[Comprehensive] I, the second generation of God, have a bad fate

In order to facilitate the preparation of soup and medicine, the matter of renting a house was also put on the agenda.

It's a pity that Natsume Takashi spent some time searching between his home and school, but he couldn't find a suitable student apartment.

Xia You is also looking for suitable housing on the Internet, but the student apartments are basically full at present. This decision came suddenly, and it is not easy to find a suitable place to live for a while.

In addition to student apartments, we can only consider general private houses.

However, the rental price of ordinary private houses is usually higher than that of student apartments, and the facilities are not uniform. The brothers and sisters have saved a lot of pocket money, but there is still a certain pressure to cover these expenses without telling the Fujiwara couple.

Natsume Takashi has always had the habit of doing odd jobs. In addition, he has a relatively frugal personality. He has also saved a sum of savings over the years. After a few days of tossing around, he got nothing, so he plans to turn to renting ordinary private houses.

After learning of Natsume Takashi's decision, Xia You hesitated to take the bounty that Gao Tianyuan gave to Natsume Takashi's group for an ordinary private house with better conditions, but he was afraid that Natsume Takashi would not want to spend the money.

When she was racking her brains and thinking about how to make Natsume Takashi willing to accept the money, the other party happily told her that she had rented a very good general private house in a suitable location, and the rent was even lower than that of a student apartment.

"Brother won't meet a liar, right?" Xia You said with a little surprise.

"Don't worry, that house is under the name of Professor Duogui." Natsume Takashi explained, hesitating for a while and then said, "Professor Duogui has some understanding of my situation, and the house is very big, and I'm not the only one living there over there."

Since it is a vacant property under the name of Riichiro Doko, it is only natural to take care of his own students, but...

Madara immediately jumped out and spoke quickly: "There are others? Then isn't this a shared rent with others? Will it disturb Guizhi's rest."

That's all they care about.

Natsume Takashi smiled slightly, with a bit of tenderness in his eyes, "No, don't worry, Mr. Cat, there is only one girl besides me."

"Who is it?" Hearing the familiarity and gentleness in his tone, Xia You vaguely had an answer in her heart.

"It's Xiao Tou, she came to work in Tokyo after graduation."

"Ah! Since that's the case, I also want to go out and live with Takashi forever." Madara couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his nose. Doguto is very good at baking biscuits and making desserts. Heart.

Much better than Xia You who only knows how to deliberately stuff old godfather hot sauce into various buns and biscuits to trick him into eating it!

"Sure enough, multi-track sister! Since we are old friends, I can rest assured. Teacher Mao can go if he wants to be with brother. Anyway, you are fooling around outside every day, and mother is used to it."

He usually doesn't go home for three to five days, and Toko and Fujiwara Shigeru are also used to it and don't worry about him.

A smile appeared on Xia You's face, and he continued: "Then Brother Tanuma will also come to Tokyo?"

After all, these three people were the Iron Triangle in high school.

"He's in Yokohama now, very close to us."

Over the years, Natsume Takashi has always kept in close contact with his friends, even though he was separated from them after graduation.

"Yokohama, brother, you should go out and play together when you are free. It's not good to stay at home." Xia You smiled and helped him organize the books and notebooks he usually used. It’s great to be together.”

Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo. It seems that Tanuma has developed very well over the years.Duoguitou is also a considerate girl, with her helping to take care of Natsume Takashi, Xia You will feel much more at ease.

"Well, we have an appointment to play together." Natsume Takashi reached out and rubbed his head, apparently in a good mood recently, "When my brother recovers from his illness, I will take you and Mr. Cat to travel together."

"Travel, where should I go? Well... I haven't been back to Yayuan for a long time, let's go back and see if we have a chance..." To see what those old friends and monsters look like now.

Although Yahara is not as prosperous as Tokyo and Kanagawa, that quiet small town has treasured many childhood memories.

"Okay." Natsume Takashi nodded with a smile, his expression was very gentle, "I miss you all too, when I get a monk's degree in folklore, I can chase the traces of monsters in various places with Tian Zhao. "

Tanuma is also studying folklore. As a folklorist, naturally he will not always settle in one city.They had discussed together that they hoped that one day in the future they would be able to establish a magazine dedicated to publishing monster customs.

It is also Takashi Natsume's ideal to travel to every piece of land to chase and understand the stories behind those monsters, which is why he resolutely chose to study folklore at Tokyo University.

Until the day when the old man can't walk anymore, he will return to the quiet and gentle Yayuan to spend his old age in peace.

"Okay, okay!" Xia You's eyes lit up, "Then I'm going to serialize my monster comics in my brother's books, hehe, you have to give me an A-level signing fee."

"Ahem! How can an article be published without a picture, Mr. Honmahara is a real high-level monster, if Takashi and your little friend need to take a photo model, of course I will not refuse."

"Besides, I'm different from Xia You. I don't need any remuneration. I can just use bean paste steamed buns and wine instead." Madara kept shaking her short tail, her abacus crackling.

Natsume Takashi held back the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face on purpose, "You two are too much, shouldn't you provide me with free help in the early days of the magazine?"

There was chatter and laughter in the bedroom, and Tazi downstairs, who was cleaning the fruit, quietly listened to the laughter in the room and the occasional cat meowing, and gently curled the corners of his mouth.

*****

Takashi Natsume eventually moved into Riichiro's house, and became roommates with Toru for a while.

Her cooking skills are very good. She usually cooks at home when she comes back from get off work. After adding Natsume Takashi, the two basically take turns cooking breakfast and dinner. Cooking at home is healthier than the school cafeteria.

Sometimes, when Xia You passed by Duogui's house after school, she would bring some fruit and snacks to the door.Including the dosage of Natsume Takashi's herbal medicines, she kept them all in her heart, and every time she was about to run out, she would take them from Nadeshiko and send them to him.

Whenever she came to visit, she would always be entertained by Dokoto, and occasionally she would meet Kaname Tanuma a few times.

The efficacy of fresh herbs is better than that of dried ones. Ever since Natsume Takashi became aware of Natsume Takashi's illness, Tamazamae would often deliberately pick a lot of herbs when he went out.Although he usually dislikes Ibaraki and Xia You who frequently come and go in and out of his wooden house, disturbing the two-person world between him and Nadeko, when Xia You needs help, he still helps silently without saying a word. She looks for herbs.

Xia You remembered all the kindness between the husband and wife in his heart.

According to the prescription given to her by Nuliang Huapiao, Xia You listed those rare and precious herbs one by one from above, and asked her friends around her to help find them.

Fortunately, most of the medicinal materials are planted in the great rivers and mountains. Although the amount is small, the seeds are plentiful.For other individual seeds, Huang begged for some from the imperial medicine office of the emperor's palace, and Yato also used his own power to find Liangmai in every possible way.

Everyone patched together, and finally managed to get together the medicinal materials needed in the prescription.

"Don't worry, the maturity period of these herbs is not too long, and they will be harvested soon after they are planted." Ibaraki lowered his head and ate the food, with a dusty body and a few drops of sweat on his forehead. He ran around looking for medicinal herbs for him.

"I have already talked about this with my best friend, and he promised to transform the sea of ​​flowers in the mountains into a medicine field."

Xia You reached out and twirled the fallen leaves from his hair, still a little worried, she was afraid that the planting method was wrong and these precious herbs would be wasted, "But I heard from Nadeshiko that some of these herbs are very delicate..."

"It's okay, when I went out looking for medicinal herbs with my best friend two days ago, I met a guy who knows how to take care of these things." Speaking of this, Ibaraki smiled, "I saw that he was still useful, so I took it together with my best friend. He got it back."

"...Ah?" Xia You twitched the corner of her mouth, "Caught it back? Wouldn't this be bad, what if he gets angry..."

"That guy's called 'Earth God', don't worry, no one dares to resist me and my best friend." Ibaraki said disapprovingly, "It's his good fortune for a monster like him who is not good at force to be protected by Dajiangshan, and my best friend and I It’s too late for him to be happy about enclosing such a large piece of land as a medicine field for him.”

Before that, he was worried about the monsters coming to the medicine field to steal herbs every day.

Xia You was startled, and recalled what Nuliang Huapiao had said in a trance.

It turns out that this is the reason why Dajiang Shanyao Tian and the Earth God appeared.

What a magical world...

It took only two days for the herbs to be planted. Although Natsume Takashi still couldn't drink it, it seemed that his condition was temporarily relieved with the recuperating decoction provided by Nadeshiko.

The spiritual power is still growing, but Natsume Takashi will no longer feel unbearable pain, the number of dizziness has decreased, and he has never been in a coma again.

The medicinal materials have been resolved, but there is still no news about the most important mermaid bone.

After filling his stomach in a hurry, Ibaraki took her to Heianjing again.

After learning about her difficulties, Huang also looked through ancient books to find something that could replace the mermaid bone.He believes that instead of spending time looking for mermaid bones, it is better to find other items that can replace them as soon as possible.

"Mermaid is a creature that has been hard to find since hundreds of years ago, and the ones that have been handed down in the world are mostly fakes."

This thing is hard to find, he is very clear.

"I've read your prescription. If you want to use mermaid bones as medicine, you need a lot."

Where can Xia You find so many rare mermaid bones?

"Mermaid meat can make people live forever, and mermaid bones can completely change human physique when used as medicine. There is also the root of the human face tree that has the same effect."

"The root of the human face tree... what is the human face tree?"

"The so-called human face tree is actually a kind of dryad. Dryads are common, but human face trees are not."

Huang put down the scroll, and explained slowly, "The dryads who can cultivate human faces are at least a thousand years old. As monsters with extremely tenacious vitality, their roots are the source of their strength."

"And this original power has strong vitality, and it is gentle and harmless to human beings, and its efficacy is not weaker than that of mermaid bones." Huang looked up at her, and there seemed to be a starry sky in his purple eyes, "Compared to mermaid bones that have long since disappeared, human Although face trees are rare, the difficulty of finding them is much lower."

Xia You's eyes lit up, "Then do you know where someone faces a tree?"

It sounds like refined ginseng?

Huang shook his head slightly, and after seeing the disappointment in her eyes, he continued: "I predicted it for you in the dream, and I saw a living human-mask tree in the dream, so I am sure it still exists."

"It's just that what is the name of the human-face tree and where is it now, I still need to verify it from the details in the dream."

What he sees in the prophecy dream is just a picture. He can predict what will happen in the future, but it does not mean that he recognizes the place in the picture.

At least, according to the pictures he has seen so far, he can be sure that the strange forest is not near Kyoto.

"Just wait patiently for the news."

"Okay, thank you." Xia You breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression became a little more relaxed. As she searched and groped, the hope she grasped in her hands grew bigger and bigger.

What's more, the person in front of her is Huang, and she has always had an inexplicable trust in him.

Although he didn't know why this feeling came from, Xia You firmly believed that he must know where the Human Face Tree was.

His serious but calm face and unhurried tone always make people feel inexplicably at ease and reliable.

*****

When we left Heianjing, it was already a night full of moon and stars.

Xia You yawned, leaned on Ibaraki's back and sighed: "If I can find one of the mermaid bone and the human face tree, then I can rest assured."

"I'll look for it with you." No matter where the place is, he will accompany her there.

Xia You looked at his slightly tired side face, held her tightly with her fingers, and said warmly: "This time, thank you and Jiu Tun."

Ibaraki frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Don't say thank you in front of me."

He did this because he didn't want to see tears on her face, and she didn't want her to be frowning and worried about others.

Seeing his sullen look, Xia You raised her smiling face and quickly kissed him on the cheek, then tilted her head and leaned gently on his shoulder.

Ibaraki was slightly taken aback, his footsteps stopped unconsciously, then his brows relaxed, and a slight smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Sleep on my back for a while, it's already late, and you have to get up early for school tomorrow."

Xia You yawned, and answered inarticulately.

This Sunday was all spent in the safe world, but fortunately Amazon turned into her to help deal with Fujiwara Toko and Fujiwara Shigeru.But it's not a solution to go on like this, otherwise that guy Madara will show his vest sooner or later.

Although a little tired, Ibaraki should be more tired than her recently, right?

Dajiangshan's move helped her a lot, so that Natsume Takashi would not have to worry about the source of medicinal materials in the future.

And Jiu Tun, who would rather be entangled by Ibaraki than come forward to help find herbs, was beyond her expectation.

But in fact, Jiu Tun said that he had no choice!

Since the start of school, Xia You has never been to Dajiangshan again, and Ibaraki has stayed here much longer, which made him wonder if the two of them had a quarrel and started a cold war.

After being overtaken by Ibaraki accidentally, he calmly asked Ibaraki why he wasn't with Xia You, and just now seeing the other party's expression lost, he said aggrievedly that Xia You wouldn't let him go to another world frequently.

Feelings are younger siblings dislike this guy?

Jiu Tun suddenly panicked, his good siblings are gone, so how will he live the rest of his life!

So when he learned about Brother Xia You's difficulties, without saying a word, he immediately slapped Ibaraki on his thigh and went to the outside world to find herbs, for fear that Xia You would despise Ibaraki and kick him without a single look.

Hoshikuma Doji was stunned after some manipulations, and wondered if Jiu Tun also had a crush on Xia You, otherwise how could he be more active than Ibaraki?

Shuten was too lazy to explain to a fool like Hoshiguma who didn't have a long-term vision.

He had to help Ibaraki increase his favorability in front of Xia You, and firmly consolidate their relationship, so that he would not be shrouded in darkness for the rest of his life.

Jiu Tun anxiously searched for herbs, and stayed awake for days and nights, his eyes turned black.Seeing all this, Ibaraki was naturally very moved, and expressed impassionedly several times that he must be with him in life and death, and never abandon his best friend.

Jiu Tun felt a chill, and it took a lot of effort to keep his expression of relief from collapsing.

Who wants to live and die with this guy!

He endures.

It's better to be entangled for a while than to be entangled for a lifetime. When Xia You's little girl marries into Dajiangshan, he will be able to survive.

Imagining the arrival of that moment, sitting in the mountains and rivers drinking Erguotou wine, with dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help showing a comforting smile like an old father.
