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

No.20 five times

"I'm sorry, I said so much to you all of a sudden." Ryo said apologetically to Natsume, "Maybe it's because you are the first friend of my cousin I met." More likely because he didn't know Natsume, Natsume doesn't know him either.

"Thank you for telling me this." Natsume smiled at the strange boy, "You are all very gentle people."

"This one, let's put it here." Liang pointed to the windmill.It's always embarrassing to visit someone empty-handed.

"Huh? This is from Mr. Natori, how about—"

"It doesn't matter, I will have many more in the future." Liang's expression reveals a trace of arrogance and calmness.At that moment, Natsume suddenly understood why both Hikari and Natori said that Ryo-kun was proud, because he always had confidence in himself.

"Okay. Thank you, Taya-kun." Natsume couldn't refuse.Natori's craftsmanship is unexpectedly good. The paper windmill made of paper dolls used for exorcising demons is exquisite and ingenious, and there is an aesthetic feeling that two worlds are intertwined.Liang Jun is really a very thoughtful person.

"If Jinto contacts you, please tell him, I will wait for his replay in the clubhouse."

"Okay." Natsume nodded, and asked with some concern, "Why does Taya-kun think Shinto-kun will contact me?"

Liang's expression was complicated and unclear for a moment, and soon he regained his composure: "You are Shinto's most important friend, aren't you?"

Natsume was silent.The moment Guang hung up the phone, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, a subtle feeling of melancholy, loneliness and relief.At the end of the day, it's just a simple sentence: Sure enough, that's it.

Because there is no expectation, so there is no disappointment.Natsume smiled slightly: "Shinto-kun's most important friend should be Taya-kun."

Liang looked at him in surprise.Originally, Natsume didn't like to say something behind his back, but Liang-kun seemed to really care.Light never told him what was in his heart, just like himself, the monster on the tree, and Wada Numa.Natsume thought, if he had been more frank at the time, would the result have been different?

"Shindo-kun told me that the reason you care about him is largely because of another figure." Natsume said, watching Liang's eyes gradually transition from bewilderment to surprise to inconceivable, "Shinto-kun said, he I am very afraid that one day, you will tell him that what you care about is never the real him."

Liang's expression at this moment can no longer be simply described as shock.Hikari told Natsume all this?Liang couldn't help but carefully looked at this cold and indifferent young man.The paper pinwheel was spinning quietly at his slender fingertips.Maybe he shouldn't be too surprised. Didn't the me just now tell him the story of the paper pinwheel?

"He... told you everything?" Liang tentatively asked, his heart seemed to be hanging in the air.

Natsume shook his head: "No, he didn't say anything." He guessed about Sai.

"Oh..." Liang breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, pondered Natsume's words carefully, and felt that he had heard something wrong, "Shinto said, I never cared about the real him?" He suddenly felt annoyed, and wrote In Shinto's eyes, his staring and chasing for the past five years is all fake, "What's the point of him worrying about it?! It's better to play a game of chess seriously!"

"It makes sense." To Liang's surprise, Natsume's expression became stubborn, "No one is willing to depend on another person to exist. It's an insult to each other. As much as he likes you and Sai, he doesn't like you." Willing to rely on Sai to compete for the title of Honinbo with you. Shinto-kun, he is also proud."

It was Teacher Cat who reminded him.After Miss Yoko's lover betrayed her, the whistle imitated the man's voice, hid behind a door, and accompanied her through the most difficult years.If the whistle had told Yoko the truth rashly from the very beginning, Yoko would have been frightened.But who has considered the feeling of the whistle?Love and kindness without self is bound to be sad.From the beginning, it was humble to the dust.But light, he's not a whistle.

Ryo was stunned, utterly stunned.He didn't know where Natsume's astonishing explanation came from, but he remembered Hikari's expression when he walked out of the big avalanche move, painful, with a kind of desperate determination.If he had just played according to Xiu Ce's chess, he might not have lost this game.

It's just like... Guangxin's game with his father in the first league.As if unwillingly rejecting something.

Shinto, I don't understand.I really don't understand!

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

When Hikaru got out of the car, he heard a "shoot", and a fat three-color beckoning cat appeared in front of him.Guang just called out "Mr. Cat?" Mr. Cat turned into a girl in a blue sailor suit.With long light blonde hair and slightly protruding eyes, his appearance is a replica of Natsume.Just looked dumbfounded.

"I can take the form of a human." The cat teacher briefly explained, "This appearance is Natsume's grandmother, Natsume Reiko."

It took Guang a long time to react, his fingers trembling: "So you...you can talk!"

"Huh?" Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes and dragged out his tone.That menacing expression clearly said, "Don't you dare to say another word and try."

"Mr. Cat, why did you come to see me?" Guang asked innocently.

What are you looking for?Cut, if Natsume was not worried about you, I would not hesitate to make this trip.

Teacher Cat said: "Of course I'm looking for you to eat. I'm hungry."

"But is there food near the hospital?"

"Where do I go to eat and you, a human being, have to take care of it?!"

"..."

"Take me to find something to eat! Immediately!"

"But I'm going to Ben--"

"Huh?" A sharp glance flew over.

"Now that I know, I'll take you to find something to eat!"

...So, Hikari and Mr. Cat sat in a nearby ramen restaurant.Teacher Cat ordered five bowls of ramen in one go.Just looking at his wallet wants to cry but has no tears.

"Mr. Cat, I am the one who lost today, okay?" Guang said helplessly.

"Tsk, that's a nonsense." Mr. Cat said vaguely, not taking the title fight that Guang just lost as a serious matter. , "You still have some advantages."

"Huh?" He said this without thinking, and just stared at it.

"The ramen you order every time you go to the restaurant is delicious. It's much more delicious than that guy Natsume ordered."

"Ha, of course, I'm not exaggerating, I've tried almost all the ramen in Tokyo! Friends have to ask me if they want ramen." Just mentioning this point is very proud.

"Oh yes, is there anything delicious near Tokyo Hospital?"

"The Chinese Ramen is the best. There is one near the Tokyo Hospital. Every time I visit Natsume, I will eat several bowls there!"

"No wonder you keep visiting Natsume, it turns out it's because of the ramen there."

"Ahaha, you've seen it all... Hey, that's enough, Mr. Cat, didn't you come to comfort me?"

"Comfort you? Don't you even think about it." It suddenly raised its head, narrowing its bright eyes, "Shinto Hikaru, you owe me once."

"what?"

"That guy Natsume hasn't told you yet. His pneumonia hasn't fully recovered, but he's fine." Mr. Cat sucked in the noodles with a rustle, "He'll go home in two days."

"Huh?!" Guangyi stood up, shocked.The news was so sudden that there was almost no room for him to ask, "Why didn't Natsume tell me?"

"That kid always worries too much. He said he was afraid of affecting your chess game, afraid of this and that."

Yes, Natsume just has too many worries!Guang looked dejectedly at the big bowl of ramen in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite.If Mr. Cat hadn't come to him, wouldn't he not even be able to say goodbye to Natsume?How could Natsume do this?

"Boy, what's the matter with your dying expression?" Teacher Cat looked at him.In a sense, it uncovered the truth behind Sai's disappearance.For the light, it has a guilt.

"What's going on." Guang said evasively, "Isn't it just a loss. I haven't lost a whole season before."

A wad of tissue slams into his golden bangs.Teacher Cat snorted out of his nose: "I am a noble high-level monster. I can't even tell what a stupid human like you is thinking. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Hikari awkwardly held the ramen bowl on the table.The heat spread to his palm, but he felt cold all over his body.

The chess he plays is all he has?

No, it is not.The presence of Natori and Natsume made it impossible for him to deceive himself.Natori saw Sakai behind him.Those two games of chess were not played by Jin Tengguang.Zuo Wei is to him, just like monsters are to Natsume, ordinary people cannot see them, but they exist distinctly in the eyes of those who can 'see'.

Sato Fujiwara - "The Secret That's Not a Secret".

When Natori said those words, Hikari felt like the whole sky was falling down.All his feelings changed.In this city, how many people saw Zuo Wei?They kept silent only under the pressure of speaking out and being unacceptable to ordinary people.Among the chess players who played against him, is there anyone who can also "see"?When Zuo Wei played chess in the new first stage league, were they all secretly mocking him?

I am not afraid of others pointing at my back, but there is a saying that I can't accept just thinking about him, that is - a liar.

The reason why the entire Chess Academy paid attention to him was because of Zuo Wei.Without Zuowei behind him, Ryo wouldn't even look him in the eye.During the years Zuo Wei left, he seemed to be stepping on ground that would collapse at any time.He was afraid that Liang would say that he was a liar, and at the same time expected Liang to discover his secret.

Until the appearance of Natsume completely shattered all this.

Hikari lost the round in a tragic way.Every time he made a move, he felt that a knife was being cut in his heart, every move of Zuo Wei had penetrated into his bones, and it was not easy to prove himself.He felt that his soul was divided into two halves, one half belonged to himself playing chess on the chessboard, and the other half was hanging in the air watching him nervously clenched his folding fan... His rationality jumped out and asked him: Hikari Shinto, what are you doing? What?

yeah what is he doingExcept for the first two rounds and the new first stage league, which was played by Zuo, every round was played by himself.Why is he still panicking?He really wanted to break Liang's heart to see who the person inside was, but so what if he saw it clearly?If the person inside is Zuo Wei, is he going to part ways with Liang?

"Perhaps you will think that I am lucky, because I stepped on the shoulders of giants." Guang sighed, "But here I am," he put his hand on his heart, his eyes glowing, "I can't let go. "

Light likes Zuowei very much, but he wants to stand beside Liang alone.

"Hitaka Shinto, your pride is a piece of glass." Mr. Cat's eyes bent a little deeper, a little confused, a little pity and a little disapproving, "It's brittle and thin."

However, pure and transparent.When I was with Natsume, Mr. Cat always had heart palpitations from time to time, for fear that one day it would be late and Natsume would be eaten by monsters.But Shinto Hikari, when he looked at the light, he would only feel stable, as if everything had become nothing.It sounds like the other way around, but it really is.

Teacher Cat turned his head and saw the bulging backpack, "What's in it? So bulging?" He blinked hopefully, "Is it fried chicken?"

"It's the chessboard that Sato possessed!" Hikaru looked down at him with his nostrils, then turned his eyes away, and his voice lowered involuntarily, "It's Torji...it's Honinbo Shusaku's thing...I plan to donate it to Honinbo Miao Temple."

"Nonsense, why donate?" Unexpectedly, Teacher Cat snatched the chessboard from the backpack, eyes showing a golden "$" sign, "Why donate such a valuable chessboard! Why don't you give it to me... ...No, for Natsume."

There was a long silence.Light lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he finally smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll put it at Natsume's place. Keep it safe."

The author has something to say:

I am busy studying abroad recently, so the update speed will be slower^_^ But because this article is a gift for a friend, if there is no accident, I should not abandon it.

Maybe some friends think that even if the light is hit, he will not deliberately avoid Zuo Wei, but in fact this is the foreshadowing of the following plot.I hope you guys don’t mind, of course you are still welcome to make bricks ^_^
