Only the red eyes are exposed.

…

The grave ghost rubbed his ears.

It was finally quiet.

It floated to the tombstone and looked at the girl with his chin on his hand.

The girl put down her hand and stared blankly at the photo on the tombstone.

The woman's gentle smile made her eyes feel hot again.

She sniffed.

"Mother……"

…

For the next time, the girl stared at the photo on the tombstone in a daze.

The grave ghost stared at the girl in a daze.

It's a little confusing.

Why is the girl so quiet all of a sudden?

It was obviously so noisy before...

I cried so hard and said a lot of words...

Oh, the tomb ghost suddenly understood.

Are you tired?

Human beings are fragile.

However, the tomb ghost was a little frightened, and it was too much of a headache for such a fragile human being to cry.

Compared to crying humans, it still finds smiling humans more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps it has seen too many crying humans, so it likes the rare smile even more.

…

"Apiao, I'm going home."

The girl raised her eyes and looked at the tomb ghost on the tombstone.

There were tears stains on her little face.

It makes the child look a bit pitiful and embarrassed.

"Apiao, goodbye."

The girl turned around and walked down the mountain one step at a time.

The grave ghost stared at the girl's back for a while, then silently followed her.

Until the girl came out of the mountain.

The Tomb Ghost stopped at the entrance of the mountain, watched the girl's figure disappear at the end of the road, and then turned back to the mountain.

…

The tomb ghost stopped in front of the woman's tombstone for a while, and then drifted away.

It saw the tomb sweeper and heard many different things.

Especially, the girl can see it.

Ah Piao?

It looked down at itself and couldn't help but grin.

It was in a good mood after talking to humans for the first time in a long time.

It would be better if that human could cry less.

…

The grave ghost shuttled between the trees, causing the branches and leaves to sway, and every bird was frightened by the sudden movement and fluttered its wings and fled in panic.

"Kekeke~"

The grave ghost smiled so big that his one eye narrowed into a slit.

Huh?

The tomb ghost's eyes lit up.

It saw a squirrel.

Just as it was about to pass, he stopped because of something in his heart.

Listening carefully, the tomb ghost's ears twitched slightly.

"...Apiao..."

This voice, this title...

It's that girl.

The grave ghost quickly remembered the owner of the voice.

Is she here again?

The tomb ghost was a little surprised.

…

Another seven days passed, and the tomb ghost always returned to that cemetery intentionally or unintentionally, but did not wait for the girl.

It thought that it would probably be next autumn before it saw the girl again.

Just like many other grave sweepers.

After coming once, meeting again is like a cycle of seasons.

…

The tomb ghost followed the sound and drifted over.

"Apiao!"

The girl shouted in surprise, "I thought you were gone."

"Hey, Ah Piao, why do you appear during the day?"

"Same last time."

Before the tomb ghost could roll his eyes, the girl had already answered her own question, "Oh, Piao, you are not a ghost."

"I almost forgot."

Grave Ghost:......

…

"Apiao, look."
