The little girl shivered all over.
It seemed the man's sudden voice had startled her.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man was surprised by how startled the little girl had been.
Had she been so focused on her thoughts?
Was that why she'd been so badly startled when he spoke out of nowhere?
"Have you decided to accept my condition?"
The man asked with a smile.
This child...
At that, disappointment showed in Big Boy's eyes and brows, breaking through the dreamy expression on his face.
Big Boy wasn't quite so innocent and carefree.
"Ah..."
I'm a little annoyed.
Big Boy's uncle smiled wryly.
"A secret?"
Lost in her memories, Big Boy's dark, round eyes grew hazy and unfocused again.
She was adorable, too.
Big Boy's uncle nodded.
Besides, the child had seen it with her own eyes.
"Mom and Dad will bring you back another time."
How could they not understand, and still go along with the child?
She smiled brightly.
"We'll go to the general store together to see the night-blooming cereus."
But everyone more or less understood what the child meant.
"All right."
"Oh."
It was like whenever I watched the children play house. They got completely absorbed in their roles, playing them with such seriousness.
"So pretty~"
This time...
The man took a deep breath.
"I want to see it, too..."
But her lips didn't part, and her voice came out muffled.
"That child was lucky to meet you..."
"Mm."
The man covered his forehead with a hand.
What condition?
She nodded earnestly.
Even through a screen, the beauty had swept over all your senses with a sharp, direct impact.
But the little girl still shook her head with considerable difficulty.
They would meet again, wouldn't they?
