Grandma Tian widened her eyes and looked at Child's Mom and Child's Dad. "They..."
"Maybe they'll be eaten by monsters!"
"!?"
Even Child's Mom and Child's Dad were startled.
Their hearts seemed to stop for a moment.
A chill crawled up their spines.
They opened their mouths...
Speechless.
Yesterday, it had been too late, and she'd sneaked out on her own. She hadn't been able to spend much time with Little White.
Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma... and all the older friends she got along so well with...
"Come have breakfast."
"Is that it?"
Child's Mom glanced at the little white dog.
Then she heard the dog bark.
She'd also met Grandma.
Grandma Tian shook her head slightly.
"Grandma."
"What era are we living in?"
"Monsters?"
At least, she couldn't do it right now.
She'd thought she could come out.
"Come here."
"Lele."
Why?
She turned to look down at the child sitting by the pool.
That's good, then.
Better to suffer a loss now than later.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
"That's enough!"
"But they're all treating you badly..."
Mom... and Dad, too...
She started running.
"Woof!"
"For example..."
She didn't know.
Child's Mom's expression softened a little.
Child's Mom and Child's Dad were startled again.
She'd been with the big white dog the whole time.
Child's Mom couldn't take it anymore.
But she knew that Dad and Mom had to go to work, and she had to go to school.
Her expression was terrible.
"...M-Mom?"
"Thank you for saving me last night."
The child couldn't bear to part with Grandma.
She wondered if Big White had really understood their promise last night.
Child's Mom furrowed her brows.
She obediently followed behind her parents.
