Omnibus: Obtaining the Star Cup starts with the power of Shadow

“Maho, what are you looking at?”

In the corner near the very edge of the city wall, several girls gathered.

One of the oldest girls laughed and hugged the girl named Maho, poked Maho’s little face with her finger, and said mockingly. “Still thinking about the people I met the other day? Do you want us to come up with some ideas for you. ”

The girl named Maho is the same person that Rhode met earlier.

Maho slapped her hand away in dissatisfaction and retorted. “It’s not what you think! Ifah, didn’t I tell you about that before? Don’t you think it’s amazing? It was obviously going to rain, but the weather changed in the blink of an eye. ”

“It’s just a coincidence. Could it be that you want to say what kind of ‘god’ the other person is, if only there really was a god in the world, I would like it to hear my wishes. Ifa waved his hand with an impossible expression.

“Is it really a coincidence?”

Maho’s purple eyes fixed on the coin in his hand, lost in thought.

She didn’t quite know what was going on, and if she wasn’t the only witness, she couldn’t believe that the weather had changed just by a word from a teenager.

“Oh, why do you think so much, if you really want to find out, just go to the place where you met him before and ask in person!” A few of us take turns to help you see, and I don’t believe that I can’t meet the person you want to meet! ”

Several girls came over actively to discuss.

“Forget it.”

Mahe put away the coin and shook his head: “The most urgent thing is to save enough money as a tour guide and rent a house where you can stay, so that you don’t have to be afraid of wind and rain.” ”

Speaking of this, Maho’s expectant words naturally attracted the unanimous approval of the other girls.

If anyone who looks around, they can see that they are very young. As young as the age when it should be pampered by the family, several people can only live together.

A bed was laid out in a dilapidated room with futons on top.

They are street children with no fixed place to live.

Abandoned for various reasons, it was the desire of all of them to have a home.

Instead of huddling together in a place where they don’t even have a house, once the rain is too heavy, the rain outside will drift in, so they hate rainy days very much.

Although they did not earn much money and were on the verge of barely having enough food and clothing, they did not lose confidence because of this, and they all felt that the future would definitely get better, and the dawn of saving enough money was getting closer and closer to themselves.

That’s how it should be….

On the other hand, fate played a huge joke on her.

……

“Whew…”

Maho clutched the money bag in her arms, the cold rain hit her face, and she ran desperately, fear and helplessness invaded her heart

“Why… Why…”

Maho gritted her teeth deadly, and the screams and cries of her companions that resounded under the night sky shook her heart.

Not long ago, a gang of black-hearted orphanages targeted them.

Maho knows about the Black Heart orphanage.

Not long ago, I overheard people around me discussing.

Forced to take away street children, then forced to perform all kinds of unreasonable labor, be excessively exploited, forced to pick up customers, or simply sold as slaves.

It can be said that once you are targeted and enter the orphanage, you will completely fall into the bottomless abyss.

On this rainstormy day, when even the guards would not wander the streets, they came prepared.

No matter how they shouted, the sound of heavy rain overshadowed everything, and they were doomed to no rescue.

Perhaps the people living nearby heard their shouts, but unfortunately no one would lend a helping hand, but closed the windows and doors tightly.

The world was cold, and Maho had to accept this fact with a dead heart.

Just like when his father was killed, everyone knows that it was his subordinates who killed him in order to covet his Chamber of Commerce, but no one acted for the sake of ridiculous justice, but only used the art of negotiation to get the opportunity to participate in the division of the Chamber of Commerce.

She had never been so disgusted with her powerlessness.

“Boom!”

“Give me an honest moment, don’t move!”

The slippery ground made Maho fall to the ground without paying attention, and the kidnappers glared at her face and took the opportunity to choke her neck.

Maho struggled with all her might.

“Do you want to die? If it weren’t for the boss’s words, if you want to sell it for a good price in the future, I would have broken your leg first! ”

Maho’s head was pressed to the ground, his vision blurred by the rain. She saw a coin fall in front of her from the money bag that had just been spilled.

“A coin that symbolizes good luck.”

In a trance, she remembered why this coin was different from the others.

“Is it really just a coincidence?”

Maho has asked herself more than once since then.

Whether there is a god in the world, she does not know, and it has nothing to do with her.

The only thing Maho knew was that he had lied to himself.

What good luck, it’s all a lie!

If so, why hasn’t it been proven to her so far?

With extreme suspicion and anger, Maho stretched out her hand and held the coin deadly, she was still struggling unyieldingly.

It was in this case that time suddenly stopped.

The heavy rain drifting in the sky maintained their falling posture.

The splash of rain on the ground maintains its bloom.

The world was silent, but Maho could hear his own heartbeat so clearly.

She looked into the distance in a trance, where a figure was getting closer and closer in the hazy rain

“Tick, tick…”

Unhurried footsteps stepped on the ground, with a slight sound, and stopped in front of her.

She raised her head and looked at the boy holding the umbrella in fascination.

In the static space-time, Rhode gently spoke.

“I didn’t expect us to meet so soon, and I’ve always felt that fate has its inevitability, so, you… Need my help? ”

PS: I owe five more, and I will make up for it on Sunday and Monday.
