She eats a lot of everything. She eats a lot of meals and also eats a lot of sweets. But why is she so small?
While thinking so, the little child got up, put her hand on her belly and bowed down.
âThank you for the meal, Iâll be on my way.â
She didnât talk to me, she just ate and suddenly said she was going to leave.
Why donât you express that you like me when you like me! I mean, come on! The little child was acting fine, but I got impatient on my own. The person who liked the other first would lose! So why!
I jumped up and stood in front of the little child. I should have said something, but I had to tell her to show that she likes me. But I was too shy to say anything. Then when I thought the little child would just leave, I finally shouted.
âHey, if you want to hit me, you can hit me!â
Did I say it too clearly? The little child looked dazed. What is it, canât you understand what Iâm saying?
âCome on, slap me on the cheek!â
Then the little childâs expression changed moment by moment. She looked rather ambiguous to like me. Why! Why! Then, the little child quietly backed away with a surprised look on his face. I thought she liked me, so I tried to follow along! I thought she liked me first! I was furious at the kidâs evading behavior.
âWhy all of a sudden?â
Then, the little child muttered like she doesnât know anything. I got disappointed at the little child who said she liked me first but didnât express it further. I wanted her to show a little more attention. I wanted her to express that she liked me a little more.
âItâs you!â
Why canât you understand? How can I say it directly with my mouth! Hurry up and say that you like me! I hated the feeling of fretting on my own. Why are you so dull when youâre the one who confessed to me first!
But unlike me, the little childâs face was so bright.
âUgh! I donât know!â
In the end, I cried out and ran away. The anticipated tea time ended in vain without receiving a confession again.
The next tea time was the same. The little childâs demeanor didnât change. Is she just trying to eat the snacks and then leave? I was a year older so I had to put up with it, but I was saddened by the little childâs indifference.
âWhy arenât you hitting me?â
When the little child said she was going back, I couldnât stand it and asked why she wasnât expressing her interest. The little child pretended to know nothing again. I was confused as to whether she really couldnât understand me or whether she wanted to give me more attention and affection. I was nervous because I was afraid that the little child would change her feelings quickly.
âWhy donât you hit me!â
âBecause I donât want to hit you!â
Perhaps the little child was flustered now, she shouted, blushing. I was really surprised when I tried to yell out âIâm fine with itâ that I didnât know what to do.
Has the little child changed her mind, already? Even though she was young, how can a personâs heart change so easily? I was choked up. The little child was mean. It was sadder than when Father scolded me.
âWhy, why donât you hit me?â
I widened my eyes so as not to show my ugly crying face.
âIâm not going to hit you like that!â
But the little child was shouting with a reddened face? I was taken aback and didnât know what to do. Did she feel like I was pushing too hard? Is that why she was so lost?
âSo you donât hit carelessly?â
âYes! Itâs not like that! It is something special to save.â
At the end, she even spoke quite coyly. She was confident when she confessed first in front of the adults. So I donât know why sheâs so shy when weâre together. And even though she was trying to save it.
âIâm, Iâm specialâ¦â
Even though I am someone she likes enough to confess when there are people. I want more expressions of affection right now.
âI see.â
I struggled to put up with my impatient heart. I decided to wait patiently. Right now, the little child is shy, so sheâll be anxious to hit me first. Hng! Then she will hit me then ran. Because the little child likes me more.
They say that men who are too burdensome are not attractive. Iâm a charming and well-mannered person, so I will wait.
