Chapter 2525 Monster

Boys want change.

But I never had enough courage.

However, Xiao Xiao gave him a direction to work towards.

yes.

This is the kind of adult he wants to be.

Don't be impatient, the years will be quiet.

...

"...I am so useless..."

The boy lowered his head, and the aura around him was very low.

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the side of the cup.

There was a slight pain in the fingertips.

...

"You just haven't moved beyond your childhood memories."

That's a euphemism.

To put it more bluntly, boys have not emerged from the shadow of childhood.

First impressions are extremely important.

Its impact is also very "stubborn".

The boy left in his heart the realization that monsters are scary.

Even boys have a conditioned reaction to seeing monsters.

That's fear.

Habitual fear.

Habitual avoidance.

...

It takes a long time to form a habit.

Changing a habit may take longer, determination and courage.

...

"You are not afraid of Philip."

Xiao Xiao reminded the boy of a fact.

Boys are not afraid of all monsters.

This is not surprising.

Philip's appearance is easier to like than to fear.

To put it to the extreme, most people follow their five senses in their three views.

Because he looks good...

Even the monsters he had always been afraid of no longer felt resistance.

...

So all along, many people pursue beautiful or handsome appearance.

It is true that good looks are more likely to attract preference and favoritism.

...

The boy was stunned.

Philipp...

He looked at Philip subconsciously.

Philip returned to the same shape as when he first saw it.

Close your eyes, it seems that you are having a sweet dream.

...

On the snow-white hair, the red lines seemed to glow faintly.

so beautiful.

The boy stared blankly.

...

After a while, the boy suddenly came to his senses.

He blinked.

There was a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"...Philippians are different..."

"It doesn't look weird at all."

"It's not scary either."

...

"...The first time I saw it, it was a small one, lying on the window of the cake shop..."

The boy wanted to explain something.

"It should really want to eat cake..."

...

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Philip loves sweets."

...

really.

The boy looked unsurprised.

"I saw it for a week straight..."

"I hesitated countless times..."

"I'd love to buy him a cake..."

The boy smiled bitterly.

"But... I'm timid."

"Even if it's such a small thing, I think about it all over the place, but I just can't really put it into action."

"After Philip disappeared, I can still vaguely recall the regret I felt at that time."

“…Philippi is different…”

The boy said it again.

Other monsters.

Phoebe is... a beautiful fantasy creature.

In particular, he always felt that the days when he met Philip were like a fairy tale.

The little fox coveted the cake in the window.

The boy watching the little fox across the street.

...

In those days, he was very excited even going to and from school.

Therefore, it also attracted inquiries from parents.

After all, in their impression, the child became more and more timid as he grew up.

They are always shrinking and make them angry just by looking at them.

They don't understand what went wrong?

Why is this child so "crooked"?

...

Seeing that the child was hesitating and unable to come up with a reason, they gave up the investigation impatiently.

...

The excitement in the boy's heart faded a bit.

He was at a loss.

The corners of the eyes are a little red.

But he just rubbed his nose.

He said nothing.

...

Seeing Philip's face pressed against the glass case, he couldn't help laughing.

Children's happiness is simple.

The gloom in his eyes dissipated.

There was a shallow light.

...

"Philip..."

The boy smiled quietly.

"It's good..."

It gave him a lot of happiness.

Even Philip knew nothing about it.

So, it's different.

He never regarded Philip as a monster.

...

"Monsters are just like humans-"

"monster?!"

The boy interrupted Xiao Xiao.

Too surprised, the boy's volume was a little uncontrollable.

...

Xiao Xiao made a silent gesture.

The boy then reacted and covered his mouth.

...

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"Um."

"They are monsters."

...

The boy's eyes widened.

monster......

Of course he knows what a monster is?

, TV series, movies...

There are many monster-themed works.

He had also imagined how interesting monsters would be if they really existed.

turn out to be......

Was it a monster he had been seeing?

Monsters are real.

He never thought of it.

The boy knocked on his head.

monster......

yes.

Such strange creatures are monsters.

Why didn't he think of it in the first place?

Instead, he thought of going to the monster.

...

"Philip is a monster?"

The boy stared at Xiao Xiao's shoulders, which were curled up into a ball.

...

"Um."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

...

The boy opened his mouth wide.

monster......

Are they... all monsters? !

...

"Oh~"

The boy rubbed his cheek.

...

"Monsters are just like people."

Xiao Xiao returned to the previous topic.

"There are good people, there are bad people, there are people who are neither good nor bad."

"And lazy people."

"There are also demons that are close to humans, and demons that are close to humans but far away from them."

"A demon that hates humans."

"Just like there are various types of humans, there are also various types of monsters."

...

Xiao Xiao said slowly.

...

he knows.

The boy pursed his lips.

In this day and age, why doesn't he understand such a simple truth?

But because he always regarded monsters as monsters.

Monsters that need to be destroyed.

When he was a child, he even fantasized about... a hero appearing under the spotlight.

Suddenly, the darkness dissipated.

He was stunned.

The light in his eyes was frightening.

...

Boys never thought they were monsters.

Probably because there are too many related film and television works, monsters give him a gentler feeling.

And the monster...

It's a bit more ferocious and terrifying.

...

Philip was a monster...he believed it.

A smile flashed across the boy's eyes.

It's a monster.

Philip is a monster.

He never found out?

Well......

Who would think of going to the monsters if they didn't know it in advance?

Everyone knows that monsters do not exist.

...

"......Ah."

The boy chuckled softly.
