At that time, he had not realized how much he cared about his achievements with the indifference of those two people towards him?

He actually doesn't need to be so scared...

Fear of letting them down.

Fear of getting their blame.

Because they will not be disappointed at all.

I won't blame him for this.

...

The little figure hugged on the swing.

Lower your head.

Something shining fell down.

...

"What’s wrong with you?"

A gentle voice came.

"Why did you cry?"

...

The small figure was startled.

My whole body was frozen.

...

He slowly turned back.

I saw a face that smiled softly at him.

Especially against the setting sun behind, the woman in a beige sweater and cardigan seemed to melt it.

...

The little boy was stunned.

Tears were still hanging in the corners of red eyes.

...

The woman reached out and gently touched the little boy's head.

"Why did you cry?"

She asked again.

...

"I failed the exam."

The little boy blurted out.

After the words came, the little boy looked annoyed.

Why did he say that?

Why did he say such a shameful thing?

The little boy squeezed his hands tightly.

I wish I could go back in time.

Go back to the second before he said this.

...

The woman bent her eyebrows slightly.

"It's just a failure in the exam, it doesn't matter."

"You have many opportunities to do well in the exam in the future."

...

"But the test papers need to be signed by the parents."

The little boy is naughty.

Fingers stir together.

It's almost twisted.

"I'm afraid my parents will get angry..."

...

"As long as you promise your parents that you will work hard to get the exam next time, I want to..."

The woman clasped her fists and made a cheering position.

"They will forgive you."

...

"Really, really?"

The little boy couldn't believe it.

Is it that simple?

As long as he assures his parents...

Wouldn't they be angry...?

...

"Really, really?"

The little boy confirmed again.

A dim light lit up in his eyes.

If so...

Next time, he will definitely do well in the exam next time!

...

"Um."

The woman nodded.

"Yes."

"I believe that my parents are more willing to hear you promise to study hard and get good grades next time than blame you for being worse than you for taking the exam."

...

“Yes, is that?”

The little boy asked stumbledly.

But I actually believed it almost.

What the eldest sister said must be right.

Big sister is so good...

So beautiful, so gentle...

The little boy likes the big sister very much.

...

"Yes."

The woman reached out and touched the little boy's head again.

"Go back quickly."

"It's going to be dark."

...

"ah!?"

Only then did the little boy who noticed that there was only a trace of sunlight remaining in the sky suddenly became anxious.

He hurriedly jumped off the swing.

"Um!"

The little boy nodded vigorously.

"Big sister..."
