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

No.18 times

The moment she saw the light, Qing Lan was also stunned.She was a little dazed for a moment, took out a pen and paper, and wanted to explain.But Light backed away, shouting, "Don't come near me!"

Qing Lan had no choice but to stand where she was, her eyes blushing in embarrassment.

"Qing Xingdeng..." Guang murmured numbly, "The civet cat I saw that day turned out to be you..."

"Shinto-kun..." Natsume opened his mouth dumbly, but didn't know what he wanted to say.The deepest page in his heart was completely opened, and he felt helpless, but he didn't panic too much.

Shinto Hikaru and himself are of the same kind.

In the rare human world, they are the same kind with spiritual power.

"Qinglan, you go back first." Natsume said calmly.

Qing Lan nodded and took a look.A faint light flashed, and the cyan civet cat jumped away in the rain curtain.

Hikaru stared at the "Book of Friends" in Natsume's hand.

The icy cold rain was splashed frantically from the sky above the city, like a transparent wall separating Hikari Shinto and Takashi Natsume.The two teenagers just looked at each other from a distance through the rain curtain, like a fatal scene in a movie.

""Book of Friends"..." Hikaru spoke with difficulty, pointing to the dilapidated ledger in Natsume's hand, "Natsume, what is the name of this "Book of Friends"?"

Natsume forced himself to bravely meet those big amber eyes filled with shock.Should you be grateful?There was none of what Natsume feared most—disgust.

He clenched his fist lightly and took a deep breath:

"In "Book of Friends", they are all the names of monsters. These monsters... No one can see them here except you and me."

Takashi Natsume has been able to see monsters since he was a child.They caused him great pain.The little Natsume lives under the accusations of being a "liar". Occasionally, when he meets a monster, he is so frightened that he doesn't know what to do.

Since you can't face it—then run away.

The shoes rubbed against the green grass under his feet, tripped over the branches, and fell into the mud in embarrassment.Others showed either sympathy or contempt for the disgraced him.The monster chased after him, trying to eat him.

Natsume has been running away.Run away from relatives, from the strange eyes of teachers and classmates.Later, when he broke Madara's seal and began to return his name in "Book of Friends", he turned around little by little, and faced those monsters who looked cruel on the surface but were actually very lonely in their hearts.

The strange city is the "pure land" that Natsume Takashi came into contact with for the first time in his life.Although there are too many unknown darkness in the "cleanness" of this land, he still remembers it in his heart.The boy with golden bangs covered his head with an umbrella, protecting him from the cold sky.

Since then, he has learned more about Hikari Shindo.Kindness, cheerfulness, strength, and perseverance... those are what Takashi Natsume desires most.

In fact... In fact, he has always admired Guang deeply!

So, this time, he won't escape again.

After explaining the ins and outs of "Book of Friends", Natsume quietly stared at Hikari, waiting for his answer.

Time seems to be condensed into a leaf falling from the tree, with long and transparent lines, shimmering like dewdrops.In the endless sound of rain, there is a fragrance, and it falls long and slowly.

"Idiot..." After a long time, he heard Guang's annoyed voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier..."

"... Huh?" Natsume was taken aback.He imagined countless answers, but he never expected it to be like this: Why didn't you tell me earlier.

It seemed that he was really regretting.

"If we had met two years earlier," Hikaru raised the folding fan in his hand, with Natsume's familiar and sad warmth in his eyes, "maybe, you would have met him."

"Sai?" Natsume also smiled at him, "Well, I really want to see him too." If we had met two years earlier, we would have met the chess god that Uncle Fujiwara has always admired.Maybe there's something else I can do to help.

This is the so-called encounter.

At a certain time, I met a special person and a monster.Deep and shallow footprints are left in the snow of fate, intertwined with each other, and twisted into slightly painful knots.Reiko stops somewhere, and Takashi follows in her footsteps.Not long after, Mr. Cat sat on his shoulders, and the footprints sank deeper.He smiled at the monsters poking their heads cautiously around the corner.

Then, a group of footprints appeared beside him.Natsume looked up and saw a golden smile.

——That was probably the brightest sunshine he had ever seen.

"Ah!!" Hikaru suddenly shouted tremblingly, startling Natsume, "Natsume, you still have pneumonia, so you can't get out of the rain!"

"It's okay." Natsume quickly waved his hands, "The doctor said I'll be discharged soon—"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Hikaru grabbed Natsume's arm without any explanation, and ran towards the teaching building.

Is this the chess player's hand?Natsume stared blankly at Hikari's hand.Between the index finger and middle finger there is a thin layer of callus, which is rough to the touch.It has been honed from tens of thousands of rounds, and has been polished smooth by all the ups and downs.It was another world he didn't know.

Just looking at each other on the other side is enough.

Natsume thought so.

In the corridor of the teaching building.

"Under the floor of the attic? The blood stains reappeared and disappeared?" Natsume looked blankly at the paper doll in Hikari's hand, which looked like something from Mr. Natori, "But Sai didn't show up."

"So, what's going on here?" Guang stared at him with piercing eyes, and Natsume's furious eyes were eager to know the truth, "Where is Zuo?"

"I don't know." Natsume said quickly, "But I can help you find out."

The loss is obvious in the light of the eye. "...Then please."

"I'll do my best." Natsume said seriously.

"Also—" Guang paused, his expression suddenly turned awkward, "Mr. Cat, what exactly is it?"

"Pfft..." Natsume almost choked when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing.If the cat teacher is here, what will his reaction be when he hears that "a small yellow-haired boy" (in the words of the cat teacher) actually describes it as "what is it?"

The pinch between Hikari and Mr. Kitty is so funny.The cat teacher ran to Guang's side, it must be because of Sai's business.Teacher Cat really likes light.

"Its real name is Madara, and its real body is an elegant monster. It's just sealed in a beckoning cat container." Natsume explained, adding, "It doesn't matter, just treat it as a The cat is ready."

"Monster?" Guang recalled the monster that protected him in the attic that day, with playful cunning in his eyes, "Natsume, what is your relationship with Madara?"

Natsume said without hesitation, "It's the relationship between the owner and the pet."

"……alright, I got it."
