Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5458 See you again

"Not only that day, but they have never appeared since then."

"Maybe they found a new family."

“I went to a new family every day.”

"Just like coming to your house every day before."

"Maybe……."

"They met with an accident in the mountains."

"Maybe……"

"They moved..."

“There are many possibilities.”

“The result is the same.”

"They don't appear,"

"The owner will regret it and will miss it."

"But that's all."

“The owner doesn’t know where to find them.”

“There’s no need to look for them.”

"Their appearance was an accident."

“The owner didn’t catch them either.”

"Then they are free to come and go."

The woodcutter looked at the young scholar.

"The same is true of the black monster you mentioned."

“It came up by accident.”

"Be greedy for your food."

"Now maybe it has found a better place to eat."

"Maybe it's tired of the food you offer it..."

“It went to new places.”

"Of course I won't come to you."

……

The young scholar pursed his lips.

It was then that he realized what his brother wanted to say...

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of any words to refute.

He knew in his heart...

What my brother said... makes a lot of sense.

The young scholar exhaled slowly and gently.

The depression in my heart is like a dark cloud hanging over my head, and I can't get rid of it at all.

……

"I remember……"

The woodcutter continued his efforts.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

It would be great if this matter could be resolved once and for all.

"You said you saw a black monster in that house?"

"You almost fell into the well."

"It saved you."

……

what?
The woman covered her mouth to muffle her exclamation.

The black monster also saved his brother?
It seems like this...

The black monster doesn't seem so bad...

……

The young scholar's eyes are dark.

There is no light.

……

The woodcutter showed no mercy.

"It has always appeared here before, hasn't it?"

The woodcutter pointed to the house.

"How did it appear in the capital?"

"Did he follow you?"

……

The young scholar clenched his fists.

he does not know.

It was not until the day he nearly fell into the well that he realized that the black monster had also come to the capital.

His first reaction at that time was not why was the black monster in the capital?
But the black monster came to laugh at his joke!

he is very angry.

The heavy rain not only failed to calm him down, but instead was like pouring oil on the fire.

Let the fire burn more vigorously.

……

Yes.

The black monster appeared in his study every time.

So a reasonable guess...

The black monster's home should be around here.

It is very likely in the deep mountains and forests nearby.

Such a strange beast -
The young scholar called the black monster a strange beast.

Because it is different from ordinary wild beasts.

The appearance is very special.

of course.

Maybe he has little experience.

But this name distinguishes it from other beasts.

Young scholars like it very much.

I think the black monster could be portrayed better.

Logically speaking, wild animals don't like places with a lot of people.

The same must be true for strange beasts.

After so many years...

Who has ever seen bears, tigers or wild boars come down from the mountains?
It is rare to see black monsters coming down the mountain frequently.

It is even more rare to go to a capital city so far away.

……

The black monster...

Did you really follow him to the capital?

The young scholar looked stunned. On the way to the capital, he was full of ambition, excitement, excitement, and nervousness, with a bright future in mind...

He didn't notice at all whether the black monster was following him...

……

"Whatever it is there..."

The woodcutter smiled.

“It all appeared in the capital.”

"you think……"

"Can the capital city be compared to a rural place like ours?"

"There are delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and delicious food that we can't even imagine."

"The black monster must be enjoying himself too much to leave."

"it should-"

"It will stay there for at least a long time."

The woodcutter made a conservative judgment.

"Or maybe he was attracted by something and went to a farther place."

"younger brother."

"The black monster has left."

"It has nothing to do with you anymore."

"I know you're angry that it lied to you."

"You feel fooled by it."

"But it saved you, too."

"Let's just say it's worth it, okay?"

The woodcutter looked at the young scholar with unconscious eagerness.

……

"I also know that you are particularly unwilling to accept this result."

The woodcutters all understood, "I felt that this was not my true level."

"I think it's all black monsters that gave you the wrong perception and made you slack off."

"It doesn't matter."

"This is only your first test."

"You will have many more chances later."

"If you dwell on this defeat, you won't be able to concentrate on studying hard."

"What about your next exam?"

"Don't you want to pass the imperial examination?"

……

"think."

The young scholar blurted out.

……

The woodcutter nodded.

"Then adjust your state."

“Study hard.”

"There isn't a lot of time left until the next exam."

"It's not good to sharpen your sword before the battle."

……

The young scholar's fingers were unconsciously scratching the back of his hand.

My brother said...

Makes sense.

Reason told him that he should indeed let go of the black monster.

Concentrate on your own studies.

After coming back, he couldn't concentrate on reading anything in the book because his mind was full of black monsters.

……

But emotionally...

The young scholar still wanted to see the black monster.

……

Reluctance is like a maggot attached to one's bones...

It gnawed at his heart all the time.

.....
He wanted to see the black monster.

I really want to see...

“…Just once.”

The young scholar muttered softly.

……

"what?"

The woodcutter did not hear clearly the young scholar's muttering.

"What did you say?"

……

"elder brother."

The young scholar spoke in a serious tone and with a serious look.

"I……"

The young scholar clenched his fingers.

"I want to see the black monster again."

"Just once."

The young scholar hurried to explain.

“I just want to see it one more time.”

……

"why?"

The woodcutter felt a little impatient, annoyed, and a little angry at the other person for not fighting back.

So novel.

His brother, who always made him proud, could actually make him feel this way...
"I don't know."

"younger brother."

The woodcutter laid out his thoughts to the young scholar and broke them down into pieces.

"I think we are even now."

"Whatever it did, it saved you."

"That's enough to make up for everything."

"Besides, it's not like you haven't seen it after the exam."

"You've seen it."

"You should have said everything you wanted to say about it."
