[Comprehensive] Eight Pearls Summon the Beast

When her master's charm declined, Natori Monday appeared. Guaji instantly put aside her doubts about her master, and returned to Natori respectfully, causing Natori to look at her in surprise, but Soon he showed a modest smile again, and said to Shinano: "Nobuna-kun, can I call you that?"

Shinano nodded and said, "Yes, you are her master?" She pointed to Guaji behind her by name.

Natori said: "Yes, I am Natori Monday, you should have heard my name. She is my Shikigami Guaji."

Shinano: "No, I haven't heard of it."

Natori froze, pushed his glasses pretending to be calm, and then said to Shinano: "By the way, Shinano-kun, is this your first visit to the city?"

Gua Ji: Master, has your charm really not declined?

Of course, Natori couldn't hear Gua Ji's abdominal distension. In fact, he also doubted whether his charm had really declined, but he denied this idea within two seconds after staying in his mind. It must be that Shinano-kun was too ignorant. Not that his charisma has gone down!

Thinking of this, Natori's mood instantly improved.He put aside the previous topic, and talked about the festival with Shino again.

Natori Monday is worthy of being a popular actor, his voice is modest but not overly forceful, he knows a lot, he can match his interests, and he takes care of Shinano's face and doesn't talk too much to make people annoying.

Shinano: "Festival? Is it fun?"

Natori kept a modest smile, and said to Shino: "This is the Sakura Festival, a festival to reward the gods, but its meaning has changed a lot since it was passed down. Although it is still a festival held to reward the gods, it has also added a lot of games. Many students bring their friends, and now it’s more like a celebration among friends.”

"It's very interesting, Shinano-kun, would you like to take a look?"

Shinano's eyes were shining, he looked at Natori Monday, and said, "Of course!"

It is the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. This street corner park is lined with cherry blossom trees. When the wind blows, the fallen flowers are colorful, with a refreshing aroma, rushing towards the face.The food stalls are also full of special snacks, and the bosses in white robes and chef hats try their best to attract business.There are young couples tasting food intimately, and there are also high school girls playing games with their friends.

Natori walked on Shinano's right, thoughtfully shielding him from the crowd to avoid being hit, and adding food names for him from time to time.Then he found that the young man was really innocent, and he was very curious about the things around him, as if he had never seen them before, but his appearance and temperament did not look like ordinary country children, so this letter must have something not simple .

Indeed, Shinano grew up in a church before, and there were no such activities at all. When he arrived in Kyoto, he was supervised by Shuangsuke and Lifang, and he was not allowed to go out at night except to go to Kona House, so he had no experience of participating in festivals!

And the world here is different from his world after all, he has never seen many food items, the most amazing thing is the TV he saw at Aunt Tazi's house!He had never seen this thing in his world, it was amazing!

Shinano came to a shooting game booth, as long as he hits five balloons, he can get a prize, and if he hits all ten balloons, he can get their treasure!

Shinano's eyes lit up, but when he thought that he had eaten up all the pocket money given by Aunt Tazi, and there was no money in his pocket to play, Shinano's eyes dimmed again.

Natori could tell what Shinano was thinking at a glance, and he said, "Nobuna-kun, I was very sorry before, in order to make amends, the expenses of today's festival should be paid to me, don't worry."

Shino's eyes were puzzled, he thought it was Guaji who was blocking him, but when he heard that the expenses were all on him, Shino cheered, started shooting, and then... nothing!

Ten bullets missed a single balloon!

Shinano's face was gloomy, and a strong resentment rose behind him.

Natori coughed lightly to prevent himself from laughing, and seeing Shinano turned to look at him, he silently picked up the gun.

In the end, Shinano smiled and hugged the treasure of the town store—a shepherd dog puppet of the same height as Shinano, with Murasame on his head, and one person and one crow happily sang songs as if no one was watching.Everyone at the festival smiled kindly, looking at the pair of Shinano and Murasame.

Natori walked beside him, looking down at Shino slightly, thinking that this young man is really amazing, he can feel pure happiness when he is with him, the restlessness in his heart seems to have calmed down, and the "mole" is also quietly gone. move.

After enjoying the game, Shino's affection for Natori increased by more than one percentage point, Natori delivered Shinno home, at the door of Fujiwara's house, Shino and Natori thanked each other, and then asked hesitantly: "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea? "

Natori was slightly surprised, and he refused with a smile, "It's a little late today, I don't have anything in my hand, it's really impolite to go in, I'll visit another day."

Just as Shinano entered the door, Natori suddenly said, "Nobuna-kun."

Shinano: "Huh?"

Natori lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice. The setting sun behind him stretched Natori's figure so long that Shinano couldn't see his expression clearly at this time.

☆、Natsume's Book of Friends 5

[What do you think monsters are? 】

Monster... what is it?This was the question Natori asked him that evening, and he asked Shino, "What kind of existence do you think monsters exist?"

He didn't know why Natori would suddenly ask these questions, but he felt that something bad would happen if he didn't answer well, he turned to look at Natori, and replied, "Although I don't know why you asked this question, but if If it is me, I am very grateful to the monster."

Natori obviously didn't expect such an answer, he was taken aback for a moment and asked, "...why?"

Shinano embraced Murasame, with the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes fell on the crow, the clear trust and gratitude in his green eyes, he said: "When I was 13 years old, everyone in the village including me They were all killed, because they were afraid of the disease in the village, they burned my village. I have always been in poor health, but I have two good family members. Between death and life, I chose to live. Shuang Jie Ah, one of my family members, he was not attached to anything, even alive, but I dragged him down abruptly in order to keep him.” He paused, and when he talked about his family, his With soft eyes, "I chose to live with Murasame, without it I will not live."

His tone was calm, without the slightest hatred of the whole village being wiped out, but Natori could feel the sourness and pain of losing his family and being helpless in Shino's eyes, which the world called sadness.

At the age of 13, when all the children were in junior high school, he had already died once. What kind of sadness is this when he saw the village burned and his family members killed?And how much courage do you have to coexist with monsters and endure the irreparable pain of people around you leaving one by one?

Shinano will never forget what he saw at the beginning. The fire engulfed the house and the lives of the villagers like the god of death. Sibai and Zhuangjie lay lifeless on the ground covered in blood, his abdomen He was also severely slashed, bleeding profusely. The ten-year-old Binji had tears all over his face, crying and asking Shinano to take her with him. His eyes were full of scars, blood, ruins, and no light could be seen in the smoky sky.

Later, Li Fang brought Cun Yu to him and asked him to choose - life or death.

He chose to live, he wanted to live.

Shinano said: "Not all monsters are good, and there are good and bad people, but I am very glad that no matter whether it is a human or a monster, I met very kind to me."

Natori pursed her lips and said nothing.

Shinano continued: "Sometimes, the human heart is scarier than monsters."

His eyes are serious and sincere, obviously he is a child, but when he is serious, he feels surprisingly reliable, not like what a child said at all.

In the end, Natori didn't say anything, but before leaving, he showed a modest smile and said that he would visit next time.

"Nobuno, what's wrong?" Natsume said.

Pulled out by Natsume from yesterday's memories, Shinano was taken aback for a moment before realizing it. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and asked Natsume, "Natsume, what do you think a monster is?"

Natsume paused, and he asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Shinano looked at his right hand, and then said: "A friend asked me such a question yesterday, and I want to hear Natsume's answer."

Natsume recalled the man who delivered the letter yesterday evening, so he could see it clearly because he was in the room on the second floor. They did stand at the door for a long time yesterday, but Natsume couldn't hear their words clearly because they were so far away. question.

Natsume's expression was a little dazed, and then he slowly said: "When I was young, I could see things that others couldn't see, including monsters, and even touch them. I told the relatives who took me in about this But they couldn't see it, and neither could the kids my age. They thought I was lying to get their attention. Then I stopped telling others that I could see monsters, and sure enough It’s much less troublesome, but sometimes because I can see monsters and do some strange things, everyone thinks I’m a strange person.” Speaking of this, Natsume smiled embarrassedly, with nostalgic colors in his eyes, "In fact, those monsters are also very lonely. Their lives are so long, but humans can't see them, and they can't talk to humans."

"Many monsters are actually very similar to humans. They also have feelings, are attracted to humans, and even help humans. I always thought I could see monsters before, and I was very troubled by this. But since I have a friend account, I met Mr. Kitty, met a lot of monsters, and gradually getting to know monsters. I don’t feel that being able to see monsters is a distressing thing. On the contrary, I’m very glad. Monsters have purer feelings than humans, and they can help in return The human beings who have passed them are very persistent even if they just say thank you to the human beings."

"Like that monster?" Shinano said, pointing at Tsubaki who was standing by the window.

Yan Wenyan, the female monster with a white cloth on her eyes, looked back at Shinano, and immediately turned her head away, not daring to look any further.

Shinano's face bulged when he saw her action, Natsume couldn't help smiling, touched Shinano's hair, and said: "Yan doesn't hate you, it's just that you are too angry, and Yan is just a little uncomfortable. "

"Really? But why don't I feel it?" Xin Nai looked around him, but he didn't feel any anger. He could only say that Yan, like Ling Yin, was very sensitive to other people's breath.

"Nobuno doesn't feel it himself, but Yan doesn't hate Shinano." Natsume said.

Yan was a chick who died shortly after birth. She was a low-level monster formed by resentment for death. When she was hiding in the grass, a human mistook her for a wild dog and gave her food every day. Yan was very grateful.Because of the bondage, she couldn't leave Erye Village. This time, it was also because of the ebb tide that she was able to leave after seeing Natsume and attaching herself to him.When Erye Village is submerged by high tide in a few days, all the monsters living in Erye Village will sleep at the bottom of the river, so at this last time, Yan wants to meet her benefactor and say thank you to him.

Natsume was moved by Yan's persistence and decided to help Yan.

In the next few days, Natsume helped find Yan's benefactor. Natsume and Yan were very happy when they saw that person. Unable to see her, Natsume suddenly felt a feeling of sadness as she walked past the jumping Yan Yan again and again.

Shinano, who stayed at home obediently for a few days, saw that Natsume was about to go out. Outside the window, it was already getting dark. This is the time when youkai are most active.

Shinano was a little puzzled and asked, "Natsume, do you want to go out now?"

Natsume said: "Ah, I want to go out for a while, Shinano, you stay at home and don't run around, I will be back soon."

Shinano watched Natsume leave with the cat teacher and walked to the window until Natsume was nowhere to be seen.

He knew what Natsume was going to do, there was a competition in Yokai today, and the winning prize was a yukata.Natsume wouldn't have participated if that was the case, but that yukata has a magical function that turns the youkai who wears it into a human for a day.

Yan is a monster, humans can't see her, and her benefactor naturally can't see her either. Although Yan said that she is very satisfied, Natsume feels that this is not a real meeting, and Yan must have regrets in her heart, so he this time Going is also for Yan.

Teacher Cat said that Natsume was nosy, but he still went with Natsume.Shinano also wants to say that Natsume is an idiot, but there are not many such idiots in the world.To do this for the sake of monsters, obviously...obviously what?

——Obviously a brat younger than him!

Natsume said that he no longer hates the ability to see youkai.

Yan had already left the next day. Natsume and Shino found Yan's benefactor and saw their group photo, and Xia Mu knew that Yan couldn't see at all.

Because he died before he opened his eyes when he was born, he can't see even when he becomes a human.

Natsume felt melancholy for a moment, then smiled softly, and said to Shino, "I have done what I can."

"Are you an idiot? Obviously, you don't have to do this. For that bathrobe and so many monsters, if it weren't for Mr. Cat, you would have been trampled into meat paste!"

Shinano said angrily, but seeing the reprimanded person looking at him with a smile on his face, Shinano became even more angry!

"Xin-chan was here yesterday." Natsume still looked at Shino with a smile.

Shinano was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said, "It's not because I'm worried about you, anyway, there's Mr. Kitty here! I, it's because I'm bored... I want to see it, don't think too much about it! Hmph, you're a human, you can't use any Lingli, don’t you know how to ask Mr. Kitty for help?! Natsume idiot..."

Seeing Natsume looking at him softly, Shinano was a little bit speechless, but thinking of Natsume always disregarding his own safety because of monsters, Shinano couldn't help but have the urge to beat him up!

Natsume Shunmao: "Yes, yes, Xinchan is worried about me, I am very happy. But..." Natsume's tone changed, "Xinchan is the same, two days ago I heard from the little monster that a very powerful big man came to the forest, Many monsters have been bullied."

Speaking of this, Shinano felt a little guilty, because of Yan's affairs, Natsume had no time to play with him these days, and Mr. Cat went to drink again, so he went to the nearby forest to play.There are a lot of little monsters living there, it's very fun, just tease them, it's definitely not bullying! ╭(╯^╰)╮

In the days that followed, there were still many monsters looking for Natsume to return their names, and Natsume also received a lot of memories of Grandma Reiko, and learned what kind of person Grandma Reiko was.Occasionally, some mischievous monsters tried to snatch the friend's account, but they were all beaten away by Mr. Kitty and Shino.Natsume got along with humans more harmoniously, and made more friends. One of them, Kaname Tanuma, could also sense monsters, and seemed to live in a temple in Yahara.

Natori also really visited the Fujiwara couple on Monday, and brought a gift, which seemed to be a specialty somewhere.Aunt Tazi was so coaxed by him that she wanted to treat him like her son!With a modest smile, well-dressed clothes, handsome appearance, and superb acting skills, he deserves to be a popular actor!

But Teacher Cat doesn't seem to like Natori Monday very much, and always blows his hair at him. ╮(╯_╰)╭

"Gua Ji, it's difficult for you to be so quiet."

"Master, the breath of Shinano-sama is too strong for us."

"Really, so it is."

☆、Natsume's Book of Friends 6

The short summer vacation passed, and Natsume went back to school, but Shino was obsessed with TV.

Obviously it’s just a small square box, but there are various interesting things such as people and animals in it. Natori heard that Shinano likes to watch TV, and specifically said that he is an actor, and his works can be seen on TV.

After watching Shinano on TV, I realized that Natori seems to be quite famous, and many TV programs have invited him to be on the show.

Recently, Shinano has become obsessed with a cartoon called "The Big Bad Wolf and Baa-Baa". Watching Shinano being teased by the big bad wolf, he rarely even goes out, so he has the illusion of a "bear child".In this regard, Natsume just sighed helplessly, but Mr. Cat expressed his deep contempt for Shinano.

After watching today's "The Big Bad Wolf and Baa-Baa", Shinano stretched his waist and looked at the sky. It was almost time for Natsume to finish class.Thinking that Natsume was "left out" because of watching TV during this period of time, Shinano was a little embarrassed, turned off the TV, and went back to Natsume's room to wait for Natsume to come back.

As soon as the window rang, Shinano opened the window. He thought it was Murasame who went out to play, but he didn't expect it to be Mr. Cat, "Mr. Cat, why are you so dirty?!" He frowned, and finally carried him to the bathroom, "Where did you go, you made it so dirty, Natsume will definitely beat you when he comes back and sees you like this."

Shinano, who spent half an hour bathing Mr. Kitty, looked at the black beckoning cat that hadn't changed in the slightest, with a "..." expression on his face.

Shinano poked Mr. Kitty's belly, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you wash it off?"

"I'm back, ah, Shinano... this is... Teacher Kitty?" Natsume saw Shinano and Teacher Kitty in his room as soon as Natsume came back, but Teacher Kitty had changed a little. →_→

Shinano and Natsume stared at each other, the door was suddenly opened, and the drunk Mr. Cat came back with a wag.

"Natsume, little one... hiccup... I'm back..."

Quiet, dead quiet.

When Mr. Cat saw that no one was paying attention to him, and saw another lucky cat in the room, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he frowned, "Natsume! Who is that?!"

Teacher Cat acted like a baby and rolled over, telling Natsume not to let him go, sobbing and pretending to cry.

"Woooooo, Natsume doesn't want me anymore." Roll to the left.

"Hey, Natsume, you actually brought another cat back." Roll to the right.

"Whoa, whoa, Natsume, you liar." Roll to the left again.

Natsume:"……"

Shinano pinched the back of Mr. Kitty's neck, his face was dark, with a black background filling his back, "Who were you calling just now?"

Teacher Cat froze, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, "Meow, meow..."

"Bam—!"

"Meow--!"

Natsume:"……"

Shinano: ╭(╯^╰)╮

"Ahem, okay, Mr. Kitty." Natsume finally interrupted the disconnection between Sensei and Shino. He looked at the black beckoning cat, and then at Mr. Cat, "Exactly the same except for the color."

Shinano was also very strange, but he took a closer look at the black beckoning cat, and found that apart from its appearance, this one had a different breath.The breath of the black beckoning cat is very weak, and it comes and goes, as if blocked by something.And this kind of breath should be at the level of a big demon, but why is it trapped in the body of the lucky cat, the breath is still intermittent, and I haven't heard him speak so far, so can't I speak?

Because of Shinano's drink, Mr. Cat's wine is now sober.He looked at the black lucky cat, and felt a sense of awkwardness, as if looking in a mirror, but the cat happened to be black...

"Natsume, is the account of friends still there?" Teacher Cat suspected that it was a trick for the account of friends. "Maybe it was sent by other monsters to lower your vigilance."

Natsume was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the pocket where the friend's account was placed, "The friend's account is still there." Natsume took out the friend's account, and then a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, Natsume's hand was empty.

Natsume:"……!"

Cat teacher:"……!"

"Meow! Dare to snatch things under the eyes of my uncle...it's unforgivable!!!" Cat teacher instantly picked up Natsume's collar and changed back to the original body, ran out of the window, and chased after the black beckoning cat .

Shinano reacted one step ahead of Natsume and the others, and followed the black lucky cat out of the window, but the figure was too fast, and it disappeared in an instant in the woods.

"Damn it, Murasame isn't here." Shinano just thought of Murasame when he heard Murasame's voice from the sky.

Shinano took Murasame to find Teacher Kitty and Natsume, "Natsume, Teacher Kitty, have you seen that black beckoning cat?"

Natsume looked worried, "No, it disappeared somehow." His face was a little strange, he put his hand on his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't think he has any malicious intentions, but it seems more like he deliberately led us here."

Shinano noticed a flame appearing on the path ahead of them, "What is that?"

Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes, "That's fox fire, there are so many... Get down quickly." He pinned Natsume to the ground with his paw.

Natsume looked uncomfortable, "Mr. Kitty, you... hello—heavy."

Teacher Cat: "...use my breath to cover it up first, if they find that there are humans here, you just wait to be treated as an appetizer."

Natsume: "...but, Mr. Kitty...you are really... so heavy..."

Shinano who was still standing: "..."

One of the walking monsters suddenly stopped, and said to his companions, "Why do I seem to smell the breath of humans?"

The companion wondered: "Humans? How is that possible." He sniffed, "It must be the smell of beasts. How could humans come here."

Veins popped up on Mr. Cat's forehead, "...the smell of a beast? Damn it, why do I have the smell of a beast on my body, I want to tear these offal into pieces!"

Natsume's face was dark, and he pulled Mr. Cat's paw and said, "...Mr. Cat, calm down!"

The monster continued: "Hmph, human beings are the most abominable, and they have harmed their master like this. This time, we must teach human beings a lesson!"

His companion echoed: "That's right, this time all the monsters in the forest are gathered together to avenge the master and show some color to humans!"

After hearing what they said, Shinano and Natsume were afraid that something serious would happen.

At this time, a burst of pink light appeared in front of their eyes, condensing into a female monster wearing a pink kimono with a butterfly decoration on her right eye. She looked at Mr. Cat and said, "Master Madara, whenever I see you, your appearance Still so charming."

She looked at Natsume next to Madara, and before she could make a sound, she suddenly became terrified, and then she noticed Shinano behind Natsume, the aura of this child was really terrifying.

Teacher Cat: "This is Red Bee, I didn't expect to see you here."

Red Bee fixed her gaze on Natsume, "Who is this child?"

Teacher Cat: "He's Natsume."

"He is Natsume-sama?!" Red Bee forgot to control her volume when she got excited.

"Bam—"

"Stupid! Don't be so loud!"

Teacher Cat slapped Red Bee on the ground with one paw.

Natsume: "..." It turns out that Mr. Cat doesn't show mercy even to female monsters.

Hongfeng straightened her clothes, with a nonchalant expression on her face, "Oh, who is this lord?" Shinano's aura was too strong, and it was a coercive force for a weak mid-level monster like Hongfeng.

"He's Shinano." Teacher Cat said.

"What happened just now? What are those monsters going to do?" Mr. Cat looked down at Red Bee, but his flat tone showed that Mr. Cat was like a high-ranking person because of the coercion of high-level monsters and the tall prototype.

The red bee first looked at Mr. Cat with admiration and fascination, and then explained the reason for the gathering of monsters.

The Lord of the forest with powerful demon power distributed his power to the inferior monsters and let them live in the forest.Known by the monsters as "Lord Lord", he used to become a human being and went to the village to play but was caught by a trap. He was rescued by a hunter and often went to him. Once he attacked livestock, he was sealed under the wall of a red brick house. .

Humans sealed their lord lord, and the monsters decided to attack humans in order to save him, and specially held a forest banquet for this purpose, gathering all kinds of monsters.

"Humans are really disgusting creatures, greedy, selfish and cruel. That's why I hate humans the most." The red bee's eyes clearly showed its disgust for humans.Natsume, who is a human being, is a little embarrassed. He was told by the monster that he hated humans, alas...

However, when he heard the news that monsters were going to attack humans, Natsume immediately became serious, "They are going to attack humans, this... Teacher Kitty..."

Teacher Mao knew what Natsume wanted to do at a glance. He said, "Natsume, don't meddle in other people's business. There are so many monsters that you can't handle. I don't want you to die at this time."

"Nobuna..." Natsume shifted his gaze to Shinano again.

Now that he knew that monsters were going to attack humans, Shinano naturally couldn't sit idly by. He showed the demon sword form that Murasame had transformed into, and grinned, "How can I be missing in this kind of thing."

Natsume smiled, and then looked at Mr. Cat again.

Teacher Cat knew it would be like this. Natsume always meddles in his own business. In this way, he will be killed by monsters in a short time, and he will be able to get the account of friends. Obviously this is very good, but Madara himself can't explain why he will Promised to go with Natsume and Shinano.

"Before you go, you need to cover up." Red Bee wrote something on a white cloth strip, and asked Natsume to wear it, "Lord Shinano, you don't need it. You have a strong demonic aura, so you don't need to cover it up."

Shinano didn't care, he went to the forest banquet with Natsume, Red Bee and Mr. Kitty.Here, the monsters drank and chatted, during which Natsume was suspected, but fortunately, the red bee reacted quickly and got away with it.

Natsume and Shinano heard the gratitude and respect of the monsters to the lord, and also heard their disgust for humans. As a human, Natsume felt very complicated.At this moment, the black beckoning cat appeared, Natsume was stunned for a moment and immediately chased after it.

Teacher Cat and Shino also followed, and sure enough, the black beckoning cat snatched the account of friends to lure Natsume there. Natsume wanted to return the name to him, but the monster who used the beckoning cat as a container could not use friends Account to find the name.

"My lord looks like this, I'm afraid they won't believe it either." Red Bee also didn't know the real name of lord lord, so Natsume suddenly found himself in trouble.

Seeing that Natsume was not there, those monsters came to ask Natsume and the others to attack the human house together. The white cloth strip Natsume was wearing on Natsume's face was pulled off before Natsume. The monsters knew that Natsume was a human being, and they were very angry. Broken Natsume!

Teacher Kitty roared and overturned the monsters who were charging up, Shino knocked those monsters back with a slash of a knife.

Although Natsume was very scared, he still tried to calm down. Finally, under Natsume's concentration, he heard the name of their lord shouted in the heart of the monster. Natsume used the account of friends to find the contract with the name of the lord, and he tore it off. , folded and bit on the mouth, and poured out the breath.

"I'll give you my name back, Lizhui."

The main body of Tanuki who got the name was released from the sealed house with high red walls, a flash of white light flashed, and a young man with white wings appeared in front of the demons.White feathers fell from the sky, surrounded by a soft halo. The young man with short blue curly hair and white kimono had a peaceful face and looked at them softly, like an angel descending!

Natsume and Shinano were stunned. They didn't expect that Tanuki, the high-level monster and the Lord of the Forest, had such a holy body. He didn't look like a monster at all, but more like an angel in a church portrait!

"Thank you for stopping them and avoiding a disaster for mankind." The young man's face was soft and holy, and he finally looked at Shino, "It's very comfortable to take a bath, thank you." It turned into a little light and disappeared into the forest.

Having avoided a disaster between humans and monsters, Natsume and Shinano breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and unconsciously smiled.

Afterwards, Natsume went back to school, and Shinano sometimes wandered around their school, saw the house with the red high wall that once sealed Tanuki, thought of the man who looked like an angel, and felt that the world seemed not bad.

☆、Natsume's Book of Friends 7

Winter is coming soon, and Natsume has a rare vacation, so he takes Mr. Kitty and Shino to Shibaharano.This is a forest, and there is a stone statue in the middle of the forest, which is the host of the monster guarding the forest.

This stone statue has the ability to purify the forest and dispel evil spirits.

I heard from Mr. Cat that they used to be a pair, but one of them was broken because of humans, and there was only one left.

Shinano stepped forward to touch the stone statue, the cold touch made him tremble, and he immediately stretched out his hand and rubbed it.A snowball was thrown at him suddenly, Shinano staggered, almost fell, turned around and glared, but found that Natsume was looking at him with a smile on his face, holding a snowball in his hand, and there were a few pinches at his feet. Good luck snowballing.

"Nobuano, let's play snowballs."

"No, it's too childish!" Shino refused without hesitation, but Natsume automatically ignored his words, and a snowball hit Shino's head again!

╰_╯╬

Shino's expression changed, and he started a snowball fight with Natsume.He must be ashamed! ! !

The two played for nearly two hours, and Mr. Cat went to find something, leaving Natsume and Shino alone.The two were leaning against the stone statue exhausted, and at this moment something happened!One day, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the stone statue, circled in mid-air, and then rushed straight towards Shinano!

"Give me your body!" Black Shadow suddenly shouted.

Shinano turned sideways to avoid the black shadow, but he didn't expect that the black shadow suddenly turned a corner. His target was not Shino from the beginning, and the energy on his body was too strong, so the black shadow didn't dare to attach himself to him, so He slapped around and selected Natsume, who was human at first glance.

But today, this black shadow is destined to be unlucky when he meets the monster's nemesis, Shinano.

Natsume couldn't react in time, so he just dodged to the side subconsciously, but his speed was not as fast as the black shadow who was a monster, and he saw that the black shadow was almost sticking to Natsume's face, but suddenly there was a strong burst of force on Natsume's neck. Blue light shook the monster away, and with a burst of thrust, the black shadow possessed himself on the snow rabbit he had just pinched next to Natsume!

Snow Rabbit stared blankly at his body, moved his small body towards Natsume and Shino, and then said, "I'm sorry, I need a body urgently to attack you, because I have something to do thing."

Hearing what he said, Natsume was moved with compassion, he gently hugged the snow rabbit, his brown hair and light eyes seemed to be shining under the sunlight, soft and unbelievable.

Perhaps touched by Natsume's gentleness, Snow Rabbit told Natsume one by one about his origins, hoping that they could help him.

He said he knew that Natsume was the one holding the friend account, and he was going to find someone this time.Then he told Natsume and Shino about guarding the stone statue, about Cui who accompanied him was destroyed by humans and disappeared...

Natsume brought the snow rabbit named Gen back home and put it in the room.

After that, Natsume and Gen looked for Tsui together, sometimes with Shinano and sometimes with Mr. Kitty, but there was no news of Tsui after standing for a long time.

I heard that the seal in Shibahara was broken, and the evil spirits came out. There have been strange incidents happening there recently, and the trees burned for no reason. Many people say that it is the evil spirits.

Natsume and Shinano took Xuan to the place where the evil spirits appeared. This is an abandoned temple full of spider silk and dust. Shinano got goose bumps all over his body as soon as he entered. He has a cleanliness habit and feels uncomfortable when he sees the environment here. And he could feel that there was a lot of resentment here.

Xuanmu was sad, he could feel that Cui was here, Cui who had become... an evil spirit.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up in the quiet hut, and a group of black shadows rushed towards the crowd. Shinano hurriedly pulled out Murasame to avoid Tsui's attack.

Cui sees that Nobuo is not easy to mess with, so she shifts her target to Natsume instead.Cui rushed up, but was stopped by a burst of bright light when approaching, and could no longer get closer to Natsume!
