[Noragami] I was not there

Kanaki was in great pain. She had only stolen her mother's clothes a few hours ago, and now she slipped in to get a set of pajamas from her father. She had just gone to the adult world of Roppongi that she shouldn't have broken into a few hours ago. Now it seems that he brought a wild man home... a wild man?

"..."

Kannaki shook his head, and shook this strange pronoun out of his head. Inside was someone singing a weird and out-of-key nursery rhyme and the sound of splashing water.

Ah, her head seems to hurt more.

Regarding his sudden appearance, Yato made a sad expression, and then told her seriously that it was actually because his attire and the smell of tobacco and alcohol were not suitable for returning to the shrine. He was classified as a forbidden user, so he came here tonight to seek refuge, hoping that she would take him in.

"Would you please tell me directly?"

"Don't you think it's more surprising?"

"..."

Well, Yato is now a standard person with no money, no house, no clothes, donating blood, sweat, and courteousness. Although Kanagi really wanted to tell you where you are going back and forth, but when he saw him trembling with his arms in his arms, he still had tears in his eyes. She looked like she was in pain, but she still lowered her noble head.

Then in the next second, this guy jumped into the bathtub with blood all over his body, and splashed water all over her body. Until now, his hair is still wet.

Shen Naixi sighed, she thought that she definitely owed him in her previous life, and it would be wrong to think about it again, she also owed him in this life - five yuan for the bottle that was destroyed.

However, that was probably the only thing connecting her and Yato at this moment.

……

Kanaki's family background is average, the house is not big, the most common three-bedroom apartment, although she really wanted to send Yato's hair to the study, but there was no quilt or bed, she thought about it and brought Yato into her Room.

When he saw the well-washed person consciously wanting to throw himself on the bed, Kana Kiichi pulled him to the floor with the sheet——

"Although it's not as soft as the bed, the carpet is quite thick, so you can survive."

"Axi is too much." Yato rolled on the ground dissatisfied, but quickly accepted the reality that people who live on the ground have no choice.

Kannaki went to bed, shared a quilt and threw it to Yato, and then solemnly reminded: "I declare first, sleep more calmly, if you dare to touch the bed, I will push your head into the toilet."

"Tsk tsk, girls can't be so rude, and I'm a god, how could I do something like taking advantage of the opportunity to bully girls." Yetou sighed, with a heartbroken look that can't be taught by a child.

Shen Naxi raised her eyebrows: "No, I just simply think that you have big plans for my bed."

Yeto's face froze, but he immediately laughed again, but in the eyes of Kannaki, he basically recognized it: "Ahahahahahaha...how is it possible...hahaha..."

Kanaki rolled his eyes helplessly, raised his hand and turned off the overhead light, and the room was plunged into darkness, with only the faint moonlight filtering in through the window.

It was the first time for Kanaki to sleep in the same room with a man, but for some reason, she didn't feel uncomfortable or repulsed at all. Hearing his slight breathing by her side, she felt a little inexplicably at ease.

"Face, does it hurt?" In the darkness, Yetou suddenly asked, with a strangely solemn tone.

Kanaki was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her hand to touch her cheek. It really hurt. Although the wound was washed away, she remembered clearly the pain at the moment of being hit.

Yato answered the words himself: "It must be very painful, I know that feeling best."

Kanaki couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark night, but she knew he was looking at her, but she didn't respond, just listened to him continue in silence.

"Yukaya's artifact is right, you will suffer disaster sooner or later if you stay by my side like this." Yato sighed, as if blaming himself, "I'm really crazy to let a human being stay by my side all the time." .”

"..."

"Well, tonight's accommodation fee just covers the money you owe me, so—" Yato turned over, leaving only the back of his head for Kanaki, he covered half of his face with the quilt, his voice It sounded muffled, "You and I owe nothing to each other, that's all."

Kannaki was taken aback for a moment, she was lying on the bed, still not answering half a sentence.

Not long ago, she was still thinking about how to pay off the debt as soon as possible and fly freely, but now that the words really came out of Ye Dou's mouth, she didn't know how to answer them.

Yato's last words were——

"Good night."

Although I really want to say that you and I met once, we have already saved each other's communication methods, and we can meet up for a cup of tea when we have free time in the future, but Kanaki noticed that Yato's "good night" seemed like The casualness is actually a solemn farewell, as if when they wake up tomorrow, the two will become complete strangers and never see each other in this lifetime.

……why?

Kanaki held doubts, just looked at the back of his head turned away, barely able to see his outline by the moonlight, and there should be the same fragrance as hers on the wet hair.

But isn't that great?

If you think about it carefully, although you have always had yin and yang eyes, the really strange things happened after you got to know this five-element god, and he failed to fulfill her wish to restore her normal eyes.

That's right, as he said, the debt she owed has been paid off, and all she wants is an ordinary life.

"Well... good night." Kanaki said, slowly closing her eyes.

She was obviously very tired, but she still couldn't fall asleep peacefully. She thought maybe she was just...

Hmm, just a little sad.

<<

It was about three or four o'clock in the morning, Kanaki was woken up by the sound of the window closing brought by the wind, she sat up, and subconsciously turned her head to look under the bed——

There was only a folded quilt on the empty carpet.

He left without even a good goodbye.

Kanaki scratched her hair, and her throat was a little hairy, probably because she caught cold after sharing the quilt.She dawdled to get up and planned to close the window, but when she just approached, she saw a white shadow flashing in front of her eyes.

She took a step back, but she was not as frightened as before, probably because she was used to being frightened.

Kanaki looked up and saw that white figure standing on the window sill, she was actually a girl wearing a kimono and wearing a kimono, her exquisite appearance was like a porcelain doll, but compared to these, it was her who just attracted attention The arms exposed under the sleeves were covered with various small seal characters.

...a tattoo?

Although Kanagi didn't know who she was, she was sure that she was definitely not a human being. She paused and decided to ask, "Who are you?"

The girl didn't answer her, but nimbly jumped onto her desk, tilted her head at her, and smiled faintly——

"You're really back."

"……Eh?"

<<

"Who are you--!"

Kannaki let out a scream and patted the table and stood up. The scene in front of her eyes became blurred and then gradually became clear again. It was a spacious and tidy classroom with bright and clean windows, the sunlight was just right, and the students who were studying hard and making progress every day turned to her The shocked face, and the math teacher shaking his shoulders on the podium.

Ah... dreaming again.

Kanaki patted her head, and habitually tried to help her glasses down, but she couldn't find it. Only then did she realize that her glasses had been smashed.

She froze for a moment, then bowed deeply to the teacher who had crushed the chalk: "I'm very sorry, I fell asleep."

"...you get out of here——!!!"

Feeling spittle sprayed all over her face from such a distance, Kanagi had no choice but to run before the teacher came and dragged her out of the classroom with her own hands. It happened that she had a bad cold these two days, so she might as well go to the health room.

"What did the little girl say to me?" Kanaki rubbed his forehead in the aisle, knowing that he had such a dream, but he couldn't remember clearly when he woke up, and he didn't even know whether it was a dream or not. Not guaranteed, "Ah... dizzy."

Kannaki's eyes were black and white, and he quickly stretched out his hands to support the wall so as not to let himself fall down.

Two days had passed since the night of saying goodbye to Yeto, and she also had a bad cold for two days, which didn't get better even after taking the medicine, and it got worse and worse.

However, the injury on the sole of the foot has healed.

"...It's been two days." Kanaki leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the aisle in front of her.

Two days... I heard from Uno Sanqian that the accident that night at ThreeLove seems to have been attributed to man-made sabotage, and the store is currently being closed for renovation.I don't know if they have a solution to the time thief, but there are still so many days to prepare and it should be fine.Honma Nanami and Hiiragi always feel that something is missing... and Yato, that guy really left without saying goodbye, and disappeared completely after that night, and naturally he hasn't come back for the past two days Cengfan, I don't know if I take good care of myself.

Kanaki was suddenly taken aback as he thought about it, then shook his head vigorously, and covered his face with his hands: "...What the hell am I thinking?"

Whether it is Yato, Hongyin, Shenming, or artifact, they are slowly withdrawing from Kanaki's world, and the only trace left is probably that familiar and unfamiliar mobile phone number, which is still in Kanaki's communication record.

She put down her hand, took out the phone from her pocket, looked at the word Yato on the screen and was silent for a long time, then closed the phone again before pressing the call button.

After a moment of silence, Kannaki sniffed, rubbed her hands and continued walking towards the health room——

"Speaking of which, it's been getting colder and colder at home these past two days... Is it an illusion?"

<<

After spending another day in the health room, Kanaki was still groggy.

At this moment, she was walking on the way home, wondering if she should go to order some medicine, but when she didn't look at the road, she found that she had walked to the building behind the house, and she was really dizzy.

Kanaki wrapped her coat tightly, her neck shrinking accordingly, and was about to make a detour to go back, she couldn't help muttering: "...frozen to death."

It's already May, and it's really unscientific that it's still so chilly at night.

It's obviously not that cold at school, it seems that the closer to home, the lower the temperature is not her illusion.

"It's so cold." As if in response, a boy's voice came from the side.

Kanaki just wanted to say a few friendly "yes" when she realized something was wrong.

The surrounding area was very quiet, only the orange street lamps were faintly shining. Kannaki watched his shadow on the ground grow long, and listened to the sound of his footsteps and the sound of the roadside wind blowing against the treetops.

"It's so cold."

She stopped in her tracks, she heard right just now, there was indeed a boy talking, but looking around, there was no one around her, but the voice was so close that it seemed to be speaking in her ear.

Well, this rhythm seems to be unmistakable.

Kanaki found the boy who was talking under a street lamp at the corner. He looked like a junior high school student in his teens, with blond hair and a thin body. He was wearing winter casual clothes this season and was sitting Hugging legs on the ground trembling.

... Sure enough, hell again.

Kanaki silently leaned against the wall and retracted her neck. She was sure that the temperature was at least ten degrees lower at this distance from him. It seemed that she had found the reason why it was so cold recently.

"It's so cold."

Kannaki froze, and told himself seriously to mind his own business, and then went back home by the same route, anyway, it wasn't some kind of spirit binding, and he should leave in a few days.

……should.

"It's so cold."

"It's so cold."

"It's so cold."

"It's so cold."

……

Kannaki sat up from the bed violently, and coughed violently again: "Ah... let 'should' go to hell."

I don't know if it was intentional to trick her, it has been two days since I found him, the phrase "so cold" is like a magic voice, and I can't get rid of it, even in school, it seems to be able to transmit sound for thousands of miles It seemed to be ringing in her ears, and the feeling of icy and earth-shattering was even more like a shadow.

Being constantly frozen is never a good thing for someone with a bad cold, and she felt like she was heading towards pneumonia.

That night, when Kanaki realized that the water she was taking a bath in was no longer hot, she finally lost her mind uncontrollably, wrapped herself in her clothes and killed herself under the puzzled eyes of her parents.

The boy was still under the streetlight, shivering with his legs hugged, his face buried in his knees and he couldn't see clearly.

Kanaki really wanted to snarl and shake his shoulders to make him shut up, but when she saw his confused but clear red eyes when he looked up at her, all her words were stuck in her throat in an instant .

Kannaki sighed as if resigned to his fate, and then stretched out his right hand to him——

"My house is not big, but there are hot soup and hot rice, do you want to come with me?"
