Mr. Natsume's special mantra

Since I was a child, I have often seen strange things that others cannot see. Those are probably things called youkai. ——Natsume Takashi Note ①

Wisps of sunlight shine through the gaps in the dotted leaves, sprinkled on the walking figure, and cast mottled patches.

The forest was quiet, except for the creaking sound of a young boy accidentally stepping on a small fallen branch.

"Is this the place?" The boy stopped and looked up at the ancient tree surrounded by dead vines.

The warm voice reached the little monster's ears, but it somehow deepened its inner fear.

"Yes... yes, thank you Natsume-sama..." The little monster sat on the boy's shoulder, his voice trembling.

Hearing this voice clearly showing fear, the young man looked suspiciously at his left shoulder. Just as he was about to ask why, he saw the little monster jumping off him in a hurry and staggering towards the depths of the forest.

The boy became even more confused, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Until the figure of the little monster gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest, the boy somehow remembered something, and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

As noon approached, the sun gradually became more sinister.

The young man turned around and was about to leave for home when he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him.

It's a monster!

The monster exuding a mud-like stench was rushing towards him at a speed that was unmatched by humans.

The boy's breath froze for a moment, and then he ran away.

"Hu-hu-"

The boy was panting heavily, but the monster behind him was chasing after him.

Faster, faster...

"hiss--"

His back was scratched, and the wound opened with every step he took.

The boy's footsteps gradually slowed down, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat due to the severe pain.

But he didn't dare to slow down, because he willfully left Mr. Cat at home and came out alone, which led to the current ending.

will die...

The boy couldn't help but think.

The monster's claws seemed to have some kind of poison, and he clearly felt that his body gradually began to disobey his instructions.

He turned his head and glanced at the evil monster covered in black mist, and suddenly realized the source of the fear in the little monster's voice when it left.

it is...

The teenager forced himself not to think about the connection between the two things, but his mind didn't work as he wanted.

It's a primer...

Obvious betrayal happened to teenagers.

He sighed, his consciousness was drowsy, the physical strength of human beings is limited after all, let alone the human beings after being poisoned.

When he fell down, the young man felt only a tinge of rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately... when he went out today, he didn't bring out the friend account.

How can the account of friends who can control the things in the account fall into the hands of this kind of monster...

dizzy head...

The body... seems to have been lying down for a long time, and the whole body is stiff and sore...

Natsume Takashi moved his fingers, which were fluffy, as if lying on top of high-quality fur.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, his bed was not so soft, this feeling was more like lying on the body of the prototyped teacher cat.

Moreover, the scratched back did not feel a trace of pain.

Natsume Takashi opened his eyes, and the dark sky with almost no light squeezed into his eyes.

He blinked, only to realize it wasn't an illusion.

It's not that it's night, but this place should have been sealed off by some kind of spell, causing the sky to be dark.

Natsume Takashi suddenly had a headache. He didn't know much about demon masters, but it was obvious that this place should belong to some kind of forbidden area.

He straightened up, looked down at the familiar hair of the giant white beast, and felt relieved.

Although I don't know how the wound on my body healed, and I don't know why I and Mr. Cat are here, but fortunately Mr. Cat is there.

Natsume Takashi leaned down and rubbed his face against the back of the giant beast.

"Mr. Cat, I'm sorry."

Familiar words were spoken, but there was no expected response.

Only then did the boy notice that the aura of this giant beast that had been guarding him had already undergone a huge change.

The originally clear, sweet spring-like breath was somehow contaminated with filth, and the two blended together, making the big demon's breath extremely stench.

A sense of panic suddenly filled the boy's heart, "Ms. Kitty... Teacher... Madara..."

He yelled one after another, but he still couldn't get a response from the big demon.

I don't know how long it took to call, until Natsume Takashi felt that his voice was hoarse, and the giant beast still didn't respond, not even a simple roar.

Natsume Takashi knelt on the giant beast, could not help but whimpered, but his eyes seemed to be dry without a single tear.

It was his willfulness that caused the current situation.

The gentle boy put all the blame on himself.

The sad breath seemed to startle this beautiful white monster, and the tail that was as elegant as a cloud swept gently over the top of Natsume Takashi's head.

Natsume Takashi, who was aware of the giant beast's comfort, was taken aback for a moment, and stood on the giant beast's body with the strength of his tail. Seeing the scene around the giant beast, his dry eye sockets suddenly burst into tears.

Even though it was a scene from a horror movie that would make one's stomach sick, the boy stared blankly at it for a long time.

The mutilated corpses were piled up beside the giant beast like a hill, with stumps, blood, and organs everywhere.

Even so, there are still countless monsters that are even more grotesque than monsters coming one after another.

Natsume Takashi covered his mouth, tears were even more raging.

The flesh and blood of powerful people and monsters will always be coveted.

However, those monsters who coveted their power were all slain by the giant beasts from a distance.

The giant beast's limbs were stained with blood, but the young man lying on top of him was... bloodless.

Even when he lost his mind, the giant beast instinctively knew——

Teenagers don't like fishy smells.

Natsume Takashi stood silently on the giant beast for a long time while shedding tears like this. Finally, Natsume Takashi lowered his body when the tears had dried up, stroked the long hair of the giant beast, and softly said that the giant beast would never again. Can't hear the words in your head.

"Thank you, Mr. Cat."

After finishing speaking, the boy's hand stroking the giant beast's hair paused slightly, and then he took out the familiar old book from the giant beast's hair——

Friends account.

"It's too much...Teacher..." The young man's just calmed down collapsed under the impact again, and his voice was crying again, "If you make me cry again...you will never see the familiar me ..."
