I nodded with my tiny front teeth exposed, like a baby rabbit.

“I’ll bring you back and make you a Charcon person.”

“…But it’s a villain family.”

“I’ll make Charcon people too. There are plenty in prison!”

It was a valid point.

With so many villains, they had to create people who could handle those villains.

For example, turning a murderer who killed ordinary citizens into a dark hero who killed ruthless criminals.
I believe in the destiny of people, but at the same time, I believe that through effort, humans can change.

If left alone, that child could become a murderer who kills ordinary civilians, but with education, they could transform into a dark hero who kills ‘bad guys.’

The reason I’m doing all this is not just for the future citizens, but…

“You too, come with me, Captain!”

“…Come with you?”
The captain looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I shouted at him, “Yes! I’ll adopt you!”

After saying that, I widened my eyes like a rabbit.

‘Oh, wait, not adoption. A 5-year-old can’t adopt a 10-year-old!’
Seeing the captain turn pale, I tapped his shoulder and said, “Anni, I’ll just raise you!”

Let’s go together, Captain!

I waited for his response, my eyes sparkling.

Hesitatingly, the captain finally spoke, “I’m sorry, but my mother abandoned me.”

“Huh?”

I nodded, looking at him.

He emphasized it with a bewildered expression.
He spoke with a puzzled expression on his face, emphasizing, “I’m not someone that anyone should raise. My own mother abandoned me, you know?”

“Ahaha. Still, I’ll raise you!”

My unwavering words caused the captain’s complexion to turn pale.

“…No, this can’t be. I’ve never dreamt of you taking me with you.”

“Uh-huh, that’s true.”

Of course not. Meeting the captain wasn’t part of the predetermined future.

“…I’m much older than a little kid like you. You can’t raise me.”
I clenched my fist and solemnly replied, “I insist.”

The captain’s cheeks turned a bright red.

“No, blood, it’s not necessary.”

But his upturned lips already betrayed his true feelings. It seemed like he was about to relent. I placed both hands on my hips and nodded firmly.

“No, it is necessary. I’m taking you with me!”

“…Are you really taking me? There’s no one who needs a big guy like me. Are you sure this isn’t something strange?”
He looked at me with suspicious eyes.

It was a repeated question, but I answered sincerely.

Well, even though I originally said I would take him, it’s understandable that he might have doubts!

“Yeah! It’s not strange at all!”

“Then…”

He looked at me silently. The atmosphere seemed like he was about to say he would come with me…!

Sure enough, he looked at me with determined eyes and said, “Mom…”
“Mom…”

I tilted my head slightly in response to his hesitant words.

“Hmm? Mom?”

He didn’t say anything more and just pursed his lips.

I’m a quick-witted kid. Why would a child from an orphanage talk about having a mom and set conditions?

Instead of prying into the reason for his silence, I responded with a cheerful smile, “If you come with me, Mom will give you a car too!”

“…Really?”
Pretending not to be, but the child seemed like a typical child. You could tell by their reaction to the promise of finding a mom.

“Okay!”

I never had a real mom in my past life, and I still don’t have one in this life. So I don’t exactly know what those emotions that crossed the Captain’s eyes mean, but it’s okay.

“Promise!”
I extended my thumb and pinky in the ‘promise’ gesture and reached out to him. I had hoped that this would resolve everything, but the Captain just stared at me with a suspicious look.

“…Do you need my prophetic abilities?”

Since the Captain was straightforward, it was best for me to be honest too.

“Yes.”

He cautiously spoke to me.

“So, what about the ordinary kids without prophetic abilities? Are they not needed?”
The Captain seemed to have a strong affection for the other ordinary kids, his gaze darting around with a hint of tension.

I could understand his feelings well. After all, even I had started to warm up to the kids while sharing bread with them today.

Watching the kids giggling and throwing flour enthusiastically, I found it amusing, so I quickly made up my mind.

“I may not be able to take them to the clan, but I’ll sponsor this orphanage in our father’s name.”
I was momentarily worried because, as a five-year-old, I didn’t have any money.

I suddenly felt the harsh reality that I needed money to survive.

Having many people but no money meant that I could easily be taken advantage of.

“Once I return home, I should carefully examine the top items that were popular in the original.”

Certainly, there must have been many items that caused a sensation in the original work.
There are certainly things I can apply. For example, Grandma’s poison business, Delphia’s magic tool business, or the maids’ exercise business, and so on.

I kept reminding myself of this fact as I looked at the captain.

And just when I was determined…

“…To go this far, I’ll give you a chance to trust you.”

He nodded while saying he would trust me.

The captain, despite his rough appearance, had a somewhat innocent side.
He didn’t even use a contract and immediately shook my hand to stamp the promise.

“…First, find our mom. Mom said she’s going to the Mercy Region.”

I was momentarily taken aback by the mention of the Mercy Region and bit my lip.

…Wait a minute.

If it’s the Mercy Region, it’s a border area where Axel Mirmod is located. It’s a place where a war has been raging for a while.
