Paradise Hideout

The Paradise Hideout is a hideout belonging to "William Minerva" where all the orphans live in after they were saved by "Minerva" and his confidants. The hideout is established as a place for orphans they rescued from other farms to live at while they prepare a plan to wipe out all of the Demons in the world.

History
The hideout's origins were vague, but minor details of it were mentioned by some of its current inhabitants. Told by Jin, the hideout was once the remains of an obscure colony belonging to a demon clan who believed that the current monarchy was a little wrong. It somehow became a network owned by Norman's deceased ally, Smee, who told Norman about his network's existence. In February 2047, Norman escaped from Lambda 7214 after leading some other children there in an uprising. Smee was killed in the resulting conflict and Lambda 7214 was destroyed. As Smee was dying he passed the network down to Norman who proceeded to transformed it into a hideout, which he dubbed as a "paradise". Since then, Norman has been rescuing hundreds of orphans from various plantations and brought or guided them to the hideout. Due to the hideout's obscurity, Norman and the orphans all live peacefully within the hideout. Norman lords the hideout, which hence makes him the leader among the inhabitants, who all looked up to him and refer to him as William Minerva.

Exterior
The Paradise Hideout is located inside of a gargantuan hollowed out tree to keep it hidden from the outside world. The exterior of the hideout appears to be a normal tree apart from it's massive size.

Interior
The interior has many stories each with various buildings and rooms placed in a circular formation along the interior walls of the tree and having the appearance of a large town. Due to being located inside of a tree, the interior also contains multiple bushes and branches sticking out in different places. There is a large open space in the center of the hideout which serves as the central hub of the hideout. There are some spiral staircases leading up the various columns in the center to different levels of the hideout as well as several bridges overlapping each other on different floors. The Paradise Hideout is fully equipped with plumbing and electricity and thus contains various utility poles and electrical wires running throughout the hideout. There are also some clotheslines hanging from certain floors. The hideout contains dozens of residential buildings which include multiple bedrooms, guest rooms, bathrooms, recreational rooms, lounges, storage rooms, meeting rooms, and fully stocked pantries, as well as a hospital, a large dining room, a kitchen, a music room, a workshop, a laundry room, a garden, a sewing room, a library, an owl pen for Norman and Vincent's pet owls, an office for William Minerva, and many, many vacant rooms. Because The Paradise Hideout was originally built for demons, the ceilings are very high and the rooms are very spacious.

Cuvitidala Arc
After Hayato and Jin were rescued by Emma and her friends, the two wanted them to follow them back to the hideout. Emma and her group had later discovered the so called "William Minerva" is their close friend, Norman.

Trivia

 * The Paradise Hideout being located inside of a giant tree might be a reference to Peter Pan's hideout "Hangman's Tree", which was also located inside of a giant tree.
 * The Paradise Hideout is so big that a normal sized tree looks like a mushroom by comparison.
 * Power and electricity at The Paradise Hideout comes from an old power machine left behind by the demons who originally built and owned the hideout.
 * Although the bridges overlapping different floors are very sturdy and will not break due to being built to hold demons, very few of the children will actually cross them, instead preferring to take the stairs to different floors.
 * The top floors of the hideout are not used by the children due to them being difficult to access. However, the top floors are currently undergoing maintenance to make them more accessible and livable. Normans cape back symbol.png
 * Whenever Norman is outside of the Paradise Hideout, he wears a short hooded cape with lacy ends that has three vertically aligned diamond-shaped patterns on the back which he most likely acquired from Smee. The design on the back of the cape was a crest for the demon clan who once lived in the hideout.
 * Norman learned the demon language from Smee's information and the relics in the hideout.
 * In the official art book, the Paradise Hideout is compared to an ant hill in that it is an entire city (or colony) that exists inside of a gigantic natural object.
