Back at the shrine, seeing that Natsume was still asleep, Dazai couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Noticing his expression, Levi said softly: "Guizhi woke up once in the middle, I just cooked some white porridge, and he ate a bowl before falling asleep."

Dazai leaned over to look, the boy's cheeks were a little more rosy, not as pale as before.

"How is he? Is he feeling better?"

"He said he felt a little more energetic and would be fine with a little more sleep. I also think he looks less tired."

Seeing that the room was obviously wiped, and the weeds and moss outside were also obviously cleaned up when they came in before, presumably Levi and the others tidied it up while they were taking care of Natsume.Dazai smiled and stroked the short hair of the other party: "Thank you, Levi."

"Where are Ain and Allen?"

"They saw that the firewood was about to run out. After cleaning the courtyard, they went to the back mountain and probably came back soon."

"Okay, I see. You go and rest for a while, I will leave this place to me."

Levi didn't hold back.He nodded, and was stopped just as he was about to lie down.

"Levi, wait a minute." Dazai looked at Xie, "Mr. Xie, can you take the thing out?"

"Now?" Scorpion frowned slightly.

Oh, it seems that Xie has become a little bit of a clean freak unconsciously...

Dazai couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, Li Wei and the others have already cleaned up the room."

Hearing what he said, Xie took out the scroll, and when the smoke cleared, the pile of newly purchased items appeared in the room.

After laying the bedding, he patted it, then looked at Levi with a smile: "It's ok, please rest now."

"Thank you."

The boy said softly, and lay down on it.After a while, I heard the sound of light breathing, and it seemed that I was indeed exhausted.

Dazai made another quilt, gently picked up Natsume, and placed him on the soft quilt.

After finishing all this, he began to organize the pile of things in front of him.

Put the table against the wall, and place books, tissues, snacks, and children's water glasses on it in order, and then put Natsume's schoolbag against the table legs.

He pulled out a bundle of rope from the house, presumably it was originally used as shimenawa.Dazai carried the quilts to be tied to the tree outside to dry, and then saw Xie holding his own tools and seriously repairing the damaged parts on the sliding door.Looking again, I don't know when the stickers on the closet have been mended.

And after all these repairs, the house finally looked a little more presentable.

Hmm... The children are getting cuter and cuter, so I really have to hurry up on making money.

Dazai thought happily while tying the rope.

While he was drying the quilt, Ain and the others also came back.They wanted to help, but Dazai refused with a smile. Under his urging, the two had no choice but to go to rest obediently.

In the evening, Natsume finally fully recovered.

"Takashi-kun, you must not have physical contact with monsters in the future, unless you know how to avoid being distracted by the monster. Because, you may lose your life because of it." Dazai said with a rare serious expression.

Affected by the serious atmosphere, Natsume couldn't help but sit upright, and replied solemnly: "I know. I will try my best. After all, I still can't distinguish some monsters from humans..."

"Protect yourself well, Kishi-kun." After finishing speaking, Dazai couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if someone could teach you the relevant knowledge..."

"Master God, please forgive me for not coming to worship until now."

Suddenly, a voice suddenly appeared in Dazai's mind.It was the voice of an old woman.

He turned his head to the side and straightened up slightly. Through the gap in the sliding door, he saw an old woman with gray hair standing outside the worship hall.

The old man closed his eyes and put his palms together, facing this side quite reverently.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Natsume couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"No, nothing." Dazai smiled and shook his head.

It seemed that only he could hear that voice.

Is it because my surname happens to have the same name as this shrine?

Or, is this also the handwriting of that mysterious man?Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly.

The voice continued.Obviously his mouth didn't move at all.

"I came here this time because the tree in my yard was sick. Please forgive me for troubling you for such a trivial matter. It's just... that tree is very important to me because it was planted by my husband before his death. down."

"Every year it will be full of flowers, looking at it is like seeing my husband. This year, for some reason, there is no sign of blooming at all until now. I have seen many doctors to see, but I have not been able to find out. The reason is that I have to come here to bother you, please forgive me for my presumptuousness."

After a pause, the old woman said cautiously as if she was worried that she would wake up the sleeping person: "If possible, can you please bless this tree to be healthy and healthy? I really hope that it can accompany me instead of my husband. Until the last moment of my life. Really..."

"Thank you for being willing to listen to my old lady's ramblings for so long." She bowed deeply, and then slowly left here with staggering steps.

"Ah, it's that old grandma!" Natsume came over at some point, "She's a very nice person, she often gives me snacks secretly."

oh?That seemed a fine old man indeed.

After all, there are not many people in this small town who would show kindness to Kishi-kun.

"That's because Kishi-kun is very likable." Dazai couldn't help rubbing the little head in front of him.

"But what is she doing here? It's deserted."

"Indeed, maybe it's because of inconvenient legs and feet that I can't go to a shrine that is more effective."

Dazai rested his chin and thought for a while, then looked at Natsume: "It's almost time for dinner, but Levi and the others are still resting, why don't we go to the convenience store to buy something first?"

"They all did it to take care of me..."

"Don't think about it, they all did this because they like Kishi-kun. So from today onwards, you must protect yourself." Dazai interrupted the other party with a smile, "Let's go~"

"Well, okay." Natsume responded quickly.

After walking through the long path paved with stone slabs, Dazai and the others came to the town.Natsume obviously paused when he walked near a certain wall.

It seems that there are monsters around here.

The children nearby might know Natsume, but because they were concerned about themselves, they murmured in low voices and looked towards this side with smiles.Noticing this, Natsume lowered her head even more.

Dazai raised his eyes and looked around, then looked at Natsume with a slight smile: "Ah, why did Kishi-kun stop? Is it because he was not held by the adults, so he was blocked?"

"No, I..."

"Oh, oh, tell me if you want to be held hands, because of such a trivial matter, you will be awkward, Kishi-kun is really a child~"

As he spoke, he took Natsume's hand naturally, intending to avoid the front.It's closer though to go straight.

The moment he turned around, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because, he saw clearly that there was a creature that obviously did not belong to humans squatting on the wall.That thing was still muttering something in its mouth, and it looked quite weird.
