Chapter 97: Shadow (3)
“Do you know when a person feels despair?”
“When they realize that unicorns exist but platypuses don’t?”
“No! It’s when, no matter how hard they try, they can’t move forward! And platypuses do exist!”
“Sure, sure. If Benny says so, then it must be true.”
Even at this moment, inside the Subspace Ring, there lay the tears of a beast whose purpose was unknown, but teasing Benny was fun, so I decided to play dumb.
Watching Benny huff and puff, I extended my hand. Then, the shadow monster stretched its tentacle out and placed a cream pie, which it had taken out from somewhere, onto my hand.
“Oh. Thanks.”
-Growl.
The creature clattered its sharp teeth with a joyful growl. There was one person feeling lonely in a world where I was happy, the shadow was happy, and everyone was happy.
