The woodcutter talked a lot in one breath.
Tell the woman everything he just knew from his younger brother today.
...
The more the woman's expression became like a woodcutter's... strange.
...
“…Brother really said that?”
It took several seconds to digest what the woodcutter said...
certainly.
Successful digestion is impossible.
But the woman finally clarified some ideas.
"There are black monsters around him..."
Is this a fantasy?
because……
"We didn't see it."
The woman is very sure of this.
"We spend time with our younger brother every day..."
Although they didn't have much time to meet because their younger brother wanted to study.
But they live under one roof.
If there is really a black monster around my brother...
"Why didn't we see it?"
"I deliver food to my brother every day..."
...
The woodcutter smiled bitterly.
"yes."
"There are really the black monster he said around my brother..."
"How come we didn't find out?"
"But my brother said we can't see it."
...
“We can’t see it?”
The woman's mouth opened slightly, "That black monster?"
"We can't see it?"
"Why?"
"Didn't my brother say it's around me?"
...
"Um."
The woodcutter nodded, "But we just can't see it."
"That's why my brother believed so much that the black monster was a kind of auspiciousness given to him by God."
"I can bless him to take the gold list."
...
"But didn't my brother fail the exam?"
The woman blurted out.
Then, as if he realized something, the woman pursed her lips.
...
"Yes."
The woodcutter nodded.
"So my brother feels he's cheated."
“Very angry.”
"He's got a big shot..."
The woodcutter shook his head.
He told the woman that the young scholar had been in a random way into the abandoned house of someone else's house and had to rain for a few days.
...
"…The owner of the house thought he was crazy..."
The woodcutter's hand was tightly clenched.
...
The woman opened her mouth.
She was surprised.
She and the woodcutter both had high expectations for their younger brother.
My younger brother's performance has not disappointed them.
This exam...
The worst result they have ever thought of is nothing more than losing their reputation.
But that's OK.
There are still opportunities for exams.
The first time I thought it was a warm-up.
Treat it as accumulating experience.
They never expected...
It actually happened that the worst result they expected.
For a moment, the woman didn't know what to say.
...
“…I can’t find my younger brother everywhere.”
The woodcutter tells how he found his brother who was missing.
"Just when I don't know what to do..."
"I heard the voice of the owner of the house."
"He is looking for a candidate's family or friends."
"I suddenly felt that the person he was looking for was me."
The woodcutter smiled.
"I don't know if it's a sensation..."
"I went to the house with the owner of the house."
"I really found my brother."
The smile on the woodcutter's face faded.
"But what I saw was a very strange brother."
