On April day, two people and a fat cat with a fish-shaped wooden sign appeared in the cemetery.

The tall, tall young man with a clear face was wearing a neat gray vertical striped shirt and black suit pants, while the boy next to him was only up to his chest height. He was a handsome, fair-haired boy around 12 years old.The fat cat was attracted by the butterfly that flew past just now, even a big monster couldn't avoid the cat's nature, after two steps behind the young man and the young man, he ran away with the little butterfly, and plunged into the haystack.

Today is Natsume's father's death day.

Oda would take Natsume to visit the grave every year, no matter how busy he was, there would be no exception, and this year is the same.

Some people will never be forgotten, even if they have disappeared from my side, even if my memory of them is so shallow that I can't remember them, leaving only pronouns.Nor should they be forgotten.After Oda helped clean up the weeds around the tombstone and the dust on the tombstone, Natsume asked Natsume to take the flowers he picked from his own garden and place them in front of Natsume's parents' tombstones, and talk to his parents alone.Oda went to smoke a cigarette by himself.

In my impression, Oda is not a smoker. I was a little surprised when I saw it at first, but I also know that he doesn’t like to smoke. It’s just that every time it’s a festival, he will smoke one himself, half sitting on the steps On the road, the head is empty, and it quietly blends into the background of dense trees.After Natsume came over, he would automatically snuff out the cigarette butt, throw a piece of chewing gum to end smoking.

It's the same this time.

Natsume was seven or eight steps away from him, and Oda started to pinch his cigarette.Natsume quickly said: "Oda Tsukuru, it's okay if you finish smoking. I won't feel bad." Like them, Natsume always changed the name of Oda, not knowing what name to call so that he and Oda Get closer.It was after Akashi first discovered that Oda liked the name "Odasaku" more than "Sakunosuke", everyone began to call him "Odasaku" steadily, which seemed to be a nickname.

Oda smiled.Four years of time has made Oda a calmer and gentler person. Just by stretching his eyebrows and eyes, it makes everyone who sees feel like a spring breeze.

The 27-year-old Sakunosuke Oda still maintains a self-disciplined living habit. Long-term exposure to various literary works has given him a bookish self-restraint from the inside out. In Natsume's words, it is like "a quilt that has been sun-baked in winter" , comfortable and warm", I dare not imagine that he was a gangster seven years ago.Especially those blue and bright pupils, which look like young people who have just turned 20 and are new to society.This is good and bad.The good thing is that it is beautiful and easy to make people feel good about it. The bad thing is that it makes people think that this person is very easy to deceive.

The most serious one was that a local man took Oda as a foreigner (because Oda looked lost, but he was actually waiting for someone), and then tricked him into working in the Cowherd Club.As soon as Oda entered the door, Nakahara demolished the entire club with his back foot, and that person was hung on the mast of a cargo ship in Hong Kong for a day and a night.

"fine."

Oda responded without thinking, and also disposed of the cigarette in his hand.

"Thinking about who? May I know?"

Natsume felt that Oda was thinking about someone, but he never mentioned it.Up to now, Natsume has never seen Oda sweep his family's grave, nor has he taken the initiative to mention the matter of Oda's parents, and each time he avoided it with a few words.

Oda's lake eyes were shining like water, and he stretched out his hand to cover Natsume's head. Natsume who was rubbed a few times missed the opportunity to track Oda's expression. "Don't think too much, it's fine. Where did Mr. Cat go? If there's no problem, then we should prepare to go back."

At present, only Oda and Natsume are the only ones in the whole family who call Madara "Natty Teacher", while others still call him "Fatty", "Big Fatty" and other names.

Seeing that he had no choice but to change the subject, Natsume continued, "I'll look for it."

"Let's find each other separately."

Oda also stood up straight and moved separately from Natsume.In less than a dozen seconds, Oda heard the sound of "dong dong dong". Looking for the sound, he saw a small figure in a brown-gray kimono whose head was stuck in a jar, walking staggeringly, bumping into it from time to time. to the trunk.So Oda reached out to help take out the jar, only to reveal a wooden face with only a black hole and a mouth.

Natsume once said that some yokai appear because they want to make contact with people, either to intimidate them for pranks, or because they need help.

When Oda saw such a strange monster, he didn't show too much surprise on his face. Seeing that after it took off the jar, the semicircular canals in its brain hadn't been adjusted properly, and its footsteps were still unstable, so he stretched out his hand to protect it a little until It stopped.

"Thank you."

Although the other party did not speak, the voice had already entered Oda's mind.The youkai has a gentle personality, and slowly stretches out his hand in the direction of Oda.Oda didn't know why, so he held onto its arm.

"In order to repay you, I will give you something nice."

The monster's grateful voice fell, and a white light appeared in Oda's eyes, and the light drove away the other scenery in front of him. Oda's head also began to fall into a state of confusion, as if he was hit on the back of the head and lost consciousness. At the same time, the voices of Natsume and Teacher Kitty also rang out.

"Odasaku."

***

In the darkness, there is a long river flowing quietly, the color cannot be seen clearly, only the sound of gurgling water can be heard, as if it has been endowed with life.Oda Sakunosuke stood in the middle of the river, feeling his whole body was soaked, and looked back towards the direction of the water source, where there was light.The light began to illuminate the water surface little by little—it was the deep red that filled the manjusawa on the other side.

Far better than the surprise brought by the strangeness of this situation and this scene, the strong sadness lingers in Oda's heart for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, Oda found himself lying on the tatami mats in a room. Before he could fully open his eyes, he was surrounded by a few unfamiliar faces.

"Odasaku, are you awake? Are you okay? How is your body feeling?"

"I heard that monster is called a lunar eclipse. When you repay others, it will make the other party's old things look new, and it also has the ability to rejuvenate. Fatta and Natsume have already gone to chase that monster. You will be fine soon. of."

"Are you ok?"

A few young people in their 20s surrounded him, as if they knew him, and their tone was rare in Oda. Oda was a little uncomfortable, looked down at his oversized shirt, and scratched his waist and abdomen with his hands clothes.At this time, Akashi, who saw that Oda was in a daze, reached out and rubbed Oda's head, and said in a patient tone: "What are you thinking, can you tell me?"

"I'm hungry." Oda's voice was clear and calm.

As soon as his voice fell, the Central Plains immediately set out to find some snacks for him.After all, they just accompanied Natsume to worship their ancestors, and it was also a small vacation. Natsume's hometown only had a bunch of snacks and snacks brought by them.

However, Akashi slowly raised his hand to stop them, stared at Oda's drooping head, and responded, "I can give you things, but tell me, who are we?" Oda is not good at lying, so he would only answer evasively, Don't look at him calmly now, maybe he is panicking in his heart.Kurosawa Jin also felt that Oda's situation didn't look right. The moment he opened his eyes, the first thing he observed was the surrounding environment, which seemed to be determining the escape route, and he kept his head down after making eye contact with people.

"I see." Zhongyuan snapped his fingers at the suitcase within sight, and the suitcase was opened in the air, and the snack bags inside flew over. "But it doesn't matter if you eat a little first."

Nakahara handed the curry-flavored potato chips to Oda's eyes, and shook him.

Following his movements, Oda looked up into Nakahara's eyes.

With a bright smile on Zhong Yuan's face, he said in a high voice, "Are you afraid of me?"

Oda raised his hand to take the potato chips without saying a word.

"Afraid." Hong Jiaodong just added a sentence in the direction behind Oda, and stabbed Zhong Yuan in the heart.

The smile on Zhong Yuan's face immediately froze: "..." He thinks he performed super well?

"Thank you." Oda's voice rose in time, giving Zhong Yuan a dose of comfort.

The smile on Zhong Yuan's face relaxed again, and he crossed his legs and said, "You're welcome." Zhong Yuan paused and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember anything, it will be fine soon."

Oda looked up at Nakahara, then glanced around again, not knowing what to say.

A person who can be so lenient with "self" must be a good person.

It is enough to know this.

At this time, Hong Jiaodong, who was sitting behind Oda, patted Oda's shoulder, and just as Oda turned his head, he heard a "click".It turned out that Hong Jiaodong was taking pictures of him.

After Hong Jiao Dong finished shooting, he set the dumb face that Oda didn't react to just now as a screen saver, especially this face is still a little childish, so it's very poignant.

I have seen Oda mature and stable, but I have never seen him immature and cute.

Kurosawa Jin, Akashi, and Zhongyuan just watched Hong Jiaodong do such a thing silently, shouldn't this kind of photo be posted in groups?

Teenage Oda, when did they ever meet for real!

The boy Oda is quite tall, and he looks thin. Inside the shirt with the first button open, the V-shaped collarbone can be seen at a glance, very beautiful, smooth and flat.

Several people were half sitting or half squatting, and they could see the scene under Oda's collarbone looming.

"..."

No wonder Gide likes to call Oda "my boy" in a nasty way. Now Oda looks weak and tough.

While thinking this way, everyone silently picked up their mobile phones and began to take pictures of Oda Sakunosuke, as a souvenir! !

In such a frenzied atmosphere, Oda tore off the wrapping paper by himself and thought about how to escape from here first.He shouldn't be here now, he should be in the Butterfly House now, I heard that the Ghost Killing Team met the Twelve Ghost Moons in Natian Spider Mountain.

He accepted the task of Yuko Ichihara.

A customer wanted to collect the eyes of the Twelve Demon Moons of the Taisho Era.So he was lurking in the Ghost Killing Squad, once he received news from Twelve Ghost Moons, he could set off at any time.

So far, he has completed no less than twenty similar tasks and obtained various strange props.Ichihara Yuko said that as long as he can complete a hundred tasks, she will give him a sapphire with twelve star rays called "Stone of Heaven".This gem can revive any two he wants.

Oda wanted to resurrect his parents, always wanted to.

***

When Natsume and Mr. Kitty came back, it was already night, and the lunar eclipse could not be found for the time being, and they had already entrusted nearby monster friends to find it so that Oda could wait with peace of mind.

Oda didn't express any opinion on this, and he is still skeptical of their words to this day.

Hearing them say that he is actually 27 years old, and suddenly became smaller after encountering some things, but Oda doesn't believe it.

First, he had no reason to live that long.

Second, it is impossible for him to have so many people willing to stay by his side.

No matter how close they acted to him, Oda felt as if they were behind glass and had no sense of reality.

Waiting for the night to get deeper, Oda made sure that everyone was fast asleep, and quietly crawled out of the bed.

He went to contact Yuko Ichihara first, maybe something happened to him when he was doing the task, after the fragments appeared in his memory, he accidentally traveled to the wrong dimension.

When Oda disappeared into Natsume's ancestral house, the other five people in the house started talking at the same time.

"Akashi: Have you agreed with Yuko-san?"

"Kurosawa: We've colluded."

Originally, everyone thought that Oda should be saved immediately, but after talking to Ms. Yuko, Ms. Yuko said that Oda, who is now younger, went to the Taisho era at the same time in the past.

Speaking of the Taisho era, Nakahara remembers seeing a photo of Oda with a smile on his eyes in Yuko’s store before—it was the only photo of Oda with an expression when he was 14 years old.Everyone didn't know what good things happened to Oda in the Taisho era, so everyone decided to postpone the recovery of Oda's body a little bit, and secretly followed to see what happened.And Miss Yuko, who is willing to cooperate, will also lie to Oda and let him go back to the world where he failed in the mission.

"Boom: So, when are we going to take a sneak shot?"

They have already planned to follow the 14-year-old Oda Saku, which will definitely be a precious memory for a lifetime.

"Natsume: I want to go!"

"Zhong Yuan: No, you have to go to class."

Teacher Cat rolled his eyelids, showing a speechless expression.

When you had an accident in Oda four years ago, you were all anxious to death, but now you are so big-hearted, you have changed too much——! !
