【No.5】

When the cute little girl sitting in the owner's arms said those words, I clearly felt the unrest in the owner's heart.

The gentle host, after experiencing the death of his friend, returned to his former home with a heavy heart.

For a long time, looking at his appearance, my heart felt a strange feeling. To sum it up in human terms, the word "worried" is probably the most appropriate.

Luckily, the owner's family changed all that.

First of all, it is a young girl who can't listen and can't speak, and she finds out that something is wrong with her master. It was because of this that I felt awe of humanity for the first time.

I should like and respect the master, and I am obviously in awe of the girl, the girl who has the same surname with the master and claims to be the master's sister.

It was terrible, she lost her hearing, her voice was so useless that she couldn't talk, and she probably didn't use her eyes much, and then, she still found something that I was hiding in my master's body all the time, and I barely noticed it.

Hey, humans, are they all so scary?

No, no, with the heavy responsibility of protecting the master, but there is a sense of fear, as a Pinocchio, it really shouldn't be.

Allow me to use the next thing to distract me from my unrestful mood -

The second one is a very different guy from the stupid snow.

A certain fool can go anywhere for the sake of the master he cares about, and this self-proclaimed genius girl, she regards it as the supreme creed of not going out, even if there is any desire to go out, she will consider it and turn it into a luxury.

I'm curious how the master's aunt, the vice president, brought her here.

But this did not prevent the owner from taking a keen interest in her, and it seemed that the owner had been interested in her since a long, long time ago.

Seeing the scene of the owner's attention being diverted, my mood became a little light, perhaps, this is relief and happiness.

Here, I would love to organize some language to describe the charm of the master, but there were many things that happened to him and the girl, and I did not understand what they said, so in the end, I could only replace the poorly organized and feeble language with a fact—

Asami Waktsuki, who has been holding her master's arm lately, wants to hang out with him.

Seeing her intimate appearance pestering her master, my feelings changed again.

I was supposed to be happy that her presence soothed the mood of the master, but there was always a sour taste in my heart.

Jealous?

I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but when I realized that it was a weird thing that was inseparable from Fool Snow, I suddenly wanted to lie and cheat myself - I wouldn't be jealous like that fool.

You can see how much I hate that idiot.

I like the host the most, and then, I hate the stupid snow the most.

Ah, I'm sorry, a Pinocchio who doesn't have a strong sense of existence is too arrogant and rude to express his feelings here without permission. Let's forget all this, go back and look at the little girl who made the owner uneasy in the first place-

Sakurumi saw her for the first time, the little girl was wearing a pure white shirt that could cover her whole body, and then stretched out her slender hand from the loose sleeve, holding a pineapple bun and biting it gently and carefully.

The already weak appearance, combined with her well-behaved gaze sitting on the ground, looking at her master from the bottom up, and that innocent and pure face, the master was crushed at once.

Although it is too arrogant to talk about the master as a servant, I have to admit that the master said that he was not Lolicon's statement, and there is indeed some bias.

The owner has always been very tolerant of the deer, the child of the gods, and the auspicious adult. Moreover, the girl he liked the most also belonged to the petite category.

What's more, in the face of me, who is relatively good in stature, the owner doesn't seem to like it so much.

Speaking of which, I'm kind of tempted to change to a younger body.

However, that is almost impossible, so I have to start from the owner's point of view, think about why he loves the younger person so much, and see if he can change himself in other ways.

Then, I quickly found out the reason: the owner, not because he likes children, but because he likes children, he likes children.

Ah, that's it.

I couldn't help but be surprised by this too ordinary reason.

It's normal, and it's normal in human society – humans let their guard down on children.

To be precise, what matters is not the "small" thing, but the fact that "smaller than me".

Because they are "smaller than me" and "weaker than me", they "don't have to be afraid", and they don't have to worry about "discovering what they hide in their hearts", and they can swagger and "shape themselves into what they want" without being recognized.

In a word, it is because of cowardice that they tend to avoid "adults" and love "children".

Although it sounds a little embarrassing, the weak side of the owner is enough to be cute in my eyes.

It's better to say, in the eyes of the weak me, I can only protect the master who has a weak side. Moreover, if these judgments are not wrong, I can also feel at ease with my weakness, after all, then I don't even have to make any changes......

Oops, hey, I'm really sorry, I've been talking about the master again if I'm not paying attention, and then I'll restrain myself a little, please forgive me-

The first meeting with the little girl Sakura, the owner was defeated, although it was a bit inappropriate to say so, but at that moment, the owner forgot his grief for a while.

And Sakura, for some reason, is also particularly concerned about the master.,It should be for some reason that I can't understand.。

From then on, the task of feeding Sakurumi and taking care of Sakurumi in all other aspects was entrusted to the master.

The cute little girl who doesn't like to talk very much, takes the master's arms as a special place for eating, and relies on her cuteness, domineering to occupy the place, and does not allow others to touch it.

Lord Jiang Quan didn't care about this matter, and he was very conscious of helping, and by helping Sakurumi clean his body and other things, he got along with the master as much as possible.

Asami Wakatsuki often loses her temper about this, after all, she has a lot less time to go out for a walk.

In short, the four of them, plus their mother-in-law and aunt, get along like family, and occasionally there is disharmony, but as a bystander, I feel so warm when I look at it.

Therefore, when the Sakura, who has always been taciturn, said coldly-

"Brother human, Sakurumi is an alien." At this time, the owner was stunned.

The master knows that Sakurumi is not a child who is good at lying.

It's not just that she's not good at lying, since she met her master, she hasn't even said a few words, and she's so taciturn that she can fight with Lord Jixiang.

This is also the reason why the owner looks sluggish.

"Eh, what about you...... Where did it come from? ”

After a brief silence, the host chose to let the conversation continue.

Ezumi-sama went to prepare dinner, and Asami Wakatsuki was studying where to take her master to play next, and there were only two of them in the room, counting me who was silently observing, and the stupid guy who didn't know what they were doing, and no one would disturb their whimsical conversation.

"Universe."

“……”

The cute Sakurumi almost killed the topic, and the owner was silent.

"What about you...... Why come here? ”

After experiencing a lot of strange owners, let's continue to ask questions on the premise of "she is really an alien".

"By chance."

"Isn't there any reason?"

Although Sakurumi challenged the cold field again and again, the owner's interest in this topic was not completely extinguished by the basin of cold water.

"I can't say that there is nothing at all."

"Can you tell me?"

“……”

Sakurumi was silent, different from the previous silence, this time it didn't seem like there was nothing to say, but more like thinking about what to say.

"I think, but, don't tell you."

She tilted her head and looked at her master, her little mouth closed one by one,

Through the owner's gaze, I saw the little girl's face, and the expression on it seemed to say, "I want to tell you, but someone won't let me tell you, so I can't." ”

It should be so, because then, the master did not ask, he must have come to the same conclusion as me.

"Then why did you suddenly tell me who you are?"

Then, he changed the subject.

"Because, I'm leaving."

"Ah, it's goodbye......"

In an instant, the owner's face was filled with bitterness.

If it was just an ordinary goodbye, then he would show a reluctant expression at most, and he would definitely not be sad.

However, the farewell of aliens will become something like life and death because of the vastness of the universe, and the owner who realized this incident recalled the bloody scene on the beach.

He was uneasy, and he became more and more afraid that he would care about others, and the more he cared, the more difficult it was to let go of them when they were separated.

And people can't be together for a lifetime.

Life and death will separate him from his elders when he is young, and when he is old, he will be difficult to see his younger generations.

The joy of being together in life, at the moment of farewell, with a lot of sadness, was all returned.

"Well, but don't be sad brother, we'll see you again."

"Huh?"

The accident brought the owner's grief to an abrupt end.

"I don't know what's going on, anyway, someone told me that, plus you are very special, human brother, I don't think it's a lie."

The little girl's eyes were very clear, which made the owner believe her words.

"But after you take back your planet......"

Sakurumi left a meaningful sentence, and the content of the words made the master and I subconsciously dare not touch it.

Finally, the cold field is on.

And just like that, the day passed.

It is worth mentioning that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the loud and endless sound of firecrackers outside is like artillery fire on the battlefield, and it is also like the farewell sound played when the planet sees that the alien visitors are about to leave.

The old year is gone, the new year is coming, and at midnight when the old and the new are alternated, there is no longer a little girl to be found in this orphanage of Nuoda.

Who is she? Oh, Sakura.

I still remember, but the memory is a little vague, and most people may forget it completely, and I must not be long before even I will forget that lovely alien visitor.

Before that, I want to tell her story in full and detail.

……

……

……

Eh, what was I doing?

Looking at the figure of the master sitting in the courtyard, looking at his serious expression of motionless staring at the sky, a doubtful thought crossed my heart.

The master's appearance was as if someone had just said the word [that] to him, and then said goodbye to him completely.

Ahh
