Mr. Natsume's special mantra

A monster that has degenerated into a curse spirit is different from a curse spirit. I clearly and rationally recognize this difference. ——Takashi Natsume

"hateful……"

The roaring curse spirit struggled to curse Gu Huo from his broken throat.

Gu Huo smiled and didn't speak.

Her hands were extremely accurate and ruthless, and the sword pierced straight into her heart, without giving herself the slightest possibility of regretting it.

Blood spurted out from the wound at an unstoppable speed.

The curse spirit and Gu Huo began to dissipate at the same rate.

"Guhuo!" Natsume yelled.

Standing in the air, Gu Huo looked down, as if traveling through time and space, and stared at the young child. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the head of her imaginary child.

She didn't tell Natsume Takashi that she was just a newly born monster when she met him. He was the first human cub she noticed and the first human cub who could see her.

From the moment they met, fate was born.

After Natsume Takashi unilaterally broke with her, she left the area where Natsume Takashi lived and began to wander around Japan.

Before that voice rang in her ears, she had met many monsters, raised quite a few monster cubs, and even... met human cubs who could see her.

The latter are rare, but not non-existent.

When human beings are young, they can always see many things that they cannot see when they grow up.

However, Natsume Takashi has always remained in her memory and will never fade.

It's not that she didn't go back to look for this child, but she heard from the monsters around that Natsume Takashi also left there shortly after she left.

Years of avoidance seems to have become a kind of joke, leaving only a touch of sadness.

So, when the witch's voice sounded in her mind, she came to this world without the slightest hesitation.

For her, living in another world is not so difficult for her to accept.

After all, she herself is a wandering monster.

Changing the world is just another wandering location.

However, for Natsume Takashi, it was different.

Incomplete souls need to be filled with faith.

Is that so?

Gu Huo tilted her head and thought for a while, the witch's words had long been forgotten by her after years of waiting.

I vaguely remember that the exchange terms that the Witch proposed to her were——

Do you want to continue your relationship with Natsume Takashi?

Thinking of it, Gu Huo had a warm smile on his face, it was this one.

Yes.

Humans and demons are inseparable bonds.

But no way.

She just wanted to continue her lifetime relationship with the human being in front of her willfully.

Sensing that the curse spirit, who was tormented madly by the pain, wanted to drag all the humans beside her into the water, Gu Huo gently swung his sword to block the curse spirit's attack.

Years of traveling have already made her stronger. Although she is not as good as the civet cat who is beside Natsume Takashi, she is not as good as a curse spirit who can only survive by relying on her child's body.

Even if she links part of her soul with the soul of the baby in order to allow the baby to survive better, the power and life will unilaterally flow from the baby to the baby along with the link, but she is weak, it does not mean This magic spirit can step on her head.

Wanting to kill Natsume Takashi and the others in front of her, this curse spirit——

Not enough!

Gu Huo started, and the serious injury on his heart did not have much impact on Gu Huo's battle.

The curse spirit under attack let out a more painful howl.

Not an order of magnitude!

Fu Heihui was once again very soberly aware of this reality.

When fighting with them, Gu Huo didn't use all his strength, just like playing house with a child, Gu Huo's movements were more of a guide.

But now, it was a sword technique that completely put the opponent to death.

Every move, every move, seems to have been calculated in my heart, there is nothing superfluous.

Is this a monster?

He has strength stronger than the curse spirit, but has thoughts that the curse spirit does not have.

why?

Never knew of their existence before.

"No, that's not the case. There are also extremely weak existences among monsters." Natsume Takashi's voice suddenly sounded.

Only then did Fu Heihui realize that she had unknowingly said what was in her heart.

Natsume Takashi's face was full of sadness as usual, he looked at the battle in front of him, and explained: "Among the monsters, there are only a few monsters as strong as Gu Huo, and most monsters are not very strong. They followed the instructions of the big monster and sought the protection of the big monster, just to survive better in this world."

"The stronger the strength and the better the personality of the big monster, the more monsters will follow. You can't notice the existence of monsters because the monsters themselves are also avoiding the existence of humans."

"The existence of avoiding each other, being able to see it is a kind of fate destined by heaven."

I don't know if he was talking about himself or a monster, but there was a self-mockery that Fu Heihui couldn't understand on the boy's face.

Natsume Takashi watched Guhuo whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, and his hands holding Mr. Kitty gradually tightened.

It's not that he hasn't witnessed the death of a monster, but watching Gu Huo pass away, his heart feels as uncomfortable as if his heart was clenched tightly by a fist.

He squatted down slowly, staring at the blood on the floor who didn't know whether it was Guhuo or the curse spirit, as if avoiding, not observing the battle that was close at hand.

I didn't feel so uncomfortable before, it was because of the connection of the dead monster...

It's Reiko.

At that time, he was more like a bystander from God's perspective, watching their deaths with sobriety and arrogance.

He will be uncomfortable and moved, but he has never experienced the great sense of panic of the loss of family and friends as deeply as Mr. Cat and Gu Huo.

Ignore and escape.

He didn't want to watch the scene of that gentle monster committing suicide.

He is not stupid.

Yingxiang's life has long been linked with Guhuo's life.

When one dies, the other dies with him.

This should be the tenderness that Gu Huo gave to the baby, but it became Gu Huo's life-threatening straw.

Careful companions have already noticed that something is wrong with Takashi Natsume.

The boy was lightly patted on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw the familiar and unfamiliar pair of cherry blossom hairpins.

Nagasaki Wild Rose brushed her short hair that fell on the side of her neck, and said, "Didn't Gojo-sensei say that this thing has a healing technique? Here you go, try it."

Yuzu Yuhito also said: "Although Mr. Wujo is a bit unreliable, you can still believe this kind of thing."

Natsume Takashi looked at them a little blankly, the corners of his lips curled up stiffly.

Nagasaki Wild Rose pulled him up, seeing that the thin girl had a lot of strength.She stuffed the cherry blossom hairpin into Natsume Takashi's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, just go."

At this time, Fu Heihui, who had been staring at the front, said, "It's over."

Gu Huo completely defeated the curse spirit unilaterally.

The curse spirit was exorcised.

However, Gu Huo's body has also reached the point where it will dissipate just by touching it.

Natsume Takashi opened his eyes wide, ran to Gu Huo quickly, and handed her the cherry blossom hairpin in his hand with faint hope.

"Is it a gift?" Gu Huo took it with a smile.

The moment the cherry blossom hairpin fell into Guhuo's hands, the magic technique hidden in the hairpin was activated quickly.

The blue light of the magic circle rose under Gu Huo's feet, and then expanded and spread to the entire room.

In the magic circle, cherry blossom petals slowly fell.

Gu Huo reached out to catch a falling cherry blossom, and whispered, "It's her..."
