This dusk is not dazzling.There was a light rain in the afternoon, and there were a few dark clouds in the sky, but there were still a few gleams of light falling through the clouds, and a hazy gray-blue sky could be seen from the half-open glass window.

Dusk was sinking, and the moist and gentle night wind was blowing gently.

Jason sat on the sofa and looked out of the window for an unbelievable amount of time. The book in his hand made his fragile knuckles a little sore, and he looked away.

There was another buzzing tinnitus in his ears, but it didn't last long, and this time, he didn't feel irritable or restless due to sensory disturbance.

...That may be because he is in a calm mood at the moment.

Not long after, the white noise of the city gradually entering the night, and... the sound of the soft figure curled up on the other side of the sofa turning the pages of the book reached his ears again.

He thought he couldn't stand the silence long ago—harsh laughter and bloody memory fragments always drilled into his mind between moments of relaxation.

but……

calm.This word, which he thought would have nothing to do with him in the rest of his life, came to him again on such an evening.

He didn't expect that there was someone staying by his side just to read a book with him for a while.

"In order to prevent humans from working together to build a tower leading to heaven, God made humans speak different languages, making it impossible for humans to communicate, and the plan to build the Tower of Heaven failed..."

The clean voice of the girl on the other side of the sofa resounded in the room. She was holding the book "Babel" with a red cover she bought earlier, and her voice seemed a little confused, as if she was asking a question, but also as if He was talking to himself, "What if those humans who speak the same language decide to work together to build a tower?"

After pausing for a while, the raised head behind the book glanced at him, and Jason was sure she was asking him.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Then let the remaining people be suspicious and jealous of each other, and there is no possibility of cooperation anymore, or directly send a flood in front of them, once and for all.There are many ways, right?

But Jason didn't tell her those messy thoughts.

The chest of the young man who was half leaning on the sofa heaved slightly, and what he finally said was, "God may think that the divided human beings no longer have the power to worry him."

That girl... he meant Amis, she seemed to know everything, and her knowledge was far beyond that of normal people, but with the increase in daily communication, he found that her ideas were quite different from most people's.

... He wasn't referring to her lack of common sense in life, well, she did have a little bit of lack, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing as heating food with tin foil in the microwave.

He meant that sometimes he felt like she was a child learning about right and wrong, and if he told her something wrong, she might take it seriously before she was corrected—although her cold personality made her uncomfortable. will show up easily.

Seeing Amis blink, Jason let out an 'oh', and went back to the back of the book as if thinking about it.

... What is he thinking, she is not completely without judgment, and she may not necessarily do what she hears, so what is he worried about?

Jason's eyes fell back to the "History of the Universe" in his hand. She saw the book in his hand when she got off work, and asked him why he was reading that book. Jason couldn't answer it for a while, and he also I don't know why I picked that one, maybe it's just to make myself look like I have something to do.He couldn't concentrate well, and the time spent distracted was far more than what he could read.

She didn't ask any more.

After tidying up the room, she curled up on the other side of the sofa and read a book with him.

What caught Jason's attention again was the sound of the plastic bag being torn open, and the rustling sound coming from the bag, which he guessed was a bag of chocolate beans.

Sure enough, the rich chocolate aroma came out with the opening of the bag.

She seems to like sweets very much. Apart from daily necessities, Jason sees that she buys all kinds of desserts most often, but she usually doesn't buy too many because...

After Amis poured out some, she handed the bag to him, "Do you want to eat?"

Jason glanced at her.

...Because most of the things she buys will be given to him, but he can't eat too much of this kind of food yet.

Jason took it.

That bag of chocolates is like something a child eats, with red, yellow, blue and green colored icing, and chocolate sand inside. It tastes quite sweet and greasy, making the teeth soft.He stopped eating it after elementary school... well, he didn't go to elementary school, and he didn't eat candy like this when he was a child.

Jason put one in his mouth, it was as sweet as imagined.

It was overly sweet.

He pushed the piece of chocolate candy between his teeth and wanted to bite it off, but he glanced at the girl lying on the sofa reading a book instead, and decided to try how she could endure the sweetness to the end.

The aroma of cream soup could be smelled in the clean and warm rental room, which was what Amis tried to make after asking what to have for dinner.

Jason's eyes flickered for a while.

It's almost like a dream, right?

It's like he's alive.

The girl on the sofa heard the timer go off, got up and ran to the kitchen.

Jason felt like he forgot something just now, what did he forget?

It wasn't until Amis came out with the cream soup that he realized... By the way, half of her life skills are completed by search engines.

Did she also learn it from the encyclopedia when she made the soup just now?

But Jason saw that the color of the soup was normal milky white, and the smell was also normal smooth.She seems to be a strong learner and doesn't seem to be broken.

"How about a taste?" Amis handed him a bowl.

Jason took a sip.

... He felt that he missed the candy just now.

Jason swallowed the soup with difficulty. He covered his mouth, thinking about how to tell her that he would cook in the future.

"Why is it a bit bitter?" Amis also took a sip, and after asking she tasted it again, she asked in surprise, "Shouldn't this soup be sweet!?"

How would Jason know?Putting salt as sugar will not taste like this.

He didn't want to question her learning speed, but for this situation, he could only say: "Next time you buy something, I'll cook."

Amis hurriedly took out a pack of twist candies to remedy the situation, and she took out one for him, wanting him to relieve the bitter taste on his tongue.

Jason took it without looking at it, but... he didn't see the half of the black Skittles in his hand until he ate half of it.

The base of his tongue, which was originally bitter, gradually felt a strange taste like eating spices. Jason's expression was numb, and he didn't know whether he should swallow it or not.

…Next time you meet someone selling your black licorice-flavored Skittles, tell me who it is and let me kill him, okay?
