The boy later told him why.

Goodbye means meeting again.

He was very happy, and Crow Crow also wanted to meet him again.

…

Crow Crow suddenly realized.

So that’s it.

Although it was actually said without the same meaning as the boy said it.

But it doesn't matter.

It was very happy to see the boy again.

After all, it was the first time in a long time that I met a human being who could see it and communicate with it.

It feels like it needs to be cherished.

After all, if you miss this one, you don’t know how long it will be before you meet the next one.

Well, let the boy think so.

As long as the boy is happy.

…

Moreover, now that it knew the meaning, when it said goodbye, it was indeed with the meaning of what the boy said.

…

It wasn't until he heard Crow Crow's "goodbye" that the boy speeded up his pace with satisfaction.

He likes crows to say goodbye to him.

He was particularly excited when he heard Crow Crow say goodbye to him for the first time.

Because that was the first time he felt... that he wasn't the only one who was in love with Crow Crow.

He got a response from Crow Crow.

He... was so happy that he couldn't wait to run two laps on the playground.

Otherwise, he felt that the overflowing emotions in his heart would drown him.

…

After that time, Crow Crow also said goodbye to him every time after he said goodbye.

Even after listening to it many times, he still couldn't help but feel the emotions in his heart rising when he heard it again.

He will still be touched by these two words of Crow Crow.

He was a little shy about this.

He never knew he was such an emotional person.

…

but……

The other party is Crow Crow.

It was the monster friend who appeared next to him when he was alone.

Because the other party was Crow Crow, it was natural that his performance was exaggerated.

…

"ah-"

Because he was so absorbed in his thoughts, the boy didn't pay attention to the road ahead and almost bumped into someone.

Fortunately he reacted in time.

The other party also responded promptly.

So there was no collision.

…

"It's you."

The sanitation aunt looked at the familiar boy in front of her with a smile on her face.

But there was a hint of complexity and worry deep in his eyes.

…..

The boy did not notice the hidden emotions of the sanitation aunt.

He grinned.

"Hello, aunt."

Having just separated from Crow Crow, the boy was in a good mood.

Crow Crow's goodbye almost washed away his regret and reluctance for not having enough fun on the swing.

yes.

I didn't have enough fun this time.

There's still next time.

He didn't have to rush this time.

…

"Just now……"

The sanitation aunt hesitated for a while and then asked.

"Are you alone?"

…

ah?

The boy was stunned.

The sanitation aunt was a little strange, no, or the sudden question made the smile on the boy's face fade a bit.

After all, it stands to reason that he and the sanitation aunt said hello to each other and left.

Unexpectedly, the sanitation aunt...does this mean she wants to chat with him?

The boy frowned slightly.

"No-"

"Ah sneeze~"

The boy sneezed hastily.

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that the sanitation aunt couldn't see Crow Crow.

He was worried that if he said he was not alone, the sanitation aunt would ask him where the other person was?

It's better to go directly...

"Yes."

The boy nodded.

"only myself."

He didn't lie.

He is indeed the only one.

Crow Crow is a monster.

not human.

…

"oh oh."

The sanitation aunt nodded.

But he had a look on his face that he was hesitant to speak.

…

The boy didn't want to know what the sanitation aunt was struggling with.

He looked up at the sky.

"Aunt."

He smiled politely at the sanitation aunt.

"I am going home."
