Later, the little monster finally heard the sound again.
The joyful mood did not rise but became more and more depressed.
It's not a man's voice.
The unfamiliar voice made it a little uneasy.
At that time, it did not expect that the owner of that strange voice would stay with it for a long time.
...
It's still in the jade.
You can hear the sound, but you can't see the face of the owner of the sound.
It misses the sunshine a little bit.
It feels warm on the body...
The blue sky is beautiful...
The white clouds are fluffy, and the man said they look very similar.
It doesn't know what it is.
The man bought it specially for him to eat.
Soft and sticky.
sweet.
It accidentally got covered in it, and the man helped it clean it up for a long time.
Later, I gave it small pieces to eat.
Same taste.
But it prefers the fluffy kind.
I like the way the man frowns to keep it still and cleans it carefully.
The man said to him, "You've already turned into an idiot, and you're still smiling so happily."
It smiled even more happily.
It likes.
...
It missed him.
The smile on his face dimmed because of the memories.
More than anything else, it wanted to hear his voice.
Want to see him most.
Why hasn't he come yet?
Has the human that made it uneasy left yet?
Is he... going to be okay?
...
After a long time, it accidentally got the answer from the voice it gradually became familiar with.
He...is no longer here.
At first, it didn't quite understand what it meant to be gone.
But his brother...
Yes.
It already knew that the person who had been talking to Yuqiu during this period was his younger brother.
His brother said a lot.
Why did my brother care about a jade ball in the end?
He said that his brother must tell him what the jade ball is for?
He expressed his confusion and confusion.
Said he... missed his brother...
...
It took a long time to understand and accept this fact.
It has nothing to do in the jade ball.
All day long...day or night...
All it thinks about is him.
Listen to what his brother said about him.
...
Gradually, his brother stopped talking to it for a long time.
It can't hear anything about him either.
Its world is quiet.
There was no sound of wind, no sound of rain, and no sound of his voice.
Its body shrank into a ball.
The wings are folded in front of the body.
It slowly closed its eyes.
A sudden sleepiness overtook his mind.
It's going to sleep.
...
"That's good."
Xiao Xiao gently touched the little monster's head.
There was no misunderstanding between the man and the monster from beginning to end.
They have always valued each other.
If the little monster had been in the jade ball for so many years with resentment towards the human being who still cared about it until the last moment...
For this pair of friends, it really feels a bit cruel.
...
The little monster's face, which was blank due to memories, slowly regained some of its energy due to the gentle warmth on his head.
It has seen many human beings leave.
But just humans that don’t matter…just humans that have nothing to do with it…
It never cared.
Except for watching it for a while out of curiosity when I first saw it.
He soon left because he was not interested.
Compared to monsters, there are many new lives for humans, and there are also many deaths for humans.
It has seen humans who are waiting for food, and it has also seen humans who are aging.
It knows this is human.
But......
He is different.
His departure made him dissatisfied with the fragile and short life of human beings for the first time.
only......
So what if I'm dissatisfied?
Even if it is a monster, even if its life is endless...
It also has no control over death.
...
When he woke up again, the little monster felt as if he had slept for a long time.
I subconsciously wanted to stretch my body, but was hindered.
The sounds coming from outside were also unfamiliar.
His brother...isn't here either?
The little monster lowered his eyes.
"Tweet~"
It's the sound of birds.
Crisp and sweet.
Infused with the smell of sunshine and leaves.
The little monster's eyes lit up with a faint light.
It... wants to get out.
...
But......
It can't get out.
He's gone...
Can it still get out?
...
The little monster was extremely depressed.
Does it have to stay in this jade ball forever?
...
Just when it becomes more and more depressed and pessimistic...
It's out?!
The bright skylight almost blinded its eyes.
It was stunned.
Until this human asks it-
"You like staying in Yuli?"
...
It was picked up by this human being.
Finally leaving the jade ball, it felt a little dazed.
...
"You don't seem to be wary of me at all?"
...
It was startled.
...
"I mean, you don't seem to be afraid of me?"
...
It knows that the other party has misunderstood it.
It understands what the other person means.
It just doesn't understand why it should be wary of him?
He is different from the human who forced him to hide.
It felt no malice from the other party.
Moreover, its gaze swept over the opponent's shoulder.
monster......
...
Seeing them, it thought of itself...and the boy who was long gone.
...
It happened that the other party asked it this question.
It recounts the past in a eloquent way.
That was a very pleasant memory.
It likes it very much.
Even if it thought that such days would be longer...
...
etc!
It suddenly discovered something was wrong.
Not only can this human being see it, but he can also understand its words?!
It's eyes widened in surprise.
"Baaa~?!"
Do you understand me?!
...
What a slow-responsive monster.
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yeah."
Maybe it's because he just came out of the jade ball.
...
"Mea~"
The little monster opened his mouth wide.
Humans can understand its words...
Did it stay in the jade ball for too long?
I always feel like this time I came out, the world is a little different.
It shook its head.
The sun fell on it through the window, and it squinted its eyes.
The sunshine... is really warm.
Very comfortable.
...
It straightened its body.
The wings tremble slightly.
The iron-gray feathers glowed with a bit of sharp light.
It seemed that in the next second, this little monster would rise into the sky.
...
"Pah~"
The little monster fell face down on the table.
The wings drooped behind him.
Xiao Xiao:......
He helped the little monster up in a funny way.
"Are you okay?"
...
The little monster covered his face.
shameful.
It shook its head.
Show that you are okay.
The wings behind him began to flutter again.
...
"Pah~"
"Pah~"
"Pah~"
...
The little monster fell down many times.
There was confusion and a little panic on his face.
...
"It's fine."
The sound in his ears made him look up subconsciously.
...
Xiao Xiao gently touched the little monster's head.
