"Really? Or are you just like a human being, just comforting me with a few words, that Michael is hiding his behavior from the rest of the world."

　　Dianthe's uplifting expression quickly disappeared and turned to a look full of confusion and questioning. It seemed that she planned to live here with a clean mood, and she was dead to the world whether it would accept her or not.

　　"I don't know what Michael did to you, but you know very well that I didn't have to lie to you. He's not an ordinary man."

　　"But you hated me yesterday, didn't you? It was because of me that you were punished. I am also responsible for your collective lateness today."

　　"Although, we have a certain sense of exclusion to you, but does not mean that everyone cannot tolerate you. Did you forget the first day when everyone swarmed around you; we are all curious about you?

　　When I told her that, Dianthe's nervous expression was a little relieved. Maybe she didn't want to stay here because she was treated unfairly by Michael. Maybe she left because she felt guilty.

　　"You're right, maybe my thoughts are too negative, but Michael is right about one thing. I'm a town-destroying creature. Aren't you afraid?"

　　Dianthe helplessly sighed, almost at the moment she said that her eyes began to glitter and become translucent getting rid of her agate, reddish brown pupils. They were able to rapidly, form into a round thin line; the white area is shrinking rapidly, occupied by an agate color of the iris. Transparent water embellished the eyelids from the corner of her eyes like rapid hyperplasia. It looked as if a pair of wipers in her eyeball sliding over a moist surface.

　　The inhuman eyes that stared at me were so full of horrible hostility that they made me close my eyes and not look at them, but even when I closed my eyes, the scene was still present in my mind, and it made my blood run cold.

　　I don't know whether it was the effect of the indoor air conditioning or not, but I felt the temperature of the surrounding air falling rapidly, making my whole body feel cold and numb.

　　"I've changed back into a human. You don't have to close your eyes."

　　Dianthe was the first to break the silence, it let me open my eyes.

　　"In fact, that's what I'm most worried about. There's an instinctive fear of the unknown in any species."

　　Seeing her aggrieved expression, I could not help frowning. I knew that I was going to ask her to stay, but I could not resolve her fear. Even if I could ask her to stay, she could not rest assured in her life here.

　　I must find a way to let Dianthe stay first since Michael wants her to leave, so, how can this be solved?

　　"But you didn't hurt anyone, did you?" I asked Dianthe. Maybe it's just that Chief Michael is so mean, you don't have to take all the blame on yourself. He may be a human being who discriminates against mythical creatures! I think you should also have the right to report him. Don't you have your superior in charge of the cooperation project? You can write to her about your trouble and ask for her help.

　　"But...... He's in charge here, too! I am an experimental subject; How can I write to inform against him and ask him to hand over his post?"

　　"Why don't you try?"

　　"I can't do that, not only for you, but I can't let that Lord take care of me."

　　"But you can't finish the task. Wouldn't you still be letting your superiors down by doing this?"

　　Dianthe's expression was dull, she seemed to be too worried about the future to think about this. After looking down for a moment, she seemed to think of something and she suddenly nodded to me with grateful eyes. Obviously, she was thinking outside of the vicious circle of her dilemma.

　　"That's your biggest problem! You always worry about your future and take responsibility for yourself. I feel tired of you as an ordinary person. You know, it is not cowardly for a person to ask for help from others."

　　Seeing that Dianthe was no longer sad, I couldn't help feeling proud. I persuaded a girl to stay, not to mention her identity was not ordinary; she had something to do with a monarch of her world. At that moment, I felt as if I had become the protagonist of a book and had a sense of achievement for what I had done.

　　However, when I felt proud, Dianthe stood up with a smile. She smoothed the messy bottom of her clothes, changed her lovely and innocent temperament, and put a serious expression on her face as if I knew her and disappeared.

　　She, like a royal knight, bowed to me: "Thank you, I'll do it according to what you said; report to my superior, Oriental Dragon Wang Rushi when I encounter him. Because of the influence of the environment, I made such a small error. I was naive to think it was a social experiment project. I, a princess as an Earth QiLin thank you for your guidance. This time I owe you one."

　　"No, it's nothing... "

　　I was dumbstruck by the rapid changes in Dianthe, I felt that Dianthe seemed to have misunderstood something about my words and her about her own task, but an indescribable sense of incompatibility welled up in my mind, preventing my brain from continuing to think.

　　"Thank you very much for your psychological counseling. Although I really want to talk with you more, I'm sorry that I have to retire first."

　　Dianthe slightly bowed, her solemn, noble temperament makes her look highborn as if she were the incarnation of a medieval European royal knight with loyalty to duty with a firm creed and belief. She came to a foreign land, purely to complete a mission.

　　She did not stop to rest, no one could have an emotional connection with her. Of all the people passing by her, I am just a coincidence in her journey. I may have seemed like a small and ordinary human in her eyes.

　　She was no longer the Dianthe I had just known, the gentle shy girl who worried too much about the future,

　　"And so on... "

　　When I realized that she had misunderstood my idea, she left me at the moment when I was lost.

　　"Don't leave me. That's not what I'm saying."

　　I held out my hand in the air for a long time, and I really wanted to tell her that I did not say those words for the purpose of guidance, not to tolerate some kind of work persuasion, but a friend's encouragement from the bottom of my heart.

　　Speaking of a friend, did she regard me as a friend?

　　Yeah! She never said that we were friends, I was just a coincidence, even if she expressed her gratitude to me, she was showing her gratitude by owing me a favor.

　　She and I had never intersected before. We didn't talk much at all. We didn't know each other at all.

　　Anger, incomprehension, betrayal and other negative emotions spread in my heart. Thousands of thoughts turned into one thought, which made me wonder.

　　Why do I have to help her?

　　Why did I bother to comfort her?

　　Do I have to get something substantial from others to help others?

　　Because of my special attraction to Dianthe, I thought I would be proud and arrogant if I did a little favor for her. According to the development of the story, Dianthe regarded my self-styled protagonist as a friend, who would ask another stranger to be a friend casually for a reason or to help so I would be the only fool.

　　At the end of the day, I'm just fooling myself, rekindling my youthful ignorance, holding unrealistic fantasies, and trying to fill up my past regrets.

So what were my regrets?
