This is a very ordinary world.

A very ordinary world in the truest sense of the word.

Here, there are no magicians who study magic hidden in the dark, and there are no puppeteers who manipulate dolls, just nature that people love and fear.

In terms of era, it should be said that it is very similar to the year 2018 where the Chaldea is located, unlike the world of Karakuri, which is still in the age of steam.

There are lively crowds in the city.

There are cars coming and going on the streets.

People live ordinary lives.

People are growing up in general.

People go through the ups and downs and the ups and downs of life in general.

A modern world where there is no mystery, no magic, only reality.

That's what this world is all about.

In such a world, in one of the corners of the Far Eastern island, there is an orphanage.

It was one of the best orphanages in the area.

The so-called "one of the best" here does not mean that it is very good, and it can be ranked first among all the orphanages, but because the number of orphanages in the neighborhood is scarce, probably only one or two, so it will be said to be one of the best.

Such an orphanage, although not outstanding, is enough for children who have lost their parents to grow up healthy.

However, the children in this orphanage grow up in two ways.

One is to be raised before adulthood and become independent until adulthood, so that you can get out of the orphanage.

One is to find an adopter before adulthood, become the adopted son of someone else's family, and get a different childhood.

Of course, these are things that don't need to be known by children.

Children just need to live here carefree until one day they leave on their own or meet their own adoptive parents.

Under such circumstances, the children in the orphanage often play together and have a happy life every day.

However, just a few months ago, a strange child appeared here.

It was a boy.

You're about four years old, right?

It is said that he was found on the street by the staff of the orphanage and brought back.

It is said that before this, he had been wandering alone for half a month, obviously an orphan, but he was always able to take out money inexplicably, buy food, or look for a hotel alone, even if there were no adults around, no ID card, so he could not register, and lived in a regular hotel, and the other party relied on unimaginable words for a child to persuade others to get a place to live.

People also thought about calling the police and letting the police intervene for this, but the other party always disappeared without a trace before that, as if they knew everything was going on.

It wasn't until he was found by the staff of the orphanage on the street that the other party agreed to come to the orphanage after some thought.

Here's why.

"Since I can live and eat for nothing, I don't need to waste time thinking about my livelihood, so I can spend more time on my own things."

That's how the other party agreed.

Since then, the child has lived in this orphanage, but he has never played with the children here, and he has no interest in toys and other things, and he either hides in his room every day and does not know what to do, or looks exhausted.

When the dean was shocked by this, he came in person and asked him what he wanted, but the other party did not hesitate to give such words.

"Give me a computer if you have one, I want to play games."

It's hard to believe that such a person would be a four-year-old child.

What's even more incredible is that in the end, the dean actually agreed.

The reason is simpler.

"Even if I told him that he had to study hard and play games when he grew up, but this kid solved the high school level exercises I prepared in front of me, and it was still a perfect score, then I couldn't help it."

The dean just smiled bitterly.

As a result, people can often see that in this orphanage, there is a four-year-old boy who often sits alone in the corner while others are playing, holding a laptop, staring intently at the screen, playing all kinds of games that are difficult for even adults to play.

Gradually, word spread that there was a very clever and extraordinary child here.

Many adults have come here for this reason, wanting to meet this rumored smart and special child, some because of curiosity, and some simply do not believe that a four-year-old child can understand the knowledge of high school, and still have full marks, and plan to come to make things difficult for him.

As a result, these adults were all frightened.

Because, with an impatient face, this child not only made a perfect score for the exercises at the high school level, but even the big learning set brought by the good deeds was solved by him in ten minutes.

All of a sudden, the adults were in a commotion, and many even offered to adopt the child on the spot.

Needless to say, is there a reason for this?

There is such a prodigy, I believe, many adults will want to adopt, whether it is out of love, or out of the desire for a child who is destined to get ahead.

It's a pity that this child rejected it on the spot.

"I don't want to work in the future, I just want to keep eating and waiting to die."

In a word, the adults all looked at each other, and then retreated.

On this very day...

"You're the rumored very smart prodigy, aren't you?"

When such a voice sounded in front of him, the teenager, who was immersed in a laptop game, looked up blankly.

In front of him, there was a woman wearing a cotton shirt and jeans, a cold-proof jacket, light makeup, and her hair combed back.

A woman's age should be around 20 years old, right?

However, the other party said so.

"I'm a mother of two, and they're all smart, aren't they?"

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a while, and then he also laughed.

"In that case, you still came to me, you didn't want to adopt me, did you?"

The boy said something like this in a lazy and unspeakable tone for a four-year-old.

In exchange, this is the answer.

"It's not that you can't think about it, right?"

The other party said with a smile.

"Although my two children are also very smart, I work in computer related work, I am an information editor, and I have been playing games since elementary school, so when I heard that you, a prodigy, like to play games, I couldn't help but come and check it out."

After saying this, the other party began to introduce himself.

"My name is Kiritani Tsui."

With such a sentence, the woman who called herself Kiriya Emeri stretched out a hand to the boy.

"Do you want to come with me?"

Sure enough, this man also came to adopt himself.

This was the boy's first thought at that time.

However, the other party didn't value his own knowledge, but came here because he liked to play games, which made Luo Zhen feel a little special.

Therefore, the teenager only said this sentence.

"Do you have a computer?"

About half an hour later, the boy left the orphanage with a woman named Azumi Kiritani.

And the other party also gave the boy a name to be registered in the household register.

It's called...

"Tonggu Qinghe."
