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

6th

"Natsume-kun! Someone is calling for you!" The nurse knocked on the door and said.

Natsume rushed to the front desk and took the microphone from the head nurse.

"Hello? Is this Kishi?"

"Cough, Uncle Fujiwara!" Natsume was very pleasantly surprised.

"Takashi, are you feeling better now? I heard that Shinto Hikari saved you, right?"

"Yes. Cough, Shindo-kun is a very good person, he always comes to visit me. Cough cough, don't worry."

"Is it the real Hikaru Shinto? That young genius chess player on the sports channel?"

"Yes." Hey, Uncle Fujiwara, your tone is very strange.

"Takashi! Remember to get his autograph for me! Also, ask him who Sai is! People on the Internet are guessing that Hikari Shinto is his disciple!"

"Cough, okay." Sai, Natsume heard Uncle Fujiwara mention it a few times before. Sai seems to be an online chess god who has never lost, and is famous for his ancient style of chess.Is Shindo-kun actually Sai's disciple?

"And Kishi, what do you plan to do with your studies this semester? Do you want me to tell the teacher to suspend school?"

"Cough, leave school?" Natsume thought for a while, "It's better not to. Cough, I will buy textbooks in Tokyo and study by myself."

If he suspends his studies, Uncle Fujiwara and Aunt Toko will have to pay for an extra year of tuition for him. He is not willing to do this...

"Okay then. Don't tire yourself too much. Tazi and I will call you every day!"

"Buy books for self-study?" Guang frowned, "But middle school courses are very difficult, you can't complete your studies by self-study, and your body is still like this..."

"Cough, no way." Natsume lowered his head.Do you really want to leave school?No……

"Chronic pneumonia is a long process... How about listening to the school in Tokyo first?" Guang thought for a while and suggested, "I will go to Haze Middle School for you. That is my junior high school, and I and there The teacher is more familiar."

"Cough, that's really troublesome for you." Natsume said apologetically.

I have to trouble others again... But no matter what, having a teacher to teach will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.But, how should he repay Shinto-kun in the future?

"It's okay, it's okay! Natsume, don't be too polite!" Hikaru said embarrassedly.

At this time, the cat teacher in the travel bag crawled out maliciously.It stared at the light, a strange provocation flashed in its bulb-like eyes.

--Danger!

Sure enough, before Natsume could grab it, it "meowed" and hit Hikari's chest impartially.

"Teacher, ahem, please don't bully others..." Natsume said helplessly.

"Damn it! The tiger doesn't show its power and treats me as hello Kitty!" Guang was angry, and squeezed its round face vigorously.

Natsume was speechless for a moment.Mr. Kitty always likes to bully Shinto-kun, I don't know what kind of bad intentions it is.Shinto-kun is also true, always going crazy with it.Right now, he is rubbing Teacher Mao's face with great joy, his expression is so naughty... like a child who hasn't grown up.

However, likeness is just likeness after all.

Light sometimes gives Natsume a very strange feeling.He is different from his peers at school.But where it is, Natsume can't tell the specifics.There seemed to be some pain in his heart.His folding fan, which never left his body, seemed to be the proof of that kind of pain.

However, this kind of pain has been fermented by time, and it has become the current strength, talent and calmness.

—Is it related to sai...?

The words just came out like this: "Shinto-kun, cough, I have a question. Your teacher, is he Sai?"

"!!"

In a word, Natsume asked innocently, but just listening to it was no less than the sound of thunder.Guang's whole body froze, and his eyes were astonished.Teacher Cat escaped from his grasp, jumped to the bedside table and ate the bento brought by Guang.

Guang knows that the whole chess world is guessing that he is Sai's disciple.Although this is the truth, it was silenced because of Hikari and Toyayukihiro's tight-lipped. The relationship between sai and light has thus become a mystery.Since Sai hadn't appeared for many years, Hikari Shindo was in the limelight, so no one mentioned it gradually.

At this time, he was suddenly brought up by a strange boy whom he had only known for a few days.

Seeing Hikari's shocked and sad expression, Natsume was at a loss, but had a premonition in his heart.He hesitated, pulled his bare sleeves, and said softly, "...I'm sorry."

After staring at Natsume for a while, he slowly lowered his head.This was originally a secret, but I felt that if the object was Natsume, it would be okay to say more.

"How do you know Sai, Natsume?" He doesn't know how to go...

"Cough, Uncle Fujiwara likes to watch Sai's chess games online. Cough cough, I heard that Sai only appears online." Natsume said cautiously.

Guang nodded, clenched his folding fan tightly, with a sad warmth in his eyes: "He is a real person."

"Real existence?" Natsume murmured and repeated.This scene... seems familiar.He remembered that when Mr. Zhang Shi talked about Ms. Ying, he also had such a determined and sad tone... The young man sensitively detected a certain possibility from Guang's expression.

"...Sai... is he gone?"

Guang felt a buzzing sound in his head, suddenly a vast expanse of whiteness.He didn't know how the indifferent and quiet young man in front of him would tell the truth again and again, and he only felt a burst of fine and dense pain.

Unlike the hesitation and fear when facing Liang, the pain that Natsume inadvertently told the truth brought to him was silent, full of loneliness and serenity.

Light nodded with difficulty.The moment he turned his face away, Natsume saw tears in the corner of his eyes.

He is such a cheerful and lively young man, enthusiastic and loves to laugh, like a bright sun.But his eyes now... are so sad and empty.Like a snow that fell thousands of years ago, the pale breath approached.

"Don't tell others." Hikaru said with a sob, Natsume felt a twitch in his heart.He nodded quickly, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only remain silent.

For a moment.

In the space, there are only deliberately suppressed, coughing sounds, and the sound of Mr. Cat eating.

Until Hikari left, Natsume was still unable to recover from self-blame.

"...I didn't mean it, ahem, I didn't mean to mention..."

"I know, don't say it." Teacher Cat interrupted him, lazily entrenched in "Friends Book".

<<

The conversation about sai seems to have passed without a trace, and there seems to be no gap between the two.Light still visits the sick from time to time, bringing lunch to Natsume.Teacher Cat is still crazily snatching food, choking with Guang.The two also chatted around family, chess and campus.Most of the time Hikari was talking, and Natsume listened quietly.

One is lively and the other is quiet, like true friends, getting closer day by day.

But Natsume knew he couldn't reach Light's heart.The only time was the tears in the corners of his eyes when he turned his face away.

And Hikaru's eyes sometimes stay on the "Book of Friends" next to his pillow.

At some point, the conversation would break down.Because it involves their own secrets, they cannot continue.At that time, the room was quiet, except for the sound of coughing.

Once, Natsume coughed badly, and Hikaru hurriedly poured a glass of water, only to find that the water was cold.Only when I ran to the nurse's desk did I ask for a cup of hot water.Because of running in a hurry, a lot of hot water was spilled along the way, and there was not much left when it was handed to Natsume's lips.Only then did he realize how careless he was.

"Shinto-kun, cough, you don't need to take care of me like this." Natsume always said that.

"It's just that I can't leave you alone." Guang always replied like this.

Zuo Wei used his own departure to make Guang understand loss and cherish.And Natsume Reiko knew how to take care of a person wholeheartedly.There is always a certain time in life, and a certain person comes to me and teaches me something.

Teacher Cat leisurely licked the bento on his paws.If Natsume paid a little attention, he would find that the eyes of Lucky Cat, which had always been cynical, shone with prudence and sharpness.
