[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

The two beautiful boys with the same gentle and healing aura looked at each other with smiles, and the surrounding air seemed to become more and more warm and peaceful for a while, which was unbearable to break.

However, a galloping black shadow completely destroyed this picture full of indescribable beauty in a flash——

"Meow, Natsume! You bastard! You promised to go buy Nanatsujiya's steamed buns after school?! Leave me and run away, you want to do meow!"

The ball-like enigmatic (?) black shadow rushed from far and near with a large wave of smoke and dust visible to the naked eye. While jumping up and rushing towards Natsume, he opened his throat loudly, uh, roaring= =

Natsume was stumbled by the huge force brought by the opponent's impact into his arms: =_=

Kurama who was interrupted by the beautiful reunion moment: =_=

Mokona, who was hugged by Kurama and smiled as if he was not affected by anything: o(∩_∩)o, the mysterious black figure who showed his real body—Mr. Kitty—was lying in Natsume’s arms, relentless, Claws scratched their heads and arched: "Mantou! Mantou! Seven Tsuji Mantou!"

Natsume got a headache from the noise.

"I know teacher, can I take you to buy it later? Can you please be quiet now..."

He reluctantly picked up the chubby cat in both hands, and held him a little farther away, letting the fat and short four legs kick and kick in the air randomly.

The cat teacher who was being shunned glared at him.

"...Okay. I'll forgive you this time." After a while, he hummed reluctantly.

Turning his head, it seemed that he was finally willing to give Kurama a little attention, and the big monster wearing the maneki neko skin tried his best to make a look, "Oh, so you are here too, I just saw you, who made you feel so special?" It's not my fault that this cliff is thin ╮(╯▽╰)╭" look: "Yo, isn't this who. Why are you back?"

——At first glance, the choice of words and sentences seems very unfriendly.The demon fox touched his chin.

"What happened after I left?" He thought for a while and asked.

Although Madara doesn't get along well with him naturally because he is also a big monster, but the two of them got along pretty well in the past. Under normal circumstances, he definitely shouldn't react this way when he first saw him. Therefore, Zangma guessed that there must be some follow-up to the incident when he left this world when his family broke into the earl's pet shop. The earl who followed him and left here temporarily did not know, or understood, but did not mention to himself.

And sure enough, after hearing his question, Madara's eyes immediately narrowed slightly dangerously!

"What else could happen?" He snorted angrily, "Those guys from the Yichangyimen don't know why they went crazy. Since you left, they deliberately came to trouble this idiot several times. If it wasn't for the presence of my uncle, No matter how many lives this AHO project has, it’s not enough to lose! So hurry up and tell me honestly what you did before you left, and how did you attract so much hatred?”

"...I said it's not AHO, but you should listen to what he said, teacher!"

"The point that needs to be paid attention to is here, AHO! I'm about to be implicated to death, but you should also investigate the reason for me, idiot!"

"Who is an idiot! Those few attacks were not necessarily caused by Kurama, right? I have never been very clear about what Mr. Chang was thinking, and he was not the first to target us for incomprehensible reasons." This time, so who knows if those things that happened at that time were just a coincidence in time? Teacher, don’t use a questioning tone as soon as you come up, okay! This is not Kurama’s fault.”

"...Huh." Madara turned his head angrily, even he had to admit that his tone of voice that sounded like asking a teacher to blame at the beginning was really not good, but he didn't think about who he was doing it for!

Even if it is known that the culprit is Chang Yimen, even if there is Kurama in it, it is only a small inducement at best, but the attacks that Natsume encountered at that time were really dangerous, okay?

Even if Madara was inseparable by his side, not daring to relax at all times and always vigilant, there were a few times where the other party almost succeeded and took Natsume away.

Madara had a hunch that if he really let the other party succeed at that time, the treatment Natsume received would definitely not be the same as the time he was trapped in the Chang family's mansion. ...

Gee.

I really don't even want to think about the consequences.

But Natsume is an idiot who doesn't have any sense of crisis at all, and still deals with people on the other side of the field from time to time because of some monsters, Madara is really worried about this-whether this silly boy can grow up Heart!Who would be a good person in the field after being attacked like that?

Why didn't you know to stay away from them?

Although his stupid innocence and stubbornness are what attracted Madara the most, but at the same time, it was also what gave him the most headaches...

Out of the corner of his eye, he peeped at Natsume with a helpless and apologetic smile on Kurama's face after he turned his head away. Madara took a deep breath, making up his mind that before the other party took the initiative to express his favor, he would Don't talk to him again!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Kurama, who was left alone (cough!) by the two of them for a while, stood up with a smile to smooth things over: "Well, I probably know something about what Mao Maochan said..."

Then he roughly explained to the two of them the attack on the pet store that happened when he left. He heard that he and Mokona were almost separated because of that attack, and Mokona was almost injured because of it. There was still obvious worry and concern on Madara's face, Yaohu bent the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and comforted the two of them: "Fortunately, everything was safe and sound in the end. It was a little trouble, but it went very smoothly afterwards. Shortly afterwards, I successfully reunited with Mokona, and then reconnected with the earl from Miss Yuko—seeing that he is fine, I am completely relieved."

Having said that, Zang Ma paused.

"Speaking of it," he mused, "about the attack, how did the Earl deal with it after I left? He told me vaguely, and he only mentioned it in general so that I don't have to worry about it, but he didn't say anything about it in detail. Said, at that time, I thought he was probably afraid of my self-blame, so I didn't want to say more, but now that I think about it, maybe there is something hidden in it..."

- Think about it too.

Given how much the Earl attached importance to Tibetan horses and Mokona at that time, how could he easily let such a serious "accident" happen that nearly caused serious injuries to both of them, and even might be deeply trapped in the turbulence of time and space from which they could never return. up?

Although he didn't explain to Kurama, the count must have done something at that time.

And perhaps it was precisely because of this that Natsume was attacked one after another by Chang Yimen in the follow-up—Kurama and Mokona could not be found, and the earl could not be found. "When it comes to their whereabouts as if the world has evaporated, they still want to get rid of the means left by the earl at that time. The only person who can find them at that time is Natsume who is closely related to Kurama.

"So strictly speaking, what Cat-chan said is actually not wrong. You were indeed affected by me." Kurama looked at Natsume apologetically: "I'm really sorry that you were treated so badly."

Xia Mu shook his head.

"It's not Zangma's fault." He pursed his lips tightly, looking a little depressed. "Mr. Ma and the others are not good. If they hadn't attacked the earl's pet shop at that time, and almost injured Kurama, you and Mokona..."

Earl D, the person who says he hates humans, but is very gentle to Natsume in his heart, wouldn't he take action against those people at will.

Thinking of this, Natsume sighed silently, and subconsciously hugged the cat in his hand tightly into his arms.

"Teacher..." He called the other party softly, and he didn't understand what he wanted to express and what he wanted the other party to respond to.

It was rare for the cat pressed tightly to his chest not to struggle.

As if feeling Natsume's unspeakable mood at the moment, he was silent for a while, then stretched out a paw, and gently patted the boy's cheek as if soothing.

Kurama and Mokona also tacitly kept silent.

For a while, the whole courtyard seemed to become quieter.

Natsume buried her face deeply in the warm and soft fur of the cat in her arms.

There was only the slight sound of the wind, and the firm, calm, persistent and powerful heartbeat that was transmitted from the small body in front of him, which did not match the body shape at all.

— Plop, plop.

one more time.

It seems that even if everything in the world is silent, the heartbeat that resounds clearly in his ears will always be by his side, becoming his permanent companion, and an existence that he can trust and rely on at any time...

Natsume gradually raised the corners of his mouth.

"It's all right, teacher."

He said softly, raised his face, and looked at the pair of half-moon-shaped black cat eyes that were so close to him that he felt uncomfortable, but always made him feel very at ease as long as he was stared at by them: "Already never mind."

Madara watched him for a moment in silence.

"Stupid." In the end, he prolonged his tone, seemingly helpless, and seemed to have a heart-melting connivance and pampering, and cursed softly.

The late summer breeze blows quietly, gently brushing over the boy's hair and the cat's fur. At this moment, time seems to slow down, just to remember this safe and beautiful scene...
