Fuyuki Canteen

The Wandering Gods and the Firefly Forest and the Book of Friends.

Yato remained uncharacteristically silent.

He didn't pick up the coins, and just stared at the symbol of marriage in Natsume's palm silently.

Natsume didn't rush to make a sound either.

The evening wind blew between them, stirring the god's dark purple hair and the hem of his sleeves amidst the rustling of leaves, and also blowing the hem of the boy's white shirt and the straw-colored hair tips.

"...Why?" Yato finally said.

He asked in a low voice, with a hoarse voice at the end, resisting and disgusting, "Why do you still approach me after seeing what I'm doing?"

Natsume looked at him quietly.

There was a slight fear and cold disgust in those familiar ice-coloured pupils.

That was not aimed at Natsume's feelings, but at Yato himself.

After Yato was keenly aware that Natsume knew the truth, it wasn't that he disappeared unilaterally without saying a word.

But once Natsume is in danger and there is no cat teacher around him to help him, he will still show up, cut off all unclean things with his blade, and save Natsume from the fire and water.

Gods are born from wishes.

They cannot choose their origins, and in a sense, they are just tools for the wishers to realize their wishes.

Natsume knew why Yato felt gloomily every time he returned from an unknown place wearing a kimono.I also know that the indifference and disgust in his expression are aimed at Yato himself, as well as the matter of killing people and being used as a knife for killing people.Natsume understands that emotion, and believes that if given a choice, Yato would not respond to that wish.

After all, in essence, he is such a gentle god.

This kind of Yato expressed resistance to Natsume's continued approach.

Because even he himself cannot forgive his sins.

"Yato, you have to believe in yourself." Natsume frowned gently, "You have to ask why, I am your believer."

"What kind of believer! A murderous god, what qualifications do you have to—"

"No, you are a god who brings me happiness, not a god of misfortune."

The straw-haired boy said seriously.

Natsume opened Yato's clenched fist, and solemnly put the five-yuan coin, which had already been stained with his body temperature, into the palm of the god who was too stiff to speak.

He looked up at Yato's slightly trembling icy blue pupils, and smiled slowly:

"I believe that Yato will be able to realize his wish. Because you are a god who has brought happiness to many people."

Yato didn't really understand.

Does murder count as happiness?Does brushing the toilet and cleaning the bathroom and tearing up small advertisements also bring happiness to people?

These trivial things are like five yuan coins treasured in a wine bottle, slowly accumulating, and then quickly disappearing.

God has no concept of time.

Yato pondered these questions during his long years of wandering, but soon discovered that, no matter what, he would not be in human memory.

No matter how desperately he completes trivial commissions and takes trivial tasks seriously, it is not as effective as killing someone after he was summoned by his father.

Can't stay.

Gods are quickly forgotten in the memory of humans who have assisted them.

The sins and fears left behind by death are not as effective as frequent shallow but happy fates.

This is the fact, and it is also the truth in this world.

But Yato still wanted to give it a try.

A tiny wish born of Sakura's enlightenment, I want to work hard for it until the moment before it disappears.

He wandered alone in the world, artifacts appeared and left, and no one was by Yato's side.

Until, he accidentally met Yin in the deep mountains, and rescued Natsume in a certain encounter.

The boy named Natsume Takashi was born with the aptitude to know the other side and the present world.

For him, Yato was not easily forgotten.

Moreover, because of his own physique and the account of friends with the name of a monster passed down by his ancestors, Yato has more opportunities to become friends with him.

But he is also deliberately avoiding the boy named Natsume, not only because he has a big monster with extraordinary strength and a nose so sharp that he can smell the blood on his body.

This young man with powerful spiritual power has a heart softer than anyone else.

Yato was very afraid that one day he would bring misfortune to him, hurt him, and betray him, so he could only escape in advance.

Such depression, he couldn't help but tell Yin who was blessed by the mountain god once.

The silver-haired boy is not a god, not a monster, and strictly speaking, not a human being.But Yato understands in getting along that he is a guy with a gentle and firm heart. From this point of view, he is very similar to Natsume.

Yin pursed his lips and smiled, suggesting that he face his inner thoughts honestly.

Perhaps you should seek the opinion of that friend, the indifferent attitude may bring unnecessary distress to him.

Yato knew in his heart that Yin's suggestion was correct, but his own behavior was very awkward, always avoiding everything, and did not dare to face Natsume's thoughts directly as Yin suggested.

Especially after realizing that Natsume found that his hands were bloody, Yato's evasive attitude became even worse. Although he would go to help every time he received a prayer, he would leave quickly afterwards, without even thinking about saying a word, and would Deliberately displaying a shameful and indifferent attitude, all this can be called running away.During that time, Yato could often hear the old fox pretending to be a beckoning cat jumping behind his back and scolding him for his ignorance, but Natsume didn't care, just comforted the old monster lying on his shoulder, saying, "Okay, cat Sensei, always give Yato some time to think alone."

Thinking about it until now.

Natsume handed him the five-yen coin with great care, and the slight body temperature on it almost scalded his empty palm.

why?

Why do you still approach me after knowing all this?

Obviously, after seeing the essence of everything clearly, even I myself can't accept such a dirty self——

But, he said, I have brought him blessings.

That was a sentence that only appeared in Yato's fantasy, but Natsume said it without hesitation.

That is the best reward for the gods who have wandered for thousands of years.

Yato stared blankly at the boy with light brown shattered hair, under the wind-blown forehead, his dark brown pupils were still soft as usual.

"Please stay by my side all the time." The boy named Natsume Takashi stared at him, smiled and gave a precious promise, "I will be your most loyal believer."

What kind of wish is this.Really greedy.

Yato struggled to endure the reddened eye sockets and the sourness welling up inside his nose, and showed a bright smile that was somewhat embarrassing.

He bent his ice-blue eyes, threw the five-yen coin into the air, held it with his hand, and announced with a handsome smile:

"You are a predestined person. I, Ye Fighting God, have indeed heard your wish!"

"Then let's go to dinner together?"

Seeing him accept the coin, Natsume felt relieved and asked again with a smile.

"Go! Go! Go!"

In response, it was Yato's voice that answered without hesitation.

What reassured Natsume was that even though he was still wearing that kimono along the way, Yato had recovered a little.

The evidence is that he was crazily petting cats and teasing dogs on the road, and the ponytail tied up behind his head flickered, but when Natsume saw him, he would instantly become well-behaved, and then smirked at him.

Natsume was a little helpless, and Madara, who was lying on his shoulder, bluntly said that this kid's state was a bit disgusting, and he was determined not to let Yato touch him.

Yato didn't care, just stared at the five-yen coin and rubbed his fingers with a blushing face, thinking about something very happy, even to the point where he was about to hum a song unconsciously.

In this state, they walked to the door of the restaurant called "Homestay".

"This is here." Natsume pressed the send button of the text message to Aunt Toko, "I won't come back for dinner with friends tonight", closed the phone cover, and turned to introduce to Yato who was looking up at the signboard, "Here But it’s a store that Mr. Cat really likes, and the owner and workers are also very nice, I think if it’s Yato, he’ll definitely like it too.”

"Hey~"

Yato let out an exclamation of unknown meaning.

He stared at the shop's signboard thoughtfully for a few seconds, then greeted Natsume as if nothing had happened, and the two went in together.

This is the cause and effect of two people sitting in the restaurant at dusk.

Knowing that Yato likes to eat snacks, Natsume specially ordered a lot of desserts and snacks, not only the Japanese dessert set covering various Japanese desserts such as Sui Daifuku, grass mochi, meatballs, Kuri Daifuku, Strawberry Daifuku, but also grilled marshmallow skewers Chocolate ice cream, octopus balls, red bean rice cakes and a variety of snacks, which can be called a combination of Chinese and Western, all-inclusive, and the price is not very expensive. Natsume’s part-time job and the pocket money given by uncles and aunts are completely affordable .This is still thanks to the very conscientious boss who set the price.

Yato, who was opposite him, ate happily, and quickly emptied more than half of the food on the table.

Natsume finished eating the teriyaki eel set meal in front of him, and watched him while drinking fruit tea. He didn't feel hungry at first, but his appetite was aroused by Yato's eating, so he poked a takoyaki with a bamboo stick and put it in his mouth Chewing.

The shell is soft and has a light broth flavor, exuding the saltiness of bonito flower and the fragrance of eggs, the sauce is rich in flavor, the shredded cabbage inside still retains the unique freshness of vegetables, and the crispy fried bread The feeling of chewing the bran together with the hot and elastic octopus feet between the lips and teeth is even more addictive.

The craftsmanship of the boss is really amazing.

Even street food such as takoyaki can be made so delicious, the boss's cooking skills are too good.

That is different from the warm heart in Auntie Tazi's cooking. The boss's cooking is full of tenderness and emotion towards food.

This is why Natsume likes this store so much.

When I packed a copy for Yin to take with me last time, Yin also affirmed this.

Speaking of silver though...

Natsume's heart was covered with a faint haze.
