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

Third time

Japanese chess academy.

"Have you heard? Shinto passed out after playing 'Hyakumonogatari' at the Obon festival!"

"Then tell me, is senior really possessed by a ghost..."

"It's hard to talk about such things—ah! Senior!"

Facing Shangguang's half-smiling gaze, Shoji and Gang fell silent.

"Shin...Shindo-senpai," Okajigo said, "You've recovered..."

"Who knows," Guang Guang said grimly, "Your 'Senior Shindo' might have died a long time ago."

Shoji and Oka looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

Guang tensed his face: "You don't believe what I said. One day I will eat you, don't say I didn't warn—" The back of the head was suddenly hit by a rolled-up cylindrical object, and there was an "ouch" Holding his head, "He Gu! What are you doing!"

Kazuya stood there with a face of reproach: "Shinto Hikaru, you are such a friend. None of us knew that you were discharged from the hospital today!"

"Why do you care so much about these little things... Hey!"

Kazuya gave Hikari another slap with the rolled-up newspaper.

"Small matter?! We were all scared to death by you at that time! We told you not to answer so many times, and the door was knocked open for no reason but no one came in! We were all scared to death, and you got pneumonia just like that! The Chess Academy scolded us to death Naise often cried and said it was all her fault! You didn’t tell us when you were discharged from the hospital, and you still said these are trivial things!”

Guang hurriedly raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry." His friends were all worried about him, and he should really say something out of emotion and reason.Of course, he didn't want to be read by He Gu either.At this time, he noticed the newspaper in He Gu's hand: "What is this?"

""Go Weekly", which publishes new chess players. What I am interested in is Qinglan (あおあらし), the disabled girl who won all the games."

"Disabled?" This is really the first time I've heard of it.

"Qing Lan can't speak, she's only 15 years old. She's pretty pitiful." He Gu looked both sympathetic and awed.

"It's not easy, and still won all the matches, this Qing Lan is very good!" Guang praised.

"Yeah, I heard Mr. Zama appointed her to participate in the new junior league."

"Mr. Zama," Guang recalled, "isn't he Ta Yaxin's opponent in the first stage of the league?" It seems that Qing Lan's strength is far beyond his imagination.

"There's nothing I can do about you, it's Taya Taya all day long. By the way, are you going to come to my house with Ikaku after playing chess today?"

"No, I'm going to Taya's go club, and I've already made an appointment with him."

As soon as Guang finished speaking, he covered his ears presciently.Sure enough, he heard Hegu's indignant complaint: "Why is it Taya again!"

Natsume, who was far away in Yayuan, was not so lucky.

Since the Obon Festival, Natsume has had a high fever from time to time, and her cough has become more and more serious, and she has been spending days in the hospital in Yahara.

His weak appearance made the monsters ready to move, and Mr. Cat had to be vigilant all the time.

"Really! It's impossible to sleep if this goes on!"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Teacher Cat..."

The boy was coughing on the hospital bed.Teacher Cat really wanted to kick this bloodless face flat.

"Get well soon, brat!"

"Go to Tokyo for treatment." The doctor said to the Fujiwara couple in embarrassment, "Natsume-kun's condition is beyond our ability."

Uncle Fujiwara frowned, and Aunt Toko also blushed.All this made Natsume sad.Letting Fujiwara and his wife worry about him already makes him feel very sorry, and let them accompany him to Tokyo...

"I'll accompany him to Tokyo." The next day, at Natsume's strong request, Mr. Cat turned into a mature male image, claiming to be Natsume's friend.It put on a calm look, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

After Uncle Fujiwara confirmed that the Shinkansen can go directly to Tokyo, he reluctantly agreed with them to set off by themselves.Aunt Toko helped Natsume pack her luggage.The couple exhorted anxiously.

Thank you... Natsume wanted to say this, but coughed again.

The cat teacher carried Natsume on his back to a place where the Fujiwara couple could not see, and then turned into Madara, letting Natsume lie half on his body with "Friends' Book" on his pillow.The teenager's cough became more severe.

"Stinky boy! Put all the coats on me!" it yelled irritably.

After confirming that the boy had put on enough clothes, the bright white and elegant monster spots flew slowly in the air, trying to keep the wind blowing as small as possible.

Along the way, monsters stared at it with disbelief.Spot's blue veins burst out.No need to ask, my current pose must be stupid.

"Master Madara, what's wrong with Natsume?" A monster approached.

"None of your business!" Madara said angrily.This uncle is not doing this for Natsume Takashi, but for the "Book of Friends" under his head! "Book of Friends"! !

This cat teacher... Natsume smiled indistinctly.

"Teacher," he asked weakly, "well, do you really know the way to Tokyo?"

"Of course I do!"

What followed was a long silence.Natsume was about to fall asleep when Madara said in a low voice, "I've been there."

The monster's voice was deep and distant, like a sigh.Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.However, the high fever made his brain unable to think.At this time, Natsume heard Madara's indistinct voice: "Well, the octopus balls over there are delicious."

"Hey, teacher, so you are willing to take me to Tokyo because of this." In the final analysis, it is for eating...

Madara arrogantly: "Hmph, you're a little clever."

Natsume didn't have the energy to speak anymore.He closed his eyes in relief.

Not long after, Madara stopped slowly on the outskirts of Tokyo.The warm breath passed over the white hair, bringing the turbid smell of the crowd, Madara frowned in disgust.

"Boy, we're here."

Natsume opened his eyes, and subconsciously reached out to touch the "Book of Friends" under his head.

"There are no monsters here," Madara said gloomily.

"Huh?!" Natsume was surprised.

"You are as idiot as your grandma." Madara said impatiently, shaking her white hair, "Boy, come down quickly. I don't know where the hospital is."

The boy got off Madara, turned his face, and saw—Tokyo.

After a long, long time, Natsume still remembered the scene at this time.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings, bustling voices, sky trees with changing colors, glass curtain walls that shade the lights of thousands of houses...the streams of light are intertwined into groups, with a strange and seductive magnificence.

Like the beginning of the universe explosion.Full of heat, but also lonely.

"Here, there are no monsters." Madara repeated meaningfully.

Natsume responded, and stopped talking, just clenched the "Book of Friends" in his hand.The old, bamboo-green Japanese paper texture, against the warm palm, feels rough and cold to the touch.

In the evening when the hands were over, Hikaru took up an umbrella and left the chess academy, intending to go to the Go club.

It rained so hard.Drops of water fell on the umbrella surface, converging into a stream winding down, and countless crystal flowers bloomed.

——Guang, why can people go to the moon, and the umbrella is still the same as before?

Everything in front of my eyes gradually blurred in the tears, and finally I couldn't see the moon-white ghost.While feeling sad, Guang saw a white figure in the rain curtain ahead.He stood not far away, looking around.

Guang regained his composure, and quickly wiped off the coldness on his face.

It was a boy in white with a travel bag on his back.He coughed lightly and stood in the middle of the road in the rain, looking as if he was lost.He is holding a group of beckoning cats that look like white pigs.How can there be such a cat in reality?

The ugly and fat lucky cat may have buffered some sadness.While staring at it, Guang quickly stepped forward, wanting to share an umbrella with this strange boy.

The boy in white was slightly shorter than Guang, he looked up gratefully at Guang.The short light blond hair was completely soaked, the delicate face was bloodless, and the brown eyes were foggy and blurred.

Suddenly, beside Guang, he fell down!
