Later, the little monster finally heard the sound again.

The joyful mood did not rise but became more and more depressed.

It's not a man's voice.

The unfamiliar voice made it a little uneasy.

At that time, it did not expect that the owner of that strange voice would stay with it for a long time.

...

It's still in the jade.

You can hear the sound, but you can't see the face of the owner of the sound.

It misses the sunshine a little bit.

It feels warm on the body...

The blue sky is beautiful...

The white clouds are fluffy, and the man said they look very similar.

It doesn't know what it is.

The man bought it specially for him to eat.

Soft and sticky.

sweet.

It accidentally got covered in it, and the man helped it clean it up for a long time.

Later, I gave it small pieces to eat.

Same taste.

But it prefers the fluffy kind.

I like the way the man frowns to keep it still and cleans it carefully.

The man said to him, "You've already turned into an idiot, and you're still smiling so happily."

It smiled even more happily.

It likes.

...

It missed him.

The smile on his face dimmed because of the memories.

More than anything else, it wanted to hear his voice.

Want to see him most.

Why hasn't he come yet?

Has the human that made it uneasy left yet?

Is he... going to be okay?

...

After a long time, it accidentally got the answer from the voice it gradually became familiar with.

He...is no longer here.

At first, it didn't quite understand what it meant to be gone.

But his brother...

Yes.

It already knew that the person who had been talking to Yuqiu during this period was his younger brother.

His brother said a lot.

Why did my brother care about a jade ball in the end?

He said that his brother must tell him what the jade ball is for?

He expressed his confusion and confusion.

Said he... missed his brother...

...

It took a long time to understand and accept this fact.

It has nothing to do in the jade ball.

All day long...day or night...

All it thinks about is him.

Listen to what his brother said about him.

...

Gradually, his brother stopped talking to it for a long time.

It can't hear anything about him either.

Its world is quiet.

There was no sound of wind, no sound of rain, and no sound of his voice.

Its body shrank into a ball.

The wings are folded in front of the body.

It slowly closed its eyes.

A sudden sleepiness overtook his mind.

It's going to sleep.

...

"That's good."

Xiao Xiao gently touched the little monster's head.

There was no misunderstanding between the man and the monster from beginning to end.

They have always valued each other.

If the little monster had been in the jade ball for so many years with resentment towards the human being who still cared about it until the last moment...

For this pair of friends, it really feels a bit cruel.

...

The little monster's face, which was blank due to memories, slowly regained some of its energy due to the gentle warmth on his head.

It has seen many human beings leave.

But just humans that don’t matter…just humans that have nothing to do with it…

It never cared.

Except for watching it for a while out of curiosity when I first saw it.

He soon left because he was not interested.

Compared to monsters, there are many new lives for humans, and there are also many deaths for humans.

It has seen humans who are waiting for food, and it has also seen humans who are aging.

It knows this is human.

But......

He is different.

His departure made him dissatisfied with the fragile and short life of human beings for the first time.

only......

So what if I'm dissatisfied?

Even if it is a monster, even if its life is endless...

It also has no control over death.

...

When he woke up again, the little monster felt as if he had slept for a long time.

I subconsciously wanted to stretch my body, but was hindered.

The sounds coming from outside were also unfamiliar.
