Why aren't people raising me

The smoke of the battle filled the air, Natsume Masaharu pressed his back against Yi Nan, and the hands of the monster hugged his chest tightly, protecting him firmly under the wings.

A large number of curse spirits are distorted and grotesque, and they are scattered everywhere in the open space. Under special circumstances where their lives are threatened, ordinary people can also see curse spirits.

"Damn it! Don't drag me into a fight, what did I do—" the demon extermination master who arrived first huddled back to back and shouted at the top of his voice, "And this ugly thing, this ugly thing..."

"Don't make noise, if you don't make any small moves, Lord Xia You's curse spirit won't attack you." Xia Youjie's companion said to them in a cold voice.

On the other side, Zhang Jingsi raised his hand slightly, with a forced smile in his voice, "I'm just saying hello, Your Excellency shouldn't make such a big fuss."

At the very second when they were actually face to face, the person behind Zhang Jingsi made a tentative blow, but it was just an arrow that was not full of spiritual power, which was not enough for a demon master to use. Throwing a fist like an ordinary person does not do much harm,

But that arrow became some kind of signal, and it directly exploded Xia Youjie's instinct to face the highest coefficient of danger. He came to Chang Jingsi almost instantly, and grabbed his neck.

The curse spirit even controlled everyone present and did not allow any mistakes.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Youjie looked at him coldly, "What do you want to do to Yazhi?"

"I have been entrusted to meet the gods." Although he was choked, but still breathing, Chang Jingsi adjusted his slightly stiff expression. He was used to smiling confidently and loosely, even in such a disparity in strength. Under the big situation, he did not show too embarrassing weakness, "The blow just now can't kill anyone, I just want to test the strength of the gods, after all..."

His slightly restrained expression was a little cold, "I'm a little curious, whether the monsters expelled by the country really have such terrifying abilities as they guessed."

"Terrifying ability?"

"In other words, it's more appropriate to say that the character is more appropriate - when you are in a good mood, you will respond to the wishes of the believers, and if you are in a bad mood, you will reverse the wishes of the believers. No matter what, monsters can easily do this. It is much easier for the invisible hand to succeed. . " The field Jingji looked straight into Natsume Masaharu's eyes, "If I really intend to get rid of you, I will not appear in front of you in an open and aboveboard manner."

The red hat exorcist raised his hand, and added in dissatisfaction, "Especially when you see us all facing the monsters?"

Zhang Jingsi: "Well, this may be because you are worrying too much."

Exorcist: "..."

Exorcist: "Have I been underestimated?"

The companion replied to him, "It's normal, the other party is the best."

Natsume Masaharu asked Xia Youjie to let go first, "It's too rough, Jie, his neck looks like it will break in a second, such a weak guy will die if he is not careful."

The corners of Zhang Jingsi's mouth froze immediately, "..."

Yi Nan asked straightforwardly, "It turns out that his model can be described as weak willow Fufeng?"

Xia Youjie: "Don't use words indiscriminately, Yazhi."

Although he withdrew his hand, Xia Youjie didn't go far away. He just stood there, staring at Zhang Jingsi coldly, and the atmosphere at the scene was still tense.

Natsume Masaharu clutched the corner of his clothes, "Am I regarded as an... enemy that must be eradicated?"

"Well...not really." Zhang Jingsi wanted to take a few steps forward, but under Xia Youjie's gaze, he didn't move. There was an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, "You are just... Too much."

Natsume Masaharu's eyes froze,

"Humans and monsters should not interfere with each other, and the existence of monsters needs to be hidden from humans."

"Your case is the first time."

Chang Jingsi's smile deepened a bit,

"For so many years, no monster has ever approached human beings for the sake of 'salvation' without asking for gratitude, regardless of the consequences. You are so kind that I am amazed, but the higher-ups don't care."

"They won't understand your feelings and plead for you from your standpoint. They will only think that you interfere with the laws of human society and want to get rid of you."

Masaharu Natsume already had guesses about the result, "What if I don't want to?"

"If you don't want to..."

Xia Youjie beside him moved his fingers slightly, and Zhang Jingsi withdrew his gaze from him, and said briskly, "Then I'll pretend I didn't see you."

Natsume Masaharu was taken aback, "...what?"

"Because I can't get rid of you at all." Patriarch Dechang shrugged, "Do you have a human partner, or a powerful...curser?"

"If I hit you casually, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?"

Xia Youjie grinned, "Threats are old-fashioned, but they work. From now on, if you do anything I don't want to see, you will end up in the belly of my curse spirit."

Chang Jingji accepted the threats well. He raised his eyebrows slightly at Natsume Masaharu, obviously seeing who was the one who had the most influence on the decision, "So, I give up."

"You have done too much kindness, I don't want to kill you."

Although it is a youkai, it does not seem to be a natural born youkai.

"However, if I give up, other people will come to you." His expression sank, "The disputes between people are hard to stop, and the negative emotions born because of unresponsive wishes will not disappear from now on. They have been used. Are you really not going to be polluted?"

"Lord God..."

"You're deep in the world."

——You are deep in the world.

A guy with real malice, at the lowest cost, dyed a good thing that originally represented extreme goodness into black.

The "good God" has become the belief of some people, the talking point of some people, the laughing stock of some people, and the nightmare of some people.

Natsume Masaharu pursed his lips, his voice was a little dry, but extremely firm, "I know."

"When the Believers appeared, I knew it."

"The field... right? If I have a way to end this thing, can you grant me a request?"

Stop some people going astray, stop this absurd farce.

Zhang Jingsi was very surprised, "What do you want to do?"

Natsume Masaharu stretched out his hand to caress Yi Nan's arm, "Yinan, do you know this monster?"

"My ancestors have recorded that the big monster who can tamper with people's memories, like you now, was sealed up because of too much interference in human activities."

"If he uses his ability this time to make a contribution to society, will you let him go?"

Chang Jingji opened his eyes slightly, and he understood Natsume Masaharu's thoughts in an instant, but——

"You're actually discussing with me?" The dark-haired young man with classic temperament suddenly laughed, and he glanced at the sharp Xia Youjie, "With such a powerful helper, you can use strong methods, and even if we don't May you also erase your memory, remember nothing, know nothing."

"Of course I understand that is the fastest way." Masaharu Natsume gently held one of Yinan's fingers, "But my friend has always regretted what happened back then, and he doesn't even want to talk about the past. If you don't get your Agree... I know it's strange to say this, but if he uses his ability again just because of my order, he must be sad."

Yi Nan's body trembled slightly, his face was covered by the mask, so people couldn't see his expression, but his arms tightened a bit, Natsume Masaharu's head was right against his beating chest .

"..."

After a long silence, Zhang Jingsi put away his smile, "You are different from the monsters I have seen."

Just like a noble human being.

"Your method sounds feasible, but... do you know how many people there are in this country?"

Natsume Masaharu smiled and said, "Then do you know how powerful Yi Nan is?"

"Although I can't delete everyone's memory at the same time, I can accompany him to every city, every village, and we will go to locations that cannot be found on the map."

"I'll make people forget about the 'good God'."

They are still brave and strong, and they will not waste their lives for some vain sustenance.

Masaharu Natsume glanced at everyone, and finally met Xia Youjie's eyes,

"Until the higher-ups also forget about me and withdraw the order to kill me."

***

"Tampering memory?" Gojo Satoru heard Masaharu say what happened on the phone, and there was a wind from the microphone, and the other party was obviously flying, "Can this be done, and nothing will happen?"

"Just remove the key words, so that people will have no common topic of communication, and they will naturally forget about it." Masaharu Natsume was led by Yi Nan to fly towards the direction of the setting sun, "I will start from the west, Let Yinan's ability cover all human beings like a carpet, but the reality requires your efforts."

Gojo Satoru pondered for a few seconds, "What a crazy idea."

This is also not allowed.

"But I trust you."

Gojo Gojo smiled and said, "Others may not be able to. After all, this sounds like a bad plan to destroy human beings, but you and I can rest assured."

The strongest line of sight swept across the auxiliary supervisor, "We will keep an eye on the matter of the curse spirit, and..."

He glanced at his father and mother who had been bowing this way, both heads showing excited expressions.

"...Well, you can finish your work first and then talk about it."

Natsume Masaharu heard his hesitation, "What's the matter, do you have something to tell me?"

"There's a guy I want to introduce you to."

"If it's very important, I can go to you now."

"No, you're dangerous, right? I'm not in a hurry." Gojo Satoru casually stretched out his hand, and the father and mother immediately backed away. The blue-eyed youth smiled and continued, "I hope you don't get too excited when you meet." confusion."

"You're making me nervous and looking forward to it."

"Then be nervous and look forward to it."

……

Natsume Masaharu embarked on a "journey".

This statement was given by Darryl, and Natsume Masaharu thought it was cool to be in the second class, and he said it to Natsume Takashi so jokingly.

Xia Youjie followed the whole trip, he was so careful that he even slept lightly, until one day Natsume Masaharu stared at his face and said solemnly,

"Your dark circles are falling down to your chin, Jay."

Xia Youjie: "..."

Xia Youjie turned pale with shock, "No, how is it possible, I am very good at maintenance."

"...Maintenance?" Natsume Masaharu spit out the word lightly.

Did he accidentally discover some secret?

Xia Youjie coughed lightly,

"Jie, so you care about your appearance too." Natsume Masaharu leaned in front of him. Although they were a little closer, they were not too close, but Xia Youjie didn't even dare to breathe, "After all, you I'm only eighteen... I'm going to be almost 19, so young and successful in my career, I usually have to meet a lot of people when I'm a leader, so it's normal to pay attention to my image."

Xia Youjie choked, "...if you stay up too late, you might become an uncle at the age of 30."

"It's okay, you have a daughter anyway."

"Nanako and Mimiko are just sisters."

"The two little girls you saved respect you like a father."

"Ah, then will I look older? If I stay with you at the age of 40 or [-], won't I look older than my brothers?"

Natsume Masaharu jokingly said, "But it doesn't matter, the uncle also looks like a successful person, and I really want to be an uncle..."

Natsume Masaharu's voice gradually faded away, and he lost focus of his eyes staring at the front. Three seconds later, he suddenly looked at Xia Youjie in surprise.

Xia Youjie was a little confused, "Why are you looking at me with that expression?"

"Jay, you...?!"

Natsume Masaharu felt as if a gust of wind had blown into his heart.

He understood...Because Natsume Masaharu's appearance will never change, Xia Youjie just wants to make the gap between them smaller, even smaller, so that time doesn't seem to pass much, and they can also Get along for a longer time.

"In terms of anti-aging, Wu has a natural advantage."

"What does he have...?"

"There is no lower limit to block everything, and it will also block ultraviolet rays... I guess, but I don't know if it can." Natsume Masaharu analyzed solemnly, "The skin will not be exposed to dust, will not withstand wind and rain, and the handsome guy is still It’s really superior everywhere.”

Xia Youjie: "...Do I want to say that you also have these conditions."

Natsume Masaharu: "Well, that's true."

While they were chatting and waiting, Yi Nan came back,

The big demon with wings landed in front of Natsume Masaharu, looking a little tired. "The people in this town have taken care of it."

Natsume Masaharu smiled at him, "Thank you, Yinan."

They continued on their way, whether intentionally or not, Natsume Masaharu found that they had revisited all the places they had been to.

"Based on this..." Natsume Masaharu sighed, "I have been a monster for nine years."

He slept ignorantly for the first year, and then lived carefree in Yayuan for two years. Then he went to the human world, and then he suddenly realized that time passed quickly, but he obviously didn't feel anything.

Except for Natsume Takashi's taller figure, he feels that nothing has changed, Yahara has not changed, the monsters have not changed, and the human city is constantly operating day by day.

"Hey, Jie, look at that." On the street, Masaharu Natsume's eyes lit up, "Look at that couple."

It was a young couple taking a walk. The husband was holding their young son, and the wife was holding her stomach lightly.

Xia Youjie looked over blankly, "...do they have any problems?"

"It looks kind, doesn't it?"

Natsume Masaharu rolled his eyes, "That's what I told you, the idiot who couldn't find the ring on the day of the proposal."

"It seems to be living a happy life, even the second child... um." Masaharu Natsume frowned suddenly, "Why didn't you...?"

Natsume Masaharu could even see the death time of the fetus in the womb, but at this time his vision was empty.

... Could it be a dead baby?

But this looks like it's going to die...

"The Chosen One." Darryl suddenly cut into the topic, "The guys here are amazing, Yazhi."

Natsume Masaharu stared blankly,

What is the Chosen One!

"A character who can escape from reincarnation and die meaninglessly?" Masaharu Natsume focused, "God reincarnated?"

"Oh, that kind of thing doesn't exist, so some random settings are added." Darryl snorted, "It's just the evolution of human genes."

"...that's all?"

"..."

The topic was left alone, and Darryl's hesitation made Masaharu Natsume feel that maybe she couldn't tell what it was.

But since it's not a dead baby, it's fine.

Xia Youjie's eyes stayed there for a long time, but when he looked back, he looked a little regretful, "I didn't see anything, I just thought they were an ordinary couple."

Natsume Masaharu smiled, "But they are ordinary people."

He patted Xia Youjie on the back through his clothes, "I can see it even if you don't tell me, you don't really like ordinary people, do you?"

"..." Xia Youjie was silent for a while, his eyes looked a little dim,

"I just...can't tell the difference between people's hearts."

From Akashi Masaharu, to the gap between ordinary people and magicians, to human beings' excessive and ignorant belief in gods.

"I know there are good people and bad people in the world, but I can't see it."

It's easiest to beat him to death with a stick, no matter who you are, just think of him as a stupid monkey with no brain development.

But these human beings who have been protected by Masaharu and liked by Natsume Masaharu must also have characteristics that do not disappoint him... It's just that he can't see it at a glance.

Natsume Masaharu put his shoulders instead, "If you can't see it, you can't see it. You are only 19 years old. Isn't this the most confusing time in life?"

Xia Youjie frowned, "Don't sound like a grandpa."

"Anyway, just don't give up hope."

Xia Youjie turned to look at Yazhi.

It is still the face in my memory, no matter how many times I see it, it will cause ripples in my heart, and it always has a dazzling appearance that is about to become a spotlight.

The light will visit him, falling on the ends of his hair, falling on his cheeks, falling on his eyes.

……Um?

Xia Youjie's eyes moved,

Is it an illusion, just now Masaharu seemed to be...transparent for a moment?

***

Natsume Masaharu walked for a whole month before he erased the "good God" from people's hearts.

Yi Nan became very weak, Natsume Masaharu put his arms around his neck to thank him, but the monster just hugged him lightly and said, "If it's something meaningful, I won't feel tired."

Natsume Masaharu stroked his hair, "You have worked so hard for me, Yi Nan, thank you."

For a month, people seem to have forgotten the commotion that happened before, and there are new hot spots on the Internet every day, and the center of the topic has become an extremely cute blue-haired baby who was born.

Because the discussion was too high, Natsume Masaharu also saw the baby.

It's hard to describe that appearance, but my heart melts when I see it.

No one makes crazy moves for the so-called gods, no one stares at the computer screen to search for the deeds of gods, trying to prove that gods really exist, all electronic information is deleted, and everything recorded by people can be recorded by Natsume Masaharu What he found was burned by him.

"It seems that it has been resolved." Gojo Satoru listened to the information from the insiders, and waved to the curse spirit who smacked his mouth aside, "Then come back, Masaharu."

Natsume Masaharu leaned on the window sill of the hotel room, "Well, we have booked train tickets for tomorrow, although we can fly, but Yinan is a little tired, we also want to see the scenery."

"How long will it be?"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon."

"OK, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Natsume Masaharu glanced at his hands, he could vaguely see the tabletop and the floor through the palm of his hand, and then he stretched his hand into the wall and passed through without hindrance.

"Sure enough, people no longer remember me, and I became a weak demon again."

Yi Nan leaned against the corner to rest, heard the words and looked over, "It's okay, isn't it much more convenient this way?"

"Yeah, I don't even dare to sit on the roof of the car after I have the entity, for fear of being hit by obstacles, Jie has to buy two or three seats for me every time."

Xia Youjie came out at this moment. He had just finished washing and said casually, "Yazhi, where are the towels?"

"In the drawer."

"Jaji?"

Natsume Masaharu turned his head, "Huh?"

"are you there?"

"..."

Natsume Masaharu breathed hard, and at that moment, his brain roared.

He leaned against the window and looked at Xia Youjie in disbelief. The black-haired young man glanced at the room with a depressed expression, "Why didn't you tell me when you went out? Didn't I hear you?"

"Jay?"

Natsume Masaharu softly called out,

Xia Youjie went straight to the window, but he didn't take his eyes off Natsume Masaharu, he just passed Natsume Masaharu so lightly and without hesitation,

Masaharu stared at him, "If this was a joke, I'd be so mad I'd shave your hair off."

But Xia Youjie still didn't respond to him, he looked out from the window and raised his volume slightly, "Yazhi, have you gone to the roof—?"

Natsume Masaharu stood behind him, expressionless.

The distance between them was so close, but so far away that they couldn't see the figure and couldn't hear the sound.

"..."

"So what happened to the monster who lived with humans?"

Yi Nan was quiet for a while, and raised her eyes with a bit of unbearable, "One day, humans suddenly couldn't see the monster, and the monster tried every means to tell him that he was here, but if he didn't notice it, he didn't exist. .”

"Then... as time went on, monsters never gave up looking for a way to show themselves in front of humans."

"But humans have already forgotten him."
