[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

At the end of summer, cicadas play their last music on the tree trunks, and the sun shines down, and the halo dances in the air.

A kappa was lying on the side of the road, and a few wisps of white mist that seemed to evaporate from the top of its bald head floated.

A cloud floated across the sky, blocking the sun, and a shadow floated on the ground, giving the Kappa a little time to breathe, and then the sun fell again.

"Zu la", "Zu la", two pairs of shoes, a man and a woman, stopped beside the Kappa, and the life-saving mineral water fell from above, and landed on the Kappa's head accurately, and the water splashed golden light in the sun.

"Oh, I knew it would be like this." Natsume crushed the empty mineral water bottle in his hand and put it in the trash can on the side of the road.

"How should I put it, I always feel that this scene is very familiar." Reiko looked at the kappa who was still a little confused on the ground, and showed a big smile to the sun.

Yahara, she Natsume Reiko is back.

Those monsters, can they still recall the terror that was dominated by her?

.

"Ah, so boring!"

"Boring, boring, how can you be so boring?"

The two intermediates touched the wine glasses in their hands and drank it down in one gulp, two bright red flowers appeared on their cheeks.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Natsume-sama for a long time, let's go and play with Natsume-sama?"

"Prank, prank!"

"Yes! Let's scare Natsume-sama, such as getting into his bed, and then appearing suddenly..."

The middle-level students became more and more excited as they talked, and began to sway and dance with the excitement of drinking.

"Eh? It's a prank. It sounds very interesting. How about adding me?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind, and the middle-level students were startled. They turned their heads quickly and saw "Master Natsume" squatting on the ground, dragging his head and looking at them.

The intermediates patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief: "What, it's Natsume-sama! Our plan was overheard, so we can't play pranks like this, what a pity."

Reiko raised her eyebrows, the mere middle class is so bold, is it because the monsters have drifted away, or is it that she, Reiko, can't beat the monsters?

"By the way, Natsume-sama." The intermediate seemed to think of something. "Recently, there are beautiful flowers blooming on the mountain. Do you want to go and see them? If it's Natsume-sama, let's lead the way reluctantly!"

Reiko looked at the intermediate level for a few seconds, until the intermediate level felt a little nervous, and then agreed: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go and have a look."

The intermediate wiped off the cold sweat that was seeping out unconsciously, quietly began to lead the way, and made eye contact.

"Don't you think today's Natsume-sama is a bit scary?"

"It's very scary! Speaking of which, was Natsume-sama's hair that long before?"

"...Could it be that Madara-sama has turned into Natsume-sama and is teasing us?"

"I've smelled it, and it's indeed Natsume-sama's scent."

"Could it be that……"

The two intermediates looked at each other in horror, and at the same time, a terrifying figure exuding billowing black energy appeared in their minds.

"No, it won't be! Natsume-sama said that the person who can't say his name died 50 years ago."

"Yes, the time of human beings is very short. I still feel trembling when I think of the person whose name cannot be said, but...even so, occasionally I think that it would be nice if we could meet again. Obviously They took our names away so rudely, but never called them once..."

The mid-level mood turns sour, and those faded memories come back in color.

"Snapped"! "Snapped"!

Reiko, who was wearing a sailor suit, held a paper fan and slapped each of the two intermediates on the head.

The intermediates covered their heads with their short hands and looked at Reiko with tears in their eyes.

"I won this time. According to the agreement, give me your names!" Reiko said bluntly with one hand on her hips and a fan on the back of her neck with the other.

The two intermediates reluctantly wrote their names on the paper and handed it to Reiko.

Reiko looked at it twice, put the paper in her school bag casually, turned her back and waved to the intermediate students: "I'm going back, see you next time!"

She clearly said "see you next time", but she never saw her again. Reiko just disappeared without a sound, not even a splash...

"Why did you stop suddenly? Didn't you say you want to take me to see beautiful flowers?" Reiko bent slightly with her hands behind her back, looking at the middle class curiously.

Reiko's long, light-brown hair hung down from her ears, and the strands of her hair touched the tops of the intermediate students.A shadow in memory overlaps with the person in front of me.

The intermediate sucked a bit sore nose: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered Reiko-sama."

The other intermediate was startled: "Hey! Don't mention that person's name casually, I'm scared to death!"

"How do you guys think of Natsume Reiko?" Reiko couldn't help asking.

"A violent human being!"

"An unreasonable human being!"

The simple minds of the intermediate level make them unable to distinguish the difference in the names of human beings. Whether it is "Grandma Reiko" or "Natsume Reiko", they are all the same in the eyes of monsters.

Reiko narrowed her eyes dangerously, and moved her fingers behind her back.

Sure enough, it's better to have a good meal.

"But even so, we still want to hear her call our names once." The middle class said in a depressed mood.

Reiko opened her eyes slightly, and stopped moving her fingers.

Really, stupid.

Monsters are really stupid creatures that are hopelessly stupid.

Reiko squatted down, looked into the eyes of the two intermediates, then stretched out her hand, and rubbed the heads of the intermediates vigorously.

"Ah, stop, Natsume-sama! Our hair is going to be messed up!"

Reiko looked at Intermediate's bald head, and said bluntly, "Are you dreaming? Well, take me to see the flowers! If you go back too late, Qingming will be nagging again."

"Natsume-sama is getting more and more violent..." the middle-level students muttered softly, but they still obediently took Reiko to the valley full of flowers.

The valley is deep in the mountains, away from the crowds.The monsters here are isolated from the world and live a life of contentment.

Occasionally, one or two monsters would poke out their scary-looking heads and look at Reiko with sharp teeth, as if they would swallow Reiko in the next moment.But after Reiko greeted them with a smile, the scary-looking monster blushed and shrank back a little shyly.

"Natsume-sama's charm is really getting bigger and bigger!"

The intermediates sighed as they led Reiko into a somewhat deep path.Tree branches and vines droop down along the path, giving people a ghostly feeling.

Passing through the path, the eyes suddenly became empty.

The instant bright sunshine made Reiko squint her eyes a little uncomfortable. After adapting to the light, what appeared in front of her was a valley full of flowers, with light blue flowers blooming in it.

"Flowers of this color are quite rare. We think that Natsume-sama might like it, so we want to bring you over to have a look. Natsume-sama, do you like the flowers here?" The intermediates raised their heads and looked at Natsume expectantly.

"Well, I like it very much, thank you."

The breeze blew up Reiko's long hair, and the fragrance of flowers wafted over, not too strong, but lingering lightly on the tip of her nose, and Reiko's expression softened.

Reiko admired the magnificent sea of ​​flowers for a few minutes before stepping into it.The butterflies that were quietly collecting honey were startled one after another, flapping their light blue wings and dancing in the air, like countless petals surrounding Reiko.

The intermediates looked at everything in front of them quietly, not daring to move a step, they were afraid that as long as they moved, the beautiful scenery in front of them would disappear.

"That's great..." A middle-level sighed softly, but then closed its mouth under the stern gaze of its companion.

Reiko stretched out her finger, and after the butterfly landed and flew away, she bent down to pick two beautiful flowers that bloomed, and returned to the middle class.

Reiko put the blue flowers in the ears of the intermediate students, squatted down and looked at them with a smile: "Thank you for bringing me to see such beautiful flowers, this is a gift, middle class A, middle class B."

One-eyed Zhongjia pointed at himself blankly: "Is this calling me?"

Zhong Yi, who has a bull's head, also repeated blankly: "Are you calling me?"

Reiko laughed "puchi": "Why, you don't even remember the name you handed to me?"

hand over my name...

Hand over to...

personally……

Is it...

"Ling, Master Lingzi?!!" Zhong A and Zhong B backed away in panic, then tripped over the stones on the ground at the same time, and fell to the ground in extreme embarrassment.

Reiko frowned unhappily: "Am I so scary?"

"I'm really sorry!" Zhong A and Zhong B fell on the ground respectfully, making a kowtow to apologize.

"Middle A, Middle B."

Even though they were very afraid of being hit, the strong anticipation forced them to raise their heads.

If Reiko could call them by their names a few more times, even if they were beaten, it didn't seem to matter.

"I'm sorry for taking away your names before. I used to think that as long as I exchanged names, I would become friends. It seems that my wishful thinking has caused you trouble."

"Master Reiko...do you think we are friends?" Zhong Yi, who was a little dazed, mustered up his courage and asked.

"It's friends. All the monsters in the account of friends are my friends." Reiko replied with a smile.

"Did you hear it?"

"I heard."

"Master Reiko said we are her friends."

"Yes, they are friends."

"..."

"..."

Zhong A and Zhong B looked at each other for a few seconds, then hugged each other happily and jumped up, took out the Hinomaru fan that they didn't know where to hide, and danced on the spot.

"We are the first youkai recognized by Reiko-sama, we must show off!"

"Go show off! Go show off!"

"We still have to tell Lord Sanxiao and Lord B about the news of Lord Reiko's return, and they will be happy!"

"I'll be happy, I'll be happy... But, after a while, Reiko-sama disappears again, what should I do?"

Zhong A and Zhong B quieted down again, and looked in Reiko's direction anxiously.

"I won't leave this time, I promise." Reiko smiled and promised.

Zhong A and Zhong B hooked their shoulders and left bouncing away.

Reiko looked at the innocent middle class, her mood became relaxed, and she was looking forward to the next reunion.

This is probably the feeling of hometown.

Reiko thought so.

The light blue flowers are still blooming quietly, and the butterflies flutter past among the flowers, blending with the petals.

Tomorrow, take Qingming to see these flowers together.

Reiko slowly returned along the original path, then quickened her pace, walked faster and faster, and finally couldn't help trotting.

She really wanted to go back soon and share everything she saw today.

Because there, Seimei was waiting for her to go home.
