The kid wasn't even fat...
How could he eat so much?
It was astonishing.
The old woman was quite shocked.
Even if he could eat...
He ate way too much.
She had so many dates...
What if an adult came in next time?
"Okay."
He climbed down from the bed.
Taotie...
"Have the police contact his parents."
How could that be?!
Sometimes people's memories really were inexplicable.
Wasn't there such a creature?
How could he have forgotten that he'd let himself take the blame?
"I don't know."
"That really is amazing."
Although the actual situation hadn't been like that, in the homeowner's eyes...
I opened my computer and searched for the pitch-black creature I'd seen in the old woman's yard that day...
If an adult with bad intentions saw the yard gate left open and grew greedy...
In all my years, with more than half my life already behind me, I'd never again faced a moment that left me more flustered and helpless, my mind blank and words caught in my throat...
The kid immediately behaved himself.
I was shocked.
Back then, I'd made a deal with Grandma: I wouldn't skip tutoring or extracurricular classes, and I'd do my homework properly, among other things...
"Isn't that a really interesting story?"
I figured the sunlight had been too bright and I'd been too panicked, so I must have seen things...
The girls looked curious. "Boss, what exactly was that white creature you saw eating dates that day?"
The two girls shook their heads.
But...
Grandma had been specifically asked by Mom and Dad to come watch over me.
Still, that showed just how panicked I'd been at the time.
They really wanted to know what kind of creature liked eating dates so
