Is this what the gray-haired girl means?

...

"Um."

The gray-haired girl nodded casually.

"You are special."

...

He is special...

The boy rubbed his temples hard.

A sentence passed through his mind again.

"You are not a human!"

The boy blurted out.

...

"Um."

The gray-haired girl stretched.

"I'm not a human."

...

Such an amazing fact was said by the gray-haired girl in such a... uncautious tone...

A bitter smile slowly appeared on the boy's face.

"You should be serious."

"This matter..."

It's obviously amazing-

No.

Very amazing thing.

The gray-haired girl's attitude would make him feel that she was in a state of turmoil because of this matter, and there was no need for lightning and thunder.

However, because of the gray-haired girl's attitude, the boy felt that he had calmed down slowly.

...

"Who are you……"

The boy thought of the gray-haired girl's words, "Demon... Monster?"

...

"Um"

A trace of impatience appeared on the gray-haired girl's face again.

"I don't want to answer the same question anymore."

"I'm not a human."

"I'm a monster."

"Don't you understand?"

"Humans are really stupid."

...

The disliked human boy opened his mouth slightly.

Of course he could understand these two sentences.

He is not stupid.

But the problem is that it is easy to understand and difficult to accept.

Not to mention accepting, he is still trying to believe.

Although from all the situations, what the gray-haired girl said should be true...

but……

Even if he told himself like this... again and again...

He still had some doubts in his heart.

...

Monster Alas.

He is no longer a kindergarten kid.

He had long known that there were no monsters, no ghosts, no gods, no Buddhas, and no demons in the world.

This is the consensus of most human beings he knows.

Of course he also knew that some people believed in their existence.

But that is faith.

The teacher said that we should respect other people’s beliefs.

Faith is different from feudal superstition.

They want to resist feudal superstition.

...

"Gululu~"

A whistle screaming interrupted the boy's contemplation.

The boy subconsciously reached out and covered his stomach.

He... was hungry.

he:……

He found that he would not say anything about the gray-haired girl. As soon as the sound of his own belly screaming, he felt nothing.

The boy took a deep breath.

"Gululu~"

The cries of the belly rang one after another.

The boy was a little embarrassed.

He had breakfast in the morning.

He couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.

Is it already noon now?

The boy suddenly became a little anxious.

If it's noon, he's going home.

Mom is waiting for him to have dinner at home.

...

There is no prop on the boy who can see the time.

only……

He pressed his stomach hard.

Since his stomach is "complaining" to him...

Then, it should be getting late.

...

"I'm leaving."

The boy looks at the...grey-haired girl on the maple tree.

A girl who claims to be a monster...

"It's noon."

"Mom is waiting for me to have dinner at home."

If it was time for dinner and my mother didn't see him, I wonder if she would be angry?

Thinking of this, the boy became a little anxious again.
