My overall thoughts will be posted at the final volume

Possible spoilers ahead, you've been warned...

Chapters 11-15

I might have misunderstood something from the last volume because I found out that the old woman was actually the Auntie that the little girl Shiva have known, not some random old lady that was disguised to lure her. But even so, my suspicions only grew because she was the one who abandoned Shiva. There are some crumbs of hints left here and there about the mystery around Shiva's origin but it's so incoherent that I can't grasp the meaning of those hints yet. All I knew is that Shiva's origin is deeper than I initially thought. Especially when the Auntie told the Teacher that Shiva was already abandoned once before her. I don't even know if that Auntie is her blood-related aunt or not.

This volume is equally sad and heartwarming. It makes me so sad to see the Teacher desperately chasing after Shiva, despite being continuously attacked by the soldiers. He wanted to get Shiva back so bad but he's hesitating as well because even he doesn't know what's good for the child. He got her back before the volume ends and I'm glad it didn't get dragged out. His sincere concern truly touched my heart. The way he took care of her when Shiva got sick after saving her makes me so soft and I just wanted them to peacefully live their lives together.

Though the two are together again, the mystery element deepens once more.
