Be Dazai's mother

"And it's such a fat lucky cat!!" I shouted in shock.

It's cute though!

Given the amazing fact that cats can talk, even the cat's claim that I'm now using someone else's body seems less shocking.

"Who do you think is a fat beckoning cat?!" The beckoning cat jumped up angrily and roared.

The boy named Natsume reluctantly hugged the beckoning cat back, and said in a smiling voice: "Mr. Cat, you really need to lose weight. You see, I can hardly hold you anymore."

"What?! Natsume, you actually help other people to talk about me!" Lucky Cat looked even more angry, it jumped so high that Natsume's hands were like jumping on a trampoline in front of it.

Seeing the relationship between this person and the cat, coupled with the ugly and cute appearance of the lucky cat, I was startled by the cat who spoke suddenly, and I gradually calmed down.I covered my mouth in surprise and said, "There are talking cats in this world. Could this be a cat demon? It's amazing."

I heard that some utensils will turn into fusangshen after being kept for a hundred years. Could it be that the cat in front of me, called Mr. Cat, was transformed from a lucky cat?

Natsume, who was a little wary of me because of Mr. Kitty's words, looked at my expression carefully, and then said tentatively, "Sorry, I seem to have heard you say what you want to ask me just now?"

I thought about the business, quickly picked up the phone, pointed to the map on it and asked, "Sorry, I'm lost, I want to ask, do you know how to get to this place?"

"Just asking for directions?" Natsume was stunned for a moment, then recovered after seeing my blank expression, and took the mobile phone I handed over: "Let me see."

Natsume looked at it and said, "You are going in the wrong direction, you should go in the opposite direction."

No wonder I couldn't find it after walking for a long time. Did I go in the wrong direction?

I thought about it with a headache, then smiled embarrassedly, and said to Natsume, "Thank you."

Natsume said gently: "It's nothing. Remember to look around when you walk back. When you see a sign on the side of the road, just walk in the direction indicated by the sign."

Seeing how we were chatting, Mr. Cat hurried out to stop Natsume. He looked at Natsume with dissatisfaction and said, "Natsume, you idiot, didn't I just tell you not to approach this woman?"

Natsume glanced at me hesitantly, and said to Mr. Cat in a low voice, "But I don't think she has any malicious intentions. She just wanted to come and ask for directions, Mr. Cat."

Teacher Mao said helplessly: "Of course you can't see anything. Although it's hard for people to notice, only a big monster like me can smell a little bit, but there's nothing wrong with it. There's something wrong with this guy. She has the breath of a resentful spirit, she must be the kind of resentful spirit who snatches other people's bodies as her own."

When Mr. Cat spoke like this, his voice became extremely calm and deep, and he couldn't see the appearance of jumping up angrily and shouting "Who do you think is a fat beckoning cat?!", which made people start Believe that he is indeed a big monster.

Seeing the vigilant look of Mr. Cat, I suddenly remembered Mr. Medicine Seller who helped Aji and me a long time ago, and before I came here, Aji once mentioned to me that Yahara specialized in exorcising demons. Family, I couldn't help guessing: "May I ask, are you that kind of professional?"

I gestured and said: "Exorcist, onmyoji, etc."

In this case, it can also explain why the cat can talk, probably Shikigami?But is Shikigami so fat and a lucky cat really okay?Cute is very cute, but when removing demons, is it difficult to subdue the other party through cat cat fist?

A picture appeared in my mind: the cat teacher gave a "meow" and swung the meat pad to hit the enemy's face, but because the meat pad was too soft, it failed to cause any lethality, and finally he had to switch back to using his paws .

"Pfft." I was amused by the picture I imagined.

Teacher Cat threw away my imagination angrily, and said, "What are you thinking?! I'm a big monster!"

Teacher Cat showed an extremely disgusted expression, while Natsume said, "Sorry, but we are not demon exorcisers or onmyojis."

He looked at the cat teacher in his arms with a soft expression, and said, "The cat teacher is not my shikigami either."

I blinked and asked, "Then are you friends?" A human teenager and his monster friend.

"That's not true." Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just a bad relationship."

Natsume smiled and said nothing.

Looking at them, I couldn't help but smile.

It's amazing, I have only been together for less than half an hour, but I have a strange feeling of trust and affection for Natsume.Or that he is born with an affinity that makes people feel good?

Since he thinks that I am not malicious anymore, then I should trust my intuition.

So I sighed and said, "You may think I'm lying, but I didn't snatch this body maliciously."

I didn't say I didn't mean it.After all, no matter what, it is a fact that I used Mei's body and survived. It would be too arrogant to emphasize that I didn't do it on purpose at this time.

After I finished speaking, I was ready to go back.After all, we are just strangers, and it would be superficial to say anything after staying here.

But how to go back is also a problem. I looked at the road I had come all the way in distress, and it was so long that I felt a little desperate in my heart.

I have indeed wandered for a long time, but this does not mean that I can still have good physical strength after living a stable life for several years, let alone that I can walk a long way back and forth with luggage.

It seems that because I noticed my headache expression, Natsume hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, let me go there with you? I'll help you with the luggage."

"Can you?" I asked in surprise.

I wouldn't want to bother anyone if I could, but my strength tells me it won't last.

"Natsume." Teacher Cat shouted in disapproval.He didn't seem to want Natsume to have much contact with me.

"It's nothing, Mr. Cat." Natsume said, "It's just helping with luggage, and you're here, Mr. Cat."

"Really." Teacher Cat sighed, and said, "You guys are really annoying."

That's what he said, but the cat teacher huddled in Natsume's arms obediently, and said, "Natsume, remember to buy steamed buns to compensate me when you go back."

Natsume said helplessly, "Okay."

Watching them getting along, I couldn't help laughing out loud, and when Natsume looked over embarrassedly, I took the initiative to introduce myself: "Thank you for helping me, Natsume-kun, I'm Dazai Sachiko, just call me Miss Sachiko."

"I'll be offended if you call me Aunt Sachiko," I joked.

Natsume-kun said, "I am Takashi Natsume."

The two of us walked on the road with a cat, chatting while walking, of course, the main chatter was me and Natsume-kun, the cat teacher nestled in Natsume-kun's arms and didn't talk much.The good news is that Mr. Cat is not as wary of me as before, and the reason why he is so wary of me seems to be that the vengeful spirits that can snatch people's bodies are quite troublesome.If Natsume-kun is accidentally robbed of his body by a resentful spirit with deep grievances, there is no other way except for Natsume-kun driving him out of his body with his own will.

Generally speaking, even resentful spirits can't snatch other people's bodies. After all, it's not your own body. It's fine for a short time, but it's impossible to use it for a long time.But Teacher Cat has heard that some people with special physiques can easily snatch other people's bodies and use them for a long time after they die and become wraiths.

Of course, neither of these are me.Mei has a special physique, and I was able to have a second life only by being lucky enough to float by Mei's side with unprecedented luck.And Mei's special physique does not mean that anyone can be reborn on her body, but I am too lucky, I am too similar to Mei, and I yearn for Mei's deep obsession with who can protect my child - various reasons Only then can I have a second life.

Of course, these words are not suitable for Natsume-kun who just met.Natsume-kun didn't ask too much, just chatted with me casually.

I don't know how long I walked, but I was relieved when I saw the hotel that Azhi had booked for me in advance.To be honest, I was so tired that I just wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep.

"Thank you very much, Natsume-kun." I wiped the sweat off my brow and said, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'm still lost."

"It's just a small matter." Natsume-kun said with a smile.After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said, "If you need help, you can come to me again."

I nodded, thinking that Natsume-kun was just saying polite words casually and didn't take this matter to heart.

···

After I registered the news, checked into the hotel and went to eat and take a shower, it was already nine o'clock, and I was so tired that I planned to pack up my things and go to bed.

At this time, Azhi suddenly called me.

I was puzzled, because when I checked into the hotel just now, I had already sent a message to Azhi saying that I had arrived, telling him not to worry, but I didn't expect him to call me suddenly now.

Because I don't like using mobile phones very much, Azhi is not a nagging personality, and we can often see each other, Azhi seldom calls me.The only few times I was worried and called him to tell him to pay attention to his health.I was a little surprised to receive a sudden call from Azhi this time.

I answered Azhi's phone: "Hello? Azhi?"

"It's me." Azhi said, "Are you going to sleep, Xingzi."

I nodded, realizing that Azhi over there couldn't see my nod, and said, "Yeah, I'm so tired today, I want to go to bed early."

"Then will I bother you?" Azhi asked.

"Since you've all called, it means you know that whenever you come to see me, you won't bother me, right?" I said amusedly.

"I do know." Azhi said proudly, "So I called."

"So?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Azhi asked back.

I blinked, suddenly realized something, and said amusedly: "You are so old, do you still want to come here and act like a baby with your mother?"

Azhi said dissatisfiedly: "You just said last time that I am always a child in your eyes."

"What do you mean if you don't look like a child? But other children hope to become an adult quickly in the eyes of their parents. You're fine, but act like a baby with your mother instead." I covered my mouth and laughed, teasing him.

"They are them, and I am me." Azhi said confidently.

I couldn't help but keep laughing.

But it's not incomprehensible that Azhi would suddenly act strangely.Although Azhi has been independent for a long time and has been abroad for several months many times because of his work in the port mafia, I will stay at home and wait for Azhi to come back no matter what.In my impression, this seems to be the first time that I left Azhi on my own initiative.Of course, after Aji finished his work, he would also come to Yayuan, but the mood between the two of us is still a bit complicated.

I smiled and couldn't help feeling a kind of loneliness.

Although the relationship between parents and children is gradually drifting away, this kind of thing really makes people feel a little sad.Especially when I am determined to achieve happiness, this must also mean that other people or things must be added to my life besides Aji.

The relationship between people is a series of distances, and the distance between parents and children is extremely special. When they are close, they are very close, and when they are far, they are very far.

This is also something that can’t be helped, Azhi is destined to grow up, he will be independent sooner or later from a child to an adult.And I can't just run around Aji forever.One day we too will grow old and die, and one of us will be left behind.

"Do you know what was on my mind when I watched you leave this afternoon?" Azhi asked suddenly.

When I went out this afternoon, Azhi sent me away.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

Azhi on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then he said in a raving voice: "Did Xingzi always look at this back when he sent me away?"

I closed my eyes, my heart was filled with gentle and warm emotions, and I said softly: "Yes, all the time..."

When Tsushima watched Master Shuji turn and leave, when Aji was snatched by those two people and sent to the port mafia, when Aji said "I'm going out" and walked out of the house...

I stood there countless times and watched his leaving back. At these times, the feelings in my heart were different, and the only thing that remained the same was the yearning to see him again.

"How should I put it, I always feel that I don't want Xingzi to look at my back, but this is something I can't help, after all, people can't be bound together all the time." Azhi said: "Thinking about it this way. .. just feel a little sad."

I sighed, strangely not feeling too sad.Probably because I always remember the agreement we had.

"Do you still remember what I once said to you?" I looked down at my little finger, remembering the day when we hooked up, and I said softly: "No matter how long we have been separated, no matter how far apart, even if we are separated in the world. The two ends of the heart are also good, the hearts of mother and Aji are also connected together."

"..."

Azhi over there was silent for a long time, and when I thought he forgot to hang up the phone, he said softly: "Well, I know, Mom."

It was really very, very light, even softer than cotton, but even so, I still heard Azhi's inner voice well.

Holding the phone, I looked at the night sky outside the window and the bright moon above, and couldn't help showing a soft expression.At this moment, I felt as if my whole body was soaked in the spring water called "happiness".

After finishing speaking, perhaps because of inner timidity, Azhi breathed unsteadily and said: "It's getting late, Sachiko, didn't you say you're tired? Go to sleep quickly, good night."

I didn't poke him, just smiled and said, "Good night."

Having said that, I couldn't help nagging him again: "Don't go to bed too late, the work of the mafia is indeed very busy, but the body is the most important thing. I hope you can have a good dream tonight. "

"Do you have a dream that you won't be bitten by a dog if you eat dog food?" Azhi laughed.

"Haven't you tried eating dog food in front of a dog?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

"What?!" Azhi said in shock: "I should have never done this in front of you."

Didn't he refute that he didn't do such a thing when he reacted immediately?

I said dumbfoundedly: "This is what Mr. Ango told me."

Azhi gritted his teeth, and said in a malicious voice: "That guy Anwu actually took advantage of my inattention to inform me, just wait and see."

"Don't bully Ango-san too much?" I said, who sold my teammates quickly.

"Okay~" Aji said lazily, suddenly realized something and said in shock: "No! When did the relationship between you and Ango become so good, Sachiko? Could it be that you both took advantage of my absence—"

"What are you thinking?" I said helplessly, "I really want to pry your head open to see what you are thinking all day long?"

What about playing Lalang match here?

"Okay, okay, I'm going to bed, and you also remember not to go to bed too late, and you are not allowed to play game consoles before going to bed, it is not good for your eyes." I said in a coaxing tone.

Azhi said perfunctorily: "I know, I know." Then he hung up the phone.

And I fell asleep on the bed after packing up my things.

A night without dreams.
