The Birth of a Young Child

Little birth

Suburbs of Tokyo.

Hoshikawa and his three companions arrived at the temple mentioned by the police and found the orphanage located behind the temple.

"So this is the orphanage. This is the first time I've seen one."

Kishida looked at the tombstones on the ground, all of which were engraved with images of children, and couldn't help but touch them.

"These children were abandoned by their parents at birth. In order to suppress the children's resentment, the government builds temples next to the orphanages." Masaki Keigo sighed.

If you don't want children, why not just not have them? Why have children and then choose to abandon them?

Hoshikawa: "Many people have one thought when they are pregnant, another when they give birth, and yet another when they raise the child."

Aihara Ryu: "Hoshikawa, so why did you bring us to the orphanage?"

"We're looking for the murderer, but it seems the murderer isn't here."

Hoshikawa was afraid that Ivy was hiding in a corner, so when searching for Ivy, he didn't even miss a corner of the orphanage.

He clearly remembered that the ivy had been growing on the orphanage.

At that moment, Hoshikawa's communicator rang, and Yuka's voice came through: "Hoshikawa, an attack has occurred in the S1 area."

In this case, the victim, like in previous incidents, had all his blood drained.

Another case of bloodsucking.

"Everyone, another attack has occurred. Let's go." Hoshikawa returned to the patrol car.

"Okay," Kishida replied, wiping the dust off his hands.

On their way to the S1 area, Kishida noticed many cars had collided on the side of the road, with the drivers slumped in their seats.

Kishida pointed to the cars on the side of the road and said, "Something's not right. Look, the drivers of those cars are all slumped in their chairs, their hair is white, and their faces are full of wrinkles."

Xingchuan parked the car and went down to check.

He opened the car door and found that the driver was holding a red ball tightly in his palm.

It's Ochlin Paul!

Hoshikawa suddenly remembered the disappearance of the Moon Spacecraft some time ago.

It seems that after a period of wandering, Oaklin Paul has finally arrived on Earth.

"Ugh, what a disgusting round ball." Kishida said with a look of disgust.

Hoshikawa told Kishida and the others to stay back and not get too close to the car.

Kishida: "Why?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several white spheres flew out of the car.

Fortunately, Hoshikawa reacted quickly and pulled out his Hyper gun, hitting the sphere in time.

"Now do you know why?" Hoshikawa looked around warily.

Masaki Keigo and Aihara Ryuya pulled out their Hyper guns.

The next moment, countless white spheres appeared in the air.

However, instead of attacking Hoshikawa and his companions, they flew away into the distance.

"Quick, after them!" Hoshikawa put away his gun and ran back to the patrol car.

The patrol car sped off like an arrow, relentlessly pursuing the sphere.

Soon, the sphere flew into the city and scattered in all directions.

Kishida: "Oh no, the balls have scattered."

"Let's split up and report back as soon as we spot the white sphere," Hoshikawa suggested.

"Okay," Masaki Keigo replied.

The four got out of the car and chased after the sphere in the direction it had dispersed.

During the journey, Hoshikawa asked Yuka to contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to issue an evacuation alert.

While searching for the sphere, Aihara Ryu finds a girl in a white dress holding red flowers standing by the roadside.

She looked down at the flowers in her hand, stepped forward with her left foot, completely ignoring the oncoming vehicles.

"Beep beep beep!" A large truck saw the girl in the middle of the road and honked its horn frantically.

"Hey, that's dangerous!" Aihara Ryu ran towards the girl and hugged her before she was hit.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to jaywalk? Please don't do that next time."

The girl didn't say anything, but took out a flower and gave it to Aihara Ryu.

Aihara Ryu bent down and said gently, "Where do you live? Shall I take you home?"

The girl nodded.

On the way, Aihara Ryu asked the girl her name.

"Kana." After saying her name, Kana fiddled with the flowers in her hands again.

Aihara Ryu carried Kana to the residential area: "Kana, where do you live?"

"There." Kana casually pointed to a location.

Unaware of the situation, Aihara Ryu carried Kana in that direction.

After passing through the narrow alley, Aihara Ryu pointed to the house ahead and asked, "Is this the house?"

"Yes," Kana said without looking up.

Aihara Ryu knocked on the first door: "Hello, is this your child?"

A middle-aged man opened the door: "I don't know him, I've never seen him before."

And so, Aihara Ryu knocked on doors one by one, hoping to find Kana's parents.

Kana, who was following behind Aihara Ryu, remained silent, simply placing a flower on each door.

Once all the entrances to the building were decorated with flowers, Kana turned and left.

After working hard all day, Aihara Ryu turned around and saw that Kana, who was following behind him, had disappeared.

With no other option, he ran downstairs to look for Kana.

She was eventually found in a park.

At this moment, Kana is giving flowers to the children.

After Kana finished handing out the flowers, Aihara Ryu knelt down in front of her and said in the gentlest tone he could, "Kana, you've given out all the flowers. Now, can you tell your uncle where you live?"

"Stay there." Kana pointed to the orphanage in front of them.

Upon seeing the orphanage, Aihara Ryu finally understood why Kana disliked talking.

It's probably because she had no parents, and no friends in the orphanage, a combination of factors.

He carried Kana on his back and walked towards the orphanage.

The orphanage staff member exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Kana: "Kana!"

"You mean this child was adopted two months ago?" Aihara Ryu asked, somewhat surprised.

The orphanage staff nodded: "Yes, she was adopted by the Iwatae couple two months ago."

"That family was a well-known wealthy family in the area, and we all thought that Kana's personality would become more lively after she was adopted."

Looking through the window, Aihara Ryu saw Kana squatting on the grass pulling weeds.

"Could you please tell me the address of the Na Yanping couple?"

"Okay." The orphanage staff took out a booklet and turned to the page about Kana.

After obtaining the address, Aihara Ryu carried Kana on his back and quickly arrived at the address.

The Yanping couple's house is very large, with a small courtyard in the middle.

The maid, who was cleaning, looked up and saw Kana. She quickly ran into the house to inform Mrs. Iwatsubo, "Madam, it's Miss Kana! Miss Kana is back!"

A short while later, a beautiful young woman with a good figure and dressed in rich clothes came out.

She rushed to Kana and hugged her tightly: "Kana, why are you running around again? I was so worried!"

Aihara Ryu's eyes flickered, a hint of doubt arising in his heart.

According to staff at the orphanage, the Iwatae couple had never had children for some reason.

That's why I adopted a child from the orphanage.

Logically speaking, a normal child in a wealthy and loving family should gradually become lively and cheerful.
