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

Hikari never told Natsume that he had a strange dream.

In the dream there was an igloo made of ice, in which two shadowy figures built a fire to keep warm.Something like a white pig was crawling on the dome.He was standing outside in the snow and ice, his Nike shoes sunk deep into the snow.Not several inches.

"Zuo Wei, is that you...?" He asked cautiously, breathing out a breath of cold air.

no answer.Guang walked around to the door of the igloo, poked his head over, and almost bit his tongue.The person in the igloo turned out to be Natsume!And that white pig-like thing, who is the teacher cat?

Natsume was clumsily dropping the go game onto the board, making a voiceless sound of slap, slap.The figure of the person playing chess with him was unexpectedly familiar.Long purple hair, ancient hunting clothes, but the face is as blurred as a light smoke.Who is that?

"Natsume! Natsume!" Hikaru happily called Natsume's name, but he didn't turn his head.Instead, Teacher Cat slipped down from the dome of the igloo.But it didn't seem to find the light, but it kept meowing into the distance.

Guang followed the cat teacher's eyes and looked over.Several figures came from the courtyard, all of whom seemed to be about the same age as me.But none of them stayed in front of the light, they all put their faces in the igloo.Natsume looked up to see them, smiled and waved at them.

"Beimoto, Nishimura, Tanuma!" Natsume said happily, "There are more tracks!"

—Who are these?

Hikaru looked blankly at Natsume, then at this group of people, and suddenly felt lonely.The chessboard in the igloo is dotted with stars. On a certain page of "Friends' Book", there are four familiar words written on it.

After seeing the name clearly, Guang suddenly felt unreasonable.While laughing at himself, Hikari woke up.There were traces of tears all over the pillow.He understood why he felt cold in the dream.At this moment the windows were wide open, and the snow-white curtains rattled.

Natsume and Zuowei appeared in the same dream, but they didn't know what it meant, and of course they didn't bother to think about it.It's just that the day when Natsume and Mr. Cat will leave is approaching day by day, and there is a certain degree of entanglement in the light.The experience of losing Zuowei is unforgettable. Now that he has done everything well, why does he still feel powerless?

"Is Natsume-kun leaving tomorrow?" His mother asked Guang the night before Natsume left.Light said "um" while eating ramen.

"Here are some wagashi from Tokyo, you can bring some to him tomorrow, and that big fat cat." Dad pushed a package of things in front of Hikari.

"I don't want it. I'm not Obasan." Guang said with disgust.

Dad looked at Guang's awkward expression and felt amused.When Akira Fujisaki left, he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he took whatever he was told to take, but he became shy when facing the big boy Natsume.

"Xiaoguang, Natsume-kun is a good boy, you don't want to send him off, do you?"

"Of course I'm going to see him off." After just saying that, he dropped his chopsticks and returned to the room.

Dreamed about the igloo again that night.Just seeing a large group of people who couldn't see themselves surrounded Natsume and Mr. Kitty, as well as Saoi and "Book of Friends" inside, I felt an unknown feeling in my heart.He knew it was another world.In the world of Natsume's Book of Friends, there is no Shinto Hikari.

Just like that, I overslept.The next morning, he pointed at the wall clock at 09:30 and yelled tremblingly, which shocked both parents and mothers.

"Natsume is on the nine o'clock train!! What should I do? I didn't leave his contact information!! There is also Sakai's chessboard!!!"

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

Teacher Cat was woken up by the hard corner of the chessboard.Natsume insisted on taking the train back, so Mr. Cat had to shrink his fat body into a ball and put it in his travel bag.There is also Xiu Ce's chessboard in the light attic in the travel bag.

The train wobbled.Teacher Cat simply grabbed the two feet of the chessboard with his paws and twisted his body.Even if you don't open your eyes to look at it, you can still feel the strange aura of this chessboard.

"The monsters... get away!" Teacher Cat grunted softly, resting his head on the chessboard nonchalantly.

Then he heard faint voices. Words such as "Senior Sister", "School", "Light", "Go", "I must have overslept" floated into my ears, as well as the voice of a girl.Teacher Cat lost all sleepiness immediately, and opened the travel bag a slit, revealing one eye.

Eh?Isn't the person in front of you the girl you met at the gate of Guang's house that day?Why did she come to talk to Natsume?

Of course Natsume didn't know that Mr. Kitty was rolling restlessly in his travel bag.No matter how much he waited, he couldn't wait for the light, so he had to get into the car first.The train started, and Natsume held on to the paper pinwheel and sighed while looking at the flowing scenery outside the window.

Shinto-kun, do you know?

How much I want to see you.

"Excuse me...can I help you?"

A female voice sounded from behind.It turned out to be that Fujisaki-senpai who had a relationship with Hikaru when they were traveling together.Natsume helped her lift the suitcase to the upper shelf.

"Thank you." Fujisaki-senpai said to him, brushing away her long wine-red hair, her bright eyes locked on Natsume, "That...are you Hikari's friend?"

It's the same problem as Natori again.Natsume felt himself turned into an upside-down hourglass.The golden quicksand leaked down bit by bit, shining shimmeringly.Eventually, the entire chest cavity is filled.

"...he is my most longed-for friend."

Natsume heard himself answer like this.

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

When Natsume and Akira Fujisaki were talking, Hikari was being interviewed by the media in the chess academy, and his eyes looked out of the window from time to time.Naturally, Liang didn't ignore his strangeness, but he didn't say much, and went to the match room to review the game.

"I dare say that the reporter didn't understand what you were asking." After the interview, Liang Ban jokingly said to Guang.

"Never mind him." Bare buttocks fell into the chair, opening and closing the folding fan intermittently, "Anyway, the central meaning is nothing more than 'why did you lose' or something like that."

Liang raised his head to take a look, then lowered his head again. "he's gone?"

"You mean Natsume?" Hikaru closed the fan with a snap, half annoyed and half thankful, "He will be fine with Mr. Kitty by his side. Seeing off is really not for me."

"At this time, you are worried."

"what are you saying."

"You have not cared about Natsume-kun in the past few months." Ryo paused hesitantly, his eyes wandered away, and he took a sip of green tea, "I never knew you were such a careful person."

"Ha, that depends on who it is for. Didn't I care about you before?"

"Caring about me? When?"

"On that day, I asked you if you wanted to eat at noon, but you didn't move at all!"

Liang remembered: "You mean the day we played against each other for the first time?"

"Yeah, you still said—"

At this moment, the sound of light stopped abruptly.What Liang said that day, both of them vividly remembered.Guang awkwardly opened and closed the folding fan in his hand.The chess game that lost twelve and a half eyes is impressively ahead.There was an inexplicable feeling in Guang's heart.The arrival of Natsume changed everything.If Zuowei's departure caused half of the world of light to collapse, then the departure of Natsume and Mr. Cat opened a hole, and something leaked into the boundless darkness like incense sticks and fireworks.

"Autumn is here." Liang looked out the window at the sycamore leaves swirling down.

Just imagining Natsume sleeping wrapped in a fluffy mottled body, he fluttered.Ryo had long been used to the laughter that Hikari would make out of thin air from time to time since he met Natsume, and ignored him.The yellowed leaves outside the window are scattered on the road.

"By the way, Mr. Ogata asked me to ask you, can you spare time on Thursday night?"

"Night?" Guang thought for a while, he and Liang spent the night in the chess club, and there was nothing wrong, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Ogata wants you to instruct Ms. Yuriko Go. The salary will be discussed at that time."

"Huh?!" Hikaru was surprised, "Ogata and you are both grandmasters, why don't you go?"

"Because we know her. It's always not good to be taught by someone I know, not to mention that I have to prepare for the finals at Honinbo. You should also learn how to guide others."

"But... girls!" Guang frowned.Girls are annoying creatures in his mind.

Bright face expressionless: "Is there any problem?"

"Okay no problem. I'll just go."
