Crow Crow saw him as if they had never been separated for such a long time.
Not missed.
No surprises.
There is no anger or blame.
Some are just indifferent and indifferent.
…
Even if you are very reluctant to accept it...
I also feel very uncomfortable...
But this was his meeting with Crow Crow again.
The boy can only accept it.
And digest it alone.
Because Crow Crow is the only one who can empathize with him...
I don't have similar feelings to him.
…
"Crow."
The boy looked at the gray-haired monster.
His hands were tangled together.
He felt so nervous that he could hardly stand still.
"you……"
"us……"
The boy was a little incoherent.
He was too nervous.
He knew that the next words might be his last conversation with Crow Crow.
He took a deep breath.
He didn't want to give up just like that.
Even if he was really hurt by Crow Crow's attitude.
But actually he deserves it...
He suppressed the pain, embarrassment, and embarrassment in his heart...
He sacrificed his face and wanted to fight for it again...
"We really can't be like we used to be..."
"Can't we be friends?"
…
Xiao Xiao's expression paused slightly.
Then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
The boy's directness was somewhat beyond his expectation.
really.
Children are more frank than adults.
Well.
He was referring to most children and adults.
After all, there are always exceptions.
…
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand towards the plate.
But I found that I had touched nothing.
He lowered his eyes.
Soon, his eyes fell on a dark figure.
…
The little Taotie's expression froze.
Soon, its eyes under its armpits narrowed into slits.
It narrows the gaping mouth.
Turn around and grin.
It obediently handed Xiao Xiao the snack in its paws that was about to enter its mouth.
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He smiled and took the snack handed over by the little Taotie.
He was not polite.
Under the eager gaze of the little glutton, I ate the snack.
Well.
The taste of this snack is really good.
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
…
Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Taotie's face, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a bit.
"You've already eaten most of the snack."
In addition to what the boy and he ate, there were also a piece of snacks for Ajiu, Abai, and Feifei. The rest of the snacks were taken care of by this glutton.
At an astonishing speed.
…
The little Taotie pouted.
He hummed and returned to his old position.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with its bigger appetite?
It is a big monster.
Naturally, the appetite is not comparable to that of these little demons.
certainly.
Little Taotie only dared to think about these words in his heart.
After all, neither Ah Jiu nor Ah Bai are particularly good-tempered monsters.
It's in a special situation right now.
It's better to pay attention.
It's true that a tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog.
Being tricked by shrimps in Longyou Shoal.
snort!
The little Taotie snorted heavily in his heart.
…
Feeling the weight on his head, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
Then he returned his attention to the boy and the gray-haired monster.
…
The gray-haired monster looked at the boy.
"friend?"
…
"Um."
The boy nodded vigorously.
"Just like the old days."
The boy is trying to save this friendship.
He clenched his hands.
His expression was sincere and eager.
…
"past?"
The gray-haired monster tilted his head.
…
"Um!"
The boy nodded vigorously again.
"past!"
The boy's eyes are bright.
"I can come and play with you."
"You will say hello to me."
"You'll say goodbye to me."
"You will let me swing with you..."
The boy described scenes from their past interactions.
His still young face was shining with memories.
Exudes bright light.
…
The gray-haired monster tilted his head and curled his hair.
The boy's description brought back memories of his past.
ah.
Yes.
It had gotten along well with the boy in the past.
Because it’s been a long time since I met a human being who can see it and chat with it.
It followed its will and made contact with the boy.
The picture book the boy told it was quite interesting.
Swinging on the swing with the boys is also fun.
Especially the way the boy panicked at first-
Although on the surface it showed impatience for repeatedly trying to save the boy.
But actually, she was very amused by the boy's clumsy and timid behavior.
pity……
Later, the boy got used to swinging and realized the fun, and he no longer had the initial panic.
However, listening to the boy shouting to be taller, listening to the boy laughing loudly...
It thinks this is not bad.
…
It thought that its relationship with the boy would last for a long time.
What it calls not short is already a long time.
You know, there is a huge gap between the lifespans of humans and monsters.
It wants to spend some time with boys.
Until the boy couldn't see it anymore.
Or, it has a new interest.
…
did not think of……
It hasn’t ended the relationship yet…
The boy disappeared first.
When I realized that the boy hadn't come for a long time, it had been about two weeks since the last time the boy came.
Crow Crow tilted his head.
Um.
It remembers.
The last time we parted, the boy said goodbye to it.
He also said that he would come and play with it again in a few days.
result……
It's been a long few days.
it wants to.
…
Because the boy, for the first time, he knew the feeling of time passing.
It felt like it had been waiting for the boy for a long time.
long time……
Then one day, it decided not to wait.
It's tired of it.
The endless waiting in sight makes him tired.
It doesn't wait for the boy.
It was the boy who broke his promise.
…
It swings on a "swing".
The elevated field of view allows it to see further.
He suddenly wanted to go for a walk further away.
The boy aroused his desire to communicate.
It's decided.
It's going to be out of the park.
Go and see further afield.
Find other humans with whom it can communicate.
Well.
So can monsters.
…
certainly.
It will still come back.
Its roots are here.
However, if it finds a better place... it doesn't mind moving very much.
…
It saw the boy again.
I don’t know how many days later, the boy finally came to the park again.
Here it is again under the maple tree.
He is looking for it.
It knows.
but……
It didn't appear.
…
Too late.
The boy showed up too late.
He is late.
It came to a conclusion casually.
It doesn't like to be late.
Since you don't like it...
Why does it appear?
…
It no longer paid attention to the boy who came to the park.
They are encountered only rarely.
It's always outside.
Boys can't go home too late.
Their times are staggered.
It won't stay put for him.
The boy won't miss the time to go home either.
In this case, they will only miss it again and again.
certainly.
Even if it didn't miss it, it had no intention of coming out to see the boy.
