Chapter 76: Children's Despair

~Some of the time before Mesties and Jeanne came to the orphanage~

The bright sun in the late afternoon illuminated the orphanage that Jeanne was in charge of.

Like the story in the picture book, the children were still playing happily in front of the orphanage.

A famous painter might get inspired when he saw that happy scene.

The green grass was stepped on by the girls. They were running and playing chase.

The tree in front of the orphanage was climbed by the boys. They were hanging on the tree.

While some of the slightly older ones managed to keep the children from getting too excited.

What they all had in common was that they looked very happy.

Unfortunately, their happiness had to come to an end.

They could never have guessed that they would experience a horrific event not long after.

The story begins with Jeanne's arrival.

As usual, Jeanne came and gave money to their nanny to use for their needs.

But, from the moment Jeanne left, their nightmare began.
