Retirement has to support a man [Comprehensive]

Youkai Festival, as the name suggests, is a festival for youkai, and of course its organizers and most of the participants are youkai.

After the short knives dealt with the monsters who came to attack, they walked up the mountain again, and what they met were some monsters who came to the festival with things.All kinds of monsters carry packages on their backs and walk together in twos and threes. The originally quiet mountain path is now bustling and lively.

And just beside the team marching towards the Yokai Festival, two familiar figures stood by the roadside, and when they saw Natsume and the others, one of them reached out to greet them.

"Yo! You are here."

The boy with black ponytail smiled and waved at the knives, and the boy with short white hair beside him nodded to them.

"Catty tail girl, bone girl girl." Seeing that his brothers were very happy, Akita quickly responded with a wave of his hand.

"You go up the mountain first, we will go up the mountain after the big troops here, the lady asked us to help here."

After saying hello, Natsume and the others entered the team and continued to move forward. Although there were big monsters, some people and Fusangshin in their team, it seemed very strange, but because of the request of the festival master, the monsters did not show any rejection, just I continued to discuss this year's festival with my friends.

"This year's festival invited a lot of children from the fox tribe to dance. It is said to be even grander than previous years."

"It seems that some important person is coming to participate."

"It is said that Lord Xia will take out that treasure at this year's festival as a reward for the person who presents the best gift in this festival."

"Hey, it's that precious mirror that is said to be able to project the person or thing that I miss the most in the world again."

"I heard that this precious mirror was a treasure bestowed by Daohe God himself when Master Xia was by Daohe God's side."

I can't remember the last time it was such a lively scene, but mixing with a group of monsters to participate in the festival, this may be an unforgettable memory in Natsume's life.

When the main force came to the gate of the festival, Natsume and the others stood in the middle of the large force, waiting with the monsters for the opening of the gate of the festival.

"Natsume-kun, it's very safe here, you stay here for a while, the lady is coming soon, we have to go back to her first.", "Okay, I'll be fine with Teacher Kitty here, don't worry. "

Yaoken looked at the fat cat in Natsume's arms, and remembered that the cat was also a big monster, and now that the most dangerous factor had been removed, Natsume would not be in any danger if Madara was there.Now that Natsume no longer needs their protection, and the task assigned to them by their master has been completed, they can return to their master with peace of mind.

"Then Natsume-kun, see you later.", "Natsume-kun, see you later, we're going to find Miss."

Smiling and nodding, Natsume bid farewell to the knives temporarily. "See you later."

Without watching the short knives disappear among the monsters in the blink of an eye, Natsume stood in place holding Mr. Kitty and waited for the upcoming festival.

After about 10 minutes, at the moment when the last ray of the sun disappeared in the sky, two lanterns in front of the festival gate suddenly lit up, and at the same time the gate slowly opened, and first two boys with fox ears carried the lanterns and walked away Walked out slowly, and then a man wearing a gorgeous kimono and a fox mask walked out slowly.

The appearance of the man made the group of monsters suddenly boil.

"That's Lord Xia!"

"Did Master Xia personally preside over the opening ceremony of this year's festival?"

Natsume didn't know who they were talking about, Mr. Xia, but when he saw that the mask on the man's face was almost exactly the same as the fox he saw yesterday, Natsume suddenly realized that the man in front of him was the fox he saw yesterday. The big fox that arrived.

"Welcome distinguished guests!"

Accompanied by the crisp voice of the fox boy, the monsters retreated to the two sides one after another, giving way to the wide road in the middle, and Natsume, who followed everyone to the side of the road, was very curious about the so-called honored guest, standing at the front of the line, and all the monsters Let's look at the stairs outside the festival together.

In the light night, there is light slowly spreading along the stairs, and the night that gets thicker with time can't resist the brighter and brighter light.

When the first silver light fell on the platform, Natsume saw a familiar figure.

The tall Datachi opened the way in front, and a large number of fusangshen marched in line with their height. The silver light like moonlight shrouded the entire team. If anyone dared to offend, the gentle light like moonlight would instantly turn into a sharp and piercing murderous intent. .

The center of the team is Lu Weiming. Natsume thought that the clothes she was wearing before were already very delicate, but she didn't know that there were even more gorgeous outfits.Compared with the light and elegant veil dress before, Lu Weiming's red dress is more noble, and he cannot be looked directly at under the guard of many Fusangshen.

When the team passed by Natsume, Lu Weiming, who had no expression in the middle, suddenly blinked at Natsume, which made Natsume confirm that she was indeed someone he knew.

After the unidentified team reached the gate of the festival, Xia, the owner of the festival, announced the official start of the festival.

In an instant, the cold and silent mountain forest in the night was illuminated by the lit lanterns, and the noise and prosperity that did not belong to the world officially descended.

"Natsume-kun!" Entering the ceremony, Natsume heard someone calling him within two steps.Looking around, I realized that it was Akita and Imaiken.The Fusangshen, who were solemn and inviolable just now, have changed back to the children next door, happily coming to play with Natsume. "The festival has begun, Miss let everyone move freely, Natsume-kun, let's go to the festival together."

Naturally, Natsume would not refuse their invitation, and let Imaime pull him to the lively place of the festival.

They didn't go far, and they met an acquaintance, but this acquaintance was not here to visit the festival. Hakata, wearing a square scarf, was standing behind the booth, collecting money and saying hello to them passing by. "Yah hoo!"

"Bodo, you are here."

Standing in front of the dim sum stall sold by Hakata, Mr. Cat, who smelled the smell in Natsume's arms, didn't bother to fight with Natsume, and broke his unilateral cold war with Natsume.

"It's so fragrant! Natsume, buy it for me.", "Hey hey, I'll buy it for you."

Seeing that Mr. Cat finally stopped being awkward with him for no reason, Natsume of course would not refuse Mr. Cat, and walked to the stall without hesitation and asked how Hakata dim sum was sold.

"So it's Natsume-kun. If you say it, you won't be charged." Yamato Shouan, who was busy at the stall, saw Natsume and handed him the snack directly. "After all, you are Miss's friend."

Seeing that Hakata, who was in charge of collecting the money, refused to accept the money, Mr. Cat made a fuss again, so Natsume had to take the snacks and pass them to Mr. Cat.

"Speaking of which, Hakata, why don't you go to the festival?" Hakata looked like a child, thinking that children should like to play, Natsume didn't quite understand why Hakata didn't go to the festival with his partners, but helped at the stall.

"Because I like making money more than going to festivals." Even though he has been in charge of Honmaru's financial power and has millions of dollars in his hands every minute, Hakata is still keen on making money.

Seeing the fusangshen who can rent out the entire homestay are busy at the small stall, Natsume doesn't know whether they are rich because they are so good at making money, or because they are so good at spending money.

"In fact, compared to making money, we just suddenly miss our previous life." Mutsu Mori, who saw Natsume's doubts, smiled cheerfully. "I still remember when we were poor and white, we used to go down the mountain every day to set up stalls to earn living expenses."

"That's right. Later, because I didn't know how to hide my body at that time, I was arrested by the Shinsengumi for violating the abolishment order. If the lady hadn't gone down the mountain to rescue her, we would have fallen into Yoshiwara, and Sankazuki might have The oiran is gone." The person involved, Bodo, was filled with emotion when he thought of that time.

At that time, he and Goto brother were still very weak, and now they are both big bosses with full polarization.

Because the pronunciation of Shinsengumi and Shinsengumi are the same in Japanese, it is no surprise that Natsume recognized this Shinsengumi as Shinsengumi.Coupled with key words such as the Token Sword Order and Yoshihara, high school student Natsume felt that there was a lot of information in Hakata's remarks.

The combination of the Abandoned Sword Order and the Shinsengumi is obviously referring to the Edo period more than 100 years ago.

It turns out that Lu Sang, who looks about his age, has actually lived for at least 100 years?

When Natsume was still a little dazed, Imai and Akita, who found out that there was a performance in the festival center, took him to watch the performance, where he saw the master who frightened him, Lu Weiming.Sanriyue, who was not particularly well-dressed before and wasted her beauty, was standing beside Lu Weiming, wearing a blue hunting suit, as gorgeous as the bright moon in the sky, and her every move seemed to be that of a nobleman who traveled from Ping'an capital thousands of years ago.

When walking towards Lu Weiming, Natsume listened to the discussion of Mikazuki all the way, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the performance, which shows the power of his appearance.

"Natsume-kun." Seeing Natsume approaching, Sanriyue smiled and nodded at him, and then turned her eyes to Lu Weiming again.

And Lu Weiming, who was being watched by Sanriyue and Natsume at the same time, was looking intently at the dancing fox girls in the center of the festival. Most of the dancing fox girls had serious expressions, but there was one fox girl who looked a little younger. The seniors are so skilled, but they should really love dancing, so the little fox girl will always show a cheerful smile inadvertently.

That smile is extremely bright and charming.

"A long time ago, I also participated in a feast, and there were many beautiful girls dancing, and they laughed really happily at that time." Lu Weiming said in a very nostalgic tone, probably recalling some beautiful scene with.

"It's really a pity that I couldn't witness that feast with the Lord." San Riyue sighed in this way, Lu Weiming withdrew his gaze from looking at the little fox girl, and turned his head to meet San Riyue's. "Such a feast, such a smile, no matter how rare it is in this life, it is indeed a pity."

"The past is in the past, you are all by my side now and in the future, aren't you?"

"We all know." San Riyue sighed softly, he knelt on one knee and looked up at the girl. "You are always right."

Lu Weiming smiled lightly and raised his hand to rub his cyanotic hair, then turned his palm upwards and stretched out his hand to him. "Want me to hold you?"

Sanriyue was taken aback for a moment, showing a bright smile that could be forever frozen in everyone's memory.He held Lu Weiming's hand and stood up. "Greatful."

"San Riyue is so cunning, I want to hold hands with the master."

"I also!"

Seeing this scene, Jinjian and Akita walked over, Jinjian grabbed Lu Weiming's other hand, and Akita threw himself directly into Lu Weiming's arms.

When the song and dance performance entered the final stage, huge fireworks bloomed in the night, and the moment of youth was frozen in human memory at this moment and became eternal.

After the fireworks, it is the part of the ceremony to offer gifts to the host of the festival. Whoever the host likes the gift from the host of the festival can get a reward from the host of the festival. own mind.

"Aren't Natsume going to present a gift? This time the prize is quite interesting." Lu Weiming asked Natsume who was standing by and watching with them.

"Because I didn't know that there is a habit of giving gifts, so I didn't prepare a gift, and even if I knew in advance, I didn't have any gifts to offer." Natsume smiled embarrassedly, saying that he was just an ordinary person with nothing. people.

"No, you have."

Seeing Lu Weiming's smile, Natsume's first reaction was to touch the friend account in his bag.

This is indeed a treasure, but it was left by his grandmother Reiko, but perhaps this is the most valuable thing on him in the eyes of the monsters.Just when Xia Mu thought that Lu Weiming was talking about the account of friends, he saw Lu Weiming take out a pen from his sleeve and shake it in front of him.

"This is?!"

"This is the pen you bought. I just said I borrowed it, and I'm not a robber. I didn't say I wouldn't return it. Don't be so surprised." Lu Weiming's teasing words made Natsume a little embarrassed. "However, this should not be a good thing. Not only is it useless for me to hold it, but it may also be harmful. It should be a good thing for me to take it away."

"You're right." Lu Weiming nodded. "It's just that although it's not a good thing, it's still quite important, so in order to make up for your loss and to reward your help, someone asked me to bring a thank you gift."

As he said that, Lu Wei reached out his hand to dig in his sleeve, and finally took out a pot of grass that was as strange as a goldfish.

Natsume took the flower pot, poked the flower with his hands, and then watched the/strain(?) Goldfish swayed away from his fingers.

I don't know if it was Natsume's illusion, but he still seemed to see those pair of light bulb-like dead fish eyes glaring at him.

"Well, to be honest, I don't really recommend that you take this pot of snapdragon grass back home and grow it yourself. It just so happens that you don't want to give it as a gift. You can give it to Xia directly. Maybe you can get rewards." Seeing Xia Mu's complicated face Holding the flower pot in his hands, Lu Weiming couldn't help coughing, and then gave Natsume an idea.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Natsume really didn't think he would be rewarded for giving such a strange gift.

Natsume: But I still gave it away, because I really didn't want to take it back and raise it myself.
