Uesugi Sakura approached her.
"Aei-chan?"
"Hmm..." The girl responded blankly, her eyes fixed on the ants eating sugar under the tree.
"It's time for lunch, Teacher Imanishi asked me to call you."
"Hmm..."
Aei gave the same response.
Uesugi Sakura thought she wasn't very shy because she didn't seem scared when approached by a complete stranger like himself:
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... just watching ants eat sugar...."
She must have given the ants her own lollipop to eat.
Observing small animals and insects is indeed a behavior full of innocence.
But, it's time to eat now.
"You can watch the ants later, let's go back to the classroom to eat first."
Aei looked up at him, her tilted hat really seemed on the verge of falling backward.
Her eyes were beautiful, exuding a child's pure innocence.
"Hmm..."
