He thought it was fun.

But my mother will say something to him when she sees him like this.

Now that his mother is away, he has a great time.

Later, when he ran down the elevator, he accidentally bumped into an uncle.

The look in his uncle's eyes made him a little scared.

For a while, he didn't dare to take the elevator again.

He quickly ran to the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with a light layer of water vapor.

The child pressed his face against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The colorful umbrellas outside attracted the children's attention.

…

Um?

The child opens his eyes wide.

His face was distorted on the glass.

The child didn't notice anything.

that……

The elder brother who just walked over was holding an umbrella like everyone else.

but……

On the wrist that the elder brother exposed because he was holding an umbrella...

There is a white thing...

The child's eyes opened wider.

Move, move?

He seemed to be wagging his tail when he saw the white thing.

Slender, white, wrapped around a person's wrist...

snake!?

…

The child's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's a snake!

The child immediately rushed out of the mall.

He chased after his elder brother.

He was also shouting.

But the elder brother didn't seem to hear his voice.

He became increasingly anxious.

After almost hitting a third person, the kid saw his big brother stop!?

He suddenly looked happy.

New strength surged throughout my body.

He rushed towards his big brother with all his strength.

He stretched out his long hands and grasped the corner of his elder brother's clothes first.

Then the big brother won't be able to leave.

The child was panting.

But his face showed a bright smile to the elder brother who looked over.

"Big brother!"

…

"You."

The woman reached out and gently tapped the child's forehead.

"Your child's hobby..."

The woman said nothing.

She really didn't understand very well.

She knew exactly why the child fell in love with snakes.

That's why she didn't understand it more and more.

The protagonist of that animation is obviously a little cat.

Why...this kid just fell in love with a snake who is not the protagonist?

Thinking about how hard it was to get rid of the child’s idea of ​​raising a snake...

The woman felt quite tired.

This child...can't be like other children...

Isn’t it bad to like cats and dogs?

Cats and dogs are so fluffy and cute.

The snake is slippery and the color is rustic...

Well……

The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at the white snake on the wrist of the young man in front of her.

All right.

This snake is slippery though.

But the color is not earthy at all.

The white is shiny and shiny.

Inexplicably, it reminded her of mutton-fat white jade.

Well.

It looks quite expensive.

…

Such a beautiful pet snake...should be expensive, right?

The woman secretly guessed in her heart.

She shook her head almost imperceptibly.

She had heard of people keeping pet snakes.

This is the first time I encountered it.

She really doesn't understand the psychology of people who keep pet snakes.

But boys.

Probably just like it to be a little special.

Does raising snakes make them feel powerful?

…

Her little boy also likes snakes.

But, she couldn't accept the snake anymore.

…

"Mom, Snake!"

Children don't know the "thousands of twists and turns" going on in their mother's mind.

He wanted to share his joy with the woman.

"What a beautiful snake!"

…

"Yes Yes."

The woman pulled the child's hand and pointed at the white snake.
