[Comprehensive] Coax you to sleep

Holding the back seat of the car in her hand, Makoto Shirakawa followed Natsume Takashi step by step.

Her steps are small, every step Natsume Takashi takes is her two or three steps.In order not to be held back and to keep up with Natsume Takashi's footsteps, Shirakawa Makoto put her head down and walked straight without speaking.

Follow Natsume Takashi out of the bustling town, which can be considered a bustling town, and come to the quiet countryside with only the sound of insects.

The cool wind that dissipates the summer heat has been blowing the green wheat waves from the other side of the mountain. The wheat that has been stalked and eared has a faint smell.

The sunset in the evening is no longer as bright as before, it is like a scolded child aggrieved and restrained its own radiance.

Burnt fiery red fire clouds piled up there, wandering in groups of twos and threes in the already somewhat dark sky.There are also some crowded in the lower corner of the sun, which is very comfortable.

Life here is completely opposite to life in the city. Compared with the fast pace of big cities, Mako Shirakawa still enjoys the leisurely life here.

She suddenly stopped, and Bai Chuan Maxing stood still on her T-shaped legs, her waist was tilted back 45 degrees, and her arms were raised in a straight line.

Her fingers moved, she grasped some non-existent object, and the other free hand moved back and forth along the direction of the arm until a saturated semicircle was drawn.

The index and middle fingers are slightly apart, and the arrow is balanced on the arm.Simulating that what she was holding in her hand was the bow and arrow she kept at home, Makoto Bai Chuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, there was only that far away, neither near nor near, far away. The sun hanging in the sky.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) ), she followed Natsumeki who was waiting there waiting for her with small steps) Chi.

"It's a great momentum." The wheels rolled forward, crushing the pebbles and uneven bumps on the path, Natsume Takashi praised Shirakawa Mako without hesitation.

"Hey, really?" After being praised, Bai Chuan Maxing blushed, she pinched her earlobe, trying to cover up the blush on her face.

Natsume Takashi raised his drooping eyes as he carefully steered the bicycle over the small potholed mound, "Really, come on for the archery competition on the 22nd!"

Before the corner of her mouth raised, she suddenly froze there. Makoto Shirakawa stared blankly at Takashi Natsume, "Brother Natsume, how do you know that I have an archery competition on the 22nd? I don't remember that I told you."

Opened his mouth, Natsume Takashi suddenly closed it again.Worries and struggles appeared in his eyes, and finally he smiled without any meaning, "Because ah, this is what 'Master God' told me."

"Master Shenming?" Makoto Bai Chuan, who did not expect to get this answer, was stunned, and she frowned in confusion.

Contrary to what Natsume Takashi thought, Shirakawa Maakyo didn't insist on continuing to ask, but walked with her chin in thought along the way.

Just like that, Natsume Takashi parked his bicycle in the courtyard as he went back to Grandma Shirakawa's house in silence.He reached into the basket of the car and picked up Mr. Cat who was still in a coma.

Poking Shirakawa Mako who was unaware of the changes in her surroundings, Natsume Takashi looked at Grandma Shirakawa who heard the noise coming from the house, "Xiaoxing, we are home."

"Eh? Oh." Dazed for a moment, Bai Chuan Maxing nodded, she went up to support Grandma Bai Chuan, and called out, "Grandma."

Confused and at a loss, she became depressed for a while, but Bai Chuan Maxing quickly cheered up again.She covered up her mood just now, not wanting Grandma Bai Chuan to find out anything.

"Xingxing is back, how is it? Did you look for a cheap shop on the road for a long time?" The town has changed a lot, and it has become prosperous in just half a year.

"Yes." While supporting Grandma Bai Chuan to walk inside, Makoto Bai Chuan replied with a smile, "It gave me a headache and I searched for it for a long time."

"I said Xingxing, you must have been looking for it for a long time, and you still don't believe it." Grandma Bai Chuan let her granddaughter support her with a smile, and Natsume Takashi, who was behind them, followed them into the house with a smile.

***

Lying on the bed, Shirakawa Makoto turned over and looked at the bright crescent moon outside the window.She pulled the quilt over her chin and stared at it without blinking, as if studying the patterns on it.

There is a cool breeze, the constant chirping of cicadas, the annoying buzzing of mosquitoes that are close at hand, and the chirping of insects outside the window.

After staring until her eyes were swollen and sore, Makoto Bai Chuan gently withdrew her gaze.She flattened herself, closed her eyes and tried to lull herself into sleep.

Can't sleep, seems to be insomnia?Bai Chuan Maxing sat up depressed, she scratched her hair in frustration, and turned her head to look at the bulge on the tatami.

Scratching the back of her head, Makoto Shirakawa stood up and called softly, "Brother Natsume, are you asleep?"

It seemed a little bad to disturb Natsume's brother's sleep like this, Shirakawa Makoto stopped her wanting to get out of bed to see if Natsume Takashi had fallen asleep.

She gently pulled back the quilt and tiptoed to the door.Shirakawa Makoto moved very carefully, for fear of waking up Natsume Takashi who seemed to be asleep.

Walking to the toilet in the dark, Makoto Shirakawa groped the wall a few times and turned on the light.After turning on the faucet and washing her face a few times, she looked at the faint bruises under her eyes and sighed.

Wiping off the drowsiness and water drops together, Shirakawa Makoto rubbed her eyes a few times, then turned off the light and went back to the room.

Let's sleep peacefully and honestly.Covering her body with the quilt, Makoto Shirakawa turned sideways to lie down and sleep.

"I'm still awake." Suddenly opened his brown eyes in the dark, Natsume Takashi looked at the lines on the ceiling and quietly answered Shirakawa Maakyo's question that he hadn't gotten an answer before.

He put aside the cat teacher who ran to his chest and was sleeping on his stomach at some point, Natsume Takashi got up and looked at Shirakawa Mako who was stunned by his sudden sound.

"...Brother Natsume, you haven't slept yet..." said dryly without any emotion, and Bai Chuan Makoto patted her flat chest unconsciously.

"Well, what's the matter with Xiaoxing calling me?" Natsume Takashi showed a smile that was almost the same as in the daytime without a trace of tiredness on his face.

Because of the "Book of Friends" left to him by Reiko's grandmother, monsters kept coming to him in the middle of the night to ask him to return his name. Natsume Takashi is used to staying up late, although he will definitely feel sleepy the next day.

Makoto Shirakawa felt guilty for waking up Takashi Natsume because of her small actions, "Well, brother Natsume, I'm sorry for waking you up. Go back to sleep, I won't move anymore." She shook her hand and grabbed him again. Take a look at your hair.

"I was... I just woke up before Xiaoxing and you entered the room." Natsume Takashi wanted to say that he was awake, but as soon as he said the words, he remembered that he didn't answer Shirakawa Makoto just now, so He had to change his mouth.

"Brother Natsume, if you just woke up, why did the first sentence say 'I'm still awake'? It's so strange." Makoto Shirakawa, who was at a loss, asked her question straightforwardly.

This is very embarrassing, Natsume Takashi coughed lightly, and he changed the subject solemnly, "Speaking of which, Xiaoxing, what are you calling me for?"

Thanks to the fact that it's night, it's still the kind of black and blind.Otherwise, the embarrassing redness on his face would be clearly seen by Bai Chuan Maxing.

Pressing her lower lip, Shirakawa Makoto thought for a moment.She shook her head and said honestly, "I just want to see if Brother Natsume is asleep."

"...I didn't fall asleep." Repeating this sentence again, Natsume Takashi silently moved the dishonest Mr. Cat, who had taken up so much sleep, to that side.

"I know... Otherwise, who is talking to me now?" The completely meaningless conversation made Bai Chuan Maxing a little bit overwhelmed.

The two of them fell into silence again very directly, speechless for a long time.Bai Chuan Maxing couldn't bear her temper at first, she moved a bit, "Otherwise, let's go to bed first?"

"It's possible that the person talking to you was a monster or something. A Xing, do you know so well that it must be Brother Natsume?" Takashi Natsume raised the issue without warning, and he said something wrong, "Maybe The me I am now is not the me I was before.”

"Eh?" Shirakawa Makoto met Natsume Takashi's eyes shining in the dark, she was startled, and then she smiled stiffly, "Brother Natsume, what are you talking about? What about you now, what about you before?" You? In my heart... Brother Natsume is Brother Natsume, how could it be someone else? There is nothing wrong."

Squatting in a strange place, Shirakawa Makoto's last words seemed to be brainwashing herself, making herself firm in her beliefs.

"Is it in your heart?" Natsume Takashi chewed the word carefully, he half-closed his eyes and didn't continue, "That's right, after all, that's how things are."

"Enough!" Overheard the conversation between them, Mr. Cat didn't want to continue pretending to be asleep, and it jumped up with a very, very, very flexible and unbelievable movement.

The funny-looking face was extremely serious, Mr. Kitty sharpened his paws on the tatami, and he glanced at Takashi Natsume who was sitting there.

"No matter what it is, whether it's forgetting or remembering, you shouldn't do this, right? The current development is different from what you said before. That idiot is too kind to agree to this strange thing. It's not a good thing to know."

"It doesn't matter to me again, if it's a big deal, I'll tell you everything. Anyway, it's not bad here, and I can take that idiot to dominate the monsters here." Teacher Cat couldn't help thinking about it. I took Natsume Takashi to punch 300 million gods, kick the lord of monsters, and dominate the world.

It's also very refreshing to think about it, it smashed it and said, "Although I still want the friend account on this idiot."

Natsume Takashi's body froze, he tightened his grip on the quilt, smiled wryly, "You're right, I'm sorry."

Squinting at Takashi Natsume, Teacher Cat showed some impatience towards Makoto Shirakawa, who didn't know why, "Little girl, go to sleep quickly, that strange girl fell asleep..."

At the most important juncture, Natsume Takashi promptly covered Mr. Kitty's mouth that couldn't bear the "secret" at all, and he quickly glanced at Mako Shirakawa who hadn't noticed the loopholes in Mr. Cat's mouth.

Natsume Takashi turned around with the cat teacher, he covered his lips, and said to the cat teacher who was dissatisfied with him and covered his mouth with a voice: "Didn't we agree? Don't mention it in Xiaoxing."

"She should be well aware." Cat teacher washed his face under the sight of Natsume Takashi's dissatisfaction and accusation, and smiled wickedly, "Natsume, if you don't want me to say anything, you have to treat me to it." Seven Tsujiya manju for a week!"

Natsume Takashi has long been accustomed to Mr. Cat's robbing by fire, and he reluctantly agreed, "It's a deal!"

"Meow! It's a deal." The promised cat teacher has already started to think about where to get some wine tomorrow.

"Brother Natsume... what do you mean by what you just said?" Because she couldn't get an answer, she asked, for peace of mind.

As he thought in his heart, Takashi Natsume put aside the topic, "It's getting late, Xiao Xing, let's go to bed."

"Yeah!" The smile never reached the bottom of the eyes, Shirakawa Makoto showed dimples, "Brother Natsume, good night!" With an unprecedented ease.

Watching Shirakawa Mako lie down, Natsume Takashi pinched Teacher Kitty's pink and tender meat pad,

"Good night, may you have a sweet dream."
