[Comprehensive + Onmyoji] Forced to transform into SSR

"Eventually I ran out to get the kid back. But when I just left the house, I saw him standing there in a dirty suit, with a lot of sand on his school uniform, as if he was It's like rolling in a sandpit."

"I still remember that he just walked past me silently with his head down, and when he came out with a change of clothes, he was still wearing grandpa's old clothes, which didn't fit at all." The girl said, feeling a little uncomfortable. She smiled sheepishly, "Grandpa's temper is a bit weird, and he treats me coldly. He is a very stubborn old man."

"A strange child and a stubborn old man. You can imagine how strange these two people are when they get along."

The girl remembered that when she was temporarily staying at her grandfather's house, she always watched the child being ordered by her grandfather to do various things.Sometimes before I got up in the morning, I heard grandpa's loud voice, asking the child to help with shopping, sweeping the floor, watering flowers and so on.

Although she didn't dare to contradict the serious-looking grandpa, she always saw the neighbors' aunts and grandmas often persuading the grandpa to treat the child better, and often sending the child clothes, food and even toys.

She still remembers that there was a big storage room in her grandfather's house, where many old books and old things were stored, and it hadn't seen the sun for many years. When she wanted to come there, it was full of dust and there were many unknown bugs.

But grandpa always drove the child into the storage room and asked him to tidy up things when he had nothing to do. She could almost imagine the pitiful look of the child sneezing desperately against a pile of dust in the storage room.

Then one day, the thing that impressed her deeply happened.When she was walking in the hallway of the house that day, she suddenly saw a very old-looking scroll lying on the ground.

At that time, her first thought was that the child must have taken it out to play when tidying up the storage room, but forgot to put it back.If grandpa found out about this thing and just left it here, he might be furious with that child!

So, she quickly picked up the scroll and prepared to send it back to the storage room.

However, the moment she picked up the scroll, she realized that she couldn't control her body at all, and she just tore that scroll... in half!

At that moment, she was almost about to scream, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.Even her own body began to uncontrollably hold the torn scroll in her hand and walk towards the door.

Although my grandfather's home is in Tokyo, it is in a relatively secluded place, a little far from the busy streets, and there is no too chaotic traffic around.So when she walked out with the torn picture scroll, and even crossed the road uncontrollably, luckily she didn't encounter any great danger.

But as time passed, she walked more and more remote, even though she was extremely scared in her heart, and even though the soles of her feet were already aching like they were worn out, her body was still walking forward uncontrollably.

Then I walked all the way to a small park far away from my grandfather's house, and walked straight to the lake in the park.Next to the lake, there is even a sign saying "Do not approach the deep water".

As she got closer to the river, she became more and more afraid.

It was at this time that she saw a small, somewhat familiar figure running over from a distance. When she saw her, the child adopted by her grandfather showed an expression of extreme horror.

He couldn't help but took a few steps back, as if he saw something very scary from around her.

At that time, she really felt that there might be a terrible monster lying on her body, controlling her limbs, first tearing up the scroll, and then trying to control her to throw the scroll into the lake .

They even... plan to let her take the picture scroll with her and fall into the center of the lake together, sinking to the bottom.

Maybe it was because the scene was so terrifying, she could only use the only eyes she could control to show a begging look to the child over there.But the other party was just a child, so how could he save her?

Then, something that really surprised her happened!

That child actually threw herself behind her, and then threw herself into the lake as if hugging something huge!

At that moment, an incredible wave of water splashed in the lake in the park. It was as high as an elephant being thrown into it!It was as if the child really exploded with amazing strength at that moment, dragging some big guy in her into the lake together.

And from that moment on, she suddenly regained control of her body and almost fell limply to the ground.

Maybe they heard the sound of splashing water, and all the people in the park rushed over.

When the child was rescued by a passing adult, although he was a little weak, his mind still seemed to be very clear. When he saw her, he smiled weakly, a smile that she still can't forget.

Then she noticed that the child was wearing a rare new dress.It seems that the aunt next door just delivered it a few days ago, but now it is soaked in water, and it is also stained with some unknown algae from the lake, and even stained.

Those people originally wanted to send their two children, one older and one younger, home, but the two children firmly disagreed, and even slipped away while they were not paying attention after recovering their strength.

Afterwards, the two children just sat on the lawn in the corner of the park for a long time, because the child seemed unwilling to go back so wet.And she was still young at that time and she was not sensible. Although she experienced such a thing, she was very afraid that her grandfather would scold her because of the picture scroll.

Because there was nothing to do, they were in a daze for a long time, and the two unfamiliar children chatted there.

"Why did you appear so far away?" In a park far away from home, she was rescued by a child living in her grandfather's house. No matter what the truth of the matter was, she still felt a little unbelievable.

"Because it's far away from the school." The children curled up together with their heads down, water dripping from their beautiful light brown hair, "they won't meet any familiar people."

"Just... what happened?"

She hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"..." The child was silent for a while, and then said in a weak voice, "Do you believe that there are monsters in this world?"

How did she respond afterwards?

Seems to be……

"Huh? How can there be monsters in this world!" She said proudly, "My mother is a doctor. I'll ask her when I get back. She must know what's going on."

After that, the child seemed to never speak again.

She couldn't remember what happened afterwards because it had been a long time.I just remember that when she went back with the child, the aunt next door seemed to have been nagging with grandpa for a long time because the child had soiled the clothes, and then grandpa got very angry and asked the child to continue cleaning the storage room.

Later, grandpa suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Although there was no danger, the child was quietly sent to other relatives by her parents.

Sometimes when she dreams about the scene that day, she still feels that if she explains to the aunt and grandpa what happened that day, maybe the child will not be sent away.

"Later, did your grandfather ask about that scroll again?" After hearing the young girl's "story", An Ran suddenly asked a little strangely.

"Painting scroll?" The girl combed her short hair that just reached her ears, with a puzzled look on her face, "Yeah, so far I can't remember whether I took the torn scroll back that day or not. Moreover, every year when I go back to visit the elderly , and he never asked me about the picture scroll."

"Maybe it's not an expensive picture scroll." An Ran smiled seemingly indifferently, but asked again, "But, even after going through such a thing, do you still think that there are no monsters in this world?"

Looking at An Ran and Shuten Doji who were sitting across from her and smiling, the girl nodded affirmatively and said: "It was just a strange accident. After all, so many years have passed, I can't remember it completely correctly, maybe there are many more. It’s a picture I imagined. However, I still go for a physical examination seriously every year.”

"Besides, it seems happier to be an ignorant person than to admit that there are monsters in this world."

"That's such a pity." An Ran looked at the girl in front of her thoughtfully, "After all, in my opinion, the world of monsters should be very exciting."

"Hahaha, do you mean on TV?" The girl seemed very optimistic, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Rena Ryuzaki. I'm going to Tokyo to visit my grandpa in the hospital. How about you?"

"My name is An Ran, and I'm going to go to Tokyo with this guy to find a friend and have fun."

Because he didn't think about giving Shuten-douji a pseudonym, An Ran simply skipped the introduction to Shuten-douji.

"However, because I am studying psychology, I really want to know what that child looks like now." Rena Longzaki looked out the car window with some emotion, "I heard my mother mention it occasionally before, It seems that all the relatives who adopted him treated him badly, and his personality was very gloomy, he couldn't laugh, he couldn't get along with others..."

"Maybe, if it's me now, I can find a way to make him optimistic." Rena Ryuzaki sighed, "I really want to see him again."

"Maybe he will meet other people who make him optimistic." After listening to the other party's narration for so long, An Ran suddenly felt that her attention to that "child" was a bit weird, and it seemed that she paid far more attention to a childhood memory.

I hope she just took that "child" as a research object as she said.Otherwise, the "child" who has grown up should have a headache.

An Ran couldn't help laughing when she thought of a certain friend and a certain cat who were lost in Tokyo.

Afterwards, neither An Ran, Shuten-douji, nor the girl spoke again.They all just sat quietly in their seats, occasionally looking at the scenery or taking a nap.In Anran's courtyard, there are still a few books that Gu Huo Niao bought from the Internet when he was teaching the world at home, and some of them are Chinese books that An Ran specially asked Gu Huo Niao to help buy, which just happened to come in handy at the moment.

And Shuten-doji was also very interested in An Ran's hometown very early on, so now he will quietly listen to An Ran explaining to him some of the contents that appeared in the book.

After the train arrived at the station, the girl said goodbye to An Ran and Shuten Doji very politely, and even left a contact phone number, and then hurried off the train first.

But An Ran and Shuten Doji just followed the crowd off the train slowly, and then stopped a taxi outside the station.Just like Natsume Takashi said during the call, the Kanai General Hospital is indeed a large hospital with a good reputation.

In addition, although taxis in Tokyo are relatively expensive, the drivers are indeed very experienced veterans, so An Ran and Shuten Doji arrived at the Kanai General Hospital very quickly.

Using the system's friend function to contact Natsume Takashi, making sure that both he and Madara had arrived at the hospital first, and after learning the old man's ward number, An Ran and Shuten-douji strode towards the hospital.

Speaking of which, An Ran originally thought that she would see the girl she met on the train at the entrance of the hospital. After all, the surname of the old man Natsume Takashi visited seemed to be Ryugasaki as well.But maybe it was because the girl chose a slower mode of transportation, so they unfortunately failed to meet again at the gate of the hospital.

After arriving at the door of the old man's ward according to the nurse's instructions, An Ran was somewhat surprised to see Natsume Takashi and the chubby white steamed bun sitting on a chair in the corridor to rest.Looking at the big bags and small bags around his friend, An Ran knew that Aunt Tazi probably had made sufficient preparations before he set off.

It seemed that they noticed the way Anran and the others looked at the two big luggage bags beside him, so Natsume Takashi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Aunt Toko always feels that the climate in Tokyo is a bit different from that over there, so I must tell you I need to bring more clothes. Then I’m afraid that I won’t be used to eating here, so I even prepared the snacks for Mr. Cat.”

Although the tone of his speech sounded like a complaint, Natsume Takashi had a very warm smile on his face, and that smile could clearly make An Ran feel that the other party was intoxicated in some kind of happiness.

To be able to meet Aunt Toko and Uncle Shi, and to be able to meet Madara, this is Natsume Takashi's happiness.

"Why don't you go in?" Shuten-douji looked in the direction of the ward, and the door there seemed to be unlocked, or even roughly closed.

"Well, because the old man is sleeping, the nurse means not to disturb him for the time being." Takashi Natsume seemed to pinch Madara's cheek nervously, "And to be honest, it's really nice to see that grandpa again. It’s kind of stressful.”

"Speaking of which, I also heard that you seemed to have a hard time when you stayed at that grandfather's house temporarily." Although I don't really believe that there are so many coincidences in this world, but after hearing about Ryuzaki Rena's After the surname, An Ran has already equated the weird child in her story with Natsume Takashi when she was a child.

"I heard?" Natsume Takashi glanced at An Ran with some doubts, but soon he was relieved, and said with a smile, "Although I don't know where you heard about An Ran, but at that time, I really felt that Very hard and tiring."

"At that time? What about now?" An Ran suddenly became curious. Could it be that with the passage of time, those hard-working memories were suddenly put on a beauty filter?

"I want to come now..." Natsume Takashi glanced at the half-closed door of the ward with some emotion, and then smiled, "If I think about it now, that grandpa may be a very good person."

good man?

Before An Ran had time to continue asking, she heard a cough coming from the ward.So An Ran walked into the ward with Natsume who got up suddenly, leaving only Shuten-douji and Madara in the corridor looking at each other.

"It's been a long time since I've seen drinking buddies, I never thought you'd look so stupid after not seeing you for such a long time." Shuten-douji said jokingly, looking at Madara who seemed to be fatter than when he left.

"You're still so vile." Madara narrowed his eyes and looked at Shuten Doji, "And you look like a wolf with a big tail who has succeeded in stealing. You know, when I saw you three months ago, I You thought you would spend your whole life with Meijiu, but you didn't expect to tie up that little Qingxing Lantern so soon?"

"That can't be helped. After all, my lovely partner is much more attractive than you imagined, but don't judge it by the standard of ordinary monsters." Shutendouji bent slightly, Then I lowered my voice to make sure Natsume Takashi, who is a human being, could not hear, "Speaking of which, I thought you were interested in that little human guy before. After all, you were inseparable at that time, but I didn't expect it to take so long It’s over, and you still don’t seem to have made any progress at all.”

"Drinker, what joke are you talking about? That's Reiko's grandson." Madara looked at Shuten-douji incredulously, "That brat and I are a teacher-student friendship."

"I don't know that Reiko." Shutendouji shrugged, "Unless that Reiko is the one you like, otherwise I don't see any problem with it."

Not to mention Jiu Tun-douji's messy red thread over there, An Ran saw the old man who had heard about it for a long time, but saw a real person for the first time.

Compared with the imagined widowed old man, that grandpa looked much more energetic.His pale hair was neatly combed, and he was not wearing a hospital gown, but was stubbornly wearing a dark brown kimono.Coupled with the extremely serious expression of the old man, the whole person looks very serious...and rigid.

"How decent is it for a boy to grow his hair so long? If you were that brat back then, I'll beat you out with a broom." The old man frowned and glanced at An Ran, then turned to Natsume Takashi , "You have grown taller and are very energetic. It seems that you have had a good life these years."

"Long time no see, Grandpa Ryuzaki." Natsume Takashi felt a little embarrassed because of An Ran being lectured, and couldn't help but look apologetically at his friend standing beside him.

"If the old man is so serious, he will be hated by his granddaughter." An Ran was not angry at all. Although there was a story about Rena Ryuzaki, there were too many loopholes in that story, and An Ran still preferred to believe Natsume Takashi's love for the old man. evaluate.

"Hmph." The old man snorted and turned his head to one side, then stretched out his right hand from the sleeve of the kimono, pointed at the place where Natsume Takashi was standing, and then pointed to a seat next to the hospital bed. Chair, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Thank you, Grandpa Ryuzaki." Natsume Takashi smiled, and first helped An Ran move a chair from the side, and then sat down on the chair designated by Mr. Ryuzaki, and asked with a smile, "See Grandpa Ryuzaki, your spirit is so good, I am relieved."

"When my son and the others sent the message, they wouldn't say it as if I was dying, would they?" The old man's expression was still serious, but his eyes seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with his son's possible actions.

However, without waiting for Natsume Takashi to answer, Mr. Ryuzaki continued: "Although the old man's health is indeed not very good, I don't want to see them crying, especially when they are secretly arguing about the ownership of my property. .”

"The old man is so energetic, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he is in poor health." Although the old man Ryuzaki seemed to be a little unwilling to pay attention to him because of what he said just now, An Ran who was sitting on the side still joked, "If you put If all the old man's property is used as the treatment fee, maybe I can cure the old man's illness."

"Looking at your current appearance, Takashi, you must have finally met someone who sincerely takes care of you, right?" Mr. Ryuzaki continued to look at Natsume Takashi as if he had completely ignored the existence of An Ran, and said, "But sometimes the You should be more cautious with friends. Look, your bangs are still too long for a high school boy, maybe it was infected by that annoying kid."

Ann Annoying Ran: "..."

"But..." Mr. Ryuzaki frowned again as if he had thought of something, "Your guardian will rest assured that you will come to Tokyo alone? You are too careless!"

"I made a strong request." Natsume Takashi quickly explained for the Fujiwara couple, "Although Aunt Toko and Uncle Zi are very kind to me, I still don't want to bother them. Moreover, this time I also came here with my elders " Thinking of the cat teacher who caused them to get lost on the way, Natsume couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"You are still the same as when you were a child, you haven't changed much..." Mr. Ryuzaki couldn't see any expression on his face, he just looked at Natsume Takashi with his eyes, and then said something that surprised both An Ran and Natsume Takashi "Can I still see things that don't exist?"

The author has something to say: 1. There are bugs in the story, after all, it is a foreshadowing, and after solving the puzzle, if there is an unclear explanation, then it is probably the author's fault, haha.

2. Mr. Ryuzaki said "Can you still see things that don't exist?" It is contradictory in itself. If it really doesn't exist, how can you see it?It can only be said that this is still related to the stubborn old man's character.

3. Baidu told me that Kanai General Hospital is in Tokyo, (╥╯^╰╥) shouldn’t be deceived, right?

4. Sure enough, the mirror wants to create some original plots that can be integrated into the work, but after all, the writing skills are limited, so I have to rely on the help of cute little angels, hahaha!
