Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

In the room, the chubby lucky cat took a big bite of the watermelon in its hand, made a squawking sound, and narrowed its cat's eyes in satisfaction.

"It seems to be very leisurely recently."

"No, not at all."

Without looking at Madara who was leisurely eating melons behind him, Natsume still maintained his movements, writing one word after another on the notebook with the pen tip.

"The only one who is free is you, Mr. Cat, but I go to school every day."

And the latest incident was resolved by himself, Mr. Cat, who either eats or sleeps every day and lives like a pig, don't you have a conscience?

"After all, I'm not a brat like you who needs to go to school."

Ban wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth, feeling confident.

"Speaking of the account of friends..."

Just halfway through speaking, there was a knocking sound on the window.

"Boom boom boom——"

Immediately afterwards, a small, even milky voice shouted outside.

"Reiko's grandson, open the door!"

Natsume Takashi: "..."

spot:"……"

Mr. Cat, your mouth must have been opened...

Said these words clearly in his eyes, Takashi Natsume still stood up, ready to open the window.

Although the words sound a little fierce, but I know that knocking on the door is not too bad, and there is a sober teacher cat, so there is no problem with safety.

Taking a deep breath, Natsume Takashi had just opened the window when a white object rolled in along the half-opened window, and even rolled several times on the ground, making a sound of panic.

"Wow - Reiko's grandson, you are too sudden!"

The white creature that finally stopped rolling stood up and floated in mid-air.

The whole body is visible to the naked eye and is made of ceramics. The black beaded eyes and the painted smiling face make it easy to know that this is a ceramic sunny doll.

"Yes, it's my fault."

Natsume Takashi, who has fought countless encounters with monsters, handled the topic change skillfully.

"Then, are you here to ask for your name?"

"Of course it is."

Sunshine Baby raised her head as a matter of course, but in the next second, there was a twist in her voice.

"Of course, there are other things. I heard that you helped many monsters solve their distress, so I came here."

Natsume Takashi: "..."

No, I'm not, I don't!I'm just an ordinary person who wants to pay back the name on my friend's account, and I don't work part-time to solve the troubles of monsters!

"Pfft—Natsume, take a look, let me just tell you?"

Madara beside him laughed.

"Usually you still don't believe that you are a bad person, but look, now that your reputation has spread, there are monsters coming to your door."

After laughing, Madara looked at Sunny Doll with a warning in his eyes.

"Hey, I said, this is not a place for you to solve things. It's good to return your name, don't go too far."

"What the hell? I can also give you a reward. You are that lazy domestic pig they say? I heard that you will cause trouble for Lingzi's grandson."

Cat teacher:? ? ?

"What? Delicious and lazy? Domestic pig???"

Madara exploded immediately, hitting his body with bared teeth and claws.

"If I didn't protect Natsume, this brat would have been eaten by other monsters long ago!"

"Hey—if that's the case, you will be called a pig by other monsters?"

The sunny baby floated to Natsume Takashi's side with disdain, and touched his face with the same ceramic arm comfortingly.

"It's really hard work, Lingzi's grandson, if I didn't have a child I like, I would definitely squeeze out that pig."

"My name is Takashi Natsume, just call me Natsume."

Natsume Takashi, who was in the center of the storm, skillfully held down the cat teacher who was clamoring to eat the sunny baby.

"There is also Teacher Cat, who has helped me a lot. Usually... well, it is still reliable in times of crisis."

spot:? ? ?

"I've always been reliable!"

"Anyway, that's it."

Natsume Takashi ignored Madara's clamor and looked at Sunshine Doll.

"Do you have anything? Let me tell you first. As you can see, I am just an ordinary human being. If it is a big thing, I may not be of much help."

"It's okay, I'm looking for you because of Reiko's... well, Natsume, you are human."

After successfully changing the title to Natsume, Sunshine Doll began to explain.

"It's the home of a human child where I live now. Her recent state is particularly wrong."

"She is a very gentle child, and nothing can trouble her at ordinary times, she is very outstanding."

As she spoke, Qingtian Doll couldn't help blowing in an old mother's tone of "my cub is the best".

"Study is also good. I see how she goes to school, but she gets full marks in every exam. Although she is the only one living alone, she has a great life."

Sunshine Doll's voice became obviously flattered.

"Although she can't see us monsters, many other little monsters nearby like her very much. She is indeed my favorite child."

Sunny Doll is extremely proud.

"Then I drove all the other monsters away."

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Natsume Takashi asked to draw out the point from the flattery.

"So the point is that she's not in the right state recently, right?"

"Ah, yes. Something very, very wrong."

Using two specials in a row to express the seriousness of the matter, the sunny doll became serious.

"In the last half month, she has obviously felt... well, anxious, as if worried about what will happen, and she is a little absent-minded when doing things normally. The most important thing is-"

On a sunny day, the doll fell on the desk, and the porcelain collided with the desk, making a slight sound.

"I actually saw her writing a suicide note!"

Natsume Takashi:! ! !

"A suicide note?"

Something must be clearly wrong!Who would write a suicide note for normal people?

"She's ill?"

"No! I'm in good health!"

The sunny baby spit out a long series of words angrily.

"Health is fine, and he gets along well with neighbors. It's better to say that she is loved by everyone. Although she is the only one living by herself, she doesn't have to worry about the money. Her relatives are not bad people, and she is not a human being who will be sad. .”

Having said that, Sunshine Doll became visibly depressed.

"Obviously I have been following her all the time, from childhood to adulthood, but I still can't find the reason."

"I understand."

Natsume Takashi nodded, took out the friend account from the drawer, and opened it.

"I am also very concerned about this kind of thing. I will return your name to you first, and then..."

He looked at the night outside and made a decision.

"Tomorrow happens to be a rest day, so I'll go find her with you."

If you can't see the monster, then this kind of thing can only be asked by people like him.

What's more, he was indeed a little worried, living alone, and even wrote something like a suicide note...

Early the next morning, Takashi Natsume bid farewell to his family, took the cat teacher and the sunny doll who guided him, and got on the bus to the next town.

On the bus, Qing, which is the name of Qingtian Doll, took advantage of the fact that other people couldn't hear her, so she chatted with Natsume about science.

"Her name is Miki Nozomi, she is very, very gentle, she has a flower shop, but the business is not so good, so I asked my friend to sit in the shop often, so that her flowers can bloom for a long time."

"Speaking of which, how did you little monster know that human being?"

Taking advantage of the lack of people and sitting in the last row, the cat teacher who was hidden in the bag by Natsume Takashi asked nonchalantly.

"It's a good thing people can't hear you, otherwise you'd be bored to death with your nagging."

"You're the one nagging!

The sunny baby glared.

"I'm giving Natsume a message so that he can ask you out smoothly! I hope everyone will be worried if she is not in the right state."

"The monster is worried about humans?"

Cursing his lips, Teacher Cat muttered softly, but his eyes disappeared after seeing Takashi Natsume.

It seems that I have no face to talk about this little monster...

No, I only followed Natsume for the account of friends!How could it be possible for a majestic monster to have a good impression of humans?

"It's not impossible to tell you about my encounter with Xi."

Sunshine Baby looked at Madara with satisfaction and fell silent, then spoke proudly and a little embarrassed.

"It's a hero saving the beauty."

"Oh, it looks like you were the one who was rescued."

Teacher Cat even clicked his tongue twice.

"As expected of a little monster, but weak."

"Try again, you pig!"

Sunny Doll slapped Teacher Cat on the top of the bag.

"I was seriously injured in a fight before and haven't recovered yet!"

"Okay, okay, you too, Mr. Cat, don't say a few words."

Helplessly in front of the peacemaker, Natsume Takashi changed the subject.

"So how did you know each other?"

"At that time, I was fighting with a monster extermination master. After I was seriously injured and left, I really had no strength, so I just fell down on the side of the road. Unexpectedly, it happened to be her door."

"This must be a fateful meeting! Xi took me back to the house when she saw me, and helped me clean up the dust=w="

Sunshine Doll's cheeks were flushed, she held her cheeks with both hands, and twisted her body, surrounded by small pink flowers.

"I've been staying at her house since then~"

"Oh."

Teacher Cat is expressionless.

"So you just became a moron."

Sunny Doll:"……"

What the hell is going on with your pig?

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Teacher Cat, do you dare not to hate?

"It's okay, just keep talking!"

Covering Madara's mouth with the same expressionless face, Natsume Takashi gave Qingtian Doll a gentle smile.

"Mr. Cat will never bother you."

Madara whose mouth was covered: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

"Then it's nothing. At that time, Xi was just such a tall human cub."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, the sunny baby flew up to a height of less than one meter, and then suddenly rose a lot higher.

"Now you are just a little shorter than Natsume."

Natsume Takashi hurriedly took the flying sunny doll back into his arms, and he was relieved when he saw that there were only two or three people around who didn't pay attention to his side.

"Slightly shorter than me..."

I am 167, so how can I say it is more than 1.6 meters?

"Ask, she...well, what is her age?"

"17."

Sunny Doll replied proudly.

"And it's almost my 18th birthday, but no matter how old I am, I'm still a child."

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Oh……

Silently putting the sunny baby back on the seat, Natsume Takashi took a deep breath and made preparations again.

He took that child one by one yesterday, and he thought it was a real child, so he was ready to coax the child.

It turned out to be a senior who was older than me! ! !

The author has something to say:

Natsume is very short, it is estimated that two or three chapters will end, you can talk about what extra episodes you want, I will watch and write, otherwise I may just finish the book after Natsume ends (cough)
