"Not only that day, they have never appeared again since then."
"Maybe they discovered new homes."
"I went to a new home every day."
“Just like when I came to your home every day before.”
"Maybe……."
"They encountered unexpected problems in the mountains."
"Maybe……"
“They moved…”
“Anyway, there are many possibilities.”
“The result is the same.”
“They don’t show up anymore,”
"The master will regret it and miss it."
"But that's all."
"The owner doesn't know where to find them."
“There is no need to find them.”
"They were originally accidental."
"The owner didn't catch them either."
"Then they come and go freely."
The woodcutter looked at the young scholar.
"The black monster you mentioned is the same."
“It appears by chance.”
“Eat your food.”
"Now it may have found a better place to provide it with food."
"It may be tired of eating the food you provide it..."
“It went to a new place.”
"Of course I won't come to you."
...
The young scholar pursed his lips.
Then he suddenly realized what his brother was trying to say...
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but could not think of any refutation.
He knew in his heart...
What my brother said... makes sense.
The young scholar slowly and gently breathed out.
The depression in my heart was like a dark cloud covering the top, and I couldn't get rid of it at all.
...
"I remember……"
The woodcutter continues to work hard.
Cut the mess with a quick knife.
If this matter can be solved at one time this time, it would be better.
"You said you saw a black monster in that house?"
"You almost fell into the well."
"It saved you."
...
ah?
The woman covered her mouth and covered her scream.
The black monster saved his younger brother?
It seems...
The black monster doesn't seem to be very bad either...
...
The young scholar's eyes are dark.
No light.
...
The woodcutter is not soft-hearted.
“It was always here before, didn’t it?”
The woodcutter pointed to the house.
"How did it appear in the capital?"
"Are you following you?"
...
The young scholar clenched his fists.
He doesn't know.
It was not until he almost fell into the well that he realized that the black monster had also come to the capital.
His first reaction at that time was not why the black monster was in the capital?
But the black monster came to see him for a joke!
He was very angry.
The heavy rain not only did not calm him down at all, but instead seemed to be pouring oil on the fire.
Make the fire burn even more vigorously.
...
yes.
The black monster appeared in his study every time.
So reasonable guess...
The Black Monster's home should be nearby.
It is very likely that it is in the deep mountains and forests nearby.
Such a strange beast-
The young scholar calls the black monster a strange beast.
Because it is different from ordinary beasts.
The appearance is very special.
certainly.
Maybe he has less knowledge.
But this title is different from other wild beasts.
The young scholar likes it very much.
I think it can better describe the black monster.
Logically speaking, wild beasts don’t like places with a lot of people.
The strange beast must be too.
After so many years...
Who has ever seen bears, tigers or wild boars coming down the mountain?
It is rare for black monsters to go down the mountain frequently.
It is even rare to go to a capital that is so far away.
...
Black monster...
Did you really follow him to the capital?
The young scholar looked stunned.
On the way to the capital, he was full of confidence, excited, excited, nervous, and with expectations for the future...
I didn't notice whether the black monster followed him...
...
“No matter why it appears there….”
The woodcutter smiled.
“It all appeared in the capital.”
"You want to..."
"Is the capital a countryside like us?"
“There are delicacies and delicious foods that we cannot imagine.”
"The black monster probably is overjoyed."
"it should-"
“There will be at least a long time to stay there.”
The woodcutter gave a conservative judgment.
"Or I was attracted by something, and maybe I went further away."
"younger brother."
"The black monster has left."
“It has nothing to do with you.”
"I know you're angry that it lied to you."
"You feel fooled by it."
"But it saves you too."
"Can you count it as a result of its merits and demerits?"
The woodcutter unconsciously looked at the young scholar with some enthusiasm.
...
"I also know you are particularly unwilling to accept this result."
The woodcutter understood, "I don't think this is his true level."
"I think it's all black monsters that give you wrong perceptions and make you slack off."
“It doesn’t matter.”
“This is just your first exam.”
"You have many more opportunities later."
"If you are worried about this failure, you will not be able to calm down and study hard."
"What should you do with your next exam?"
"Don't you want to be on the list?"
...
"think."
The young scholar blurted out.
...
The woodcutter nodded.
"Then adjust your condition."
"Study hard."
"There is not enough time left until the next exam."
"It's not good to sharpen the gun in the last battle."
...
The young scholar's fingers were unconsciously clenching the back of his hand.
My brother said...
It makes a lot of sense.
Reason told him that he should indeed put down the black monster.
Focus on your own reading.
After returning, because his mind was full of black monsters, he couldn't read any of the contents in the book.
...
Emotionally...
The young scholar still wants to see the black monster.
...
Not willing to give up is like a maggot with bones...
It ate his heart all the time.
.....
He wanted to see the black monster.
I really want to see...
“…it’s good once.”
The young scholar muttered in a low voice.
...
"What?"
The woodcutter did not hear the young scholar's mutter clearly.
"What did you say?"
...
"elder brother."
The young scholar spoke seriously and looked serious.
"I……"
The young scholar pinched his fingers tightly.
"I want to see the black monster again."
"It's good once."
The young scholar hurriedly explained.
"I just want to see it again."
...
"Why?"
The woodcutter felt a little impatient, and anger, and a little bit like angering his inconvenience.
Too novel.
The younger brother who has always made him proud actually made him feel this way...
"I do not understand."
"younger brother."
The woodcutter and the young scholar spread their words and broke them.
"I think you're a clear separation."
"No matter what it did in the past, it saved you."
"That's enough to make up for everything."
"And, you haven't seen it after the exam."
"You've seen it."
