Summary:
On the coast of Elbaf 63 years ago, her parents left five-year-old Charlotte Linlin. Her parents claimed that her father had work nearby and would pick her up later and promised to let her eat as much candy as she wanted if she stayed put. Linlin readily agreed, but when the parents returned to the ship, they solemnly revealed that they were leaving Linlin on the island. The mother cried, but the father assured her that it was necessary after all the destruction she had caused that had resulted in her being banished from their homeland. Her father hoped that the “holy mother” Carmel would save Linlin. Linlin sat on the shore for a long time, and when night fell, she became desperate and called for her parents.
One hundred years ago, the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry and Brogy, disappeared and the remnants of their crew were captured by marines. But before they were to be executed, the beautiful Sister Carmel intervened, claiming that Heaven had asked for a peaceful resolution. She revealed that the execution of the pirates would cause the giants of Elbaf to wage war on the humans, and when a beam of sunlight shone upon her in the middle of the storm, she asked for the giants’ guidance to create a world where all races lived. together in harmony. Carmel then set up an institution in Elbaf called the Sheep House, where she accepted all lost children regardless of their race. 37 years later, 80-year-old Carmel welcomed Linlin to the sheep house and promised to take care of her until her parents returned. Always bigger than everyone she met, Linlin was excited to live in a place where everything suited her size and felt like it was home. Once, Linlin cried when she revealed that she had put the bear and the wolf in a cage to make them reconcile, but the bear ate the wolf. When she tried to punish the bear, she killed it in one hit, and when Carmel heard this, she was shocked by Linlin’s strength, but praised her for trying to show kindness, regardless of whether it worked or not. Linlin also got into trouble when she tried to get rid of strange things like Longarm’s extra joint or Fish-Man’s fin, but Carmel assured her that it was normal, while asking everyone to forgive her because she was kind at heart.
Ten months later, Oimo and Kashii discuss Dorra and Brogy’s disappearance and decide to go get them if they don’t return in ten years. While they were talking, Linlin was chasing a giant girl named Gerd, and Kashii asked Linlin if preparations were made at the Sheep House. Linlin didn’t know what he was talking about, and Gerd revealed that they would be fasting for 12 days to celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival. Linlin was shocked at the thought of not eating, but Gerd assured her that there would be a great festival afterwards. Meanwhile, young Hajrudin was shown training to join the Giant Warrior Pirates once Dorry or Brogy returned, and former Giant Warrior Pirates captains and giant heroes, Jarul and Jorul, complimented Raideen as they entered the village. They declared that they must never forget their warrior heritage, and one of the giants asked why they were here. The two giant heroes revealed that they had come to eat semolina with everyone in the sheep house, and both Linlin and Gerd drooled with excitement at the thought of semolina.
Then the feast began and the participants thanked the sun for the birth of Loki, Goldberg, Road and for the growth of all the children. There was a lot of semla to eat, but Linlin loved it so much that she ate a lot of it very quickly and forced some giants to hold it back so that other people could eat it. Then the twelve-day fast began, and on the third day, Linlin was distressed by the lack of food. Carmel told her that the winter solstice festival was to celebrate the rebirth of the sun and they would be more grateful for the sun the longer their wait. Linlin loved Carmel so she obeyed her but on the seventh day she couldn’t stand her desires. Gerd rushes to Carmel in a panic, revealing that Linlin is wreaking havoc in the village, and Linlin is standing outside, surrounded by flames and the bodies of the giants she took down when she called for the semla. As Linlin’s housemates watched the scene in shock, Jorul angrily declared that Linlin had gone too far to be forgiven and that she was unfit to thank the sun as he was about to knock her down. Carmel tried to stop him, but he said that Linlin was an evil spirit in the form of a child as he raised his sword against her.
