However, no matter what, Eve knew that she had to take him away from here now. If they stayed here any longer, his body wouldn't hold up.
Then, Eve asked, "Where is your home? If we go there, we might be able to find some clues about your mother."
"..." The boy heard this and immediately looked in a direction.
That was a rather remote suburban area, directly opposite the city center.
"Is that so? Over there, huh? Well, having a destination is better than wandering around aimlessly. Hmm... but, if you're hungry, you won't have the strength to look for your mother. So, let's go eat something first. After we eat, we'll go look. Is that okay?"
"..." The boy nodded, not refusing.
"Then... let's go."
Saying this, Eve held the boy's hand, and the two of them left, walking through the city.
It was now deep autumn, and the wind that blew was increasingly cold, making this already chilly city feel even colder.
