The right way to polish a diamond

"excuse me."

Natsume Takashi followed Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Nakaya into their rented house, and the basket in his hand and the things in the basket had been handed over to Aunt Tako when they passed by his house before.

Hearing that Natsume Takashi was going to visit Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya at their home, Aunt Toko kindly asked Natsume Takashi to bring over the snacks that he was planning to eat in the afternoon.

Nakahara took the dim sum from Natsume Takashi, thanked him, and went to the kitchen to make tea.

After Dazai changed into his slippers, he took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for Natsume Takashi that the owner had prepared for guests.

"There are not so many etiquettes, Natsume-kun, just sit down wherever you want." Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, walked into the living room first and sat down on the sofa.

Natsume Takashi also sat down on the sofa.He looked at the two-seater sofa where Osamu Dazai was sitting, and knew clearly that the other vacant seat was reserved for Chuya Nakahara, so he sat on the single sofa next to him, facing the kitchen.

Teacher Cat squatted on the armrest of the single sofa, looked at Osamu Dazai, then stretched his neck to look at Chuya Nakahara in the kitchen, flicking his tail behind him.

Osamu Dazai smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Natsume Takashi, speaking calmly like yesterday.

They don't know much about the world of monsters, and most of the information comes from Natsume Soseki's dictation.

It's not that he doesn't trust this strongest person. From a standpoint, Natsume Soseki will not harm Nakahara Chuya, but it is obviously not Dazai's style to count on others.

What's more, Natsume Soseki has no problem, what about the person who gave Natsume Soseki information?What about omissions in information transmission?Natsume Soseki's understanding of monsters comes from Natsume Reiko, and the intelligence deviations over the past few decades are all things that need to be considered.

The clichés between Natsume Takashi and Cat Teacher went smoothly, not to say that Natsume Takashi is not vigilant, but that the other party’s vigilance is obviously not in terms of speaking—besides, even if he is vigilant, a teenage child , Osamu Dazai wants to ask, but can't ask?

Osamu Dazai checked the information he got from Natsume Takashi with what they had inquired before, and probed a little deeper into a few questions.

It was almost time, and Zhongyuan Zhong also came out of the kitchen.

He walked over with his hands in his pockets, and there were two trays floating beside him. On one tray was a teapot and teacups, and on the other tray was a plate. On the plate was the bean paste buns from Nanatsuji that Mr. Cat was thinking of.

Osamu Dazai observed the expressions of Natsume Takashi and Cat Teacher when they saw Nakahara Chuya using his abilities.Although it is difficult for even Osamu Dazai to see the heart of a cat, Mr. Cat will not hide his thoughts, and his eyes are very expressive.

Teacher Cat looked at Chuya Nakahara deeply, with a cat face pretending to be serious.

Osamu Dazai took Mr. Cat's reaction into his eyes, and exchanged glances with Nakahara who was sitting beside him.

Natsume Takashi watched the two trays fall steadily from the air onto the coffee table, and asked tangledly, "Mr. Nakahara, isn't it really a monster?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt that he hadn't seen such a straightforward person for a long time.Mr. Natsume Soseki's nephew turned out to be of this character.

"This is my superpower." Nakahara Chuya picked up the teapot and poured tea for the three of them, putting a cup in front of each of them.

"Extraordinary power..." Takashi Natsume looked at Chuya Nakahara curiously.After the death of his parents, he lived in relatives' homes, living in both cities and villages, but this was the first time he saw such a legendary person with supernatural powers.

Natsume Takashi scratched his head, in his opinion, he couldn't tell the difference between the so-called supernatural power and demon power.

Thinking of this, Natsume Takashi turned his head to look at Mr. Cat, and saw that the other party was already immersed in the delicious Nanatsujii bean paste buns.

Natsume Takashi sighed helplessly.

Osamu Dazai saw that Mr. Cat was eating happily, so he handed one to Nakahara Nakaya.

Zhong Yuan also looked at him in surprise, what are you doing?There is nothing to be courteous about!

Osamu Dazai winked.

Nakahara took it dubiously and smelled it first, thinking that Osamu Dazai probably didn't have time to do anything, so he took a bite.

How does it taste when Osamu Dazai raises his eyebrows?

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded. It's delicious!

Although it is just a small shop in the country, this bean paste bun is not inferior to some exquisite pastries. The skin is soft, the bean paste is delicate, and the filling is not very sweet. It is the natural sweetness of the bean paste.

It is really remarkable that a store can be opened for decades!

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about buying some as souvenirs and bringing them back for others to taste.

Osamu Dazai looked thoughtfully at Nakahara Chuya and Nanatsujii's red bean paste buns...Natsume Reiko likes it, Mr. Kitty likes it, and it is said that other monsters also like it. Is this a common ground?

Nakahara Chuya glanced at Osamu Dazai, picked up a bean paste bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Isn't it normal that both humans and monsters like delicious food?This bastard is making trouble on purpose!

Chuya Nakahara looked away from Osamu Dazai who was tasting the red bean paste buns, looked at Takashi Natsume, and greeted calmly, "Wouldn't Natsume-kun eat it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Nakahara." Natsume Takashi politely picked up a bean paste bun, chewing slowly.

Osamu Dazai swallowed the bean paste bun in his mouth, "Does Natsume-kun like this snack too?"

"The bean paste buns at Qitsujiju are delicious, and Mr. Cat likes them very much." Takashi Natsume himself is fine, he usually buys them for Mrs. Cat to eat.

Osamu Dazai took a look at Chuya Nakahara!

What does this mean?Zhong Yuanzhong was also angry and funny, with a relaxed smile in his blue eyes.

A smile appeared in Dazai Osamu's eyes.

Natsume Takashi stopped after eating a red bean paste bun, holding a teacup in his hand, and asked curiously, "Are both Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakahara superhuman?"

"Yes." Chuya Nakahara withdrew his entangled gaze from Osamu Dazai, and looked at Takashi Natsume.

Natsume Takashi continued, "Before Mr. Dazai said that my uncle is also a person with supernatural powers."

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Mr. Natsume's ability is to turn into a cat."

"Ah..." Takashi Natsume was a bit at a loss. He just saw the supernatural powers of Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya, and he thought that all supernatural powers were like this... So what's the use of becoming a cat?

Turning into a cat... Takashi Natsume looked at Teacher Cat again.

"The supernatural power is relatively simple, and there will be more ways to use the demonic power." Osamu Dazai also looked at Mr. Cat, "Just now what the supernatural powers of me and Chuya showed, it can be done with the demonic power."

"Okay." Teacher Cat patted her stomach contentedly. It seemed that she no longer minded Osamu Dazai's offense just now. "Young power can do many things."

Osamu Dazai nodded, and changed the subject, "Is that giant white beast just now Mr. Madara's real body?"

"Yes!" Teacher Cat said triumphantly, "My real body is mighty, right?"

"Unexpected majesty." Dazai Osamu praised, "It was completely unimaginable before this."

"Hahaha!"

Osamu Dazai continued, "Especially the red pattern on the forehead of that giant beast is the finishing touch!"

In the Central Plains, red patterns will also appear on the body when "dirty" is activated.It's just that the pattern on Madara's forehead is orange, and the pattern on Nakahara Chuya's body is dark red.

Is there any relationship between the two?

Teacher Cat said unsuspectingly, "That...is a manifestation of demon power."

Nakahara Chuya and Osamu Dazai looked at each other and asked, "How to reflect it? The more patterns, the stronger it is?"

Teacher Cat answered succinctly, "That's not the case, different decorations are different."

Seeing that he didn't mean to say more, Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai didn't ask, but changed directions, "Is this pattern natural?"

"Not necessarily." Teacher Cat said.

"Speaking of which, I am very interested in the gods and monsters that Natsume-kun mentioned earlier." Osamu Dazai naturally changed the subject, "Are there really gods in this world?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Natsume Takashi said with certainty, "However, with the passage of time and the weakening of human faith, the power of the gods is also declining. Either they are taken away by demon exorcists, or they abandon the believers and leave."

Osamu Dazai said with emotion, "Gods are so weak..."

Zhongyuan Zhong also said, "This is no different from a monster."

"It's different." Teacher Cat sat on the coffee table and said seriously, "Disrespect to God will be punished by God!"

"God's punishment?" Osamu Dazai looked at Natsume Takashi suspiciously, "But didn't you also mention that some gods were sealed by demon exorcisers before?"

"Being able to seal the god doesn't mean that you won't pay the price." Teacher Mao said, "The God of Fengyue was successfully sealed before, but the demon master who sealed him is probably dead."

"Toyotsuki?" Osamu Dazai heard Natsume Takashi say it before, "Didn't Natsume-kun say that he disappeared with Moon God?"

"Yes, that happened after we lifted his seal." Under the guidance of Osamu Dazai, Natsume Takashi told the story of Fengyue God and Fuyue God.

After speaking, he drank half a cup of tea.

Osamu Dazai refilled Natsume Takashi's cup, "It turns out that the gods can also affect the harvest of a place!" It is really a dangerous ability.

Chuya Nakahara said, "There are 800 million gods in Japan, and it is unlikely that all of them have this ability."

"Of course not!" Teacher Cat said.

"Chuya is really stupid, maybe some of these 800 million gods are real." Osamu Dazai asked casually, "Speaking of which, I've heard of 'Huang Ba Tu' before, and he is also real. ?"

"Huangba vomit..." Mr. Cat's beard trembled, "He is the god of Aomori."

Takashi Natsume was a little surprised and asked, "Does Mr. Kitty know Huang Ba Tu?"

Teacher Cat quickly denied, "I don't know." It was a bit evasive.

Natsume Takashi also saw it, "Is that god strong?" Could it be that Mr. Cat lost in a fight?

"Huang Ba Tu is the God of War." Teacher Cat said with a whimper.He looked at Osamu Dazai, "Where did you hear about Huangba vomiting?"

Osamu Dazai smiled slightly, "My hometown is Aomori."

Nakahara was also surprised to see whether Osamu Dazai was real or not?

There was a slight change in the smile on Osamu Dazai's face that only Nakahara could see!

Osamu Dazai continued to say to Mr. Cat, "So 'Hua Ba Tu' is the god with a strong sense of territory? No wonder I haven't seen a monster since I was a child, and I thought I couldn't see a monster."
