[Natsume] When the sun shines

"Hey, is it really okay for you to be sneaky like this..."

"To shut up."

"..."

Holding the bento box, I half-bent, sneaked out half of my head, and looked inside the door.

"Squeak..."

The door opened.

The boy pulled the doorknob and looked at me, "Xiao Mu?"

The fat cat on its shoulder squinted its wretched little eyes and looked at me, "Oh, it's you."

Feed this disdainful tone.

"What? The demon power is gone?"

it mocks.

"Teacher Cat." Natsume scolded lightly, then scratched his head, "Long time no see, are you feeling better?"

"Good day...I feel so much better with Natsume persimmon cake!"

I handed over the bento box, feeling my old face a little hot, "Well, there is one more thing I want to ask..."

No matter what, no matter what, we must...success!

"kindness?"

"Can you accompany me to a city to see?"

I mustered up my courage and looked up at him, the weather was getting colder and colder, he was also wearing a slightly thicker sweater, and a long black windbreaker on the outside, which seemed to be the reason for going out, and he also brought a satchel .

I want to go to the city I left and have a look.

I am grateful to all the monsters who helped me back then, so I want...to do something for them.

It's just that I want someone to accompany me to do this thing.

Natsume can see monsters, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

I said this to myself in my heart, trying to make my motives pure and kind.Although in fact the original motive was...

"Just tell me what you like, it's so complicated, you can send it with a letter." Xiao Hei was very disdainful of what I did.

My answer is simple -

"How can you, a little black snake covered in black, understand girlish feelings?"

Xiao Hei was furious, "I am a dragon!!!"

You should... agree, right?

……Maybe?

I was very anxious, but tried my best to pretend that I didn't care, "Well, if you don't have time..."

Now is the most splendid moment of dawn, the young man's warm yellow hair is dyed with the beauty of morning glow, his light-colored eyes reflected my nervous cheeks, after a while, he bent his eyes, "Why is Xiao Mu so nervous? "

"Ah, no, no!"

I was startled, and took a step back, "I, I just thought, I would be a little scared if I went on the road alone..."

——And, you promised me that you would stay with me.

"Then I will accompany you."

His crooked eyes are bright and beautiful like the moonless back then.

I was dumbfounded.

That kind of satisfaction is really an indescribable feeling.

"Nympho girl." The three-color fat cat lay on Natsume's shoulder and muttered.

I turned my eyes away from Xia Mu, put my eyes on the fat cat, and stared at it hard.

"Ms. Kitty." Natsume hugged the fat cat with one hand, reached out to take my lunch box, and frowned slightly, "Ms. Kitty, you're getting fat again."

"Are you kidding!! How can you get fat!!"

The fat cat blew up in an instant, scratching Natsume's gray low-neck sweater with its small paws, and stared wide with its obscene eyes.

"Okay, fat." Natsume put its paws off the sweater helplessly, and then looked at me with a soft light in his eyes, "Do you want to go to the park together?"

"...Okay, okay."

I put my eyes on my feet, the neatly tied bows were on the light blue canvas shoes, and I watched him send the bento box back.

"I am leaving."

He called out to the woman in the light-colored apron, turned and walked out.

"That's..."

"The person who adopted me." Natsume's voice was very soft, and those cat-like eyes overflowed with warmth, "He is a very good person."

...Adopt it?

I froze in place for a long time, until Natsume walked away and called me from a distance, "Xiao Mu."

"Hey, here we come!"

The fat cat was held in Natsume's arms, squinting, and looked very comfortable, which made me very jealous.

"What are you doing in the park?"

I asked.

The breeze blew the hair on his forehead, and he turned to look at me with a strong smile, "Didn't Xiao Mu say that you want to see gardenias when you recover?"

"I sneaked to see it after school yesterday. The gardenias in the park are in full bloom."

Indeed, it is flourishing.

Like a feast of flowers, the sight of flowers fascinates people's eyes, and the soft and light fragrance of gardenia fills every corner of the park. Natsume bent down and put down the fat cat, "Mr. Cat..."

"Really, I have something to find someone to drink, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

The fat cat walked away with its butt twisted, looking very unworthy of a beating.

I stared at its back, "Xiao Hei, do you think you can beat it after transforming?"

"Are you questioning my major?" Xiao Hei looked very high-end and elegant, "I don't like this kind of little monster at all..."

The fat cat who had gone away moved its ears, and came back in an instant, with three "well" characters appearing on its forehead, "What did you say, black bug?!"

Xiao Hei flicked his tail on my shoulder, "It's you."

"Let's go heads-up—"

"I'm still afraid of you."

So a cat and a snake ran into the flowers in the park while provoking, and disappeared.

"In a way...snakes shouldn't be able to defeat cats?"

I mutter. "Are they both going to be okay?"

"It's okay, Teacher Cat won't fight too much with him, and according to its character..."

Natsume seemed a little helpless and said, "Maybe when we find them, they will be drinking in some corner."

I immediately thought of Xiao Hei's speechless character.In an instant, all worries turned into floating clouds in the sky, wanting to make Xiao Hei suffer, heh, there is no way for the sky to rain red.

The sun in the east has slowly risen, I pursed my lips, my heart became nervous for no reason, the person I like is by my side, but what should I say?

I like you, Natsume.

Loved it for a season.

But I hate the stiff eyebrows and the stiff feeling when I speak.

Obviously I like it very much, but there is no way to express it with expressions.

"Grain weed, long time no see."

Natsume's soft voice sounded, "Is this... Gardenia?"

Seeing the young man smiling slightly towards the void, and then seeming to be talking to himself, my palms were instantly cold.

"Little Mu?"

The young man looked at me, a little puzzled, "Gu Xiezi was greeting you just now, why..."

I made a stiff smile, "I was in a daze just now, hehe, I'm a little tired, where should we sit?"

I'm really a little tired. After the demon power was sealed, the disadvantages of this body were completely revealed. It's really enough to sweat after walking a few steps.

"See you."

He waved his hand in a certain direction, and then took my hand naturally, "Go and sit in the gazebo, there are chairs there."

The scent of gardenias in the garden, and the morning moisture in the air, the boy took my hand and led me to the gazebo in the center of the park.

The warm hand wrapped my palm, which made me feel a little dazed for a moment. This is...

The boy I like holds my hand.

Is it...inadvertently, or...

The deer bumped wildly in my heart, I swallowed, and began to look for topics unnaturally, "Well, Natsume...do you have anything you like?"

I want to know him.Bit by bit, things I like, colors I like, birthdays, and...

Maybe this is the only thing that can heal the dark wound in my heart.

"Yes." Natsume took my hand in a natural manner, walked along the bluestone path dotted with clumps of gardenias, and slowly came to the center of the park, where there was a small pool with a small fountain in the middle , The crystal water drops soared into the sky, and then fell again, creating crystal and beautiful ripples on the water surface. He pulled me, looked at the small fountain, and bent his eyes.

"I like everything here." He replied softly.

I was startled.

Here's... everything?

Is it this little fountain, or that gazebo, this park, or the whole town?

For a moment, an inexplicable impulse rose in my heart, and I forcibly endured it——I can’t, I can’t…

I just wanted to ask—

"Then, do you like me?"

If you like everything here, do you... like me?

"There is a beautiful and clean blue sky, gentle and kind people, clear water, and..."

His voice is very nice. When I listen to him, I have a feeling that I am listening to a bard singing.

That kind of clean and clear artistic conception is like a mountain spring gurgling on the rocks.

I began to have aimless imaginations, people with such clear eyes and voice must have had a happy time in childhood.

Although she was adopted, she must be... happy.

"Natsume's childhood must have been beautiful." I heard me say softly, "Because Natsume now has a warm feeling in his eyes and in his heart."

However, to my surprise, in the face of my seemingly certain guess, he remained silent.I felt his hands were slightly stiff.

I suddenly felt that I had said something wrong.

...adopted.

Inexplicably, I recalled those years in the orphanage, those children who bullied me, although they were arrogant and always looked at me with disgust and hatred, but none of them could hide the desire in their eyes.

I still remember that I stood under the old blue wind chimes, listening to the beautiful sound of the wind chimes swaying when the breeze passed by the wind chimes. That flashy world.

Children outside, have parents, have... family.

And they have nothing.

No matter what the reason for their parents leaving them, standing in the orphanage, they are the abandoned people.

This is a kind of sadness.
