Is this what the gray-haired girl meant?

…

"Um."

The gray-haired girl nodded casually.

"You are special."

…

He is special...

The boy rubbed his temples vigorously.

One sentence passed through his mind again.

"You are not human!"

the boy blurted out.

…

"Um."

The gray-haired girl stretched.

"I'm not human."

…

Such an astonishing fact was said by the gray-haired girl in such a...not at all cautious tone...

A wry smile slowly appeared on the boy's face.

"Be more serious."

"this matter……"

It's obviously an amazing thing -

No.

Very amazing thing.

The gray-haired girl's attitude would make him feel like he was in a state of turmoil and thunder because of this incident... It was unnecessary.

But because of the gray-haired girl's attitude, the boy felt that he was slowly calming down.

…

"Who are you……"

The boy thought of the gray-haired girl's words, "Monster?"

…

"Um"

Another trace of impatience appeared on the gray-haired girl's face.

"I don't want to answer the same questions again."

"I'm not human."

"I am a monster."

"Don't you understand?"

"Human beings are really stupid."

…

The disgusted human boy opened his mouth slightly.

Of course he understood these two sentences.

He's not stupid.

But the problem is that it is easier to understand than to accept.

Not to mention accepting it, he is still in the stage of trying to believe it.

Although judging from all circumstances, what the gray-haired girl said should be true...

but……

Even if he told himself this... again and again...

He still had some doubts in his heart.

…

Monster.

He is no longer a kindergarten kid.

He has long known that there are no monsters, no ghosts, no gods, no Buddhas, and no demons in the world.

This is the consensus of most humans he knows.

Of course he also knew that some people still believed in their existence.

But that's faith.

The teacher said that we should respect other people's beliefs.

Faith is different from feudal superstition.

They want to resist feudal superstition.

…

"Gululu~"

A growling sound interrupted the boy's thoughts.

The boy subconsciously reached out and covered his stomach.

He...is hungry.

he:……

He found that he didn't want to talk about the gray-haired girl. As soon as his stomach growled, he felt nothing at all.

The boy took a deep breath.

"Gululu~"

My stomach growled one after another.

The boy was a little shy.

He had breakfast this morning.

He couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.

Is it already noon now?

The boy suddenly became anxious.

If it's noon, then he has to go home.

Mom is waiting for him to eat at home.

…

The boy didn't have any props on his body that could tell the time.

only……

He pressed his stomach hard.

Now that his stomach is "complaining" to him...

Then, it should be getting late.

…

"I gotta go."

The boy looked at...the gray-haired girl on the maple tree.

The girl who claims to be a monster...

"It's almost noon."

"Mom is waiting for me to eat at home."

If it’s meal time and my mother doesn’t see him, will she be angry?

Thinking of this, the boy felt a little more anxious.
