The boy didn't seem surprised that the gray-haired girl would wonder about this question.
"Because you took my test paper."
The boy said frankly.
"I failed that test paper."
"If possible, I don't want anyone to see-"
"Why?"
The gray-haired girl tilted her head and looked at the boy.
boy:……
He looked at the gray-haired girl with a somewhat strange expression.
this problem……
Is she serious?
…
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Although the gray-haired girl asked this question, she and the boy looked at each other without any evasion.
The boy was a little impressed by his confident attitude.
How on earth did this guy do it...
Obviously asking such an obvious question, it can even be said to be an idiot...
Can you still act like you have made some important discovery?
…
"I'm just a little surprised that you asked this question."
The gray-haired girl's direct influence on the boy.
What the boy said gradually became more straightforward.
after all……
He was worried that the gray-haired girl wouldn't be able to understand him if he put it more politely.
…
"Why?"
The girl with gray hair looks like a child who has just entered the world and knows nothing.
Ask your doubts frankly.
…
The boy looked at the gray-haired girl intently.
The other party's clear eyes made him slightly distracted.
He shook his head mentally.
"...I thought everyone would know the answer."
Logically speaking, this should indeed be the case.
After all, everyone has a sense of shame.
"Failing in an exam is not something worth publicizing everywhere."
The boy sighed helplessly and began to provide the gray-haired girl with the most basic knowledge.
This was not the first time he had experienced a similar experience.
This girl... has a peculiar hair color, and can play nice tunes with maple leaves. In addition to these...
There is something special about girls...
It is her lack of knowledge about some very simple and basic issues.
He even doubted that this girl usually lived in a closed environment?
No contact with outsiders.
So I don’t understand some of the most common human ways...
"Others might laugh at you for it."
"So I don't want others to see my test paper."
…
"I won't laugh at you."
…
The boy looked startled.
This is a very touching sentence, but the girl with gray hair said it in a plain tone of "Have you eaten today?"
It seemed like this was a normal thing for her.
There is no need to add any additional emotions or embellishments to this.
…
The boy pursed his lips.
He reached out and rubbed his forehead.
he thinks……
You don't have to think too much about it.
It’s hard for others to tell.
But as for the gray-haired girl...
This sentence should have a purely literal meaning.
It doesn't have a deeper and more touching meaning.
But……
Even though he told himself this, the boy was still a little touched.
He turned his eyes uncomfortably.
He changed the topic a little stiffly.
…
"in addition……"
"You just took my test paper away without my consent..."
This behavior of the gray-haired girl that day was the original reason that made him feel angry.
"You saw the score on my test paper."
"I feel so ashamed."
The boy scratched his cheek unconsciously.
"I'm so angry."
"I want to get my test paper back, but I can't get it back..."
"I was really furious at that time."
"Of course I find you particularly annoying."
…
"oh."
The gray-haired girl nodded.
The expression is calm.
It's hard to see what's going on in her heart.
…
The boy was a little anxious.
"It's just the beginning."
he emphasized.
"I won't find you annoying anymore."
"I'm very lucky that I wandered to the park and met you."
"You made me feel that I am not hated by everyone."
"Out of that environment, I also had the opportunity to meet many new friends."
"You made me realize this fact..."
…
The boy spoke urgently and quickly.
He was afraid that the gray-haired girl would misunderstand him.
He was obviously here to say thank you, but why did he make people feel angry?
…
The gray-haired girl reached out and gently tapped a maple leaf.
It seemed like he was a little distracted.
It's like listening carefully.
…
The boy didn't know if the gray-haired girl heard his explanation.
He emphasized his tone again.
"I really……"
The boy took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much."
"I also think it's really great to meet you."
…
I don’t know whether it’s the morning sunlight falling into the gray-haired girl’s eyes, or the gray-haired girl’s eyes lighting up with a glimmer of light. The gray-haired girl’s eyes are very bright.
The boy suddenly discovered something belatedly...
Why……
The gray-haired girl also has gray eyes.
…
The boy wondered that he had only realized this now.
He had clearly stared into the gray-haired girl's eyes many times before.
How come this has never been discovered?
Too strange.
Was his attention focused on the girl's gray hair?
No way...
The boy was puzzled by his own slowness.
But since he couldn't figure it out, he gave up.
It's not a big deal anyway.
Don't embarrass yourself.
…
"Although some of them didn't understand..."
The gray-haired girl tapped her fingers on the maple leaf above.
What everyone talks about...
It is a monster after all.
It's understandable that I didn't fully understand it.
However, one thing he understood.
That is……
"My presence is very important to you."
…
boy:……
He was almost used to the gray-haired girl's direct words.
But……
The boy's cheeks felt a little hot.
Even if the gray-haired girl said a question, it would sound more comfortable than words like this conclusion.
This is too confident.
Although……
"……Um."
The boy nodded.
"You're right."
"That's what I mean."
"Your presence is very important to me."
…
The gray-haired girl grinned.
Snow-white teeth shine in the sun.
"I am important."
…
"right."
The girl's generous response made the boy's shyness fade away a lot.
He smiled and nodded.
"You are very important."
…
"For the sake of telling the truth..."
The girl with gray hair shook the maple leaf in her hand.
…
The boy couldn't help but blinked.
When did the gray-haired girl pick maple leaves?
Why didn't he notice it at all?
…
"Let me play a song for you."
The gray-haired girl swayed her feet.
His body also swayed slightly.
The boy couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Especially the gray-haired girl only has one maple leaf in her hand.
And he didn't hold on to any support to stabilize his body shape.
