A prince from a certain American comic book

Not long after.

The old, dilapidated car, which was making noises everywhere and was about to be scrapped, struggled to a stop.

The car door opens.

The girls of various ages who had been adopted by Sister Charlotte got off the bus one by one.

Sister Charlotte stood at the car door, reminding the girls to watch their step.

Ekko remained seated and motionless.

Women first, after all.

Just then.

With a loud bang.

Ike snapped out of his daze and looked at the cane that had fallen to the floor of the carriage. Janice, whose hair was a little curly, tried her best to squat down and pick it up herself.

Janice's left leg is not flexible due to polio.

Janice, clutching a doll, tried to maintain her balance while picking up her fallen cane, but she was powerless to do so.

Ike bent down to pick up the cane from the floor and helped Janice, who was halfway down, to her feet.

Janice looked up at Ike, who had the same blond hair as her, and was momentarily stunned when she saw the smile on Ike's lips.

next second.

Janice took the cane and said softly with her head bowed, "Thank you."

Ike did not reply.

Sister Charlotte and Father Massey, who were standing at the door, couldn't help but exchange a glance.

quite a while.

After Janice got out of the car with her cane, Ike followed her out. After glancing at the somewhat aged-looking man in a yellow leather jacket who was walking over, Ike followed the six women in front of him.

Jerry the mouse on my shoulder kept squeaking softly.

Ike nodded calmly and said in a low voice, "It should be a black-eyed demon, a small demon. Demons of this level shouldn't dare to mess with us. It's fine."

Hell also has levels.

Black-eyed demons are the lowest rank, the most common type of demon. If you throw a brick in Hell, one brick can hit five Black-eyed demons.

Next comes red eyes, followed by white eyes.

The highest-ranking demon is the yellow-eyed one.

For example, Mephisto is like that, as is his son, the mentally challenged witch demon who was fooled twice by the supernatural world, who also has yellow eyes.

Ike learned this knowledge in the library after his etiquette training ended, under the threat of his sister Elsa's ice hammer.

In the words of her sister Elsa, Arendelle is a kingdom, and as the future king, in addition to having proper royal etiquette, one must also have extensive knowledge.

Jerry the mouse continued to squeak, while pointing to a certain direction on the second floor of the house on the left.

Ike raised an eyebrow and said, "Sealed off?"

Jerry the mouse: "Squeak squeak squeak".

Ike smiled slightly and said, "That would be even better. As long as the seal isn't broken, that demon can only watch helplessly."

Done.

Ike patted Jerry the mouse's little head on his shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort.

Ike thought his actions were normal, but the priest, nun, and landlord who were talking with him behind him thought they were a bit strange.

Seeing this, Father Massey said to Sister Charlotte, "Well, I believe this little guy has been imprisoned by ogres for eight years."

Sister Charlotte looked at the priest with some displeasure.

Father Massey made an apologetic expression.

The landlord, whose full name was Samuel Mullins, glanced at Ike's retreating figure before turning to Sister Charlotte and asking, "Is this the child who was rescued from the ogres and has been missing for eight years?"

Sister Charlotte nodded, worried that the landlord might have other ideas, and said, "Mr. Mullins, Ike has been very well-behaved these past few days. Apart from being a little quiet, he will definitely not be a burden, I assure you."

The usually stern landlord nodded slightly.

Father Massey, standing nearby, said, “Mr. Mullins, why don’t you take the girls around and show them around? I can help them unload their luggage.”

Mr. Mullins remained expressionless, simply turning around and saying, "I'll start from the inside."

Sister Charlotte turned and thanked Father Massey before catching up with Mr. Mullins, who had already walked ahead.

quite a while.

Ike leaned against the wall, seemingly lost in his own world.

The girls entered the room and looked around like curious children.

"Wow."

“This place is as big as a castle, so it’s obvious that we are the princesses.”

“If this is our new orphanage, I think I never want to be adopted.”

"And an oven."

"I saw the fish tank."

There's also a TV here.

Seeing the curious girls, the landlord, Mr. Mullins, said, "The television has been broken for a long time, but the radio still works."

Ike stood at the door, remaining calm and composed.

Fortunately.

He has Jerry the mouse, and Jerry the mouse's satchel contains many magical things.

What TV?

He doesn't need anything; with Jerry the mouse, he has everything.

……

Chapter 008: The Existence of the Seal

"The restaurant is big enough to accommodate all of us."

"My wife, Mrs. Mullins, and I sleep here. You are free to use the rest of the downstairs room. Your room is upstairs."

After half an hour.

After showing the girls of different ages around the restaurant, living room, and lounge, the landlord, Mullins, walked up the stairs while talking.

Sister Charlotte, who was behind them, glanced at Janice, who was leaning on her cane and staring at Ike at the door, and said to Mr. Mullins, who had already gone up the stairs, "Mr. Mullins, are Janice, Ike, and I already living downstairs?"

The girls immediately looked at Ike, who was standing at the door, seemingly lost in his own world.

Ike remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Mr. Mullins looked down over the women and glanced at Ike, who was standing in the doorway as if talking to thin air, and then said, "Ike can stay in the attic."

Then.

Mr. Mullins once again demonstrated the legendary home elevator.

Janice experienced a high-tech experience she had never had before, riding in a simple and slow elevator.

Janice, sitting in the makeshift elevator, revealed a smile she had never shown before.

Ike's smile caught his attention.

Jerry the mouse on my shoulder squeaked softly, while Tom the cat, hiding under the big tree by the door, was resting with heavy breaths...

"Hurry up, Ike."

"..."

Ike snapped out of his daze, glanced at Sister Charlotte who had called him, and then followed her.

The second floor.

The room with four beds was immediately assigned to two older girls.

Janice and Linda weren't given a spot in the big room.

“Ike, your room is on the third floor.” Sister Charlotte pointed to the stairs leading to the attic and looked at Ike, who had no expression on his face, and said gently, “Would you like me to go up with you?”

Ike shook his head and climbed the stairs leading to the third-floor attic on his own.

Ten minutes later.

Ike went downstairs and went straight into the small room with the double bed that Janice and Linda had found.

Sister Charlotte, who was in the room, looked at Ike, who had come over, with some confusion.

Ike spoke for the first time: "I like it here."

Sister Charlotte was taken aback.

Janice and Linda were also slightly taken aback.

quite a while.

Sister Charlotte smiled slightly and said, "Then you can sleep here."

Janice and Linda were just about to speak when Sister Charlotte pulled them away before they could even open their mouths.

Then.

Janice and Linda's somewhat aggrieved feelings instantly dissipated when they saw the large bed in the third-floor attic, big enough for three people to lie down in.

The attic is clearly better than the small room on the second floor, and it even has a separate bathroom, so why did Ike want to switch?

Sister Charlotte stood at the doorway of the attic, wondering with great curiosity.

In a small room on the second floor.

After locking the door, Ike breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said to Jerry, who had emerged from his stealth state, "I now seriously suspect that you made up this identity on purpose."

Jerry the mouse seemed to have been accused of something baseless and immediately stood up and started squeaking.
