Early in the day when the embarrassed sun had just reappeared to the world.

Many little girls gathered around the table and drooled at the young man who was cooking skillfully in the open kitchen. Their food is limited because they are very poor and they will eat anything to stay alive such as food scraps from garbage, animals on the street, etc; as long as they can find it, but this time is different because they have someone personally cooking for them and from the smell alone they can say that this dish will be very delicious.

Haru, of course, has set up his portable kitchen in his zipper because he knows very well that sometimes he will be sent to the woods or unusual places.

That's why he's always ready.

Esdeath saw a group of little girls gathered around Haru. He did not feel so surprised by this scene as he often saw many abandoned children in the Empire.

The little girl group was a group of Cursed Children who were expelled from the city and could only stay in the Tokyo Area Outer.

“Onii-san, what are you cooking?”

“Onii-chan, when is the food ready?”

Haru took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He felt that these little girls really knew his weakness. He had a weakness towards the attributes of the younger sisters and the girls had those attributes on them, but he would not show them outside. “A minute, patience.”

They nodded and waited patiently, but their stomachs continued to rumble.

“Thank you very much, Kasugano-san.”

“You don't need to worry, Matsuzaki-san. It's just an apology because we almost hurt Sasa,” Haru said.

(Sasa is the name of a little girl who was almost hurt by Esdeath).

Matsuzaki is a caring man who takes care of some Cursed Child. He had been taking care of the Cursed Children for a long time voluntarily and that was why he had stayed in this place with everyone.

Matsuzaki did not dare to speak to Esdeath. Although Esdeath's clothes were a bit strange (a white military uniform), the aura coming out of it was not something that normal humans could emit. He knows that Esdeath is a strong Promoter and that is why he only talks to Haru because he is afraid of making Esdeath angry.

The promoter is the one who becomes the supervisor of the 2-man combat team, tasked with analyzing the battle situation. They are given an Initiator; the girl who carries the Gastrea Virus, otherwise known as the Cursed Child, to carry out their mission.

For Haru, Matsuzaka thought Haru was a wealthy young man or the owner of a famous Civil Security Company.

“It's okay. Onii-san, I know Big Brother didn't mean anything bad to me,” Sasa said as he looked at Esdeath.

Esdeath just smiled and patted Sasa on the head.

That's when breakfast is ready.

“Breakfast is ready,” Haru said.

“Yaa!!”

“Don't push each other because it's enough for everyone. You have to line up one by one,” Haru said.

“Ya!!”

Haru cooks a simple Japanese breakfast with white rice that sparkles like a small gem, roasted salmon that emits a very delicious aroma, rolled omelet that enhances their feeding, and the, miso soup that makes everyone feel warm, and some pickled radishes that give a pleasant touch to breakfast.

Everyone took their breakfast one by one and did not eat until everyone got their share.

Esdeath took one of his pieces and sat down next to the children who were also screaming beside him asking how he married Haru, kissing, making children, and more. He felt that it was a pretty funny experience and slightly teased them.

“Matsuzaka-san, you should also eat it,” Haru said.

“Thank you very much,” Matsuzaka said as he was also tempted to have breakfast with everyone.

Then when everyone is ready, they start saying, “Let's eat!” They use chopsticks or spoons before putting rice in their mouths.

It was just simple rice, but in Haru's hands, it gave them a different feeling.

For the Cursed Child who had always been treated inferior to beasts, this was the first time they had been treated well by the figure of an elder brother.

The older brother who will protect them, the older brother who will tell them a story, the older brother who will sing lullabies to them every night, and more.

As they ate the breakfast that was being cooked by Haru. They begin to be drawn into the illusion created by Haru's food.

*trip!* *Trip!* *Trip!*

Esdeath also felt the same way, even though he did not have an older brother, but he could imagine what it would be like to have an older brother from the breakfast he ate. But she did not want an older brother, rather she wanted to have a husband and she already had a husband who would accompany her until she left the world. With a smile, he thought that his future would be very beautiful.

For Matsuzaka, he felt like he was going back to his childhood where everyone lived peacefully and he also had the figure of an older brother who would protect him back then.

Haru who saw their reaction suddenly felt extremely cruel at this moment. He thought that he should not show kindness to them because he would soon leave them and if they heard that he and Esdeath were going to leave then they would show sorrow, but he also made a determination to unite this country as soon as possible so that he would not let the girls live on the edge of the city miserably.

At the end of the breakfast, everyone drank the warm tea prepared by Haru.

This tea will help the digestive system while making everyone who drinks it relax.

The group of little girls who drank it had a rare relaxed expression on their faces and only secretly sipped tea because it was so delicious.

“Kasugano-san, thank you very much for what you have done to those children,” Matsuzaka said.

“I didn't do anything, Matsuzaka-san. You take care of them,” Haru said.

Matsuzaka shook his head and said, “No, it's been a long time since those kids didn't eat warm food. I think it is something that is not important, but a warm breakfast really elevates their mood to happiness.” He looked at Haru and lowered his head. “That's why I'm so grateful to you, Kasugano-san.”

Haru moved her lips and stopped her. “You don't need to lower your head.” He really felt uncomfortable and it was very difficult for him to come out now. “I have to go, but you're the one who can take care of them. I'll give you some food that you can use every day and I'll give you a simple recipe so you can cook…” He is quite busy in the morning and really gives the kids a lot of things like solar panels and small wind turbines that allow them to get electricity. He also gave them a lot of food supplies and a lot of devices that would make their lives comfortable because he would leave them.

“…..”

They were extremely speechless as they watched him pick up one after another with ease. Although they did not know where it came from, they were very grateful to Haru.

The afternoon when Haru gave them everything that could make their lives comfortable, she decided to say goodbye. “Then, I have to say goodbye now.”

“…”

A group of little girls knew that Haru was going to leave them, but it was more painful than they thought.

It felt like a beautiful dream, even though it was a dream. They really wanted to stop him, but they were afraid to do so because they were afraid to disturb him.

“A – Will we meet again?”

The first question they want to know is if they can ask again.

Haru nodded and said, “Soon.” He patted Sasa's head and said, “Matsuzaka-san, we have to go now.”

“Be careful,” Matsuzaka said and knew that he could not stop them.

Haru and Esdeath walked away from this place towards the southern area of the Tokyo area.

Everyone looked back before they cried one by one, but then they remembered the words of Esdaeth telling them to be strong if they wanted to see them again. Before their grief turned into determination to become stronger as they desperately wanted to see the big brother again.

At the same time, they are also jealous of Esdeath being able to marry Haru. They wanted to shout that they would marry Haru in the future, but they were afraid of making Esdeath angry because sometimes Esdeth was really scary.

Esdeath walked with Haru and said, “You are so cruel. Pamper them for a few hours then leave them irresponsibly.”

Haru sighed and said, “I can't bring everything. Our search is dangerous and it might harm them to cross to Osaka.”

“Well, what you mentioned is why should we go to Osaka to unify this country?” Esdeath asked curiously.

Haru took the car from his zipper and said, “Because the leader of Osaka is quite unique.” He looked at Esdeath and asked, “Do you want to go directly to Osaka or try to fight Gastrea first?”

“Let's fight, my hands have been itching since coming here,” Esdeath said.

“Umm.... don't you want to do something else first?” ask Haru.

“What item?” Esdeath looked at Haru curiously.

“Well, I've brought a car and we're not everywhere. No one will disturb us in this wilderness and..” Haru moved his hand around Esdeath's waist and whispered.

“I miss you, Wife...”.

Esdeath blushed and nodded. “I miss you too, Husband.”.

They entered the car together which was completely soundproof and started the car. Then before long, the car began to shake uncontrollably without paying attention to anyone because there was no one in this place.
