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

Times

The noise of the autumn night banquet gradually faded away.Natsume ran into the bamboo forest, the backpack containing "Book of Friends" beating rhythmically on his spine.In the bamboo forest, there is a bluestone slab that winds upwards and has no end in sight.

The stone steps seem to have been around for a certain period of time, and when stepping on them, there will be a slight cracking sound.

Mr. Zoe, is he on the steps?Xia Mu looked around, seeing green Xiao Xiaoxiu bamboo everywhere.He didn't have time to think about it, so he went up the stairs.

He soon met Sakai Fujiwara.Among the dead and rotten bamboo leaves flying all over the sky, Fujiwara Sawei sat upright beside the tree stump on the steps, with a high crown and a long belt, and his long purple hair flowed down the stone steps behind him, like a waterfall of wisteria blooming alone in this desolate secluded grove, grand and magnificent. poignant.

In his left hand he held a very short and thin piece of pruning bamboo, and in his right hand he held a piece of rough sharp stone.He took the sharp end in his hand and chiseled the bamboo bit by bit, very patiently.

"Mr. Zuowei!" Xia Mu hurriedly called out, "What are you doing?"

"You're here? Guizhi." Zuowei raised his eyes and smiled.

As Hikari said, Zuowei's eyes were a deep purple-blue.When Natsume saw him in person for the first time, it was like the dark sky before sunrise.However, reflecting the red light of the autumn night banquet, at first glance, it makes people feel the indescribable loneliness inside.

Natsume was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it because Mr. Cat suddenly became Shinto-kun, which made you unhappy?"

Zuo Wei shook his head, with a smile still on the corner of his lips: "How could it be?"

"Ms. Kitty lived in Shinto-kun's house for a while, and sometimes it would turn into familiar people and go around, not only Shinto-kun, but most of them were my grandmother Reiko, and of course me... It even pretended to be me once Going to school! Offended my teachers and friends, I'm so angry—"

Natsume couldn't forget that he was locked in a bottle, watching Mr. Cat pretending to be Natsume and showing off his might.Angrily, he slammed on the wall of the glass bottle.

"Takashi." Zuowei interrupted the helpless Natsume who was trying to explain, and he said with a smile, "I don't mind. I was very surprised. It turns out that the current light is like this. It is taller than when I left. Looks nicer."

Natsume looked at Zuowei, at this moment he lowered his head again, chiseling the bamboo in his hand patiently.When he mentioned light just now, what was in those purple-blue eyes?Is it love?Extreme miss?Or is it the longing to reunite with him?

"Then do you want to meet the real Shinto-kun?" Natsume asked softly, "You are no longer a ghost...you are a human being. You can meet him and play chess face to face with him."

Natsume has witnessed countless human beings bonded with gods, ghosts, and monsters.Such as Lushen and Grandma Hanako, Copper and Asparagus, Mr. Zhang Shi and Miss Ying, Whistle and Miss Yoko.But not one of them did not end in tragedy.Lushen disappeared, Hanako passed away; Tong died tragically, and Qian Cong lived alone; Yoko left only a letter with one sentence; Ms. Ying, who loved Zhang Shi for half her life, was disillusioned and turned into a sky full of fluorescent lights.

Natsume hoped that they would meet again, not only because of the care Hikari had taken for him in the past two months, but also because Shinto Hikari and Fujiwara Sakai were the only exceptions that Natsume had ever seen.

"Do you want to meet the real Shinto-kun?" Natsume asked again.His voice trembled uncontrollably.

"I think." Zuo Wei answered without hesitation, but at the same time shook his head slightly, "But I can't just leave without knowing why, and leave Qian Cong and you here."

There was no way he could just leave like this.

"We were meant to stay here forever," Natsume said, "but you weren't. You never were, sai."

Natsume only hoped that Zuo Wei and Guang would be together, playing chess carefree in their pure land.

But Zuowei said, "Really? Kishi. When I played chess with your body, I was attacked by monsters."

Natsume narrowed his eyes: "What did you say?"

"At that time, I was protected by Mr. Cat. I know about your grandmother's "Book of Friends", the reason why you are constantly being chased by monsters, and why there are no monsters in Tokyo. Kishi... I played chess with Hikari wholeheartedly. When you are here, you are enduring loneliness, being called a "liar" by people, and being chased and hurt by monsters."

"That's not bad." Natsume said bluntly, seeing the pity in Zuowei's eyes, he shook his head in resistance, "Shindo-kun said that he is very grateful. I can't compare with him. I can't say I am grateful for the monsters in "Book of Friends". But I can't deny that I got something else from them that is very precious. Sometimes, I close my eyes and pretend that "Book of Friends" is gone, and I can never see it again I lost them, but I found out that I was actually sad. But fortunately, it was pretending. When I opened my eyes, I found that the monsters were still lying on the window. Fortunately, I can still see. Just a little bit of happiness. Simple.

"But Shinto-kun is different. He never pretended that you were gone, he thought you would be by his side for the rest of his life. When he opened his eyes, you were gone - I can only imagine his pain. Really, I won’t lie to you, even just thinking about it makes me feel cold all over.”

Zuo Wei listened to Natsume's words steadfastly, a piece of bamboo pipe in his hand rolled aside at some point.He raised his hand and slowly covered his eyes.Natsume could feel the tide gushing out of those beautiful eyes, like mist in a thousand mountains.

"A lot of times, Shindo-kun and I talk face to face in the ward. I know you, and he also knows "Book of Friends", but we can't say anything extra. Teacher Cat said that we are like two people who have been shot through the head A fool with a hole, the wounds are all the same, but you have to cover your own."

Zuo Wei couldn't help but smile, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the bamboo tube that fell on the stone steps: "Guizhi, even if I want to go back to Guang, let me do something for Qiancong first, and you .After all, it was you two who brought me back."

By the moonlight, Natsume saw clearly the bamboo pipe in Zuowei's hand, and was suddenly surprised: "This is... the bamboo flute you made?"

"It was Yuliko who gave me the inspiration." Zuo Wei only said, "I also remembered that when your soul left your body, it was also Asacon who woke you up with the sound of the piano."

Natsume thought of the home in his dream, and nodded silently when he heard the melodious sound of the piano under the loquat tree.

At this moment, he heard a faint voice calling, as if the wind was blowing over Lin Shao: ""Book of Friends"..."Book of Friends"...!"

Natsume was stunned, as if he had fallen into the darkest deep sea, and the familiar fear soaked into the marrow of his bones.But Zuowei didn't seem to notice anything, he just asked, "Guizhi, where did your soul go when it left your body?"

Natsume was glad that he didn't cry out in fear.Without thinking too much, he grabbed Zuo Wei's wrist and pulled him down the steps.When I lowered my head, I saw Mr. Cat bouncing up the stairs.

"Mr. Cat, let's go back." Natsume said.

"What happened?" Mr. Cat narrowed his eyes alertly.

Zuowei just came back as a human, and Natsume couldn't let him get hurt in the slightest.

Teacher Cat is not stupid.It slowly circled behind the two of them, its fat body struggling to get down the stone steps.Natsume felt hard for him, wondering if it would be easier to roll it directly.

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

After returning home, Zuo Wei played the familiar melody on the bamboo flute on the edge of the shallow onion.Natsume recognized that it was Asakame's favorite song.The sound of the flute is clear and clear, Zuo Wei said, it is called "Qinghai Wave", which is the most famous tune in the Heian period.

Natsume and Mr. Cat fell asleep to the sound of the flute.Natsume's sleep has always been very light, and he will notice the slightest disturbance.He heard the creepy voice again: ""Book of Friends"...Give me..."Book of Friends..."

But the scene in front of me was indescribably beautiful in words.

The curtains were blown by the wind, and the moonlight dyed the whole room with a faint brilliance like cracked ice.Zuo Wei's hand was still attached to the bamboo flute, but as if extremely tired, he leaned sideways on the edge of the light green onion.Zuowei seemed to be sleeping very restlessly, his brows were furrowed like a child's, which made Natsume want to calm down.The hair tied under the high crown was a little loose, and the water purple hair and the water blue long hair flowed on the floor, like the morning glow reflected on the lake in the morning.Even when the wind blows, there will be a beautiful arc.

Natsume got up, lifted his quilt, and draped it over Zuowei's body.He was silent for no reason.It's good to be quietly with the light like this.

I will definitely let you meet again.Will.
