Boys want to change.

But I never had enough courage.

However, Xiao Xiao gave him a direction to work hard on.

yes.

What he wants to be is this kind of adult.

Don't be impatient, the years will be peaceful.

...

"...I am so useless..."

The boy lowered his head, feeling very depressed.

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the side of the cup.

There was a slight pain in my fingertips.

...

"You just haven't gotten over your childhood memories."

This is a euphemism.

To put it more bluntly, boys have not emerged from the shadow of childhood.

The first impression is extremely important.

The impact it has is also very "stubborn".

The boy left a deep understanding in his heart that monsters are scary.

Even boys have a conditioned reaction to seeing monsters.

That is fear.

Habitual fear.

Habitual escape.

...

It takes a long time to form a habit.

Changing a habit may take longer, determination and courage.

...

"You are not afraid of Philip."

Xiao Xiao reminded the boy of a fact.

Boys are not afraid of all monsters.

This is not surprising.

Philip's appearance is easier to like than to scare.

To put it to the extreme, most people follow their five senses in their outlook on life.

Because he looks good...

Even the monsters I have always been afraid of no longer feel resistance.

...

Therefore, many people have always pursued beauty or handsome appearance.

It is true that good looks are more likely to attract preference and favoritism.

...

The boy was stunned.

Philipp...

He subconsciously looked at Philip.

Philip returned to the same appearance as when he first saw it.

Close your eyes, it seems that you are having a sweet dream.

...

On the snow-white hair, the red lines seemed to glow faintly.

so beautiful.

The boy stared blankly.

...

After a while, the boy suddenly came back to his senses.

He blinked.

There was a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"...Philippians are different..."

"It doesn't look strange at all."

"It's not scary either."

...

"...The first time I saw it, it was a small one, lying on the window of the cake shop..."

The boy wants to explain something.

"It should really want to eat cake..."

...

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Philip likes sweets."

...

really.

The boy looked unsurprised.

"I saw it for a week straight..."

"I hesitated countless times..."

"I'd love to buy him a cake..."

The boy smiled bitterly.

"But...I'm timid."

"Even if it's such a small thing, I've been thinking about it all over the place, but I just can't really put it into action."

"After Philip disappeared, I can still vaguely recall the regret I felt at that time."

...

“…Philippi is different…”

The boy said it again.

Others...are monsters.

Phiphi...is a beautiful fantasy creature.

In particular, he always felt that the days when he met Philip were like a fairy tale.

The little fox covets the cake in the window.

Boy looking at the little fox across the street.

...

In those days, he was very excited even going to and from school.

This also aroused inquiries from my parents.

After all, in their impression, the child became more and more timid as he grew up.

He is always shrinking and makes them angry just looking at him.

They don't understand what went wrong?

Why is this child so "crooked"?

...

Seeing that the child was hesitating and unable to come up with a reason, they gave up the investigation impatiently.
