Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6002 Orange Tree

Look?
The girl with short hair and the girl with a ponytail walked up to the child.

What to look at?
They looked up, just like the children.

……

Branches extend horizontally from the wall.

The leaves on the branches are densely packed.

Lush greenery.

……

What's so special about that?

The girl with the ponytail was puzzled.

None of them are flowers.

If it's a pretty flower, it will definitely be much more visually appealing.

This leaf...

What catches your eyes?

……

"what."

The short-haired girl seemed to have discovered something.

"That is……"

The short-haired girl squinted her eyes.

"tangerine?"

……

"tangerine?"

The girl with the ponytail was taken aback.

Where can I find oranges?

……

"There."

The short-haired girl has been confirmed.

It really is an orange.

"look."

"Green oranges."

"Among the leaves."

……

The girl with the ponytail squinted her eyes.

After a while, "Ah."

The girl with the ponytail opened her eyes wide.

"I saw it."

"It really is an orange."

"Is this an orange tree?"

"But green oranges..."

The girl with the ponytail wrinkled her face, "It looks so sore."

Just imagining it made the girl with the ponytail feel like her cheeks were about to ache.

……

"Ya Ya."

The short-haired woman looked at the child and asked, "Is this what you want us to see—oranges?"

……

The child nodded.

She came to see the oranges.

She had been worried that the oranges on the tree might be gone after the past few days.

Perhaps they've all been picked.

Maybe……

It was all eaten by the leopard.

……

Yes.

The child came up with a way to verify the existence of the giant leopard...

It's all thanks to these oranges.

That day, she witnessed the leopard eating an orange.

So if she had thought of that in time that day and then kept an eye on the oranges...

Does this prove that the giant leopard really exists?
……

"You saw the oranges, didn't you?"

The child turned to look at his friend.

Could these oranges be just her hallucination?
……

"I saw it."

The girl with the ponytail replied casually.

The short-haired girl felt slightly strange.

Then I realized I was overthinking it.

At first, neither she nor the girl with the ponytail noticed the orange.

The oranges are a similar color to the leaves.

In cases of carelessness, it may not even be discovered.

……

The child nodded in relief.

Ok.

Oranges are something everyone can see.

Then, a sigh escaped the child's lips.

……

Now, not only the girl with short hair, but also the girl with a ponytail noticed that something was wrong with her child.

"what happened?"

"Did you want to come here?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Want to pick oranges?"

"Isn't Orange here?"

"Why are you sighing?"

The girl with the ponytail talked a lot in one breath.

……

"Ya Ya."

The short-haired woman looked at the child and asked, "Why did you come here?"

And my parents can't know.

Here the words...

The short-haired girl didn't understand.

Is there any need to hide it from my parents?
She almost thought it was some kind of dangerous place.

This is the result...

An ordinary wall.

An ordinary orange tree.

So, the reason why children come here even at the risk of being discovered and scolded by their parents...

What is it?
The short-haired girl didn't understand at all.

……

The child stared blankly at the orange.

The oranges are still there.

But the leopard that ate the oranges is gone.

The child sighed again.

Why didn't she think of showing the oranges to her parents that day?
I missed the opportunity that day...

Does she still have a chance to prove herself to her parents?
……

No.

In fact, she wasn't sure if it could really prove anything.

After all, by today...

She wasn't sure anymore...

That day she saw the leopard eating oranges...

Was the orange she ate a real orange from this tree, or an orange from her imagination?
……

Ah!
The child has a headache.

She couldn't help but reach out and cover her head.

True and false.

The real and the unreal.

The child was completely confused.

……

"Ya Ya."

"..."

"Ya Ya!"

……

The child suddenly came to his senses.

what! ?

The child looked somewhat frightened.

In the blurry vision, the faces of the short-haired girl and the girl with the ponytail gradually became clear.

……

"Ya Ya."

The girl with the ponytail shook the child's shoulder forcefully, "Are you alright?"

……

The child was a little dizzy from being shaken.

She nodded.

She's doing well now.

But if the girl with the ponytail keeps swinging it like that...

It's hard to say.

……

"Nini."

The girl with short hair grabbed the girl with ponytail, saying, "Ya Ya is going to get dizzy from all this shaking."

……

The girl with the ponytail stopped what she was doing with an embarrassed smile.

"Isn't it because Ya Ya isn't reacting at all?"

"Ya Ya."

The girl with the ponytail complained, "We've called you several times."

Didn't you hear me?

"Why is there no reaction at all?"

……

The child covered his head and calmed down for a while.

Some of the unfocused eyes regained their clarity.

"Excuse me."

"I was distracted."

What did you just say?

……

"Why are you here?"

The girl with the ponytail asked again very decisively.

"Is this right here?"

"what are you up to?"

"Do you need our help?"

……

The child opened his mouth.

She didn't know how to explain it to her friends.

……

"Is it something I can't talk about again?"

Seeing that the child remained silent and looked troubled, the short-haired girl understood.

……

"what?"

The girl with the ponytail pouted, "Why couldn't you tell us why we came along?"

……

The short-haired girl shook her head.

Should we avoid this area?

"We can go further."

……

The girl with the ponytail puffed out her cheeks.

The short-haired girl's thoughtfulness made her seem like a bad person.

……

The child shook his head.

"Need not."

……

what?
The short-haired girl was puzzled.

"That……"

She looked at the child.

Aside from staring blankly at the orange tree, the child didn't do anything else.

and so……

Although she thought it unlikely, the short-haired girl still asked her guess, "You came here for this orange tree?"

real or fake?

Is there anything special about this orange tree?
……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the child nodded, then shook his head.

She did come here to see the orange trees.

But if you're talking about coming here specifically for this orange tree...

But something doesn't seem quite right...

……

Is it true or not?

Girls with ponytails hate vague answers the most.

Yes, that's right.

No, it's not.

What does it mean to both nod and shake your head?
……

The child gave a wry smile.

She felt her brain was somewhat overloaded.

She reached up and pressed her head.

"I……"

"We did come here to find this orange tree..."

……

"and then?"

The girl with the ponytail asked eagerly, "Have you found it yet?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

……

"Don't make any noise."

The girl with short hair tugged at the girl with a ponytail.

"Let Ya Ya speak slowly."

……

The girl with the ponytail let out a soft hum through her nose.

Puffy cheeks.

……

The child's eyes drooped.

Try to organize your thoughts.

"I've thought of a possibility..."
