Until now, I had been strolling in the Royal Capital whenever I got the day off . Rather than hanging out in the nobles district, it was my pleasure wandering in the commoner district . But ever since Ryuu was born, I havent had the time for strolling around .

I was thinking of playing with him today, but he seems to be playing outside the capital alone . He will come back if I call him, but I didnt want to do that . He might make friends with someone out there .

As a result, while strolling for no purpose, I ended up in the commoners residential area . The small houses were crowded and confined, and the alleys were intricate .

There are no shops that I can use as a landmark, so I got lost . I remember the way I came, but I dont know the way back . Its fun to go to interesting places randomly .

Instinctively following the path, I went further into the intricate place and heard childrens voices . Its like they were arguing or something with mean voices .

Your hair is disgusting .

I know hes a demon child . He doesnt have a father, right?

Oh, does your mother like a demon?

I can hear the crying voice of a child being cursed at . I didnt plan to intervene in the childrens quarrel, but I changed my mind when I heard the harsh words .

When I hear the voice from the other side of the house, so I jumped over and landed silently .

The three boys surrounded a boy with dark brown hair . They look like seven years old .

What were you doing?

When I spoke, the three boys looked back in horror .

W-what about it? Its honestly none of your business .

Isnt it uncool ganging up on someone to bully them?

I wore a simple dress and hat to hide my hair for my stroll in the Royal Capital . Theyd never thought that a lady from a noble family will visit such a place .

His hair is black, isnt it? This guy is evil, and we are not the bad guys here .

The boys dark brown hair was the darkest colour I had ever seen in this world . Even Patricks grey hair was close to white, and it used to worry him, it makes sense if his hair made him into the subject of discrimination .

Not everyone with black hair is bad people, right?

But, his hair is black? Onee-san also think hes terrible, right?

They didnt appear to hold any reservation about discrimination against black hair . Maybe because theyre children? Adults might have some unpleasant feelings about it, but they didnt show it .

Once again, I realize the seriousness of discrimination against black hair in this kingdom . Until now I had let it slide, but when I saw someone else getting bullied over it, I thought I had to do something about it . Maybe my feeling was numb .

But I dont think his hair is black .

In front of the flabbergasted boys, I took off my hat and exposed my hair .

Isnt this the true black?

The boys who looked at my black hair that look as dark as the night before began to make a noise when they see my unbelievable hair .

A real demon?

Arent you a demon?

Oi! Dont be scared . Its just an ordinary person .

The leader of the group trying to calm down the other boys by saying that, but he didnt realize how contradictory his statement is .

You call that a Demon King? After this dont ever call dark brown as black from now on . Its unpleasant to mix them up .

When I said that, magical black balls are floating around me . When they saw it, theres fear in their expression, and they screamed and ran away .

He-lp!

I hope this will help lighten the bullying that the dark brown-haired boy went through

A-ano Thank you for your help .

Hey, dark brown-haired boy, it would have been meaningless if I stoop to their level and hating on you too .

See, you are going to run away too . Your hair is not black .

No, Im fine . If anything, its my hairs fault .

The boy replied with a faint smile that is about to break . He sounds like about to give up, just like the old me .

My name is Yumiela, how about you?

Im Phil, and Im six years old .

He was six years old, and I was five when I started to remember a memory from my previous life, and that moment made a great difference .

The memory of my previous life made me mentally stable . I also understood that discrimination would be unfounded . Since he has no such thing, his trauma is very deep .

Phil-kun, do you have any friends?

No, I dont .

How about your family?

I dont have a father, but my mother is kind .

When he spoke about his mother, he got this tranquil look on his face . He has a good family . I think thats something meaningful in his heart .

My parents didnt want to see my face, and frankly, I havent met them yet .

Etto, thats

But recently I made some friends . And I have a cute child, too .

What Yumiela-san have a child?!

Ah, I was about to explain that .

Hmm, I wonder if he should become Ryuus friend? They can be friends, and Id be relieved that my son has friends . I think its a good idea and a win-win for everyone .

Hes not a child that I gave birth . He doesnt have any friends yet; would you like to meet him?

Ha-hai . If its fine for me

My child is black too, okay?

Okay! I dont care about the hair colour .

Its not that his hair is black, but his whole body is . Well, thats the same thing .

Where are we going?

I brought Phil outside of the Royal Capitals outer wall . If you think about it carefully, hes less wary of strangers .

Wait a minute . I think hell come in 5 minutes .

I cast dark magic into the sky like a firework to call Ryuu .

Oh, you used magic just now . Perhaps Yumiela-san is noble?

Hes unexpectedly sharp . He speaks well and seems very mature . I got the impression that boys at his age are rowdy; maybe his circumstance also plays a factor here .

Dont worry too much about it, Im a low ranking noble .

For the time being, the Count is in high-ranking aristocrat category, but unless I told him, there would be no telling .

It looks like hes here .

Its not even three minutes yet, so Ryuu seems to play in the neighborhood . When I pointed at the distant sky, Phil looked around restlessly .

Eh, dragon? He is the one that has recently come to the Royal Capital .

Yeah, I want my child to meet you . Ryuu is a gentle child, so be at ease .

Ryuu, who flew straight at me, makes a thundering roar when he lands on the ground .

Ryuu, this boy is Phil-kun . Lets get along well, okay?

He roars at Phil, in his language that means hes good . Seeing this, he collapsed backwards .

O-ohh .

Phil is too afraid to speak . Um, this isnt going well . If you look at my child closely, you can see how charming and lovely he is, but his best quality is rarely transmitted .

N-nice to meet you, Ryuu-kun .

To my surprise, even when he paralyzed with terror, Phil stretched out his hand to Ryuus nose tip . It was ticklish for Ryuu, but there was no movement from him .

Phil-kun, are you okay? Arent you afraid?

When she lifted Phil from behind helping him up, he began to talk .

Because Ive had an unpleasant experience with my looks Etto, I dont want to dislike someone based on their appearance . Ryuu-kun looks scary, but he didnt mind when I touched him, maybe I could be friends with him

Phil is strong .

Patrick told me before that I was strong, but I think people like Phil is the stronger .

Yumiela-san, do you have a friend?

Right now, we are flying in the sky riding on Ryuus back . At first, Phil was afraid of him, but now he seems to enjoy the scenery .

Un, his name is Patrick . Why do you ask?

I couldnt make a friend by myself, so Yumiela-san is amazing .

Thats not true . It was Patrick who approached me and spoke to me for the first time .

Im the same as Phil . He is the one who greets me from the other side . I was halfway giving up that I will ever make friends .

Phil seems taken aback hearing that I had given up . Looking at his experience, Im not surprised if he feels the same . Something had to be done, so there will be no other children who had to deal with this problem like Phil .

But how do you stop discrimination?
