"What's the matter, April [-]st?"

"What's the matter, April [-]st?"

When he woke up on April [-]st, he saw Quan Luduo Lu beside the bed, looking at him worriedly.

"Is it a nightmare?"

"No." Smiling and kissing the foreheads of the two girls, watching the two girls fighting there, April [-] not only raised the corners of his lips.

"It's just that someone entered my dream."

Who is it?Although the spiritual power of the person who entered his dream was not weak, he couldn't enter the dream, at most he was a bystander.

Although he couldn't find the person who was spying on his dreams in reverse, he was not in a hurry on April [-]st.

When the time comes, you will see it naturally.

"Are you still going to sleep on April [-]st?"

"Are you still going to sleep on April [-]st?"

"No." April [-] got up and touched the heads of the two girls, "It's time to get up. I'm afraid there will be guests today."

"Good~"

"Good~"

Putting on a dark blue robe on April [-]st, she sat quietly in the hall, waiting for the arrival of the guests.Said it was waiting, but in fact it was just closing your eyes and resting on the sofa.On April [-]st, he didn't worry about wasting time at all. After all, the most important thing he lacked now was time.

At the gate, a little girl stood at the door, as if hesitating whether to go in or not.

Before she finished hesitating, she saw two little girls, one blue and one pink, and a handsome boy come out.

"You... hello..." She was a little cautious, her eyes averted.

"Since you are here, you are my guest. Please come in." The boy turned and returned to the shop after speaking.

As if she had been pardoned, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help taking a deep breath when she stepped through the gate, looking very nervous.

April [-] looked at the nervous little girl in front of him with some amusement.He did know why the other party was so nervous.

This little girl is a peach blossom demon.

The Peach Blossom Demon is not a rare monster, and its power is not very powerful, but because they live in groups and will not harm people, so ordinary demon extermination masters will not take the initiative to use the Peach Blossom Demon as a shikigami.

And the Peach Blossom Demon in front of him is nothing special compared to the general Peach Blossom Demon.

The only unique thing should be that she has a wish.

"So, what wish did you come here to fulfill?"

The Peach Blossom Demon stared blankly at the shopkeeper in front of her.

What does she wish for?

The Peach Blossom Demon closed her eyes slightly, thinking she was asking her heart.

There is no rush on April [-]st, after all, the Peach Blossom Demon is notoriously confused, obviously, this person came here before he knew what his wish was.

By the way, she wants to...

"I want my name back!"

As the Peach Blossom Demon spoke, another voice sounded from the bottom of her heart: I still want to see her again...

name?

April [-] frowned slightly.

He remembered that Ms. Yuko said, "To be known by the name is to be mastered by the opponent. A part of the soul is to be known by the opponent. To be known by the date of birth is to be to be mastered by the experience and future development since birth." It's not very strong, but it has great restraint on monsters—especially relatively weak monsters like Peach Blossom Demon.Monsters generally never tell others their real names, let alone give their names to others.

"So, who is it that took your name?"

"Reiko, Natsume Reiko."

"Really." April [-] took a sip of black tea, the tea reflected his strange eyes.

He had heard of this Natsume Reiko—in fact, Reiko was "famous" among monsters, and Catwoman had mentioned Natsume Reiko to him many times.

But I haven't seen it myself.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up on April [-]st, curled his mouth, and said, "Then, let me fulfill your wish."

He had a hunch that this time he might meet someone with a great relationship.

****

"Hmph, there are no Nanatsujiya steamed buns here, Natsume must buy me a lot of steamed buns when you go back!"

The fat cat lay on the thin boy's shoulders, making people very worried whether the cat would crush the boy's shoulders.

Not only that, but the cat was meowing incessantly - that's all a normal person could hear - and writhing, as if throwing a tantrum.

Natsume was already immune to Mr. Kitty's complaints.Since coming to Tokyo, Mr. Cat has been complaining.Complaining about the lack of wine here, complaining about the bad air here, and complaining that the monsters here are too timid, Natsume no longer wants to talk to the fat cat.

Oh, by the way, because there are many monster extermination masters in Tokyo, the little monsters don't dare to wander around, and they don't dare to approach Madara casually, so Madara has no way to get wine, and the lady's house where he boards is not either. Often drunk, so...

Natsume thinks this is a good thing.

The dead of night is a good time to dream.

So, Natsume was dreaming again.

But this time, he didn't dream of the oppressive darkness, but soft pink and flying peach blossoms.

Natsume was still a little confused after waking up.

Experience told him that this dream was mostly related to monsters.But what monsters are related to peach blossoms?

Then he was laughed at by the cat teacher.

"Nonsense, the demon related to the peach blossom is of course the peach blossom demon!"

"Peach Blossom Demon?" Natsume really didn't know there was such a species as Peach Blossom Demon.

"Peach Blossom Demons are relatively weak monsters, but their peach blossom brew and peach blossom cakes are really delicious."

Natsume selectively ignored the second half of Teacher Kitty's words.

The Peach Blossom Demon...Natsume unconsciously caressed the slightly old account of friends, wondering if the Peach Blossom Demon had anything to do with the account of friends.

Regardless of whether it is related or not, the consequences of being troubled by nightmares in the past few days are the consequences of falling asleep in class and falling asleep...

Natsume couldn't bear to look directly at her paper.

Fortunately, everyone didn't do very well in the exam this time, and Natsume's results were more or less passable.

"Ah, Lan, I'm miserable. I failed the exam." Suzuki Sonoko hurried to complain to his friends after class.

Mao Lilan was frowning this time.She also did not do well in the exam.

"It's okay, everyone didn't pass the exam this time, right?" Shiliang Zhenchun comforted the two friends who didn't pass the exam, and pressed his high score paper at the bottom of the book by the way.

Just kidding, taking out the high score paper at this time has no other effect except to draw hatred.

"Shiliang, I remember you did well in the exam." Suzuki Sonoko stared straight at Shiliang, "Why don't you help me with tutoring."

"Forget it, Yuanzi, Shiliang is usually very busy." Mao Lilan knew very well that even if Yuanzi asked Shiliang to help her with tuition, Yuanzi's personality would not have much effect.

"Yes, yes, Lan, of course you are not afraid. After all, you have that detective who can help you with tutoring."

"Yuanzi, what are you talking about? Xinyi hasn't come to class for a long time." Mao Lilan looked at the back table, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Natsume's location was relatively close to them, and these people didn't mean to restrain their voices at all, so Natsume listened to the whole process.

However, the detective they were talking about...

Natsume turned his head to look at the seat on his right, which had indeed been empty for a long time.

"Speaking of which, Lan, have you thought about it?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly changed the subject.But obviously Mao Lilan didn't understand the meaning of her words.

"It's just a wish, a wish. Didn't the shopkeeper ask what your wish is?"

Hearing this, Natsume turned his head unconsciously.The shop owner who can fulfill his wish should be him...

As an excellent detective, Sera Masumi was always paying attention to the situation around her, and Natsume noticed it as soon as she turned her head.

"What's the matter, Natsume-san, have you heard of this shopkeeper too?"

In fact, he had seen himself.

However, Natsume did want to meet the shopkeeper—for the boy's blackness.

****

Standing at the door of the store, Natsume looked at the slightly quaint hut in front of him, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.The last time he came in in a hurry, he didn't look at the store very carefully.

But this time is different.Just looking at the house, Natsume could feel the strength of the owner.

Determined to go in, Natsume was suddenly grabbed by a monster.

"Lingzi, Lingzi, you're back!" the little monster said excitedly, grabbing the hem of his clothes.

Natsume was stunned for a moment, this little monster should also know Reiko, maybe her name is also on the friend account.

"Reiko, what's wrong with you? Don't you remember me?" The little monster was a little sad to see Natsume ignoring her for so long.

She is the Peach Blossom Demon.The shopkeeper told her to wait here until someone returned her name to her.

After finally waiting, I met Reiko, but why didn't Reiko know her?

"Sorry, I'm not Reiko. Reiko is my grandmother, she has passed away."

She heard the person in front of her say so.

"No, no, you are Reiko!"

how can that be possible?The person in front of him clearly had the same aura as Reiko, so how could it not be Reiko?

When he came out on April [-]st, he saw the Peach Blossom Demon pulling the boy's clothes, as if he had been wronged by something, he was about to cry.The young man looked helpless.

"What's the matter?" April [-]st stood in the yard and asked with a smile, "Do you want to come in first?"

Inexplicably, Natsume who was sitting in the reception room looked at the Peach Blossom Demon next to him, feeling tired.He told this little monster many times that he was not Reiko, but the little monster didn't listen, and kept saying that he was Reiko, and that Reiko didn't want her anymore.

April [-] looked at the Peach Blossom Demon, but smiled and said nothing.

The Peach Blossom Demon is also famous for its stubbornness.

"Most monsters recognize humans by their breath. The weaker the monster, the less able to distinguish the difference between male and female." April [-]st explained.

"Okay, the person who owns your name has come, let him return your name to you." After speaking, April [-] voluntarily exited the room, leaving the space for a man and a demon.

"You're really not Lingzi..." Peach Blossom Demon didn't understand, it was promised that Lingzi would come back to find her, why did Lingzi leave first?

"Yes. Now, I'll give you your name back."

When returning the name, Natsume saw that soft pink again.

****

The Peach Blossom Demon remembered that she originally wanted to get water from the river that day, but got lost for some reason.

The forest, which is not so dangerous to humans, is simply a nightmare to the lonely Peach Blossom Demon.Their Peach Blossom Demons are weak to begin with, and many monsters—even if they are not very powerful themselves—will come to bully them.What's more, what about some more ferocious monsters?

Fortunately, she was lucky. Although there were a lot of monsters who bullied her, she didn't meet any monsters who wanted to eat her.

She cried and ran forward.She didn't know if this was the way back to the group, or if there would be more terrifying monsters ahead.

Knowing she bumped into that cat-like human girl.

When the monsters behind her saw her, they ran away like a mouse seeing a cat, and she heard them shouting: "Natsume Reiko is here! Run!"

So, is this person called Natsume Reiko?

What a nice name.

She helped her drive away the monsters and sent her back to the clan.But as if possessed, she couldn't help but think about this human girl.

Soon, she met her again.

By the river, the girl named Reiko seems to be taking a lunch break.She was a little strange. Although she didn't understand humans very well, she also knew that at this time, she, Reiko, should be playing with other humans who were her age.

She couldn't help approaching her, but didn't want to wake her up.Maybe she wasn't asleep at all?

"You... Hello... I, I am..." Facing her cat-like eyes, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak, and at the same time, she was annoyed at her poor performance.

"You are the Peach Blossom Demon I rescued last time. Why, lost again?" She asked casually.

"No, no! You, you saved me last time, so...so I want to treat you to peach blossom cake and peach blossom stuffing!"

"Our Peach Blossom Demon is best at doing things"

Reiko seemed moved by her words.

Then, she often met with Reiko, and she gave her the best peach blossom cakes and stuffed peach blossoms she made, and Reiko also helped her drive away the monsters who bullied her.

But soon—for the Peach Blossom Demon, soon, Reiko no longer wanted her.

"Little guy, I'm leaving."

For a moment, it was like a thunderbolt.

"Before we leave," she saw Reiko took out a green notebook, "Let's compete. If you lose, give me your name. If I lose, I'll give you my name."

But I don't want to compare with you.

Sure enough, she lost.She gave the name to Reiko, and she also saw that there were many names of monsters in that book.

Lingzi said, this is a friend account, so, is she also Lingzi's friend?

Reiko is gone, no matter how delicious peach blossom cake she brings, no cat-like girl will wait for her.Whether or not she was being bullied by other monsters again, no girl would help her drive them away.

Peach Blossom Demon originally thought that she should get used to the days when Reiko was not around, but she still couldn't help but have a little hope in her heart

——she still wanted to see her again.

****

So this is ah.Is this your wish, Yanchun?

After returning the name, Natsume inevitably felt tired.At this time, the shopkeeper just came in.

"My wish has come true. May I ask what the price is?" The Peach Blossom Demon who got her name back was a little depressed, but she did not forget the shopkeeper's rules.

"Is there a price... I heard that the Peach Blossom Demon is good at making peach blossom cakes and peach blossom stuffing, and using those as the price is enough."

After the Peach Blossom Demon left, the shopkeeper turned his head and said to Natsume, "There are no chances in this world, there are only inevitability. Your coming must also be inevitable. I don't know why you are looking for me?"

"However, please don't worry, the guests will be here soon."
