The world is divided into three major countries, the kingdom of spirits, the kingdom of heaven, and the kingdom of demons.

The Kingdom of Spirit and the Kingdom of Heaven are two countries ruled by humans, and they are almost the same in terms of numbers and strength.

And the country of demons, a creature called demons in the world, is almost all gathered here, and it is a country ruled by demons.

In a place called Friel, in the Demon Country, there is a small plain, and at this moment there are more than a dozen children aged between five and eleven years old in the plain, and their innocent smiles are chasing each other, playing and playing.

Obviously, they are in the territory of the demon - that is, the territory of the demon country, but their true identity is not actually a demon, but a real human being.

In the distance, a boy who looked to be about seven years old sat alone on a raised lawn, leaning against a huge tree behind him, as if out of place with the other children, while he looked solemnly at the caterpillar bread in his hand.

“…… Belch......! ”

He couldn't help but let out a slight trembling sound, but finally made up his mind to slowly put the food he least liked to eat into his mouth, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva secreted from excessive nervousness.

It's just an ordinary bread, but in his eyes, it's like a poison that can kill people instantly after eating.

"Uh-huh......!"

After taking a bite of the caterpillar bread, perhaps because it was too unpalatable, the boy immediately wrinkled his face in pain, and threw the bread in his hand away while coughing violently.

"Good...... It's so unpalatable! Why...... There will be ...... in the world Such unpalatable food! ”

As expected, the boy looked disgusted, and mumbled while sticking out his tongue.

"Li Hu, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing a gentle voice from the side, Li Hu remained seated on the ground and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

In front of her stood a slender woman.

She was about twenty-eight years old, with yellow hair that almost reached her knees, and her most characteristic was that she looked like a virgin, and she wore a light blue dress.

"Dean Teresa!"

A smile bloomed on Li Hu's face, and he involuntarily called out the woman's name.

And the reason why the woman in front of me is called "dean" is very simple.

Because the children in this area, including Li Hu, all live in a house called "Tianyu Orphanage", which means that the woman in front of them is the founder of this orphanage.

As if sensing something, Delissa sat gracefully on the grass next to Li Go.

"Haven't you adapted to life in an orphanage yet?"

After asking in the usual gentle tone, Li Hu immediately shook his arm in the negative.

"No...... No! The people in the orphanage are very nice, everyone is like family, and I really like other people. ”

"It's just," Li Hu suddenly said with a bitter face.

"The food in the Demon Country is really hard to eat! You see, especially this bread. ”

As if trying to convince Delissa to believe her words, Li Hu picked up the bread that was still on the ground and pointed at it with his other hand.

"It's like gnawing on the bark of a tree, and I don't know who made it, it's really unpalatable!"

"But everyone else thinks it's delicious, and your sister seems to think so."

Hearing Li Go's repeated emphasis on the unpalatable cuteness, Delisa seemed to find it amused, and she put her hand to her chin and said.

But Li Hu still had no way to accept it.

"It's just that they have different tastes than mine, which is why they think it's delicious."

"Really? Since Li Hu doesn't like to eat bread, how about we go to the market today and buy some fruit to make a salad. ”

After hearing Delissa's suggestion, Li Hu's original frowning brow suddenly disappeared.

"Fruit salad? Sounds pretty good. ”

After saying that, as if he was thinking of something, his expression was immediately infected by a troubled look.

"But when I think that it is a fruit grown in the Demon Country, even if Dean Delisa is such a superb cook, it really can't be saved."

Li Hu couldn't help but sigh, and continued:

"But in short, this is at least not the point that I can't stand the most in this demon country."

"Huh? What is the most unbearable point for Li Hu? ”

"As long as I stay in the Demon Country, I feel like a wanted criminal, why do we have to hide our human identities every day and live a life of fear."

"Well, actually, I know it, but it's something I can't help but do."

Delissa's expression was colored with confusion, and then she put her hand on her chin and turned her gaze to the group of children who were giggling and playing, and explained:

"Because this is the country of demons, if the demon discovers that our Tianyu orphanage is full of human beings, then according to the law of the demon country, if humans step into the country of demons, they will be executed on the spot."

“…………！”

"Li Hu definitely doesn't want our orphanage people to be killed, right?"

"Of course."

After Dean Delissa asked with a happy smile on her face, Li Hu replied without hesitation.

"The country of demons is really hateful, and enacting this kind of law-breaking distinction is clearly discriminating against human beings."

Because of this unreasonable and even unreasonable law formulated by the Demon Country, this situation has happened, and it has also made Delisa live in fear.

Li Hu couldn't help but clench his fists, but it didn't take long for his eyes to widen as if he suddenly realized something.

"By the way, then why ......"

"Why don't you build an orphanage in the kingdom of spirits or the kingdom of heaven?"

As if she had guessed that Li Hu would ask such a question, Delissa said first.

That's right, it's really unwise for humans to build an orphanage in a dangerous place like the Demon Country, not only do they face the risk of revealing their true identities every day, but they may be killed as soon as they are discovered.

However, if the orphanage is built in the country of spirits or the kingdom of heaven, the situation may change, both of which are countries ruled by human beings, and they can be moved in directly with a few procedures, and in fact, even if they are found to have no right of residence in their own country, they will not be sentenced to death.

But Dean Teresa also has a hard time-

"I also planned to build the orphanage outside of the Demon Country at the beginning, after all, it would be at least safer in this way, but unfortunately, the cost of building it elsewhere has far exceeded my imagination, so in the end I can only choose a cheap place like the Demon Country, I'm sorry."

After seeing Delissa's complaining expression, Li Hu felt that he had no intention of leaving, and immediately responded with a wry smile:

"Don't worry about this kind of thing, you can take me and my sister in, I'm already grateful to Dean Dressa."

"Really? As long as I can help you homeless children, I'm happy. ”

After Delisa crossed her fingers with her fingers on each other, she smiled widely.

“…………。”

Seeing Delissa's gentle smile like a virgin again, for some reason, Li Hu was addicted to it, it was like a magnet that was attracted to it, and he couldn't take his eyes off her face.

Probably because of Delissa's gentleness, it made Li Hu feel unprecedented warmth, presumably the other children in the Tianyu Orphanage were the same, because his gentleness made Li Hu wonder for a moment if Delisa was a fabricated character that only appeared in dreams.

But at this moment, as if remembering something, Delissa suddenly let out a "Ugh! "A bang.

"By the way, then again, do you remember the past?"

"It's a matter of the past."

Hearing the question that Delisa suddenly raised, Li Hu involuntarily repeated this sentence as if he had just come back to his senses.

Then he shook his head a few times to refocus.

"Things in the past" for ordinary people only need to move their brains a few times, and even just need to close their eyes, they can easily remember all kinds of big and small things that happened after the age of four, but even things that are so simple that they can't be simpler are an exception for Li Hu and his sister.

"I can't remember at all, Dad, Mom, I don't know what they look like, I can't even remember what kind of life I lived before, I just know that after waking up three months ago, my sister and I have been lying in the Demon Country for no reason, and I have this extra katana on my body."

As he spoke, he removed the patterned katana hanging from his waist and held it high above his head.

"My sister has a letter on her, but it doesn't say anything in it, just an address and a key in the kingdom of heaven."

Yes, since I woke up three months ago, the memories of the two brothers and sisters have been a little confused, and they can't remember anything, all they remember is their own names and the fact that the two are biological brothers and sisters.

If you want to ask what you can still recall now, the only thing you can remember is that after waking up, she happened to meet Dean Delisa, who was on her way to the market, and then was taken in to this Tianyu orphanage and lived for three months.

"Well, I still can't think of anything."

After all, three full months had passed since she lost her memory, and Delissa didn't seem surprised by the result.

"But doesn't your sister have an envelope on her?"

After Li Hu nodded in agreement, Delisa suddenly smiled and patted her palms gently.

"Then as long as you go to the address pointed in the letter, you may be able to find something, or find Li Hu's parents."

"That's right."

"In that case, how about we rent three carriages next month and let the people from the Tianyu Orphanage accompany you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Really!"

After hearing Telisa's proposal, her innocent smile like a sunflower blooming surprised Teresa a little.

"Don't be so excited, then if Li Hu finds his biological parents and leaves the Tianyu Orphanage, I, Dean Delisa, will still be very sad."

"That'...... That ......"

According to Dean Deliesa's character, maybe it will be really sad then, Li Hu also seems to realize that his reaction is a little too excited, but he ignores Dean Delisa's mood and feels embarrassed, at this time-

"Ah~~!"

After hearing a scream from above, Li Hu reflexively raised his head to check the situation, but before that, with a "boom", Li Hu had already suffered a heavy blow on the top of his head, and not only that, but in the end, the whole person even lay on the ground by kissing the ground lightly.

"Gaga...... Yes......! ”

It seems that a girl fell from the tree behind Li Hu and just hit Li Hu, and Li Hu was crushed by the girl and lay on the ground.

"Good...... It hurts——! ”

The girl who fell from the tree let out an octave scream, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, but the expected pain did not come for a long time.

"Huh? How can it not hurt at all? ”

The girl was surprised by the unusual softness of the ground, so she opened her closed eyes in confusion and looked down.

"What!"

The girl made a stunned sound, and it was no wonder that falling from such a tall tree did not hurt at all, because she was sitting on top of her brother.

"Ahh Brother, you're okay! ”

In order to make Li Hu sober up, the girl maintained the posture of sitting on Li Hu's back and shook his head vigorously, causing Li Hu's cheeks to constantly rub against the ground, seeing this scene, Delisa couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Li Yao, I think you should get down from Li Hu first, if you continue like this, I'm afraid Li Hu really won't wake up."

Hearing Delisa say this, Li Yao's eyes widened as if she had just reacted.

"That's right."

Then she left Li Hu's back and stood up again.

“…… Ga...... Yes! ”

Li Hu let out a painful groan, feeling as if his back had been overwhelmed by a move of Mount Tai, and then, with Delissa's support, like an old man, he stroked his back and bent over to stand up again.

"Good...... It hurts, Xiao Yao, my waist is about to be crushed by you. ”

"Alas~, brother, aren't you an ass?"

"This is the waist!"

Li Yao made a fierce rebuttal to Li Yao's question, and then Li Yao immediately folded his hands and bowed his head in apology.

"I'm sorry anyway, brother."

"I didn't ...... It's fine, as long as you're not hurt. ”

After Li Hu finished speaking, he felt that the pain had eased a little, and he exhaled a sigh of "huh~~".

"Then again, Xiao Yao, why did you suddenly fall off the tree?"

Asked by Delisa like this, Li Yao suddenly seemed to be very proud to make a "Ah~~" sound, and then squinted her eyes and puffed up her chest and said:

"That's because I accidentally fell asleep while reading a manga on a tree just now, and it fell off, but luckily there was my brother sitting under the tree."

After Li Yao finished speaking, she spit out a breath of relief as if she was glad that she was not injured, but for some reason after listening to her words, Li Hu, who had become a scapegoat, felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

But at this moment, Li Yao's eyes widened in astonishment and looked at his right hand as if he suddenly noticed something.

"Huh! What about my comic books! ”

The comic book that was supposed to be in his right hand has disappeared without a trace, and he must have fallen from the tree to the ground with him.

“…… Belch...... Well! ”

After Li Yao made such a judgment, then she raised her voice dyed with panic, and hurriedly looked around for comic books, but the strange thing was that there was no shadow of comic books on the flat grass where there was nowhere to hide.

"It's strange, what's ...... How could I not find it? ”

Li Yao still looks like she refuses to give up easily, and she starts a carpet search with a bitter face, and she refuses to even let go of every corner, which is undoubtedly experiencing a terrifying apocalyptic pain for a comic book fan.

After several twists and turns, Li Yao, who was depressed because she still couldn't find the lost comic book, couldn't bear to see her like this, and Delisha gently stroked her head.

"It's okay, since we can't find it, how about we go to the market and buy another copy today?"

After Delisa said this, Li Yao still lowered her head in frustration and replied, "...... Oh. But at this moment—

"Huh? What seems to be hanging from the trunk of the tree? ”

Hearing Li Hu's words, Li Yao seemed to see a life-saving straw, and immediately followed his line of sight and raised his head to look up, only to see a pale gray square object that seemed to be sandwiched between an "R"-shaped trunk.

"Ahh That's my comic book! ”

This is undoubtedly Li Yao's lost comic book, the comic book doesn't seem to have fallen to the ground with her, but has been hanging on a tree from the beginning, it seems that what I did before was just in vain, but fortunately, I still found the location of the comic book.

"Xiao Yao, is this your lost comic book?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, I'll help you take it down now."

After Li Hu said this confidently, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, intending to help his sister take the comic book down from the tree, but—

"This ...... It seems a bit ...... It's high. ”

As soon as Li Hu raised his head and looked up at the height of the comic book, his face was immediately dyed with a look of trouble, speculating that the height of the comic book was about six meters, and Li Hu was only a seven-year-old child, less than one or three meters tall.

Having said that, if you want to take down a comic book by virtue of your height, even if you are an adult, no, it is not something that humans can do at all, and Li Hu has never had this idea, so the only way now is to climb up honestly.

"Wait for me."

Li Hu clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, and then exerted force on his hands and feet while holding the big tree, and slowly climbed upwards like a living giant panda, aiming for a comic book hanging in an "R" shaped trunk, gradually closing the distance, but—

“…… Belch......! ”

Before he even climbed to a height of three meters, Li Hu already felt a period of weakness, and then because of his physical exhaustion, his hands and feet slowly slid down while holding the trees, and landed on the ground again to return to the original point.

"Huh? Brother, can't you climb up? ”

Seeing Li Hu's embarrassed appearance, Li Yao tilted his head and asked suspiciously, but Li Hu immediately pretended to have an expression as if he was saying "how is it possible".

"Where, where, just now it was just me moving my muscles, and now it's-"

Just as Li Hu squinted his eyes and said something big, he stopped talking.

"What......!"

Li Hu suddenly let out a shocked voice.

But this is also a right-for-nothing thing, because of the big tree that she couldn't climb with all her hard work, her sister, Li Yao, only stepped on the tree with both feet, as if she had practiced some peerless light skills, and stood on the trunk of the comic book stuck in three or two clicks, and she never even used her arms.

"Hehe, brother, you can come up and play together."

After getting the lost comic book, Li Yao urged with a smile on her face.

"Also...... Forget it. ”

Li Hu was a little embarrassed to refuse Li Yao's invitation, to be more accurate, Li Hu could only choose to refuse, this kind of height was not as easy for him to climb as Li Yao, and now Li Hu finally figured out the reason why Li Yao fell asleep in the tree.

"It's amazing, Li Yao, you can climb such a tall tree so easily."

Delissa looked up at Li Yao and clapped her palms with admiration.

"Dean Teresa!"

At this moment, all the children who were supposed to be playing and playing nearby gathered and stood in front of Delissa, they were all children of the Tianyu Orphanage.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Now that it's all here, can we go to the market?"

After one of the children asked happily, Delisa raised her right hand and glanced at the time displayed on her watch.

"That's right, it's already so late, so let's get ready and head to the market."

All the children raised their arms above their heads and replied with a cheerful voice, "Yo!" With a bang, Li Yao, who was a beat slower, also jumped down from the tree and made the same action next.

"Then now all the people from our Tianyu Orphanage have arrived."

Delisa looked around as she spoke, and all the children nodded in agreement.

After taking a second look, there were really a lot of people, a total of thirteen children.

"Then before you go to the market, you must remember the following two points, the first is-"

"We must not let the demon find out that we are all human."

As if they had heard it hundreds of times, the children of the orphanage added in unison, and Delissa continued with a gentle smile:

"It seems that everyone is a good child and remembers it very clearly, but there is a second point, have you taken the demon bracelet with you well?"

As soon as the words fell, the children immediately followed Delissa's words and honestly raised their arms with the bracelet above their heads, and at the same time replied in unison again, "Yes!" ”。

Delisa then lifted her arm, which was wearing the bracelet, and pointed at it with her other hand, saying:

"Remember, this demon bracelet is very important, it can emit a trace amount of demon energy, so that we don't have to worry about being suspected of being a human by the demon, and it's not all, as long as everyone wears the bracelet, I can sense your location, and I don't have to worry about getting lost."

After Delissa finished speaking, her hands clasped together, and then she said:

"Then let's go now."
