Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

Like her elder brother Natsume Takashi, Natsume Chiaya can see strange things.Those things should be commonly known as "monsters". [note 1]

At the beginning, Natsume Chiaya and her elder brother were still troubled by this. They were even regarded as children who loved to lie. After their parents passed away, they were moved among relatives, and finally they were lucky enough to be adopted by Fujiwara Shigeru and Fujiwara Toko.

But later, they inherited the "Book of Friends" of their grandmother Natsume Reiko, met the big monster cat teacher "Blade" who said that he wanted the Book of Friends but became their bodyguard, and made many monster friends. Not to mention an "adventure".

The Book of Friends is a contract book in which the names of countless monsters are written. It is said that owning the Book of Friends can control the monsters on it.In order to prevent the account of friends from being used by people with bad intentions or monsters, and also want to know about grandma's past, Natsume Chiaya and her brother decided to return the name to the monsters.

It was a really long and arduous process.From the age of 15 to 22, seven years and countless stories, they finally repaid their thick friendship.

There is only one name left, and it is still lying quietly in the account of friends.

Natsume Qianling lowered her head, stared at the friend account in her hand, and wondered, where is this monster?

"Dong dong", the door was knocked from the outside, and my brother's gentle voice came——

"Qianya, may I come in?"

"Of course, brother, please come in."

The door was opened, and the first thing that came in was a chubby three-colored cat.He was still muttering: "Qianling, steamed buns! Steamed buns! Seven Tsujiya's steamed buns! You promised me last night, don't go back on your word!"

Afterwards, a delicate and gentle young man walked in. He smiled slightly, like a bright moon and a breeze, gentle but untouchable.Natsume Chiaya and Natsume Takashi siblings both have brown hair and amber eyes, but Natsume Takashi has short hair and cat pupils, while Natsume Takashi has long hair and phoenix eyes.

Although they are twins, they are not very similar.According to the cat teacher, Natsume Takashi looks like his grandmother Natsume Reiko, while Natsume Chiaya is more like her grandfather.But when they asked who the grandfather was, Mr. Cat refused to disclose any information.

Takashi Natsume asked helplessly: "Qianling, why did you agree to Teacher Cat again?" Obviously, they reached a consensus two days ago to help Teacher Cat lose weight.

Before Natsume Qianling could speak, Teacher Cat snorted and said, "Do you think Qianling is as ruthless as a devil like you?"

"I don't want to be called a 'devil' by monsters." Natsume Takashi retorted, kneeling in front of Natsume Chiaya.

Natsume Qianling couldn't help laughing, and said: "Last night, a monster came to steal a friend's account and was chased away by the teacher, so I promised to buy him steamed buns."

"A monster?" Natsume Takashi immediately asked nervously: "Qianya, are you okay? Why didn't you call me?" Even though he knew that Natsume Chiaya was much higher than him in terms of combat effectiveness, Natsume Takashi would still Can't help worrying.

He blamed himself a little: "I slept too deeply. Why don't you keep it with me in the friend account? That way you can sleep well at night."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine with Teacher Kitty here." Amidst the background sound of Teacher Kitty's proud "that kind of small shrimp is completely worthless", Natsume Qianling shook her head with a smile: "It was agreed at the beginning, every day We take turns to keep the friend account for a week, and I will not break my promise."

At the beginning, Natsume Chiaya and Natsume Takashi had a lot of disputes about who kept the friend account - no one wanted to let their brother/sister be chased and hurt by monsters.Later, they barely reached a consensus, one person for a week.That being said, they are rarely apart in reality.Even in college, the two were admitted to the University of Tokyo together.

Knowing his sister's stubbornness, Natsume Takashi sighed, and instead of persuading her, he said, "Are you ready? The banquet over there is about to start."

"Yeah!" Natsume Qianling replied with a smile, "Let's go, brother."

Two days after she and her brother came back from graduation, the monsters in Yayuan Forest proposed to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Thinking of the past four years, when they spent most of their time studying in Tokyo, the brothers and sisters did not refuse the kindness of the monsters.

Natsume Chia maintained the habit she had developed since taking over the account of friends, carefully put the account of friends into the shoulder bag, then bent down to pick up Mr. Kitty, and the heavy weight in her hand made Natsume Chia sigh with emotion: "Teacher Cat, you You really need to lose weight."

Teacher Cat slapped Natsume Qianling's shoulder with a meowing fist in dissatisfaction: "Nonsense! This is Dong Mao, do you understand!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Kitty is not fat, you are just fluffy." Natsume Chiaya rolled her eyes in a good-tempered manner.

Teacher Cat snorted, "That's about the same. Let's go! I want to drink! I want steamed buns!"

Natsume Takashi complained: "What winter hair? It's obviously only summer now."

"Natsume, you talk a lot of nonsense." The cat teacher jumped from Natsume Qianling's arms to Natsume Takashi's shoulder, causing half of his shoulder to crooked.

Natsume Takashi was caught off guard: "It's so heavy!"

"Obviously you are still like bean sprouts." Teacher Cat said while licking his paws leisurely.

"Cat teacher!"

"..."

Seeing a person and a cat fighting and going downstairs, Natsume Qianling laughed loudly and followed behind them.

Aunt Tazi poked her head out from the kitchen: "Kizhi-kun, Qianling sauce, do you want to go out?"

Uncle Zi was reading the newspaper, and he also looked at them when he heard the words.

Natsume Chiaya nodded: "Well, I haven't been back for a long time, I'm going out for a stroll. We'll be back before dinner."

Shigeru Fujiwara agreed: "That's right, it's time to go out for a stroll. The scenery of Yayuan, no matter how long you look at it, will always feel fresh."

He had no intention of pursuing what they were going to do at all, but instead joked with Natsume Chiling and Natsume Takashi: "Qianling-chan, Mr. Takashi, remember to bring a souvenir when you come back. I want you to be the first thing you meet with your hat when you go out." a branch."

Toko Fujiwara thought about it seriously: "Indeed, it's summer after all, you should wear a hat when you go out. Well, Qianya-chan and bring an umbrella, girls' skin needs to be taken good care of."

"Hey!" Natsume Takashi stopped the "fight" with the cat teacher, and responded to Fujiwara Toko's words: "I'm going to get my hat and sun umbrella."

"Brother, you don't need to take an umbrella, just wear a sun hat. It's also very comfortable to bask in the sun, isn't it?" Natsume Qianling said, "Aunt Tazi has a rest, and my brother and I will come back to help after dinner."

"It's okay, when you get home, you have to rest for a few days first. Besides, I'm very happy to be able to cook dinner for Kishi-kun and Chiya-chan." Fujiwara Toko pushed the two out: "Go, have fun point."

"Heh heh, I'm coming for fine wine!"

Teacher Cat couldn't wait a long time ago, Natsume Takashi just put the sun hat on Natsume Chiaya's head, opened the door, and he ran out like a wild horse.Natsume Takashi didn't even have time to put on his hat, so he hurried after Mr. Kitty.Natsume Chiaya waved to Toko Fujiwara and Shigeru Fujiwara, trotting to catch up with her brother and Mr. Kitty.

Looking at the back of the two and the cat, Toko Fujiwara sighed softly: "In a blink of an eye, they are all so big."

Fujiwara Shigeru picked up the newspaper again, and echoed: "Yes, I remember when the two of them first came, they were still small and thin. Now, they have become big children."

Shigeru Fujiwara said, thinking of the girl he met when he was young.He thought to himself, those two children are very similar to Reiko.

The pace of life in Yahara is very slow. Fields, mountains, rivers and forests are the most beautiful scenery here.

Teacher Cat took small steps excitedly, jumped directly into the group of monsters, held a bottle of wine, and began to enjoy: "Huh—good wine~is~happiness~"

Teacher Cat sang in tune, causing the curly purple hair and wearing a kimono to stare at him: "Madara, you'd better shut up!"

The big-headed moustache grumbled, "Waste the good wine."

Bing didn't bother to talk to the two of them, and smiled at Natsume Chiling and Natsume Takashi: "Natsume, Qianling, you are here." Bing hates men, and Natsume Takashi is the only exception.As for Natsume Chiaya, since she is Natsume Reiko's granddaughter and also a sweet and soft girl, she is especially fond of her.

The two middle-level monsters with one-eyed one-horn and the bull's head shouted cheerfully: "Master Natsume, Master Qian Ling."

"His Highness Natsume, His Highness Qian Ling." The huge swamp lord Sanxiao greeted.

The little fox, who still couldn't hide his ears and tail, rushed over and hugged Takashi Natsume: "Natsume, I miss you and Qian Ling so much!"

Natsume Takashi touched the little fox's head: "Well, long time no see."

"Okay, Natsume, Qianling, don't just sit down and chat. Come, sit down and enjoy the food." Bing put one hand on Natsume Qianling's shoulders, and led her to sit down, holding a pipe in one hand, but She doesn't smoke, she knows that Natsume Chiaya is not used to the smell of smoke.

Natsume Chiya sat next to Natsume Takashi, and the monsters raised their wine glasses at them, smiling sincerely and naively: "Natsume-sama, Chiya-sama, welcome back!"

There was a lot of laughter, and Natsume Qianling saw the cat teacher buried the whole cat in the wine, saw Intermediate A and Intermediate B boldly rubbing against Sanxiao and making a fuss, and also saw that her brother was laughing, laughing freely and without any scruples.

She touched the corner of her mouth, where there was also a slight arc.

return--

That's right, Natsume Chiaya thought, Yahara is her and her brother's home.Their families, their friends, are all here.There is no place that is more worthy of their nostalgia than here.

Afterwards, the monsters went crazy. I don't know who it was, and suggested playing hide-and-seek, and plausibly said, "Help Natsume-sama and Chiya-sama remember their childhood".

The one who was the "ghost" was the unlucky winner of the mustache. He slowly covered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Before Natsume Qianling could hold her brother's hand, she was taken away by Bing Feng.

Bing covered her tightly, and said with nostalgia: "Reiko played this kind of game with us before." After a pause, she smiled again: "The winner this time is definitely Qianling!"

"Okay, thank you Bing." Natsume Qianling smiled at Bing, and huddled in the jungle obediently.This place can only accommodate one person, Bing didn't stay long, and soon went to find his own hiding place.

The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, and even the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the blades was so clear that it seemed to be in the ear.The distant chirping of cicadas came one after another, very rhythmic and lulling people to sleep.The afternoon sun had already been filtered by the lush forest, and with the cover made by Bing, only a few pieces of gold occasionally fell in, illuminating the small and dark space.

Natsume Chiling's eyelids gradually became heavy, and her head nodded momentarily.Bing found it here, and she was not worried that people would not find her, so she hugged the shoulder bag with the friend account in her arms and fell asleep peacefully.

When she wakes up, the game should be over, right?Before falling asleep, Natsume Chiaya thought vaguely.

She didn't notice that the friend account in the shoulder bag was slightly bright.

This space is quieter.On the ground where Bing had carefully spread hay, only a pure white sun hat remained.

"..."

"Qianya?"

"Master Qianya?"

"Qianya, where are you?"

Natsume Takashi and many youkai shouted loudly.Natsume Takashi tightly pursed the corners of his mouth, and when he lowered his face, those amber cat pupils became as pale as thin ice.

Bing pinched Natsume Qianling's sun hat until his fingers turned white: "Why didn't it disappear? I hid Qianling with my own hands."

Natsume Chiaya is not a mischievous character, it is absolutely impossible to run out by herself and hide in a corner.

"Could it be made by a monster coveting a friend's account?" Natsume Takashi recalled that Natsume Qianling said before going out that a monster came to snatch a friend's account last night: "Is it the monster from last night?"

Teacher Cat denied it immediately: "I have swallowed that monster long ago."

"Is it possible to be an accomplice?" Mustache asked.

Teacher Cat wrinkled his face, this time he was not too sure: "It's hard to say." He circled around a little irritatedly: "Really, Qianling is an idiot! Natsume, you are also an idiot! There is only one name left in the account of friends. Just leave it to me, okay?"

Natsume Takashi slammed his fist on the head of Mr. Cat, but fortunately he knew that Mr. Cat's words were not literal, so he withdrew his strength and said, "Teacher, you didn't do a good job as a bodyguard, you have lost all your Nanatsujiya steamed buns this month! "

Teacher Cat was hit dizzy.

Suddenly, the voice of Intermediate A came from a distance: "Master Natsume, there is a human here!"

Intermediate B: "Human! Human!"

Natsume Takashi was startled, and hurried over.Not far from where Natsume Chiaya disappeared, lay a man with short reddish-brown hair.Blood stained his windbreaker, staining it red.
