A clergyman rescues a feral street girl and discovers hunger takes many forms.
At the request of his uncle, Tak-yi, who managed the Youth Association for several months, is a clergyman. Taki is concerned about the unidentified girl wandering around. I don’t want to meet you, but I feel sad after seeing my boat sit on the road. Tak decided to take a girl home for a while to protect her from a shabby inn, and she seems to have been left on the street from a very young age. Taki gives the girl the name Flower and does her best to serve as a guardian, but she begins to know what she needs to do to eat a side dish.
