Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

The girl remained silent for a long while before speaking in a slightly weak voice:

"His name is Huo Chen, and he is 15 years old."

Huo Chen's brief speech lasted less than ten seconds before he shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Li Hongying was neither angry nor worried about the girl's obviously distant attitude.

She'd seen it all; most of the children newly arrived here were like that. They were always a little wary when they first arrived in an unfamiliar environment. They'd be fine once they got used to it.

Li Hongying then looked at the children below and continued Huo Chen's words:

"This Sister Huo is a bit older than all of you, so please get along well with her."

"Now, let's get ready to eat."

Then, Li Hongying said to Huo Chen, who was standing beside her:

"Xiao Huo, please sit over there..."

Li Hongying pointed to a spot next to Chen Nan.

Huo Chen nodded and walked toward the location Li Hongying pointed to.

It's a perfectly normal arrangement. After all, before Huo Chen arrived, Chen Nan was the oldest and only girl in the orphanage.

Seeing Huo Chen sit down beside her, Chen Nan nodded gently in greeting.

"Hello, Sister Huo, I'm Chen Nan."

Huo Chen seemed uninterested in speaking, and simply nodded with a nasal tone.

..........

Life in the orphanage is relatively structured.

After the children get up and have breakfast, Huang Yue takes them to the classroom to read. After reading for a while, Huang Yue and Li Hongying teach the children some pinyin and arithmetic.

Then it's time for the children to play.

The large courtyard of the orphanage was the playground for the children, where they would chase and play, which was the norm.

Chen Nan was still sitting on the swing under the old banyan tree in the courtyard.

She had been in poor health since childhood, and the natural chasing and playing of a normal child was just a luxury for her. Fortunately, she was a quiet person by nature, so it wasn't a big deal.

Even after becoming a magical girl and her body was no longer frail, she still habitually sat on the swing chair watching her 'little brothers' play.

Chen Nan was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking, until a crying sound came from afar.

A child, only seven or eight years old, with snot still running from his nose, sobbed as he ran towards Chen Nan, clutching a black robot toy in his hand. Several other children of similar age followed behind him.

"Sister Nannan..."

"What's wrong? Why are you crying..."

"The toy... broke."

The boy handed the robot in his hand to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan brought this robot back with her when she was discharged from the hospital not long ago; she heard it was a gift from a kind person.

Most of the children's toys are donated from the community, and most of them are rather worn out. The brand-new, cool toys that Chen Nan brought back immediately became the children's favorites lately.

Chen Nan took the toy and looked at it closely. Sure enough, the black RoboCop's left arm was broken.

"We need to ask Aunt Yue to help us fix it with super glue."

Chen Nan frowned.

"What happened?"

"It's that new girl, Sister Huo..."

The boy said in a tearful voice, "Let's give this toy to her to play with."

"But Sister Huo suddenly threw the toy hard on the ground, and then it turned into this..."

"Is that so?!" Chen Nan's eyes widened immediately.

Chen Nan was already a little unhappy that the gift that the kind Sister Yun had given her had been damaged. When she learned that it had been deliberately damaged, she immediately became angry.

"Let's go! Let's go find her..."

When Chen Nan led the group of children to Huo Chen, the new girl was sitting on the steps in front of the building.

"Sister Huo, why..."

Just as Chen Nan was about to confront him, Huo Chen spoke first:

"sorry..."

She lowered her head and said in a low voice:

"You broke your toy, give it to me, I'll fix it with glue later."

Huo Chen, who seemed difficult to talk to, apologized immediately, and Chen Nan's anger subsided by half.

However, recalling Huo Chen's actions, she still questioned him:

"Then why did you deliberately break it? Xiao Huang and the others gave you the toy out of kindness..."

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

Huo Chen took a deep breath.

"I simply don't like this 'Robocopter' toy."

.................

On the bustling street, Liu Kai was walking with his arm around Kazama's shoulder.

Today was a rare day off for him. Despite the mess he had last night, he was still relaxed and called out to his close friends.

By noon, Liu Kai felt hungry and said:

Where should we go for a nice meal today?

Kazama calmly pulled Liu Kai's hand away and replied:

"Anyway, it's your treat, so you decide."

"You're being so polite, you didn't even seize the opportunity to rip me off."

"Come on, if you really go for it, one stab and your empty wallet won't bleed much."

"You really understand me. Let's just find a restaurant and grab something to eat."

The two walked from the main road into the alley, looking around as they went.

A bustling shop came into view.

How popular is it? You can see through the transparent window of the store that it's packed with people.

There was a queue outside the store.

A strange light flashed in Kazama's eyes, while Liu Kai stopped in his tracks.

The sign outside the store explains why the business is booming.

'This shop provides food for the poor; everything is free.'

Looking at the customers sitting inside the store and the people queuing outside, the majority were dressed in tattered clothes, but there were also quite a few people dressed in ordinary clothes.

"This is a charity hall..."

"It seems so..."

Liu Kai seemed unwilling to linger here, and pulled Kazama along quickly forward.

"There's a nice restaurant up ahead, my colleague told me about it, let's go there."

Ten minutes later, the two were seated in a small private room at the restaurant. It was a private kitchen with a very nice ambiance.

After ordering, Liu Kai fell silent, staring blankly at the teacup in his hand.

After a long while, he finally looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Ah Feng, I've been very busy lately."

“I can tell…” Kazama nodded.

"Because your hairline seems to have receded a bit more."

Liu Kai subconsciously touched his forehead, then shook his head:

"Because recently a guy has appeared who calls himself 'righteous' and does whatever he wants."

“He would beat up some people who broke the law and then send them to the police station.”

"I think I've heard of this before... I think I saw a related post when I was browsing forums."

"You probably don't know that the owner of the charity restaurant we passed by before was also beaten up by that guy."

"Huh? What's going on..."

"The boss was found out by that guy to be illegally employing child labor."

"The boss's nose was smashed, and he ran to the police station to turn himself in."

"He did indeed hire a fifteen-year-old girl..."

Liu Kai's expression was somewhat complicated:

According to him, the girl was abandoned by her family and was very pitiful, so he temporarily hired her and took her in.

"Later, we took the girl to the police station for questioning, and found that this was indeed the case."

"The girl's mother seems to be a single mother, but she has run away and cannot be contacted. As for her maternal grandparents, they have been dead for a long time. She also has no uncles or other relatives."

"Where is that child now?" Kazama asked calmly.

"They've sent them to an orphanage for now, but it's proving difficult to manage..."

"Sigh, this mess..." Liu Kai sighed.

There is compassion within the law, but no compassion outside the law. No matter how good the intention, being caught like this still requires action.

"Damn, I really don't understand what that guy is thinking."
