Such a big forest...
The child pursed his lips.
He also clenched his hands hanging by his sides.
...
The child took steps.
He didn't stay where he was.
Tiger agreed to him.
I will play with him today.
That tiger... will definitely appear in front of him.
They made an appointment, didn't they?
The child opened his eyes wide and scanned his surroundings.
The tiger was so big. If the tiger was nearby, he would definitely be able to see it at a glance.
"...Tiger...Tiger..."
"tiger!"
The child just screamed softly at first.
It seemed like he was just reminding himself of the target he was looking for.
As time passed, his voice became louder and louder.
It's not a reminder to myself.
But he hopes that the owner of the name can hear his call and appear in front of him.
...
Beads of sweat broke out on the child's forehead.
Even in the forest, the scorching heat of the sun is weakened by the blocking effect of dense trees.
But as time went by, the cicada’s cries became louder and louder.
He reached out and touched the leaves on the side.
A feeling of hotness.
His clothes were also somewhat stuck to his body.
Coupled with the disappointment of searching for a long time to no avail.
He frowned very irritably.
Especially after thinking about what his grandpa and grandma said before, in addition to being irritated, he also felt a little scared.
The child took a deep breath.
Will not.
He is no longer a child.
Can't he tell whether the tiger is real or fake?
Yesterday's tiger was real.
He just hasn't found the tiger yet.
Keep looking and he will find it.
The child touched the sweat stains on his forehead.
Cheer yourself up mentally.
…
The child screamed loudly again.
The loud sound stirred up some echoes in the woods.
There are birds flapping their wings and flying high into the sky.
…
The woods during the day are very different from those at night.
Even though the shade of the trees is thick, everything around you is still beautifully reflected in the bright summer sunshine.
Not spooky.
It's not mysterious at all.
The child exhaled slowly.
He felt so depressed that he felt a little short of breath.
Could it be that... what grandpa and grandma said is true... yesterday's tiger was not real... just an illusion in the dense forest at night?
No no no.
The child shook his head vigorously.
How can it be?
How could a tiger-
The child's thoughts paused.
The body leans forward.
His foot tripped over something...
As a result, he tripped and fell regardless of whether it was night or day...
The child is prepared for pain.
The next second, he found that his downward body had stopped.
Feeling the tug of the clothes on his back, the child turned his head to look.
Then, he opened his eyes wide.
"……tiger?!"
The child yelled.
The tiger he has been missing is right behind him.
A paw pulled at the corner of his clothes.
He stabilized his body, which was about to fall.
"Tiger, tiger..."
The child was overjoyed.
The gloomy atmosphere around him was swept away.
He really found the tiger!
No.
The tiger appeared in front of him again.
The child smiled and frowned.
Yesterday, the tiger appeared next to him after he fell.
This time the tiger appeared earlier.
She appeared beside him when he was about to fall and stopped him in time.
The child suddenly had a guess.
Next time he wants to see a tiger, can he just fall down?
…
Seeing that the child had stood firm, the tiger released his paw.
This human kid is really clumsy.
Forget it at night.
