[Noragami] I was not there

The end of one relationship also means the beginning of another.

The deserted street, the dim lights, the girl Axi stretched out her hand to the helpless boy—this seems to be a very wonderful beginning, but there is always something wrong with the following script——

The blond boy's eyes moved from the hand in front of him to the other's face, and then rolled his eyes over: "Why should I go with you?"

"..." Kanaki's expression froze for an instant, and then she retracted her outstretched hand and patted her face back. She looked like a strange aunt.

The blond boy squinted at her: "You can actually see me."

"It's more than I can see." Kanaki lowered his head helplessly, bent his knees, and squatted down to look at him at the same level. His voice became rough due to a severe cold, but he didn't stop easily when he opened his mouth, "Let's put it bluntly, this Younger brother, you put the air conditioner on here 24 hours a day without taking a break. Most people are okay, but it is simply devastated for my physique. Now every time I play, it’s like bringing my own refrigerator. I’m already on the verge of collapse There are seventeen or eighteen bends."

The young man froze for a while. He hadn't communicated with humans for a long time, especially humans who talked so much. He looked away uncomfortably: "What's the matter with me? ... And who knows if you belong to those strange things?" Partners, they are all so talkative."

Kanagi knew that the strange things he was talking about must be those slimy demons and ghosts.It's useless to say more now, she put her hand on the back of his hand. Although she felt his slight pause for a moment, the temperature in her palm had been well transmitted to him.

"Feel it?" She raised her head and said to him, "It's warm."

"...Well, it's really—" The coldness on the young man's body seemed to be driven away by this warmth. He instinctively turned over his hand and held her hand with his palms facing each other. "It's warm, very, very warm."

Kannaki nodded in relief, and told the truth about this beautiful scene: "Of course, I actually feel like I still have a fever."

"..." The boy let go in a second, moved to the side with a wooden face, and didn't forget to rub it on the ground, as if his hands were stained with something dirty.

Kanna hid his fish eyes: "What do you mean, hello?"

"Disgusting." He said decisively, turning his face to the side without even turning his eyes.

"..." Kannaki twitched the corner of his mouth, covered his mouth and nose and coughed violently again, his internal organs were about to shatter.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for this kid's selfless devotion to the cold, she wouldn't be defeated by a cold, and now he dares to despise her, and she is not a viral cold... Forget it, that's not the point.

It's not easy for Shennai to be relieved, looking at the boy, one side of the eyebrows is getting higher and higher, she can tell that his temper is definitely inversely proportional to his good-looking face.

Seeing this as a communication failure, she stood up on her knees, thinking that it would be more practical to post two warm babies at home.

It's just that she was about to say "good luck to you" to him, but he had already stood up, one step faster than her——

"Let's go."

"Eh?" Kanaki was dumbfounded, didn't he mean that he disliked her?

"...It's so cold." The blond boy hugged his chest and trembled. Seeing that there was no movement behind him, he glanced back at him impatiently: "Didn't you tell me to go to your house? Why are you still standing there? "

"..."

Kanaki swears, she really wants to slap him in the face at this very second.

<<

Just like that, Kanagi returned home with another strange boy, used some nonsense in the living room to prevaricate his parents' inquiries about rushing out of the house just now, and then returned to his room.

After these few days, she felt that her ability to tell lies had improved a lot.

Kanaki turned on the lights in the room and asked the boy to sit anywhere. She had noticed on the road just now that he only walked on the side with street lights, and he would walk very fast in places where the light was not visible.

It seems that this kid is not only afraid of the cold, but also afraid of the dark, but since just now, he hasn't cooled down anymore, maybe it's the environment here that makes him feel at ease.

She originally planned to continue the unfinished bath just now, but seeing the young man in her room who seemed a little helpless and brave, she decided to let the bath water just hang out.

Xiong Guixiong, no matter what he said, he was just a child. He was a few years younger than her when he died. She was a little dizzy from the fever before, so what she said was indeed a bit too much.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Kanaki." She eased the awkward atmosphere and said to the boy, "Although I don't know the reason for your stay in the world, if you are willing to tell me, I will definitely try my best to to help you."

"Reason?" He was a little confused, and after a while, his expression was a little trance, and he looked at his outstretched hands and muttered, "...the reason...why am I still here?...Speaking of which, why did I die? Woolen cloth?"

Kannaki frowned slightly. It seemed that his memory was incomplete. For Ling, all kinds of possibilities would exist, such as Qi Haizheng's obsession with his daughter during his lifetime, or after death for some reason. of forgetting.

"Although it is inappropriate to ask now, do you really not remember anything?... For example, names or something?"

"I can't remember... I can't remember anything..." He withdrew his hands, raised his lowered head suddenly, and said to her, "I don't know, so can you stop asking?!"

"I'm sorry." Kanagi felt that he really didn't ask tactfully enough, which was irritating.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. I am indeed dead, and I have forgotten who I am." He said as he sat cross-legged on the floor, resting his chin on his hands as if he didn't care, but the expression in his words still betrayed him.

Kanagi didn't know what to say to comfort him, maybe she shouldn't say anything more at this time, it would be more practical for her to find a quilt first, and she couldn't bear to give another quilt to someone else tonight.

When she brought back the quilt from outside the house, the boy was very surprised. He pointed at her, and his words were far less eloquent than what he said just now: "You, what are you going to do?"

Kannaki looked at him inexplicably: "Obviously, I'm holding the quilt."

"What are you doing with the quilt?!"

"I'll sleep with you."

"I sleep here?!" He pointed at the bed dumbfounded, his face flushed.

The corner of Kannahi's eyes twitched, she couldn't understand why the first one and the last one were the same, she consciously thought that she could sleep in bed, did she seem to be such a selfless person?

She walked up to the boy who was still in shock with a blank face, loosened her hands readily, and dropped the quilt to the blanket on the floor: "You sleep here."

"..."

"...Let me tell you, did you show a slightly disappointed expression just now?"

"No!" He doubled his voice, then weakened again, and glanced elsewhere, "I don't remember anything, do you still want to help me? ...It's not a good thing to have a dead spirit .”

Kannaxi rubbed his forehead, took out a tissue to rub his nose, put down his hand and patted his shoulder: "Indeed, I am a person who is afraid of trouble."

"..." His expression was a little ugly, as if he was saying, "That's right."

"But I took the initiative to ask you to come with me. I will take this responsibility to the end." She threw away the tissue and grinned at him. Although she knew that she would not smile very well, she just wanted to convey her heart .

Hearing this, the boy's body stiffened, but soon softened again. He glanced sideways at Kanaki, who seemed to have said a very handsome line, and muttered softly: "...that smile is so ugly."

"..." Kanaki's smile instantly shattered into pieces of glass—

It's really strange, why does she have the feeling that she is not an opponent at all?

……

Even if she was sleeping, she left a desk lamp for the young man. Kanaki lay down after making sure that the young man under the bed had slept soundly. She soon fell into a drowsy sleep, but when she was one step away from the dream, there was a sound in her ear. A cool breeze swept by—

"Hey Hey hey……"

Kanna Kiqiang cheered up, half awake and half asleep: "...what are you doing?"

"Can't sleep."

"Count sheep."

"Can't count."

"Hit the wall."

"I am already dead."

"..."

"It's so cold."

As soon as she heard these two words, Kanaki's eyes widened, and she felt that she was about to have a nervous breakdown.

Kanaki could still think of the boy's appearance when he said this, she sighed, took out an arm from the warm quilt, touched the sheet and reached under the bed: "I said, if you don't mind, you can hold it. "

"..."

There was a long silence, just when Kanaki felt that she was making fun of herself and was about to withdraw her hand, there was a cold touch and a slight grip on her hand.

He didn't make a sound, this age is really awkward.

Kannaki pulled off the quilt and closed her eyes: "Okay, let's go to sleep."

After a while, the boy's voice sounded again: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, why does this carpet have a strange smell?"

Kannaki was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes again: "...Because there was someone like you who stayed here for a night before."

"Here? . . . Who is it?"

"...a very, very, very, very strange god." Kanagi paused, and all he could think of was the figure of that person. Although most of the shots were poor shots, occasionally there would be a few handsome pictures flashing through ,"but--"

"what?"

"I... miss him."

<<

A good night's sleep.

At least for the past few days, it was the first time that Kanagi felt that he didn't have the uncomfortable feeling of wanting to die after waking up. After the cooling boy's problem was solved, the cold medicine also began to work.

The person under the bed disappeared, and the quilts that were placed on the floor were really in the style that boys of this age would make.

Her health was better, and it was Sunday to rest again, so Kanaki was naturally in a good mood. After cleaning up, she went out of the room and went to the living room. The voice there should be that her father, Kazuhiko, was watching the morning news.

"Good morning, Dad." Before anyone arrived, her voice came first.

"Morning, Axi."

"Morning, Axi."

"morning……"

...Wait, why did two people respond?

Kanaki paused, and then immediately ran to the living room, and as expected, she saw the guy who had disappeared early in the morning sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, and waved her hand to say hello when he saw her, and beside him was pressing the remote control His own father is looking at him strangely at this moment——

"What's wrong?"

Kanagi looked back at the boy, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "No, nothing."

……

Mother Kanayuki went out early in the morning, but she had already left breakfast.

Kannaki was eating with Kanna Kazuhiko, but he felt uncomfortable, mainly because there was a spirit beside him who couldn't enjoy the food and was staring resentfully.

But there was nothing she could do, there was nothing she could do.

Maybe it was because the eyes were too lethal, Kanaki coughed again.

Kanna Kazuhiko put down the newspaper and said to his daughter, "Axi, you should go to the hospital for an examination. You have been coughing for so many days."

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days, and you don't need to go to the hospital." Kanagi patted her chest to calm her cough. As long as her illness improved, she would not go to a place like the hospital where the chance of encountering ghosts was 100%. It's terrible.

"Then you should be more careful... By the way, why haven't you seen you wearing glasses these two days?"

Kanaki stroked the empty bridge of his nose and replied, "It's no longer necessary."

"Dinglingling——" Kanna and Hiko were about to say something, but were interrupted by the ringing of the phone, and quickly got up to answer the phone.

Kanaki looked at him while eating breakfast. Although he didn't know what he was talking about, he only knew that his face was getting worse and worse. The words still did not go on, and the conversation turned around and said "I know".

Kanaki watched his father come back with a worried face, swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't I say it before? Our publishing house signed a popular writer before. Although he was mysterious all day long and used all kinds of strange excuses to delay the manuscript, the novels he wrote were both good in terms of sales and word of mouth. Amazing."

"So? Is he procrastinating again?"

"No, I don't know what a good day it is today. He called just now and said that he was going to hand in the manuscript. He could have solved it by sending an email, but he prefers to use the manuscript." Kanna Kazuhiko pushed down his glasses and sighed helplessly. He breathed a sigh of relief, "The election is due again today, and there is another important meeting on the side of the competition committee of the Literary Awards, and the two sides happen to be in opposite directions."

Kannaki vaguely remembered that this incident seemed to be very important to Kanna Kazuhiko, and after thinking about it, he suggested, "Why don't I make a trip to get the manuscript for you."

Kanna and Hiko were delighted, but seeing their daughter's pale face: "But, Axi, your cold..."

"It's really okay, it's already much better, and going out for a walk is good for your health." Kanaki interrupted his father's concerns, and said, "And you have been preparing for the competition committee for a long time."

Kanna and Kazuhiko nodded after thinking about it: "Okay, then I will leave Dad to Axi!"

"no problem."

<<

"The pen name is Xiao Miao Can, and it's a pure love novel." Kanaki, who just got off the subway, held the mobile phone in her left hand to read the introduction of the writer on Wikipedia, and held the address that Kanna Kazuhiko gave her in her right hand. "I always feel like a young woman in her 20s."

"It should be a beautiful big sister." The person behind followed silently.

Kanagi glanced back helplessly: "Don't care if he's beautiful or not, why did you follow me?"

"Staying at your house all the time has nothing to do." The blond boy put his hands in his jacket pockets and said it as it should be.

"...Up to you." Kanaxi turned around, there were already two passers-by looking at her inexplicably just now, it would be better for her to talk less to him in crowded places.

Along the way, Kanagi asked a lot of people to find the apartment mentioned on the address. I heard that it was a studio specially allocated by the publishing house. The treatment of this writer is really not ordinary.

Going to the door, Kanaki rang the doorbell——

"Ding-dong-"

"Here we come." Soon, a male voice came from inside the door, accompanied by the sound of pattering footsteps.

"..." Kanagi was taken aback for a moment, let alone the question of why it was a man, just talking about this man's voice, where did she hear it?

familiar? ...No, it should be quite familiar.

The door opened, and the man in the back room first revealed his unkempt chestnut hair, then raised his head and said to the visitor: "I'm really sorry, I asked you to... eh?"

Kanaki was also stunned by the "eh": "... Hiro, Mr. Hiroto?"
