Chapter 3197 No Name
Ok?
One question it doesn't answer?

The gray-haired girl tilted her head slightly.

what?
……

"Gulu~"

The boy couldn't help swallowing because of nervousness.

"Ah."

"I asked you last time..."

The boy's eyes became evasive.

"can we be friends?"

At that time, the monster girl gave him an unexpected answer.

She is a monster.

but……

He wanted an answer to his question.

The boy forced himself to look at the monster girl.

Let the monster girl see...he really wants the answer to this question.

He means it.

……

A gust of wind blew, and the girl's gray hair danced wildly.

The boy then noticed that there was a red maple leaf in the girl's hair.

Is it a hairpin?

The boy guessed.

I was also a little embarrassed that I only noticed the accessories on the monster girl's head when I met her for the third time.

In fact, I don’t blame him.

The boy defended himself in his mind.

The monster girl had been sitting on the maple tree.

Red maple leaves surround the monster girl.

How could he tell... that the red maple leaf was pinned on the monster girl's hair, and not the maple leaf on the branch next to it?
……

"can."

……

The boy suddenly withdrew his gaze from the red maple leaf on the monster girl's head.

He looked at the monster girl.

what?
What did she...just say?
Yes...is it okay?

The boy couldn't control his suddenly accelerated heartbeat.

"What did you say?"

"You agree?"

The surprise in the boy's voice was about to overflow.

Really? Really?

This was the answer he expected.

But when he actually heard the answer, he became a little uncertain.

……

"Ah."

The gray-haired girl nodded.

"I can be friends with you."

"But I don't know how to make friends with humans?"

……

The boy laughed so hard that his eyes became just slits.

"Very simple."

"As long as you don't mind me coming to see you often..."

"Just be willing to listen to me and talk to me."

……

"that's it?"

The gray-haired girl puffed out her cheeks.

Isn't that what she's been doing since she saw the boy?

So they were friends from the beginning?

Is it that simple?
……

"that's it."

The boy looked bright.

A deep smile.

……

"Ok."

The gray-haired girl nodded.

It is the other party that wants to be friends with it.

Since the other party says yes, then it’s okay.

……

"That……"

The boy thought of another question.

"Since we are friends."

friend……

The boy couldn't suppress the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Even the tone of voice is filled with cheerful notes.

"Can you tell me your name?"

……

The gray-haired girl nodded her face.

But he did not answer the boy's question as he did before.

……

As time passed, the boy's excitement seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.

Slowly...cooled down.

"……what……"

The boy was a little at a loss.

This is……

Don't you want to tell him what your name means?

He doesn't understand...

They are already friends, aren't they?
The other party admitted it himself.

"Aren't we friends anymore?"

The boy murmured.

……

"We are friends."

The gray-haired girl's hearing was as sharp as ever.

"You always ask me the same question several times."

The girl seemed a little impatient and complaining.

……

Uh...the boy smiled bitterly.

He didn't want to do that either...

……

"Will you not tell me your name?"

"Aren't we friends?"

Even if the girl had just answered the question a moment ago.

He couldn't help but ask again.

"Friends exchange names with each other."

"I have already told you my name."

"Can you tell me your name?"

There had never been a moment when the boy wanted to know a name so badly.

……

The gray-haired girl swung gently on the "swing" again.

The small body looks particularly light.

"I don't have a name."

……

A totally unexpected answer...

The boy was stunned.

"You don't have a name?"

"How come you don't have a name?"

"Every-"

The boy's voice died in his throat.

Yes.

Everyone has a name.

That is the first gift given by parents since birth.

but……

Girls are not human.

The girl is a monster.

Monsters are different from humans...

Isn't that normal?

……

original……

Do monsters have no names?

The boy still looked a little confused.

There's something indescribably strange about the feeling in my heart.

After a while, he shook his head.

He tapped his head with his fingers again.

Forget it.

He figured it out.

The monster girl didn't want to tell him her name, so she didn't tell him.

in fact……

In his heart, he was more inclined to believe that the girl's so-called lack of a name was just an excuse to reject him.

Since the other party has come up with such an excuse...

He shouldn't force the monster to do anything.

He was a bit stubborn before...

The main reason was that one moment he was happy that he had become friends with the monster girl, and the next second, he was rejected by the monster girl.

Still, he refused something that was hard for him to understand and should have been particularly insignificant.

With such a huge gap, his performance might have become a bit too extreme.

……

"I see."

The boy smiles.

Name is important.

After all, a name is the most important label of a person.

He thinks the same is true for monsters.

But the name is not that important.

At least in his relationship with the monster girl, it is not a must.

……

only……

It is somewhat inconvenient after all to have no name.

The most obvious point is...

"Then what should I call you?"

The boy looked at the gray-haired girl.

He can't use "hello", right?

"When we were communicating, when I wanted to call you..."

"How can I let you know I'm talking to you?"

……

The gray-haired girl reached out.

A butterfly flew from nowhere and landed on its fingertips.

The butterfly wings trembled slightly.

The bright blue on the wings flashed with a dark luster.

……

"I know your voice."

The gray-haired girl's eyes reflected butterflies.

……

These words brought the boy, who was stunned by the harmonious scene between the girl and the butterfly, back to reality.

He opened his mouth.

I was speechless again.

He wanted to explain what he meant to the monster girl.

But I found out with a headache that my brain seemed to be not enough...

He tapped his aching head.

……

Is this the difficulty of cross-species conversation?

Such a sentence suddenly flashed through the boy's mind.

……

This made the boy laugh.

He suddenly relaxed.

"Can I give you a name then?"

The boy had a new idea.

"I will call you by that name from now on."
