The boy couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Very fragrant.

A smile appeared on the boy's face.

…

"Xuanxuan, are you back?"

The woman who heard the commotion came out of the kitchen, her eyebrows curved.

"You came back just in time."

"dinner time."

…

"Um."

The boy responded loudly.

"I am hungry."

The words stated have a slightly coquettish tone.

…

"Then eat more."

The woman smiled.

"Don't forget to wash your hands before eating."

…

After dinner, my mother went to work.

Mom's job is to take a break.

One week off, one week off, two days off.

Mom came back specially to cook for him.

…

The boy lay on the window sill. He didn't look back until his mother could no longer be seen.

…

After being stunned for a while, the boy thought of what happened in the park that morning.

…

"I'm not human."

"I am a monster."

…

These two sentences echoed in the boy's mind.

The boy who was hit like a heavy hammer was a little dizzy.

…

The boy held his head.

she……

The boy was slightly startled.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In the end, he still didn't ask the girl's name.

Even if she says she is a monster.

But the boy is not used to using these two words to call the girl.

It's probably a preconceived impression.

In his eyes, she is just a girl.

She is a special girl with gray hair and gray eyes.

…

Yes or no……

Suddenly an idea flashed in the boy's mind.

She...is unwilling to tell him her name?

Is it because of monsters?

Or... you just don't want to tell him your name?

he does not know.

He hoped it was the former reason.

If it was the latter reason...he would feel a little hurt.

…

No matter what the identity of the other party is, the appearance of the other party greatly comforted him... This will not change.

He is very grateful to the other party.

This won't change either.

perhaps……

There was also something about the feeling that the other party gave him that was not at all abnormal... related.

That is...if the other party hadn't told him that she was a monster...

How can she let people see this?

…

monster……

He doesn't know what monsters are like.

but……

It should be different from humans.

He doesn't mean hair color or eye color.

Foreigners also have different hair and eye colors.

But they are all human beings.

But...

Don’t monsters have more distinctive features or something?

for example……

There are horns on the head... wings on the back... or skin like lava?

Monsters... shouldn't be like this, right?

Otherwise, why are they called monsters?

…

The "human touch" of girls is too strong, making it difficult for boys to really lead the other party into the identity of a monster.

ah……

no……

The boy looked startled.

There are still some...

That's when the sanitation aunt looked at him with a slightly strange expression and said she didn't see the girl...

At that moment, goosebumps broke out all over his body.

Looking back now, his heart seemed to be in disorder again.

"Dong~dong~dong~"

…

One moment... one moment...

It sounds like a drumstick hitting a cowhide drum hard.

Heavy, heavy and dull.

…

The boy couldn't help but open his mouth and gasp.

He hurriedly took several deep breaths.

Only then did the goosebumps covering his body slowly subside.

…

The boy shook his head.

That moment...

It was that moment…
To be continued...
