Natsume's Book of Friends

Shonan hurried back to the shrine after asking the teacher for leave.

"Si, Si!" Xiang Nan kept shouting to the sky.

Sure enough, the man in black appeared.

"Si, why? Why am I..." Seeing Si appear, Xiang Nan leaned forward very excitedly, and opened her mouth to ask.

"I know what you want to ask." But Si immediately cut off Xiangnan's words.

"Then..." He knew... Then did he always know...

"I know your hair hasn't grown all this time." Si said.

"Sure enough!" Xiang Nan couldn't help being dazed when he heard Si's confirmation.

"And your height has not grown, and all your mechanisms have not grown, and you have always maintained a constant state, even if you are breathing." Before he could ask his doubts about himself, Si dropped another bomb.

"Wh...what? You said I..." Xiangnan's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.

"Your body...has never really existed in this space!" Si spoke again.

"What are you talking about... I don't exist in this space. Am I always in the state of a soul? Everyone can see me..." Although he tried his best to analyze rationally, his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"That's not what I said." After saying this, Si was silent for a while, as if he didn't know how to start.

"To explain this, we have to start with this shrine." Si spoke again, but at this time Xiangnan really hated his slow voice.

Because that would make me uncontrollably think about it, and then, be afraid.

"Please! Mr. Si! I've...I really..." Xiangnan supported her head with her hands as hard as she could, but she always felt that she couldn't help thinking, and her mind was already in chaos and uncontrollable.

"..." Si fell silent.He sighed, stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeve to Xiangnan, and then, a piece of gold gushed out from Xiangnan's body, covering Xiangnan's body.

As the light gradually became stronger, then gradually weakened, and then melted back into Xiangnan's body, leaving only a layer of light covering the surface of Xiangnan's body, Xiangnan's emotions were slowly soothed.

"Just now, I released part of the sealed power in your body." Si started slowly, this time Xiangnan listened quietly.

"The original name of this 'Sanqiuqian Shrine' was actually 'Sanqiuqian Shrine'. '把' in the meaning of 'tie'. However, due to the spread of transliteration only, later generations thought it was only for worship in the construction after the shrine was destroyed by a flood. The so-called shrine was built with three swing gods, so there is only one statue." Si turned his back to Xiangnan and explained in his slow and sluggish tone, but it was very clear.

"One god's shrine, and three gods' shrines, there will naturally be obvious deviations in power."

"Because only the God of Swing was enshrined, the power of the other two gods gradually weakened because they were not enshrined in faith. The God of Swing, saddened by the decline of the two friends, gradually cared less about human wishes .So there are fewer and fewer people enshrining, and the power of the shrine is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, it becomes such a dispensable existence.”

"The three autumn gods are the God of Swing, the God of Qiuyuan, and the God of Qiuben. They were the famous commoner gods in the area at that time."

"And the name of your body is Akimoto Kumiko." Si turned around.

"I am, the descendant of God Qiuben?" Xiangnan listened silently, then raised her head, stared into Si's eyes, and continued solemnly.

"That's right. Sure enough, the power of God has been awakened, but it's different." Seeing the aura of the girl in front of him, Si couldn't help grinning in a rare way.

Xiangnan couldn't laugh, "Then, why I didn't grow up in this world?"

"You still remember your previous memory as Xiangnan Onodera. Your memory makes it difficult for you to have a sense of belonging to this world. In other words, in your heart, you are not a person of this world at all!" Si looked directly at Xiang Nan, a sense of oppression hit Xiangnan.

Xiangnan lowered her head, unable to refute.That's right, I can't forget that I am just a person who has traveled here, no matter whether I am wearing a soul or wearing it, I am a wandering soul that shouldn't be in this world, I can't deny this idea.This world is not his own world at all. In this world, there is no such thing as "Shonan Onodera".Maybe, one day, I will suddenly return to my own world...

"I can tell you clearly that you won't have the chance to go back." Seeing Xiangnan's heart, Si said mercilessly.

"How could it be... It's obvious that you irresponsibly arrested the wrong person, I'm just innocent..." Xiangnan couldn't calm down.

"No." Si shook his head, "We caught the wrong one, not you, but the soul that lived in this body for 8 years."

Xiangnan felt a little dizzy, and his brain exploded with a "boom".

"So... it was me, from the beginning, who stayed in her body for 18 years because she got caught wrong?"

"..." No, to be precise, it is 8 years, you should be reborn here when you are 10 years old.For some reason, Si suddenly wanted to complain, but in the end he kept silent.

"But I..." Xiangnan still feels a little confused, although his existence should be here, but... here, the one I know, the one I really know, seems... only Guizhi!

Takashi...yes!Kishi!

Shonan suddenly turned and ran out of the shrine without saying a word.

Kishi, what do you think?

my existence.

in this world.

is not it,

meaningful……

"Natsume-kun... Is Natsume-kun here?" Shonan asked the teacher who was lecturing on the stage, not caring about the class.

"Natsume-kun... has dropped out of school."

His eyes widened involuntarily, Xiangnan hadn't calmed down his breath yet, he raised his head pantingly, and looked at Natsume Takashi's seat, but found that there was no boy with light yellow hair and brown eyes sitting there, nor the boy's black color. bag.

"What... what's going on?" Xiangnan stared at the teacher of Natsume's class on the podium, looking rather fierce.
