"Grandma?"

"I didn't see you in the house just now, the old body thought you were out of the door, why didn't you know it, I didn't expect you to hide here, do you want to play hide and seek with the old body?"

"How...... How so. ”

Ritsuko stood up from behind the boulder with some embarrassment, patted the slightly dusty skirt, and walked out.

It's just that when I looked back at the boulder, I didn't know when I disappeared from the boulder.

The boulder was empty.

"Are you talking to someone?" As soon as the old woman stretched out her hand, she pulled Ritsuko out of the courtyard and into the corridor.

He knelt on the ground again, put down the dishes in his hand, tightened his shoes for Ritsuko, and invited her to sit down on the side of the corridor, but he walked into the dining hall and picked up the tea that had been boiled.

"Grandma, you should have seen it too, right? The boy standing on the rock? ”

"Teenager? The old man didn't see any teenagers. ”

"Is that so......"

The old woman sat down beside her, picked up the teapot, and poured her a cup of tea.

The hot white smoke swirled and dissipated, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

After warming the tea, Ritsuko finally hasn't forgotten what purpose she was hiding there at that time.

If you ask directly, you don't know how to speak.

If you want to hide and watch, you have been arrested not long ago.

"The ......"

"Miss, if you have anything you want to ask the old man, just ask. Don't hide it, the old body will be worried. ”

Ritsuko blushed a little embarrassed, hiding or something, and it was always a bit embarrassing to listen to.

"Grandma, it's just that I've been feeling strange lately, have you invited a friend to your house? Why don't I know? ”

"Miss, why do you think that?"

"It's just these days, when I'm reading in my room, I can always hear you talking to someone, but when I want to come out to read, you're silent again, I always feel strange, at first, I thought I heard something wrong, but after a few times, I began to think that it shouldn't be because I misheard."

"I'm really sorry, the old man thought it was enough to be quiet, but he still disturbed Miss."

"It's okay, it's because I'm too sensitive to sound."

"It's a wild cat, and it's a wild cat that talks to the old man, and he always likes to climb the roof of the young lady's house." The old woman paused, but her eyes casually glanced at the roof.

Hiding on the roof, he shook his body as if he felt the sight through the rubble.

In the small area of the space, the swaying bell is no longer able to make a sound.

Why is it still getting cold......

"Wildcats? Then why didn't I see ......" Ritsuko looked into the yard, but it didn't look like she had stepped on a wild cat.

"Miss these days, always stuffy in the room, naturally I can't see it, that day the old body saw it climb on the roof, so he invited it to the yard as a guest, invited it to eat something, and chatted with it a few words, although we talked about our own, but it was also happy."

"I see, that's what I'm listening to."

Ben thought it would be Wen Gongzi coming back.

Although I didn't have much hope for extravagance, I wasn't particularly disappointed.

"After a few days, the old body can see it on the roof, and they all invite it to come down as a guest, but today it seems to have left here, and it has not climbed on the roof until now, otherwise it can let the young lady take a look, the old body now recalls, the appearance of the meow, but still a little cute."

"Did it come at noon before?"

"yes, it runs away on its own when the sun hangs overhead."

"Huh? I really want to see it. ”

"According to the old man's thoughts, I should see you soon." The old woman's answer was a little ambiguous, I don't know if it was with Ritsuko or with the yawning man on the roof.

But it was enough to convince Ritsuko.

"If you could touch it, it would be soft, right?"

"The old body thinks so too. Now that Miss's doubts have been solved, it's time for Miss to have lunch, and go to reheat the dishes. ”

The old woman got up first, but she didn't expect Ritsuko to follow into the dining hall.

"Grandma, let's eat in the dining hall today."

"Miss......"

"Since my mother's death, I haven't eaten here, occasionally...... I want to miss it too. ”

"Good...... Good. ”

Ritsuko's smile is as warm as a spring day, but it is inexplicably distressing.
