About

Children living in an orphanage discover the facility's dark secret, beginning a drama of escape and flight. The children devise meticulous plans for their jailbreak, engaging in psychological and intellectual warfare against the 'Mother' they once loved as a guardian. Emma, Norman, and Ray lived at the Grace Field House (GF House) orphanage since they were young. Aside from the advanced daily intelligence tests and the rule forbidding them from leaving the grounds, they lived a life of comfort. They lived happily and energetically with their kind 'Mama,' Isabella, and over 30 younger 'siblings.' Children would leave the facility to go to foster parents as early as age 6, and at the latest by age 12. However, on the day 6-year-old Conny is set to leave for her foster parents, Emma and Norman sneak to the strictly forbidden 'Gate' to deliver a stuffed animal she forgot. There, they see monstrous man-eating demons and the lifeless body of Conny—and Isabella handing Conny over to the demons as 'food.' GF House was actually a 'farm' for the demons, and all the children were destined to be shipped out as livestock like Conny. Isabella, the 'kind Mama,' was actually a Breeder managing the 'harvest of food.' Edible Children Humans raised by demons for food. Those with higher intelligence are considered more valuable. Cases like GF House are rare; most farms are 'Mass-Production Farms' where children are raised as livestock in squalid conditions. Premium Farms Human farms that raise humans with high intelligence. There are four in total, with Grace Field ranked as the highest quality. It is believed that only Premium Farms with high intelligence would receive guidance from Minerva. Lambda Project A new human farm production plan aiming for more efficient production of high-quality edible children. By administering drugs to children, they aim to enhance brain and physical capabilities, mass-producing high-quality edible children at low cost. Gupna A religious ritual performed by intelligent demons before eating humans. A blood-sucking flower is pierced into the human's chest as an offering to God. Mama (Breeder) Humans entrusted by the demons with the management, education, and training of the edible children. This post is only allowed for those who were exceptionally excellent edible children and survived a harsh competition for survival. Like the Sisters, they have experienced combat with others during their candidate days, so they are not only brilliant but also skilled in martial arts. Sister (Proctor) Like the Mamas, they are appointed from those who won the aforementioned competition. They are dispatched from headquarters as needed to assist the Mama. Grandma The one who oversees the Mamas and Sisters of the human farms, a position reached by promotion from Mama. She appears to have the authority to dispose of Mamas or Sisters who are no longer needed.
