The bell of Star Child Orphanage's
Chapel went off in the quiet. This bell which goes off absolutely at 6
in the morning, noon and at 6 in the evening. It is called the 'Bell of
Hope' by Seiya and the others. Seiya likes this bell which seems to heal
the wounded hearts of the children, children who had tough fates without
parents.
One day when it was near
Seiya's 6th birthday, by the power of Mitsumasa Kido, the President of
Graude Foundation, Seiya was unreasonably taken away from his sister, Seika.
In that time he could not hear that sound of the bell.
"Sister, this sound of
the bell. I think i heard something like that before we came to the Orphanage."
One day when Seiya was tracing back
to an instance in his young memory, he was able to remeber what his big
sister, Seika once told him, "Seiya, before we came to this Orphanage,
near the home where our parents lived, there was also a Chapel! When you
heard the chiming of that bell there, you ran around, yelling 'Kin Kon
Kan!!!'"
"Uhmm..."
Seiya has forgotten the
faces of his parents long ago, but what's interesting is that he can still
remeber what Seika told him that day.
(Big sister, where have
you gone...)
"Big Bro Seiya, Big Bro
Seiya", Makoto's voice suddenly brings Seiya back.
By defeating the assassins
sent by Pope Ares of Sanctuary, Seiya is enjoying this long-waited, and
brief resting period. He goes to visit Star Child Orphanage. Standing in
front of the main entrance, the chapel bell welcomes him. Without meaning
to, Seiya looks up at the bell tower and seems to remeber the conversation
he had with his sister.
"Ah, Makoto?..."
The orphanage's most high
spirited one, Makoto, coming with Akira and Tatsuya, standing with a grin,
"Big Bro Seiya! We kept calling you and you didn't answer. Was it because...
you were thinking about Big Sis Miho again?"
"Yes. Yes."
"A good matched couple.",
with Makoto's words, Akira and Tatsuya surprisingly chimes in with such
fast tongues.
"Stop saying cheeky things!
Look! A present."
Makoto took the present
and unwrapped it.
"Hey, Big Sis Miho, Big
Bro Seiya came!!"
Makoto and the others couldn't
scramble fast enough to hide their happiness on the outside. Fill with
joy, they run inside the orphange. As Seiya gets sent off by the smiling
children, he completely forgets he is the Pegasus Saint and he is just
only, Big Bro Seiya.
