Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5831 Third Meeting
"But you still hit him, didn't you?"

"You definitely didn't hold back."

"No……"

"…..possible……"

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

"I'll buy you a popsicle."

"...You little brat, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"It's a staged accident."

"No."

"Popcorn, popsicle."

"Dad has to keep his word."

"Since you promised him, then buy it for him."

"You brat, were you faking it just now?"

"is not it?"

"Popeye~ Popeye~"

"You brat, answer my question."

"Popeye~ Popeye~"

"You brat, all you ever think about is popsicles."

"okay."

"Don't swing that big stick around recklessly next time."

"very dangerous."

"It's dangerous whether you get hit or you hit someone else."

"Do you understand?"

"understood."

"I will never use a stick again."

"It will attract terrible monsters."

"what?"

"nothing."

"Popeye~ Popeye~"

……

After that, he encountered that child twice more.

Once, the child was with several other children.

They seem to be playing some kind of game.
The little boy stood tall all by himself.

He was holding a tree branch in his hand.

Stand tall and proud.

He looked very proud.

The other children below raised their hands and made noises like "woo-woo-ah-ah".

……

It was somewhat curious.

What is this doing?
……

then……

The unexpected event also surprised the wasteful expenditure.

It wasn't actually meant to scare children.

After all, the matter was settled last time.

If it weren't for this child's particularly...
This is the first time it has encountered a child who wants to hit it.

It might not even recognize the child when they meet again.

……

The child clearly recognized it too.
Uh.

not always.

No.

Judging from the last time the child dared to hit it with a stick... this time he was so scared that he dropped it on the ground...

The child recognized it.

……

Looking at the child lying on the ground, baring his teeth and grimacing -
Fortunately, it didn't fall from a high place.

The child was at least not bleeding.

……

That should be fine.

Xuhao nodded.

……

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the child's companions screamed and surrounded him.

Surround the child.

……

Xuhao shook his head.

Turn around and leave.

The last sound it heard was a child's exasperated cry: "Help me up!"

……

Look.

It turned out that everything was fine.

……

This is the third time I've seen the child...

It never imagined it would see the child a third time.

I never expected that it would still remember that child.

It recognized the child at a glance.

Even though, as time went by, the child was no longer quite the same as it remembered.

The child has grown a lot taller.

My hair has grown a bit.

My skin has also become a bit whiter.

In short, the child has changed a lot.

Xuhao was somewhat surprised that she felt this child, who was quite different from what she remembered, was the same child.

why?
But wasteful trust in one's own feelings.

……

Soon, the waste was discovered...

The child changed not only in appearance...

There are others.

……

It stands in front of the child's line of sight.

But in a child's eyes...

without it.

……

Xuhao paused for a second.

It squinted and examined the child.

It moved its body.

……

Ok.

The child indeed couldn't see it anymore.

……

Suddenly, Xu Hao began to doubt his initial judgment.

Is this really that child?
It looks different...

It's still not visible...

……

However, the waste quickly accepted the fact. It's very common.

Humans cannot always see it.

Tsk.

He curled his lip in disapproval.

Human beings...

It shook its head.

……

Xu Huo no longer looked at that child.

It turned and left.

……

This child...

It was one of the few humans who left an impression on it.

After all, it was only three meetings...

All of these left a deep impression on the monster.

……

The first time, the child grabbed a stick and was about to hit it... and even revealed its true identity.

The second time, the child was so frightened by it that he fell from a height.

His panicked appearance was completely different from his arrogant and domineering demeanor the first time.

the third time……

The children have grown up and lost much of their childhood appearance...

It's no longer visible.

……

A heart filled with despair is like a calm lake with a slight ripple.

Soon, things returned to normal.

……

This is how the interaction between monsters and humans occurs.

short.

……

After that, Xuhao never saw that child again.

……

Then we encounter some special children...

It's a small mango.

……

Unlike the arrogant little boy who became timid after being frightened by it, Little Mango has been timid from beginning to end.

Basically, nothing has changed.

But this timid child...

Her actions, however, were quite audacious.

……

And, surprisingly, that child actually kept his word...

Xuhao stretched out his hand.

On the outstretched palm...

……

Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised, "Little Mango gave you a goldfish?"

This guy actually just grabbed it and came out like that?

Xiao Xiao carefully examined the little goldfish's appearance.

He was barely clinging to life.

This is also why this little goldfish has a long life.

Fortunately, there is a river right next to it.

"Put it in the river."

Xiao Xiao reminded him of the wasted resources.

……

why?
Xu Hao looked at the little goldfish in his palm.

Then he looked at Xiao Xiao with some confusion.

……

why?
Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear such an obvious question.

"It's a fish."

"They need water to survive."

"If you hold it like that without giving it water, it will die."

……

Oh.

Xu Huo's expression remained indifferent.

……

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

This guy……

"This is a gift from Little Mango to you."

"It took a lot of effort..."

This is only the first day.
No.

Not even a day has passed.

This guy……

Is this how you treat the gift Little Mango gave it?

……

Ok.

His expression changed slightly.

It received a gift from a human child.

This gift allowed the child to witness firsthand how much effort they had put in to earn it...

……

It was surprising.

Having witnessed too many of its child's failures, it assumed it was not destined to receive this gift.

This is the first time I've seen a human child go to such lengths for a gift they're giving it...
It felt somewhat peculiar.

This guy……

They really won't give up.

……

It's pointless to waste the already limited time on such useless things.

He just grabbed the child on a whim.

It wasn't for that child.

It was for the goldfish in the basin.

I never expected this...

This child is so serious...

.....
Failure after failure...

It waits for the child to give up.

……

It didn't take the child's words seriously.

Humans' promises to monsters... are always broken.

Whether due to objective reasons or subjective reasons...

It waits for the day the child gives up.

……

As it turned out, the day the child gave up never came...

……

It was met by a stranger.
