This made him think that Mono was just like him—a very kind, loving, and compassionate person.
He was filled with infinite goodwill towards Mono.
"A person wearing a Human Skin Mask?" Mono asked in confusion.
Although he was disappointed about not knowing the location, hearing other information was also good.
The boy named Little Ji nodded, then slowly spoke with a look of reminiscence:
"That guy is terrifying. He wears a giant grayish-black windbreaker, and on his drooping, long head, he wears a huge hat. Every time he arrives, a harsh North Wind blows, blocking the prey's escape. He is a... terrifying..."
"...guy, a monster you can hardly imagine. Besides me and my sister, many others were captured by him."
Looking at the boy's solemn and slightly fearful face, Mono pondered.
It seemed the boy was talking about the monster from the original plot that captured Six onto the Tan E.
But, North Wind?
After the boy finished speaking, he seemed to remember something else and suddenly said:
"Anyway, if you want to survive on the ship, I advise you to stay away from those giant shadows. As long as you stay in the corners, there won't be any danger."
"Of course, if you need help, you can keep going forward. There are some Little Person like me who were lucky enough to escape from that Long-armed Monster. They know how to avoid danger. If you want to live better, go find them," the boy added softly.
...Requesting flowers...
Hearing this, Mono looked at him strangely: "Since you know it's dangerous outside, why don't you stay with them?"
At this, the boy fell silent for a moment.
After hesitating, he said slowly, "I just... need to find my sister... We were captured together, but not long ago, she was dragged away by that Long-armed Monster."
Who wouldn't want to stay in a safe place? But at the thought of what misfortune might befall his sister, he couldn't settle his mind... So finally, after a difficult choice, he decided to come out and look for her himself...
"Sister?"
Stunned for a moment.
So he ran out of the safe place for his relative and almost had his blood sucked dry by Leeches?
As expected of the DLC he "played"; the character is indeed kind-hearted.
...
However, if his sister was dragged away by the Long-armed Monster, that seemed a bit bad.
Mono remembered clearly that to make up for the food shortage caused by the three thousand Eaters boarding the ship, the Owner of the Tan E Vessel would order the blind Long-armed Monster to pack up the Little Person captured by the North Wind monster one by one and send them to the Kitchen to be made into meat.
So, his sister...
"Um, was your sister dragged away yesterday?" Mono asked.
The boy nodded and said:
"Yes, she must be waiting for me to save her right now. She's always been very timid... If I'm not by her side..." The boy said, then fell silent again.
Mono didn't know what to say to comfort the guy in front of him.
After all, his sister was missing, and in a place like this, he must be very anxious.
After a moment of silence, the boy slowly came back to his senses.
He looked up and once again spoke to Mono with a hint of gratitude:
"Anyway, I'm leaving. Thank you. I hope we can... meet again..." The meaning of meeting again was naturally the hope that both parties would be safe. He didn't intend to ask Mono for help because the ship wasn't safe, and Mono saving him once was enough for him to be grateful.
Mono nodded and replied, "Mhm... Good luck. I believe your sister will be fine..."
He really wanted to help, but thinking about his own current situation, it didn't seem very good either.
Besides, Little Ji hadn't asked him for help.
Even if he wanted to help out of goodwill, there was no reason to.
Moreover, so much time had passed for his sister; given the Long-armed Monster's personality, I'm afraid... he could only offer his wishes... that good people have good luck.
