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

[-]th

Supermarket.

Seeing that most of the money in the purse was gone, Guang, who was carrying the sake, wanted to cry but had no tears.Ever since I met Natsume, he seemed to be doing weird and stupid things.If Taya knew about it, he would definitely raise his eyebrows and call him an idiot.

"Shinto! You actually bought wine?!"

Just a shock.It can't be so evil, just think of him, and someone else appears?

The truth is that evil.Ta Yaliang was standing there, with dark green short hair, beige casual clothes, holding a few packets of salt in his hand.This home outfit immediately made Guangle half dead, and he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"You are not allowed to buy alcohol." Liang Liang said with a straight face, his tone was so blunt that he could smash the floor out, "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

This guy is not easy to mess with when he is stubborn.Guang quickly tensed up: "This is for my dad."

Liang raised his eyebrows in doubt.That look is exactly the same as that of Guang Brain.Guang was happy again, took out his phone and took a slap at his fateful opponent.

"What are you doing?" Liang noticed and frowned.

"Other chess players must have never seen a nobleman in the chess world pay with a few bags of salt." Guang Huai smiled and added, "Just like a housewife."

Ryo looked like he wanted to sprinkle some salt on his light golden bangs.

<<

It is already ten o'clock at night.Liang and Guang walked out of the supermarket one after the other, the streets were sparsely populated.The figures of the two were dragged long by the dim streetlights.Vehicles passed by from time to time, and the outline of the boy was illuminated by the streetlight for a moment, and then sunken again.

At night when the cicadas are no longer noisy, the surroundings are quiet and only the sound of cherry blossoms falling can be heard.

Guang and Liang are used to quarreling, and for a while they are not used to Liang who is silent.Guang looked at Liang who was walking ahead, and suddenly realized that he had never observed his back carefully.

Straight and straight, lonely and quiet, with a sharp beauty, hidden in the dark, like a gun.

Liang and Natsume have a similar feeling to the light, and they are quiet and quiet most of the time.Natsume is really quiet, the still water flows deep, calm and clear.No matter how bizarre the story fell on him, for some reason, it would bring a sense of relief.Like the snowflakes in the early morning and the breeze in the bamboo forest, you get a kind of quiet protection.

Ta Yaliang is also quiet, but most of his quietness is due to his undivided attention to chess skills and his indifference to the outside world.He seems very modest but very proud, he is not rigid but also penny-pinching.It's a subtle contradiction, yet strangely fused in one person.Even when smiling gently at elders or reporters, his eyes are still bright.He is an existence that people dare not take lightly at any time.

When Taya is quiet, he is a resting lion and a gun in a box.

"Shinto."

Liang who was walking in front suddenly turned his head, startling him.Liang's behavior is always without warning, and too many turning points are triggered in silence.When Guang saw the bright green eyes, they were instantly illuminated by the car lights, like stars.

"This." Ryo pointed to the sake box that Guang carried on his shoulder, "Let me help you get some."

So, half of the sake bottle went into the plastic bag Ryo used to hold the salt packets.The two of them walked slowly as if they were taking a walk.

"You came to the supermarket so late."

"I was a little hungry just now, and I found out that there was no salt when I was cooking."

"Cooking now? You guys don't eat well!"

"..." Liang was dumbfounded in front of Guang for the first time.He really couldn't refute Guang's accusation.

"From now on, no matter it's noon or night, eat with me." Guang said almost commandingly.

Liang subconsciously wanted to deny it.This is too unrealistic, and their hands may not necessarily be on the same day.However, seeing Guang's rare concern, he couldn't bear to quarrel with him.There was a slight itching in my heart, like a sieve rubbing the quicksand in the blue sea on a sunny day, and the golden light shimmered and swayed.

"Taya, I have a question for you."

"how?"

"If a cat suddenly leaves its owner, why?"

"..." Brightened his face with the expression of "If you have time to think about this, why not play more games of chess".

"Hey! Answer me seriously!"

So Liang pretended to think about it seriously.

He said: "There is no reason. When you leave, you leave."

"Huh?" Guang stared at him.

"Cats are fickle animals. They don't feel comfortable staying with their owners, so they leave."

This answer sounds so perfunctory... I feel comfortable with Teacher Cat.But the smell of disinfectant in the hospital is really bad, and it is impossible for rats and fish to eat...

"Uh." Guang realized that he had gone offline, "According to you, the reason why a cat stays with the same owner for a long time is because it feels comfortable there?"

"You could say the same."

"So, if a cat stays with the same owner for a long time, and never leaves it, and one day suddenly leaves, why is that?"

"...What do you want to ask these boring questions?"

"Answer me seriously!"

Liang squinted those beautiful red phoenix eyes, with sharp rays of light faintly flowing.From this, Hikari realized that Ryo was indeed thinking.When he played chess with himself, he would show this expression.

Finally, he spoke slowly, with a strangely cruel voice: "Maybe it's because the cat feels that the owner no longer needs it. It's no longer useful to stay on its own, but instead, it becomes an obstacle."

Light was startled.It was as if a bottle in the deep sea had shattered silently in his chest, and the debris on the edge was stuck on the wall of his heart, while the large pieces were floating quickly in the sea of ​​memory, piercing some pictures that he had been neglecting all along.He seemed to hear the sound of "cha, cha", like a falling mirror, the people and voices in his memory were suddenly torn apart.

——"After seeing this game between you and Hong Xiuying, I believe that this is your true chess strength!"

——"One day, I will erase Zuowei from everyone's heart!"

——"If you play here, Zuowei, you will lose!"

……

"I'm just talking." Liang's voice seemed to come from far away, "A cat, how can it think so much."

Guang smiled to cover up, reluctantly.

It was too late and then quickly, and suddenly a cat flashed in front of him.It was a petite civet cat with blue hair.A very beautiful blue color, like the new leaves of Asagao's vines.

"Taya, look!" Hikaru shouted, pointing forward, "The blue tanuki!"

The raccoon cat stopped in its tracks, and its black glass-like pupils reflected the figure of light, as if a little surprised.

"What kind of civet cat?" Liang was at a loss, "I can't see anything."

"Right there—huh?"

The cyan civet cat blinked, jumped and disappeared into the night.

Hikaru stared blankly at the spot where the civet cat stayed just now.Impossible to be fake.He clearly caught it.That ray of bright and clear cyan color blooms fleetingly in the night, like a cluster of sunflowers soaked in dew.

<<

Natsume returns to Tokyo Hospital.The white curtains in the ward are ethereal, and there is nothing but a few plum blossom footprints left by Mr. Cat.

Along the way, he searched all the places where Mr. Cat might stay, but there was still nothing.Flowers by the platform, street food stalls, shops selling octopus balls, shrines surrounded by ropes...

Natsume fell on the bed tiredly.Helplessness flooded his thoughts like raging waves.

"Teacher... where are you..."

As if in response, "Book of Friends" was flipped by the wind.Ink's name fluctuated in the wind, fluttering and bending from time to time, like pieces of fragile dead leaves.

How long has he not touched the name of "Book of Friends"?The monsters in the town...he missed them.

A cyan light interrupted Natsume's wild thoughts, and a civet cat crawled in from the window.In the next second, the civet cat turned into a petite girl in Tsing Yi.

"I found Madara-sama." She wrote word for word, "It's at Shinto-kun's house."

"Shinto-kun?" Natsume repeated incredulously, "Why..."

"I just discovered it too." Qing Lan lowered her head and wrote, "Jin Teng-kun, he can see me transformed into a civet cat demon.

"He 'sees'—just like you, Natsume-kun."

<<

Kwang and Ryo part ways at the subway station.Guang was annoyed to see Liang's playful and worried expression of "Are you crazy", and automatically turned on the primary school student's possession mode: "Put away that look of yours and go home!"

"Of course I will go home. Remember not to be late for tomorrow's awarding ceremony!"

"Okay, okay! How many times have you nagged!"

"Why am I nagging? This is only the second time!"

"the third time!"

"the second time!"

"three!"

"two!"

……

After a quarrel at the level of elementary school students, Hikari finally returned home with a case of sake.Dad was satisfied with the acceptance, waved his hand casually, and locked the sake in the safe in front of the light.

Guang Guang's eyelids twitched: "As for it, I'm your son!"

The father ignored his runaway son at all, and walked into the bathroom humming a little tune.Guang stared at the safe that "destroyed the relationship between him and his father", and felt a little rejoicing: at least Mr. Cat would no longer be able to steal his family's wine.Guang wondered if he should lock the food in the refrigerator into the safe next time.

When the door was opened again, Mr. Cat actually fell asleep on the chessboard, snoring funny.Guang was embarrassed for a while, wondering how his beloved chessboard had become a breeding ground for fat cats.

However, he was reluctant to drive it down.Guang casually picked up his coat with the word "5" printed on it, covered it on the fat maneki cat, and packed up the empty wine bottle.

...It was the first time he had seen such a drinking cat.No, to be precise, Mr. Cat is the first cat he has ever seen who can drink alcohol!

Something must have happened between it and Natsume.Although "what happened" is a bit ridiculous to apply to a person and a cat.

Just then, the phone rang.It turned out to be a call from Tokyo Hospital.

——What a coincidence?

Just answer the phone.Sure enough, the boy's familiar voice came from the phone: "Hello, is this Shinto-kun?"

The slender voice was soft, as if afraid of disturbing something.Just like the moonlight at this time, cold and transparent, so lonely.

Guang's heart softened.The resentment towards Mr. Cat disappeared in an instant.If he remembered correctly, this should be the first time Natsume contacted him.Although it is for the cat teacher...

He took a deep breath: "Yo, Natsume."

"Did the teacher run to your house?"

"Yeah. How do you know?"

"Because—" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and after a while, there was a slight and cramped laughter, like a wisp of dandelion rising abruptly in the wind, "—because the teacher likes you, Shinto-kun."

A mouthful of blood rushed to the throat and almost spurted out.What the hell is going on? It seems that he is not the only one who has become strange.

"Hey, Shinto-kun..."

"Ok?"

"Mr. Cat is by your side, won't it cause you any trouble?"

Natsume's consultation was gentle, but with a hint of melancholy.Even though his nerves were as wide as light, he could feel some kind of subtle aura.

"Trouble is not. But Natsume," Hikaru couldn't help asking, "what happened to you and Mr. Kitty?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.All I could hear was the sound of paper flipping.It's his mysterious "Book of Friends", just think about it.

"It's all right." He heard the boy's answer, insignificant, "It's nothing."

The author has something to say:

I hope you will leave a lot of messages, welcome to Paizhuan.
