…

"OK."

The sanitation aunt looked away.

She smiled at the boy.

"Then you should pay more attention to yourself."

"I'm going to work."

The sanitation aunt slightly raised the broom in her hand.

The area she is responsible for is not just this park.

…

"Rest for a while before leaving."

"Go slower on the way back."

"Do not worry."

The sanitation aunt gave the boy a few more words of earnest advice, then waved to the boy and left.

…

Watching the figure of the sanitation aunt walking further and further away, until she disappeared from his sight...

The boy exhaled slowly.

fortunately……

Before he hit his chest with his hand, he had no idea...

This move solved his dilemma to a certain extent.

otherwise……

How was he going to explain to the sanitation aunt that there was indeed a girl in the maple tree?

She is also a girl with gray hair and gray eyes who claims to be not human.

…

The boy was fortunate that the sanitation aunt was distracted by his actions and forgot to ask about the matter.

Thinking of the subtle change in the sanitation aunt's expression just now, the boy felt uncontrollably filled with panic.

It covered his heart like a spider web.

Tighten slowly.

Threads gradually became embedded in his heart.

Every breath he took brought out a little pain.

…

"Huh~"

The boy pressed his chest hard.

He slowly and laboriously exhaled a breath.

He wanted to look at the maple tree.

But as if he remembered something, he turned his head and looked around.

…

nobody.

Only him.

…

The boy finally looked at the girl with gray hair.

"you……"

"Just now……"

"she……"

The boy pursed his lips in annoyance.

He feels very strange now.

I can't describe the specific feeling.

It is a feeling similar to floating in mid-air, with no anchor and no support.

Somewhat flustered.

There was also some suffocation.

…

The boy took several deep breaths in succession.

He reached out and pinched the flesh on the back of his hand.

The sudden pain temporarily made his thoughts smoother.

"you……"

"..."

The boy tried to adjust his emotions.

Don't be impatient.

Speak slowly.

He calmed down his anger soothingly.

…

"She... that aunt..."

The boy weighed his words carefully and carefully.

"Just now...why didn't she see you?"

As the words continued, the boy's voice became softer and softer.

He doesn't even know what he is worried about?

…

"She can't see me."

The gray-haired girl answered lightly.

…

After waiting for a while, the boy found that there was nothing more to say and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Why?"

"Why can't she see you?"

"you……"

Isn't it right here?

It's right in front of you.

Why can't I see it?

The boy really didn't understand.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...

He could clearly see the performance of the sanitation aunt just now...

They are all real reactions.

He could not find a more reasonable reason to explain the sanitation aunt's behavior.

only this……

The most incredible reason.

…

"She just can't see me."

The gray-haired girl was a little impatient.

"What's the reason for this?"
