Although Natsume Takashi has no parents, he has always regarded the Fujiwara couple who adopted him as the most important family members.

As he grew older, Fujiwara's parents often mentioned the topic of blind dates to be prepared for him.However, Natsume politely declined.He knew that his conditions were special. For a person without parents, it would be difficult for the other's parents to trust their daughter to him.

Moreover, apart from being able to see monsters, he has no other special abilities.

Because her academic performance was not outstanding enough, and she didn't want to bother the Fujiwara couple anymore, after finishing high school, she found a job in the town. Although the salary was not very high, it was not a big problem to support herself.Although, Natsume has considered moving out, after all, he has been bothered for so many years, and he is now an adult, so he can't bother Aunt Tako and the others for the rest of his life.

However, Aunt Tazi left behind.

It is said that they lived with them before they got married. Anyway, one more person is just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

In their eyes, Natsume is like their child.

It feels good to be loved, and Natsume is grateful.However, as the Fujiwara couple got older and their pensions were not very large, Natsume hoped that they could spend the money on themselves.

Moreover, they are naturally attracted to monsters, they are all old, and some monsters can't catch him, so it is inevitable that they will not want to attack people he cares about.Considering safety issues, Natsume thought it would be better to keep a certain distance from the Fujiwara couple.

So, when I saw the information on the Internet, I paid a little attention and came up with this idea.Natsume wanted to reassure the Fujiwara couple, so that they no longer worry about their marital problems, and they can find a reason to move out by the way.

The people he entrusts are easy to discern.Although we haven't met each other, there are not many buses to this small town. Knowing the time of the bus, we waited at the platform in advance.

Most of the residents living here are dressed in plain clothes, even the girls are a little more simple and honest, and their work is no worse than that of boys.

A young woman got off the train, her long boots covered her calves, she was wearing a beautiful little padded jacket, her hair was curly and wavy, and her skin was ivory-colored. The moment she got off the train, Under the sun, the skin is crystal clear and translucent. It is the complexion that has not been exposed to the sun in the house all year round. When I got out of the car, my eyes were slightly confused, and I looked around in a daze.

It is not difficult to see that it is someone who has just arrived at this place.

"Natsume, she is a pretty woman."

A cat in Natsume's arms licked the fur on its paws, its eyes were round and interested.

"I see, Mr. Kitty." Natsume didn't have much feeling for a woman's appearance.Although it is very rude, there are many beautiful banshees among the monsters, and some of them were peerless beauties who shocked the time when they were alive.

I am used to seeing monsters, so I don't care much about the aesthetics of reality.

But it seemed that she was a nice person. Natsume walked over and asked softly. Sure enough, she was right as I guessed, she was sent by the rental company.

"Let me carry it for you." A thin woman was carrying a heavy suitcase in her hands. Natsume couldn't see it, Xing politely evaded a few words, and asked Natsume to help carry it.

The place where Natsume lives is a small town far away from the city, where there are still many gravel paths.

Even in the center of the town, there were not many residents. Near noon, Natsume took Xing and had a simple meal in a small restaurant in the town.

"I'm sorry, the food here can't compare to the food in big cities." Most of the residents in the town are simple, and they basically eat more at home. There are only a few restaurants in the town, and the variety is naturally not as good as that in the city.

Two or three small dishes, white rice, the restaurant is not very new, the room is filled with a faint smell of oil, but the table looks very clean.

Xing came all the way, almost didn't eat anything, her stomach was empty, and she felt that the food was extraordinarily delicious.

"No, this is already pretty good." Xing smiled understandingly.

Natsume's house is not far from the town, it is a two-story house.

"Uncle and aunt, they have been out for the past two days and they won't be back until two days later." Natsume also received the notice temporarily, but Xing was already on the way at that time.

"Sorry, I will pay according to the time." Natsume hurriedly explained, Xing shook her head, this time the main purpose of coming here was not to make money, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled lightly, "No, just provide board and lodging. .”

Because the rooms are often unoccupied, even if the windows are opened for ventilation, there is still a faint musty smell.Natsume gave up her room to Kyoko, and moved to the guest room herself.

Natsume only took half a day off, and still had to go to work in the afternoon, so Xing asked Xing to watch TV at home first, rest for a while, or go shopping in a nearby town, and he would bring food back in the evening.

It's a rare trip to the countryside, Xing must not be able to sit still.Changing into a pair of flat shoes, Xing ran out.

The town is not very big, I walked through it once when I came here, and I can feel the general direction clearly.

Accustomed to the prosperity of the city, the small shops in the town feel very novel.There are no comprehensive shopping malls here, and they are usually small shops opened by their own families. The first floor is for business, and the second floor is where they live.

Most of them sell the most basic daily necessities and seasonal fresh food.

I bought a bottle of water in the small supermarket, and the aunt who sold it brought a bottle in the direction Xing pointed, "Little girl, it's Natsume's girlfriend."

"Natsume-kun." Xing smiled and quickly realized. "How does Auntie know?"

"Our town is small, so we basically know each other. I saw you and Natsume-kun walking together just now." The proprietress was a fat woman. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to be squinted together, forming a thin slit.

"By the way, seeing that Natsume-kun has finally found a partner, Tako must be happy too." The proprietress rubbed her face and smiled.

Apparently the proprietress knew Natsume-kun's family, and before leaving, she forced a bag of candies into Xing's arms.

It should have just rained here yesterday, the ground is half dry, and there are still a lot of water stains in the shade.

"That big sister is so beautiful." Compared with the clothes in the town, Xing is much more fashionable. Although she is beautiful, she is a bit abrupt in the town.

Xing laughed awkwardly.

After thinking about it, I decided to go for a drive in a relatively remote place, so as not to mention Natsume-kun everywhere.We just met once, and many things are not clear, if we slip up, the plan may be ruined.

Follow a gravel path to the woods.

Xing saw it on the second floor of Natsume's house, and there was a pretty big lake nearby.

There are few natural lakes in the city, most of them are man-made, or a long river, and there are people everywhere, and there is no mood to enjoy the scenery quietly.

Fortunately, there was an approximate navigation location on the phone, Xing followed the road for nearly half an hour, and found the place.

Places with water will be much cooler than ordinary ground, especially in winter, the closer to the water surface, the colder it will be.

The lake is surrounded by a circle of trees, and its reflection in the water is a dark shadow.The lake is too calm, like a mirror.

Suddenly, Xing seemed to hear something. Xing glanced around subconsciously, but there was almost no sound, and he could only see a few figures walking around the lake from a distance.

Looking at it, it should look like a nearby resident.

It was still early, and when I went back at this time, I was only faced with an empty house.Xing sighed, and walked slowly towards the water.

The water looks clear and transparent from a distance, but close contact is more like the fairy spirit mentioned in TV dramas.

The reflection in the water is your own shadow.

Because no one here saw it, Xing inevitably looked at the lake twice more.Slender and long eyebrows, delicate facial features, a slight frown, a pitiful expression.

Xing watched, couldn't help hooking her lips, and smiled.

"That's a human being."

"It smells like it's not from here."

From behind the bushes, two children-sized people suddenly appeared, wearing simple white kimonos, they looked like ordinary children at first glance, but they had no faces, and there were only a few symbols on their plain white faces.There was no shadow behind them, and there was almost no sound even when they moved their bodies.

Moreover, even at such a close distance, Xing couldn't hear their words.

They are not human beings, but little demons living here.

"Is it a bad guy?" One of the taller demons said, "It looks very beautiful." Just like humans love beautiful things, monsters also have different emotions towards beautiful humans.

"What are you talking about." The monster next to him knocked his head hard, "Human beings are all bad guys, don't you remember that a few years ago, someone said that he wanted to level this place?"

Although it is remote here, the scenery is good. Many developers have considered developing tourism resources here.However, once development is involved, it will inevitably affect the original appearance here.

Moreover, for the little demons living here, if a large group of humans come over, they will take away all the places they have.

They are used to this peaceful town, and they will use the terrain advantage to cover their tracks.Although humans can't see their appearance, but for monsters, this is a rare pure land.

At most, a few humans broke in occasionally, but as long as they were frightened, they could be expelled.

"That's right." If it wasn't for them, they scared away the person who came to investigate together, or the lake would have been filled up, and all the trees here would be bare, just to build more buildings that humans like thing.

"Let's drive them away this time too." The shorter monster suggested.

"Should we discuss it with my brother?" The taller little demon couldn't decide.Their family is huge, with many brothers and sisters, but they all listen to the advice of the oldest brother.

"There is nothing to discuss, just tease her a little bit and drive her away."

Being teased by his brother, the taller one nodded. Anyway, they did this to protect the forest. I believe my brother will not blame them.

"We'll push her later." The two little demons discussed their opinions.

With earphones plugged into her ears, she was listening to her favorite light music, and she happened to be carrying the candy from the supermarket proprietress. Xing peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweet taste permeated between her lips and teeth.

She squatted on the side, staring at the blue sky, never noticing the two little demons standing behind her.

The tall little demon is called Mao, he still hesitated, but under the glaring gaze of his younger brother Wu, he still stretched out his hand, and the two little demons worked together to touch Xing's back.

Suddenly, Xing felt something was wrong, she felt a sudden strong force behind her, she turned her head subconsciously, but she couldn't see anything, her fingers stretched out, and she struggled to get back to the ground, but she couldn't control her body at all, and fell headlong go down.

Biting cold spread in the body, Xing finally seemed to see something.
