Munehiro was too small to understand what was going on when some people came to kick and destroy the property in his house. His mother and sister were holding him close while his father was down to his knees, begging bad people to stop ransacking their small house. That happened almost every day that a day without them coming felt like one day in heaven for him.

But when his father was kicked until he was losing consciousness, Munehiro couldn't take it anymore. No matter how small he was, he only wanted to protect his father. His mother and sister tried to pull him back but Munehiro tightened his hold on his father.

The boy had a mole below his right eye and throughout the conversation between the woman and Munehiro's family, those dark blue eyes kept looking at Munehiro. Suddenly, he pointed at Munehiro and said, "I want him to be my playmate."

The next thing Munehiro knew, he had attended the King's Kindergarten with the boy. The boy had the kind of charm that attracted people around him; old and young, boys and girls. He was excellent in many things he did and never ceased to amaze people most of the time. Munehiro didn't understand how a boy who was always surrounded by many people like him still wished Munehiro to be his playmate. Despite attending the same class, Munehiro would always stay in the corner so he wouldn't block anyone from approaching the boy. However...
