After being surrounded by the healing system

The sun rose the next day, and Natsume Takashi, who couldn't sleep all night, was worried about the impact of the existence in the attic on the Fujiwara couple, so he went upstairs again by himself. Although the outside was still foggy, probably because it was daytime, Natsume Takashi became more courageous Not a lot.

The windows that were opened one by one by Toko Fujiwara last night were all tightly closed at this time, and those 'vines' climbed up the window sills and covered the glass, having the experience of being deprived of strength last night and almost unable to get up , Natsume Takashi didn't dare to touch it again.

Natsume Takashi groped along the vague impression of last night, the 'vines' became denser and denser, they gathered into a dreamlike existence like a 'Crystal Palace', it seemed that every arc, texture, and even the flowing fluorescent light seemed to be like Carefully designed by artists, Natsume Takashi saw a closed shoji gate at the end of the "vines".

Swallowing his saliva, Natsume Takashi didn't know if the 'monster' behind the shoji gate could communicate, but since the other party silently manipulated the 'Vine' to avoid Fujiwara Toko last night, does it mean that the other party still has room for negotiation.

Takashi Natsume didn't know what the "that child" that Toko Fujiwara brought back from the forest looked like in Toko Fujiwara's eyes, but he thought that there was a large part of the possibility that what Toko Fujiwara saw was a completely different existence from him.

"Could you please get out of here, if you can?"

There was silence inside the shoji gate, not even the sound of breathing, but Takashi Natsume could clearly hear his own breathing and heartbeat, as if his ears were flooded with water and the outside world was blocked, and the world in front of him began to blur , Natsume Takashi staggered and pushed open the barrier door, he heard his panting getting heavier and heavier, as if he was carrying something extremely heavy.

The room was empty.

Natsume Takashi didn't know whether he was relieved or regretful.

He sat slumped on the tatami in the room, as embarrassed as last night, and Natsume Takashi's forehead hair was soaked with cold sweat. Even under the pressure of the monster's pursuit, Natsume Takashi never thought he would appear Such a sweaty body, the feeling is not short-lived, but the mental oppression that will approach you like a nightmare once you start to contact it.

He was obviously unscathed, but he was already exhausted, both mentally and consciously were clamoring for exhaustion, his brain went blank as if on strike, and his body was like a puppet that lost its strings and couldn't move.

Natsume Takashi was silent for a long time before curling up slowly. He couldn't understand the reason for his behavior of pushing the barrier door just now. According to his usual cautious attitude, it is impossible to make such a move rashly, because Determine if pulling the door straight open annoys the being inside, like being attracted to something.

The owner of those eyes...

The mentally tense thread was suddenly loosened because no one was in the room, Natsume Takashi, who hadn't been able to sleep well all night, fell asleep peacefully in this room.

[why. ]

In the dream, I thought of a cold and misty voice, which was close at hand, but seemed to come from far away.

Why……?

Because, I want to protect the Fujiwara couple, these two gentle people.

Natsume Takashi, who feels the tenderness, cannot deny his nostalgia for this place. While the other party's kindness and tolerance make him feel at a loss, it also makes Natsume Takashi want to do something for this couple. His eyes can be seen in this place. Time to come in handy.

But I'm sorry, he who was startled and acted strangely, is really still...

The voice that asked him did not appear again.

But in a vague way, Natsume Takashi seemed to hear some rustling and moving sounds, which made one's scalp numb.

It was Toko Fujiwara who woke him up.

"Your Honor, Your Honor, Your Honor—"

"Wow!" Natsume Takashiru sat up in shock, lifted the quilt on his body, looked at the scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the one prepared for him by the Fujiwara couple The room on the second floor is... his room.

Isn't he in the attic of Fujiwara's house?

"Have dinner, Takashi-kun." Fujiwara Toko was relieved when Natsume Takashi woke up.

"Aunt Tako? This is...?" Takashi Natsume asked with a hoarse voice and a little awkwardly.

"Kishi-kun has been sleeping until now, it's good to wake up now." Toko Fujiwara looked worried, "It must be because I was too tired last night, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me, can you get up and eat now?" ? Do you want to go to the hospital? Although I don’t know if there is anyone in the hospital now.”

"Well, I'm fine." Natsume Takashi didn't want to worry Fujiwara Toko, and if he went to the hospital, it would definitely add a lot of money to the Fujiwara couple.

He tried his best to make himself stand up very quickly, acting as if he was fine. Seeing Natsume Takashi's performance, Fujiwara Toko was still worried, she hesitated to speak, and finally smiled helplessly and rubbed Natsume Takashi Chi's head.

"Then let's go down." Fujiwara Toko's eyes were soft.

Natsume Takashi nodded, followed Fujiwara Toko down to eat, maybe he really slept all day, going to the attic was completely a dream of his, the hungry Natsume Takashi blushed and ate under the gratifying gaze of the Fujiwara couple Ordered three bowls of rice.

Lying on the bed again, Natsume Takashi opened his eyes wide, couldn't fall asleep at all, tossed and turned, and finally got up, made enough mental preparations, and walked towards the attic again.

Just like yesterday night, the windows of the attic were wide open, probably from Fujiwara Toko, there was no sound of wind or insects, it seemed that Yahara in this period—perhaps the entire Kumamoto Prefecture was so quiet.

Natsume Takashi looked at the 'vines' around him, and couldn't be sure whether his dream was really just a dream for a while, but just followed the direction he walked in his 'dream' again, and the 'vines' grew stronger and stronger. The denser and more vibrant 'Crystal Palace' appeared before his eyes once again.

This time he walked very smoothly, those 'vines' seemed to start avoiding his walking route, as long as he didn't touch them intentionally, he wouldn't touch them.

Probably because Natsume Takashi came too early this time, the tableware that had already been eaten and the tray used to put these tableware were still placed in front of the shoji door, and the extra meal prepared by Toko Fujiwara To whom, the answer is already obvious.

"excuse me."

The shoji door slowly opened a gap allowing one eye to look in, and Natsume Takashi met that eye that looked like diluted blood, which was one of the eyes he had met before.

"Wow!"

"Is this scary?"

The shoji door was slowly... It should be said that it was gently opened. A white-haired girl in a light gray windbreaker stood behind the door. She was an out-and-out sick beauty. He covered his mouth with one hand, as if he might cough at any time.

She looked down at Natsume Takashi, who was sitting on the ground, with beautiful and exquisite eyebrows and eyes. She had a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth, but she looked unusually good-looking, but it took it for granted.

"Ahem..." The girl frowned slightly, dressed in a modern attire, even more like a person from the city than Natsume Takashi, only the small corner bag protruding from the forehead, the feather ears, and the figure quietly entrenched in the room behind her. The slender dragon tail attests to the fact that she is not human.

"Are... are you okay?" Natsume Takashi subconsciously used honorifics.

"I'm all right, you're such an interesting person. I was terrified at first, but now I'm starting to care about the person who made you so scared." The girl said in a hoarse voice, "I was worried that you would give Tazi and Zi cause unnecessary trouble."

originally……?

Natsume Takashi put down his hand after seeing the girl as if confirming that she would not cough again.

"But it seems that you are already a part of this family, so I won't make any more plans. After all, that will probably only disturb Tazi." Said, "The Fujiwara couple have great kindness to me, so I will protect this family, that's all."

"You..." Natsume Takashi felt a kind of loneliness from the other party, like the calmness that will not make any noise when he dies in the next second. This calmness seems to be too sad, so that the natural demon power is strong and he can dream of other people's memories Natsume Takashi, who has a strong empathy with dreams and empathy, can't help but feel sad.

But what brings Natsume Takashi more is the kind of calmness and indifference that have settled down after countless winds and rains. It seems that there will be no surprise or bewilderment when anything happens.

"Tazi and Zi are the people who promised me to exist in the world, and I would rather gouge myself than hurt them." The girl said calmly, "You don't have to worry too much...you really look much more energetic than I expected. "

After finishing speaking, the girl turned sideways slightly, and her faint eyes squinted on him, as if to allow him to enter.

"Excuse me!" Natsume Takashi was flattered, and when he walked in, he found that the inside was exactly the same as what he saw in his 'dream'.

"It's not a dream." The girl squinted at him, as if seeing through his thoughts, "I asked Zi to carry you back, and my tentacles will draw any power on their own. This is an instinct that I can't control for the time being. If you can barely limit it to this floor, you have stayed too long in the hunting range of the tentacles below, and you still have powerful demon power, so you have been sucked away too much demon power."

"Is that so?" Takashi Natsume watched the girl turn on the light for him thoughtfully, then took out the cushion from the cabinet and placed it opposite her, and then sat down on her cushion in a regular manner. , couldn't help but relax, so he asked: "If an ordinary person without demon power encounters..."

"Then it will be sucked away of vitality, flesh and bone marrow, and eventually become an empty piece of skin."

Her plain words made Natsume Takashi's hair stand on end, and he jumped up as if hot magma was under his feet.

"Just kidding, thanks to you, the lower horn has grown a little bit."

Takashi Akutagawa gestured how short his horns were before, and changed the subject. Natsume Takashi couldn't see that what she said earlier was a joke, but under the watchful eyes of Ryo Akutagawa, he sat back and listened stiffly. She continued:

"It was just a small bag a few days ago... I really have nothing to repay the kindness of the Fujiwara couple. I can only wait until the corner grows well, and after I can hide my inhuman features, I can go to work to make money to support my family."

Akutagawa Ryo's son had a faint feeling. She seemed to be able to completely control the appearance and disappearance of the fog as long as the horns grew well. She didn't know what that meant, but she only knew that she had become stronger.

What a down-to-earth 'monster', in order to repay his kindness, he works part-time to earn money to subsidize his family or something.

Natsume Takashi couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that the previous tension had been relieved, and felt that it seemed a little funny that he was so nervous.

"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

"No... I'm laughing at myself."

"Huh?" Akutagawa Takashi's son tilted his head like a cat hearing something he couldn't understand, his sad and fierce eyes softened a lot because of this confusion.

"You are obviously a very gentle and calm 'god'." Natsume Takashi's eyes were gentle, and he slightly lowered his body to greet the son of Akutagawa Takashi, "I'm sorry, I was so afraid of you before, when you said those words just now... really I think you will attack humans, and want you to leave the Fujiwara house."

Attacking humans... Hmph, if it's an enemy, then turning them into a layer of skin, she, the son of Akutagawa Ryoko, will not be shaken in the slightest.

"...There is nothing to be sorry for, I let you go before." But 'God'...?She actually said such ridiculous and unrealistic words to her like Tazi, but it is understandable that she will be regarded as a "god" with the characteristics of a dragon. Dragons have special meaning and status in the eyes of oriental people.

"Then why did you change your mind?" Natsume Takashi was stunned, and met those eyes that were more like first cherry blossoms than diluted blood after letting go of guard and fear.

"You are very similar to Tazi and Zi."

If it weren't for those inhuman features who would definitely be able to integrate into this society better than him, Ryuko stretched out his hand and rubbed his head like Fujiwara Toko, Natsume Takashi felt that her movements were obviously more clumsy and youthful than Fujiwara Toko... Also more cautious.

After withdrawing her hand, the girl in front of her closed her fingers a little uncomfortable, and continued: "You can't stay with me for a long time, go back and have a good rest, human beings are fragile."

The son of Akutagawa Takashi, who has learned a thing called "gentleness" from the Fujiwara couple, still doesn't know the meaning of her actions, but seeing the slightly bright eyes of the boy in front of her, she at least realizes that her actions do have meaning Yes, a meaning that was meaningless to her once.

It's like the man with iris eyes who tried everything, used forbidden techniques again and again, turned himself into a monster to save her from the tragic ending, and when that man looked at her, there seemed to be an existence called "gentleness" in his eyes .

It's a pity that at that time, the son of Akutagawa Takashi did not face the man in real body, but as 'Oda Sakunosuke', and she also realized that what this man was watching was 'Oda Sakunosuke'.

So the name 'Odasaku' called by that man did not make Akutagawa Ryoko's son feel any emotional fluctuations, but for that man's help, Akutagawa Ryoko's son was still grateful for that man's wisdom and methods. admiration.

——Mr. Dazai, although I don’t know how you are doing now, is everything in your plan?

The author has something to say:

[The author's remarks]:

Son of Long, when choosing this name, I didn't consider the Japanese pronunciation at all, because although Tazi called "Son of Long", this is what we saw. From Tazi's point of view, they called "Dragon" Son', because it doesn't involve any plot development, it's just a little Cthulhu-like element, so it doesn't hurt to say it in advance.

Just like the names of Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, they are not actually foreign words, but because their real names cannot be spoken in the language of the earth, these names have been obtained through homonyms.

Long, the jade used to pray for rain in ancient times, also has the meaning of the sound of the dragon and the sound of Zhenyu.

The son of Long is homophonic for the son of the dragon.

So there are some hints about Longzi's ability and her sacrificial identity, and the inhuman identity of "Longzi".

If it is an investigator, then only the investigators of our flower planters can get this information the fastest.

[Small theater behind the scenes]:

Keshizai: Oda work!

Ma Jiazhi: ... Dazai.

Ke Department Zai:?

Ma Jiazhi: Why did you hug Akutagawa when you called me.

Keshijae: Because it's double the fun!

The son of Long who was hugged by Ke Xizai under the cloak: ... (Mr. Dazai, you are hugging too tightly, I really can't run away, I really can't run away)

Ma Jiazhi: Are you awake?

Ke Xizai: Why do people have to live soberly?Odasaku, are you sure that you are clearly alive?Why do you think about things that make you miserable?The truth and reality are not important, but the chaos like me, still alive-pain, this alone is enough pain!If there is no way out.

Ma Jiazhi: You are right, but please put down Akutagawa from our Armed Detective Agency, you are robbing.

Ke Xizai: Discuss?I treat you to a year's worth of spicy curry.

Ma Jiazhi: ...There is nothing to discuss, please don't try to bribe Butei club members.
