As for whether the monster is willing to talk, it depends on Anna's "ability".
"next time……"
"I don't know if we can meet again..."
The girl was a little annoyed that she didn't have more contact with the civet cat before.
However, she was not someone who was good at this kind of thing.
…
"It's time for you to go home."
Xiao Xiao reminded the girls to pay attention to the time, "It's already dark."
ah?
The girl looked up.
"Is it really dark?!"
She was a little surprised.
It was still bright when she left the dance studio.
…
"How do you go home?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
"I'll take the bus back."
The girl answered honestly.
"Let's go."
"I'll take you to the bus station."
Xiao Xiao turned around and walked out of the alley.
"Why-"
The girl pursed her lips.
Although I don't want to trouble others.
Especially if the other person is a boy whom I don’t know that well.
But after what happened before, she felt that it was nice to have someone take her to the station...
…
"...Master Xiao"
Anna spoke up to break the silence between the two.
The colorful lights of the store, the flow of people, and the busy traffic on the street. These familiar scenes and the noise in her ears made her completely relax.
"Can the meat of that tanuki cat really make people not jealous?"
…
"Maybe."
"After all, I haven't eaten it."
Xiao Xiao thoughtfully said, "If I have a chance, I can try it."
"Why?"
The girl was surprised.
Try, try?
But……
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, isn't it?"
Xiao Xiao smiled sideways at the girl.
The girl blinked her eyes.
"……Um."
"Regret it?"
Xiao Xiao asked vaguely, but the girl suddenly understood what the other person was referring to.
She did not deny it as fiercely as before.
She lowered her eyelids and looked at the toes of her red sneakers.
"...I was just wondering if that would be a lot easier..."
…
"Well, it should be a lot easier."
Xiao Xiao's affirmation really made the girl feel a bit regretful.
Why did she refuse so firmly just now?
Master Xiao is here...
Master Xiao...
"ah!"
The girl exclaimed.
She seemed to understand why this boy was called Master Xiao.
Is this the reason?
She turned her face sideways and raised her eyes slightly to look at the boy beside her.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled at her, "What's wrong?"
The girl opens her mouth.
For a moment, she felt that she had many questions to ask.
But the moment before she spoke, she pursed her lips.
"……nothing."
She has never been one to care about other people's privacy.
If people are willing to speak, she listens.
If they don't tell her, she won't ask.
Her curiosity has never been very strong.
Probably because all her time and energy are devoted to pursuing her dreams.
Therefore, she has no extra energy to allocate to other people's affairs.
As time passed, she could clearly realize that she was becoming more and more anxious.
Every minute and every second is precious to her.
But...she wasted a lot of time these days.
"Alas~"
Before she could react, a sigh escaped her throat.
She was slightly startled.
…
Then the cup that appeared in front of her made her open her mouth in surprise.
"……milk tea?"
She knew there was a milk tea shop near the station.
The issue is……
When did Master Xiao go to buy it?
She didn't notice it at all.
Was she so distracted?
The girl smiled bitterly.
…
Xiao Xiao handed the milk tea forward a little further.
"I didn't know what you liked, so I bought the most common flavor."
Anna subconsciously took the milk tea.
A slight chill spreads from the fingertips.
She couldn't help but rub the side of the cup with her fingers a few times.
"Thanks."
"I like this taste very much."
…
After taking a sip of milk tea, the sweet taste seemed to spread throughout my body.
Anna's expression relaxed a little.
When you are in a bad mood, you really need to eat something sweet.
Although the milk tea was iced, she felt a little warm in her heart.
"Thanks."
She knew that Master Xiao noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he bought her milk tea.
Although the beginning of today was almost as bad as the previous few days.
Later, I was even more frightened.
But the result is good.
Whether it was the civet cat or Master Xiao, they all made her feel that she was not so hated by others.
damn it.
Why does she feel like crying again/
Anna hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to drink milk tea.
…
"arrive."
Xiao Xiao reminded the girls.
Anna looked up.
The all too familiar station came into view.
…
The car hasn't arrived yet.
Master Xiao didn't leave either.
Anna knew that Master Xiao wanted to see her get on the bus.
She opened and closed her mouth, but she still didn't say what she wanted Master Xiao to go back first.
…
There was only one boy at the station who was wearing headphones and looking down at his mobile phone.
Anna stood in the shadow under the license plate.
A burst of melodious music sounded.
Anna was stunned for a moment before realizing that the familiar-sounding music was her ringtone.
…
She took out her cell phone.
It's a call from home.
Ask her why she hasn't come home yet?
Her mother's worried tone made Anna's eyes heat up.
She seems to be particularly emotional today...
…
"Master Xiao."
This phone call seemed to make her decide.
"...I want to go and apologize to Xinxin."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao responded warmly.
The too peaceful reaction made Anna blink her eyes in confusion, "Aren't you surprised?"
She suddenly said this...
"My friend heard about this from your friend."
Xiao Xiao didn't hide anything.
Anna wanted to smile.
But it wasn't very successful.
"……Yeah?"
"Are they Zhao Ke and the others?"
At that time, they had a good chat with Master Xiao's friends.
"What did they say about me?"
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it either."
"It's nothing more than those words."
…
Anna didn't want to make her mood worse.
Finally, she felt that she was a little more open-minded.
She took a deep breath and said, "Master Xiao, I didn't want to hurt Xinxin."
"I don't want to hurt Zhao Ke and the others either."
"Although what they said really made me angry..."
Rather than being angry, I would say more embarrassed...
"...I threw the ruler in the direction of Zhao Ke and the others."
"I was so angry..."
"But I thought the ruler would fall off halfway..."
"... Even if I don't fall, I won't have much strength by the time I get to Zhao Ke and the others."
"They can catch the ruler easily."
If the relationship is good, even if the relationship between her and Zhao Ke is somewhat awkward, it can be regarded as a joke.
