Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Look, look! This is amazing!

"Wow! Beautiful!

"It doesn't suit me, but if it's sakura, it looks good!

"I think Sena looks better on you.

Me and Sena-chan, who found the cute hammer, were having fun in front of the stall.

"Don't let them both escape.

Purple hair braided on both sides of the head, purple sauce eyes. I always carry a purple sword on my hips.

I was always told that I looked like my father, and I was very happy about that.

My brother is said to resemble my mother.

Your mother has long glossy and rough hair with pink hips and pink eyes. My eyes are as sharp as my older brother's, but I've never thought of them as tough because they always smile.

When I did something wrong, I was a mother who always protected me and my brother from scolding my father.

My brother was very happy that he resembled his mother.

"Father, it's okay because I'm watching!

"Ha ha ha. Siden is your brother. Nice to meet you.

"Leave it to me!

When my father gently puts his hand on my brother's head, he stands near me and Sena with a good temper.

Despite my brother's sword training, Sena and I are always nearby when we play. If something dangerous happens, I can rely on you to help me right away, and I love my brother and Sena.

"Sakura, Siden. Sena, could you come over here and take a look?

Father says such things and invites them.

"Would you be happy if you bought this for your mother, who is answering the phone?

That's what my father took in his hand was a long cherry hair string.

"Yeah! I'd love to!

"Perfect for Sakura's mother!

"I think I'm good too!

Ok, ok! Then take this... huh?

The three of us were receiving pocket money for today.

He's a little kid, but he seems to understand what money is like...

The three of us take some money out of it and offer it to our father.

"Sakura, that's a lot. This is just four equal parts.

My older brother looks at the money I took out and adjusts it to become a quarter.

"You guys... my father will pay you here, so save the money to buy some sweets.

"No way! Buy them all and give them to your mother!

"We like that too!

"Father, let's all buy it and give it to my mother.

"... you guys!

Father holds the three of us in tears at the edge of his eyes.

"It's Shunlai. I know the kids are cute, but it's not like we're doing this in the middle of nowhere.

A man with red hair and red eyes and thick arms. This is Sena's father, Touji.

"What are you talking about, Touji? It doesn't matter where you hold your child.

"Absolutely... even the Four Demons are weak to children..."

"Chi, Father is not weak!

My older brother immediately objected to the word "weak".

"No, no, Siden. That's not what this is about.

"Weak in this case, in other words... sweet. That's what Touji said because I have something sweet for my children.

"Is it sweet...? Father is the strongest!

"It was still difficult for Siden.....

Yeah, that's right. One thing I want to be clear about is that even though I'm the Four Demons, I'm one of them. Even though I am the strongest, there is none that I can resist.

Of course, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone, but this is a different story.

My father was like this.

Even though I was the Four Demons and everyone said that I was the strongest, I was never proud, I was never angry, and even our children, including myself, told me that people were not perfect.

"Now, let's buy a gift for Mother with the money everyone gave us.

"" "Yes!

Buy a long cherry blossom hair string and receive the item from the shopkeeper's man.

I wanted to give it to my mother, and I stretched my hands as far as I could and received the product bought from the shopkeeper's man.

That's when it happened.

"I'm out! There's a demon!!

Suddenly, the people in the shop nearby started making noise.

"Oh, you mean evil demons, right?

"... Sakura is a good word you don't know.

My father said so to me, but later I learned that the word was a strong criticism of the people below.

"I haven't been out here lately... I've been doing business here. I'm in trouble.

The owner of the stall put his arms together and said so, exhaling loudly from his nose.

"Well, stealing from others is not a good idea.

"It's true. Shiki, can you do something about it?

My father is a Shiki, and when I leave the city, many of these miscellaneous requests come in. Naturally, I can't refuse anything, and my father is kind, so I'll take care of everything I can.

We are always busy and hard to play with, but our proud father.

My brother is always practicing his sword when he becomes a Four Demon, and I always want to be a kind and dependable adult like my mother.

"I see... if there's anything I can do, I'll do my best.

That's what my father says and laughs at, but I think it's true that there's not much I can do.

In the first place, my father used to say that it was also their responsibility to create poor people called the Lower People. It is not a bad thing to steal, but it is also a fact that they cannot live unless they do so. When I thought about it, I said in a sad face that it was also wrong to hit it hard.

At the time, I didn't really understand many of those words, but there were people from the demonic tribe...

I couldn't read the meaning of my father's bitter expression at that time.

"I went that way!

"Get him!"

"Don't let them escape!

The voice of the devil is approaching us.

"Here we go!

Hummingly little shadows appeared while people were making noise and moving around.

Seeing it, I was struck by a strong shock.

Black and long hair with rough hair. Just wrapped around a worn-out, dirty, discarded fabric. Arms and feet coming out of the fabric are thin, tense, and all black and dirty.

And the existence called the devil seemed to be the same age as me, Sena-chan and my brother.

I decided that the existence of a demon was an adult on its own.

I didn't imagine that a child the same age as ourselves was living a life where others' belongings were stolen and eaten.

Later on you will find out that the majority of the lower people, called evil demons, are children.

Adults are naturally there, but they seem to be small compared to the number of children.

There are various reasons, such as abandonment by mouth or the death of my parents...

If you're an adult, if you don't make a choice, you have quite a working mouth, and it doesn't matter, but it doesn't work in children's bodies.

I can't work hard, and there is hardly any place where I can use dirty children.

And there's very little... that child can grow up.

Die without eating, steal, catch, injure and die... they're always standing up before an irresistible death.

One of the filthy children is now surrounded by adults in front of him.

"Ugh!!

Does he not speak, or barks with his teeth stripped, as when the beast threatens?

And the child and I met.

It's like black eyes saying there's no light in this world.

Just a boy desperate to live.

This was my first encounter with Gonzo and Sena.

"Sakura! Sena! Stay back! Stay back!

My older brother stood in front of me and Sena-chan and cut my sight off... but I was just sad for some reason.

What we can eat naturally cannot be eaten, we do not know the love of our parents that is given naturally, we do not learn the words that we learn naturally... and for him, tomorrow does not come naturally.

That seemed very sad to me.

"This guy... he's not getting away today!

Surround me!

"Ugh! Ugh!

One by one, adults intimidate the boy, and the boy is intimidated to stay away.

"Father!!

I didn't think so, but I trusted my father.

I didn't think it was a good thing to forgive him for not coming tomorrow.

"Everybody, calm down.

My father was going to stop everyone before he heard my words, and he immediately went into the crowd.

Dear Shunlai!

"I've got the devil!

"Shiki Sensei!

The people of the city cheered as if they had caught the devil.

Nothing wrong with them. On one side, the boys were thieves, and the people of the city caught them.

But it seemed terrible and scary to me.

For a boy, it's just because there's food there, he dies if he doesn't eat it.

Somebody taught him words, taught him how to make money... and this wouldn't have happened if there had been only one person of that kind.

"I know how everyone feels, but can you leave this to me?

"Well... if that's what the Four Ones say..."

There's no mistake if it's Mr Shunlai. I agree.

I see. It wouldn't be a bad thing for Mr Shunlai.

If it were my father... everyone was convinced and calmed me down.

"Father is amazing... in just one word..."

My brother looked at his father's back and sparkled his eyes.

"Hey, little bugger. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ugh!

Even if my father asks gently, the boy is just intimidating.

"... I can't. Then it gets a little rough, but forgive me.

That's what my father said, coming straight at the boy.

"Ugh!!

I wonder where the bone and skin of the body are so powerful... the boy quickly runs up to his father and rips out his teeth.

At that time, the boy suddenly stopped and jumped right behind him.

There was vigilance and fear on his face.

They don't look good from us, but the adults around them also look breathtaking.

"Can you move in front of my father's murder... that guy?

My brother looked quite surprised at the boy's movements.

"Ugh..."

With his cheeks closed several times, the boy is unable to even speak of intimidation against his approaching father.

Tang!

When my father kicked the ground, he was somehow standing next to the boy and slapping his back head with his knife.

As the boy's eyes glittered upwards into his eyelids (eyelids), he almost collapsed, and his father took it.

"... wow..."

Dear Shunlai!

"Thank you! Master Shun Rai!

The crowd applauded the storm.

There must have been a mix of praise for defeating evil spirits, but my father laughed in trouble and walked with the boy by his side.

"Hey, Shunlai. What are you gonna do with that kid?

That's what Touji said with a sigh on Shunlai. At that time, I thought I'd say something terrible, but now I know the true meaning of the word.

The status and dignity of a father who is a Four Demons, the difficulty of raising a single child... words with such various meanings.

"We can't just leave it like that.

"Absolutely... so? What are you going to do now?

"In the meantime, I'll keep this child with me. After that... I'll think about it later.

"Hah... it's always a calm deposition, but it's hard not to think about it later when children get involved?

"Because the child is a treasure.

That's what he sees at us, Father.

"I'm sorry this happened. I'll bring you back next time, so we'll be back in the Mansion today.

"Yes! Is she... okay?

"I'm just fainting. Wake up straight away.

"I'm glad..."

"Sakura... aren't you scared?

Sena asks me to stroke my chest with confidence.

"What? Why?

"Whatever..."

"Hahaha! Sakura is a thistle!

"That's right.

Sena and her laughing father and brother. What's so funny?

So we broke up with Sena and the others and took the boy back to the Mansion.

Returning to the Mansion, the girls who are always moving around in haste are moving around even more hastily today.

"What the hell is wrong with everybody?

When we go back to our mother, she says that strangely.

"Well, actually...."

Is it difficult for my father to say? I cut out the story while asking about my mother's condition.

"Today, I went to the city... to take the child..."

"Kids?! What are you talking about?!

My mother, who is always smiling, looks surprised and a little angry.

"Ah! No! No, no, that's not it!

The children of the lower people showed up and were surrounded by adults, so I brought them here! Don't get me wrong!

"Already... my heart is about to pop out of my mouth..."

"I'm sorry... if I thought you wouldn't surprise me, I've made a strange misunderstanding.

I don't know what my brother and I are talking about, and we face each other with question marks on our heads.

"Besides, what about the children of the lower people...?

"Dear Shunlai!

As she tried to talk, a woman called her father from the back of the mansion. She seems to be in a lot of a hurry.

"What's wrong?!

The woman who opened the fusuma said quickly, lowering her head toward her father.

"That kid wakes up!

"Oh, I see. That's good.

"It's not good! He goes to the kitchen and eats from one end of the food on his own with his eyes slightly open!

Even if you try to stop it, it's gone wild! Your food will run out of food!

I don't think I can eat all the food in Shiki's house, but I want to tell her that it's as bad as that.

"... hahaha! Oh, yeah, yeah!

"It's not funny!!

"Good good good! I'm hungry! Let him eat!

"Master Shunlai?!

"YOU. Then all the girls will be in trouble. Please do something responsibly.

"Ugh..."

Mother is stronger than father at these times.

Father doesn't strongly respond to his mother's words, he always laughs and acts.

Well, I guess so. It's not good for all the girls to be in trouble.

Father leaves the room standing on the spot.

"Mother! Can I see it too?!

"Hey, Sakura. A girl says such a thing. It's a shame.

"Ah... um, are you sure you want me to take a look?

However, keep your posture down and ask your mother.

"I can't.

It was simply rejected.

Er...

"Let's wait for Father to do something about it. We'll wait here so we don't get in the way.

"I will stay here to protect my mother and Sakura.

"Fufufu, that's very reliable. Siden, thank you.

"Yes, yes.

Unlike my father, my mother gently strokes my brother's head.

My brother seems a little embarrassed, but he doesn't seem to like it.

"Cunning! Me too!

"Absolutely. Sakura has always been sweet.

Mother gently strokes her head while saying so. At that time, there is always a slight sweet smell.

His mother and father came back when he stayed still in the room for a while.

"Come on in.

"Yes."

When his father opened the door, the boy was held by his waist.

Ugh!

There are a lot of eating scum around my mouth. I'm moving my legs and getting violent, but I can't beat my father's power.

"Oh, that kid from earlier?

"Oh, I caught you because you were rambling around.

Ugh!

"Here. Don't get mad. What if it falls?

Father tells the boy, but the boy uses his whole body to get violent.

"Don't be so violent.

I looked at the boy and said what I honestly thought because he was in trouble.

"Sakura! It'll be dangerous if we get too close!

My brother is about to get up right away... but why is everybody so scared?

"Ugh..."

The boy roars with a slightly plundered voice, whether his throat has withered from screaming or not.

I just don't know how to do this for the first time... so I just look confused and intimidated.

I've heard that wild beasts who act alone decide whether they're enemies or not. I think it is similar to that.

Then how do you know we're not enemies?

I think it's a simple story. Don't hurt them, just treat them like normal people. I think that's all it takes.

"If you don't riot, we won't have any trouble, and you won't look bad.

"Sakura! If you get any closer, I'll bite you!

Watch out for me, brother. But I felt that this boy would understand... somehow.

From this moment on, perhaps, the magic eye that was sleeping inside me began to awaken. A unique power that resonates with the black stone that sleeps inside a boy and gives him some understanding of him.

Even though the boy doesn't even know me yet, he doesn't know my power, but somehow he grows up and stares me in the eye.

"Ugh...."

"Yeah, if we don't go crazy like that, we'll all be fine.

I gently stroked my head, as my mother always did.

"Sakura?!

My brother said occasionally that he cooled his liver to the sight, but I didn't think it was that dangerous for me, so I didn't really care.

"Gu... gu..."

A boy who doesn't know how to react and gets stuck in words.

"Fufu! Cute!"

"Sakura's right, sweet girl.

"Ugh...."

Mother strokes her head, but the boy gets clogged up again.

"Nah, what? You're very generous..."

"Ghhhh!!

"Nh, why are you barking so much when you're just me?!

When my brother tries to touch it, he barks and bites.
