"Crow."

The boy happily greeted the gray-haired girl.

He thought the crow would be a little surprised to see him.

Will he ask why he came at this time?

He had the answers ready.

As a result, Raven asked him nothing.

In the end, he couldn't help but want to talk to him and took the initiative to explain the situation to the crow.

...

Crow's reaction was very simple.

Even a little cold.

Just one word.

"oh,"

...

boy:……

But I soon felt like this was a crow.

He grinned.

...

That day was a day in spring.

It gradually became late as it was dark.

He didn't realize this at first, but then he looked at the watch later and was surprised to find that it was much later than he thought.

He suddenly became a little anxious.

Although my mother probably didn't come back so early...

If my mother comes back...I see that he hasn't come home...or that she hasn't eaten supper yet...

Will be angry.

...

"Crow, I'm going home."

The boy said goodbye to the girl.

“It’s already late.”

Why?

The boy was stunned.

He suddenly thought...

"Crow, why didn't you urge me to go home today?"

Every time the time was almost over, Crow would "rush" him home.

This time I found out that it was already very late.

...

The crow shook the "swing"-

The boy turned his head.

He is also on the "swing".

He fell in love with swings a little.

...

"Now the genius is dark."

The crow said it with confidence.

...

boy:……

"Puff~"

He laughed out loud.

"Yes, the genius is dark now."

They all forgot that it is not winter anymore.

...

The boy raised his head.

There is no star in the dark night.

Only a crescent moon shines with a hazy light.

It illuminated the surrounding sky slightly.

...

The boy leaned back a little bit again.

Layered maple leaves and vertical branches come into view.

The green leaves almost blend into the night.

“…I can’t see it…”

The boy murmured.

...

"What?"

The crow asked casually.

...

The boy's eyes wide open.

“The green leaves can’t be seen at night-”

See you...

The boy forgot what he would say next.

His pupils contracted violently.

It was quickly dumbfounded again.

...

Maple leaves...

The green maple leaves... have turned red?!

The boy thought he was confused.

He subconsciously wanted to get closer to the maple tree.

He stretched out his hand-

"Ah~!"

The boy screamed.

He forgot to sit on the "swing" on a high place. He was originally leaning back. Once his hand was released, he lost his center of gravity.

He just felt a dizzy moment-

He didn't even have time to close his eyes.

...

Um?

The world in front of you is stable again?

The boy soon discovered something was wrong.

Then, he felt the support on his back.

He turned his head.

“…Crow?”
