"Hey, Elbert! Why are you staying there?"
The figure of the man in shabby clothes stood in place while holding the ball. Elbert has a pretty handsome face, with brown hair and sapphire-like blue eyes. He looked towards a large house. There, there was a beautiful girl who was sitting while reading a book.
"Hey! Why are you just daydreaming?!"
The figure of the fat boy walked up to Elbert who picked up the ball. Looking at the dreamy figure of his friend, he looked towards Elbert who was staring.
When he saw the figure of the beautiful girl, the face of the fat boy became rather bad. He directly dragged Elbert away from there with all his might.
"So look at you, Elbert! That girl is Miss Melly. She is the daughter of the city office, farmers like us should not look at her in such a way!"
After dragging Elbert away, the fat boy gasped for breath.
Elbert who regained his senses from his daydream looked towards the fat boy then asked in an innocent tone.
"Isn't that girl pretty, Bob?"
Hearing Elbert's question, the fat boy named Bob was dumbfounded.
"Miss Melly is beautiful, but she's obviously the son of a city official. Not at all suitable for us, who are only farmers. You should know that, too, Elbert."
"So her name is Melly .." muttered Elbert who was fascinated, did not touch Bob's words at all.
"Give up, Elbert. That overdone dream will only hurt you."
"It looks like I'm in love, Bob."
"Elbert, you—"
"Isn't it stupid to give up before trying?"
"..."
Looking at the dumbfounded Bob, Elbert smiled brightly then said.
"At least I'll try to get close to him, Bob. A man can't give up on his dreams!"
Since then, Elbert finally tried to get close and get to know the figure of a beautiful girl named Melly.
***
Almost half a year passed by.
Every day, Elbert would approach the mansion. Trying to get attention, and a chance to talk to Melly. But the result is nil.
Elbert is completely ignored!
Not until one afternoon did something change everything.
The figure of Melly who rarely came out of the house went to buy books. Because her father and mother did not have time, she chose to buy it herself. On his return, the innocent girl is chased by some stray dogs. He who had never known the outside world was completely terrified.
Right then, it just so happened that Elbert saw it. He chased away the stray dogs, becoming the savior of the innocent little princess.
"Next time try not to bring such food when out. The dogs in this place are starving and very dangerous.
That kind of smell will catch their attention. Do you understand?"
Hearing Elbert's words, the sobbing Melly continued to nod. Understand that he has made a mistake.
"I'll take you back."
Not daring to touch, let alone hold Melly's hand, Elbert drove the girl home until her home. However, the girl really did not speak a word on the way.
In the end, they arrive at Melly's house.
Elbert, who had finished delivering the figure of the girl, turned to leave. After all, he felt it was useless to stay there. The boy was afraid to be mistaken for bothering Melly, so he wanted to leave immediately!
"Wait ..."
Hearing a soft voice from behind, Elbert turned his head.
Looking towards Melly, Elbert tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" ask Elbert.
"Name!"
"Well?!" Elbert looked confused.
"W-What's your name!" melly said with a nervous expression.
Seeing Melly ask her name, Elbert was stunned. He did not expect the cold girl to actually ask his name.
With a smile on his face, Elbert finally said.
"You must remember, my name is Elbert!"
"Elbert ..." muttered the girl. "I'm Melly. T-Thank you for helping me out and driving me, Elbert."
"It doesn't matter at all!"
Elbert laughed with a happy expression on his face. Staring at Melly, he then continued.
"It's almost dark. I'll be back."
"Well!"
At that moment, the two finally met.
Elbert and Melly don't know. From behind the second-floor window of the house, there appeared a figure who was looking at them with an indifferent expression. However ...
His eyes looked so cold when he saw the two of them.
