Chapter 1,785 Fulfillment of Contract
Such a big forest...
The child pursed his lips.
He also clenched his hands hanging by his sides.
...
The child took steps.
He didn't stay where he was.
Tiger agreed to him.
I will play with him today.
That tiger... will definitely appear in front of him.
They made an appointment, didn't they?
The child opened his eyes wide and scanned his surroundings.
The tiger was so big. If the tiger was nearby, he would definitely be able to see it at a glance.
"...Tiger...Tiger..."
"tiger!"
The child just screamed softly at first.
It seemed like he was just reminding himself of the target he was looking for.
As time passed, his voice became louder and louder.
It's not a reminder to myself.
But he hopes that the owner of the name can hear his call and appear in front of him.
...
Beads of sweat broke out on the child's forehead.
Even in the forest, the scorching heat of the sun is weakened by the blocking effect of dense trees.
But as time went by, the cicada’s cries became louder and louder.
He reached out and touched the leaves on the side.
A feeling of hotness.
His clothes were also somewhat stuck to his body.
Coupled with the disappointment of searching for a long time to no avail.
He frowned very irritably.
Especially after thinking about what his grandpa and grandma said before, in addition to being irritated, he also felt a little scared.
The child took a deep breath.
Will not.
He is no longer a child.
Can't he tell whether the tiger is real or fake?
Yesterday's tiger was real.
He just hasn't found the tiger yet.
Keep looking and he will find it.
The child touched the sweat stains on his forehead.
Cheer yourself up mentally.
…
The child screamed loudly again.
The loud sound stirred up some echoes in the woods.
There are birds flapping their wings and flying high into the sky.
…
The woods during the day are very different from those at night.
Even though the shade of the trees is thick, everything around you is still beautifully reflected in the bright summer sunshine.
Not spooky.
It's not mysterious at all.
The child exhaled slowly.
He felt so depressed that he felt a little short of breath.
Could it be that... what grandpa and grandma said is true... yesterday's tiger was not real... just an illusion in the dense forest at night?
No no no.
The child shook his head vigorously.
How can it be?
How could a tiger-
The child's thoughts paused.
The body leans forward.
His foot tripped over something...
As a result, he tripped and fell regardless of whether it was night or day...
The child is prepared for pain.
The next second, he found that his downward body had stopped.
Feeling the tug of the clothes on his back, the child turned his head to look.
Then, he opened his eyes wide.
"……tiger?!"
The child yelled.
The tiger he has been missing is right behind him.
A paw pulled at the corner of his clothes.
He stabilized his body, which was about to fall.
"Tiger, tiger..."
The child was overjoyed.
The gloomy atmosphere around him was swept away.
He really found the tiger!
No.
The tiger appeared in front of him again.
The child smiled and frowned.
Yesterday, the tiger appeared next to him after he fell.
This time the tiger appeared earlier.
She appeared beside him when he was about to fall and stopped him in time.
The child suddenly had a guess.
Next time he wants to see a tiger, can he just fall down?
…
Seeing that the child had stood firm, the tiger released his paw.
This human kid is really clumsy.
Forget it at night.
Can it be broken in broad daylight?
Well.
The tiger was thoughtful.
This human cub must have a very hard life, right?
After all, you have to fall down from time to time.
…
Children and tigers "have their own minds".
If they knew what the other person was thinking, how would they feel?
…
"tiger."
The child was very excited and grinned widely, "You are finally out!"
"I've been looking for you for a long time."
"I called you a lot."
"Hello slow."
While he was complaining, there was a smile on the child's face and tone.
The tiger swung his tail.
In fact, it heard the child calling it earlier.
But it is hesitant to appear?
Yesterday it did more than necessary.
Originally, all it wanted to do was send this lost child away.
But when it saw the child in a miserable state, frightened and aggrieved, it still took him to see the fireflies.
The child smiled as expected.
However, thinking of the expression of the human who came to see the child yesterday, the tiger felt a little troubled.
It doesn't like troublesome things.
It doesn't want to get close to the source of trouble.
However, this child is too stupid.
People can actually fall in broad daylight.
It sighed and took action to catch the child who was about to fall.
When the time came, the child cried again.
Moreover, it also promised the child yesterday to meet him today.
It is a monster that keeps its word.
…
The child didn't really blame the tiger.
As long as the tiger appears, he will be happy.
and-
The tiger appeared during the day.
Doesn't that mean more... "Tiger, you are real."
The child couldn't help but reached out and gently touched the tiger's head.
The tiger didn't move.
Although the look on his face was a bit disgusting.
But just like last night, he didn't escape.
The touch under your hands is soft and real.
The child's heart that was hanging in the air completely fell back to where it was before, "That's great."
Grandpa, what grandma said is wrong.
The tiger is not fake.
His experience yesterday was not fake either.
…
The child raised his eyes and looked at the tiger's back, feeling as if his eyes were going to dazzle.
The colorful patterns on the tiger's back seem to come alive in the sunlight.
It seems a bit scary to describe it this way?
But what the child wants to say is that those patterns are like... running water.
Gurgling and flowing.
Brilliant.
Just like the sparkling waves on the water.
The child's eyes are bright.
…
The child sits on the back of the tiger.
Traveling through the mountains and forests.
The wind whistled past his ears.
It's a bit cool in the hot summer.
"Wow~"
"Haha~"
The child yelled wildly.
Loud laughter.
…
The tiger took the child to see the waterfall in the mountains.
The huge water flow crashed down from a high place, splashing water and making a terrifying sound.
The child opened his eyes wide.
Even though the splash of water hit his face and it hurt a little, he didn't hesitate to blink.
This was his first time to see such a huge waterfall at such a close distance.
Only then did he realize that what was written in the poem was not exaggerated at all.
…
Purple smoke rises from the incense burner in the sunshine, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance.
The stream flew straight down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the sky.
…
"Ouch~"
The tiger touched the child's arm.
After several times, the child reluctantly took his eyes away from the waterfall and turned to look at the tiger.
The tiger motioned to the child to look up.
The child raised his eyes somewhat confused.
Look in the direction the tiger is pointing...
