There is no friendship between mantras and monsters

The next day Natsume went to school as usual, but the difference was that there was still a person standing beside him.

"Good morning, Natsume."

Knotweed closed the courtyard door, turned around and saw Hino Yuki standing next to Natsume, "Ah, hello Yuki."

Hino Yuki's forehead protruded. He still remembered the incident of this guy turning into Natsume's room openly in front of his face, "You still have the face to say hello to me?"

The eyes of the knotweed wandered for a while, "Well, we are neighbors after all."

The three stood side by side, and Natsume glanced at the hat of Knotweed, but there was nothing in it.

So Natsume asked in a low voice: "Where's that villain you saw yesterday? Is that the patron saint you hatched?"

Hu Zhang nodded, and replied in a low voice, "I left him and Mr. Cat at home."

Thinking back to the fate (Liang Zi) formed between Mr. Cat and Best (Liang Zi) yesterday, Natsume was a little worried: "Are you all right?"

Since Hino Yuuki was still there, the two of them couldn't talk much. After waving goodbye at the fork, Katsuobu watched the two go away and received Natsume's helplessness, so Katsuobu could only pray for him silently in his heart.

Arriving at the school, Polygonum cuspidatum did not go in hastily, but observed the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that the director of the track and field department was not there, he wanted to sneak into the school.

Naihe seems to have been casting eyes on him ever since he appeared at the school gate.

Knotweed heard the whispers of people around.

"The two-year Knotweed Yuren?"

"Yes, he must be right."

"Did he really go to that show?"

"I don't know, but it is said that I went to Aomori in Yokohama during the Golden Week of Knotweed. It must be that I went to shoot."

"It's amazing! You're just a junior high school student, but you're so strong."

"That's why he came off the bench to win first place in the regional competition of the track and field department."

Hu Zhang held his head up, thinking helplessly at the same time who really got him down.

As soon as he put away his schoolbag in the classroom, Hu Zhang cast suspicious eyes on his deskmate Shan Xia.

Before the knotweed could ask, my tablemate Shanxia preempted the strike, with a gossip on his face: "Tibetan knotweed, I heard that you went to participate in some kind of extreme physical fitness competition. Is it true or not? When did you sign up and didn't tell me?"

Knotweed: "...This is to avoid this situation, so I didn't tell you."

The classmates in the class also looked at him from time to time, and the knotweed was very helpless: "I feel like I'm about to become a monkey."

Yamashita poked his elbow, "What kind of monkey, even if you want to change, you have to be a tiger, don't you think it's 'Tiger of the West'."

Hu Zhang covered his face: "Don't do this, even if I am always called that, I would still feel very ashamed."

"That Knotweed student." A voice as thin as a mosquito sounded beside him, "That homework..."

"Excuse me, just wait for me." Hu Zhang took out the homework book from his schoolbag and handed it to the man.

The homework was collected by the representative of the mathematics class in the class. She was a very fat girl weighing 150. Maybe because of her low self-esteem about her appearance, she spoke in a very low voice, but her academic performance was very good.

"Hu Zhang, why do you keep looking at that fat girl?" The deskmate found that Hu Zhang was staring at the back of a fat girl.

The class bell rang, and the teacher came in with the textbooks. Both Knotweed and Yamashita sat down and took out the textbooks. Yamashita stood up the textbooks and looked at Knotweed.

Knotweed also casually took the book as a cover, and asked Yamashita in a low voice, "I remember the rumor that Ozawa will only study hard after going to Tokyo, is it true?"

Yamashita: "No, that's Fujikawa. Ozawa is going to Tokyo because of her parents' job transfer. It is said that she is determined to finish junior high school here, so she hasn't left yet."

Knotweed lay on the table and looked a little confused: "Why do you all want to go to Tokyo?"

Yamashita raised his eyebrows: "Everyone? Who else is going to Tokyo."

Gojo Satoru didn't avoid him when talking to Otoko, although Otoko originally planned to go to Tokyo in high school, but seeing them talking about this kind of thing in front of him, he knew that Otoko would leave Sendai soon.

There is no way to do this, and Knotweed understands and supports it. As a friend, he also feels uncomfortable.

"It's nothing." Hu Zhang turned his back to the mountain and muttered softly, "You don't know me."

The reaction of the knotweed made the tablemate a little puzzled, guessing that the knotweed might be some confidante he met when he went to Tokyo, should he lose his heart?

During the lunch break, Knotweed rushed to the track and field department. He could think that the only one who would betray him was probably Hinata, after all, it was Hinata who persuaded him to sign up.

However, at noon, everyone did not find a comfortable place to take a lunch break. A group of people from the track and field department were all nestled in a small activity room. The doors and windows were closed, and a candle was lit on the table. The atmosphere was like telling a ghost story .

With a "bang", the door of the activity room was pushed open, everyone in the track and field department was startled, and then turned their heads in unison to look into the eyes of Hu Zhang.

Knotweed: "...what are you doing?"

Then, under the puzzled eyes of the knotweed, everyone in the track and field department hurriedly, those who drew the curtains drew the curtains, those who opened the windows opened the windows, those who blew out the candles, and those who changed their sports clothes for their sports clothes.

The face of the knotweed was full of question marks: "Is this the scene of a cult preaching? Why are you so flustered when you see me?"

The head of the track and field department patted the shoulder of the knotweed, then put his arms around the person and wanted to take the knotweed away, but the head of the track and field department, who was half a head taller than the knotweed and had a strong figure, couldn't pull the knot.

Knotweed didn't raise his head, "Minister, don't you spread those things?"

The minister immediately pulled Hyuga to block the sword: "He told me all."

Hinata: "?? Didn't you agree that you won't say anything?"

Hinata waved his hands wildly: "What kind of knotweed, let me explain..."

"There's no need to explain." Knotweed's voice was cold.

Hinata's legs softened and he almost didn't kneel down. He closed his eyes and said resignedly, "Be gentle when you do it."

Knotweed Heixian looked at Hinata speechlessly, "What do you think of me, can you tell me next time something like this happens? Suddenly it seems to be a famous person in school, I am also very troubled."

A team member in the corner raised his hand: "Brother Huzhang, you were already very famous in your grade, but now you have changed from ordinary famous to very famous."

Everyone saw that the knotweed didn't seem to be so angry, they looked at each other and smiled, and then rushed towards the knotweed, asking each other what it was like for the extreme physical fitness king of the knotweed to participate, and what happened.

Similar to the situation of Polygonum cuspidatum in school, Natsume felt that the atmosphere had changed subtly, not around him but around Senior Bone.

They were in a relatively secluded place for lunch break, in the grove behind the school. On the way there, he saw more than one girl looking back at them, or at Senior Yi Gu beside him.

Yi Gu opened his bento, looked at the chow mein bread bought in Natsume's school canteen, "Natsume, would you like to try mine? Especially the vegetables."

"Hey." The vegetables are healthy but it has nothing to do with his distaste for vegetables, Natsume has a bitter face, but this is also the kindness of Senior Yi Bone, "...OK."

Seeing Natsume's appearance as a class enemy, Yi Gu laughed: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

Natsume chewed the celery with a bitter face: "No, it's fine."

Yi Gu chuckled, and then took the vegetables in the bento, while Natsume secretly looked at him.

Senior Yi Bone changed his hairstyle. It is no longer the messy hair like a hedgehog before, but is neatly combed to the back of the head to reveal the full forehead. ear side.

I feel that Senior Yi Bone seems to have changed a lot. Although his expression is the same as before, he has an indescribable temperament. The feeling of being a coward is gone.

Natsume bit the bread and asked, "Did Senior Yi Bone get scared at that time?" When he was taken away by Xia Youjie, he was directly stabbed by the curse spirit, it was scary to think about it.

Yi Gu paused with his chopsticks hand, then picked up a small octopus and stuffed it into his mouth as if nothing had happened: "You are the one who was frightened, right? I haven't asked how the wound on your chest is?"

Natsume touched his chest subconsciously: "Actually, when I woke up, I didn't even have a scar on my chest. If I didn't find that I was not in Sendai, I would have thought I was dreaming."

Yi Gu smiled lightly, his blue eyes bent, he was happy for Natsume from the bottom of his heart, he felt so cold that he didn't remember how good it was, "It's really great..."

You know, he was not only frightened at the time, but he called out Lixiang on the spot.

Yi Gu told Natsume what happened afterwards, and Natsume also told about his days in the temple, and both of them concealed the part that would make the other worry about them.

The two chatted, the atmosphere was very harmonious, a voice came from a distance, it seemed to be calling Natsume's name, it was Hino Yuki.

After finding Natsume, he ran over and sat down in front of Natsume.

Hino Yuki showed a polite smile: "Let's have dinner together, Kishi."

Yi Gu: "..."

Natsume:"……"

Natsume raised his own doubts: "Brother Yuki, high school and junior high school are two campuses, right?"

Although the high school and the junior high school are adjacent, this grove is within the scope of the junior high school, so why do you appear here in the high school?

Yuki said lightly: "Why can't I come over and have lunch with you?"

Natsume quickly explained: "No, I didn't mean that."

Even if Brother Yushu is here, I can’t discuss many things with Senior Yi Gu.

The topic of conversation before, so the three of them finished their lunch in a very embarrassing atmosphere. After eating, Natsume took Yi Gu and hurried away.

On the way, Yi Gu asked: "...Is your brother eyeing you now?"

Natsume slumped his shoulders, "When the knotweed came to my room last night, brother Yuki found him, so he is a little... sensitive now."

Yi Gu was silent for a while, he decided not to tell Natsume about Hino Yuki seeing him dig out of the knotweed house.

Yi Gu: "It feels like your brother actually cares about you..."

While Natsume was helpless, he was actually a little happy: "Really?"

When school was over, Natsume specifically rejected Otoko's colleagues, and stood at the school gate waiting for Hino Yuki. He rushed to Natsume's classroom in a hurry after class, and found that Natsume was gone. Standing at the school gate waiting for him, the loss was swept away.

The wind gently blew Natsume's pale golden hair, looking at him with amber eyes, Natsume said softly, "Ah, Brother Yuki."

Hino Yuuki's eyes widened slightly, the classmate behind him patted him on the shoulder, Hino Yuuki waved goodbye to the classmate casually.

Yushu was a little embarrassed: "I thought you and that bone bone left first."

Natsume: "No, because Brother Yuki wants to be with me?"

Hino Yuuki just felt that, as expected, he didn't know him well enough before, and Takashi was actually very gentle and caring.

Sure enough, it's nice to have a younger brother!

Yuki watched as Natsume suddenly reached out and brushed up a lock of his hair.After coming to Sendai, Natsume's hair hasn't been cut much, and it's long enough to hang down to her shoulders. This length is a bit beyond the standard for boys.

Hino Yuuki asked as he walked, "Takashi, do you want to go to the barber shop this weekend?"

Natsume nodded, "That's right, in fact, I wanted to cut it before, but I didn't find the opportunity."

A few dress-up games flashed through Hino Yuuki's mind, and he shook his head, "You can also try to make a costume or something."

This made Natsume a little distressed: "It's fine to cut it short, but it's too troublesome to shape it."

Hino: "Really?"

When they came to a fork in the road, the two separated, Hino Yuuki had to go to cram school, and Natsume went straight home.

There was a girl standing at the intersection in front of her. When she saw Natsume approaching, she waved to him. Natsume was a little puzzled, but when she walked in, she realized that the girl looked familiar.

"...Xiang Zisang?"

It is the friend of the girl who was possessed by the rabbit monster before.

"Sang or something, I'm a school girl a year lower than you." Xiangzi smiled and waved her hands, introducing herself: "Xiaozaki Xiangzi, my name."
