Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5875 Be Friends

The girl was somewhat uncertain.

I wonder if you still remember?

The girl tilted her head.

"The fact that you saved me."

……

The girl seemed indifferent to the seemingly aloof attitude of the red-eyed python.

As long as the red-eyed python doesn't leave, everything will be fine.

after all……

She also knew that she hoped the red-eyed python would understand every word she said...

That's wishful thinking.

……

The red-eyed python is a snake.

She knew it.

....
But a red-eyed python saved her.

She knew it too.

……

"...that day..."

The girl gently stroked the glass window in front of her.

"I don't know why this window..."

"It's broken."

"...I collapsed to the ground."

“Many snakes were crawling towards me from all around.”

"I'm terribly scared."

Even now, recalling that day still gives the girl goosebumps.

……

"terrible……"

The girl murmured.

"...I thought I was going to be eaten by a snake..."

"So many snakes..."

"I'm surrounded."

"I don't know what to do?"

"I thought I was going to faint."

"I wish I had fainted..."

The girl smiled.

She's just that timid.

Once you faint, you won't know anything anymore.

……

"Just when I was terrified..."

The girl looked at the red-eyed python, her eyebrows curving into crescent shapes.

"You've appeared."

"Because of your appearance, the other snakes no longer approach me."

"I've been rescued."

"I was so panicked at the time..."

"I'm so confused..."

My mind went completely blank.

I forgot to thank you.

"I only remembered after I got home..."

The girl pursed her lips.

"I'm very sorry."

"I still hold a grudge about this."

"You saved me..."

"I must thank you in person."

The girl unconsciously licked her lips.

"This is my persistence."

"They all say..."

"All I have to do is shout at you."

Why should I thank you in person?

"It's been dragging on for so long..."

"...You wouldn't understand either."

The girl spoke softly and vaguely, her gaze lowered.

The girl gave a wry smile.

She knew it.

She's not a kindergarten kid.

but……

"I do not know either……"

"I'm very persistent."

"I……"

The girl recalled the image of the red-eyed python guarding her like a protector that day.

"...I'm not reconciled."

The girl's voice became softer again.

"I'm not content with just this simple contact with you."

"I hope……"

"We can be friends."

The girl looked up.

A faint light emanated from his lowered eyes.

……

Yes.

She once doubted her own persistence, or what others might see as stubbornness or obstinacy.

Later she figured it out.

She was just a little greedy.

She didn't want to sever her connection with the powerful red-eyed python that had saved her so easily.

Thanking the red-eyed python in person was an excuse she used to get close to it.

She wanted everyone to accept her excuse for frequently visiting the red-eyed python.

……

Hard work pays off.

Look.

She succeeded.

The girl couldn't help but smile.

A hint of joy couldn't be suppressed from the corners of his mouth and the expression on his face.

……

She really succeeded.

Looking at the red-eyed python that was now standing perfectly fine in front of her, listening to her speak...

The girl had a light, airy feeling, like her heart was filled with bubbles.

……

Was she dreaming?

Did she really succeed? ...

As she spoke, the girl couldn't help but cup her cheeks in her hands.

She seems a little too happy?
……

How could that be excessive?

After so many years of perseverance, it has finally succeeded...

Who wouldn't be so happy that they almost forget themselves?
……

The girl tilted her head.

"Sissi."

"look."

"I succeeded."

"You paid attention to me."

"You're willing to stay in front of me like this."

"I'm really happy."

"Thank you for being there back then."

"Thank you for saving me back then."

"Thank you."

"Thank you very much."

"It's all because of you, even after going through such terrible things..."

"I haven't had a single nightmare in a single day."

"Even though I have dreams about that day."

"But in the end, it all ended with you coming to save me."

Such a dream...

How could it be scary?

……

The girl curled the corners of her mouth.

"Sissi."

"You gave me a lot of courage."

She's even survived swarms of snakes...

What's so scary about many things?
Such words always inspire her.

……

"I……"

The girl clenched her hands tightly.

His eyes were fixed intently on the eyes of the red-eyed python.

"Sissi."

The girl took a deep breath.

Slowly spit it out again.

"you……"

The girl's fingernails dug into her flesh.

Use pain to keep your mind clear.

Can we be friends?

……

The girl blurted out those words in one breath.

……

After she finished speaking, the girl's gaze drifted away for a moment.

Soon, the girl's eyes were fixed on the red-eyed python.

Their hands were clasped tightly together.

His mouth opened and closed several times, "...Is it okay?"

……

A red-eyed python: ...
It quietly watched the girl.

It seemed like they understood.

It was as if he hadn't understood what the girl had just said at all.

……

The girl pursed her lips tightly.

She looked at the red-eyed python with eager anticipation.

"May I?"

"...If you're willing..."

"We can make some gestures..."

The girl's brain was working at full speed.

"for example……"

Nod your head -

Well.

Before she could finish speaking, the girl realized that her request was a bit too much to ask.

……

The girl unconsciously turned her face to the side.

Look up.

……

what.

A brilliant idea flashed in the girl's mind.

"Or you can stick your tongue out."

"Or you could sway your body a little."

……

The girl opened her mind.

He thought a lot about how to make the red-eyed python agree to be his friend.

……

The girl became more and more excited as she spoke.

Then, as if reaching a peak... the lines turn downwards.

The girl's voice grew softer and softer.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

What was she thinking?
Nodding is something even a strong snake cannot do...

Aren't these the same?
The red-eyed python couldn't understand her words and react accordingly.
The girl's eyes widened suddenly.

"!?"

……

The girl wanted to rub her eyes.

Do you think you're seeing things?
Yet, I couldn't bear to let my gaze wander even slightly.

Even though the red-eyed python has now returned to its original state.

It left the girl somewhat dazed.

Just a moment ago...

Did the red-eyed python really nod?
Is she seeing things?

Was she really hallucinating because she desperately wanted a response from the red-eyed python?

Yes, it's a nod.

It's not spitting out a snake's tongue.

It's not about swaying your body.

Compared to those ambiguous expressions...

P.S.: Happy National Day everyone! (ω)ノ!
