[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

Chapter 6 Unresponsive Expectations

Qianmian took the pen that Reiko handed it, and with her small body struggled to write her name on the white paper.

It's still early, and Reiko has no plans to go back to class, because Qianmian is a monster that can be seen by ordinary people, so Reiko puts it in her schoolbag to avoid unnecessary panic.

After casually buying some steamed buns and takoyaki on the street, Reiko returned to the forest and walked towards the familiar grass deep in the forest.

It was a very quiet place, occupied by a large monster named Madara.

Madara's body is very beautiful, like a wolf or a fox, with soft white fur.Reiko once wanted Madara's name, so she kept looking for it, wanting to compete with it.

But Madara never agreed once. In Madara's words, "how could the noble one condescend to compete with a human being?"

Madara's fur is too comfortable, and Reiko often leans against it to rest after Madara refuses.

At this time, Madara would always be hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Although she said no, every time Reiko fell asleep, she never moved again.Even if Reiko drools on Madara's beloved fur, Madara still protects Reiko tenderly while showing a disgusted expression.

"Ah! Reiko!" A figure in a blue kimono rushed towards Reiko excitedly, "Are you finally planning to accept my love and my name?"

Reiko seemed to be very familiar with this scene, she jumped to the side lightly, avoiding C's attack: "Did I say that? I'm not interested in subdued monsters."

"It's so sad! But the more this happens, the more I can't stop falling for you. How touching is this haughty look, Reiko." Bing put his arms around himself and twisted on one side, as if thinking of something exciting matter.

Bing is a monster that Reiko accidentally met when she was lost in the forest. She wears a blue kimono with large flowers printed on it, has beautiful blue hair, and holds a pipe all year round.

After Reiko helped her get back her beloved hairpin, Bing claimed to be in love with Reiko and hoped that Reiko could accept her name every day.

However, the more youkai want to get close to Reiko, the more Reiko wants to keep a distance from it.Because I have been alone for too long, I don't know how to respond to those beings who have good intentions for her.

"Really? Goodbye then, C." Reiko smiled at C, then waved her hand to bid her farewell.

"Are you looking for Madara again? I really don't understand how attractive that white beast is." Bing leaned on the tree trunk, knocked on his pipe, and said with a displeased face.

Madara appeared in Reiko's mind: "Perhaps, probably because I feel that sleeping next to it will give me a feeling of being protected."

Do you feel protected?

Bing looked at Reiko's back with her skirt flying, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Stupid Reiko, if you want, let me protect you as long as you want, because I love you so much.

The meadow where Madara is entrenched is still quiet, the sun is pouring down from the sky, the dust is dancing in the light, Madara's huge head is leaning on the front paws, and his eyes are focused on the forest path leading here, as if waiting for someone to come.

"Madara, I brought you steamed buns and takoyaki~" The leaf on top of Reiko's head came out from between the branches, with a familiar smile on her face.

"Hmph, human beings are really stingy, and the food they make is such a small portion." Madara glanced at the bag Reiko was carrying, and snorted coldly with disdain.

"If you don't want it, then I'll go give it to C." Reiko didn't mind Madara's unfriendly tone at all, and pretended to turn around and leave.

"Stop! Since it's a tribute to me, I'll accept it reluctantly." Madara moved her body twice, and said awkwardly.

"Hehe~" Reiko didn't try to expose Madara, but walked to Madara's side very skillfully, and leaned on it, "Sure enough, sleeping on your body is the most comfortable."

"Don't treat the noble me as a sleeping pillow every time!" Madara yelled dissatisfied, but still tried her best to relax the muscles of her whole body, so that Reiko could sleep more comfortably.

Reiko plunged her whole head into Madara's warm fur, and closed her eyes slightly: "Mara, you know, I scared the Tahara couple again today, and I clearly said that I would not cause them any more trouble."

"If you're not happy, come here. You hate humans, don't you?" Madara rolled up a bun with his tongue, swallowed it in one gulp, and at the same time paid some attention to Reiko.

Listening to Madara's slow and powerful heartbeat, Reiko felt drowsy gradually coming up, and her voice gradually became softer: "Yeah, I hate those self-righteous humans. But even if it's just a residence, it's the only place I can go back to." This place is something I must never lose...the place I cherish..."

Reiko's breathing gradually became even, and her face showed an indescribable exhaustion.

Madara stopped eating, turned her head cautiously, and stared at Reiko's sleeping face.

Although such a thin body possesses as much power as it does, human beings are indeed a kind of miraculous creature.But Reiko, who is invincible among monsters, has always been tense, walking in the human world like a tightrope. What is there in human beings that deserves her nostalgia?

Reiko, what else is worth my nostalgia?

Madara lay down and fell asleep in the sunlight with Reiko.

Let Reiko eat the leftover food when she wakes up!In this way, you can become stronger and live longer.

When Reiko woke up again, the sun had already started to set, she stretched her waist, stretched her body, hungry and finished eating the food Madara left for her, and then sighed contentedly.

"Madara is still gentle!"

Facing Reiko's smiling eyes, Madara turned away uncomfortably, and began to chase people away: "Hurry up, hurry up, you have to go back before dark, right?"

Reiko wiped off the residue on her mouth with her hands casually, looked at the sky and said, "That's right, then I'll come to you later, goodbye, Madara."

Reiko picked up her schoolbag and trotted away along the path she came from, her light brown hair fluttering in the air with her footsteps up and down.

Madara watched Reiko's leaving back intently, as if looking forward to Reiko's arrival.

How long is it?For monsters, even a hundred years is just a matter of sleeping.So, sure to see you again soon, right?Reiko.

Go through the forest, go down the mountain, and then follow the path in the field to the town, and then pass the school, and Reiko can return to the home of the Tahara couple.

But while passing the school, Reiko met a person she had forgotten.

"Great, I thought I wouldn't see you today! I'm leaving Yayuan tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye to you today, Reiko."

Reiko looked at the boy in the junior high school uniform with a childish face, and straightened her hair: "It's Shinichiro, by the way, this is for you!"

She suddenly remembered the magic circle she drew yesterday, and took out a double-folded paper from her schoolbag: "This is a magic circle where you can see monsters. If the monster stands in the middle of the magic circle, you can let the original sight Those who do not see see."

Shinichiro unfolded the white paper, and on it was a circular formation, with an eye pattern drawn in the middle, directions marked around it, and some symbols that he couldn't understand: "Really, can you see it? I Can you see monsters too?"

"It's just a possibility. There are some people who can't see monsters no matter what method they use. Anyway, let's try." Reiko turned her face away, not wanting to meet Shinichiro's expectant eyes again.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, shouldn't she give Shinichiro this hope, if she used the magic circle full of joy and found that she still couldn't see the monster, it would definitely be even more sad.

"Thank you, Reiko. Whether I can see monsters or not, I am very grateful to you!" Shinichiro folded the paper cherishingly and put it against his chest, "Because of you, I can have a relationship with the world that I couldn't touch before." I made a connection, and as long as I think that there may be monsters watching me somewhere that I can't see, I feel very, very happy."

Sometimes, the conclusion of a fate does not have to be seen; as long as the hearts of each other can communicate, they will definitely feel the warmth from each other.

"Yeah, that's good."

After returning to the residence, Reiko walked into the door with the strange eyes of the Tahara couple, took off her shoes, raised her head slightly, and showed a mask-like smile: "Don't worry, the matter has been resolved, there will be no disaster descended here."

The Tianyuan couple breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and further distanced themselves from Reiko, with complex expressions on their faces, with seven parts of fear, two parts of awe, and one part of sympathy.

Reiko has lived in this house for three years, and three years is enough for ordinary people who don't believe in the existence of monsters to vaguely notice something.

However, for most human beings, instead of making them really believe that there are such things as youkai, it is better to directly push all the responsibility to the visible Reiko.

This is not a unique behavior of the Tahara couple, but a bad root rooted in the soul of human beings since birth.

Reiko was not affected by this kind of thing. After all, if there is no expectation, there will be no disappointment.

Tomorrow is just the weekend, and Reiko is going to visit Mr. Hakozaki, the exorcist, but before that, she still has things to do.

Reiko drew a formation on the white paper, and then put the friend account that she had been keeping close to her body in the middle of the formation, clasped her hands together: "Things that are tangible, you can see them in the dark, hidden!"

Some black runes surrounded the account of friends and gradually disappeared into the air, while the account of friends lost its entity together with the runes.

Reiko put the invisible book of friends at the bottom of the box and hid it deep in the cabinet.

That's right, even Reiko couldn't remember the number of monster names recorded in the friend account.Whoever owns the account of friends can become the master of monsters—this is a great temptation.

Because of Reiko's guarding, those monsters who are ready to move dare not act rashly, but what will happen if the demon master sees the account of friends?

Compared with monsters, Reiko distrusts humans even more, so she would rather hide the book of friends with an enchantment and stay here, rather than bring the book of friends to those exorcists.

However, people who have seen the same scenery as me are really exciting!
