Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Eliza was stunned.

That doesn't look like the kind of face people from this area would have...

Very young... even younger than me...

The silvery sheen cascaded down his raven-black hair, his deep, amethyst-like eyes reflecting a mysterious light, and faint shadows beneath his delicate eyelashes. His features were soft and refined, and his porcelain-white skin was a color Eliza had never seen in reality.

He looks like a beautiful boy straight out of an anime... That's all Eliza, an anime enthusiast, can say.

What are you doing in here?

His voice still carried a slight accent, and there was no doubt that he wasn't from here.

what…

Eliza's azure pupils trembled.

"I...I just..."

"No matter what, you come out first."

The boy took a few steps back.

Eliza hesitated for a moment, then climbed out of the trash can.

Once she was on her feet, Eliza noticed the person who had collapsed against the trash can.

"Eh?"

Eliza opened her eyes wide.

He recognized this person; he was the absolute center and leader of the "children."

"...How could this be..."

"He robbed me."

The boy's unfriendly voice rang out.

"You know him?"

"No...I don't know him!"

Eliza immediately shook her head vigorously.

"Yeah."

The boy nodded.

"...Did you...do you make that?"

Eliza asked cautiously.

“Me? How could that be? He’s so much older than me.”

The boy shook his head, then walked past Eliza and headed away into the distance.

"wait…"

Eliza turned to look at the boy.

"Wait! Can you wait a minute!"

Her heart pounded; she wanted the boy to stay.

Normally at this point... he would gently ask what happened... then gently take care of me... take me home, let me take a bath at his house, and the next time I'm bullied, he would stand up for me... clear the way for me, and then after about 200 chapters of back and forth, we would get married and have kids together...

"... "

Eliza's lips curled slightly.

Thinking like that is disgusting...

The boy, as expected, did not turn around. He had undoubtedly heard it, but still did not turn around.

For him, it was just bad luck to run into a terrible idiot, and then he discovered a weirdo sitting in a dumpster.

All the reasons and inside stories behind it.

Nekoyashiki Haru... didn't care about any of it.

"... "

He's gone... like a boy straight out of a manga...

but…

Eliza pursed her lips.

Chapter 433 Name

“…I have nothing to do with you anymore, Martha.”

After shooing away her former friends, Eliza sat down next to the old trash can.

She was waiting, waiting for the boy to reappear.

If I passed through here last time, I'll definitely pass through here again next time, right?

They're probably foreigners who recently moved in...

Is he Japanese?

Eliza's toes twitched gently inside her shoes.

Someone in the distance cast a glance, followed by a few snickers.

But Eliza didn't care.

She just waited.

I waited from afternoon until evening.

"... "

Eliza never saw the boy again until everyone else had left.

"...Could this just be a dream?"

Eliza muttered to herself.

It doesn't feel impossible...

Maybe I should just go home and watch anime... staying here might not be a good idea...?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the boy's figure appear.

And so he walked past Eliza.

He was staring straight ahead and didn't notice the girl lying motionless next to the trash can.

"!"

Eliza smiled, stood up, and looked at the boy who had already passed her.

She wanted to call out to stop him, but the words caught in her throat.

"... "

She took out her phone and, using the streetlight, began to check her appearance.

Dense freckles…

"... "

After a moment of silence, the girl put away her phone and then followed the boy at a distance.

Is he... going home?

Eliza gradually became aware of this fact.

Eliza stopped walking only after he entered the luxury community.

"what…"

Her lips trembled, and her pupils were gray.

Then he took a few steps back.

Living in a place like this...

"At least I know how to find him later... Let's go back first."

Eliza nodded and then walked towards her home.

I need to get up early tomorrow.

After returning home, the girl didn't even watch anime; she simply ate dinner early and went to bed.

Normally, I would stay up until 1 or 2 a.m.

Looking at the walls of her room covered with decorations, Eliza's lips curled into a slight smile.

Perhaps what initially attracted me to them was the beauty and happiness that I couldn't experience in reality.

No matter what hardships or difficulties you experience, as long as it's animation, it doesn't matter.

Suffering will be replaced by happiness, and difficulties will be overcome by faith.

Even if it's a tragic ending, there will be fans who will try to create a happy ending for it.

That's why I like them, right?

No… it’s more accurate to say I envy you than like you?

Eliza slowly closed her eyes.

...

……

.........

"...I see, he's a student at Belles School..."

Eliza turned her head from the corner and watched the boy walk into the school.

"Ugh, I can't get into this private place... I guess I'll just have to wait outside."
