[Comprehensive] Aunt Wronged's Original Wish

……

Just when the gift duo was facing the onion.

Youkai commissioned the fourth unit, and the Tianqing team took Zashiki Doji and met a boy in front of the station under unexpected circumstances.

The boy had short brown hair, was wearing a white shirt and trousers, and was slender and handsome. He was holding a cat and arguing vigorously with him at the moment.

[...Natsume-kun? ]

Tianqing fixed his eyes on the young man, confirmed the identity of the other party, and then used his spiritual power to convey the words of greeting to the young man's heart.

And the boy who was still arguing with the cat over there heard the girl's voice, raised his head suddenly, and met Tianqing's eyes.

Seeing that petite girl and Zashiki who was following beside her, Natsume's brown eyes slightly widened again: "Is...it's sunny?"

[Yes!It's really Natsume! ] Tianqing smiled slightly, and the boy who was as gentle as the wind over there had already trotted in front of Tianqing. It seemed that he hadn't seen Tianqing for a long time. The boy Natsume looked at her eyes , what was written was almost unbelievable and anxious: "Are you finally back?"

[Just... can't leave at work. ] Tianqing touched the back of her neck with a guilty conscience. She really couldn't easily say that she had been deducted from her vacation due to poor grades: [Sorry, speaking of it, before I agree to the invitation of the government of time, I should first I discussed it with you. ]

"Well, the situation... I also heard from your younger siblings." Xia Mu stopped three steps away from Tianqing, and asked with a soft sigh: "So, you came back because you saw Zihu right?"

[Well, it appeared very suddenly. ] Tianqing looked up at Natsume, not seen for a while, Natsume seems to have grown a little bit taller - but it was the same as in her memory, it was Natsume's reassuring gentle eyes as always: [It was you who made Zihu come Bar? ]

"...Well, because you left the county, the monsters couldn't find you, so some powers of attorney were accumulated in the messenger's hands. After Zihu heard about this, he told me the situation... Originally, I wanted to directly Give the letter to your younger siblings..." Natsume said this, with a guilty tone.

[You know, if you send it directly to Tianwu and Tianxue, they will complete the work instead of me, and I will be worried, so you try to send the letter to me, right?Thank you for your help. ] Tianqing fully understood what Natsume wanted to express, and smiled gratefully: [Without you, the brothers and sisters would definitely mess up. ]

"...No need." The breeze blew Xia Mu's brown hair, he looked down at Tian Qing from a high position, and then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling softly.

Many things between childhood sweethearts are self-evident.

For example, Tianqing knows that Natsume must understand that what Tianqing has been trying to protect is the future of his younger brothers and sisters. Although Tianqing entrusts most of the family affairs to monsters, in fact, Tianqing I don't want my younger siblings to be exposed to too many things about the world of Onmyoji.

She always felt that her younger siblings were too young, so even if her younger siblings kept expressing their desire to help Tianqing, Tianqing would not entrust her work to her younger siblings when she was not present.

That's why Tianqing made such an arrangement—she was not at home, and ordinary monster commissions would never be sent to Yukino's house; and Natsume made such a decision, she was not at home, and he would not disclose the content of his work Let Tianqing's brothers and sisters know.

[During this time, I know that you have also taken care of Tianwu and Tianxue in various aspects, I am really grateful. ]

Thinking that Natsume must have thought a lot about herself, Tianqing smiled at him.Speaking of which, just standing next to Natsume, her heart feels at ease and warm for a long time. Is this probably the uniqueness of Natsume?

"What's the matter, it's better to say, if only I could help you more." Natsume smiled softly with downcast eyes, his brown eyes reflected Tianqing's figure - he and she have been like this since childhood.

Natsume and Tianqing met when he came to this Yucheng city during one of his childhood summer vacations.

Natsume at that time was the same as Natsume who just came back here, because he was always haunted by monsters, so he was always trembling towards people.

As for the children around him, because they couldn't see the monsters, they almost avoided Natsume who was behaving strangely.

But in that case - Natsume met a girl who could see monsters like him, Yukino Tenharu.

At that time, Tianqing had gotten used to not speaking, because she couldn't use the ability to convey her heart to ordinary people, so the outside world's impression of Tianqing was that she was a weird girl.

Even Natsume was not surprised.

——Until, one evening, Natsume, who was abandoned by the children, met a four-meter-tall monster in the park.

It was a rather strange monster. It didn't look murderous at first glance, but its appearance was quite ugly. At that time, it slowly moved close to Natsume with a resentful expression, and stretched out its cold hand tremblingly to approach Natsume's neck.

The young Natsume was so frightened by what he saw in front of him that he fell to the ground and backed up in a panic until his back leaned against the railing of the outer wall of the park and he had no way out, so he burst into tears in fright.

Then, just as the monster was about to touch Natsume's neck, at the very moment, the monster stopped again, and as if tied by something, the four-meter-high monster couldn't move for an instant.

Natsume stopped crying, and finally saw a little girl behind the monster.

who is it?Natsume couldn't see clearly.

"...Spiritual bondage." She parted her thin lips lightly, and pulled the monster's clothes fearlessly with one hand.

"Huh? You are..." Natsume wanted to see her face clearly, but was interrupted by the girl's next sentence, and she yelled, "Hurry up like a law!"

With a sound of "Boom", the monster just in front of Natsume turned into a paper man in an instant, white smoke was generated out of thin air, and lingered around the owner of the voice, and the little paper man gradually fell between Tianqing's fingers, The big monster between the two disappeared, and Natsume was able to see the girl's appearance clearly.

Shoulder-length hair, amber eyes and fair skin, that lovely appearance...she...is indeed the girl who can't speak.

It seems that he did not expect to meet her when he was in a crisis, and Xia Mu, who even easily repelled the monster, stared at her, so surprised that he couldn't organize his words: "Why..."

[...This monster is named Zhenzhen, and people always think that he is a monster that symbolizes cowardice.He often appears in dark places, dusk...night is the moment of His appearance. Facing Natsume's panicked eyes, Tianqing, who thought he was asking about monsters, lowered his eyes strangely, put the little paper man with Zhenzhen sealed in his pocket, and explained: [Zhenzhen will use Touching a human's neck or back with a cold hand is scary... But fortunately, He usually doesn't do other things, maybe it's because you can see monsters, so it's teasing you. ]

Tianqing approached Natsume step by step, used telepathy to transmit the voice to Natsume's ears, and reached out to him.

And Natsume looked at her in astonishment, and stood up again with her help.

"No, I want to ask you... can you actually see monsters?"

[I am a child of Onmyoji.I already knew you could see monsters, but you didn't want to approach me, so I didn't talk to you. ] Tianqing explained sternly, with some kind of stubbornness in her eyes, but Natsume was poked in her mind, and suddenly felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry."

[No, I understand, because...] Tianqing held Natsume's hand, closed her mouth and continued to convey her heart voice: [Because I can't control my own spiritual skills, I can only communicate with others in this way, but ordinary people This is not acceptable... so I can't make friends. ]

Natsume finally came to his senses, it turned out that this girl had been standing silently in the corner for this reason!

Thinking of this, looking at the petite girl in front of him, Natsume felt the first time in his life—maybe this girl will understand his feelings?After all, Natsume had never met anyone who could see monsters like him before.

Thinking of this, a blush of excitement crept up Natsume's cheeks again, he stretched out his hand to hold the girl's hand, and asked her very excitedly: "...Well, I don't have any friends, so can you be my friend?" ?”

[friend……? ] Tianqing heard a word that had nothing to do with her, a pair of amber eyes, under the setting sun, began to reveal a faint warm color.Thinking of this, she lowered her head again, and said cautiously: [I also hope... to be your friend. ]

"Then it's settled!" Natsume held her hand with a warm smile.

[……Um. ] Tianqing nodded, watching his nose and nose carefully.

……

Recalling this, Natsume turned his attention to Tianqing again.

Although after that summer, Natsume was taken away by relatives again, and lived a life of being taken care of and abandoned by relatives in turn.But the only contact with Tianqing is that no matter where Natsume moves, it will never be broken.And because Tianqing went to school in the urban area, the two would occasionally meet in the urban area.

He didn't tell her about the relatives, but he thought, Tianqing should know, right?After all, she was always obsessed with sharing interesting things with him, but she avoided talking about family members.Natsume has always been very grateful to her, and just like Tianqing has always supported him, he also hopes to support her.

Although they have always been long-distance friends—but until recently, he returned to his hometown, the place where Lingzi's grandmother lived, and the news that Tianqing planned to return to Yucheng City to live and go to school also reached his ears.

Natsume had been looking forward to this for a long time, and was ready to introduce this girl to her friends.

Unexpectedly, she told him at this time that she was going to work in a strange organization called the Government of Time.

...Already, almost half a year, right?

[What's wrong?Natsume-kun? ] Tianqing looked up at Natsume, seeing that he had been staring at her, and asked curiously.

"...Ah, sorry, I was just thinking, I haven't seen you for a long time."

[That's it. ] Tianqing raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at the green scenery of Yucheng City again. Looking at the sunny scenery, her eyes gradually moved away: [...Indeed, it has been many years since we first met. . ]

"Yeah." Natsume walked side by side with her on the road, the breeze blowing through his hair brought him a slight itching sensation.Natsume's brown eyes stared at the rural scenery of Yucheng City. All this changed because of his friend's return: "So, can I help you with your work?"

So, maybe it was driven by this feeling——

Rarely, Natsume took the initiative to ask for assistance in the work of Onmyoji.
