cereal.kira's manga / #Shotacon(2)

An abused child dies - unwanted and unloved - only to wake up in a different world. Now a mute, underfed slave, Ray's new life promises to be just as miserable as the old one until an elf sees him being beaten in the slave market and buys him on the spot. Before he knows what's happening, Ray finds himself in a lush manor being fed the first warm meal of his life. But is his suffering truly over, or will misfortune continue to plague him in his new home? Can this lonely, love-starved boy finally find happiness in a world where if you aren't loved, you disappear?

After leaving a scar on his best friend's face years ago, Tsubaki feels responsible and is determined to grow up big and strong so he can protect Yuu. Yuu is already in high school and Tsubaki is only in elementary, but he is sure that his feelings will get through and Yuu will eventually come to rely on him.
