"Natsume!" Madara, who looked like a beckoning cat, rushed over step by step, landed on Natsume's shoulder, stared at Fu Sangshen on the opposite side for a while, and said, "Really, I will run away if I don't see you for a while. gone."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cat." Natsume apologized habitually, and took the fat cat into his arms, and the heavy weight made him feel at ease immediately.

"You also have a strange... cat." Mustache bent his eyes, "Interesting child."

"Natsume is just my food reserve," Madara licked his paw, "What are you planning to do here? Is there any purpose?"

"No, we're just here to participate in the festival," the big fox explained again in a good-tempered manner, "There is no malice, just now I saw this child walking in the crowd, and I was afraid that he would get hurt, so I took him to the side."

The little fox nodded timidly. Apart from the terrible breath, they didn't really do anything. Moreover, there was a sense of closeness to this person.

"Hmph, just don't come up with any bad ideas," Madara unexpectedly didn't say much, "Let's go, Natsume, I want to eat grilled squid...fish..."

The final ending sound was inaudible after Jiro took a sip of wine with the flagon.

"Meow? What is that wine in your hand?"

"Oh? Kitty, do you know wine?" Jiro generously poured a sip into his mouth, "This is... hiccup, good wine from the master, even I don't have it every day. "

"Okay, cheers—"

"So how did it become like this..."

Natsume stared speechlessly at Madara, who was clinking glasses with Jiro while drinking madly, and thanked himself again for taking them to a place far away from the crowd. Otherwise, if others saw his cat holding a wine glass and circling with one foot, he would definitely be in society news?

"Tanuma, go back first," Natsume looked at his friend worriedly, "I'll just stay here."

"Let me stay, just in case there is something that can help you."

"……But……"

But this place may become dangerous, I don't want you to get too involved in the things here...

"Natsume, I also want to see the world in your eyes," Tanuma replied with a smile, "I want to know more about you, are we friends?"

"Tanuma..."

"Aren't you going to have a drink?"

the white-haired man asked.

"Ah, thank you, but we are not yet 20 years old and cannot drink alcohol." Natsume replied quickly, he had a good impression of this gentle and polite person.

"That's a pity," Xiaohuwan took a sip from his cup, "You can call me Xiaohuwan, are you all children who live around here?"

"Yes, I am Natsume, Natsume Takashi."

"I'm Kaname Tanuma."

The two children hurriedly stood up and bowed.

After hesitating again and again, Natsume tentatively asked: "You...you can see monsters, are you a demon exorcist?"

"Exorcist? I'm not," Xiaohumaru smiled, holding a cup and looking at the night sky, "I'm fighting for my master..."

"Xiaohuwan, let's go to the festival."

San Riyue reached out and took the wine glass from his hand: "It's not interesting to sit here."

He was still holding a whole candy apple in one hand, and the crescent moon was looming in his eyes.

Neither a monster nor a god, swaying between human and non-human, what is it?

Xiaohumaru reluctantly got up and followed him, not forgetting to say hello to Natsume and the others before leaving.

Although it was only a one-time fate during the summer festival, the appearance of this child with pure spiritual power protecting the little fox behind him made him very fond of it.

It's just a pity that I couldn't let the owner touch the ears of this little fox. I originally wanted to take it back to raise it-but if the owner is disappointed, he can choose his own hair. Let's go to the festival to have a chance encounter now.

The big fox walked away calmly and gracefully, but Natsume who stayed where he was was stunned.

"Natsume? Are you okay?" Tanuma asked him worriedly.

"I'm fine," Natsume came back to his senses, and smiled with nostalgia, "I just think that he must be going to meet someone he likes and is very important."

The kind of joy and anticipation hidden in the heart seems so warm, with such feelings.Nothing is bad.

"What a scary kid, can you feel what he's thinking?" Hakiri asked with a smile.

After Kohomaru and Mikazuki left, there was no obstacle between Higakiri and Natsume.

Uh... it's this horrible person...

Natsume leaned back with lingering fear, he couldn't control himself to shield the strong emotions and memories of the monsters around him, but he still felt sorry for his unintentional offense.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I won't draw my sword to cut you because of this, right, brother Maru?" To increase his credibility, Hikakiri turned to look at Komaru.

"This little ghost has a lot of spiritual power, but he can't fight at all. To deal with him, brother doesn't need to draw a sword." Kagemaru replied straightforwardly. Although he didn't know why his brother was full of killing intent for a moment, this human child couldn't fight at all. placed at the level of the opponent.

In a sense, Hikakiri, who had been stabbed by his younger brother, looked at Kemaru and sighed.

"What? Although it's still far behind me, Natsume's monster power is also very strong," the cat teacher yelled, looking completely drunk, "Natsume, show them your strength look!"

"Teacher, you're drunk." Natsume rejected this unreliable proposal with a cold face, "Where do I get my strength, and here...can you show it?"

"Hmph..." Madara took a breath of alcohol and changed back to his original form without warning, with his long white tail encircling the young man, "So, no matter what you are, don't try to get his idea."

"Fatty?" Tanuma subconsciously looked at the place where the beckoning cat suddenly disappeared. Is it... dangerous?

"Although you have some talent, can't you see the youkai that has turned into the real body?" Hikiri smiled and turned his attention to Tanuma, "That's good."

"Ah?" Tanuma answered this sentence inexplicably, not knowing why the other party said that suddenly.

Higakiri drank on his own, without any explanation.

"You can tell by looking at your eyes, judging by the details... The state is like instinct for us." Kagemaru explained, confusing the word "enemy", "Look at your appearance, don't say yes There are fights, probably not even fights."

The two teenagers looked at each other, as if they had been hit.

At this time, there was a slight sound of wind in the distance, and it was approaching here along with the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, as if some light creature was rushing all the way.

Madara raised his head and stared in that direction, wanting to see what was approaching here.

The bushes swayed slightly, and the young man in a black bathrobe landed on one knee in the next second.

"It's you guys." Yao Yan stood up and patted the dust off his body, "I came here to take a look when I felt strange movements, but I ended up drinking here after such a lively festival."

He greeted Natsume and the two with a smile, and looked at Madara who had turned back to his original form and the little fox hiding behind: "A new friend?"

"Ah, Yaoken," Jiro raised his hand to beckon him over, "This is Mr. Kitty, this is his food reserve, and friends who have stored food, we just met, Mr. Kitty is very - can drink .”

"It's obviously a fox," Yao Yan couldn't help but spit out, "and it's much bigger than you."

"Oh, if you get bigger, you can drink more!" Jiro said, "I was already drunk when I was this big just now, can't I continue now?" He gestured to draw a circle the size of a washbasin : "However, Yaoyan, aren't you by Master's side?"

"Does the master have any instructions?" Taro Tachi asked.

"No, I just saw something strange and I was a little concerned, and wanted to grab one to have a look," Dagger replied, "It doesn't seem to come here."

"weird stuff?"

"It looks like this, with a thin and long neck, an oval head, and a loose white kimono..."

Yao Yan traced a rough shape on the ground with ten years of soul painter skills, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a fine clothes hanger.

"...so ugly." Kagemaru commented, "Is it a monster?"

"...It's not that ugly, I think it's quite cute." Yao Yan looked at his own painting and thought it looked okay. "The tiger that wanted to sneak away ran away after being found. Since it's not here, I Just look elsewhere."

...A youkai I've never seen before... Probably.

Natsume struggled to identify the shape of the picture, not sure if there was such a curious look among the youkai he knew.

"I'll catch it for you if I see it." Mustache said indifferently, "Aren't you by his side?"

"Luan and Tui are all by the general's side," Yao Yan smiled, "I heard that there will be fireworks later, so don't miss out on drinking."

"The fireworks start at nine o'clock," Tanuma said. "Because it's a small place, it will end in about 10 minutes. The place where the fireworks are set off is on the river bank, so you can see it from this direction."

"Thank you, if you still can't find it in 10 minutes, I'll come to you for a drink." The dagger glanced at the time, exerted force on his toes, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Drinking...is he an adult?" Natsume asked.

"He is not restricted by your rules." Mustache turned his head and smiled, "Well, but it can be said that he is less than half a year old."

"Cut..." In this harmonious atmosphere, the one who had said harsh words but was not taken seriously turned back into the appearance of a beckoning cat, walking towards Fang with four short legs. Go to where the wine glass is.

"Please."

Taro Tachi poured the wine for him and put it in front of him, stretching out his hand as a gesture.

"It's quite polite..." Madara muttered, until now he couldn't figure out what the other party was, but he instinctively felt that the other party was not easy to mess with, unless it was necessary, he didn't think of conflict.

"You've changed back again? Haha, but if you're that big, you really don't have enough wine." Jiro smiled wantonly, "It would be great if there were some appetizers, oops, I really didn't expect to meet drinking buddies here! "

"Hmph, when I return to my original body, this little wine is not enough to moisten my throat," said Lucky Cat proudly, "but it's really good wine! You can enjoy it slowly when you get smaller!"

"Yes," Taro Tachi sighed, "If you are too big, you will have more troubles. I really have a deep understanding of this after coming to the mortal world."

"Mortal world? Where do you come from?" Lucky Cat asked with one eye closed, "You have the aura of a shrine on your body, which is different from them."

"That's right." Jiro replied with a smile, "Come and drink! We might leave before dawn, and I don't know if we will see each other again. What are you thinking about?"

"...Natsume, it's that Natsume..."

"Eh?" Natsume turned his head with a black line on his face, couldn't it be the one he thought of?

"—Hand over the friend account!"

A huge black shadow sprang out from the grass, and threw the chestnut-haired boy down on the spot.

"let me go!"

Natsume pushed hard, but it looked as futile as a fish out of water snapping its tail.

"Oh~" Tokiri looked calmly at the young man struggling on the ground with a bad posture, and sighed meaningfully: "Is this your friend too?"

"Natsume, what's wrong with you?" Tanuma anxiously stretched out his hand to pull the invisible enemy away from him, "Damn..."

"Look...you know...don't you!"

The boy who finally freed his hand punched Soi Ying on the face with all his strength, and Hei Ying let out a scream of "chirp", shrunk quickly and ran away in the air.

"Wonderful." Higakiri raised his glass.

"Brother," Kagemaru poured wine for him, "It's not bad that humans can do this. But you should do some basic exercises, and you can't be restrained as soon as you come up."

He pointed to Natsume: "Since you can judge in advance that you will be attacked, don't just look back. It is a dangerous behavior to be restrained by the other party's loss of initiative. If the other party's goal is to kill you, it has already succeeded. .”

"If you are suppressed by the enemy from above, you can do this... and then do this again..." Kagemaru briefly explained a few joint skills for him.

"Yes!" Natsume hurriedly nodded to be taught. He didn't have the opportunity to learn how to fight systematically. He basically relied on instinct to deal with these emergencies, and he was very embarrassed every time.

You mean Mr. Cat?Because he himself is also this kind of beast's intuition style of play, one pounce, two bites, three sweeps, and at most he is crushed by demon power, which is completely worthless to learn.

"If the two of you are friends, you will improve faster by practicing together, and your reaction, speed and strength need to be strengthened."

Tanuma, who came over to listen, also nodded and agreed, thinking about whether to go to a dojo to experience it.

"I'm his bodyguard, how can I let this kind of thing—hiccup—happen?" Mr. Cat hiccupped and said, "There's no need to take care of this little miscellaneous fish that can't even distinguish its breath. .”

"Even if you are a miscellaneous soldier, you should give them enough attention." The dagger who went into the woods to search did not know when he returned to this small banquet, "People will always stumble on the little people they didn't expect, and arrogance cannot improve. "

"Yaoyan—you came back so fast, come here, come here~"

"The firework festival is about to start. I'll try my luck after watching the fireworks." Dian Dao walked to them and sat down. "It's almost nine o'clock."

"Then hurry up and pour the wine!"

"Your friends are both monsters and humans," Higiri asked Natsume over the lively background sound, "How long will this continue?"

"what?"

The first fireworks rose into the sky, and the gorgeous colors lit up Natsume's puzzled face.

"The time of human beings is different from that of monsters." Hikakiri looked up to admire the large group of firecrackers in the sky. "For you, there are so many things to do in a short life, but for...them, it's just It's just a time waiting for you."

"Just like this firework, when I find it beautiful, it will disappear."

The thumping of fireworks into the air drowned out his voice, and only a few words could be heard.

"But even so, I will still be attracted by the beauty of the fireworks." Natsume put his hands behind his back and looked up at the fireworks rising in the night sky. "When I was young, I would feel that the sky after the fireworks was very lonely, but now Looking back, I just remember that the fireworks are really beautiful."

"Even if I can't be with Mr. Cat and the others all the time, I hope that they will smile and not be lonely when they recall after a long time."

——Arrogant child, how did you know it would be a smile.

Hikiri smiled and did not continue this topic.

The author has something to say: If you want to say who is the most arrogant in Honmaru, then I will vote for Hikakiri...

I hope Natsume can solve his inner confusion.

Whether it is knives or monsters, for them, the period of being attracted by humans is as short as the moment when we see fireworks

Human life is so short, but at least we were happy when we were together

The current time period is the summer of the third season of Natsume's Book of Friends~

Later, due to the needs of the plot, I will popularize smartphones in Natsume!

Finally, I would like to thank Kasib and Swastika Zhanxi Ye Swastika who gave me the little angel gluttony who threw mines!14 bottles of little angel Qing medicine for irrigation nutrient solution!

I love everyone~
