You are a predestined person [comprehensive]

When Natsume came home, Mr. Cat was sleeping soundly under the window sill with a wine bottle in his arms.

It must be the intermediate level. They brought wine to the teacher again, and Natsume walked over to try to pull the wine bottle out of the cat teacher's hand to prevent him from falling asleep and spilling the wine on the floor.After pulling hard several times without success, Natsume shook his head, put away his schoolbag and went downstairs to eat.

Aunt Toko asked Natsume about Yato and Yukine several times at the dinner table. Natsume couldn't tell the truth, so she could only find a way to respond.

"Yes, Yato likes eating your cakes very much, and has praised you many times."

Aunt Tako picked up some food for Natsume, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just a very common pastry. If you like it, Natsume, you often bring some to him."

Natsume nodded while eating the dishes, "It's not ordinary at all, everything Aunt Tako cooks is delicious, even Teacher Cat likes it very much."

Uncle Zi agreed: "Yes, they are all delicious."

Aunt Tazi narrowed her eyes with a smile, "You two...really."

Natsume enjoys the relaxed atmosphere of chatting with his family very much. He doesn't remember the scene with his parents when he was a child, but it must be very pleasant and happy.

After dinner, Natsume helped Aunt Tako clean up, and went back to the room with a few pieces of snacks Mr. Cat likes to eat.

The wine bottle fell to the side, but fortunately, the teacher had already drunk a few drops and did not spill it. Teacher Cat was lying on the floor with his belly open, moaning and muttering for some reason.

Natsume sat next to him, put the snack in front of Mr. Kitty's nose and shook it.Teacher Cat sniffed his nose, turned around chasing the smell of food, and finally woke up.

"Natsume." Sitting on the floor, the cat teacher rubbed his eyes with his short hands, and lazily called out to Natsume. His tone was a little dissatisfied. He probably thought that Natsume disturbed his sleep, but this little dissatisfaction was in his arms. After the plate was eaten, it disappeared.

Natsume told Mr. Cat what happened in the cherry blossom forest and the dream he had last night in detail while he was eating.

As expected, Mr. Cat danced and expressed his dissatisfaction with his promise to help the monster.

Natsume spread his hands helplessly, "But I have already agreed, teacher, please help me think about it, is there really no way to summon the master of Sakura Forest?"

The cat teacher held the plate and pouted, "If you want to directly summon the monster in your friend's account to you, you need to have seen the monster and know the name of the monster, just like you summoned Sanxiao last time. The owner of Sakura Forest is only Reiko has seen it before, and it is logically impossible, but..."

Natsume watched him but didn't have anything to say for a while, so he hurriedly urged, "But what, teacher?"

Teacher Mao thought for a while, as if recalling something, "I heard about this method a long time ago, you have to find something that the master of the cherry blossom forest has instilled demon power in, and then find another god who is stronger than her , through a complicated formation, so that she can roughly find her location by following the demon power."

Seeing Natsume's serious thinking, Teacher Cat added: "I don't know much about formations. You have to trouble C. Ah! Speaking of this method, it seems that she told me a long time ago."

"Bing should help me. As for the gods... Teacher, is Yato strong?" Natsume suddenly raised his head and asked.

Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes when he heard Natsume's question, "I'll say it against my will, this cheap god," he paused, "very strong."

"Compared to the teacher?"

Mr. Cat immediately jumped up and waved his little paw, "What are you talking about, Natsume? How can that rascal compare to me? I can pin him to the ground with one finger and can't get up!"

Natsume shrugged helplessly: "I know, I know, the teacher is the best."

Teacher Cat stopped the bombardment very well, and lay lazily on the quilt after eating and drinking.

"There should be no problem with the formation and the gods. As for the things that the master of the cherry blossom forest has instilled with demon power, Wu Shi said that she has been away for a long time, and I don't know if I can still find them. I will go to the cherry blossom forest tomorrow and ask."

"You really care about it." Teacher Cat squinted at him.

"Anyway, the owner of Sakura Grove is an old acquaintance with Reiko. I also want to find her and return her name."

"You're just meddling!"

Natsume scratched her hair helplessly, "I'll pay attention next time."

The next day, just after school, Natsume hadn't even stepped out of the school when Mr. Cat jumped onto his shoulder from the wall outside the school.

Nishimura was startled by the cat teacher's sudden jump, patted his chest, and teased with a smile: "So it's Natsume's cat, are you here to pick Natsume up from school?"

Teacher Cat didn't want to talk to him, and didn't even meow.

"Teacher, you are getting heavier and heavier!" Natsume hugged Mr. Cat from his shoulders to his hands, and smiled apologetically, "Nishimura, Kitamoto, I still have something to do. I'm going in a different direction from you. I'm leaving today."

Kitamoto looked at Natsume's running back and worried, "What's wrong with Natsume these two days, she's so mysterious, she doesn't know where to go after school."

Nishimura lifted the schoolbag up, and took Beimoto's words, "Hasn't Natsume always been mysterious, don't think about it, let's go!"

"That's right." Bei Ben smiled, hooked Nishimura's shoulder, and walked towards home.

On the way to the cherry blossom forest, I passed Yato's shrine, and yesterday I promised to bring steamed buns to Yukine, which happened to be cheaper for Mr. Cat.When they arrived at the shrine, Yato and Yukine were lying on the quilt and sleeping soundly. The evening sun shone on the ancient wooden floor, and the two looked very comfortable.

Mr. Cat walked into the shrine with a steamed bun in his mouth, and stepped on Yato's face.

Yato was frightened, and sat up covering his face, and Mr. Cat rushed out of the shrine immediately.

"What did you guys do last night? You slept all day?" Natsume walked over and patted Xueyin's shoulder who was still sleeping soundly.

Xueyin woke up in a daze, saw the food bag in Natsume's hand, and sat up excitedly.

"Isn't it strange Yato! I posted a small advertisement with him all night! Finally, I went back to the shrine in the morning and wanted to sleep, but I received a call from a customer. The wish I made was for us to tear up all the small advertisements."

"Then you ripped up the small advertisement all morning?" Natsume couldn't help laughing.

"I told you not to put small advertisements on other people's signboards, Yato will definitely not listen." Xueyin complained.

Yato was aggrieved, "I think it's more conspicuous to stick it on someone else's signboard..."

Xueyin was completely desperate for the idiot master's way of doing things, and bit the steamed bun angrily.

"By the way, Yato," Natsume took out a five-yuan coin from his pocket and handed it over, "Please do me a favor."

When Yato saw the five-yuan coin, his eyes lit up, but he didn't pick it up. He looked at Natsume and asked, "What's the matter?"

Natsume told the truth about his desire to help find the owner of Sakura Forest.

Yetou lay back on the ground with his arms pillowed on his head, and refused straight away, "I won't help you monsters."

Natsume looked at Xueyin, and Xueyin was also very helpless, "We really only kill monsters, this is the first time I've heard of helping monsters."

"Yato, there are good people and bad people, and there are good and bad monsters." Natsume sat closer to Yato, trying to persuade him, "Will you help bad people fulfill their wishes?"

Yato didn't answer, but Xueyin thought for a while and said, "I don't remember it."

"I helped." Yato closed his eyes, Natsume's sincerity and kindness prevented him from saying anything against his will.

Xueyin obviously thought of something, and fell silent after Yato finished speaking.

Natsume originally wanted to make a wish to get Yato to agree to help him, but he didn't expect Yato to be so repulsive to you and refused. He asked this question completely unintentionally, but it seemed to hit Yato's painful memories. I kind of regret asking that.

Natsume apologized: "I'm sorry Yato, everyone has things they don't want to do, I shouldn't force you."

Seeing that Yato still had his eyes closed, Natsume felt that he must be a little angry and didn't want to see himself, so he stood up and said goodbye, "I'll go first."

When turning to leave, Yato suddenly sat up and took his hand.Natsume turned around in surprise.

Yato opened his fingers and took the five-yen coin that Natsume had been holding in his palm.

"I'm helping you fulfill your wish." Yato looked up at him.Although he wanted to help Natsume, he didn't want to admit that he was actually helping a monster.

Natsume recovered from the surprise and realized that Yato was willing to help him. Although he didn't know how troubled Yato was, Natsume was very grateful and nodded with a smile, "Yes, to help me."

Yetou snapped his fingers in the air with his right hand, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Then, your wish will be accepted by me, Yetou."

When Natsume came to the cherry blossom forest, Wushi was leaning against a dead cherry tree.There was a breeze blowing, lifted half of his white mask, and Natsume saw clearly that there was a very handsome and delicate face under the mask.

"Master has instilled something with demon power?"

"Yes." Natsume nodded.

Wushi took Natsume to the house where the owner of the cherry blossom forest lived before. Except for the two clothes in the closet, a few books and pens on the table, there was nothing else.

Natsume was a little regretful, Yato finally agreed, but he was stuck here, "Are you sure she didn't leave anything else?"

Wu Shi sat on the bed where his master used to be, with his silver-white hair spread out, he thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Can I?"

With Natsume's puzzled expression, he took Natsume to the side of the huge bluestone outside the yard, and told Natsume about him and the owner of the cherry blossom forest.

"In the past, there was no cherry blossom forest here, only a piece of bluestone growing from the ground." Wushi said here, his eyes were a little nostalgic.

"It was a foggy morning, and the owner came here. She liked this place very much. She built two houses here and planted many cherry blossoms that she likes very much. At that time, I couldn't transform into a human form, and I couldn't speak. , I can only look at her quietly every day. Within a few years, the cherry blossom trees here have bloomed. In spring, the cherry blossoms in the sky spread from one end to the other, and many of them fell on me. The owner is that It was the first time when I talked to me, she brushed away the cherry blossoms falling on the bluestone, and told me to let me grow up to accompany her. It was also at that time that I realized that she should be very lonely, she has always been alone She made tea, brewed wine by herself, and no friends she knew came to visit her."

When Natsume was listening to Wushi's words, he kept looking at the stone quietly, and was surprised to see some very small cracks on the back of the stone.

"Since then, I have thought that I must grow up quickly and transform into a human form, so that I can talk to her and accompany her. It was also on a foggy morning that my master woke me up. At the beginning, I was not as tall as this stone. The owner often hugged me and sat on her lap, and fed me the cherry blossom tea she made. The tea is very fragrant, and her embrace is also very warm. It should be I've been the happiest I've ever been."

Wushi noticed that Natsume was looking at the cracks on the bluestone, and explained: "One summer there was a big thunderstorm, the wind blew down several cherry trees, and a bolt of lightning struck the bluestone. Those cracks are that From the outside, it was only a small crack, but the stone inside was shattered a lot. At that time, I almost thought I was going to disappear. It was the master who instilled demonic power in me, helping me little by little. I recover."

Natsume knew that the only clue left by the owner of Sakura Forest to find her was Wushi.Natsume didn't interrupt his memory, he could see that Wushi missed it very much when he said this, and the days at that time must have been a very happy time.

"I thought that my master and I would always accompany each other like this. In spring, we would make wine and bury it under the cherry tree, and in winter, we would take it out and warm it on a small stove. We would just watch the cherry blossoms bloom and fall year after year, but she gone."

"Why?" Natsume couldn't help asking.

"That spring, the master suddenly said that he was going to visit a friend far away. I was very happy. The master had people besides me to accompany her. But I couldn't go with her, because Qingshi couldn't move, and I was too far away from Qingshi It will disappear. The master said that she will definitely come back before winter, but I didn’t wait for her until the snow covered the entire cherry blossom forest. Until the spring of the third year, just like you saw in the dream, she I cried for a long time under the cherry blossom tree, and she didn’t answer what I said to her. She buried this blooming cherry blossom forest with her own hands and never came back.”

Natsume could hear the loss in Wushi's words, he didn't know how to comfort him, but this aroused his determination to help Wushi even more.He looked at the withered and yellow cherry blossom forest in the spring and felt it was a pity. He turned to Wushi and said, "I still need help from a few friends. I will come to you at this time tomorrow. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you." Find her."

Wushi went to dig out a small jar of wine under the cherry blossom tree in the yard, and handed it to Natsume, "This is the wine I brewed with the master. This is the last jar. Thank you, Natsume."

Natsume didn't want to accept it at first, but the cat teacher who had been dozing off and staring at the two in the distance ran over immediately when he saw the wine. He opened the lid, sniffed it twice and then licked it, patting his chest drunkenly, "Don't worry, kid, I'll help you."

"Teacher!" Natsume said helplessly.

During the day, Natsume had asked the intermediate to notify C, and at night Natsume was cleaning up the house, when he turned around, he saw C, who was wearing a dark purple kimono, sitting on the window sill.She lit the cigarette, and the smoke curled up. She tilted her head and smiled at Natsume, "What are you looking for me so late? Do you want me to attack you at night? Natsume?"

Natsume sighed, he had never been able to do anything about C's lack of seriousness.

The author has something to say: I feel that the writing is so slow-but fortunately, Natsume and Yato are not proactive people, so the relationship between the two should be slow first_(:з」∠)_
