I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

In this game, Eric lost.

Although everyone told him in advance when the rules of the game were changed, somehow he became the target of being chased by the audience——

However, from the moment he subconsciously jumped down and caught Kony who was floating in mid-air.

The young man suddenly realized that he was indeed the loser in this round.

Not for anything else, just because at that moment just now, Eric came to his senses.

Whether it is the emotional ups and downs affected by the "past", or the taboos and distractions from the "past" have nothing to do with the child, it is quite meaningless behavior.

Being completely led by the nose, so that his will was seriously overwhelmed... This is obviously the thing he hates the most.

Eric finally stopped.

The little girl who caught it firmly was very obedient.

She is a bit introverted on weekdays, but Kony is not stingy at all in hiding her friendliness and love for the people she likes.

"Thank you, I almost fell down." The little blond girl blinked, showing a slightly shy smile, but she still opened her big pure eyes, and asked innocently, "Brother Sled, Don't you like Coney?"

"Big Brother Sled" was probably stuck by this thoughtless question, so that he didn't object to tying himself to "Sled" in the first place.

It is impossible for Eric to say "like" or "dislike" directly.

Personally, he would have given the latter answer simply and neatly, but in the face of Kony, both options can only be regrettably skipped.

So he didn't answer, just bent down on his own, trying to put the little girl who could stand on her own on the ground.

"In the beginning, big brother gave back to Kony and gave everyone presents, but I don't see you often in the future."

"Is big brother unhappy?"

Suddenly hearing such direct and innocent childish words, Eric's brows twitched slightly, but he didn't intend to say anything more.

Kokoni's offensive has not yet come to an end.

She then said, "If Kony accidentally made big brother angry, wouldn't it be..."

"stop!"

Eric could no longer pretend not to hear.

He gave up on putting the little girl on the ground halfway, and then lifted her up again, making his eyes level with his own.

"Who taught you these words, Saitama? There will be no one else, but that guy Saitama."

"Hey?"

"Using such a despicable trick... Do you think that this will make me admit defeat!"

"It's none of your business", it's too cold to say it.

And some words that touch the bottom of his heart are inconvenient and impossible to say from his mouth.

Eric said that he would not admit defeat, but in fact, he had already lost.

——After all, no matter how cold-hearted (actually not cold at all) a person will be moved when he hears an innocent girl take non-existent mistakes on her, no matter how injustice.

"..."

Cracks appear in the shell covering the surface of the heart, which widens the gap further.

It was also because what he saw touched the deepest crack in his subconscious, which made him ignore his true heart and foolishly fell into the vortex of not knowing whether it was a magical obstacle or not.

Realized in hindsight, it sucks.

Still, it was better than continuing this intolerable paranoia for a little longer.

"Ok?"

The lifted little blond girl tilted her head. In her not-so-intelligent world, complicated thoughts certainly do not exist.

Because of this, the girl's eyes are as bright as mirrors, as if they can cleanse the complicated hearts of others.

Indeed, quite….

Haven't you already said it?Looking at it calmly and without prejudice of rejection, this cub is quite【】.

【】, that's right—it's pretty cute, let's go!

Kony probably couldn't tell that the expression of the silver-haired elder brother who raised his hand high changed several times. Although it was just a slight twitch of the eyelids and a slight twitch of the corner of the mouth, the inner changes were quite rich.

and so.

"..."

"..."

"Sorry—did I scare you?"

This time, he finally managed to bend down and put Connie on the ground.

Due to the movement of bending over, the little flower that was placed by the little girl's ear with great joy before swayed out, and immediately lost its support, and fell lightly.

Coney: "Huh?"

The little girl was a little confused again, maybe she didn't know why Big Brother Xue wanted to say sorry.

The flowers are lying at the feet, and after this sharpening, the delicate petals are a bit messy.

Connie's attention was temporarily diverted, but Eric noticed a certain detail.

The few purple flowers that fell on the ground looked different from the wild flowers that often appeared in the grass.

Have you ever seen wildflowers like this before?Never noticed, can't remember.

If you insist on thinking about it, you will feel that you may have seen almost the same type of "wildflower", so that your ability to distinguish is confused.

However, it shouldn't be worth pondering.

Thinking of this, Eric stopped being distracted.

Regardless of whether Kony understood it or not, he didn't intend to say anything more, but he was going to say concisely: "The game is over, and you should go back..."

"—It's not over yet, we've found a flaw!"

"!"

Perhaps, he did relax his vigilance in front of the little girl because he felt guilty.

The impeccable copper wall and iron wall showed half a gap in a short moment, and because of this, someone who had planned long ago seized the gap and smashed it down in one fell swoop.

All of a sudden, the strong wind blew up the broken flowers and dead leaves that had been safely spread on the ground, and also carried countless gravel and soil.

——Finally set the tone again.

As if a section of time had been cut, accompanied by the silence, the boy's hair was blown upside down by the strong wind and fell silently.

He patted Fear Coney on the head with lightning speed, and then, the super baby put his hand, which had shrunk several sizes, on Eric's shoulder.

Until this moment, the "ghost" caught the last two remaining people, and the game of hide-and-seek was officially over.

Eric: "...Haven't the rules been changed?!"

Baby Kusuo: "Is there? What have you changed? Sorry, I don't know."

Eric: "Fuck."

Just when he was so shocked by the despicability of his friends that he had nothing to say, a voice called from not far away:

"K-Ni-"

"where are you--"

It seems that the large army who knew the game was over came here.

"Come on over."

"Huh? Sage, Brother Sled, won't you go find everyone with Connie?"

"Kony, you go first."

This time, the cute little girl seemed to understand a little bit.

Sai Qi and Big Brother Sled seem to have a little secret to communicate in private. She is a good child, so she can't disturb them.

The long-tailed sound was answered, and the little blond girl happily ran away.

The two people who stayed alone watched her go away, they could have continued to stand where they were, and said something casually.

However, there was one person who expressed his opinion after a short silence: "What kind of weird atmosphere is this, and there is no quarrel or awkwardness, as for?"

"That's right, I think so too, it's all Saitama—it's nothing. Anyway, I just remembered something, so just talk about it."

Therefore, the two people who had never quarreled or had any quarrels, and at most had different ideas and concealed things, reached a consensus and moved their positions to a place that one of them was most familiar with.

Nothing but the only roof here.

A teenager who looks like twelve or thirteen years old and a baby who looks like one or two years old are sitting upright on the ridge of the roof. This rather weird scene finally reappeared after many days.

There is no need for deliberate foreshadowing, and the conversation can be opened up very naturally.

"I admit that I have concealed a lot of things, including the truth of this world."

"Well, you can tell if you don't say it."

"There are others."

"you say.

"I used superpowers to modify the 'setting' of this world once, but because I'm not sure whether the 'that' effect will still appear, I can't fully confess it yet, sorry."

"This is also something that has been seen a long time ago. I thought it was something. Oh, the people who saw it did not include Saitama."

"——Why didn't you include me! You two have a secret thing, and I—— found out early!"

"Come out of nowhere, you'll be there when you say it!"

That's right, someone who was unwilling to be left out also came and sat down on the old seat on Eric's right.

At the same time, Eric's shoulders sank in one direction, which made him want to knock away the paws that he had set up on his own and pressed hard.

"Tell me, what did you find?" Baby Kusuo was the first to ask.

"Just a question for you." Eric did not show any weakness: "What do you think of the forest opposite the orphanage, Saitama?"

Sure enough, Saitama, who hadn't seen the key truth at all: "What?"

"Isn't a forest just a forest? It's very ordinary. Except for the trees, there are only small animals running around."

Saitama pondered: "I went there a few times a few days ago and brought back two rabbits, but I don't know why the rabbits suddenly disappeared... Wait, it's not like you two secretly ate them behind my back! Hello!"

The man who felt that he had discovered a shocking secret was shocked and excited.

He looked at the two friends with suspicion and condemnation in his eyes, as if to say, it's fine to eat the rabbit quietly, but he didn't bring him to eat with him!

however.

His best friends looked at each other and exchanged messages that only the two of them knew.

In the blink of an eye afterward, all the eyes cast on him turned out to be speechless white eyes.

"I knew that you really forgot, you even forgot, so what are you talking about!"

"What did I forget?"

"It's nothing, just forget that you are an idiot."

"what???"

"Eric, you are too much. What Saitama forgot is obviously-he still owes me three hundred cups of coffee jelly."

Saitama: "..."

Saitama: "Who is more over the top? Am I angry? So what, are you guys just sitting there like this and not going to explain to me? Damn it! I'm really angry!"

On this day, Saitama still hasn't revealed what he doesn't know from his friends.

However, although basically no useful information was exposed, it was not completely without gain.

The childish cross talk trio that turned into elementary school students quarreling in minutes when speaking - with such a long funny prefix, they are back again.

Childish is childish.

As long as you trust each other completely, is there anything wrong?

Oh, I almost forgot one thing.

Eric seemed to think about it a lot in the end, and finally revealed to his friends his true thoughts that he couldn't get over it for a while.

The accident has less to do with the children, and more to do with—

"That guy...is really bad!"

"Who? You in the past before amnesia?"

"Shameless."

"What?"

"Hateful! Disgusting! It pissed me off!"

"Hey?"

Just when my friends were shocked, I didn't know how to comfort them or where to start.

The silver-haired boy who lowered his head and squeezed his fists loudly thought of the shame, and couldn't bear it any longer, his complexion turned even redder.

"Unexpectedly, let a teenage girl stay up late every day to approve official documents, and take a five-year-old kid to go to the tavern to drink every day, steal other people's drinks and run away without paying..."

"This guy... this guy! It's too embarrassing for me!!!"

……

……

"—So what have you been struggling with these days?!"
