"Hmm, um!... Yoshina, did you see...?"

Without any thought, Yoshino nodded vigorously and asked nervously.

"This... I'm sorry, I didn't see the body in the trash can, nor did I see similar news. The city seems to be in good order recently."

"...Yitina...Where are you going, where are you...Ugh..."

The negative answer made Yoshino, who was in a bad state of mind after losing his hand puppet, swayed between fantasy and reality, tilting again to the reality of losing his only friend, and tears filled his eyes again.

"You're really...don't be like this, come on, this is for you."

Yong Ye, who was squatting in front of Yoshino, saw that the child was about to cry after disagreeing, so he simply took out white chocolate and handed it to her.

"Don't cry when you eat."

"...Ah...this, is...?"

"The white chocolate I mentioned last time is very sweet, do you want to try it?"

"..."

Yong Ye's strange proposal made Yoshino stop crying temporarily, and cautiously reached out his hand to take it, but he didn't dare to take it, just like the hamburger Yong Ye gave her back then, like a timid little animal.

This made Yong Ye a little unbearable for this slow approach, so he simply grabbed her hand and put the chocolate on top of the girl's exclamation.

The timid girl withdrew her hand, looked at the chocolate on her palm, and under Yongye's gaze... turned her back, and then began to peel off the outer packaging of the chocolate.

"...so sweet..."

"It tastes good, right? If I'm not mistaken, kids your age love something like this."

"Uh-huh……"

Not knowing how to express her feelings in words, Yoshino just nodded continuously and still didn't turn around.

"...Although I'm not the person you expect, and my appearance may disappoint you, but...I really have no intention of hurting you, can you believe me?"

Looking at the girl with her back turned to him, Yong Ye knew very well that she was afraid of being hurt, but she was not dissatisfied with her excessively guarded behavior. to lift her defenses.

"...I...work hard, believe..."

Yoshino, who had her back turned to Yong Ye, didn't know what she was thinking, but Yong Ye noticed her and nodded lightly after hesitating.

This unexpected change made Yong Ye feel a little relieved, because according to his judgment, this time was indeed the best chance to gain trust.

When people are nervous and helpless, it is easy to believe in people who are willing to express kindness in this world, especially children who are desperate and have no support.

Although Yong Ye feels that it is a bit despicable for him to deliberately choose this timing, there is no way to do it. Who makes this child too vigilant, and rashly approaching it will only be counterproductive, and he is almost closing his heart. It will only get twice the result with half the effort, or even completely useless effort.

...

Yoshino's situation, after careful study by Yong Ye, can be found that it is basically not much different from the cursed child.

No, she is better than the cursed child, at least she has this powerful power from the beginning and can keep running away, but there are many similarities from the standpoint.

Judging from her mental state and behavior, there is no place to go back, and the person who can rely on other than Yoshina may die directly.

It may be the unfortunate beginning of Yoshino when a person becomes an elves. The specific Yongye is not very clear, but now he is more or less curious about elves, special life forms in this world.

Of course, there is sympathy for the girl Yoshino, including Tohka's hope, so he plans to help her.

In this closed space, where there is no outside interference, Yong Ye talked a lot with the girl, and after careful testing, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the girl's head.

Yoshino's body trembled instinctively, but after she lowered her head, there was no more movement, allowing Yong Ye to touch her head as gently as possible.

"...Speaking of which, are you waiting for Yoshina, your hero? Do you have any impression of where she went? Is she also an elf? I might be able to help you find it."

"Where she, she... should be, I've found all..."

When it came to Yoshina, Yoshino lowered his head in frustration. It seemed that he had already searched for everything he could find, but he still couldn't find it, which is why he was so depressed as he is now.

"Is that so? That's really disturbing."

"Uh-huh……"

"Are you going to give up?"

"...No, no! Yoshina is...waiting for me!"

Yoshino's eyes widened, and she kept shaking her head.

"...Although I'm a little concerned, why is she waiting for you, not you, but forget it...Compared to this kind of thing, it's not good for you to stay here all the time, how about it, do you want to go somewhere else with me? place?"

Yong Ye wanted to pay attention to this unclear situation, but he felt that it was better to not care so much about the situation now, because he could feel that Origami had used the random field to support the house and fly.

If there was no accident, he probably wanted to lift the house up and drop it from above. It was relatively small for this size, but it was Yoshino in the highly concentrated blizzard that caused damage.

Although he smashed the house in the blizzard when it fell, there will definitely be other attempts in the future. He understands Origami's hatred for elves, and he knows that Origami will never be discouraged by this blizzard. Not going forward, in this way, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is naturally better to leave here first.

"And, again... a hotel?"

"Is it not good?"

"...that kind of place...not good!"

I don't know what to think, Yoshino's blushing face rejected Yong Ye's proposal that felt the best.

"...I personally feel it's okay, but it's fine if you don't like it, but where are you going?"

"I do not know……"

"Don't say you don't know at this time."

"Yes, sorry..."

As if being reprimanded by Yong Ye, Yoshino was frightened, her shoulders shivered suddenly, her body shrank, and she looked even smaller.

"...I'm not scolding you, I'm just complaining a little bit."

This timid appearance made Yong Ye scratch his head a little bit nervously, and gave new options again.

"How about going to where I live temporarily?"

"Hey, hey?"

This unexpected proposal made Yoshino swallow her saliva forcefully before opening her trembling lips...

"...Go, go to... Mr. Yong Ye's... home?"
