There was no hint of perfunctory or joking in his serious tone.

Because, he met it.

So, as long as you believe, this child might really meet an elf one day, right?

"Um!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, clenched her fists tightly, and her baby-fat face was filled with an expectant smile, "I will always be a good child!"

"So, the elf should come quickly."

…

The boy on the right muttered something under his breath.

The boy on the left glanced at him warningly.

Grandpa is playing with his sister.

Besides, children are the age to believe in fairy tales.

When you grow up, you realize that fairy tales are just fairy tales.

What do you tell her to do now?

…

The wind blowing on his face awakened the old man's absent-mindedness.

The old man's somewhat distracted eyes regained focus.

The figure of the other party's big tree was reflected in his eyes.

On the big tree, he saw the fruit he had been eating all this time.

There seemed to be a sour and sweet taste in his mouth again.

He couldn't help but laugh.

...

The old man opened his mouth.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Until now, after he recovered, he had no idea who the good Samaritan was.

Maybe, the other party is really a magical and kind elf?

"...Are you an elf?"

The old man murmured unconsciously.

…

"Huh~"

"Wow, wow, wow~"

The sound of wind and the swaying of branches and leaves could be clearly heard.

There were also faint sounds of conversation downstairs.

Car horns honked further away.

Apart from these ordinary sounds, the old man heard no answer.

The old man lowered his eyes and smiled.

really......

Still not showing up?

…

The little monster was lying on the branch looking at the old man standing in front of the window.

Elf?

There was a bit of confusion and confusion on the little monster's face.

what is that?

It's not an elf.

It's a monster.

"Gugu~Gugu~"

…

The old man raised his eyes and looked at the big tree in front of him again.

"...I wonder if you are here now? Can you hear what I say..."

You should be able to hear it, right?

Heard it all before.

The old man thought of the little purple flower.

"Thank you."

The old man's eyebrows relaxed and his face looked a little rosy, "Thank you very much."

"Because of you and the gifts you gave me, I recovered so well."

"Thank you... for always sending me gifts."

"The fruit is delicious."

"The little flowers are very beautiful... I asked you to find purple flowers specifically for the old man..."

"The feathers are beautiful too."

"I wonder what kind of bird feathers they are?"

"By the way, why did you think of sending me flyers?"

Thinking of that flyer, the old man couldn't help laughing.

"Does it have any special meaning?"

"...I didn't mean not to like it."

“The flyers are interesting.”

"Let me go to that store to eat some day."

"Want to go eat together?"

…

"..."

…

The old man smiled and said, "Then I will tell you what I think after eating it."

"After all, this is the store you recommended to me."

"I will definitely go there to eat and watch."

How long has it been since he went to a restaurant to eat?
