Chapter 1 - A Smart Boy

A small blond boy with blue eyes is kneeling behind a crate and looking at a corner store and thinks to himself:"I need around 2 bronze to pay back my debt to Jess, maybe she'll accept an apple." as he looks at the apples and starts calculating:" the store owner is currently talking to a customer, his assistant is loading boxes, they shouldn't notice me, the probability of the theft succeeding is around 89% in case of unexpected variables." he runs around the the crate and sneaks behind the customer the owner is servicing. The apples are right above him now he just has to quickly grab them the shop owner notices him and says:" hey little man what are you doing there?" in a slightly annoyed voice the blond boy says:"oh nothing I just dropped my coins and they rolled here." "make sure to go away after you find them." says the shop owner the blond boy let's out a quiet sigh and quickly grabbed a green apple and hides it in his shirt and runs off, he looks around and notices a guard, he acted without thinking and pulled out the apple before the guard noticing that he hid it in his shirt the guard looks at him and says:"hey, how are you? Wait aren't you the kid who helped me find those punks the other day, what was your name again... I think it was lad was it?" the blond boy says:"no it's Laniakea." "ohh that's a interesting name does it have a meaning." I don't know I never learnt how to read." quickly responds Laniakea almost as practiced and quickly walks off. He thinks to himself:" had I not brought out the apple then there would've been a 78% chance he'd have thought that I had stolen it." after arriving home, or the orphanage, A small girl with blue hair and green hair approaches him and says:"lan did you bring me my money." Laniakea says:"how many times did I tell you to call me Laniakea, Jessica." "Oh come on! And I told YOU to call me Jess, J.E.S.S if you won't listen to me then I also won't call you that and your names way too long." says Jessica while slightly pouting. Laniakea says:"well I did bring you something better than 2 bronze, a green apple worth 3 bronze since I know you like them more." as he pulls out the apple and Jessica let's out a high pitched sound unidentifiable by normal human ears and yells:"did you really get that for me." Laniakea says with a stern voice:"how often did I tell you not to make that demonic screech." while thinking about how adorable that was. "don't call a lad demonic!" she says angrily. Laniakea looks behind Jessica and says with a happy voice:"sister", a nun walks up to them and smiles asking them:"what have you guys been up to, huh?"
