Still afraid of humans other than Qiong Xing, Cari tried to put distance between them little by little.
But without stopping him, the old woman walked into the field, picked a few tomatoes, and handed them to him.
"You're hungry, aren't you? If you don't mind, please have these."
"...… "
He was hungry.
He really was, but he hesitated, unsure whether it was okay to simply eat something given by a frightening human.
Not knowing whether he would be scolded for eating it, or scolded for not eating it, he froze in place. Then he felt something rustling inside his bag.
"Mayo?"
Just as he reached toward the bag to see what was wrong...
"Cari! Cari, where are you?!"
"Mama, Mama!"
He quickly run toward the voice and saw his Mama looking strangely disheveled.
His usually beautiful silver hair was messy and his clothes were so covered in mud it looked like he had come through who knew where.
With sweat on his brow, Mama rushed over toward him.
