"His name is Shiro!!", the lady shouted at the top of her voice in the small clinic.

It was basically a house made up of some wood and nothing else. It could hardly be called an hospital but that was the best that could be seen here since the place was poor.

No rich people could be found anywhere near the place and it seemed as if the Land was under constant threat of flood since it was quite close to the sea.

But despite that, the people lived there. They had to face hard times during the rainy season when the sea became almost unpredictable.

They would be required to evacuate to a higher area during that time and when the condition settles down, they would come back.

But the recent storm that took place was completely unexpected since it wasn't a rainy season in the first place.

It was the time of summer when there would be little to no rain and that was the very reason why it seemed like a good and bad sign at the same time.

It was good because many poor people got a lot of rainwater which could be used in various ways. It was considered bad since it killed many people and a lot more went missing.

"S-Shiro?", the doctor asked again because that type of name was uncommon to the area.

"How did you stumble upon that name?", the doctor asked while laughing.

"Well, I took it from the tales of the Sea Hero...", was what the lady replied while worrying about the child.

"Huh? Tales of the sea hero? That childish story?", the doctor laughed after hearing that while he was checking the child.

"Ah, it seems like he is hungry... feed him, then he will be alright.", was what the doctor said.

Shiro seemed quite calm all these times for reason unknown but the moment the doctor started checking him, he felt a bit irritated because of which he cried a bit.

"Oh... he is hungry...", she sighed with relief after hearing that.

"Thanks, Mornil...", she thanked the doctor whose name seemed to be Mornil Swagger.

"Ah, that's fine Loyola... you can visit me anytime..." he said.

He was a middle-aged man who was around 39-43 years old. He didn't have any white hairs on his head though he was bald but not completely. His beard was completely white.

He seemed like a kind and warm person since he was ready to help anyone anytime, but he was strict at times.

Loyola then left with the baby in her arms and went straight to her home.

"Haha, the tales of the sea hero she says...", he laughed.

What she said was indeed true since the letter 'S' was taken from Sea and the last part 'Hiro' was taken from Hero and was modified thus after mixing both of them it would be pronounced as SHIRO.

Probably that was also what Ria thought while naming Shiro!

She then pushed the door of her house which wasn't actually locked and then she entered it while slowly pushing the wooden door in order to close the entrance or exit.

Shiro seemed somewhat calm after coming back to Loyola's hands.

She slowly walked towards the small hard bed that was placed in the small house and sat on it.

"Eh? Mom... who is he?", suddenly a girl popped out of nowhere and asked.

The girl seemed quite young about 7-8 years. She was quite skinny at the same time.

It seemed as if she was suffering from minute Malnutrition but in the area, no one considered Malnutrition a big threat.

It seemed quite common in the area and that was why no one frets about it.

They could have easily Hunt fish since they were close to the sea but to do that, the heavy tax was supposed to be paid to the government or the Sea Federation.

They were basically monopolizing everything that was in the area due to which no one could go fishing.

That was why it was a wonder that Shiro wasn't detected by them. It might have been some fate due to which Shiro was destined to meet Loyola.

"Sera, he is Shiro, from today onwards he is your little brother...", Loyola said this with a smile on her face.

"L-little Brother...?", her eyes sparkled when she told that and she kept looking at Shiro who was sleeping in her arms.

Loyola then slowly moved Shiro and brought him close to her bosom and fed him with milk as per what Mornil Said.

Sera kept staring at Shiro who was being fed. It seemed as if she wanted to touch him.

She was attracted to him and probably wanted to know what a young one feels like.

Loyola finished feeding Shiro who was now sound asleep.

She then placed Shiro gently on the bed and then walked towards one corner of the room in order to get some leaves so that the bed could be made a bit softer for Shiro to sleep.

"You are my little brother... hehe...", Sera laughed while saying that and slowly touched his round puffed cheeks.

She kept staring at him for quite some time while he was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, Loyola had brought the Leaves and placed them properly upon which she laid another piece of clothing. Finally, she lifted Shiro and placed him on that.

"Good... now there won't be any problem...", she sighed.

Sera kept looking at Shiro even now and lay down just beside him.

"Good night... little brother:..", while saying this she too fell asleep while holding his right hand.

Shiro slept on the other side of the bed where he wouldn't fall since there was a wall in the room.

The side where Sera was sleeping didn't have any wall so she could have fallen, but Loyola decided to sleep on that side as usual so that they don't fall.

She looked at them while they slept and then turned back on remembering something.

She slowly removed the locket which was on Shiro's neck and took a glance at it.

"It's good that I removed this from his body... otherwise if someone had seen it then they could have harmed him...", was what she said.
