Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The women that Tian Ying saw just now seemed to be saying, "We are only saying good things, right?" in a smug manner.

(I really don’t understand. I was also an orphan who grew up in an orphanage…)

Tian Ying looked back at her surroundings, and the more she looked back, the more confused she became.

The fact that he was an orphan was certain. He was adopted by the Tian family when he was young, and grew up there like an ordinary son. Even though he was not related by blood, he could live the same life as an ordinary family. This seemed natural.

Then Xu Zhen should also meet this condition - Tian Ying thought so for a moment, but realized that he was thinking in a slightly different direction.

(Oh, that’s right. If Xu Zhen was an ordinary child, it would be fine.)

The main reason is believed to be that Xu Zhen is easy to get close to animals.

Moreover, Xu Zhen never socialized with others. At least from Tian Ying's point of view, he had never seen Xu Zhen playing with his peers like classmates, and it could be said that he had never seen it at all.

People are coordination-seeking creatures. Tian Ying does not think that the idea that society needs to coordinate with others to survive is wrong. On the contrary, it is right. It is taken for granted, given the necessity to smoothly move things forward.

However, it is certain that Xu Zhen is not a collaborative person. He resolutely does not get along with others, but stays with animals. It is even questionable whether he is interested in humans.

However, Xu Zhen did not hesitate. No matter how others viewed him, he persisted in his belief in being with animals. Although he may indeed be a strange person, his strong will and straightforward mentality should be respected.

Tian Ying couldn't help but think so.

(What would have happened if I had summoned the courage to talk to him? Would he have gone to the same school as me? Or…)

In any case, Xu Zhen's disappearance was inevitable. For some reason, this possibility flashed through Tian Ying's mind.

Now he can look at all this relatively calmly, perhaps because he and Xu Zhen are not special friends. They are just people who have known each other since elementary school.

But if this was a friend, how would he feel now?

If he was an indispensable person to spend time with, he might be in sorrow right now. Maybe he couldn't even concentrate on the high school entrance exam.

If that were the case, his life might have been in shambles.

(…What am I thinking about?)

There was no point in thinking about the future anyway. Realizing this, Tian Ying continued to walk forward with a wry smile. Before he knew it, he was close to his destination and could hear the happy voices of the children.

--------------

"Goodbye, teacher!"

"Let's play together tomorrow!"

While waving to the children and the dean who came to see him off, Tian Ying walked to the fork in the road. When he looked up at the darkening residential area, a red cloud floated in the sky.

(They messed me up again today...)

His tired body naturally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Tian Ying was in a good mood. He was busy running around, occupied by various requests and the arbitration of children who started quarreling from time to time, and his hands and feet were never idle.

Although he did not participate in club activities, he returned home exhausted every day. However, on the way home, Tian Ying always had a bright smile on his face.

Every time this happens, Tian Ying actually feels that this is interesting. The kindergarten teacher must feel the same way.

Maybe the innate character is not important, Tian Ying sometimes thinks. It would be nice to become a kindergarten teacher or childcare worker, taking care of children.

It would be best if he could work at the institution he has been going to.

Just as Tian Ying was thinking about this with a smile.

“Woof!”

"Ah, hey, don't be so anxious!"

A little boy being pulled by a naughty dog ​​passed by Tian Ying. Looking back at his back, Tian Ying thought, where would my former classmate Xu Zhen be doing now?

At least, they seemed unaware of each other's existence, and were probably isolated from the rest of the world, surrounded by a large number of animals running freely through the mountains.

(It seems so. If it’s him…)

Tian Ying smiled and set out on the road again. He didn't know that his premonition was not entirely wrong.
