You: “So that’s the homeless guy? What are you doing here?”
Girl: “Observe.”
You: “Observe what?”
Girl: “Observe.”
The girl was brief and to the point.
You thought about it, took out a candy from your pocket and gave it to the girl, saying proudly: "Look what this is? It's a reward from the village chief."
The girl lowered her head and stared at the candy for a while. "Polyhydroxy aldehydes, polyhydroxy ketones, and organic compounds that can be hydrolyzed to form polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. They are the main source of energy required for all living organisms to maintain life activities."
You are stunned.
What kind of perspective is this?
"I don't need to supplement this substance." The girl said lightly.
"Here you go."
"I don't need..."
Before the girl could finish her sentence, you stuffed the candy into her mouth.
Those glass-like eyes widened slightly, and the sweetness in the mouth quickly melted away.
"Now answer it again, what is this?" you said with a smile.
"Polyhydroxy aldehydes..." said the girl.
“No, no, no.” You wiped the melted sugar off your fingertips. “I mean, how does it taste?”
The girl covered her cheek and remained silent for a while.
Just when you thought she wasn't going to answer, she spoke softly.
“Sweet.”
“…Sweet.”
…
When you were sixteen, you saw her again.
She was still sitting in the field, her face unchanged, as if time had left no trace on her.
You squeezed the rice cake candy in your pocket, walked over and handed it to her.
"......?" The girl's silent eyes were like a frozen lake.
"It's sweet, for you to eat." you said.
"Sweet." The girl put the rice cake candy into her mouth and nodded.
You then laugh.
"This is the candy for sacrifice. Your parents asked you to offer it to the altar of the Mother Goddess today, but you gave it to me." The girl suddenly said.
Your heart tightened. This piece of rice cake candy is indeed a sacrificial item, but when you thought of Klar who starved to death, your heart was filled with anxiety, so when you passed by the altar, you did not put it in.
You don't want to offer the only delicious food in your house to a god who doesn't pay any attention to mortals.
“It’s okay.” You squatted down: “You like sweet food, I’ll give you something sweet.”
The girl was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"——You are trying to please me."
Your eyes moved slightly.
"As early as when you were ten years old, you were full of scheming. When you saw a little girl like me who suddenly appeared, you realized that my identity must be extraordinary, so you deliberately tried to bribe me with small favors." said the girl.
You blinked and suddenly admitted with a smile:
"Um."
"I'm just a scheming kid, and I want to bribe you. If I get into any trouble in the future, maybe you can help me out for the sake of candy."
"So, sweet?"
The smile on your face is so pure, just like a natural black sesame dumpling. People know that you have some secret thoughts, but are still confused by your gentleness.
"Sweet." The girl nodded.
She left again, like a gust of wind in the world.
You look at her back.
The sun and wind move, but the heart does not stop.
