What to do if you are too obsessed with Natsume

The snow branches in sleep are wrapped in a warmth, and the memory seems to have returned to that bright summer again. The large green area of ​​Yayuan Forest comes into view, and the disturbing cicadas and refreshing wind decorate the hot summer.

The stream in the mountain is gurgling, the gravel reflects the light in the sun, and the wind chimes in the temple in the distance make a crisp sound of jingling.

Xuezhi moved to Yayuan when she was nine years old. As the famous monster forest in the legend, the law of the weak also exists here. Of course, things that bully weak monsters often happen.

But Xuezhi is not a newcomer——

Especially after eating mermaid meat in an accident, she found that her body seemed to have acquired the regeneration ability close to [immortality]. As long as the consciousness exists, even if the limbs and head are cut off together, she can regenerate. But what does longevity mean to a person like her?

She lives in the forest and often feels lonely.

To monsters, she is human, but to humans, she is a monster.So she is always alone.

But Yahara Forest seems to be a bit different.

This difference does not mean that the monsters here are so harmonious and easy to get along with, but that there is a name that is widely circulated among monsters, and they call him "His Royal Highness Natsume".

His Highness Natsume.

Xuezhi remembered the name. At first she thought that Natsume was a very powerful god or a big monster, but later when she was lying on the flower tree and sleeping, the wind blew the leaves by her ears and made a rustling sound. The monster discussed the man while warming himself by the fire.

"Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen Natsume-sama for a long time." The talking minotaur gulped down the wine, but when he sang, he showed some nostalgic eyes.

"Natsume-sama... I heard that I went to study outside. It's because humans have the habit of going to school. I don't know what their schools teach." Another monster said.

"Could it be teaching drinking and dancing?" "Speaking of which, I'm good at it...!!"

The kappa carrying the turtle shell interjected, "But summer is here!" He raised his hand happily, "I heard that His Highness Natsume will come back to Yahara during the summer vacation, so let's play with him at that time."

Seemingly reaching a consensus, the three monsters happily raised their cups again. Xuezhi narrowed her eyes and looked at them through the sparse branches and leaves. The hand stretched out in midair seemed to feel the warmth of the fireworks.

That Natsume-sama turned out to be a human being.

What kind of person would he be?

It may be that she has been lonely for too long, but Xuezhi had already had enough imaginations about this person before meeting her.Because His Highness Natsume in their mouth seems to be able to see a different world just like himself.

Was he ever as lonely as himself?

The monster under the tree had already started to sleep soundly, and was still muttering in sleep, "Let's drink together, Your Highness Natsume", Xuezhi folded her hands on her chest, and slowly fell asleep, maybe she was the only one who was lonely.

The summer is thicker, the cicadas are louder, Xuezhi has been counting the time, to see if he can see His Highness Natsume before the ancient flower tree withers.During this period of time, she heard some news about him one after another. It is said that he has a book of friends with many monster names written on it, and he is always accompanied by a chubby cat, which is the incarnation of a certain big monster.

But they never talked about his appearance, they only said that he was a gentle person, but what is a gentle person like?

She caught the petals falling from the tree, but she could not come up with the answer after thinking for a long time.

The weather in summer has changed very quickly. The sky that was clear just now was suddenly covered with clouds, and the rain fell down by a trickle.

It's raining.

Zihu, who lives in Yayuan Forest, has actually been paying attention to that girl for a long time.

The girl who was as beautiful as a god just stood there in the rain blankly, without any expression on her face.

—She must be very lonely.

When this idea came to mind, the little fox had already run over, holding a long plantain leaf in his hand, and when he spoke, his light brown pupils shone brightly.

"That... If you don't mind, please use this!"

The little fox plucked up his courage, handed the long banana leaf to Xuezhi, and said in a childish voice.

Xuezhi tilted his head, and looked at the little fox with a pair of eyes that were so pure that there was almost no organic matter. He had the appearance of a human child, with long light brown hair scattered casually on his chest, and a pair of fox ears on top of his head.

There is also a fluffy tail behind.

Is it a fox demon?

Seeing that Xuezhi just looked at him and didn't speak, the little fox stood on tiptoe and put the long plantain leaves on the top of their heads, the cold rain seemed to be temporarily blocked.

"..."

Xuezhi wanted to say something.

But it seemed that because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she found it difficult for her to speak, even if she wanted to say thank you, but... in the end it was stuck in her throat, and she didn't say anything.

He just put aside the staring eyes with the little fox, and stared at the wild daisy wet by the rain for a long time in a daze.

The little fox secretly looked at her with his eyes, but the tail behind him kept wagging. She was so beautiful that she seemed to be shining!Silver hair, eyes as clear and clear as the sky! ! !

I really want to be friends with her! ! !

"Well, are you...a fox too?"

Xuezhi tilted her head, her gaze fell on the little fox's face.

The little fox's face was red and red, and he lowered his head unnaturally, "Because your hair is silver... My mother told me before that all the nine-tailed silver foxes have silver hair, and they are very beautiful! "

"..."

"Sorry, sorry, did I talk too much..."

The tail behind the little fox drooped limply, as if feeling guilty about it.

Xuezhi raised her hand to support another banana leaf to keep out the rain, she didn't show any expression on her face, but she spoke slowly, "...I am, a human being."

"Human...??" The little fox's light brown pupils widened slightly, as if he was a little scared, and stepped back with one foot.

Xuezhi lowered her eyes and said nothing.

But in the next second, the little fox's outstretched foot quickly stretched back, took a step closer to Xuezhi, and showed a friendly smile again.

"I used to hate humans too, but—"

"Since I met Natsume, I have had my favorite human friend." The little fox's eyes were shining, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Xuezhi, "My name is Zihu, and you are willing to be my friend too ?"

"... Xuezhi."

The two little guys hooked their fingers.

——It’s so warm.

Is this the memory she once had?

do not want to lose.

Xuezhi hugged something tightly subconsciously, and rubbed it nostalgicly towards a warm place.

It was broad daylight, and sunlight streamed in through the old wooden windows. There were two people lying on the narrow bench, one big and one small. She wore a thin coat, and her two fair faces were exposed, as if she was sleeping soundly.

...I haven't slept so well in a long time. Is it dawn?

The sun shone on the girl's face through the gap, and the child opened his eyes in a daze.

The warm and unfamiliar body temperature, the sound of slightly snoring breathing, the face of the young man who was sleeping soundly...

Um……! ! !

Relying on his body's instinctive reaction, Xuezhi slapped the sleeping boy away with a punch, and the boy's tragic scream echoed in his ears, "Ahhhh!!"

A few seconds later, a boy covered his face, walked in angrily, and yelled in Xuezhi's ear, "You little brat!! It's so early in the morning! What the hell are you doing!!"

Xuezhi then stood up on the bench, looked at the boy at the same level, and said two words with a slumped pretty face: "Pervert."

"Please, I wouldn't have lent you my coat if you hadn't been talking about the cold yesterday, and I wasn't going to sleep with you dirty brat, if it wasn't for last night If it's too cold!"

Yato said angrily, "And if it wasn't for me, would you have slept so comfortably?"

"...It seems to be the same."

Hearing the young man's explanation, Xuezhi let go of the grievances he had just had.

"Don't be dazed, give me back the coat." Yato hugged his arm and said, the winter morning was so cold that he was shivering in only a single shirt.

"Your coat is dirty too!" There was also a smell of sweat.

"..."

Stinky brat.

"Why do you live here alone? Run away from home?" Yatou zipped up his sports jacket, hugged his tattered wine bottle like a baby, and asked.

"Nowhere to live, orphan."

Xue Zhi said expressionlessly.

Yetou suddenly moved his face closer, looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you have any special abilities, it's impossible for ordinary people to kick me so far away with one kick."

"Maybe, I forgot."

"Forgot?" Yato raised an eyebrow.

"I just forgot."

"Cut," Yato also pouted, "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Ah, yes, my name is Yato..."

In the middle of speaking, Yato noticed that Xuezhi seemed to have heard the name, and immediately changed the subject, "Why, have you heard of my name?"

"...Hmm." It was indeed seen in the small advertisement.

"Hahaha, is it possible that I, Ye Fighting God, are so famous now? Where did you meet me?"

Xuezhi pointed up.

"Gao Tianyuan?"

"There's a little advertisement for you on the ceiling."

"Uh..." Yato slumped for a few seconds, then quickly adjusted his state, brushed his bangs thoughtfully, and said with sparkling eyes: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yato, and I provide sex. One of the eight hundred gods, if you have any wish, I can make it come true for you."

"……Oh."

"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have! Although I am now poor and living in no fixed place, sooner or later I will be famous all over the world, and everyone will come to me and wish to become the king of this country hehehehe."

"really?"

"Then come and wish to me." Yato replied.

"Please help me find a person named Natsume, Yato Shenmei." Xuezhi clasped her hands in front of her chest, lowered her eyes, like a devout believer.

"I agree to your request, you are a predestined person."

Whether it is a blessing or a curse, as long as the belief is strong enough, it will be received by the gods.

And just now Yato really felt it, a feeling of eagerness to see someone, surging and full of vitality.
