Scissors that cut out cause and effect

As for Asamori, Natsume didn't know why she didn't order something to eat.Although Yayuan and the monsters ate a little food, most of it fell into the stomachs of the monsters.

After the clerk brought the drinks, he asked if there was anything else he wanted, and both of them kindly said no. Afterwards, their table fell into an atmosphere of silence.

Natsume never knew what to say at such a time, and could only let the atmosphere continue to be deadlocked.However, after finishing more than half of the coffee she ordered, Asamori spoke up.Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

——I always feel that compared with other people, when I am with Asamori, I will be more nervous, and my heart will beat faster than usual.

This feeling made Natsume even more afraid to speak easily.And the thing that the monster asked him to do.Everything was mixed together, and Natsume almost felt suffocated.

"……Natsume?"

"What, what?"

Asamori's dissatisfied voice brought back Natsume's thoughts.

"Sorry." Natsume looked at Asamori apologetically. He didn't hear what Asamori said just now because he was distracted. "Can you say it again?"

"Natsume Takashi, I like you."

A simple sentence made Natsume panic, and even accidentally knocked down the cup in front of him.

The unfinished coffee flowed down the table and was about to drip to the floor.

The clerk noticed this scene early on with sharp eyes, but they couldn't completely save the floor of their store.

"I'm really sorry!"

Natsume apologized to the clerk before he had time to respond to Asamori's words.

After clearing their table, the clerk brought Natsume a glass of water.

Asamori stared at the glass of boiled water in front of Natsume, and said again: "Natsume, don't avoid the problem."

Natsume stared blankly at Asamori, feeling that what she said was not aimed at her confession, but something else.Could it be... that she knew about the misfortune?

"You have something to hide from me."

Straightforward.

Natsume thinks Asamori is very different today.Whether it is to go to Yayuan with him, or to play in the game hall, it is very abnormal.Originally thought that she was like this because of... Grandma's affairs, but now it seems that she already knows the disaster.

There is no need to hide it anymore.

Natsume didn't know where Asamori knew about it, even though she knew she already knew about it, Natsume told Asamori about it carefully.

"……That's it."

After finally telling the story, Natsume also breathed a sigh of relief.He looked at Asamori, wondering what decision Asamori would make.

Asamori didn't respond, still staring at the water glass in front of him as he was listening to Natsume's words.Natsume really wants to know what choice she will make, and at the same time is worried about Asamori.

"Will you go to him?" The him here naturally refers to the monster disaster.

"Let's go back."

Asamori did not answer, but said this to Natsume.But just such a sentence directly choked Natsume's words.

Natsume didn't ask any more questions.

When Natsume and Asamori came out of the coffee shop, the sky was already dark, and the roadside lights had already been lit. When they came to the bifurcation of the two, Asamori stopped.

"Natsume, let's stay here."

"See you."

"Goodbye."

A normal farewell, but Natsume did not expect that it was the parting words of the two of them.

29. Farewell X Encounter...

It has been a month since I said goodbye to Asamori last time.To be honest, Natsume was shocked when he went to school the next day to hear that Asamori had transferred to another school.The students in the class complained more that Asamori left without saying goodbye to them.

Time continues to move forward, and everyone lives as usual.The ghosts who came to Natsume to get back his name kept coming, and the account of friends began to thin out.However, even so, there are still many names that have not been returned.

The discussion among the students about Asamori's transfer ended a week later, and they didn't pay much attention to this student who came and left suddenly after she left.

Three months later, Natsume received a letter from Asamori.

There is not much written in the letter.

Please ask Natsume to bring some food for the monsters to eat occasionally, remind Natsume that she has buried wine somewhere for the cat teacher and so on.

When I saw this sentence, it happened that Teacher Cat jumped in from the window.Looking at his drunken appearance, Natsume guessed that the hidden wine had already been found by Mr. Cat, right?

And there's the matter of misfortune.

Asamori went to find trouble.In the mansion of the field family.

The first time I saw the name of the field, Natsume thought of the person who covered one eye.

The letter explained what happened when Asamori went to the mansion she went to.In fact, she didn't know how to talk about it with the people present.However, just as she was standing in front of the gate of the Chang's house, commotion broke out in the house.After a while, disaster came to her.

Wo asked her if she was ready to be alone.And Asamori's answer is yes.For this reason, Kazuo withdrew the power left in Asamori's body.And the disaster of gaining full power was easily solved one by one by the exorcist who ran out of the house to catch him, and sent Asamori back to her home in Tokyo.

[Natsume, remember when I said I like you?But you didn't reply me.I hope that when we meet again next time, you can answer me positively.At that time, I wish you could call me Hina. ——Asamori. ]

……

Three years later, Natsume was admitted to a university in Tokyo and was in a state of part-time work and part-study.Originally, he didn't plan to go to college because it would cost a lot of money, but Aunt Tazi and Uncle Zi insisted that he go to college.

After he was admitted to university, Teacher Cat followed him.

Now he can still see monsters, but it doesn't bother him anymore.

"Wow——Mr. Cat! Don't run around!" It's not like when I was in the town.There are so many people here, and the city is so big, if you lose it, you will never find it!

The cat teacher who was originally waiting for Natsume to go home from get off work, suddenly ran away when Natsume came out of the store.Natsume was at a loss, so he could only speed up and catch up.

"nyanyanyanyanyan—!" Natsume quickly followed up!

"Cat, Teacher Kitty." Natsume gasped and shouted. There were so many people on the road now, he couldn't compare to Teacher Kitty's physical advantage, and he bumped into several passers-by just in the process of running.

Just when Natsume was about to call Mr. Cat to stop again, Mr. Cat stopped by the steps of the overpass by himself.

"Ms. Cat?" Natsume was puzzled, and asked Mr. Cat suspiciously when he was about to approach.

At this moment, the girl who was watching Teacher Kitty raised her head, it was——

Asamori, whom I haven't seen in three years.

The appearance hasn't changed much, but the whole person looks a lot more cheerful.

"Long time no see, Kishi." Asamori greeted Natsume with a smile, "Ah, of course there is also Mr. Kitty, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Hina."

Natsume also smiled back.
