This is not the date I wanted.

"This child just kept crying to you about being beaten and scolded by her mother, but she didn't tell you the reason for the scolding. It's obvious that she didn't dare to say anything because she was guilty of her own fault."

Meng Yue shrugged and explained.

"Eh? Is that so?"

With eyes wide open in surprise, Rokuko looked at Shota and asked.

"..."

The little boy, Shouta, continued crying and remained silent. But his reaction was the same as admitting it to Mengyue.

"What did you do to make your mother angry?"

Meng Yue asked with a smile on her face.

"No, I don't know."

The little boy Shota turned his head away and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, what a pity. I have a piece of fancy chocolate here from the dessert shop. But—"

As she spoke, Meng Yue took out some snacks from her pocket, then retracted her hand to avoid a naughty little hand, and continued with a smile.

“Only for children who don’t lie.”

The little boy Shota blushed and gritted his teeth, looking at Mengyue with his big tearful eyes. Finally, when he realized that the other party would not buy it, he cried out in despair.

"Um - I, I used my mom's phone to play mobile games without her permission, secretly spent three hundred thousand dollars on it and made my mom mad, wow wow wow wow QAQ!"

Six Adults (IV)

==============================

"Three, three hundred thousand?!"

Rokuko was stunned for a moment because Shota's words were completely beyond her expectations.

"What kind of game can cost so much money?"

"Well, if it were a mobile game, this level would only be considered average."

Mengyue calmly explained to Rokuko and gave the chocolate to Shota. Should we say that the child is honest or realistic? After receiving the sweets from Mengyue, Shota soon stopped crying and buried his head in eating the chocolate like a hamster.

"Has Rokuko never played a mobile game before?"

Seeing Rokuko's face full of disbelief, Meng Yue asked curiously.

"...No, Liu'er had a mobile phone at that time, but it was only used for daily calls."

Rokuko shook his head silently. In her era, mobile phones did not have many functions. Although there were some small games that could kill time, they were mainly used for making calls and sending text messages. There was no mobile payment or Internet access function.

What's more, Rokuko had not yet received her own mobile phone from her parents at that time, and most of the time her sister lent her her phone.

After hearing what Rokuko said, Mengyue nodded in understanding.

"No wonder. Mobile phones have evolved a lot nowadays. We can surf the Internet and play games without any problems. We can also make payments online without having to bring a wallet. It is convenient, but it also creates new problems."

Patting Shota's little head, Meng Yue looked at him with a smirk and said,

"In my opinion, this kid probably wanted to show off the rare characters in the game to his friends, but he didn't get any free lottery tickets after drawing all of them, so he took advantage of his mother's inattention to sneak a peek at the password for mobile payment, and then kept charging money on his phone without his mother's knowledge. As a result, his mother found out when she was keeping accounts today. He then refused to admit it, got beaten up, and ran away."

"W-Why do you know?!"

When Shota heard Mengyue's guess, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Humph, as for the thoughts of a little brat like you, I, your elder brother, can see everything clearly."

Mengyue crossed her arms and looked at Shota with disdain.

"Not only that, I also know that you must have hated your mother when you left, and thought that you would cut off all contact with her even if you had to live on the streets as a beggar. But after walking for a few hours, you turned back because you couldn't stand the hunger alone, but you were afraid that you would be beaten again if you saw your mother, so you wanted to cry here, hoping that someone would be kind enough to take you in. Even if you didn't have a good reason, you had to find a shield, so you kept silent about the reason for the quarrel and kept blaming your mother, hoping that someone would protect you when your mother found you, right?"

"I, I, I..."

Obviously, Mengyue had exposed Shota's plan. His expression was as ugly as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat while eating fish. He whimpered and couldn't utter a word.

Meng Yue sneered with a smirk on her face.

"Really? You don't even have the courage to apologize, but you have a lot of silly little tricks. You're such a spineless wimp. Your mother raised you in vain."

"Sister Mengyue, this is a little inappropriate."

Liu Ku couldn't help but say. Although after understanding the whole story, she also understood that the little boy had brought it upon himself and there was no need to be partial, but she still had some resistance to Meng Yue's ruthless words that belittled others.

"You, you bad sister! I, I will fight you!!!"

Even Rokuko, who was listening, felt a little disgusted. One can imagine the reaction of the person involved, Shota. After his little self-esteem was completely belittled by Mengyue, he immediately became angry and punched Mengyue.

The result was natural. Not to mention that Meng Yue's physical ability as an elf was far superior to that of normal people, it was a foolish dream for a kid under ten to beat a high school student. Meng Yue held down Shota with just one hand, so that his seemingly powerful little fist could only swing in the air.

"Ala! You actually punched someone who was so kind as to give you candy, and the person was a girl. You are so shameful. Puff--"

"Nuh-huh! Nuh-huh!"

Shota was so angry at Mengyue that his face turned red, and he kept waving his hands and feet to hit her.

"Innocent child."

Meng Yue shrugged with a wry smile, her face suddenly turned cold, and she said in a deep voice,

"You, don't you realize how stupid you are? If you had stayed at home, you would have been beaten and scolded. But you ran away, thinking that some kind person would take you in? Ridiculous. You were kidnapped by bad guys in a few days. Your hands and feet were chopped off so you couldn't escape. You sold your heart and liver for money, and then your life ended... Ah, by the way, there's a character I want to draw in the mobile game recently... and I just happen to be short of money——"

Releasing a hint of murderous intent, Mengyue glared at Shota fiercely and showed a malicious smile.

“Eh——!?”

Feeling Mengyue's malice, Shota couldn't help but let out a whine, his body stiffened, and the anger in his eyes instantly turned into fear.

To be honest, even Rokuko, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

— Tick.

Just then, Rokuko heard the sound of water dripping onto the ground.

"Rokuko, let's go to the children's clothing section and buy some clothes."

"Eh?"

With a helpless sigh, Meng Yue explained calmly.

"This kid peed himself."

————————————————The dark history dividing line of the little boy Shota————————————

“Hmm… Oh… skinny bird… Oh, oh, fat guy… crooked clam Kopa… Wuwuwu… Mommy——”

After changing into the cheap panties and shorts that Mengyue bought from the children's clothing section at a 70% discount, Shota started crying again, but this time he obviously couldn't even speak clearly.

But this time, Rokuko felt genuine sympathy for the little boy for another reason.

"Sister Mengyue, why do you have to be so serious about a child?"

Taking out tissues from his bag, Rokuko wiped Shota's tears and snot while complaining to Mengyue in dissatisfaction.

"Well, isn't it better to learn a lesson from me first than to be caught by the real bad guys?"

Shrugging without any guilt, Mengyue took out a lollipop and shook it in front of Shota.

"Want some candy?"

"……Um."

Shouta nodded wordlessly.

"You actually want it?"

Rokuko complained speechlessly.

"Bad sister is annoying...but snacks are not at fault."

Shouta retorted quietly.

"Well, actually, many crying children will become much quieter if they put a piece of candy in their mouth to distract their attention."

Sure enough, just as Mengyue said, under the influence of the sweetness, Shota's crying gradually subsided.

Meng Yue sighed and asked in a calm tone.

"You actually understand that you were wrong, right? That's why you didn't dare to tell us the truth at the beginning?"

"……Um."

Shota nodded silently.

"Although I want to apologize to my mother, I don't dare to go back because I don't want to be beaten or scolded again, right?"

"...Well, because...an angry mother...is scary..."

After hesitating for a moment, Shouta muttered softly.

"Am I scary to have a sister?"

"……No."

"Very good." Hearing Shota's answer, Meng Yue nodded with satisfaction, "As an apology for scaring you, let me give you the courage to face the scolding."

"……courage?"

"Sister Mengyue?"

Under the puzzled gazes of Shota and Rokuko, Mengyue took out a key from her pocket, took off the key ring, and handed it to Shota.

When Shota saw the keychain with a pendant in his hand, his red eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is! The super rare character from the Gachapon machine in the arcade. Is this the final form of the protagonist of Beep-Man Rider?"

"Beep-Pattern Knight...?"

Rokuko's face was full of confusion.

"A special effects film that is very famous among boys."

After briefly explaining to Rokuko, Mengyue looked at Shota and asked with a smile,

"Make a deal with me. If you can honestly apologize to your mother and make peace with her, this keychain will be yours."

"real?!"

Shota looked at Mengyue with surprise.

"Yeah, really." Meng Yue nodded and said, "Besides, even if you don't reconcile with mom, I won't take this keychain back."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because if you can't even keep this promise, even if I don't ask for the keychain back, Beep-Man Knight will be disappointed in you and abandon you."

"Eh……"

"Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Seeing Mengyue's murderous smile, Shota shuddered and shook his head quickly.

"No, no - I get it. I, I made a deal with you!"

After that, Yumetsuki and Rokuko learn Shota's mother's phone number and contact her.

Soon, in less than five minutes, Mengyue and Liuku saw a middle-aged woman rushing over with an anxious look on her face.

To be honest, after listening to Shota's description, Rokuko thought his mother was a woman with three heads and six arms, who looked as ferocious as a Rakshasa. But when he actually saw her, she seemed surprisingly kind, with sweat on her cheeks, and it was obvious that she had been looking for her son everywhere before that.

"I'm so sorry! My son has caused you so much trouble."

Holding Shota's hand, Shota's mother kept bowing to Mengyue and Rokuko.

"Um...how much is the money for the clothes? I will pay you back..."

"It's okay, it's okay! They're all discounted cheap stuff! No need to be so polite, auntie. As long as the child is okay, that's all."

Mengyue smiled bitterly and waved her hand.

"Well, it's time for us to go, Rokuko."

"Sister Mengyue, please wait a moment."

Rokuko squatted down, looked at Shota and said gently,
