Did I miss something where did the little pig tailed girl come from.

She was abandoned on the island by the church exactly one year after our main char, just as he wanted to leave the island with his raft.
Afterwards he decided to stay on the island and take care of all the children that will be abandoned in the future. That's why he only left for a short time to get more resources.
I freaking love this novel. I was just randomly scrolling trough the new manga and had to hit the breaks when I spotted this. I have always wanted this to be translated.
