Steak and omelette
- My Pov -
Once again, time has flown by, and I can hardly believe I am already three years old. During these past three years, this place doesn't appear to have changed all that much, with the exception of the people who have come and gone.
As I predicted, this orphanage is located within the deepest wall, and I'm sure you'll understand immediately what I mean.

Karl Fritz, the 145th King of Eldia, was the one who was ultimately responsible for the country's destruction. After the fall of the Eldian Empire, he relocated a large number of Eldians to Paradis Island, where he built the Walls. Then he used the power of the Founding Titan to wipe humanity's memories of the outside world. He did this so they would no longer be able to interact with the outside world. After that, he became the first King of the Walls and ruler of humanity inside the Walls, changing his family name from Fritz to Reiss.
The Walls were three massive fortifications that stood on Paradis Island and served as a barrier between the ruins of Eldia and the outside world. Using an extremely large number of skinless titans of colossal size imprisoned inside the Walls' hollow core as the structure's foundation. Karl Fritz dissuaded the other nations from attacking Paradise by making up a false threat that he would unleash all the Colossal Titans that were imprisoned inside the wall upon the rest of the world if the other nations went ahead with their attack.

Maria is the name given to the third wall, which is the most exterior of the three. Rose is the name of the second exterior wall.
The final wall is called Sina, and it is known as a place where many people dream of living. This is not only because you will feel safe here, but also because the food and the quality of life here are higher than they are inside the Maria and Rose walls.
Because I've started to be able to walk more easily, I've started to be more active in my search for information around me. In addition, Milch, who has frequently asked me to accompany her to the store to buy essentials for daily life, has provided me with helpful information.
The location of this orphanage, which is at the deepest part of the Sina wall, is only one of its main aspects... It turns out that this orphanage is not just any orphanage, as the nobles and the church support this orphanage behind the scenes.
I'm getting more and more excited to immediately carry out my other plans, despite the fact that I'm not entirely clear on the exact objectives of each of the parties involved.
"What's the matter, Kaiser? Why are you smiling all of a sudden?"
I had been daydreaming for a very long time, but when I suddenly heard a woman's voice beside me, I finally came to my senses, and with a cute smile on my face, I said what I had been thinking, "It's okay, I'm just happy I can go for a walk with you."
The woman's voice came from Milch, who was currently walking beside me while holding my hand. At the time, the two of us were walking home through the busy city streets after completing our shopping.
When Milch first started speaking, she had a gleeful smile on her face and said, "Thank you." However, as she continued, her expression became more serious.
"Are you sure you will become a pastor? Because after you go with pastor Nick, you can't take back what you said, you know."
"Yeah, I'm sure that as long as Milch is by my side, I'll be fine no matter what."
When Milch heard the pleasant words that I was saying, she could only smile broadly and nod her head up and down as if she agreed with what I was saying, "hmm... hmm..."
As you can see, Milch has finally given me permission to join Pastor Nick and offer my assistance to him in his religious organization, known as the "Order of the Walls."
You could say that all of this could have occurred as a result of the hard work that I did continuously without giving up, or you could say that I was able to find Milch's weak spot, which allowed all of this to be possible.
After Pastor Nick visited the orphanage at that time, I began to strengthen my bond with Milch in other ways. I'm sure you all are aware of what I did to accomplish that goal, right?
"Take a good look at that young boy. He has a very strange appearance..."
"I'm not surprised. Look who the little boy is walking with..."
"Ah, now I get it... it's true that those zealots are completely insane... it's no wonder that even that young child has a weird appearance..."
Suddenly, from all around me, I heard a voice that contained mockery while concentrating on the thoughts that were going through my head.
And when I turned to look in the direction of the voice, I noticed people walking by huddled together and murmuring to one another while staring at me with a disdainful expression.
Even if they had spoken more quietly, I have no doubt that everybody else in this street would have been able to hear it clearly. And thus, as the topic of their conversation, I would have been able to hear it more clearly than anyone else.
It was only natural for them to react in that manner, not only because I was with Milch, who was a member of the 'Order of the Walls,' but also due to the fact that I had an unusual appearance.
Even when I first looked in the mirror and saw my appearance, I was surprised because, yes, I will admit that my appearance was unusual. Even then, however, I was surprised.
The fact that I have white hair, pale skin, and red eyes gives the impression that I belong to an endangered species within these walls.
It is possible to say that my face has an attractive appearance. However, it appears that many people, particularly women, when looking at me, have the impression that they are looking down on me. However, when I look into these women's eyes, I see a strange glint.
But I didn't give it much thought, and as per usual, I just assumed that my appearance like this was also due to a mistake that occurred during my transfer to this world.
"Kaiser, what kind of food do you have in mind for dinner tonight?"
Milch still had a pleasant smile on her face as if she didn't care what the passersby said before, and seeing that, I, who from the beginning didn't care what those people said, also responded with a cheerful smile.
"Hmm...oh, I know, steak and omelette."
"Alright then, I'll make a generous portion especially for the hungry Kaiser,"
I couldn't help but chuckle at Milch's response, and after that, the two of us continued our stroll back to our homes, or I guess you could call it an orphanage. On the way, I made sure to look around at the beautiful scenery that was all around me.
I would much rather look at buildings and other small details than the disdainful looks I get from pedestrians.
Because no matter how many times I see it, I still can't believe I'm actually in the world of Attack on Titan. This is because the scenery I'm currently seeing is even more impressive and beautiful than what I saw in the manga or anime.
When I look at locations or areas that I have seen in the manga and anime, my entire body will sometimes shake, but now that I am actually experiencing it, I can feel the air and the atmosphere directly with my body.
