There is no friendship between mantras and monsters

The festival is on the weekend, and after knowing that Yi Gu is also going, Knotweed only tells them to be careful.

Although the knotweed looks silly and carefree, but after getting along for so long, they also know that the knotweed is actually as careful as a hair, so caring that they don't know what he is thinking in his heart, whether he is happy or unhappy.

When Natsume was cautiously catering to them, he would deliberately puncture him to open up his heart; and when Senior Yi Bone felt inferior, he would pretend to be silly and happy in front of him.

After reacting, besides the bento for dinner, I have already received a lot of care from the knotweed.

They also want to do something for Knotweed Yujin.

Some miraculous things might be found at the mountain god's festival. Although Natsume didn't hold out hope, but he had a little luck, maybe he could find something unexpected.

On the weekend, Polygonum cuspidatum came out of the hospital with an empty bento box in his hand.

Best stays in his hat, "Yuhito."

Knotweed: "What's wrong?"

Best poked his head out of the hat, "I'm worried about you."

"There's nothing to worry about." Hu Zhang smiled and said, "Are you bored because you haven't seen Mr. Cat?"

"That's not true, I didn't miss him." Best sat back in his hat, puffed his face and whispered, "I'm just curious about the ceremony."

Knotweed: "Well, you should have said earlier, Natsume must have agreed to take you there."

Best flew out of the hat and patted his face with a paw, which was painless.

He said dissatisfiedly: "I am your guardian sweetheart, your patron saint, how could I leave you."

Hu Zhang was very happy when he heard that, "Really, hehe."

Seeing the appearance of Knotweed, Best suddenly felt a little angry, "Youren, what do you want to do now, with your friends, or go home alone? Let the lonely children become less lonely!"

As Best's words fell, tiger ears appeared on the head of the knotweed, and the tail shook behind him.

He suddenly took a step back uncontrollably and murmured, "I'm going to find a friend."

Then it disappeared with a whoosh like a car starting its engine, leaving Best standing where he was.

Best: "Huh?"

Best: "Hey!"

Too bad he didn't have time to grab the knotweed stick, but he couldn't see the knotweed stick anymore.

Wait for me!Best jumped anxiously, and then hurriedly flew towards the direction where the knotweed left.

At Hyuga Ramen restaurant, Hyuga was stopped by Knotweed suddenly rushing out: "Sorry, Knotweed, I don't have time, I have to help the family buy vegetables."

Running directly from Sugisawa Hospital to the vicinity of Hyuga Ramen Restaurant, Knotweed also recovered from the influence of the guardian sweetheart.Full of shame, he couldn't help squatting down covering his face.

Hinata looked at Knotabazu and couldn't figure it out, "Kowatsuki, are you okay, I'm going to buy vegetables."

Hu Zhang buried his face in his knees, "Go, I don't have the face to face anyone anymore."

A stone hit the back of the knotweed, and the voice of the knotweed was muffled, "You don't have to worry about me."

Another stone hit the back of the knotweed, and the knotweed didn't move for a long time. He thought that Hinata had left, but when he turned his head, he saw the direction from which the stone was thrown. Seeing him turning his head, he was stunned for a moment.

Knotweed:  …

Knotweed: "Natsume, do you want to kill me?"

It turned out that you were the one who threw stones at me, didn't you just not respond, it shouldn't be like this.

The stone was thrown to the ground with a bang, and even a little smoke was raised. Knotweed even trembled at the sound, and he confirmed to the boy, "Natsume, I didn't offend you, did I?"

The pale blond boy threw the stone down, and it was only then that Knotweed saw that he had a dark fox mask on his face, and he was wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School, "Natsume" stretched out his hand towards Knotweed.

The knotweed was a little strange, but still obediently walked over and put his hand on "Natsume", "Natsume, why are you here, didn't you go to the festival?"

"Natsume" took the hand of Knotweed, and led him up the mountain of Lord Mountain God. "Natsume" Knotweed just wanted to ask something, but "Natsume" pulled it out from the bushes.

They stood on the stone steps and looked up along the steps. The red torii stood at the end of the stairs, and the noisy sound came from above.

Is this the festival of monsters?

When Hu Zhang was still in a daze, his eyes suddenly darkened, and a white mask was put on Hu Zhang's face.Knotweed blinked, his sight limited by the mask.

Knotweed subconsciously reached out to touch it, "Why did you suddenly put on a mask for me?"

There was a voice at the end of the stairs. Knotweed looked up, and a monster with bull horns stood on it and waved at them, "Hey! Is this a monster who came to participate in the festival? Hurry up."

"Why did you bring me to the festival all of a sudden? I have to deliver food to grandpa at night, and I haven't finished my homework yet, Natsume."

However, "Natsume" didn't hear it, but took the knotweed and went up to the end of the steps, entering the monster festival.Although the highlight of the festival is at night, many monsters have already set up booths.

Knotweed followed "Natsume" all the way, frowning and looking at the writing on the stall, "What's that written?"

Many stalls know what they sell at a glance, while others are confusing. "Natsume" held his hand and stopped in front of an oden stall.

Knotweed: "Hey, I'm not hungry yet."

Although "Natsume" didn't speak all the time, he made a gesture to the fox owner of Kanto Cook, and people knew what he was talking about.

Knotweed wanted to refuse, but just after a cup of oden was stuffed in his arms, "Natsume" dragged him to another booth to play, and there were only the two of them in front of the booth that had just been set up.

Knotweed was still thinking about Grandpa Wasuke's dinner, but he couldn't help being pulled by "Natsume" to play, and even turned around and dragged "Natsume" to go shopping together.

I walked all the way to the end of the stall, and there was a shrine at the end of the stall. At this time, Knotweed had already carried a lot of things that were bought by "Natsume". Sitting on the stairs of the shrine, the two began to deal with the food they bought.

Knotweed chewed the ball, "I didn't expect that you would bring me here suddenly. This mask has the same effect as the mask made by Cat Sang before, so that the monsters won't find out that I'm human."

"Natsume" nodded, he held his chin to look at the knotweed, and the knotweed felt weird in front of a fox mask, but seeing that "Natsume" was unwilling to take off the mask, the knotweed chewed the balls and thought for a while, then took it from the oden An octopus skewer was handed to "Natsume".

Polygonum cuspidatum showed a bright smile: "If you keep staring at me to eat, you will also be greedy."

"Natsume" might have been dazzled by Knotweed's bright smile, but he didn't even react to the octopus skewered in his hand.

Knotweed asked: "Aren't you going to eat it? I think that Uncle Fox's cooking is quite good."

"Natsume" was urged, lifted a corner of the mask, a bunch of octopus was eaten, he reached for it again but met the pitiful eyes of the knotweed.

"There's only one left..."

Then "Natsume" mercilessly took away the last piece of oden.

Knotweed: QAQ, actually I’m hungry, do you believe me?

Unexpectedly, after eating, "Natsume" took him to the oden of the fox monster to buy a lot.Knotweed didn't expect "Natsume" to be so decisive, he didn't know what to say with the oden.

As it was getting late, "Natsume" took the hand of the knotweed again, and then pointed to the road leading down the mountain.

Knotweed was a little tangled in holding something: "You..."

"Natsume" tilted his head, and Knotweed suddenly approached him and had already taken off his mask, but "Natsume" didn't take off his mask. Through the black fox mask, Knotweed saw a pair of golden vertical pupil eyes.

Knotweed: "I thought you were taking me somewhere else."

"Natsume" was silent for a while, "You know?"

It was a deep male voice completely different from Natsume's.

Knotweed smirked and scratched his head, "Actually, I didn't recognize it at first, and I don't know where you are taking me, but Natsume told me something."

'Don't let yourself get too far away from this world, or you will be hidden by the gods. '

"Are you trying to hide from me?" Hu Zhang asked with a very serious expression on his face, "But I'm not too far away, and I don't want to leave either. Are there still grandpa and friends waiting for me? , I ran too fast just now, Best is still in place, and I still have a lot of nostalgia."

Anyway, he had already been exposed, so he stopped pretending. With a bang, his long black hair fell to his waist, and a young man in a black fox mask stood in front of Knotweed.

He said, "You don't deserve to be there, a pure child like you can easily be defiled."

Knotweed was embarrassed and embarrassed at the same time, "It's too embarrassing to say, pure or something, can I understand it as a compliment?"

The young man with the fox mask caressed Knotweed's face: "Especially a man-made pure child like you, who is more suitable than anyone else to accommodate filth or magic. It is your best choice to follow me, otherwise you will regret it one day."

The brown-red eyes of the knotweed met the golden eyes of the young man fearlessly, "I don't know what my future is, but no matter what, I will not regret my choice. After all, a man must have no regrets in doing things. This is Grandpa. Taught me."

"I have done bad things too, and I don't feel how pure I am. Whether it is artificial or natural, I will not go with you. I have my own way to go."

The young man in the fox mask let go of his knotweed, looked at him silently, and said, "I will wait for the day you change your mind, and if you regret it one day, just call my name."

"You don't have to be so persistent." Polygonum cuspidatum couldn't understand: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, maybe I will die when I change my mind."

The young man in the fox mask ignored the not-so-funny joke of the knotweed stick, stuck to the knotweed's ear and left his name, and then disappeared in front of the knotweed with a wave of his sleeves.

"Hey, so many things you bought are still there!" Knotweed yelled, but couldn't call anyone back, and he sighed looking at the messy little things in his arms.

"Speaking of which, he didn't take back the mask he gave. Forget it, I'll take it back. I'll ask Cat Sang to return it some other day."

Although this monster seems to want to hide himself, he is still easy to talk to. He doesn't force people at all. He also takes himself to festivals and buys so many things. He feels like a good person.

The mountain god sitting in the shrine over there looked at the fox-masked young man in front of him speechlessly.

Master Shanshen held the wine plate: "What are you doing?"

The young man in the fox mask covered his face, oh no, he covered his mask, "It's too bad, that child is too obedient, and very cute, why is such a well-behaved child actually made?"

"Is it very good? I haven't had much contact with it, and a child who can carry a god and Buddha must be perfect in terms of humanity and divinity." Master Shanshen complained.

"It's a pity, but I don't want to force him." The fox-masked youth raised his head, "Anyway, one day, he will take the initiative to come to me, and he will be mine."

Lord Shanshen took a sip of his wine and was noncommittal.

The author has something to say:

=====

The light fell on his shoulders through the stained glass. In the bright church, Knotaba Yuhito was dressed in black, like the only shadow in the light.

A scar stretched across the bridge of the nose, and the once bright brown-red eyes were as deep as stagnant water.He looked up at the stained glass behind him, and the light pierced his eyes without illuminating their color.

"It's useless even if you regret it." Hu Zhang said softly, "It must be atonement."

In a daze, he seemed to see the man still dressed in black, with a dark fox mask, looking at the statue of Christ under the stained glass with his mouth curled up.

The knotweed couldn't help asking: "I'm already a sinner, am I still pure?"

The young man with the fox mask turned to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up under the mask, "Of course, it's still pure."

The direction of the original.

After being severely beaten by JJXX, the knotweed felt a little bit divine, even in the clapping part, facing the indifference of the curse spirit, I felt a bit of condescending pity.
