After Coincidentally Saving the New Transfer Student’s Little Sister, We Gradually Grew Closer

"Your name, can you say it?

When I reached the frightened girl, I sat back and smiled.

The girl stares me in the face like a surprise, but when she returns to me hah, she retreats roughly.

But I was already at the wall, so I hit the wall tongue-in-cheek right away.

When I realize I can't retract anymore, the girl starts to move left along the wall without taking her gaze off my face.

She moves cleverly inside.

I guess you're going to keep opening your distance from me like this and run off with a dash when the distance opens up to some extent.

Again, there are differences in physique around which children think, so they can catch even if the distance is opened up immediately.

But it's not good to make them remember to run away here.

'- It's okay,' cause I'm not angry. Let's have a little chat with your brother. '

To make her understand that she couldn't escape, I stuffed the distance the girl had opened in an instant and smiled and talked to her again.

The girl has been staring at my face in tears from her eyes when she finds out she can't escape, but her face is completely frightened.

This won't get to this kid no matter what I say.

First I slowly reached out to the girl to create a situation where I could talk.

The girl meditates and shrinks her eyes so that she can catch something.

Maybe he thinks he's gonna get slapped for doing something wrong.

Naturally, I didn't reach out to the girl to slap her.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so frightened."

I stroke my head gently and politely to remove frightening emotions from the girl.

Then the girl roughly opened her eyes and stared me in the face with her would-be eyes.

It would feel like I'm checking to see if I'm really not mad.

So I smiled gently.

"Your name, can you say it?

".................. Claire......"

Did you forgive my heart a little, the girl named me 'Claire'?

"Claire, right?

'... yeah...'

I'm a bright man. Nice to meet you.

"Akihito..."

By introducing myself first, I decided to pack my vacant distance.

If you ask questions unilaterally, this kid will just be scared, and things like today will happen again unless we talk properly.

Instead of always having me or Shall, I can barely actually be in this nursery.

I'll pick the anxious buds while they're at it so Emma doesn't have to run into hard eyes anymore.

"Does Claire like cats?

"Yeah......"

'So, you wanted Emma to lend you a cat stuffed animal?

"..........................................................................."

Claire only answers my question 'yeah', but on the contrary, she answers me properly.

The slow response to what you wanted me to lend you was that you probably thought you'd be pissed off if you nodded.

But I never get angry.

Because it's not uncommon for little kids to want what other kids have, and kids grow up going through these things.

'Oh well... but you can't try to force me to take your friend's, can you?

Conscious of only a kind voice, I teach Claire nothing.

Claire seemed to understand that she had done nothing, too, and she honestly nodded at me.

I thought he was a little more stubborn because he said he made an arrangement until he got stuffed ears, but as far as this goes, he's surprisingly honest.

I don't think I know I've done anything wrong, and I don't think I need to be cautious.

- Nevertheless, I thought this was more troublesome.

If you don't recognize what you can't do, you can explain it so that you know what you can't do.

But this kid has moved on to action, even though he knows he can't.

I think it affects the fact that the emotional saving unique to young children is not advantageous.

In that case, even if I made him understand here, he would do the same thing if he were in a similar situation.

Emotions don't make any sense.

Well, what are we gonna do...

I'll put my hand on my mouth and think about what I can do to keep this kid from trying to force me to take things from the other kids anymore.

Then Emma got a cat stuffed animal in her eyes with one ear removed that she cherished.

... Is it worth a try?

A plan came to mind to look at a cat stuffed animal, and I'm going to pick up a cat stuffed animal that's rolling on the floor.

And when I picked it up, I even went back to Claire with that stuffed animal.

"Cat, do you say it hurts to hang on to your ear?

It's a stuffed animal, so I can't really talk, but I tell Claire as if the cat stuffed animal was about to complain.

Claire looks like she's about to cry again when she sees a cat plush with one ear removed.

The kid is pure, so I guess he looks really sore if it's a stuffed animal by analogy.

'... cat... sorry... sorry...'

With her little hands, Claire begins to stroke her ears more carefully.

Meanwhile, he was crying and apologizing for the stuffed animal over and over again.

I feel it would be more heartfelt to let a young child remember the pain of things this way than just to be angry.

After that, just one more push and you're relieved.

"The cat with the ears off is crying that it hurts, but Emma is crying that it hurts just as much when she almost stole something important. So you can't do this anymore, can you?

I don't know how much I understand the words I said at Claire's age.

Plus I got a little foot color.

It's how much it resonates in this kid's heart after that - maybe, it'll be okay.

"Claire... to Emma too... I'm sorry. I'm coming..."

Even if I didn't say anything, Claire told me she would apologize to Emma from herself.

Most would be shaping apologies for caring about her physique, if adults were to say so, but I can't think of anything like shaping for this young kid.

From the bottom of my heart, I think I have to apologize to Emma for what she said.

'Yeah, okay. Then why don't we go apologize to Emma together? "

'Ah... yeah...!

Speaking with a smile, Claire nodded well.

I've been holding hands for some reason trying to get to Emma, maybe because I told her to come with me.

Me and Claire were going back to Emma talking to Shall about something together.
