[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

"This is it!" Shinichiro pointed to the pond in front of him, indicating that this is the place where he rescued the carp.

"It is true that there is an unusual aura here." Reiko looked around, and then called out, "Carp, are you there? Can you come out and talk?"

The originally calm surface of the pool swayed layer after layer of ripples, and a golden-red carp emerged from the water, and then turned into the appearance of a woman.

The woman was wearing colorful Ni clothes, with slightly curly hair reaching her waist, and two dragon horns on her head.

She noticed Reiko's gaze on her, and said slightly excitedly: "Human, can you see me?"

"Of course." Reiko nodded with a smile, "Do you have any reason why you have to stay? Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you."

Carp turned into a woman's gentle eyes fell on Shinichiro: "My name is Jin, would you like to listen to my story and thank that boy for me?"

Jin is a small carp, and like any other carp, he has a beautiful dream—that is to cross the dragon gate and become a dragon.

Every 50 years, a magnificent dragon gate will appear above this pond, and today is the day when the dragon gate appears.

He is the most powerful carp in this pond, carrying all the hope of his brothers and sisters.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a carp successfully jumped over the Dragon Gate, but no carp has been able to do so for a long time.Many carp in this pond gave up their cultivation and chose to spend the rest of their lives comfortably.

If it can do it, the other carps might start to practice hard again, waiting for the day when they will be reborn.

Therefore, it must jump over the dragon gate.

Surging spiritual energy gathers above the pond, and the surrounding birds fly around. In the colorful flow, a tall vermilion dragon gate appears in midair, and two golden dragons hover on both sides of the gatepost.

The fish in the water were ready to move, one after another was raised, and a beautiful rainbow appeared above the pool.

how beautiful!This is a beauty that ordinary humans can never see.

Jin twisted his body in the water, ripples rippled one after another on the surface of the pool.

It estimated the distance, sank slightly, and then rushed towards the water surface with all its strength.When it was about to leave the water, it slapped the water with its tail and leaped high with its strength. White water splashed around under the dragon gate, and another rainbow appeared.

"Hehehe, little carp, I want to eat you!" A catfish whose body was several times the length of Jin jumped out of the water following the carp, and opened its huge mouth, revealing its sharp teeth.

Could it be that he will be eaten by the catfish spirit today?

Jin closed his eyes, thinking desperately.

"Snapped"!

A human boy took a rock and threw it on the catfish's head.

"Run away, little carp, or you will be eaten."

Jin looked at the catfish falling towards the water, twisted his body vigorously, exerted force for the second time, his body showed a perfect streamlined shape, and leaped over the dragon gate after drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Colorful streamers wrapped Jin's body, and the small body grew rapidly like a willow branch in spring, showing the phantom of a dragon.

But Jin, who was supposed to soar into the sky, forcibly stopped his process of transforming into a dragon, turned himself into a fish again, and fell into the water.

"Thank you, human being." A gentle female voice came from Jin's mouth, but the human being turned around and left without any reply.

Is it invisible?Why can't I see it?It wants to thank the human children well.

In the end, Jin only managed to leave his own scales on him, protecting him from harm.

As long as it leaves this pond, Jin can become a dragon high above him, and then he must go to the land of dragons and disconnect from this world.

But, but, anyway, it wants that human to know that there is a little carp, because of his unintentional actions, it can become a dragon.

But that human being never came again after that day.

"I see, I will tell Shinichiro your story." Reiko said, retelling the story she heard from Jin to Shinichiro, "This is what Jin wants to convey to you, and it is also the catfish spirit's attack. Your reason, then, what about your thoughts, Shinichiro?"

Shinichiro stared at the direction where Jin was, although there was nothing in Shinichiro's eyes, but he could feel a warm feeling coming from there.

He closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on his chest: "Thank you, Jin, I have received your kindness. It is really great that I was able to save you back then!"

Shinichiro thought of the carp leaping high in the air, and the water splash following the carp, shining like a diamond in the sun.

What does Longmen look like?What kind of beautiful posture will the brocade that becomes a dragon look like?I really want to see it with my own eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Catfish, I saved Jin and injured you. But if I do it again, I will do it again. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" Shinichiro's sincere eyes showed no impurities, he Looking around, trying to find the invisible monster.

As soon as Shen Yilang finished speaking, Jin's slightly angry eyes fell on Catfish Jing: "It's too much, you actually want to hurt Mr. Shen Yilang."

Catfish Spirit hurriedly hid behind Reiko with his head in his arms, completely losing the momentum he had at the beginning: "Who let that kid spoil my good deed! Don't look at me like that, I won't trouble that kid again, and I don't want any Compensation. Ahhh, I am so unlucky, humans and carp are really annoying!"

"Reiko, did Mr. Catfish say something?" Shinichiro, who couldn't see or hear, could only ask Reiko for help.

Reiko glanced at the hopeless catfish spirit behind her, and sighed: "It said it doesn't want to make up, and it won't bother you again."

"That's right..." Shinichiro was a little disappointed, "It's great, Reiko can see monsters. I really want to see them with my own eyes, even if it's only for a moment."

"Even if you have to face the pursuit of monsters and the strange eyes of other humans every day?" For some reason, after seeing Shinichiro's envious expression, Reiko blurted out this sentence as if complaining.

Like a shy big boy, Shinichiro scratched his head in embarrassment: "I don't know what kind of feeling it is, but even so, I want to touch the warm existence of youkai."

Is it warm...

Reiko raised her head, her amber eyes looked at the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

"It's time for me to go. The time I can stay here has reached the limit. I am really happy that I can thank you in the last time. Farewell, Shinichiro."

A gust of wind suddenly appeared and blew past Shinichiro's ear, and the churning water in the pool told him that Jin had turned into a dragon and flew towards the sky that belonged to it.

A large number of water droplets fell from the sky, forming a rainbow of seven colors; the clouds in the sky were scattered one after another, and a white trace stretched far away. Is that the Dragon's Land that Jin is going to?

"The brocade turned into a dragon must be beautiful, right?" Shinichiro looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

"Yes, it's like a rainbow." Reiko looked at Jin who was flying in the sky accompanied by colorful streamers, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

With Jin's departure, the overwhelming coercion for the monster gradually disappeared, and the small pond returned to its former appearance.

"Okay, let's go home. In the future, don't keep thinking about relying on the power of devouring others to strengthen yourself. If you practice hard, even if you rely on yourself alone, you will become a great monster in the future." Reiko smiled at the catfish spirit Said.

"Are you leaving?" Catfish Spirit stood by the pool, looking into Reiko's eyes.

"Yes, although I don't have much sense of belonging, if I don't go back, I will cause trouble for others." For some reason, when he said "go back", Catfish Spirit always felt that Reiko's expression was a bit lonely at this time.

"Can you tell me your name? You don't need to write it down, just tell me. Although my memory is not good, I will try my best to remember it." Reiko bent down with her hands behind her back, at a place very close to the catfish spirit, Showed a big smile.

In the past, I always thought that if I exchanged names, I would become friends, but I was afraid that I would forget the name of the monster, so I always asked the monster to write down the name and make it a precious "friend book".

After learning the importance of names to monsters, she couldn't unscrupulously plunder the names of monsters.

Even so, Reiko still wants to know those names, maybe she will forget them in the near future, but at least at this moment, they will become "friends" who have exchanged names with each other.

"Catfish whiskers, my name is catfish whiskers."

Weak monsters are different from those big ones. After transforming into a dragon, Jin is no longer afraid to tell others his name, because human beings cannot be bound to it by name because of its powerful strength.

And for weak monsters, just telling them is dangerous, but Catfish is willing.

"It suits your name very well, it's as cute as your beard." Reiko pinched Catashi's beard viciously, and gently pulled it out.

"Don't touch my beard!" Catfish was a little annoyed.

"Then, goodbye, Natsusu." Reiko straightened up and waved her hands to Natsusu, leaving a back view with her skirt flying.

Like so many monsters who have formed a bond with Reiko, Catsushi watched Reiko leave silently.

Reiko said it was cute... This is the first time a human said it was cute.

When it becomes as powerful as Jin one day, go to the human world to find Reiko!At that time, when Reiko touched its head, it would definitely not avoid it.
