[Comprehensive Manga] In Shimosakamoto

Natsume Reiko - her human friend, who was never seen again after she gave her his name.

She waits for her every day, every day under the cherry blossom tree——

until the flowering period is over.

There was no trace of the girl with a gentle smile in her field of vision anymore.

The hope of getting up early every day gradually accumulated into deep despair as the sun went down.

Are human beings as forgetful as monsters?

Youkai will not take some people or some things to heart because of the long time.

It turns out that humans can do it too?

Weak human beings who have been in a hurry for a few decades can be like this...

The corner of Sakura's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, hey, human beings are just like her initial impression, selfish and ugly.

With the gradual accumulation of despair and disappointment, Sakura seldom went to the cherry blossom forest, and she began to wander in the world.

By chance, she crossed the gap of time and space, and met a fair and delicate young boy.

From the moment the boy was born, he rarely had external emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and was dull and serious like a little old man.

Because of his excellent studies and well-behaved appearance, he has become a campus idol among kindergarten and elementary school students, although he is only seven or eight years old.

Even though his brilliance has been so dazzling that the male classmates in the class completely isolate him, his charisma is amazing, and there is never a shortage of flowers around him to set off and accompany him.

Sakura has been accompanying him all the time, watching him habitually accepting the difficulties of his classmates, habitually resolving them in his own way, habitually speaking obvious old-fashioned words, habitually living in the eyes of others A boring life.

Is Sakamoto an idiot?

Sakura watched another scene of campus violence happen to him, and she, who had been on standby all the time, fiercely took advantage of Sakamoto's carelessness to repair those immature and savage dolls.

See if you don't give way to Sakamoto's excellence!

Sakamoto didn't wear glasses when he was young, but he started wearing so-called plain glasses when he grew up, that is, after he was in high school.When he was young, his eyes were big and round black pupils, very cute, and his old-fashioned personality formed the "contrast cuteness" in today's popular Internet vocabulary.He likes to be alone, and the place he likes to stay is the library. Although he is only seven or eight years old, the amount of knowledge he has learned is comparable to an excellent college graduate.

Seeing that he is so sensible, his parents are happy to share with him the knowledge he wants to know.

Although I never expect my child to become an omniscient and well-known hero, but if I can help my child, they will help him understand this new and unknown world to him.

Sakura watched him change from a rigid and well-behaved boy to a cool and high-profile person, and then to the boy he is now.

A circular trajectory with a beginning and an end also reminded her of her own years.

That's right, the boy has just grown up, so she should feel relieved.

Accompanying him through several prosperous worlds, her experience is rich enough.

The two people in the past will become one in the future,

Although I was not used to it at first, but——

You'll get used to it eventually.

Because of the time thing...

The most ruthless.

It will devour your passion and reluctance——

The heart-piercing pain in the past, after a while, you will feel nothing at all.

time...

It will always go on and on.

After Natsume returned Sakura's name, she lay down on the mattress quite tiredly, panting softly.

In Sakura's memory, there is not only Reiko who has a close relationship with him, but also the growth history of a young boy.

Natsume wondered why Sakura didn't deliberately keep her and Sakamoto's memory, but let Natsume accidentally spy on it like an ordinary file.

and--

Will Sakamoto be a popular guy in the future?

It seems that you are still driving a spacecraft to live on distant Mars? !

Mistaking the female monster's memory as the future direction, Natsume turned her head in surprise and looked at Sakamoto who was sleeping peacefully.

"Good morning, Sakamoto."

"Sakamoto, this is my mother's bento, do you want to eat it?"

"Sakamoto, the teacher assigned homework, and I need to use a sketch pen to make a portrait of a character. Sakamoto-kun, can I ask you to draw?"

……

The daily life of Class A of the third grade kicked off smoothly with the sound of "Sakamoto" sentence after sentence.

"She really...hasn't left—"

Standing downstairs on the campus where Sakamoto was, Natsume, who was wearing a school uniform and white shirt, looked at Sakura standing outside the window and looking in, and a light of "it really is so" flashed on her delicate and clean face.

Teacher Cat stretched out his cat tongue and licked his paws with a lack of interest, and said a little cutely, "Because there is no official start, that guy won't just leave."

Natsume lowered his head, his eyes deepened, a little puzzled, could there be a distinction between formal and informal departures?

"Once a person has a bond, it takes a lot of courage to let go of it." Mr. Cat explained Ying's intention in one sentence.

That's right, even if it was Reiko who left her without saying goodbye before, but when she changed roles, she couldn't just leave without saying a word. She wanted Sakamoto to know that she existed, that in this world, even if no one Supporting him, but there used to be a monster behind him, watching him silently.

Does she want him to see the world as she sees it, will it please and open his eyes?

Perhaps a monster's gaze is too hot,

Sakamoto raised his head as if feeling something, and glanced through the black glasses outside the window where there seemed to be no other living creatures except birds flying by.

call……

Sakura squatted down and dared not get up again. She never thought that Sakamoto, with an adult soul, would be so charming when he turned into a child!

That's right, an adult soul!

18-year-old Sakamoto turned into a child inexplicably when he came to this world,

The windbreaker and shirts on his body are all gone.

A white light flashed,

Sakamoto, who was 181 cm tall, became what he is now.

"Sakamoto, get up and read the second paragraph."

The teacher seemed to have seen through Sakamoto's distraction, and the voice was a little harsh, calling his name, in line with "killing chickens to scare monkeys, so as to scare others"

However, it seems that Sakamoto, who seems to be in a trance, is proficient in double-tasking, and he recites fluently and emotionally as if he was on the hook.

The slight change in tone tended to be gentle, and everyone unconsciously pricked up their ears, listening carefully to the prose recitation brought by Sakamoto like a country tune.

As if infected by the quiet atmosphere, Sakura unconsciously closed her eyes, listening carefully to Sakamoto's recitation inside the window and the joyous singing of birds outside the window.

"Sakamoto." At the school gate after school, Natsume was waiting there early, waiting for the arrival of the new member of their family, Sakamoto.

"Sakamoto Sakamoto, remember, help me catch dragonflies tomorrow."

"Sakamoto, woo woo woo, can you help me find my lost bib? It's a boutique I haven't had in three years—"

"Sakamoto……"

"Sakamoto……"

Hearing his name before hearing his name, Sakamoto put his small schoolbag behind his back in a chic manner, and made a gesture of "I am still queer today".

"So handsome..."

"I really want him to associate with me, ahhhhh~"

"Sakamoto, I really like you..."

Compared with the green love of Natsume's era, the elementary school students at this time are very skillful in talking about love, and express the sorrow and joy of their children in a weird way in an adult way.

I didn't expect Sakamoto's popularity to be so high~

Xia Mu's eyes widened, and the surprise in his mouth was obviously in the state of not shielding Mr. Cat, "That kid is much more popular than you!"

Oh... After listening to his words, Natsume didn't feel that his self-esteem had been humiliated. He stretched out his hand and scratched his face. It seemed that Sakamoto was really popular.

Surrounded by Sakamoto, it is like a little green among thousands of flowers, eye-catching.

Sakamoto-kun, that's Sakamoto-kun. ——Sakura is hiding not far away, the girl holds her face in her arms like spring, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so cute.

"Sakamoto..." In the room, Natsume looked at Sakamoto sitting upright, his delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of entanglement and hesitation flashed in his warm brown eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed lightly.

Sakamoto was sitting face to face with him, and his shiny black eyes were like a clear lake, which made people feel comfortable and safe.

What to say?

Natsume was a little confused, because he didn't know whether children who were only seven or eight years old would believe in the so-called legends of ghosts and ghosts.If in case he told his origin, would he feel that he was a monster.

Sakamoto lowered his head, his black hair fell down, covering his deep and peaceful eyes, his tall nose and beautiful mouth were exposed to the air, and the perfect profile line made many people surprised and envious.

Just like the little prince in a fairy tale.

Natsume was thinking wildly in a daze.

"Do you think... in this world - there are monsters?"

Sakamoto:……

He lowered his eyes, his baby's fat face was a little unclear under the cover of hair.

monster?

There should be some!

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, sometimes his intuition told him that there seemed to be many secrets in the young man in front of him.

As soon as Natsume said the words, he regretted a little. How could he want to tell a child who was only seven or eight years old the secret he had tried so hard to hide, even though he actually wanted to tell him that there was a female monster by his side to accompany him .

"I believe that there are many phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science."

The child's voice didn't fluctuate in the slightest, and his words were straightforward, as if he was telling a real truth.

Natsume's heart slowly relaxed. Sure enough, Sakamoto was a little different from ordinary children.
