Chapter 3201 I will fall

The tense shoulders slowly drooped.

Then I felt a slight pain in my body.

The boy knew.

This is because my whole body was too tense just now.

As soon as you relax, some aftereffects will come.

……

The boy twisted his shoulders carefully.

He turned his neck again.

……

"what are you doing?"

Yaya looked at the boy's sudden and inexplicable behavior, with a look of confusion on his face.

……

"..."

The boy smiled bitterly.

How should he explain this?

……

"Why do you look uglier than if you failed the test?"

The speaker may not have meant it, but the boy took it seriously.

boy:……

He suddenly felt extremely regretful for telling Yaya that he had failed the exam.

"Crow."

He looked helpless.

"Can you forget that I failed the test?"

"Can you please stop comparing everything to that incident?"

……

"why?"

Ya Ya asked in a very natural way.

"You look more-"

"Crow!"

The boy interrupted the girl with a headache.

……

He took a deep breath.

"Crow."

He tried to keep himself calm.

The experience during this period -
To be honest, he has made great progress in controlling his emotions.

He quickly calmed down.

"Because I don't like people constantly reminding me...that I failed the test."

"That exam is over."

"Let's not talk about it anymore, okay?"

The boy looked at the gray-haired girl seriously.

……

Crow blinked.

"I'm not human."

.......
boy:……

"what?"

He didn't understand why Ya Ya suddenly said such a thing?

What do you mean?
not human?
Crow means it doesn't care about his-
"You just said it wrong."

Yaya's next words instantly shattered the bad guess that had just arisen in the boy's mind.

"……what?"

……

"You just said you don't like people constantly..."

Ya Ya seemed to explain it in a somewhat nonchalant manner.

"I'm not human."

"I am a monster."

……

what……

After being stunned for a few seconds, the boy finally understood what Ya Ya meant.

For a moment, the boy didn't know what expression he should make.

Was this the point of his previous remarks?
……

“…Oh, oh, yes.”

The boy responded somewhat stutteringly.

Doesn't he know that there is need to be so serious about it?
It turns out... Yaya is such a serious monster?
……

"I see."

Crow nodded.

……

what?
The boy was stunned again.

He found that it was right for Yaya to speak directly.

But also very jumpy.

Sometimes it is easy to confuse the person talking to it.

……

"I won't mention the fact that you failed the test again."

Crow was not impatient.

It’s different from what the boy had imagined before…

……

The boy thought that Ya Ya would say to him as he did before: Humans are so stupid...

There will be some impatience.

but no.

Ya Ya explained it to him.

No.

I promised him that.

The boy pursed his lips.

The corners of my eyes felt inexplicably swollen and hot.

"……Um."

He responded in a low voice.

……

"..."

There was a hint of silence and awkwardness in the air.

The boy scratched the back of his hand helplessly.

Crow...are you angry?
Wasn't his tone bad just now?
The boy, who had just been touched, soon started to have wild thoughts again.

……

"cough~"

The boy wanted to cough loudly.

He almost didn't hear the sound.

The boy touched his neck.

I feel upset about my performance. …

"cough~"

The boy coughed loudly.

This time, the sound finally came out.

But he almost scared himself.

……

"You have a sore throat?"

Ya Ya withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon.

It fell on the boy instead.

……

Yaya's proactive conversation made the boy's heart, which had been hanging in the air, fall back to its original place.

He breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Great.

Ya Ya was not angry with him.

The boy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little.

……

"fine."

The boy looked up and smiled.

"correct."

The boy pursed his lips and seemed to have made a decision in his mind.

"I looked unhappy just now..."

"Because I was a little scared."

……

"Scared?"

Crow was puzzled.

Why are you scared?
……

Looking at Yaya's unaware face, the boy said: ...

Also.

Thinking of Ya Ya's clear laughter and bright expression before...

Crow must be having a lot of fun.

Of course, she didn't notice him huddled up beside her.

"Your swing is scary."

……

After finally saying this, the boy felt as if a stone had been removed from his heart and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

……

"what?"

Crow became more and more confused.

"Scary?"

"Swinging is scary?"

It doesn't understand.

In its impression, humans swinging on the swings are all smiling happily.

As far as it felt itself, it had absolutely no idea where the idea of ​​swinging being scary came from.

……

The boy pursed his lips.

“Regular swings aren’t scary.”

“But you’re swinging too high.”

The boy smiled bitterly.

“I always felt like I was going to be thrown out.”

"I was terribly frightened."

……

"Too high?"

Ya Ya seemed to understand something, but also seemed not to understand.

"Isn't it better if the swing is higher?"

It’s more fun if you swing high.

It remembered... it heard that when humans played on a swing, they would ask the person behind to push as hard as possible so that the swing could swing as high as possible.

Did it remember it wrong?

Nope.

……

"That also has to be done in moderation."

The boy thought, it’s really not that he is timid.

Anyone who had sat in his position just now would have been scared.

"You're swinging too hard."

"Do you want the swing to go around the tree trunk?"

……

"Ah."

Raven's blunt admission made the boy's eyes widen.

It really is……

The boy took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Speaking of...

Isn't this too straightforward an admission?

The boy reached up and rubbed his forehead.

"Aren't you worried you might fall?"

A 360-degree rotation.

This is too exaggerated...

……

"I won't."

Yaya looked at the boy with an expression as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

boy:……

It's his fault.

He shouldn't look at crows with human eyes.

The appearance of the crow is too deceptive.

Let him always forget...Crow is a monster.

……

"Ah."

The boy nodded.

"You won't fall."

“But I’ll fall.”

Crow must really like swinging and have a lot of fun.

She didn't even notice him standing beside her, looking so disheveled and miserable.

He actually didn't quite understand why some people were afraid of riding amusement rides, such as roller coasters.

After this unforgettable swing experience, he understood everything.

The feeling those people had when riding the roller coaster was probably the same as the feeling he had just had when swinging on the swing.

It really is... so scary.
