ps: Yesterday's recommendations added up to less than forty, which is really sad...... Angrily begging for recommendation votes~~)

With Hayama's help, the little girl named Rumi Tsurumi finally returned to the team.

It's just that although Hayama's actions are well-intentioned, in this world, it's not good intentions that can help others.

After returning to the team, Rumi didn't seem happy, and didn't look at anyone as before, just staring at the nearby woods and small rocks on the road to pass the time in boredom.

And it's not just that she's unhappy.

The girls in the group, who were still noisy, had a tense expression on her face when she arrived, as if a foreign object had been stuffed into cotton.

There was no particular evasion, no smacking or complaining in displeasure. However, the suddenly oppressive atmosphere at the scene speaks for itself. The solemn air seemed to smell of reproach. turned into layers of pressure and pressed on the little girl's immature shoulders.

"Well, sure enough......"

"This is also the case for elementary school students. Biqigu let out a sigh.

"Elementary school students and high school students are no different, they are all human beings!" "Yukiya looked at Hikiya with a contemptuous look at him, "Don't you even understand this?"

Humans are all despicable, so ...... Hurry up and don't be a man—— all the 'people' who felt the mockery in the words under the snow showed a stupid expression on their faces. Yuji was no exception, looking at the snow with a remnant look. This kid's poisonous tongue skills won't be upgraded again recently, right?

Sensing Yuuji's 'offended' gaze, Yuji frowned slightly, and then, as if remembering something, widened his eyes and asked Yuji with the momentum of a judge judging a prisoner:

"Speaking of which, 'Mr. Someone', didn't you just say that you wanted to prove your skills to us, why hasn't you done it yet?"

"That's ......"

Yuji was about to say something, but Yukiya said to himself as if he didn't intend to listen to him at all, "Ah, that's right!" 'Mr. Someone' couldn't bear such tepid contempt, so he said that kind of thing to provoke, so as to gain even stronger disdain and pleasure...... Sorry, it was rude not to see it at first!"—and then completely misunderstood something with an apologetic expression

"Hey, hey, don't think that you can make up for other people's brains with an apologetic expression, I'm not shaking M, how can I like to be scolded!"

"Isn't it Shake M?" Xue Xia had a stunned expression, and then turned into a thick mockery, "It's not Shake M but still want to be scolded, obviously don't like it but still do this kind of thing, isn't it more perverted than Shake M?

I'm going to stand within three meters of you, the infection is contagious, and you're sick to death!" Yu Er glared angrily at the snow, approaching angrily, and the snow also glared back at him, while retreating and maintaining a distance of three meters

Forward, forward

Backwards, backwards

After the two of them went on like this for a while-

"Hah, that's stupid!" Yuji gave up resistance first.

It feels like a child arguing.

"Yes, indeed" Xue Xia also realized the childishness of his behavior, and his little face was blue and red for a while.

Turning around, Yuji walked slowly in the direction of the team, and then a voice came from the front, "Let's explain, whether you believe it or not, what the kid needs most now is not someone else's talk!"

As someone who has experienced that pain firsthand, no one knows better than Yuji the pain of being ostracized and ignored by the group.

Standing on the podium, all around him were full of black malice, and his innocent and childish faces revealed the purest malice in the world......

This is also the reason why Yuji is still not good at dealing with elementary school students until now - every time he sees those immature faces, he seems to feel the deepest malice, and he swoops towards him through time and space, like a swamp, engulfing him all over. That is, suffocating despair!

Before you know it, the small group has reverted to its original appearance again.

The group of four little girls followed behind Hayama, and some of them talked and laughed from time to time, looking behind them as if they were laughing. And Liumei is lonely and fiddles with the camera around her neck, keeping a distance from near and far.

There was no one around him who could speak, and even the expression on his face was only pretending to be strong. The girl's lonely and pitiful appearance makes people feel sad to watch.

If he could, of course Yuji wouldn't want to see the girl repeat her mistakes and use her thin body to bear the malice of the world, that feeling was enough for him, but even Yuu II couldn't change the current situation, at least not yet. Because, the timing is not right!

The necessary condition for communicating with a child who is in a state of exclusion like Liumei is to do it quietly behind the scenes, otherwise, rashly approaching will expose her to the eyes of everyone, which will only make her feel uncomfortable and avoid communication......

Luckily, it didn't take too long to wait for such an opportunity—

Although Rumi was able to return to the team because of Hayama, it was clear that the other team members would not treat her as a member of the group. If the other few people paid a little attention to her and excluded her at the beginning, it was already to the point of completely forgetting her existence as a member, and no one even noticed when she disappeared behind her. Still talking and laughing with the current team, looking for the checkpoint.

This is also a matter of course, if you do not take the initiative to talk to the people in the group, and no one comes to talk to you, you will naturally be excluded, ignored, or even forgotten by the group.

Rumi was separated from the team at a fork in the road...... No, maybe she left on her own, and probably she knew that it would only be uncomfortable to stay there.

However, Rumi didn't notice that when she was about to leave quietly from the fork in the road, there was a small tail in the distance behind her.

============================= divider =============================

"Rumi Tsurumi, right?"

"Are you...... Who?" The girl forced a slight tremor in her voice as she staggered backwards.

"Oh, don't be so scared, I'm not a bad person. The man on the other side said this and took a step forward.

"The real bad guys don't admit that they're bad. ”

'Kick' took two steps back, and Liumei still looked at the other side vigilantly. In fact, it's no wonder that Rumi reacts like this, anyone who is accosted by strangers in this kind of environment where no one is around, it is impossible to maintain calm, not to mention that she is just a primary school student who has not yet been able to get out of the Lori stage.

"Okay, okay," Yuji raised his hands in surrender, "I'll admit it, I'm the cute and charming villain, a member of Team Rocket who shuttles between the galaxies." In order to prevent the destruction of the world, in order to protect the peace of the world, I have admitted my own evil, and bad people will not admit that they are bad people, so I am not a bad person, right?"

“...... So, why are you holding back?"

"No, we already know that you are a villain, and if you don't retreat, you will be stupid!" said the girl with a natural expression.

Hey, hey, no matter how you say it, the standard will change! Is it really the prerogative of the little ghost to be willful? Looking at the little girl who was playing with Laipi, Yuji had a speechless expression.

"Tsk, what a cute little ghost. I'll tell you the truth, my name is Yuji Itai, and like the big brother just now, I'm also a volunteer for this event. ”

"Volunteers, but ...... I don't think I've ever seen you. Looking at the young man opposite who didn't look like a bad guy (although he was frighteningly pale), in fact, Liumei had already believed it in her heart, but for some reason she refused to relax in the slightest.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Yuji felt an unnatural rustling sound coming from a bush behind him, and there was obviously no wind in the woods now.

Those guys who were hiding there must have laughed now! Yuji thought helplessly. Obviously he is a volunteer like Hayama, so why is the gap so big.

In fact, Yuji is just laughing at himself.,The conditions for him and Hayama to talk are not the same.,When Hayama was well-known to elementary school students as a volunteer representative.,But he was in a state of malaise.,Not known.,And the environment of talking is also different.,One is exposed to many sights.,The other is an environment where no one is insecure.,The two naturally can't be treated equally.。

"Believe it or not, it's true, I'm a volunteer at the school, and my job is to take care of you during the cross-country races...... Ah, that, watch out behind you," he kindly reminded.

"What? You want to trick me into turning around so that I can take the opportunity to attack me, so that I won't be fooled. Ignoring Yuuji's words, Rumi still looked at Yuji vigilantly, and then slowly moved backwards.

At her feet were the roots of a large, tangled tree, and behind them was the concave ground. Under one foot in the air, it can be imagined.

Rumi, who couldn't grasp the balance well, suddenly fell to the ground, and the purple dress floated up, revealing the one within-

White, white ......
