But, we always saw the human ugliest part. You saw it too. If there is someone who changes here, it is you.” I just stared at him, doing my best to understand him.

He never thought that hearing his surname is quite painful.That's when he set his usual poker face."Why did you resign three years ago, is it because I ask you about the cool off?"

After an hour…I look at the moon shining in the sky.It lightens the whole land even the shadows hide from it.Shier gently put me down on the top of the stone. I want to laugh because even a painter can not draw his face.Shier was annoyed because he was excited about what the herbal leaves looked like. It comes to the point that Shier grabs every leaf he saw and shows it to me.Since it is not what I am looking for, I rejected it.“Stop laughing.”“Hahaha… sorry I can’t help it.”“Hah… What kind of leave are we looking for? Why is it so hard to find?” He scratches his head while looking for other leaves.I can't help but smile, I never thought that there was a moment like this with Shier.He acts like a child with his frowned face under the beautiful night sky. Even the firefly happily dances in the wind.I looked at the sky and noticed that the cloud in the black sky hid the moonlight on the vast land.For that moment, I was blind.My eyes widened when someone touched my ankle and
