Seeing Zero Doubt's eyes, Su Mo thought she was asking for help.

So he took a step closer and said to Eri.

"It's just a monster, it's actually not a big deal, there are many monsters in the world, and you're not the weirdest among them, so you don't have to blame yourself for it."

The concept of being a monster is deeply ingrained in Eri's heart, so Su Mo did not directly deny this idea, but told Eri in a softer way that she was not without companions.

After hearing this, Eri Yi raised her head and looked at Su Mo.

The crimson pupils were like fragile gems, and she looked at Su Mo suspiciously, as if she didn't expect that after she confessed, she would still be comforted.

In her mind, the monster should be killed by the righteous Ultraman.

But now in the face of his little monster, Ultraman not only didn't make a move, but his eyes were still so close that she was a little overwhelmed.

Mother Zero's eyes were not the slightest distant, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.

How can there be anyone in the world who is not afraid of monsters?

With this question, Eri Kai emerged from her heart with a world-shattering joy, and along with the joy welled up an even more terrible fear, the fear of losing it because it was too easy to get.

She was afraid that Su Mo and Zero didn't hear clearly, or didn't understand what they meant, so they had a misunderstanding, and this closeness was not given to her.

So, after being silent for a few seconds, she mustered up the courage to face Su Mo and shook her head.

[It's different, I'm a natural monster, and the world doesn't like me]

When she wrote the last few words, she hung her head like a cat doing something wrong.

But when she showed the note to Su Mo, she mustered up the courage to raise her head again, staring at Su Mo's eyes half scared and half expectant, like a vigilant kitten, once she sensed that something was wrong, she would run away at any time.

Facing Eri in this state, Zero also realized that the next answer was important to her, so she also looked at Su Mo and handed the answer to him.

Although he has always felt that Su Mo has a bad personality and likes to play with himself, only in terms of persuasion, Zero can cast two hundred percent trust in him.

In the face of Eriyi's confession, Su Mo pointed to the ice cream on Eli's hand.

"If you don't eat it, it will melt."

Eri was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she suddenly mentioned this.

But Zero had obediently handed her the ice cream at this time, Eri looked at the ice cream that was about to fall, and after hesitating for a moment, she still held it in both hands and licked it in small bites, but she didn't forget the conversation just now, and her scarlet eyes were still staring at Su Mo tightly.

"You say the world doesn't like you because everyone is afraid of you and wants to keep you in a cage, right?"

Looking at Eri Yi, who was eating ice cream in small bites, Su Mo spoke.

Eri nodded.

She is the object of fear and fear by everyone, even her brother is afraid of her power.

From her point of view, she was rejected by the whole world, so every time she ran away from home, she would go back to her room, or her cage, because she had nowhere else to go.

That's why the world doesn't like her.

"I know a girl who is in a worse situation than you, if you have to say it, you can only be a small monster, she is a big monster."

Looking directly into Eriyi's eyes, Su Mo said with a serious face and a very soft tone.

"The situation on your side is that people are afraid of you and want to take advantage of you but dare not approach, but on her side, people want to kill her, and she has to disguise to live."

"Your brother may be scared when he faces you, but he will still take care of you, but if your brother sees her, he will definitely not even say a word and will directly try to kill her."

"If in your words, the world just doesn't like you and wants to keep you in a cage, but on her side, the world is her enemy, and almost everyone wants to kill her."

Hearing Su Mo's story, Zero's heart moved, and he immediately understood who Su Mo was talking about.

Eri Yi's eyes widened, obviously moved by the girl Su Mo told about.

For a moment, she forgot about her own affairs, and immediately wrote on a note with Zero's assistance.

[And then?] 】

What happened to a girl who was very similar to herself, and even more pitiful than herself?

"Nothing, then, she is very happy now, she has family, friends, allies and enemies, and she is going to meet her friends in a few days."

Su Mo shook his head and gave a very ordinary ending.

But this ending sounds like a fairy tale to Eriyi, and it is incredibly beautiful.

[Family? Friend? Isn't she a monster? 】

Eri looked at Su Mo in confusion.

Why do monsters have these things, aren't these treasures that only others can have?

"Who says monsters can't have these?"

Su Mo asked rhetorically.

"And, in the eyes of those who like her, she's not necessarily a monster."

With that, he reached out and touched the top of Eri's head.

"So, don't easily say that you are a monster, and don't easily say that the world doesn't like you."

"The world is so big, there are always people who will like you, and if someone likes you, you are not a monster. You haven't met someone who likes you before, maybe it's just that the time hasn't come, it's like the ice cream in your hand, which will melt one day, at this time you don't have to hesitate, just eat it in one bite. ”

Hearing this, Eri Yi was a little ignorant and a little happy.

She didn't fully understand what Su Mo meant, and she didn't understand why the big monster was able to get family and friends, but she could understand Su Mo's attitude.

Su Mo completely accepted himself when he knew that he was a monster, and he couldn't smell fear from him.

In addition to joy, thinking of the girl in the story, she never questioned Su Mo's Eri Yi, and rarely carefully raised the book to confirm.

[What Ultraman said is true?] 】

Is there really a monster that can get something that you can't even think of without being destroyed?

"Of course it's true."

Su Mo smiled.

"Her name is Xia Mi, you can call her Sister Xia Mi, and I'll introduce you to you after a while."

Su Mo's words are still very reputable here in Eriyi.

After hearing his assurance, Eri's eyes suddenly bloomed with great brilliance.

After eating the remaining ice cream in three or two bites, she didn't care about the coldness of being able to freeze her tongue, and immediately wrote and drew on the sticky notes.

[Sister Xia Mi...... A friend of Ultraman? 】

She held up the note high and looked at Su Mo eagerly, as if she wanted to confirm something.

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded.

The brilliance in Eriyi's eyes was even worse, and she raised the small notebook again and looked at Su Mo expectantly.

[Ultraman likes Sister Natsumi? 】

She seemed to want to confirm something, to ask if the monster was really acceptable.

So the "like" here does not involve the affection between men and women, but more broadly accepted.

However, such a question still made Su Mo choke.

Is this guy an assassin specially arranged by Xia Mi?

If you deny it at this time, all the words you just said will be in vain, and it will be difficult for Erika to believe that monsters will be liked by people anymore.

After making amends, it is estimated that it will be difficult to convince Eri again.

So after hesitating for a moment, Su Mo looked directly at Eriyi's clear gaze and nodded.

"I wouldn't say that to her personally, but if Eri asked, yes."

For the sake of Eri's mental health, he has paid a lot.

Zero on the side flashed his eyes and quietly stuffed the fixed mobile phone back.

After hearing Su Mo's affirmative answer, Eri Yi held the notebook in her hand and quickly wrote a sentence.

It took less than three seconds to write this sentence, but by the time she made up her mind to show it to the two of them, three minutes had passed.

Can I have friends, too? 】

She looked at Su Mo cautiously.

"Of course, aren't we your friends?"

Su Mo nodded.

Eri lowered her gaze and looked cautiously at Zero.

Zero also nodded.

Eri lowered her head, and in a few moments, she finished writing two pieces of paper.

[That...... Ultraman will like me too? 】

She looked at Su Mo blankly, as if she was begging for something.

If what Ultraman said is true, the monster can have family and friends, and it can be liked.

Can you also be liked by your friends?

"Of course."

Su Mo nodded.

The likes that Eri needs are very pure, so he can answer very easily.

Who wouldn't love such a cute little monster?

Eri turned her head to look at Zero.

[Zero mom will like me too? 】

She double-checked.

Although under Zero's teaching, Eri generally knows to call her Sister Zero, but in the bottom of her heart, Eri agrees with Zero's mother's title, so she often uses the original title when she is emotional.

At this time, Zero naturally does not care about these details.

Faced with Eri's eagerness, her little face stiffened, and she was a little overwhelmed.

Even the Frozen Queen could not refuse such an innocent thirst.

She signed a contract with Lu Mingze, understanding that only useful people can be needed, and those who are needed can stay until the end.

But Eri doesn't need her to be useful, what Eri needs is her liking.

The confirmation that is extremely important for Eri is not a simple answer to Zero.

In terms of feelings, Zero is not much more mature than Eri, she is just used to rejecting everything with a mask, and once she encounters a situation that the mask can't deal with, she is actually as clumsy as Eri.

If you want her to take the initiative to express her feelings, it is really difficult for this iceberg queen.

“……”

Zero raised his eyes at a loss, wanting to seek Su Mo's help.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink, two warm palms pressed against her petite shoulders, and the familiar breath stood behind her.

"There is no need to have concerns, it is enough to say what you think in your heart, this is not a contract or a commitment, there is no need to have any pressure."

Su Mo reminded Zero in a low voice.

Zero was slightly stunned.

Yes, Eri is just asking, and she doesn't ask for anything or hold anything back.

She doesn't need any other commitments, and she doesn't need to be useful to her, she just needs to tell her the truth at this moment, and there shouldn't be any pressure.

As for what you really think......

"Yes, Eri is my friend, and I will love Eri too."

Looking at Eri's expectant eyes, the Queen of the Iceberg said this in a cold tone.

This is not because of indifference, but because she can only suppress her emotions with such a voice at this time.

For Eri, such a bold inquiry can be said to have broken through all the previous cowardly courage, but for Zero, such an answer is also the first time in more than ten years that she has taken the initiative to break the iceberg, and the impact on her is no less than the impact that Eri has suffered.

And after the zero voice landed.

"Smack!"

The pen and paper in Eriyi's hand immediately fell off, and her hand hung down slightly.

Unreal happiness and confusion washed over her mind, and she didn't expect that she would one day be liked, not a monster, but the biggest baby in the world.

After being dazed for dozens of seconds, she raised her hand again and mustered up the courage to approach Su Mo and Zero.

She got up from the chair, and then her back arms spread slightly, wrapping Zero and Su Mo in it little by little, and then holding it firmly little by little.

Neither Su Mo nor Zero refused this hug that was very important to Eri.

The petite Zero is sandwiched in the middle like a sandwich biscuit, but Eri doesn't notice this, she just hugs the two in front of her firmly.

The crimson pupils reflected the figures of the two of them, like a dragon guarding their most important treasure, and like a newborn chick seeing the world clearly for the first time.
