[Comprehensive] Young man, do you know the method of single draw?

Who is Reiko Natsume?

Sakuma Rin once heard this name somewhere, but he didn't remember it for a long time. Now it just sounds familiar, but he can't remember under what circumstances he heard it.

Rin Sakuma thought about it, and cleaned up the room without knowing it.He looked at the dirt on his body from playing in the deep mountains, frowned, and immediately went to take a bath.After returning to the dormitory from the bathroom, he raised his eyebrows when he saw Heiying laying on his bed with a face full of enjoyment. He went up and patted the bed to let Heiying move his position, then sat on it and fell back on the bed to be comfortable stretched himself.

"Finally able to rest..."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's you who made me work so hard."

Sakuma Rin looked at the white ceiling and said, "Heiying, can you tell me about Natsume Reiko?"

Hei Ying was a little surprised: "Natsume Reiko? Why, are you interested in this little girl?"

"Well, one thing." Sakuma Rin said, "I've heard this name before, but I can't remember the specifics. Do you know anything about her? If you know, please tell me."

"Okay, let me think about it..."

A long time ago, about a few decades ago, on Yahara on the island of Kyushu, there was a group of monsters who lived happily every day.

Then, one day, there was a rumor among the youkai——

"Hey, do you know? If a human named Natsume finds out, something terrible will happen to you!"

"No way, mere human?"

"Shhh! Don't say it so loudly, what if that human happens to be here, what if it happens to be heard?"

"It's that scary."

"Of course!" The little monster leaned closer to his companion, deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "That Natsume is not an ordinary human!"

"Huh?! If we meet, what will happen!"

At this moment, a gust of bitter breath made the two little monsters froze in fright, turned their heads tremblingly, screamed and ran away when they saw the huge figure behind them.

Black Hawk lazily opened his eyes.

"Am I that scary?"

"Hehe, rather than being scary, it's better to say that it makes the cubs afraid."

The huge tail swung leisurely, and the big white monster with red lines on its face responded in a slightly lazy voice.

"My friend, I think they are more likely to be frightened by you."

"Oh, is that so?" The golden and blood-red eyes of the two giant monsters looked at each other. After a long time, the dog monster snorted and said to the bird monster, "Forget it, whatever you want."

"Speaking of which, it's really a peaceful day..."

The black eagle fluttered its wings, and the huge wings drove a strong air flow that made the trees shake non-stop. It flew into the sky and looked into the distance.

"It's too leisurely to live like this every day."

"Then what do you want to do? Go to other places to seize the monster's territory?"

Hei Ying actually thought about it seriously, and had a flash of inspiration: "Ah, this idea is good."

"...No way, are you really going to do that?"

"Not really, I just want to visit other places." Hei Ying said, flapping his wings lightly and quickly to the distance.

"He really is a guy who does what he says..."

One month after being away from Yayuan, Heiying received a message from a friend.

[Recently, I met an interesting human being, a little girl with very powerful spiritual power.She seems to like making friends very much, and she holds a book called "Friends Book" in her hand, well, it's actually just a book that can be used to dispatch monsters... If there is a destiny, I will introduce her to you. 】

Hei Ying had heard it, and didn't care much about what his friends said about humans.After all, the life of monsters is too long, and the life of human beings is too short. I don't even know if there is a day of introduction.

He changed into a human form and traveled around human cities for a long time. After Hei Ying couldn't remember how long he left Yahara, he received a second message from his friend.

[By the way, do you still remember that funny little human girl I told you about before?The little girl has someone she likes... Alas, I forgot that human beings are also creatures that need love and nourishment. Before I knew it, the little girl had grown into a woman. 】

"Hmph, only you who have lived in the mountains for a long time will forget how much human beings need love." Hei Ying replied, "So emotional, could it be...?"

[No, I just suddenly have a kind of, very unwilling...

It feels like my daughter is married. 】

"It's really worthless."

【Hmph, you lonely old man, one day... when you have such a familiar human being by your side, you will also know how I feel. 】

"Then look forward to this day coming later."

In an underground tavern full of feasting and feasting, Black Hawk smiled lightly with a dangerous arc on his mouth, and the gun in his hand twirled around his fingertips.

After a while, Black Hawk received the last message from his friend.Since then, he has not received any news from his friends.

【I'm going to disappear for a while, so don't use it to look for me.By the way, if you need any help, you can go to the little girl I mentioned. Her name is Natsume Reiko and she lives in Yayuan. 】

"I can't forget that little girl named Natsume no matter what I say. I am very happy to be a parent."

Black Eagle stood on the roof and yawned lazily. The hem of the windbreaker was lifted high with the wind, making a rustling sound.

"See you again, Madara."

"That... I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Mr. Heiying to be such a person who likes the world."

Sakuma Rin looked calm.

It was clearly something that could be easily explained in two or three sentences, but Black Hawk spent a lot of time describing to him how handsome he was when he became a human and lived in the world.

For some reason, it made him want to beat him up, even if he couldn't -

"Ah? This is not what you humans like the most, artistic rendering. I have learned it well,"

Sakuma Rin said: "I'm sorry, that's a technique used by human beings when writing. It's better to be as brief as possible when speaking."

"Oh? Is that so? I've been taught!"

Sakuma Rin sighed: "That is to say, that's all you heard about Natsume Reiko from your friends..."

Black Eagle shook his head: "No, there are actually more...but who would remember so many irrelevant things, I can't remember them anyway."

"Yeah, old people just tend to forget things."

"...Young man, what is your name?"

"Sakuma Rin, what, suddenly want to know my name?"

I saw a flash of light in the red eyes of the black eagle, and red patterns appeared on the wrists of Rin Sakuma at the same time, entwined like bracelets.

"What is this?" Sakuma Rin asked calmly.

"It's nothing, it's just a boring prank by an old man. Don't worry, it won't do you any harm~ it just looks better~" Hei Ying said, rolling on the bed, "ah, the old man just gets sleepy easily , I need to rest now, I need a wonderful resting environment~ Rin, go and help me turn off the lights~"

Rin Sakuma was silent for a while, took a deep breath, quietly got out of bed, turned off the light and closed the door firmly.

"I'm going to sleep in the guest room."

After a while, Sakuma Rin came back and opened the door and said to Otori who was lying comfortably on the bed: "Tomorrow, I will become a little smaller and go to school with me. You should be able to do it, right? I want you to meet Natsume. "

After speaking, he closed the door and left without allowing the other party to answer.

Black Eagle looked at the door, and after an unknown amount of time, in the dark night, the big bird on the bed disappeared instantly, replaced by a black-haired man.The man got out of bed, walked to the window and looked at the bright moon outside.

"If there is a fate."

The author has something to say: The results of the college entrance examination came out today, and I was checking the school this afternoon~ The update is a little late~

The test was a little better than expected, hehe~ I am in a good mood!

If there is fate: 縁があれば.

come and read with me engaareba

Here, because it is an automatic verb, が and ある use the hypothetical ば type: ある (with)—>あれば (if there is)

縁 (えん) means fate
