For as long as I can remember I've been seen as a strange one. When I'd walk down the road, I would see all kinds of people start talking.

"Isn't he the Matsuzakis kid?" A woman said to another woman. "I think so. Just look at him! He's all beaten up and in rags!"

"Just shows how abusive his dad is." "Not only that but he's the spitting image of his dead wife!" "Explains the beating. Poor boy."

"I've heard his dad grabs his hands and burns them in the ashes of fire!" A guy chirped into the conversation. "Really? I've heard that his dad's made him eat dead animals!"

"Geez! I heard once that the dad always calls him by his dead wife's name!!" "And I've seen him play and talk to squirrels!!"

"That sad little kid has no friends so he plays with rodents." "Could never be my kid! He's as obedient as a dog." The guy laughed. "Yeah I guess so." The other lady laughed as they all giggled and  continued.

And they're not the only one. Every other family or group talked the moment I passed. Poor boy this. Poor boy that. None of it mattered.

They all liked to talk to hide their secrets. Well this sad little kid knew everything. Whenever I brought it up, they would all just stare and mutter.

But they should've all paid attention to themselves. Maybe then that lady would've realized her fiancé was gonna leave her the moment he got his hands on the family wealth.

That guy would've kept an eye on his son, who ended up executed by a gang. That lady could have prevented the fire that happened later that day.

They all laughed at me. They all pitied me but never helped out. They never helped me when I needed it the most. But it doesn't matter anymore.

Because I was the one who had the last laugh.

As Yasu ran for miles moving farther away from La Casa Lejos De Casa she recalled what her crow said to her. "Caw! There is a city in the middle of many forest. On the outside of it, you can see many different plants and trees. A little farther in there are different animals of many sizes and colors.

If you look around that area you can see neighborhoods, around five families in different places. These neighborhoods have farms and domesticated animals.

During the day they harvested and took carts of it deeper into the forests. If one was ever to get lost, all they had to do was follow one of the many rivers that led to the main river right outside the forest.

Deeper into the forest are only trees. The farther you go the colder and darker it gets. There were many boulders and trees with signs on it. Don't forget those little details. Caw! After a while, you will arrive at a city filled with lights and sounds.

There have been demon slayers who've gone and defeated many demons before but apparently, there is one they couldn't have defeated yet. He is a small demon boy who has taken control of the forest, ending people faster than other demons have. Very few of the demon slayers who survive call him a tyrant. It is your mission to find him and to defeat him. Caw!"

Yasu continued running through fields, getting farther away from civilization. "How did he even manage to remember all of that? They weren't kidding when they told me he was a bit more advanced than the other crows." She thought in her mind.
