Even though their home, bestowed by the vampires, was a dilapidated, dirty house. They lived there with the rest of the Hyakuya orphanage.
The children were running around and playing in front of the building.
One of them saw them approaching and called Yuu-chan’s and Mika’s names. As they did, all the other children noticed them.
First the children were smiling. But when they saw the two boys’ beaten up shapes, they looked like they were about to cry.
How could he protect these children living in that horrible world?
Mika had always been thinking about that.
In this world where no ally of justice would come anymore.
In this world where no one believed in the love of God.
What could he do to protect his family? He had always been thinking about that.
That was why he had gotten on Ferid Bathory’s good side. Maybe he would find a path. Maybe he would find a light. It was with that thought he had approached the vampire.
He did not know if it was the right thing.
But if it was needed, then he had to do it.
Akane and the other children gathered up around them. Among them, many of the children crying with anxiety. As he stroked their heads, Mika looked toward Yuu-chan.
Yuu-chan noticed his glance. He smiled awkwardly so the children would not suspect anything.
Yuu-chan was surely thinking the same thing.
How could they protect their family in this rotten world?
In this place where a single mistake could cost your life, how could their protect their family’s smiles?
Mika had always been thinking about that.
