Liverpool Bookstore, Sakura City.
It was the first day of December, and the capital of the country was colder than usual.
Even though the snowstorm that descended upon Elffire City did not fall on Sakura City, the weather was colder than usual that morning.
Uda Tomiji was 26 years old man who worked as a cashier in a bank.
This was a good job that made him capable of living without worrying about money if he did not spend it on expensive things.
But that was not what happened.
Although he did not spend money on expensive things, he still spent money monthly in a single institution.
Green Kite Orphanage.
This was one of the orphanages of the Sakura City, and it housed hundreds of kids waiting for adoption.
But even though the kids were constantly being adopted, some kids were not adopted after a long time.
And these kids had already lost hope of being adopted.
