"no."

The boy shook his head.

.....

really.

but……

"Do you have friends outside of school?"

Grandma was surprised.

"How did you meet?"

She knew her grandson's personality.

Very introverted and shy.

So, it was hard for her to imagine that this child actually made friends outside her class or even outside of school.

...

“There was a spring outing in elementary school.”

Thinking of that spring outing, the little boy couldn't help but smile.

That was one of his few pleasant memories.

...

"oh."

Grandma nodded.

Then a little regret appeared on his face.

"But there is nothing to do."

"You don't have someone else's contact information..."

...

The little boy slowly pursed his lips.

yes.

There is no way...

...

"fine."

Grandma comforts her grandson.

"If you are destined to be together, you will meet again later."

...

"Really?"

The little boy's voice was so soft that he was almost talking to himself.

But the magical thing is that grandma heard it.

Grandma nodded.

"Of course it's true."

"When will grandma miss what she said?"

"Don't be too sorry."

“Just let it go.”

...

"……Um."

The little boy nodded slightly.

It’s not that he really believes that he will meet a mushroom-headed boy in the future.

This period of suffering made him very uncertain.

But he didn't need to refute his grandma.

What did grandma say?

What should he do?

...

"alright."

Grandma smiled.

"End homework quickly and rest."

"I'll get up early to go to school tomorrow."

...

"Um."

The little boy nodded.

...

After grandma left, the little boy was stunned for a long time.

Now, he has to accept a fact...

He probably won't see his elder sister or a mushroom-headed boy again in the future.

He was actually very confused.

The little boy pursed his lips hard.

He doesn't understand...

It was obvious that everything was normal when we met last time.

It's the same when we part.

He thought it was just like the end of countless meetings before...

They will naturally meet next time.

But not.

The little boy reached out and knocked his head.

He lowered his eyes and saw the homework book spread out on the table.

His heart was shocked.

...

The little boy barely suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart.

Now for him, the most important thing is to finish his homework.

He didn't want his grandfather or grandma to find that the lights in his room were still on when she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

...

That night, the little boy had a dream.

When he woke up the next day, he sat on the bed with a loss.

In fact, he can't remember exactly what he dreamed of.

He just remembers...

He met his elder sister...and the mushroom-headed boy...

...

They are as usual.

He sat on the swing.

The eldest sister sat on the swing next to her.

He looked at him with his head tilted.

Smiling with a gentle face.

Just after he finished speaking, he turned around and found that his elder sister was missing.

Only the empty swing is left.
