The child who appeared suddenly looked very strange. He looked about the age of elementary school, but he was wearing adult clothes—sleeves and trousers were too long, and even one of his shoes fell off because he ran too fast.

It's a pity that the poor child has never activated Dazai's sympathy.

Even seeing the annoying kid in Oz's arms, Dazai's aura became dangerous.

Inexplicably, he felt a chill in his neck, and the panicked child slipped and fell to Ozzy's chest.

Dazai: "..."

Ozzy patted the child on the back lightly, and looked in the direction he came from.

A creature of unusual size was running towards them, and it appeared to be chasing the child.

Seeing that the creatures had no intention of being afraid of them, Oz picked up the child and let him sit on his arms, frowning as he looked at the creatures that screeched to a stop not far from them.

Oz: "Is it chasing you?"

The child in his arms shrank for a while, looked down nervously at the ground, then turned pale, hugged Ozzy's neck and tremblingly said: "Yes, it is it...it can talk..."

Dazai, who heard the words next to him, kicked a small stone in the direction of the unknown creature, and seemed to want to laugh: "Can talk? This dyed pig?"

"You're a pig! See clearly! I'm a fat cat only because it's fluffy!"

I was so offended that the cat bared its teeth, and the fur on its body exploded. It really looked like a kitten that went mad, no, a fat cat.

Hearing the sound of the cat, the child was obviously more frightened. He held on to Ozzy tightly. When he raised his eyes, he was startled by the half-faced bandaged man who suddenly approached, and almost fell off Ozzy.

"Wow!"

"Hey, let me go!" Dazai snorted unceremoniously.

The child looked at his hand and found that he had caught Ozzy's hair, so he hurriedly let go and apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention..."

Oz rubbed the child's hair and smiled: "It's okay, you didn't scratch me."

Dazai: "..."

Ozzy noticed the vague gaze behind him, turned his head, puzzled: "Dazai? What's wrong?"

Dazai: "Tsk."

"Hey! Natsume! Hurry up and get away from those two dangerous guys!" The cat called to the child in Oz's arms, and instinctively made it feel a bad breath from the person in front of him.

But Natsume suddenly had an accident——

Seeing that the child looked afraid of him, the cat became even more annoyed: "Natsume! Didn't you hear me!"

This cat seems to be very related to this child, Ozzy thought about it, and patted the child's back lightly: "Your name is Natsume?"

The child hesitated, but nodded anyway.

He just wanted to persuade Ozzy and the two to leave quickly, but it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and Natsume's face showed a trace of excitement: "Aren't you afraid? Could it be that you can also see monsters?"

Oz didn't know how to answer, so he could only say "ah".

Natsume's expression became even more excited, and there was even a layer of mist in his eyes.

But now is not the time for small talk.

Ozzy looked at the cat and asked, "You know him? Since you can name him, you must know him."

Natsume quickly added in a low voice: "Maybe I heard my name from other monsters. There were many monsters who liked to play tricks on me..."

"How dare you doubt me?! Natsume, if you don't come back, Toko will be worried!"

"I, I don't know any Tazi either!"

It seems that the adult in front of him gave Natsume a little courage to refute what the cat said loudly.

Oz continued to ask: "You are a monster, right? Why are you following a child?"

"None of your business! Put Natsume down quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Dazai scratched his ears aside, he was in a bad mood after being disturbed by the noisy cat.

Dazai usually doesn't seem to be interested in small animals, let alone this kind of monster that has turned into a strange creature.

He knelt down, took out a small dagger out of nowhere, and skillfully twirled the dagger in his hand.

The sharp dagger gleamed coldly in the sun.

Dazai looked up at Ozzy: "It's so noisy, it's more annoying than a dog."

The invisible threat made the cat's body stiff.

"Dazai." Oz whispered, he didn't like Dazai's behavior, so he sounded a reminder.

Dazai gave another "tsk" and put away the dagger, his expression changed from impatience to a fake bright smile.

"I remember that monsters eat humans, right? Why, follow a kid and treat him as a food reserve?"

Natsume shuddered and buried his head in Ozzy's neck.

Dazai: "... Ozzy, since they know each other, let's hand this kid over to the cat monster."

It has begun, Dazai-style unreasonable trouble.

Oz automatically ignored his words, and said to the cat: "If you want to eat this child, I advise you to give up on it."

Hearing the words, the cat became irritable again, and even bounced back, trying to give Ozzy and Dazai a set of meow punches.

Soon, following behind the cat, several panting students ran up. They were wearing school uniforms and seemed to have just finished class.

It can be recognized from the smell on them. Unlike cats, these students are human beings.

They came to the back of the cat and saw Natsume in Oz's arms at a glance.

The two students, a man and a woman, looked at each other, they could only carefully approach the cat, and hugged the cat with a stiff smile.

"Damn Sansan? What's going on? Why is Natsume at the place of an unknown adult?"

"Is it Natsume's relative? That man with the bandage is a bit weird."

Looks like someone who knows cats.

Ozzy wanted to exchange ideas with Dazai, but found that Dazai had his hands in his pockets and didn't respond to him at all.

……What's going on?

Oz couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh secretly, planning to settle the matter before he could talk to Dazai.

The two human students who joined seemed to be a little hesitant. They secretly talked to the cat while avoiding their eyes, not wanting Ozzy and Dazai to find out.

But after they heard from the cat that Ozzy and Dazai actually knew its identity as a monster, the eyes of the two immediately turned into the same astonishment as Natsume, with a little touch?

The boy claimed to be Kaname Tanuma, the girl said she was Toru, and both of them were Natsume's classmates, and this cat monster was Natsume's bodyguard all the time—but Natsume just shook his head, saying that he didn't know them.

Natsume, who had been in a state of high tension, became tired visibly with the naked eye. He lay on Ozzy's shoulder and yelled frequently, forcing himself to be vigilant against the guys in front of him who said they knew him.

Two students said Natsume came home with the cat after class and encountered a strange monster on the way.

Natsume didn't recognize it as a Yokai at first, because the Yokai's entire head was protruding from a giant jar.After the monster found Natsume approaching, he asked Natsume to help him out of the jar.

As a result, after Natsume helped him, what came out of the jar was a monster with no face and the whole head was made of wood!

The monster who thought he had been helped decided to repay such a kind human child, so regardless of Natsume's own wishes, he cast a spell to change Natsume into what it is now.

"Rejuvenation," Oz rubbed his chin. In magic, these kinds of spells are some uncomfortable forbidden spells. I didn't expect the monsters here to have such powerful power. No wonder the owner of the monster list would also live Here, "I can't quite take your word for it yet."

He dragged Natsume, who was about to slip off his body, so that the sleepy child could rest comfortably on his shoulders.

"But if what you said is true, then this matter will be settled easily."

Oz thought it over and proposed two solutions.

"As far as I know, the conditions for the success of spells such as rejuvenation are very strict. Natsume does have some monsters on him. If I'm right, the spells of unknown monsters should last for two to three days at most. , so we will wait here for Natsume to recover, and he will leave after confirming that he knows you.”

Natsume's classmate Tanuma looked at Duogui Tou with some hesitation: "It seems feasible, Aunt Toko—ah, that's where Natsume is currently using. Aunt Toko's side can be said that Natsume will play at my house for two days before going back. , the school can only ask for leave."

"It's possible to be a ghost!" In the arms of Toru, the cat monster struggled and jumped up to scratch Tanuma Kaname's hair, "How can you put Natsume next to a dangerous person!"

Duogui Tou also agrees with the cat monster's words: "Indeed...we don't know you either, so we can't just let Natsume-san follow you these few days."

"Since they know each other, I think it's better to hand the kid over to them."

"Dazai! Don't be willful."

"Who is being capricious? Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip this time? When we encounter an incident, we must help others to solve it. My problem can only be ranked after everyone, right?"

Ozzy didn't know how to refute for a while because of the rather rude speech, he didn't put others ahead of Dazai as Dazai thought.

But judging from the current situation, it is true that he is meddling in other people's affairs, and instead put the finding of a way to make Dazai into a human being in a less conspicuous place.

"Ah..." Ozzy's hands tightened, and he opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only apologize softly, and then smiled wryly, "It's my problem, but I didn't expect Dazai to be so urgent, I'm sorry."

"I'm not—" Dazai's words stopped abruptly, he looked away, pursed his lips, and clenched his hands into fists in pockets that Ozzy couldn't see.

"never mind."

After finishing speaking, Dazai simply put away all his expressions, and passed Ozzy silently.

Dazai is like this every time he is angry, he expresses all his emotions with silence, and never bothers to express his dissatisfaction in words.

Although the time with Dazai is not long, Ozzy has already felt his temper.

Dazai was angry.

It seems that he really doesn't like the identity of the blood race.

Oz scratched his face helplessly, his smile contained bitterness that he couldn't see.

He wants to catch up, but the matter in front of him is also very important, he doesn't want to easily hand over the human life to the cannibal monster.

"Dazai!"

Oz took a deep breath, and shouted at Dazai who had gone away.

"You know the booked hotel! There is a delicious barbecue restaurant in the evening! Meet at the barbecue restaurant in the afternoon, okay!"

Osamu Dazai paused, without turning back, and continued to walk forward.

Ozzy didn't know whether it meant agreeing or not, so he could only hope for a way to find Dazai with his scent, and apologize properly at that time.

"Time is a bit tight," he smiled at the magical combination of two students, a cat demon, and a child, "then use the second method, find that monster, and let it transform Natsume back. "

The author has something to say:

Quarrel!Noise to mom!
