Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5823 Not Dumb
The difficulty level is also quite high.

……

When the child first saw the black and white goldfish, he thought it was very special.

This color scheme reminds children of pandas.

Compared to the two small goldfish that were caught later...
This black and white goldfish looks a little dull.

The colors aren't as bright and shiny...

It doesn't have a large size either...

Three little goldfish together...

The other two goldfish are definitely more eye-catching.

……

"This little black and white goldfish looks like a panda..."

The child grinned.

"Isn't it cute?"

Small and chubby.

Compared to the other two goldfish, this black and white goldfish looks rather endearing.

……

The child also likes it very much.

The children loved the three little goldfish.

but……

The child looked at the uncle.

I have a little goldfish to give to my uncle.

This was a decision she had made from the beginning.

She has worked so hard for this decision.

otherwise……

Just for her own words...

She gave up long ago.

……

She couldn't bring herself to keep coming to the old man's grocery store just to catch goldfish.

Even though the old man said she was welcome...

She also felt embarrassed.

The repeated failures made her feel that she had wasted the fishing net the old man had given her.

She felt embarrassed to even look at the old man.

……

But because she was thinking of giving a thank-you gift to the uncle who saved her...

The child persevered.

at last……

Today, she was incredibly lucky to meet Superman.

Superman is a really nice guy.

Even if she behaves badly.

He listened to her request and followed her to the general store.

then……

The child's face lit up with a big smile.

Superman didn't waste a single fishing net.

They scooped up three small goldfish for her.

……

The child was so happy.

……

Although her uncle's reaction hurt her feelings.

But the child had grown accustomed to his uncle's indifference.

It's already a rare treat that her uncle can look after her at this time.

……

"Which goldfish does Uncle like?"

The child asked the uncle.

Even though I was reluctant to part with it, I had decided from the beginning to give it to my uncle.

She also told her uncle.

She can't go back on her word.

……

"……uncle?"

The child tilted his head.

With Superman behind him, the child felt very secure.

The child felt no fear.

She looked up at her uncle.

"uncle!?"

An idea flashed into the child's mind.

She thought of a possibility.

She suddenly realized…
From the time she first met her uncle until today, they have met so many times...

She never heard her uncle's voice.

uncle……

"Can't you speak!?"

The child blurted out his guess.

....
The old man was taken aback.

No, can't speak?
But soon, the old man came to a realization.

The advantage of a child's imagination lies in its boundless creativity.

However, age is a limiting factor...
Many things cannot be explained in a self-consistent way.

The child's imagined uncle...

already……

From one perspective, that's quite impressive.

I won't always give in to my child.

I will refuse.

They can't speak.

……

My uncle can't speak...

The old man seemed to be deep in thought.

It's already surprising that the child didn't give himself a free pass all the way...

did not expect……

She even made things more difficult for herself.

……

He is unresponsive, cannot speak, is tall, and has a rather fierce appearance...

These are all pieces of information about the uncle extracted from the child's words.

The old man had a strange face.

Generally speaking…

Children's fantasies, especially little girls' fantasies...

It's basically inseparable from the word "dream".

I like pretty and cute things.

I like elves, small animals, fairies...

They are all beautiful and bright images.

But this child... came up with the idea of ​​an uncle.

This uncle is quite a character.

I don't like to talk to people.

Even if that person is a child.

It is the person who creates themselves.

……

The old man was surprised to hear the child's guess.

child……

Are we going to change Uncle's settings on the spot?

Unable to speak...

The old man frowned.

This kid...

Imagine what your uncle's purpose is...

For what?
……

Xiao Xiao was also somewhat surprised by the child's surprising words.

Unable to speak...

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

……

The child opened his eyes wide.

She thought she had guessed correctly.

after all……

My uncle is disabled.

My uncle is missing a leg.

My uncle can't speak...

It doesn't seem like anything too surprising.

……

The child bit his lower lip in frustration.

She knew her uncle was disabled all along, why didn't she pay more attention...?

She should have realized sooner that her uncle couldn't speak...

……

"sorry."

The child lowered his eyes and apologized.

Their hands were unconsciously twisted together.

She knew nothing…..
Why is that weird uncle ignoring her...?

She's so mean.

The child was consumed by deep guilt.

……

The old man opened his eyes wide.

what……

The old man was somewhat bewildered.

Watching the child apologize so sincerely to empty air...

To be honest, he got goosebumps all over his body.

He opened his mouth wide.

No sound was made.

……

The old man quickly realized why the child had suddenly apologized...

After all, the child himself said it before...

My uncle can't speak.

So the child apologized for some of his previous behavior when he was unaware of the situation...

This makes perfect sense.

in case……

If there really is someone across from the child who needs to apologize...

……

The old man swallowed hard.

It seems like they're trying to swallow all the discomfort in their hearts.

……

This child...

The old man licked his dry lips.

The problem seems to be more serious than he thought.

……

The more logical a person's fantasy is, the more serious their problem becomes.

Because they have their own complete set of logic.

It cannot be destroyed by a few words from others.

……

The more rigorous this logic is...

Others want to make the person in the fantasy realize that they are having a fantasy...

The more difficult it is, the harder it becomes.

……

This kid...

The old man clenched his fists.

How can someone so young...

His fantasy has become somewhat "terminally ill"...

……

The old man was very upset.

After all, they are a rare child with whom I have a special connection...

He did it for his child...

I also did a lot of things within my power.

Despite being someone who dislikes trouble and prefers quiet, I allowed my child to frequently appear at the grocery store...

……

"Little Mango".

Xiao Xiao squatted down and got closer to the child.

"Uncle just doesn't like to talk."

"He's not incapable of speaking."

……

what?
The child, filled with guilt, looked up blankly.

what?
She turned her head to look at her Superman brother.

"uncle……"

The child, slowly realizing what Superman had said, widened his eyes in surprise.

"He's not mute?!"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

“It can talk.”

"You did nothing wrong."

"There's no need to feel sorry."
