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

No.30 eight times

After two days of busy work, "Jin Teng Chess Book" is finally completed.

After eating, Natsume sat at the desk in the room, and put the completed "Shinto Chess Book" next to the computer.

There is a small gift box in the drawer of the desk. It was a birthday gift box given to him by a girl before, and now he uses it to store the pregnant paper that Mr. Zuo Wei wrote to him.Zuowei's calligraphy is beautiful and elegant, which is the unique elegance of the Heian period.

Sometimes it's just a few words, sometimes it's a long letter.All written in Chinese characters.Natsume was not used to reading and writing Chinese characters, so he collected them and planned to reply one by one when he had time.

Natsume turned on the computer and said to the chessboard, "Mr. Zuowei, I'm ready. Do you want to play chess?"

In the past, whenever Natsume called like this, Mr. Zuowei would always wake up from the blood on the chessboard quickly.A dazzling white light flashes, and Natsume will arrive at his dream home and meet his parents.

But today, for some reason, Mr. Zuowei did not come.Natsume felt strange, and Mr. Kitty didn't know where he went.

Bored, he picked up the letterhead in the gift box, read it while waiting for Zuowei.

——"Takashi, your friends and cat teacher are so cute!"

Cute... Teacher Kitty is also called cute?Natsume wanted to laugh.

——"Takashi, I heard from Mr. Kitty that when you were hospitalized in Tokyo, Hikari took care of you all the time. It's great, he has become able to take care of people!"

yes.Although Shinto-kun looks carefree, he is actually a gentler person than anyone else.

——"Takashi, you and Hikari are good friends, right? Right? Right? Did he mention me?"

Shinto, he hasn't stopped thinking about you, Saoi-san for a moment.

——"Guang Yuli taught Yuli so well. I'm so happy!"

Of course.Shinto-kun also tried to teach himself.

——"In the Heian period, I heard about the magnificence of the Hyakki Night Parade. I never saw it with my own eyes when I was alive. I saw Zashiki Doji in Innoshima. I didn't expect to know so many monsters in Yahara. They're all so much fun!"

Interesting...but they have caused themselves untold troubles.In the eyes of Mr. Zuo Wei, are these grotesque monsters actually interesting?

——"Gizhi, what are you doing when I am occupying your body? Am I being too selfish? When I am not using your body, why is your soul still refusing to come back?"

Natsume was taken aback.

This note was probably left yesterday, and the ink is still wet.He didn't see it, and because he was too tired, he received it in the box.

Where did my soul go at that time, Natsume didn't mention it to anyone, not even Mr. Cat.Tanuma said that he picked the loquat leaves under the pillow for Natsume's cough, and Asagi also testified.But Natsume clearly remembered that it was put in his palm by his mother in a dream.

——That is, the only real proof of those reunions.

The aroma of loquat leaves is not fake.A mother's smile is not fake.The father's big hands are not fake.The little people painted on the floor are not fake.The white shirts fluttering in the yard are not fake.

Natsume remembered the feeling of her mother's hair brushing against his cheek as she hugged him.So tender, so clear.

How could it be just a dream?

In order to ensure that the dream is real, Natsume also took the knife from the dream home and carved the words "I want to be with you forever" on the floor.When he came the next day, he saw this sentence again, and immediately burst into tears.

Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies.Which side is a dream and which side is reality?Natsume knows the boundary between dream and reality better than anyone else, but he doesn't want to admit it.

He wanted to stay in the dream, not wake up.Lending my own body to play chess for Mr. Zuowei is a high-sounding reason, and Natsume can often reunite with his family.

Natsume took a pen and paper, and wrote down a sentence lightly:

"Mr. Zuowei, if you wish, I can lend you my body indefinitely."

After finishing writing, he regretted it—he took "A Book of Friends" with him, and if Zuo used his body, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?Whether this is Mr. Zuo Wei's selfishness, or his own selfishness, it is impossible to tell at all.

"You really want to do this!!!"

Teacher Kitty's voice exploded behind Natsume like thunder, scaring Natsume a lot.Natsume jumped up: "Mr. Cat! What are you doing?"

Teacher Cat was biting a watermelon behind him, watching him coldly.

"You really want to give your body to Zuowei! Let me tell you, there is a limit to helping others!!"

"I..." Natsume was tongue-tied and couldn't speak clearly now.

"You don't owe Zuo Wei at all, and you don't owe the yellow-haired boy anything, why would you sacrifice your life to help them?!" Teacher Cat yelled angrily.

"no……"

"If you just give your body to someone else, then "Book of Friends" will belong to me!!"

"I...wait!" Natsume suddenly thought of something while talking, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat, "Mr. Cat, you must have said this to Mr. Zuowei, right?"

"Of course, if you don't say it, do you really want to lend your body to him for the rest of your life?!"

"Teacher Cat—!" No wonder Mr. Zuo Wei refused to come today, it was because Mr. Cat said this!

Teacher Cat looked at him, and suddenly said, "Fujiwara Sakai, I don't want to come back at all."

"What?" Natsume was surprised.

"Zuowei, he never played a game of chess with your body."

Teacher Cat looked at Natsume, and what appeared in his eyes was the familiar coldness and sarcasm that Natsume was familiar with.

"The traces of his appearance in the chess world are just talking to Yuriko and playing instructions. Other than that, there is nothing else."

Natsume's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"

Teacher Cat lowered her head and spit out a melon seed: "That's it."

Natsume couldn't believe it.He spent so much effort and entrusted so many people and monsters, but it was nothing more than reuniting Guangneng and Zuowei.But Zuo Wei didn't want to come back?

Shinto-kun, and Mr. Zuowei, the two of them never let go at all, didn't they?

"Don't..." Natsume suddenly felt terrified. He didn't know whether he was afraid that Zuowei didn't want to come back, or he was afraid that he would never see his family again.

"Mr. Zuowei, I helped you find Shinto-kun's game records. Please tell me what you really think."

A blinding white light flashed.When Natsume opened his eyes, he found himself lying under the loquat tree in the yard again.

Natsume's mother was watching him not far away.Natsume's father was wearing gloves, and was trimming the branches and leaves of the loquat tree on the terrace.

The boy stood up and patted the leaves on his clothes.A sense of emptiness and bewilderment hit him.Natsume smiled at her mother, reluctantly.

He picked up the chalk that he left on the ground not long ago, and added a line of words under the words "I want to be with you forever": "Shinto-kun, Sai is back, do you know?"

Hikari Shinto, the me in my heart, you know?
