Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5998 Opportunity
The child blurted it out.

The kids love giant pandas.

They are adorably clumsy.

so cute.

……

The man wasn't too surprised by the child's answer.

But the doubts in my heart only increased.

The child is a child he knows.

I prefer panda cubs to leopard cubs.

that……

Why……

Is the child hallucinating a leopard?

……

"You don't hate the leopard..."

The man looked at the child, puzzled. "You're not the one who likes leopards the most either..."

"Hallucinations are generally created under strong human will... illusions..."

"You don't seem to have such a strong desire to see a leopard..."

"Why……"

……

The child shook his head, bewildered.

She doesn't know either.

is not it……

A brilliant idea flashed in the child's mind.

"The leopard wasn't my imagination."

……

"impossible!"

The man and woman spoke in unison.

……

The child stared in disbelief, mouth agape.

No, isn't that right?

……

"Do you believe your own eyes, or the eyes of all the rest of us?"

The woman shook her head.

"The truth is, except for you..."

"No one saw the leopard."

"Do you understand, Ya Ya?"

"You're the only one who saw the leopard!"

The woman spoke slowly and deliberately.

Has this child still not understood this point?

……

The child remained silent.

She was the only one who saw it...

"...Why did I see a large leopard?"

The child tilted his head.

"I'd rather see fairies."

A beautiful little elf with transparent wings.

The child dreams of meeting the elf.

Make friends with the elves.

……

The man and woman were taken aback.

To be honest, it does help children understand things better if they see fairies.

leopard……

"Ya Ya."

The man seemed thoughtful. "Did you see a leopard somewhere before you started hallucinating?"

"It may not be true."

“Animated characters are also acceptable.”

"or……"

"Have you heard stories about leopards?"

"Have it?"

Since the leopard isn't the child's favorite animal, nor the illusion they most want to see, then...

There must have been some trigger for the child to see the hallucinatory leopard.

Perhaps this opportunity has been found...

They can then completely solve the problem of children seeing hallucinations.

Isn't it said that the one who tied the knot must untie it?

……

The child looked completely bewildered.

She shook her head hesitantly.

No.

Before she hallucinated seeing the leopard, leopards were not animals she would pay particular attention to.

She likes cute and pretty little animals.

Well.

If they're cute and pretty enough, a larger size is fine too.

……

"Really do not have?"

The man persisted, saying, "Anything related to leopards, no matter how small, is acceptable."

……

Looking into his parents' expectant eyes, the child tried very hard to remember.

She reached up and tapped her head.

……

Why are you hitting yourself?

The woman held the child's hand.

……

The child felt a slight sense of relief when her mother took the initiative to talk to her.

Does this mean...?

Is Mom no longer angry with her?

……

The child stared blankly at his mother.

He gave an unconscious, awkward laugh.

Isn't she just helping herself remember?
……

If she can give her parents the answer they want, will her parents be happy?

Children want their parents to be happy.

She tried very hard to think.

She even hesitated about whether to lie.

But she dared not lie.

They also don't lie.

She will act very guilty.

Her parents will definitely find out she's lying.

if that is the case……

Mom and Dad will be even angrier.

……

The child was afraid to take the risk. So, in the end, the child shook his head with trepidation and unease.

……

No.

Before seeing the leopard, there was nothing related to leopards in her life.

……

The man and woman were very disappointed.

Did they guess wrong?
No.

They didn't think they were wrong.

Everything has a cause.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

It's not like you were born that way.

……

The child just hasn't realized it yet...

……

Such a young child...

It's difficult to notice some details.

……

The man and woman tried hard to recall...

Could they discover something from their own memories...?

No.

The child in their memory had no problems.

There are no elements related to leopards at all.

……

They were in a dead end.

The man and woman were helpless, frustrated, and frantic.

But also...

Helpless.

……

The child nervously glanced at his parents.

……

Her parents' sighs made her feel worse than their anger.

Did she disappoint her parents...?

She didn't want to either...

The child's eyes were burning hot.

Large tears fell down.

……

The child endured it at first.

Keep your head down.

She didn't want her parents to see that she was crying.

Later, she became more and more agitated as she cried.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into loud sobs.

"Wow~!"

……

"Ya Ya."

The child's crying startled the distracted man and woman.

They looked at the child.

Her small, fair face was red from crying.

Tears smeared all over the child's face.

It makes the child look pitiful and pathetic.

……

The woman immediately felt sorry for him.

"Ya Ya."

She took the child into her arms.

Even after a bunch of upsetting things happened...

Even if the root of the problem lies with the child...

She realized it later.

Chen Jing targeted the child because the child was hallucinating.

Chen Jing wanted to see the child's hallucinations.

This is absurd.

But what happens to Chen Jing is none of her business.

If she doesn't bother her child.

If the child is not hallucinating...

Chen Jing was not told that she was hallucinating...

None of the following events will happen.

……

but……

She couldn't bear to blame her child.

Her children are hallucinating...

How to do?
How could her child be hallucinating?
She doesn't understand...

How could such a thing happen to her child?
She was very flustered.

I feel very helpless.

Also very powerless.

She didn't know what she could do to "cure" the child.

As she said before...

The child is sick.

But she didn't know how to cure the child.

……

The child cried for a long time.

Finally, exhausted from crying, he fell asleep in the woman's arms.

……

The woman gently tidied the child's hair.

……

I carried her to the room.

The man got up and picked up the child.

……

The woman sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the child's face, which was covered in tears.

He let out a silent sigh.

……

"Click~"

The man and woman closed the door to the child's room and left.

……

Unexpected things always happen with children.

What men and women can do hasn't changed much.

They can do almost nothing.

They can only passively clean up the mess.

Passive defense.

……

The child became silent.

On the day of the class field trip, her friends took her to a flower nursery.
