"Yeah, I'm really sorry, this stubborn and old-fashioned old man is still your grandpa! Aren't you a college student? How come the more you study, the more vulgar your speech, you really don't look like a girl!" Grandpa Longzaki He was so angry that his beard almost blew up.
"I'm so sorry, but I'm a modern college student who lets go of himself." Ryuzaki Rena spread her hands and said.
"Speaking of which, does Ms. Ryuzaki still remember the story she told us when she was on the train?" An Ran suddenly began to look at Rena Ryuzaki, and then asked what was wrong.
"Story?" Ryuzaki Rena suddenly tilted her head, then looked at An Ran with a puzzled expression and said, "It seems that I fell asleep after greeting you two, did I tell any stories?"
Sure enough.
An Ran looked at Rena Ryuzaki with a blank face, and then asked another question with a smile: "Then, Ms. Ryuzaki, do you... believe in monsters?"
"Monsters? I don't really believe in monsters, but I do believe in Shenyin." Rena Ryuzaki seemed to have considered this issue very seriously.
Hidden?An Ran remembered the so-called disappearance, which seemed to be that some people suddenly disappeared mysteriously for a period of time, and then suddenly appeared in another place.All their memories during this period of disappearance seemed to have been completely erased and could not be recalled.
In this situation, it seems that these people went to a mysterious place during this period of time, as if they were taken away by God.
"I remember that time. Yes, it was the time when Natsume-kun was at grandpa's house. I just returned to grandpa's house from outside, and then appeared in a park far away in the next second. I don't know what happened in the middle What happened." Ryuzaki Rena thought for a while, and said, "Later, before I was brought home by my parents, I went to see that lake, but I still couldn't remember anything."
"All in all, I have been very curious about Shenyin since then, that's why I chose customs studies in college." Rena Ryuzaki said, whispering to An Ran, "After Grandpa knew my major, he almost Disconnect with me."
Not psychology, but customs?
After connecting all the clues in An Ran's mind together, a familiar-looking tobacco rod silently appeared in his hand, which was exactly the posture of Yan Yanluo transformed into An Ran's weapon.
Grandpa Ryuzaki said a few more words with his granddaughter, and then... In the eyes of everyone, Rena Ryuzaki suddenly became dazed, and then rushed towards Natsume Takashi again.
"Give me back the picture scroll!" Rina Ryuzaki seemed to have something else mixed in her voice at the moment, and she almost yelled in the direction of Natsume Takashi with desperation.
"What's going on?" Natsume was even more puzzled.
"I can't tell what it is for a while." An Ran stretched out the cigarette stick in his hand, stopped Long Qi Rena's forward body, and said, "Because it is too weak, if I hide it a little, it will make me feel It doesn't have the power of that thing. But it is estimated that since the last time she met you when she was a child, that thing has been by Miss Ryuzaki's side."
An Ran would use that bottle of mineral water to experiment on Ryuzaki Rena at the beginning, also because in the story told on the train before, the monster who haunted Ryuzaki Rena might not like water very much.The power of mineral water seems to be able to make Ryuzaki Rena get rid of that thing for a short period of time, far less than the lake that Natsume jumped into with that thing.
An Ran guessed that after the thing was brought into the lake by Natsume Takashi, it must have been weak for a long time, so it is not known whether the picture scroll is in the hands of Ryuzaki Rena or Natsume Takashi.It's just that Ryuzaki Rena returned to the lake again in order to remember the matter of Shenyin... That thing probably entangled Ryuzaki Rena when she was a child at that time.
Later, Rena Ryuzaki left Tokyo directly. After confirming that the little girl possessed did not have a picture scroll, that thing seemed to believe that the picture scroll must be on Natsume Takashi's body, and even formed an obsession to find Natsume Takashi .
It's a pity that none of the Ryuzaki family seems to know where Natsume Takashi went after being adopted by others.
So this time, that thing may have known that Takashi Natsume would come to Tokyo, so it would have an impact on Rena Ryuzaki and make her come to Tokyo as well.
An Ran didn't pause for too long, and directly threw a cigarette stick on Ryuzaki Rena's body.Before An Ran could do it for the second time, Takashi Natsume was surprised to see a big smoky ghost appearing on Rena Ryuzaki's shoulder!
"Could it be this chubby monster?" Naturally, Natsume Takashi didn't know what the smoky kid was, and thought it was a monster with such a funny appearance.
"I'm not a chubby monster, I'm Yu, and I'm a monster in the air!" The monster introduced itself, flew to Natsume Takashi's side, and then desperately hit Natsume Takashi's head with his now chubby body head.It's a pity that after being turned into a smoke imp by Yan Yanluo's skills, that monster completely lost its attack power, even if it hit Natsume Takashi, it was just like soft cotton.
"Little devil! Return the scroll you took away! After that day, you must have taken it away!"
"I'm sorry." Natsume Takashi couldn't help apologizing because the other party looked very anxious.But to be honest, Natsume Takashi seems to have experienced more monsters, and he couldn't remember the memory of the picture scroll for a while.
In fact, Natsume Takashi has nothing to do with that scroll.
"Is this what you want?" Maybe because he turned into a smoky ghost, Mr. Ryuzaki was able to see the funny guy who ran out of his granddaughter, and then took it from the drawer of his bedside table. An old picture scroll was produced, and it was just thrown on the bed near the smoky kid.
Even Ryuzaki Rena could only stare at the smoky ghost in the hospital bed in a daze at this moment, completely unaware of what happened.
"I didn't expect that the little episode that happened so many years ago has not been resolved until now. Even if it is a monster, it is too ridiculous." Natsume Takashi and his granddaughter with puzzled faces, "That day, someone came to my house in a hurry and said that my granddaughter was acting very strangely and heading towards the small park. At that time, I went to that small park with some worries."
"Where is grandpa?" Rena Ryuzaki couldn't remember the scene at that time because she was possessed by Yu during the whole process.
"When I passed by, I didn't see Guizhi, only Reina surrounded by people." The old man looked at the old scroll on the bed, and continued, "I heard that the child rescued from the lake Sneaked away, and on the ground lay the picture scroll torn in two."
As the old man spoke, he unfolded the scroll. It was a very ordinary landscape painting, but there were repair marks that could not be concealed in the middle, letting An Ran know that the painting had indeed been torn apart.
"Picture scroll! Picture scroll!" Yu, who had turned into a smoky ghost, rushed forward, but after sensing the picture scroll, he suddenly burst into tears.Although the current posture made Yu unable to cry, but from its crying, it was not difficult to hear that this monster was really suffering.
"It's gone! It's gone! I can't feel anything!" The monster was still crying after a while.
"Don't cry!" The cigarette stick in An Ran's hand hit Yu's body again, maybe this can prolong its posture of the smoke kid, "If you don't explain clearly what happened, I will just use this cigarette The rod will keep you what you are forever.!"
"..." Maybe it was because An Ran changed himself into this funny look just now, allowing Yu to see the opponent's strength.So now hearing An Ran's threat, Yu quickly stopped crying, and then began to explain his identity.
As Yu introduced himself before, it is a monster in the sky that cannot touch the water and the ground. When resting, it can only stay on the favorite tree and look at the lake below.
And there is also a monster named "You" in the lake in that park.You is a little fish demon, looks a bit like a mermaid in legend, with a very beautiful long blue hair and blue crystal eyes.
That is simply the most beautiful monster it has ever seen...
Perhaps it was because Yu's description was mixed with too many personal emotions, so no one present could be sure whether the monster named You was really that good-looking.
"I always watch You from the tree, but You seem to be just playing happily in the water most of the time, maybe you don't even know I exist." He strokes his long hair as he flies by, but he seems to take it as a prank."
"Later, I left that park for a while due to business. When I came back, I saw a human coming to the lake with that scroll, and led You into that scroll!" Yu sounded a little excited, "That human must have sealed You! I asked the seniors in the clan, it looks like a scroll, but it must be a human spell, so just tear off the spell, and You can come out!"
"So you controlled Ryuzaki Rena to tear up the scroll?" An Ran suddenly felt that the monster in front of her was too innocent, "And then? Was Yu released?"
"..." Even in the appearance of a smoky kid, An Ran seemed to be able to see that Yu's mood immediately became depressed, "There was no reaction, and then I remembered what the seniors in the clan said, maybe it was because the power of the spell was too strong. Strong. In this case, as long as you bring the talisman to a place where Yu can use his full strength, you can break free from the talisman."
"That's why you want to take that spell into the lake." This time, An Ran did not use a questioning tone, but said affirmative sentences.
"Yes, there is no power at all up there now." After Yu turned into a smoky ghost, his big head was almost lowered to the scroll, "It's been so long, Yuhui has been given by the spell..."
"That's not a spell." Grandpa Ryuzaki, who had been listening quietly, also said at this time, "The human being you saw by the lake should be a friend of mine. He is a good novelist, and his pen name is Cooking island snails. We have a good friendship, so I know he can see things that I can't see. Kishi, some of your actions are so similar to when snails see monsters, so I will Guess you might be able to see that world too."
After speaking, Grandpa Ryuzaki turned his head to look at the misty ghost again, and said: "The name of this scroll is called Shuidu scroll. It is not a spell, but a treasure that my friend got by accident. It is said that this scroll can The deceased can be extradited to the other shore, but at the same time, it can also provide a temporary place for those deceased who do not want to go to the other shore."
"That day, he said that he met a monster who was attacked by other monsters by the lake and was seriously injured. The monster cried and asked the snail to save his name, saying that he had something to do. The snail was so entangled. The only way is to temporarily put him in the water ferry scroll when his breath is getting weaker, and say that we can think of a way for him after a while."
"If that's the case, why is the picture scroll in your storage room!" Yu seemed a little unwilling to believe this.
"The snail put the water scroll at my place, saying that if the dead soul staying in the water scroll is too far away from the place of death, there may be unknown dangers. But I didn't expect that I received the snail in a short time. The news of his death." Thinking of his friend's death, Grandpa Ryuzaki also let out a long sigh.
"That painting just stayed in my home, and my wife really likes this painting." Grandpa Ryuzaki reached out and stroked the old surface of the scroll, with nostalgia in his eyes, "but just after her death , I found a letter from her in the room, saying that she hoped that I would keep the Mizuto roll in the storage room. To be honest, I originally planned to use the Mizuto roll as my wife's funeral .”
"Revenant?" Yu mumbled these two words, and then his voice became a little lost, "So you are dead?"
Even if he didn't die, after tearing off the scroll, he probably would...
Looking at the monster in front of her, An Ran resisted the urge to say those words, but walked to the hospital bed and used her strength to probe into the picture scroll, hoping to see if it was really hopeless.
"It seems that it is precisely because the scroll has lost its power that the entire scroll is completely closed." After feeling the composition of this treasure scroll, An Ran said somewhat uncertainly, "I can feel that when the scroll When it has power, the entrance of the scroll seems to be open, and even the dead souls living in it can move around the scroll. It may be because it was torn in two, and this power has completely disappeared.”
"Because of... me?"
Because the effect of the smoke ghost has passed, Yu seems to have finally turned back into a monster. Floating in mid-air, Yu has a pair of wings that are as black as the night. His short black hair and petite body make him look much more immature than imagined.At this moment, Yu's purple eyes, which were somewhat similar to Shuten-douji, were filled with sadness.
"Hey, let's give it a try." An Ran put her hand on the scroll, and then tried to instill her own strength into the scroll.
Even though Mr. Ryuzaki and Rena Ryuzaki could no longer see Yu at this moment, everyone in the ward seemed a little nervous when they saw An Ran's actions.
"Yu?" After a long time, an extremely weak voice came from the scroll.
"You! You still remember me!" Yu, who always felt that she was only in unrequited love, was almost about to fly in the air.
Just when Yu was very excited, a translucent figure gradually emerged from the scroll, just as Yu said, with long blue hair and blue eyes, and even the tail of the lower body is beautiful silver blue.However, this beautiful monster's face was pale, and his eyes and expression were extremely weak.
"You! You're still here! That's great!" Yu couldn't help but stepped forward to hug You, because he was out of the water, so the hug that Yu dreamed of almost made him reluctant to let go for the rest of his life.
"Maybe it's because I'm a monster that I persisted for so long..." You looked at Yu who was hugging him, then hugged him with his back, and said in a voice like crying, "I can finally hug Yu like this, I'm just now It is this wish that has persisted until now.”
"I've seen that monster." Natsume Takashi suddenly remembered something, because he didn't want to disturb Yu and Yu's meeting, so he lowered his voice slightly, "I was really scared when I entered the storage room for the first time, even Don’t dare to look for the light switch in the dark storage room. The only window in the entire storage room is not transparent, and it needs to be opened to illuminate the entire storage room.”
"At that time, an old man who looked very friendly appeared outside the window with that monster, and even helped me open the window of the storage room." The surprised expression on Natsume Takashi's face seemed to last for a long time, "That's right. While chatting with me, the old lady helped me find many interesting books hidden by Grandpa Ryuzaki."
"If books are not read by others, what is the meaning of existence?" Takashi Natsume repeated the words that Grandpa Ryuzaki said before, "That grandma told me completely at that time. Same words."
"Zhizi." Under Anran's suspicious eyes, old man Longzaki read out a name.
"Isn't Zhizi grandma's name?" Longzaki Rena didn't understand why grandpa called grandma's name at this time.
"Yeah, Zhizi chose to enter Mizutomaki just to be by her husband's side, and wanted to be by his side." Because Yu refused to let go no matter what, Yu could only maintain the posture of holding Yu , Looking back at Mr. Ryuzaki, he said.
As for Mr. Ryuzaki, who couldn't hear the voice of lobbying, he could only rely on An Ran and the others to convey him, knowing that his wife had actually stayed by his side for a long time.
"Why am I not surprised?" Mr. Longzaki showed a bitter smile in front of An Ran and the others for the first time, "Apart from her, who else would sneak into my house to clean the house, and even put every How about putting everything in the place I am most used to?"
"She didn't have time to say goodbye to you, but she was smiling when she disappeared." You still hoped that Anran and the others could convey for him what the "roommate" who had been with him wanted to tell her husband The words, "She said, let you take good care of that adopted child, that is a good child who has suffered."
"I owe that grandma a thank you." Up until now, Natsume had just learned that the grandma in his memory was actually the dead wife of Mr. Ryuzaki, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
When everyone in the ward fell silent, Yu found that the body belonging to You that he was holding was becoming more and more transparent, as if it would disappear before his eyes in the next second.So Yu quickly shouted: "You, no matter where you go, take me with you!"
"Impossible." Yu looked at Yu in front of him, his blue eyes seemed to be filled with sadness, "Where I am going, Yu can't go."
"I said..." An Ran felt that if she didn't interrupt the two confused monsters in front of her, it might be too late, "Don't you guys still think that guy with black feathers is still a living monster?"
"..." Both Yu and You seemed to be stunned by An Ran's words.
"After being locked in the picture scroll for so long, You's power has almost completely disappeared, so you can't feel it, right? Yu's power at this moment is more like a weak ghost than a monster." An Ran didn't forget that Yu started Controlling Ryuzaki Rena's body, when he wanted to attack Natsume Takashi, he was only blocked by a small smoke rod, and he no longer had the strength to move forward.
What's more, that guy has been possessing Ryuzaki Rena's body for so long without a sound, but he doesn't occupy Ryuzaki Rena's body, it's almost like a back spirit.
"I have already..." Feather, who had been a little forgetful from the beginning, remembered, "Yeah! I was in a hurry to go back to the park that day, and when I wanted to find you, I was already..."
Asuka and Yuyu are both weak monsters in this world, they have no ability to protect themselves, but they admire each other uncontrollably.
One always hides in a tree, secretly watching the figure that occasionally jumps out of the water.
And the other always hides under the water, looking up from below the water's surface to the sky that he cannot reach.Occasionally jumping up from the water, I also hope that the winged figure can fly over and caress his hair by the way.
"But after all, being able to hug like this is already the most beautiful thing in the world." Yu and You looked at each other, saw the smiles in each other's eyes, and said in unison.
When the figures of the two monsters became more and more transparent in the ward, until they turned into stars in the sun, they flew out of the window with a gust of wind and went to the distance.
This time, they are no longer unable to touch each other, but intertwined with each other, there is me in you, and you in me.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen. It's like a dream." After listening to An Ran and Natsume Takashi's narration, Ryuzaki Rena was really surprised, and her head seemed to be much clearer. Reminds me of something I thought I had forgotten.
When Rena Ryuzaki looked at Natsume Takashi again, she remembered the scene in her memory of the child being bullied by his peers, and the scene of being chased by invisible things, and finally couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that , That little guy who was bullied back then turned into a handsome guy."
"Natsume..." Ryuzaki Rena looked at Natsume Takashi, then at Mr. Ryuzaki, "If the adopted family is not good, why not continue with grandpa..."
Before Ryuzaki Rena finished speaking, Natsume Takashi's phone rang in his pocket.
"Aunt Tako?" After Natsume answered the phone, he heard a concerned voice on the other end of the phone, and quickly responded, "Well, I haven't forgotten anything like the suitcase, don't worry, I will definitely protect the phone and wallet carefully of."
"Yes, Mr. Cat obediently disguised himself as a puppet and got into the car."
"Aunt Toko, do you want me to bring back some souvenirs? No? What, Aunt Toko, you also stuffed some snacks and specialties, and sent them to Grandpa Ryuzaki? Okay, I understand."
Ryuzaki Rena did not continue talking, after all, the smile on Natsume Takashi's face was definitely not fake, and the happiness in that smile even seemed a little inexplicably envious to her.
"Natsume!" At this moment, the door of the ward opened again, and Madara rushed in, followed by Shuten-douji who walked in slowly.After seeing Shuten-douji, An Ran gave him an OK gesture, telling him that the matter that made him suspicious had been resolved.
And when Madara jumped onto the hospital bed unceremoniously and rushed towards Natsume Takashi, he was still yelling: "How long do you want me to wait outside? And what happened to that weak breath just now?" ?”
Natsume, who was being served by Madara with her cat's paw, could only show a begging expression in embarrassment.But after a while, he smiled and hugged Madara, and introduced to Mr. Ryuzaki who was sitting on the hospital bed: "This is Mr. Kitty, a trustworthy teacher." Because Mr. Ryuzaki already knows that his eyes can see Youkai, so Natsume Takashi has no intention of concealing Madara's identity at all.
"Oh?" Looking at the cat like a white steamed bun in front of him, Mr. Ryuzaki was very interested, and sat up a little more before he said to Natsume Takashi, "Talk to me about the family that adopted you, and this The fat cat thing. Although I don’t like the world that I can’t see very much, but if you want to find someone to talk to, sit here and chat with the old man.”
"Thank you, Grandpa Ryuzaki!"
Seeing the sunny smile on Natsume Takashi's face, even the serious Mr. Long couldn't help curling his mouth.
Even if this child is not by his side, he has grown into a very good child...
In order to leave the ward to Natsume Takashi and Ryuzaki's grandparents, An Ran just dragged Shuten Doji out of the ward.Thinking that the sun was shining outside, they simply held hands and walked to the small garden downstairs of the inpatient department.
Feeling the warmth of the sun shining on their bodies, An Ran and Shuten-douji just found an empty rest chair and sat down.Then, An Ran let go of her strength, and just let herself lean on Shuten-douji's shoulder, half-closed her eyes, feeling a little drowsy under the sun.
"What kind of person is that old man?"
"Hmm...a very warm person..."
"I'm so sorry, but I'm a modern college student who lets go of himself." Ryuzaki Rena spread her hands and said.
"Speaking of which, does Ms. Ryuzaki still remember the story she told us when she was on the train?" An Ran suddenly began to look at Rena Ryuzaki, and then asked what was wrong.
"Story?" Ryuzaki Rena suddenly tilted her head, then looked at An Ran with a puzzled expression and said, "It seems that I fell asleep after greeting you two, did I tell any stories?"
Sure enough.
An Ran looked at Rena Ryuzaki with a blank face, and then asked another question with a smile: "Then, Ms. Ryuzaki, do you... believe in monsters?"
"Monsters? I don't really believe in monsters, but I do believe in Shenyin." Rena Ryuzaki seemed to have considered this issue very seriously.

"I remember that time. Yes, it was the time when Natsume-kun was at grandpa's house. I just returned to grandpa's house from outside, and then appeared in a park far away in the next second. I don't know what happened in the middle What happened." Ryuzaki Rena thought for a while, and said, "Later, before I was brought home by my parents, I went to see that lake, but I still couldn't remember anything."
"All in all, I have been very curious about Shenyin since then, that's why I chose customs studies in college." Rena Ryuzaki said, whispering to An Ran, "After Grandpa knew my major, he almost Disconnect with me."
Not psychology, but customs?
After connecting all the clues in An Ran's mind together, a familiar-looking tobacco rod silently appeared in his hand, which was exactly the posture of Yan Yanluo transformed into An Ran's weapon.
Grandpa Ryuzaki said a few more words with his granddaughter, and then... In the eyes of everyone, Rena Ryuzaki suddenly became dazed, and then rushed towards Natsume Takashi again.
"Give me back the picture scroll!" Rina Ryuzaki seemed to have something else mixed in her voice at the moment, and she almost yelled in the direction of Natsume Takashi with desperation.
"What's going on?" Natsume was even more puzzled.
"I can't tell what it is for a while." An Ran stretched out the cigarette stick in his hand, stopped Long Qi Rena's forward body, and said, "Because it is too weak, if I hide it a little, it will make me feel It doesn't have the power of that thing.

An Ran didn't pause for too long, and directly threw a cigarette stick on Ryuzaki Rena's body.Before An Ran could do it for the second time, Takashi Natsume was surprised to see a big smoky ghost appearing on Rena Ryuzaki's shoulder!
"Could it be this chubby monster?" Naturally, Natsume Takashi didn't know what the smoky kid was, and thought it was a monster with such a funny appearance.

"That day, he said that he met a monster who was attacked by other monsters by the lake and was seriously injured. The monster cried and asked the snail to save his name, saying that he had something to do. The snail was so entangled. The only way is to temporarily put him in the water ferry scroll when his breath is getting weaker, and say that we can think of a way for him after a while."
"If that's the case, why is the picture scroll in your storage room!" Yu seemed a little unwilling to believe this.
"The snail put the water scroll at my place, saying that if the dead soul staying in the water scroll is too far away from the place of death, there may be unknown dangers. But I didn't expect that I received the snail in a short time. The news of his death." Thinking of his friend's death, Grandpa Ryuzaki also let out a long sigh.
"That painting just stayed in my home, and my wife really likes this painting." Grandpa Ryuzaki reached out and stroked the old surface of the scroll, with nostalgia in his eyes, "but just after her death , I found a letter from her in the room, saying that she hoped that I would keep the Mizuto roll in the storage room. To be honest, I originally planned to use the Mizuto roll as my wife's funeral .”
"Revenant?" Yu mumbled these two words, and then his voice became a little lost, "So you are dead?"
Even if he didn't die, after tearing off the scroll, he probably would...
Looking at the monster in front of her, An Ran resisted the urge to say those words, but walked to the hospital bed and used her strength to probe into the picture scroll, hoping to see if it was really hopeless.
"It seems that it is precisely because the scroll has lost its power that the entire scroll is completely closed." After feeling the composition of this treasure scroll, An Ran said somewhat uncertainly, "I can feel that when the scroll When it has power, the entrance of the scroll seems to be open, and even the dead souls living in it can move around the scroll. It may be because it was torn in two, and this power has completely disappeared.”
"Because of... me?"
Because the effect of the smoke ghost has passed, Yu seems to have finally turned back into a monster. Floating in mid-air, Yu has a pair of wings that are as black as the night. His short black hair and petite body make him look much more immature than imagined.At this moment, Yu's purple eyes, which were somewhat similar to Shuten-douji, were filled with sadness.
"Hey, let's give it a try." An Ran put her hand on the scroll, and then tried to instill her own strength into the scroll.
Even though Mr. Ryuzaki and Rena Ryuzaki could no longer see Yu at this moment, everyone in the ward seemed a little nervous when they saw An Ran's actions.
"Yu?" After a long time, an extremely weak voice came from the scroll.
"You! You still remember me!" Yu, who always felt that she was only in unrequited love, was almost about to fly in the air.
Just when Yu was very excited, a translucent figure gradually emerged from the scroll, just as Yu said, with long blue hair and blue eyes, and even the tail of the lower body is beautiful silver blue.However, this beautiful monster's face was pale, and his eyes and expression were extremely weak.
"You! You're still here! That's great!" Yu couldn't help but stepped forward to hug You, because he was out of the water, so the hug that Yu dreamed of almost made him reluctant to let go for the rest of his life.
"Maybe it's because I'm a monster that I persisted for so long..." You looked at Yu who was hugging him, then hugged him with his back, and said in a voice like crying, "I can finally hug Yu like this, I'm just now It is this wish that has persisted until now.”
"I've seen that monster." Natsume Takashi suddenly remembered something, because he didn't want to disturb Yu and Yu's meeting, so he lowered his voice slightly, "I was really scared when I entered the storage room for the first time, even Don’t dare to look for the light switch in the dark storage room. The only window in the entire storage room is not transparent, and it needs to be opened to illuminate the entire storage room.”
"At that time, an old man who looked very friendly appeared outside the window with that monster, and even helped me open the window of the storage room." The surprised expression on Natsume Takashi's face seemed to last for a long time, "That's right. While chatting with me, the old lady helped me find many interesting books hidden by Grandpa Ryuzaki."
"If books are not read by others, what is the meaning of existence?" Takashi Natsume repeated the words that Grandpa Ryuzaki said before, "That grandma told me completely at that time. Same words."
"Zhizi." Under Anran's suspicious eyes, old man Longzaki read out a name.
"Isn't Zhizi grandma's name?" Longzaki Rena didn't understand why grandpa called grandma's name at this time.
"Yeah, Zhizi chose to enter Mizutomaki just to be by her husband's side, and wanted to be by his side." Because Yu refused to let go no matter what, Yu could only maintain the posture of holding Yu , Looking back at Mr. Ryuzaki, he said.
As for Mr. Ryuzaki, who couldn't hear the voice of lobbying, he could only rely on An Ran and the others to convey him, knowing that his wife had actually stayed by his side for a long time.
"Why am I not surprised?" Mr. Longzaki showed a bitter smile in front of An Ran and the others for the first time, "Apart from her, who else would sneak into my house to clean the house, and even put every How about putting everything in the place I am most used to?"
"She didn't have time to say goodbye to you, but she was smiling when she disappeared." You still hoped that Anran and the others could convey for him what the "roommate" who had been with him wanted to tell her husband The words, "She said, let you take good care of that adopted child, that is a good child who has suffered."
"I owe that grandma a thank you." Up until now, Natsume had just learned that the grandma in his memory was actually the dead wife of Mr. Ryuzaki, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
When everyone in the ward fell silent, Yu found that the body belonging to You that he was holding was becoming more and more transparent, as if it would disappear before his eyes in the next second.So Yu quickly shouted: "You, no matter where you go, take me with you!"
"Impossible." Yu looked at Yu in front of him, his blue eyes seemed to be filled with sadness, "Where I am going, Yu can't go."
"I said..." An Ran felt that if she didn't interrupt the two confused monsters in front of her, it might be too late, "Don't you guys still think that guy with black feathers is still a living monster?"
"..." Both Yu and You seemed to be stunned by An Ran's words.
"After being locked in the picture scroll for so long, You's power has almost completely disappeared, so you can't feel it, right? Yu's power at this moment is more like a weak ghost than a monster." An Ran didn't forget that Yu started Controlling Ryuzaki Rena's body, when he wanted to attack Natsume Takashi, he was only blocked by a small smoke rod, and he no longer had the strength to move forward.
What's more, that guy has been possessing Ryuzaki Rena's body for so long without a sound, but he doesn't occupy Ryuzaki Rena's body, it's almost like a back spirit.
"I have already..." Feather, who had been a little forgetful from the beginning, remembered, "Yeah! I was in a hurry to go back to the park that day, and when I wanted to find you, I was already..."
Asuka and Yuyu are both weak monsters in this world, they have no ability to protect themselves, but they admire each other uncontrollably.
One always hides in a tree, secretly watching the figure that occasionally jumps out of the water.
And the other always hides under the water, looking up from below the water's surface to the sky that he cannot reach.Occasionally jumping up from the water, I also hope that the winged figure can fly over and caress his hair by the way.
"But after all, being able to hug like this is already the most beautiful thing in the world." Yu and You looked at each other, saw the smiles in each other's eyes, and said in unison.
When the figures of the two monsters became more and more transparent in the ward, until they turned into stars in the sun, they flew out of the window with a gust of wind and went to the distance.
This time, they are no longer unable to touch each other, but intertwined with each other, there is me in you, and you in me.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen. It's like a dream." After listening to An Ran and Natsume Takashi's narration, Ryuzaki Rena was really surprised, and her head seemed to be much clearer. Reminds me of something I thought I had forgotten.
When Rena Ryuzaki looked at Natsume Takashi again, she remembered the scene in her memory of the child being bullied by his peers, and the scene of being chased by invisible things, and finally couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that , That little guy who was bullied back then turned into a handsome guy."
"Natsume..." Ryuzaki Rena looked at Natsume Takashi, then at Mr. Ryuzaki, "If the adopted family is not good, why not continue with grandpa..."
Before Ryuzaki Rena finished speaking, Natsume Takashi's phone rang in his pocket.
"Aunt Tako?" After Natsume answered the phone, he heard a concerned voice on the other end of the phone, and quickly responded, "Well, I haven't forgotten anything like the suitcase, don't worry, I will definitely protect the phone and wallet carefully of."
"Yes, Mr. Cat obediently disguised himself as a puppet and got into the car."
"Aunt Toko, do you want me to bring back some souvenirs? No? What, Aunt Toko, you also stuffed some snacks and specialties, and sent them to Grandpa Ryuzaki? Okay, I understand."
Ryuzaki Rena did not continue talking, after all, the smile on Natsume Takashi's face was definitely not fake, and the happiness in that smile even seemed a little inexplicably envious to her.
"Natsume!" At this moment, the door of the ward opened again, and Madara rushed in, followed by Shuten-douji who walked in slowly.After seeing Shuten-douji, An Ran gave him an OK gesture, telling him that the matter that made him suspicious had been resolved.
And when Madara jumped onto the hospital bed unceremoniously and rushed towards Natsume Takashi, he was still yelling: "How long do you want me to wait outside? And what happened to that weak breath just now?" ?”
Natsume, who was being served by Madara with her cat's paw, could only show a begging expression in embarrassment.But after a while, he smiled and hugged Madara, and introduced to Mr. Ryuzaki who was sitting on the hospital bed: "This is Mr. Kitty, a trustworthy teacher." Because Mr. Ryuzaki already knows that his eyes can see Youkai, so Natsume Takashi has no intention of concealing Madara's identity at all.
"Oh?" Looking at the cat like a white steamed bun in front of him, Mr. Ryuzaki was very interested, and sat up a little more before he said to Natsume Takashi, "Talk to me about the family that adopted you, and this The fat cat thing. Although I don’t like the world that I can’t see very much, but if you want to find someone to talk to, sit here and chat with the old man.”
"Thank you, Grandpa Ryuzaki!"
Seeing the sunny smile on Natsume Takashi's face, even the serious Mr. Long couldn't help curling his mouth.
Even if this child is not by his side, he has grown into a very good child...
In order to leave the ward to Natsume Takashi and Ryuzaki's grandparents, An Ran just dragged Shuten Doji out of the ward.Thinking that the sun was shining outside, they simply held hands and walked to the small garden downstairs of the inpatient department.
Feeling the warmth of the sun shining on their bodies, An Ran and Shuten-douji just found an empty rest chair and sat down.Then, An Ran let go of her strength, and just let herself lean on Shuten-douji's shoulder, half-closed her eyes, feeling a little drowsy under the sun.
"What kind of person is that old man?"
"Hmm...a very warm person..."
