Scarecrow's Love

The angle at which we got closer

"After the child left, the adults came out to check the crops."

"After checking the crops like that, you looked at me and smiled."

"Oh my~ Did you wear cosmos to decorate the scarecrow too?"

"He said that, put my hat back on, and walked away slowly, carrying my luggage on his back."

"I felt somehow loved."

"But that time was short-lived."

"Suddenly the sky turned gloomy and it started to rain."

"Adults like it when it rains because it helps crops grow well, but I hate rainy days."

"I'm made of rags, so when I get wet I become like a drowned cat."

"And on days like today, I'm worried that the cosmos flowers blooming in my ears will fall because of the rain."

"But the sky was angry, and not only did the rain get heavier, but it started to thunder and lightning."

"I was standing in the rain, protecting the cosmos as best I could from the heavy raindrops."

"After I didn't know how many minutes had passed, a black shadow suddenly came running towards me."

"The shadow came closer to me and stood in front of me, panting."

"Upon closer inspection, it was the kid who gave me the cosmos."

"The child hurriedly took off the raincoat he was wearing and put it on me."

"Scarecrow, it's cold... wear this."

"The child asked me if I was cold, wearing only shorts and a short sleeve shirt."

"I wanted to tell you that you look colder, but I couldn't say it."

"Because I'm a scarecrow."

"That child looked very lonely, unlike before."

"It's a scarecrow..."

"The child stood next to me, holding an umbrella, and spoke to me."

"Can I...be friends with you?"

"I was really surprised because this was the first time a kid wanted to be friends with a scarecrow like me."

"I was so grateful that I pretended to nod my head in the direction of the wind."

"You said yes just now, right?! You nodded, right?! Then we're friends now!"

"I guess my feelings have finally been conveyed."

"Thank you, Scarecrow~^^"

"The child gave me a smile that showed how grateful I was to see him."

"The child stayed by my side and told me his story without stopping until the rain stopped."

"I thought as I listened to this child's story"

"I wondered, 'Who else besides me would this child have told this story to?'"

"I'm telling these stories only to you~!"

"My child said he only tells me these stories."

"I think I have too many feelings for this kid."

"That's why I felt like I was special to this child."

"I was so happy"

"And during this time, through the child's words"

"An uninvited guest called excitement is knocking at the door of my heart."
