In the past, within a shadowy alley, a young boy with golden eyes, aged around 6 or 7, sat on the ground, relishing his meal. His attire consisted of oversized clothes, and in his hand, he tightly clutched a rusted iron pipe of wakizashi length, its handle wrapped with a scarf that bore stains of a previous encounter. Meanwhile, his adept hand skillfully seized morsels of food for consumption. His face bore evidence of wounds, covered in ash-like marks, adding an air of mystery to his enigmatic presence.

As a young boy savored his meal, three thugs lay battered on the ground, their faces swollen from a brutal assault that left them barely able to speak, and their limbs visibly injured. Suddenly, one of the thugs began to regain consciousness.

Thug: N... No... more...

A young boy noticed that one of the thugs had awakened, stopped eating, and looked at the thug. He looked at the rust pipe that and saw blood trace on it and tiled side in confused state.

Young Boy: ...

The young boy contemplated trying to kill all three thugs, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to finish them off. Ignoring this fact, he got up, walked over to one of the thugs, and stared at him.

Thug: S-s... stop... n... no... more... no more...

The thug's face was swollen with bumps, and he struggled to speak, managing to utter only a few words. A young boy observed the thug with a shadowless face and visible golden eyes, devoid of emotion. He raised his rusted pipe in a high stance, planning to finish him off. However...

Young girl: Agh!

Boy: ?!

A Young boy stopped, glanced behind him, and turned around partially. He caught sight of a young girl with long black hair and a medium height, dressed in business clothes. Her name was Akemi Miyano.

Young Boy: *surprise*

Akemi: ...

Akemi closed her mouth, shocked by what the young boy did to the three thugs. The only evidence was the boy holding his weapon, tightly wrapped with a scarf.

Akemi thought: Did this young boy defeat them?

Boy: ...

The boy gave a small glare to Akemi, his face shadowless, with only his eyes visible, half in caution.

Akemi: Y-young boy... I believe that's enough...

Boy: ...

Thug: H... h... help...

The boy noticed the thug's plea, struck him to silence, and Akemi was shocked by the boy's lack of pity.

Akemi: Huh?!

Boy: ...

The boy looked at the thug, who seemed motionless. He then turned to Akemi with a bloodthirsty, shadowless face and visible golden eyes. Akemi sensed something strange about the boy and notice saw demon illusion face partially.

Akemi thought: W-what is this feeling? This boy... isn't normal...

Young Boy: ...

The boy moved forward, his body appearing weak and his legs trembling, yet he pressed on.

Young boy: Hmm...

Akemi thought: Huh? Is this boy planning to fight again?!

The boy dropped to his knees, and Akemi hurried forward, embracing him. The boy was shocked.

Young Boy: *shocked*

The boy tried to shake her off, attempting to use the hilt of his pipe to hit her, but Akemi refused to fight back and endured the pain. She continued to hug the boy. The boy seemed confused.
