For Our Happier Path

Hisaki joined Heisuke to crouch in front of the young boy. He still didn't show any signs to move. If not for him blinking his eyes from time to time, they might think this child was just a life-sized doll.

Behind them, the other hikers who walked past the spot noticed the boy hugging the yellow ball with duck cartoons. Even though the situation appeared a bit weird, most of them simply thought the young child was being coaxed by his parents.

Hisaki and Heisuke didn't pay attention to what the people were whispering. They only focused on the boy.

From a closer look, Hisaki deduced that this little one might be below five years old. He was dressed in a yellow long-sleeved T-shirt paired with light blue overalls. A yellow duck was embroidered on the denim fabric.

Hisaki and Heisuke exchanged a gaze. They still couldn't understand why did this little one end up there. Surely he should be with his parents or guardians.
