Um?
The young man suddenly raised his head.
What?
…
"Do you feel any happier?"
The eldest sister looked at the little boy's seemingly bewildered face and repeated her question with a smile.
…
The boy was really at a loss.
first……
Someone did something to...make him happy...
Originally, he was very grateful that the eldest sister was willing to listen to his complaints patiently.
did not think of……
The little boy felt a sense of sourness rising up his nose.
The corners of his eyes were so hot that he couldn't help but blink.
A tear fell.
It hit his hand holding the flower.
He shrank subconsciously.
So hot.
…
"Aren't you happy?"
The eldest sister looked slightly calm.
"I thought you'd like-"
In her impression, most humans like flowers.
Especially when she remembers...
One night she passed by a house.
I was a little surprised to see so many humans gathered together.
Out of curiosity, she made a stop.
Observe those humans carefully.
Soon, she knew the reason.
It turns out that so many people gather together at night to watch a flower called Epiphyllum bloom.
…
A flash in the pan?
It's quite beautiful.
…
This time when she was thinking about how to make this child happy, she thought of the sincere smiles on those human faces at that time...
So, what did she do wrong?
…
"like!"
The little boy shouted hurriedly.
"I'm not unhappy!"
"I am very happy!"
"I'm really happy!"
Speaking of the latter part, the little boy's voice revealed a hint of crying.
…
"Yeah?"
The eldest sister was slightly startled.
Then he pursed his lips and smiled.
"Just be happy."
Sure enough, some human preferences are very similar.
For example, enjoy beautiful flowers blooming.
…
but……
There was some confusion on the eldest sister's face.
"Then why are you crying?"
…
"I……"
The little boy was just about to say that he wasn't crying when another tear fell.
He pursed his lips.
yes.
He cried.
Why was he crying?
…
"Because...because..."
The little boy's voice was choked.
He couldn't control his emotions.
When I heard the words from my eldest sister, "Do you feel a little happier?"...
He only felt turbulent emotions rising up.
It was like the waves hitting the rocks swallowed him up instantly.
He was a little confused.
Some were also frightened by their intense emotions.
He reached up and wiped the tears from his face.
As a result, there were more and more tears.
What were originally just drops of tears suddenly connected into a line and fell continuously.
…
"Do you really like it?"
The eldest sister couldn't help but ask questions.
"If you don't like it-"
…
"like!"
The little boy said loudly.
