and I are seeing each other last night, too. The first boy to reach for Kamui's luggage and try to take it away with all his might when it is found. Lutz.

"That's where I keep it. It's Kamui's stuff, right?

"Yes, but the contents."

It is possible that only the contents have been removed. I mean, if I were you, Kamui would think so. You must know by yesterday that Maria is too heavy to carry luggage.

"It's okay, because Maria is an idiot"

"No, that's just about it"

"You're so stupid."

"Lutz is more stupid!

Maria, who was called a fool, has been shouting.

"I'll beat you"

"That's not true!

"No, I'm better up there"

"Maria is better!

Lutz and Maria start arguing which is dumb. The correct answer is.

"... Lutz?

Kamui whispers to Ignaz to make sure he doesn't sound like Lutz.

"Yeah, you get it, don't you?

"Because Maria is forsaken about Lutz. I thought it was good and mutual."

Maria had her brother on both herself and Ignaerts. But not against Lutz. Kamui decided that Maria thought Rutz was on par with herself.

"Oh then I won't stop, so you better leave me alone and go to the bishop"

"Oh, okay"

Now it's time for Kamui to leave the room with her luggage. But I could not go straight to Bishop Modigliani.

There was another boy outside the room who Kamui saw for the first time.

"Uh... nice to meet you. I'm Kamui."

"Ah... I'm Dark. Nice to meet you."

The opponent, Dark, has returned a greeting while showing a slight oddity.

"Dark. Kamui is going to the bishop from now on. Let's take it slow later. We're going to be together every day."

"Right. Bye, later."

"Oh......"

Dark wasn't the only one who was outside the room. There were many other orphans. Dirk was on this occasion because he was close to the Ignats, and the orphans who weren't, far away, just look at Kamui with a curious eye.

Just one of them. There was not curiosity, but one boy who felt hostile. If you're worried about that gaze and Kamui is staring back at you, the opponent slips away from his gaze and walks away.

…………

Why can you turn such a gaze on the first person you meet? Kamui felt that orphanage life was not all good.

"... it's alto. He's a tough guy, so you don't have to deal with him. I'm a little smart, so I'm busy."

"Yes..."

Ignaerts says this, but when only one person can be directed at the gaze of different emotions, he can't help but care. In Kamui, Alto will be recorded as a concerned being.

This is what it starts with. Little, it's because of the trigger.

- This is the beginning of six people who vow to be destined together in the near future.
