Under the moonlight...it's as beautiful as a painting.
...
There was a look of surprise on the young man's face.
However, he looked at the strange man in front of him suspiciously, the vigilance in his eyes not diminishing at all.
"How do you know they're friends?"
"Do you understand what the butterfly says?"
"...can butterflies talk?"
The young man muttered.
Could it be that this person was caught trespassing in a house and just found an excuse to fool him?
He is sixteen years old, not six.
It's long past the age to read fairy tale books.
…
"I don't know if butterflies can talk."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "But Xiaolan is not a butterfly."
"Not a butterfly?"
The boy opened his eyes wide.
He subconsciously looked at the butterfly in the glass cover.
Apart from the difference in body shape, aren't they exactly the same?
…
"It's just like Xiao Yi."
"how-"
The boy blurted out.
"They are all monsters."
The boy's pupils contracted violently.
"you……"
Immediately he began to feel amused at his fuss.
He took a deep breath.
Isn't it natural that the other party knows that Koichi is a monster?
Didn't the scene he saw when he woke up say it all?
He slowly closed his mouth.
He's just not used to it.
He has never met... anyone like him who can see monsters.
The young man regained his composure.
His eyes fell on the man's fingertips.
The peacock blue butterfly... no, it's a monster that looks like a butterfly.
"That……"
The young man suddenly realized something,
He turned to look at the butterfly that had been on his desk for many days.
Is it also a monster?
"no."
The young man was startled.
Did he just say what was in his heart?
But he didn't care.
"It's not a monster?"
The young man murmured.
Too.
If it was also a monster, how could Xiao Yi not know about it?
"It's a butterfly."
Xiao Xiao moved his fingers slightly, and Xiao Lan flew up.
Xiao Xiao took back his hand.
"Can you give it to me?"
"My friends are worried about it."
Xiao Lan stopped next to Xiao Xiao's face.
Hearing this, Xiao Lan nodded.
Um.
It is very worried about the little butterfly.
…
"Butterflies are not monsters."
Xiao Xiao looked at the glass cover and said, "Their lives are very fragile."
"You keep it closed like this..."
"It will die."
…
"...I originally wanted to make butterfly specimens."
The boy's voice was muffled.
Xiao Xiao heard it clearly, "Specimen?"
"Are you going to-"
"no!"
As if he knew what the man was going to say next, the boy hurriedly interrupted, "I never thought about killing it."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
He knows this.
Otherwise, this little butterfly would not be in the glass cover now.
"I plan to wait for it to die..."
The boy's voice became weaker and weaker.
Xiao Xiao understood.
"So that's it."
The life span of butterflies varies depending on the species.
But the longest will not exceed one year.
That's still a separate species.
The lifespan of an average butterfly is only a short week.
The boy wanted to wait for the butterfly to die naturally and then use its body as a specimen.
…
"...This is one of my assignments..."
"I choose to make butterfly specimens..."
The boy pursed his lips when he realized that he had said a lot.
…
"I see."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "But the butterfly that was caught is Xiaolan's friend..."
"Can you give it back to us?"
…
The boy looked at the butterfly lying on the flower in the glass cover, and then at the monster the man called Xiaolan.
Finally, his eyes fell on the man's face.
"You... came here... just to save it?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
…
"……good."
The young man stepped aside and gave up his seat at the table, "You guys can take it away."
The parasitic vine monster didn't respond.
It seemed that he acquiesced to the boy's words.
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
But he didn't ask anything in a hurry.
He walked to the table.
Xiaolan suddenly flew to the glass cover.
small butterfly!
Its wings are raised -
"Wait a moment."
Xiaolan paused in her movements and looked at Master Xiao Xiao in confusion.
"Let me do it."
As he spoke, he reached out and raised the glass cover.
Xiaolan didn't know how much force to use. The falling glass shards might hurt the little butterfly inside.
…
"small butterfly!"
Xiaolan rushed to the peacefully lying butterfly.
…
The little butterfly is really peaceful.
"Little butterfly, little butterfly..."
Xiao Lan shouted excitedly.
"Little Butterfly, I'm here to save you!"
"Little butterfly, let me tell you, I found a very beautiful flower garden."
"Let's go see it together..."
"...There are so many big blue flowers."
"You like blue the most, don't you?"
"I like blue too."
"But I also like other colors."
"Of course, no color can compare with the color on me..."
Xiao Lan talked a lot.
…
Xiao Xiao didn't make a sound.
Suddenly, as if he noticed something, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
…
Xiaolan's voice stopped suddenly.
It heard something.
It's the sound of wings flapping and the air vibrating slightly.
…
Lying down quietly, like a sleeping butterfly slowly flying up.
"small butterfly!"
Xiao Lan shouted.
The joy in the voice made those who heard it laugh.
…
"……Feel sorry."
The young man spoke in a low voice.
"Why apologize?"
Xiao Xiao's rhetorical question left the young man speechless.
He was questioned.
He didn't know why he was apologizing.
But after he reacted, he had already said this.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
What's wrong with this young man?
He just wants to complete his homework.
He didn't even kill a butterfly in order to complete the specimen as quickly as possible. Instead, he kept the butterfly well and planned to wait until it died naturally before making specimens.
What I didn't expect was that this butterfly had a monster friend...
Then I witnessed the scene in front of me.
The young man inevitably felt guilty in his heart.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on the vines on the young man's body.
The boy at this time looked very similar to the child in his impression.
But completely different.
That child...when he saw it, he was pale, thin, and frightened, with despair hidden in his eyes.
But this boy is different.
There was nothing unusual about his expression.
The vines on his body seemed to be just ordinary vines.
And this monster seemed to be as quiet as an ordinary vine next to the boy.
…
"Xiaoyi..."
Xiao Xiao's words made the young man look away from Xiao Butterfly and Xiao Lan.
The vigilance that had disappeared before appeared again.
He took a step back slightly.
Looking at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes, he seemed to be asking Xiao Yi what happened?
…
"Do you know what kind of monster Xiaoyi is?"
Xiao Xiao's words made the young man a little puzzled...
