“Jeff, isn’t it time you just gave up?”

“Ugh…”

I lay face down on the floor, groaning.

The moment I thought about going outside, I was suddenly flat on the floor, unable to do anything.

“It’s already been an hour. Come eat some delicious snacks with me.”

“I hate it!!!”

I tried hard to ignore the sweet smell of cookies that tickled my nose.

How can you trust that sex offender?

There must be medicine in those cookies.

The moment I take a bite, I’ll fall asleep, and after that, something terrible will happen to me. It was certain.

I sighed and got up from my seat.

Because I stopped even thinking about going outside, my body was able to move.

“What on earth are Kelly White’s powers?”

“My mother?”

“Yeah.”

“Um…”

Crunch crunch.

Lily was crunching her cookies deliciously while thinking about my question.

I swallowed the saliva that had collected at the corner of my mouth and waited for Lily’s answer.

“It’s a secret.”

I frowned at Lily’s answer.

I felt like an idiot for having had so many expectations.

Lily smiled slightly at me and offered me some snacks.

I looked at the sight and became lost in thought.

Is Lily really 50 years old?

It was hard to believe that she was 50 years old with the appearance of a small girl.

Of course, I had a little friend named Rain, but she was still in her twenties.

It means that it is an age where one can grow sufficiently.

In contrast, Lily, who is 50 years old, is at an age where her growth plates have already closed and her bones are beginning to erode.

So, it had to have an old feeling that couldn’t be hidden.

“Is Lily really 50 years old?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I crossed my arms in response.

It was clear that he was lying.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Are you sure? I’ll show you my citizenship.”

Lily fumbled with her arms as if to prove to me that what she said was right.

In the hand Lily took out like that, there was a pure white citizenship certificate.

“Oh, really…”

What Lily said was true.

Of course, this is assuming that you did not forge your citizenship.

I sat down on the floor weakly.

Lily must have felt sorry to see me like that, so she got up from her seat, brought a small chair, and placed it next to me.

“If you sit on the floor, your butt will get dirty. Sit there.”

“Lily is kind…”

“Yes, I am a good kid.”

“50 year olds are usually not considered children.”

“Am I cute?”

I nodded absentmindedly at the sight of Lily poking my cheeks cutely in response to my words.

It was definitely cute.

Enough to make me want to bite the ball and shake it.

I sit on the chair Lily brought me and just blankly pass the time.

Amy, Shine, and Lane will be worried, what should I do?

I took out my cell phone.

A sign appeared on the screen saying “Out of Call Area”.

No text messaging, no phone calls, no internet.

“Hoo…”

“Don’t just sigh. Eat some delicious snacks.”

Lily kept offering me sweets.

I glared at the cookies on the table in front of Lily.

It definitely looked delicious.

I’ve never seen a snack like that on the market, so I thought it was probably handmade.

“Did Lily make it?”

“Oh my, how did you know?”

Lily was startled by my words, and her eyes began to sparkle.

I looked at that sight and a small smile came to my mind.

It seemed like I could escape from here if I used Lily.

The moment I thought that, I fell flat on the floor again.

“Ugh…”

“Are you trying to go out again?”

I can’t even think as I please.

It was a very scary place.

I stood up, catching my breath.

“Can I try some cookies?”

“Like!”

Lily smiled happily and held the cookie out.

I looked at the cookie with a dubious expression.

Is it okay to eat it?

Still, he reached out his hand in the direction where Lily was eating wildly.

I don’t think there was any medicine in the food he was eating.

The moment I put the cookie in my mouth and chewed it, a sweet scent filled my mouth.

“It’s delicious…”

I muttered blankly.

When the finely broken cookie crumbs meet saliva and melt gently, a hidden fragrance emerges.

“Really?”

“Yeah…”

“Wow~”

Lily jumped up from her seat at my words and waved her hands wildly in delight.

The sight of her so excited is so cute that I can’t help but smile.

No, this is not it.

I shook my head to collect my thoughts.

First of all, it’s a compliment.

I became really close with Lily.

After we became close…

Will do it.

Yeah, that’s it.

At this point, I thought it would be okay not to lie flat on the floor.

“Lily, hey. Do you like drawing?”

“A drawing? Of course I like it!”

Lily ran to the corner of the room at my words.

What she took out was a large canvas and various paints.

Looking at the preparations for such a full-fledged painting, I gaped in amazement.

“Other than that, don’t you have any crayons or sketchbooks?”

“Um. I have one that I used when I was young. Just a moment.”

After saying that, Lily put down what she had been holding on the floor and ran back to the corner.

What he took out were very pretty crayons and a large sketchbook.

Only then did I get up from my seat and extend my hand with a confident expression.

“Want to play and draw with me?”

“Oh my… Really? Are you playing with me?”

“Of course.”

“Wow wow wow…”

Lily nodded with a trembling gaze, as if she was touched by my words.

I squinted my eyes at the sight.

Is Lily really 50 years old?

It seemed like his actual age was younger than me.

I spread out my sketchbook on the table.

As I brought the chair closer and sat down close to her, Lily also moved her chair next to me.

“Draw something Lily likes.”

“Yes.”

Lily reached out to me and took a crayon in her hand.

I watched Lily’s hands closely.

Her small, delicate hands were not much different from mine.

There were no calluses, so it was clearly a child’s hand.

What Lily drew was a big bear.

A bear sitting with a happy expression and eating an apple.

“How is it?”

“That’s really cool.”

“Hehehe-”

Lily gave me a small laugh at my words and held out a crayon to me.

“This time, Jeff, please draw it.”

I reached out and quickly grabbed the crayon.

It was my turn to show off my skills.

I started to focus more than ever.

Draw the body in green, and add the dinosaur’s sharp claws, fingernails, and teeth in white.

Add some nice wings to its back, and draw some horns and protrusions on its back.

The sight of the complete dinosaur that was born that way was so majestic that even I could feel awe at it.

“How is it?”

“Amazing!!!”

Lily cheered when she saw my picture.

I scratched my cheek and avoided eye contact, receiving a better response than I expected.

No one in the headquarters recognized my wonderful paintings, but here I met someone who knew about art.

It was truly a pity.

If he weren’t a sex offender, I think I could have him as my friend.

So Lily and I played and drew for a long time.

Lily had a smile on her face as if she was having a great time.

It seemed like it was about time.

I thought as I looked at Lily’s smiling face.

Now it had to be done.

I swallowed dry saliva and opened my mouth carefully.

“Lily, is there anywhere else we can play besides here?”

“Where can I play?”

“Yeah. That’s because I want to play ball.”

“Oh my… A ball game? Is that a game that two people can play?”

“Then, it’s more fun if two people do it.”

“Just a minute!”

Lily ran to the corner at my words.

What I took out this time was a large ball.

Lily ran toward me, holding a ball the size of her head in her arms, and handed the ball to me with a bright smile.

“Come on! Play ball!”

“Hmm. But it seems like it’ll be hard here?”

“Huh?”

“Well, if the ball bounces around and breaks a window or decoration, it’s a big problem.”

“Oh… I see. Then shall we go out to the garden?”

“Is that so?”

Lily stamped her feet and reached out her hand to me, as if she wanted to play ball quickly.

I took Lily’s hand and left the room.

As I was leaving the room and opening my mouth in admiration at the sight of the wide hallway that unfolded before me, Lily grabbed my hand and urged me on.

Go down the long hallway and down the stairs.

The moment I reached the last hallway, opened the door, and went outside, I covered my eyes with my hand from the strong sunlight.

“Ugh…”

“Dazzling…”

Lily also seemed to be blinded by the light, as she clung to my back to avoid the light.

As my vision adjusted to the light, I quickly scanned my surroundings.

The high sky, slowly flowing clouds, intense sunlight, and even the large wall and magnificent main gate.

I looked beyond the main gate.

A wide open road was visible, and across it stood a large house that looked similar to Lily’s house.

I sighed in relief at the sight.

I was worried that the Resistance’s headquarters might be in another space, but it seemed like my worries were for nothing.

“Come on! Let’s play ball quickly!”

Lily grabbed my hand and said, “Let’s play ball quickly.”

I pretended not to win and was dragged by her to the garden of the mansion.

I am impressed by the neatly trimmed trees and beautiful flower beds that seem to be well maintained.

The large fountain in the middle of the garden also created a wonderful atmosphere.

Tsk tsk-

Little birds fly in and sit on the fountain to drink water.

Lily looked at the sight, then walked closer and held out her hand.

The birds flew away at the sight of Lily.

Lily frowned.

It’s really cute.

Should I just kidnap her?

no.

Then it was clear that Shine would get in trouble.

I shook my head and shouted at Lily.

“Lily! Throw the ball!”

“Oh. Yes!”

Lily was startled by my words and threw the ball.

Yay! The ball flying with a small sound was so slow.

It’s incomparable to playing ball with Shine or Rain.

But now I had to accommodate Lily.

I caught the ball and then threw it with a similar feeling to Lily.

“Hey!”

Whirilirik-

The ball, which was spinning quickly, flew straight towards Lily.

puck!

Lily caught the ball.

I mean, with your face.

Lily was hit in the face with a ball and fell backwards.

“Ouch. Lily!”

I ran to Lily in surprise.

I never thought I wouldn’t be able to handle this speed.
