[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

Chess Soul Special Chapter [-]

"I've known Sakai Fujiwara for 50 years."

I faintly felt that something was wrong.As if hearing a voice, Zuo Wei knocked on my door: "Light?"

The moment Zuowei opened the paper door, Teacher Kitty suddenly jumped up, and with a bang, she transformed into the image of Natsume Reiko in her high school uniform.

"Madara... Madara?" The white light came so violently that Zuo Wei and I had to cover our eyes.

After the white light fades——

The neck and arms of "Natsume Reiko" standing in front of us were covered with horrific scorched scars.Her delicate face was also smoky gray, only a pair of brown slender eyes.

"Madara?!" Zuo Wei's face turned pale, obviously frightened.

I was stunned for a full two seconds before I realized it, "Mr. Cat, did you deliberately pick this day to tease me?!" Saying that, he punched me.With a bang, "Natsume Reiko" turned into a chubby beckoning cat, and easily avoided it.

Zuo Wei was also stunned: "Madara, what did Hikari do to make you angry?"

Then the doorbell rang again.

"Good morning, Mr. Fujiwara."

"Nice to meet you, Fujiwara-san, I'm Honda..."

"Yellow-haired boy, you go out with me." Teacher Cat said.

"Why? I want to watch Zuowei play chess." I really don't want to bother with it.

Teacher Cat said surprisingly: "You don't want to take back Xiu Ce's chessboard?"

<<

"Shinto, are you going out today?" Honda asked when he saw me putting on my shoes at the entrance.Teacher Cat is catching butterflies in the yard.

"Yes, I want to get back an important thing." I turned around and said, feeling that Honda was hesitant to speak, "Honda, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Hmm...do you still remember the club of Kansai Chess Academy?"

"Of course I remember! I heard that his performance has been pretty good in the past few years, and he has also entered the title cycle!" I said, I really miss the summer of the Beidou Cup, the wonderful chess games we played, and the side-by-side challenges against China and South Korea.

"Just like you, he has made rapid progress. I visited him with the teacher before, and he used an opening technique that surprised me again." This club really hasn't changed at all!

In fact, Zuo Wei and I discussed Heshe's chess game. Zuo Wei said after my replay that She has extremely high talent, a chess player who dares to open up new paths, and has the rare ability to control strange moves. "It would be great if we could have a game with Shejun!" Zuo Wei said with longing.

"You replay the game with Zuo Wei first, and I'll watch your chess game when I come back!" I said to Honda.

<<

After explaining to Zuo Wei, Mr. Cat and I came out.Stores in Daizhen are decorated with colorful carp banners one after another, and the tram stop signs are also filled with advertisements such as "[-]% off beer for Boys' Day".

Lucky Cat walked in front of me on its short legs that I had bandaged, and the fat on its belly was trembling constantly.I couldn't help but want to laugh.

Teacher Kitty seems to have noticed that I was secretly laughing at it, and turned into Natsume Reiko again with a bang.

Even though I know that Mr. Cat's real body is Spot, and sometimes I will be overwhelmed by his aura, but I still can't feel the slightest fear of him.

So, what about Mr. Kitty?What is it minding?

When I walked to the tram stop, I couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"

Teacher Cat pointed at the electronic stop sign.When I looked, I saw that the stop sign said "Benmiao Temple".

"You even know Benmiao Temple?!"

"50 years ago, during the Sumida River Summer Night Festival, Honmyoji Temple caught fire. Reiko and I happened to be in Tokyo. Now Honmyoji Temple has been repaired, and Reiko donated a large sum of money for it."

I am speechless.Teacher Cat, how much does it know about Zuowei that I don't?

Teacher Cat suddenly raised his eyes to look at me: "Yellow-haired boy, you remember, I fulfilled my promise with Sato Fujiwara and found Xiu Ce's chessboard for you!"

<<

"I haven't seen you for four years, Shinto-kun—"

"It turns out that you are the little girl who ran here in a panic back then."

"It's Tianyuan now, it's amazing to be so young..."

The staff in Honmiao Temple greeted me one after another.

Teacher Cat said to them: "This kid is the original owner of the old chessboard that needs to be restored."

Everyone exclaimed in unison.I looked at Teacher Cat suddenly, and there was an ambiguous smile on the face that belonged to Reiko.I won't be surprised if Teacher Cat does anything else.

"What's going on?" I lowered my voice.

"Someone returned it anonymously, and I don't want you to know." Teacher Cat said briefly.

"Return it if you return it, why do you want to use it to restore cultural relics at Honmyoji Temple?" In this way, if I don't donate Toranojiro's chessboard, won't I be criticized by everyone...

"Tsk, see for yourself."

The familiar Torajiro's chessboard was quickly brought out, but there was no blush on it.Even if there is, I can't see it.

I immediately understood what "relic restoration" meant.

On the originally smooth chessboard, there were some shallow knife marks.Although it has been repaired vigorously, it cannot make up for its destructiveness.I stretched out my hand to touch these knife marks, feeling an uncontrollable pain in my heart.

What happened to Toranojiro's chessboard at Natsume's place?

At this time, an old man in a kimono came out from the inner room: "Who is the owner of the old chessboard?" I realized that his status was not low, so I quickly bowed to him.When the old man raised his head and saw Mr. Cat, his expression changed immediately.

"You... aren't you the girl who was burnt in that fire 50 years ago, recovered and then donated money to repair it?"

<<

Sure enough, I was persuaded to donate the chessboard.

"This chessboard was originally displayed in the Benmiao Temple, but it was stolen in the fire 50 years ago."

"...Huh?!" Grandpa shouldn't be that capable, stealing the chessboard while he was in the middle of the chaos, right?Besides, how could the precious chessboard that was stolen be carelessly placed in the attic to gather dust.

I tried to stammer and explain that this chessboard should have been bought by Grandpa.

But the heart has been beating drums.My God, it is actually a cultural relic on display. This is an unsolved case.Maybe there will be a lawsuit, if Xiu Ce is involved, it will definitely be listed in "Go Weekly"... Oh my god...

No, I have to take it back even if I sue. This is the precious chessboard that Zuo Wei possessed.

I am not moved by what I say, good or bad, and everyone looks at me with stiff eyes.And the old man kept staring at Mr. Cat in disbelief: "Even if people are similar, this... this is too similar!"

<<

"You'd better explain to me clearly. What is the relationship between Natsume Reiko and the fire, and the ins and outs of the chessboard."

In the ramen restaurant in Dai Town, Teacher Mao and I were sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows.Toranojiro's chessboard was placed on the table.The vehicles on the main road whizzed by, and the headlights came on one after another, illuminating the old Nineteenth Road chessboard.

Before going home, I must "interrogate" the results.Moreover, Mr. Cat himself is also weird.

In fact, I find the whole pattern of Mr. Cat and I getting along weird.Take Natsume for comparison.Teacher Cat likes Natsume very much, and the atmosphere between them will make anyone feel warm.

Teacher Cat treats me very differently.Sometimes it fights with me like a friend, sometimes just a look makes people frightened, and what it does is contradictory: several times it said it would never see me again, but it came to me again; In the next second, he turned his face.It's like someone sent by God to challenge my patience, and it's definitely comparable to Taya Ryo back then.

I still can't figure out Taya Ryo's words and deeds, let alone understand the thinking circuit of a monster.Take my life and forget it.

But... there is no way, I like Teacher Cat.

Moreover, the Madara in the beckoning cat container is the only monster I can see.

I was so close to the world of Natsume's Book of Friends.I really wanted to see the grotesque world in Natsume's eyes, but everything ended early.

Before I had time to own your world, I lost the right to see it.

At this time, the steaming hot Suxi hot pot is served.Mr. Cat scooped up the taiyaki and ate it unceremoniously.I ordered a dozen beers.Teacher Cat took the lead to drink a cup.

Colorful carp banners fluttered outside the window, and the wind and neon splashed over and fell into its eyes.No matter how cynical the pupils are, there is also the flow of fireworks in the world.

What is the difference between what you see and what I see?

I was suddenly jealous of Natsume.Just because of Teacher Cat and what they saw.

"Yellow-haired boy, met Fujiwara Sakai and us, are you happy?" Teacher Cat asked.

Is it drunk so quickly?I laughed: "It's really not like you would ask an export question."

"You can answer, there is so much nonsense."

"Of course I'm happy." I said firmly, and then asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"I?"

"You're a monster, don't you get annoyed by always mixing with us mere human beings?" I asked half jokingly.

"Annoying, very annoying." To my surprise, Teacher Cat lowered his head, his tone became strange and cold: "Always be so obsessed and suffer for no reason, obviously a poor creature like an ant!"

I fell silent suddenly.

For a while, only the sound of flying carp banners could be heard.

"Since it's annoying, why do you always stay with Natsume?" I asked softly, feeling slightly hurt, maybe because I thought of Zuowei.

"You think I'm happy? It's just for "Friends' Book." Mr. Cat swallowed a sip of wine, his tone was still indifferent, but his face was strangely flushed.

Was it just for playing chess when you attached to me?

"You can't let Natsume hear that." I smiled nonchalantly, and was surprised to find that my voice trembled a little, "He will be very sad."

"There are so many things that make that kid sad. He cries in bed all day long, exactly the same as Reiko, exactly the same! 50 years ago, Reiko was burned. I watched her cry in pain, but I just couldn't wake up. ..."

Maybe it was because of being drunk, Teacher Cat's expression was filled with indescribable sadness.

"Torajiro's chessboard, did Reiko steal it?" I tentatively asked, and poured another glass of wine for it, "...You mean, without Reiko, there would be no encounter between me and Zuowei?"
