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

Natsume Special Ending

I hope that a special friend will help you store your longing for love and hold that pure tenderness, like nursing a lily that just woke up from the cracked earth.I understand, so keep silent.

When the light came back, it was already twilight.At that time, Natsume had already packed her clothes and was watering the saplings in the yard, trying to suppress the anxiety in her heart.

The sound of the flute in the room is endless, with a ray of unknown sadness, like fallen leaves on the dusty mud.

The melody repeated, Natsume just listened silently.Until the wooden door creaked, Guang appeared in front of the yard with a backpack slung across his body, holding an account book in his hand.The boy's golden hoodie was soaked in the warm red glow, and the entire outline was thin and soft.As the sun turned into the evening, the two teenagers looked at each other.

"Pfft!" Guang Xian laughed, "Natsume, you really look like a child waiting for his family to come back!"

Natsume pretended to be angry: "Shito-kun, I found that you are getting too much." Before he finished speaking, he laughed.

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled.

Guang pointed to the room: "What's wrong with Zuo Wei?"

Hikaru also sensed the sadness in the sound of the flute... Natsume said: "Zoe knows. He knows that he will never see Asaka again."

"Zuo Wei also...?!" Hikari was shocked.

Natsume sighed heavily, telling the conversation between Asagi and him.

"Shancong, she's really strong." Guang took off his backpack and sat down on the wicker chair in the yard, "How did she do it? She's so rational." After a pause, "Do monsters so?"

"Youkai have different personalities... just like people." Natsume said, "Sometimes, youkai seem to be more open-minded than humans, and their emotions are purer."

"I can see it. Your "Book of Friends" is simply because the monster couldn't bear your grandmother's name."

In a word.Natsume couldn't help smiling: "Yes."

He recalled the words that Guang said not long ago: I will be grateful.

A drop of rainwater fell from the eaves of the corridor, and dripped on the bamboo-green account book in Guang's hand, blurring the "Jin rattan chess account" on the cover.

"Huh? This?" Natsume was surprised.

On the night when Hikari obtained Tianyuan, Natsume took the "Shinto Chess Book" to the chess academy, and wanted to return it to Hikari.Unexpectedly, there were too many reporters interviewing, so Natsume handed it over to Ogata Yuriko and asked her to pass it on for her.

"Thank you for doing so much for Sato and me." Hikari said sincerely, carefully placing the "Shinto Kisaku Book" on his lap, "But at that time, Yuriko did not give it to me."

At the Go seminar at Taya's house, Yuriko brought the "Shinto Chess Book" to Taya's house, and then Ryo borrowed it.

"Hey!" Natsume felt incredible.

"Taya almost recited all the chess games and annotations in it." Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You don't know how shocked I was at that time."

How many years ago, Hikari, Zuowei and Natsume had not met each other.The legend of the chess soul submerged in the long river of time has never been mentioned by Hikaru. Natsume picked up the fragments of the story bit by bit from Zuowei's annotations in "Shinto Chess Book".Those warm, sad, touching... Natsume has never experienced it, but can understand it one by one.

"You guys reconciled." Natsume was almost sure.

"Yes. He said some answers that I've been looking forward to for a long time." Guang nodded.

What those answers were, Natsume didn't ask.It is enough to know that the present light is happy.

"The thing that shocked me the most was this." Guang said.

Guang turned to the back of "Jin Teng Qi Pu Zhang".

I saw that the back half of the "Jin Teng Chess Book" is the chess records after the Guangtianyuan competition, and there is no omission, all annotated with a pen.It is a handwriting that is completely different from Zuowei's calligraphy. It is beautiful, neat and powerful.At the beginning, the notes were relatively normal, but the tone became more and more impatient as it got to the end. On one page, I actually drew a big circle next to a certain number with a pen, and simply wrote: "Bad tricks must fail."

Natsume sighed for a moment.Suddenly unable to hold back, he burst out laughing with a "poof".He didn't dare to laugh too presumptuously, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Hey, hey, what are you laughing at?" Guang's expression became awkward.

Natsume smiled and waved his hands: "No, I just think... this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen."

Guang raised his eyebrows, but grinned at the same moment: "For some reason, I miss Mr. Cat when you say the word 'stupid'."

"Oh, Mr. Kitty..." Natsume said with a smile, "You have to coax it."

"I don't even know what it's angry about. Although I can't see Madara anymore, I can still see it as a container for Mr. Cat!"

"Teacher may not be able to accept that it will always be a big fat cat in your eyes." Natsume hit the nail on the head.

Without hesitation, Guang said, "Then let it become me."

Natsume:"……"

Hikaru smiled and said, "If Mr. Kitty becomes me going to the clubhouse, I can even imagine Taya blowing his hair."

"...It's better not to." Natsume's face darkened.Although I have never seen Taya Ryo angry, but I intuitively think that it must be terrible.

"By the way," Guang's expression suddenly became awkward, "I've glued "Book of Friends". Did you... see it?"

Natsume was a little confused: "Well, I put it in my backpack this morning." He still "supervised" Hikari's pasting with his own eyes, why did Hikari mention this on purpose?

"Did Teacher Cat say that after a hundred years, it will take over "Book of Friends"?"

Natsume was even more inexplicable: "Yes."

"You... remember to read the last page when you go back." Hikari's face flushed in the setting sun, and he added, "Go back to Yayuan and read it again. Read it with Mr. Cat."

"Well, good. I'll remember to watch."

The wall is full of setting sun, the sound of the flute is meaningful, and the cherry blossoms in early spring are dancing between the two of them.Natsume's heart has never been so complete.

The young man picked up a petal on his shoulder and said softly, "Jin Teng-kun, I'm going back."

"Guizhi, are you leaving?" The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and a warm voice came, soft like a dream, like flowers blowing snow falling from the sky.

Zuo Wei supported the door frame and stood on the porch, his cloud-like robes were dyed brightly by the twilight.There was a glassy gleam in his blue-purple eyes, full of sadness.In his hand, the water-blue tassels at the end of the bamboo flute fluttered softly.

Such Zuowei made Natsume feel lonely.But there was nothing he could do.

Natsume took out a crumpled note from his backpack and handed it to Zuowei.It was the address written by Chuan Tim.

"Zuowei, I hope Asagi can play the piano." Natsume said.

Zuo Wei is the only one who can make Asagi pick up the piano again.

Hikaru stood up and patted the cherry blossoms on his knees: "Natsume, let me take you to the station."

<<

Every time Natsume said goodbye to Hikari in the past, his chest would be filled with sadness and loss, and he found it difficult to meet again.Maybe it's because friends like Guang are too rare to meet, or maybe it's because that black and white world is too far away from him.

But this time it was different, and Natsume gained a certain confidence.No matter how far apart they are, no matter how different worlds they live in, they are all together.

It's strange, obviously, neither Hikari nor Zuowei can see the monster anymore.

<<

Natsume didn't wait to go home.

The scenery passed by outside the car window.Most of the carriages were empty at night, Natsume asked for a glass of water and sat by the window, looked around to confirm that it was safe, and then carefully took out "Book of Friends".

Turn to the last page.

Natsume almost spit out a sip of water, choking and coughing non-stop.

I saw a few large characters crookedly written on that piece of paper——

"Jinto Light".

...It seems that I think my handwriting is so good, but it turns out to be big and big.Next to the name, there is a line of small vertical characters - "To Teacher Cat: You can't get rid of me!" At the end, a grimace with tongue sticking out is drawn, and two pinches of yellow hair are painted on.

The handwriting of Taya-kun is in a different state... Could it be that Shinto-kun used the same handwriting to sign the chess fans... Anyway, it seems that I saw a hand drawn on "Kurata" in the room The big fork, the fan with Hikari's name written on it... By the way, that fan seems to have been picked up by Zuowei and knocked on Light's head... I really want to kick Hikari back to kindergarten to practice calligraphy... Ah, why do I feel so ashamed for no reason... ...How did he become a Tianyuan with him like this...

... Natsume felt that he was completely stunned, and there were all kinds of messy complaints in his heart.

Wait a minute, what the hell is this!

Hikaru actually left his name in "Book of Friends" on his own initiative!Did he really think this "Book of Friends" was a friend's contact book? !

Hikari Shindo, the first human being to leave his name in "Book of Friends".

——"Your "Book of Friends" is simply because the monsters are reluctant to leave your grandmother's name."

Natsume couldn't help laughing imagining Mr. Cat's expression, but another picture appeared in his mind.

The boy with blond bangs secretly closed the paper door of the room, and carefully cut the soft white paper to the same size as the pages scattered in "Friends' Book".

Even if he was a little embarrassed, he knew that his handwriting was not good-looking, so he suppressed it, frowned slightly, blushed slightly, and wrote strokes on white paper with a black pen.

The old Natsume's house was very quiet, only the sound of gold and stone could be heard, which could be heard clearly and loudly.The windows are bright and clean, the shadow of the sun is clear, and there are black and white staggered on the chessboard.The wisteria in the yard will soon blow Japanese paper wind chimes.The loquat tree next to the rattan chair will soon be as graceful as a cover.

In Natsume's friend account, in my heart, your name.

Leaning against the car window, Natsume thought quietly, the corners of her lips curved slightly into a slight arc.However, a drop of tear fell from the corner of the eye first, soaking the name in "Friends' Book" and blurring into a black flower.
