"Hey, girl, I'm hungry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Yeah, right. I'm hungry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I walk with my sister holding my stomach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm hungry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There's no food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's all I can think about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have no parents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have no relatives to rely on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have been able to survive because we have managed to get by with just barely enough food by teaming up with other children who are also parentless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But our friends made a mistake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They went to pick up leftover food from a certain restaurant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was another orphan's territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He knew that, but he went there because he couldn't get enough food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You can't find them just once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boy who said such a thing and went to another territory was easily found out and beaten up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is an unspoken rule for scavenging leftover food that no one knows who decided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those of us who broke the rule were deprived of what little territory we had.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only reason we have been able to eat at the last minute, if not enough, is because we had our territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But since we lost the territory, we have been surprisingly unable to eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This might be really bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's all I can think about these days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I can do for my only sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the worst case scenario, I would sell myself for her even if I have to sell myself for a human being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, girl. I think someone's coming over there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　It's true. There's a lot of noise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was thinking about all kinds of things in my head, my sister said to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is someone over there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hurriedly pulled my sister and hid in the shadows to see what was going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what I would do if some strange person finds me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A beautiful person."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if it was me or my sister who said those words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that's what everyone here thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a beautiful woman who should not be in this favela.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was a beauty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was wearing clothes without a single stain, without a single frayed spot, and of a kind rarely seen in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could she be from another country?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was another person beside her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A little boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first he was hidden in the shadows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when I saw the pretty woman step back and follow the boy, I guess she might be his valet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... completely out of place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder why those people are in such an impoverished area outside the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aren't they in danger?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people who live here are not treated as human beings by those who live inside the walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why some people say that we should be more aggressive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It must happen sometimes that citizens who live inside the walls enter the favelas without thinking and are attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There they are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are people surrounding the boy and the woman, targeting them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not like we are parentless kids trying to pickpocket them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of them are even thinking of selling even a hair of their attackers for money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I went to ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people surrounding them move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A number of men approach them at a fast pace, as if approaching them naturally, but at the same time from the surrounding area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I saw this and put my hands on my sister's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There might be a commotion here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try not to get caught up in it so that we can get out of here quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's the only way we can survive with no one to rely on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I didn't know what had happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Men approached them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were so close to the woman that they could have almost touched her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And now they are gone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have fallen down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I realized later that five men were lying on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems that it was not the woman who was about to be attacked who did it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it was the boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because before I knew it, the boy had a bright red sword in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what my instincts were telling me after living in this dangerous favela for so long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what's so dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But she's not normal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's all I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have to run away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I couldn't.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think I'm the only one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone was looking at those two, and they must have somehow known they were about to be attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, before I knew it, there was a boy holding a sword and men lying motionless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, people who have lived in this favela would immediately leave the place to avoid being involved in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They should have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But no one could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kyaah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My sister screamed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, everyone around her collapsed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What happened?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know why, but everyone who was around here has collapsed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My body is shaking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... We have to get out of here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have to leave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think so, but my legs are shaking and not moving at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shudder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then my eyes meet his.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my legs not moving a single step, I felt that my eyes met the boy's eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it wasn't my imagination.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because he was walking toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mee, run!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should congratulate myself that I managed to at least move my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could tell my sister to tell Mee to run away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that was all I could do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She couldn't cling to my back and run away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then a boy with a bright red sword came in front of us, unable to leave the place.
