Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6009 Oops
"...Hallucinations are not contagious..."

"Sometimes it is even more terrifying than an infectious disease."

"It corrupts a person from the heart."

The old lady spoke earnestly.

……

To be honest, the girl with the ponytail didn't quite understand what the old lady was saying after that.

The girl with the ponytail looked a little bewildered.

……

The old lady stopped talking.

She shook her head slightly.

Why did you talk so much nonsense to a child...?

She smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't understand."

"Just remember to avoid him if you see him in the future."

"Don't talk to him."

"Don't believe what he says."

……

"Ah."

The girl with the ponytail nodded.

"understood."

……

The girl with the ponytail lay in the hospital for two hours, but she couldn't stay in there any longer.

She felt that she was alright.

After repeatedly asking the child about his feelings and the doctor's opinion, the old lady left the hospital with the child.

……

The girl with the ponytail said goodbye to the old lady.

It ran home like a little rabbit.

Because of this accident, she got home much later than usual.

However, she had a reasonable explanation.

She didn't go anywhere else.

I've been in the hospital for so long.

Her parents definitely won't scold her.

……

Watching the child's rapidly receding figure, the old lady silently swallowed the words "run slower" back down her throat.

A smile appeared on the old lady's face.

It seems the child is recovering very well.

The fact that the child can run like this means that he is not seriously injured.

The old lady thought of that child again...

I have a similar experience to this child.
No.

These two children just had similar beginnings...

What followed was completely different.

This is a smart and lucky child.

That child...

Without this child's intelligence and luck.

do not know……

How is that child now?

……

The girl with the ponytail returned home.

really.

After learning that she had been in the hospital for an accident and was therefore late in returning home, the girl with the ponytail's parents' expressions softened.

And he showed a worried expression.

……

The girl with the ponytail waved her hand.

He claimed that he was fine.

She didn't tell her parents that she saw a strange uncle who was hallucinating.

This incident makes her feel upset whenever she thinks about it.

Girls with ponytails subconsciously reject and resist this.

Let's just leave this matter in the past.

……

The girl with the ponytail kept her word.

Soon, the girl with the ponytail completely forgot about it.

She never encountered that strange uncle again.

……

today……

The word "hallucination" opened the floodgates of the girl with the ponytail's memories.

It brought back memories of that incident for her...

……

Those are such distant memories...

The girl with the ponytail sighed.

What surprised her even more was...

She still remembers this matter very clearly.

I'd completely forgotten about it...

……

"I do not know."

The child gave the same answer as the girl with short hair to the girl with the ponytail's question.

She didn't know why she was hallucinating.
Very strange.

Before her parents told her it was a hallucination, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the leopard at all.

of course.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with the leopard now.

……

"you……"

The girl with the ponytail observed the child.

She placed the hallucinating uncle, whom she had long forgotten, together with the child in front of her.

Constantly exchanging.

The girl with the ponytail remembered the old lady's words of advice.

But when it's her best friend who's hallucinating...

The girl with the ponytail seemed a little lost.

She could run away from the unfamiliar middle-aged man at will.

But my own friends...

……

"what happened?"

The short-haired girl sensitively noticed the change in the ponytail girl's emotions.

"Why are you acting a little strange too?"

……

The girl with the ponytail pursed her lips. She stared at the child.

My mind was somewhat blank.

……

The child seemed uneasy.

“Nini, Nini…”

what happened?
Her regret deepened.

is not it……

She should listen to her parents and not tell anyone about the leopard.

even though……

They were her best friends.

……

"Nini?"

The short-haired girl frowned.

……

"...I used to."

The girl with the ponytail finally spoke.

She kept her eyes fixed on the child.

"I once met someone who was hallucinating."

……

The short-haired girl and the child were both stunned.

what?
……

"When?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the short-haired girl immediately pressed for an answer.

Why did you never tell us this?

The short-haired girl was surprised.

She assumed there were no secrets between them.

Now, first of all, the children have secrets from them.

But in the end, the child still chose to tell them the secret.

Even girls with ponytails have things they don't know?

……

"A few years ago..."

The girl with the ponytail tilted her head. "Two years ago? About?"

"Ah."

The girl with the ponytail nodded.

"It was just two years ago, when I had just started elementary school."

……

Oh.

The short-haired girl nodded.

It's so early, no wonder I didn't tell them.

……

"...The feeling that incident gave me..."

The girl with the ponytail paused, a hint of hesitation on her face, as if she were carefully choosing her words, "...It's terrible."

……

Is it bad?
The short-haired girl was taken aback.

……

The child unconsciously clenched his fingers.

My heart felt a tightness in it.

……

"Ah."

The girl with the ponytail nodded.

"very bad."

"I was terrified."

……

The girl with the ponytail told her friends a story that had been buried in her memory for a long time.

She thought she would never remember it again.

……

The child and the short-haired girl were both stunned, surprised, and... at a loss.

……

"People who are hallucinating..."

The girl with the ponytail whispered, "It's a little scary."

"Sprouts are not scary."

The girl with the ponytail immediately added.

Ya Ya is her friend.

How could she think her friend was scary?

……

The child's face was somewhat pale.

After hearing the story of the girl with the ponytail, the child finally understood why her parents had asked her to keep it a secret.

original……

Hallucinations...

Is it really that bad...?

……

The children fell silent.

……

The girl with the ponytail seemed a little uneasy.

She didn't originally intend to tell this story...

However, Ya Ya told them what her parents had told her to keep a secret.

She felt that if she didn't speak up...

It seems a bit disloyal...

She said it.

He told everything at once.

She didn't want to say those things the old lady told her to stay away from people who were causing her hallucinations.

Ya Ya was hallucinating.

What she meant by saying these things... wasn't she trying to distance herself from Ya Ya?
As a result, he couldn't stop talking.

By the time she realized what had happened, she had already told everyone.

……

The girl with the ponytail was struggling with what to say.
But I don't know what to say?
……

"That old lady is right."

A voice broke the silence among the children.

……

The children immediately turned towards the direction from which the sound came.

who? !
