"Practice here today, and gather tomorrow morning when the rooster crows!"

"Yes!"

Ah Su is really getting more and more imposing, when their leader is completely out of the question, look at this little face is tight, but it's like that, Cuizi hasn't taught in vain in the past two years.

In the past two years, the village has been very peaceful, nothing major has happened, at most a few monsters have come in groups to sneak attack or provoke, but the result is the same, and Cuizi was happily beaten back. Later, I don't know if Tsuiko is getting more and more powerful, or the monsters are becoming more and more useless, and the time to fight with Tsuiko can't even resist the effort of a meal. Now it's all trivial things in the village, and the villagers gradually dare to go out at night, and occasionally celebrate festivals, a peaceful scene.

The more peaceful life is, the more vigilant Tsuiko becomes, and the stricter the training of the children becomes. I don't understand what she's thinking, isn't this kind of peace what she's been pursuing, why is it more nervous now? The high-intensity training makes the children often injured, and I have changed from a raw hand who doesn't know much about herbal medicine to a little doctor who massages the bones every day, although they are not my anyone, but I can't bear to look at the bruises and purple injuries every day.

The little ones over there went home together, and I ran over to ask them how they were doing.

"Xiaohua, did you sprain your arm last time?"

“…… Well, I had to go back to my house beforehand. Before she could finish speaking, she ran away.

"Eh, Xiaoye, you ......"

"I, I'm going home too."

I don't know when it began, everyone's attitude towards me has always been like this, I was happy to see me, but suddenly there was no smile, and I greeted them in a hesitant way, as if I was still a little scared.

"Asu!" He knew something for sure.

"Rain, just as I want to find you, the medicine for the bruise last time ran out, do you have any new ones there?"

Asu's attitude is still the same as before, and she won't alienate me, could it be that grandma who is making trouble again, deliberately letting Xiaohui ignore me? It's not right, since the last time she had a nervous break, the people in the village have been walking around when they see her, how can they listen to her? Ahh

"Asu, the children's attitude towards me has been a little strange lately, do you know why?"

"Strange? Have it? ”

"Yes, you didn't notice that they didn't talk to me anymore, and a few of them didn't look at me." It's a little sad, I didn't do anything, I still care about their injuries every day, and give them good food, why is there no good reward for kindness?

"But, it's too tiring to train, and Tsuiko has added a lot of items to us recently."

"Really?" How can I not believe it.

"Don't think about it, go back and have a good rest, you are quite tired with us during this time, and your body is ......" said here Ah Su's expression was strange, and he immediately returned to nature. The body will not be able to bear it. ”

I didn't think about it with the pretense in my mind, and went home depressed. In the evening, Tsuiko saw that I didn't speak, so she took the initiative to ask. I was so uncomfortable that I told her all about it.

"Cuizi, what the hell do you think is going on?"

Tsuiko pondered for a moment, then looked at me again.

"There's something I forgot to tell you before, maybe someone noticed it."

"What?"

"You shouldn't be able to grow up."

"Oh...... "Enmmmm who can't grow up or something" What do you say?!!!!!! What does it mean to not be able to grow up? ”

"Literally, you'll always be in the form of a child."

"I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life?"

"Hmm."

"Why?"

"It stands to reason that your body is already dead, and you are lucky to be able to keep it from decaying for many years."

"But I'm human, a real person."

"Not anymore."

This news is even worse than not being able to train, why didn't you wear it as an adult? Or I'll walk through it myself.

"Then can I still be saved in this state?" Poor Baba.

"I don't know yet." Tsuiko touched my hair, she has been enjoying this action lately, I was quite resistant at first, but now she says she enjoys it. "I'll figure it out."

"How long will it take in your experience?" My mentality was about to collapse.

"This ...... Maybe. ”

Also, where can this kind of thing be predicted, "then what to do...... I'm so panicked, will it be burned or buried as a monster.

"No, just find an explanation, such as being cursed by a monster before so I kept looking like a child."

"Is this okay?"

"Okay, there are all kinds of strange things in this world, everyone is used to it."

I'm so tired, why did I have such a hard time wearing more.

Seeing that I was still depressed, Cuizi enlightened me, "What's wrong with being a child forever, you won't grow old and won't die." ”

"It's not good, when you are a child, you always need to be protected...... Wait, you say forever? Won't die? "How can there be any exciting news?

"Yes, since you are not a human being, you are naturally free from birth, old age, sickness and death. Of course, this is if you don't get hurt. ”

Mamma Mia, my young mind has been hit again, and I will drag this body for a hundred, two hundred years, or even longer??? I'm still looking for a tofu to hit my head and die, go and have a good tire.

"Otherwise, Cuizi, you still cut me with a sword, I'd rather be a ghost." I'm literally going to tears.

"Uh......" Tsuiko rarely hesitated. I'm a little scared, and I won't really think about whether or not to finish me off.

"Actually, there's one more thing I haven't told you."

My heart is a little cold, I still don't listen, it must not be good news!

"Actually, I don't see any soul in your body, just a bunch of shiny particles, if your body is damaged, the particles should run away, maybe you won't even be able to gather your form, or maybe you will dissipate."

“…… Maybe I'll be able to go home. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure......" burst into tears, life is so hard, I won't die here.

The next day, I sat on the hillside and played a complaining tune, feeling sorry for myself, and I blew the festive tune beyond recognition. Ah Su ran up to stop me from looking at my expression but didn't dare, so he had to accompany me.

"Rain, let's change it." It's so ugly that this subtext didn't come out.

I won't change it, everyone will be sad together. Asu couldn't help but take out the flute and demonstrate the correct melancholy posture.

I applauded silently. "Sounds good." I looked closely and found that Ah Su had grown a lot taller, more than a head taller than me, and I didn't even notice it before.

"Rain, actually, we don't mind your physical problems."

"Y-You all know?!"

"Well, Mizuko-sama told us that you were killed like this by youkai."

It turns out that Tsuiko has already solved it for me, and they really don't suspect it. "Xiaohui, they should think it's strange for me to do this, right? He avoided me before. ”

"No, no, they didn't understand the situation before, but now they can understand your feelings, and we will protect you in the future, and we won't let you be persecuted by monsters anymore."

Sure enough, I didn't hurt them in vain, but a lie is a lie after all, even if I have Cuizi to protect me now, if I keep it the same for decades, I will still be ostracized, and one day I have to leave, what should I do at that time?
