Chapter 66: The Choice
Gu Mingdijue was stunned.
It was the first time she had heard Natsume's roar, but it was more like the frightened and sad screams of the wounded than a roar. The young man's face was hidden under the ugly face, and Gu Ming Dijue couldn't see what kind of expression he was at the moment, but as long as he heard the dull gasp, it was not difficult to guess his current state.
Natsume...... Is negativity starting to spread in his heart now?
Koaki felt sorry for Natsume, but the girl couldn't contain her joy. The more the young man resisted his past, the more likely he was to stay in the Earth Spirit Temple.
Natsume's body also stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head after a moment of silence, apologizing to Komeijiju.
"I'm sorry, Lord Satoru, I lost my temper. ”
The young man seemed to feel a little cold, and stood up with his hands in his arms, and his voice was a little depressed:
"I didn't think I thought my past was just something inconsequential, I-"
Natsume's mind was full of chaotic thoughts, and the outward manifestation was that his speech was incoherent and incoherent. Natsume himself seemed to have noticed this, and he gave up on tidying up his words as if he had given up on himself, and sighed deeply.
"Sorry......"
Gu Ming Jijue pressed his left hand on Natsume's big arm, and gently comforted him. Natsume had never caused her any trouble in the past, but was a great helper, so now, when the young man had some kind of problem in himself, she also hoped that she could give Natsume vision and hope.
"It's okay, Natsume, it's okay. If you don't want to know, then I won't talk about it, and we won't mention his name. That man...... The entire Gensokyo almost thought that he was dead, so he was really dead, and in the future, we would stick to the Earth Spirit Temple, never participate in any incident in Gensokyo, and spend the rest of our lives in the old hell. You see, none of them cared about the old hell, and none of them in Gensokyo paid attention to a deserted mountain and water, and they soared in the sky, their eyes looking at the blue sky, and they would always ignore the dirt beneath their feet. ”
Koaki stared at Natsume with great sincerity, and she could see Natsume's brown eyes behind her through the bulging eyeballs of Pranya, those eyes wandered in fear, but gradually settled down as the words of the youkai girl came.
"Whatever lies ahead, we face it together. ”
The girl said from the bottom of her heart.
This allowed Natsume to return to the calm and calm Natsume of the past. The young man moved his face diagonally to the left side, revealing his true face and fierce scarlet eyes.
“…… I see, thank you, Satoru-sama. ”
He took Gu Ming Dijue's hand and responded slightly to the girl's thoughts.
“……”
Komei's mind went blank for a few seconds, and then she blushed suddenly, and with very little force she tried to break free her hand from Natsume's palm - she didn't have enough time to react to what had happened to her today.
"I'll go fetch the trees, call them back by the way, and then we'll go back to the Earth Spirit Temple. ”
It was obviously impossible for Koming Jiju's insincere little resistance to break free from Natsume, but it sent a signal, so the young man let go of his hand and stood up and stepped forward.
"Wait. ”
Gu Ming Dijue stopped him, and the girl still didn't know anything.
"What's wrong, Lord Satoru?"
The young man turned his head and looked at Gu Ming Dijue. Her cheeks flushed again, but the girl calmed down and asked her question.
"Why do you have to let Ryin and Akon come too? They really aren't interested here, you know. ”
"Satoru-sama, you said that you used to come here with your family to see the cherry blossoms, right?"
Natsume responded without thinking, as if the answer had been echoing in his mind for a long time.
"Then I want you to be able to come here with your family again, and in that case, then Arina and Kong should also be there, so that the whole family can be considered a family outing. ”
"Although my plans have been disrupted because of my affairs, I may not come to the surface again in the future, sorry. ”
She didn't expect Natsume to be so caring, more than several times higher than the EQ he usually shows. Gu Ming was surprised and deeply moved, and he was speechless for a while.
"No need to apologize, Natsume. Thank you for thinking so much about me, I'm so happy. ”
Gu Ming Dijue took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. The girl's eyes were as bright as stars, and even Natsume felt very dazzling.
"Very happy. ”
"It's good if you're happy. ”
Natsume nodded and walked forward.
Gu Ming Jijue looked at Natsume's back, and even she didn't notice it, the corners of the girl's lips were slightly hooked, like a crescent moon.
Natsume walked back three minutes later, carrying the cat in his left hand and the little girl in his right hand, and Lingwu Lukong followed him obediently. Flame Cat Rin was hung in the air by Natsume holding the flesh on the back of his neck, his two tails swaying listlessly slightly, Gu Ming Di Love is also in a similar state, the little girl is a bear child, Flame Cat Rin is a cat, let go of his hands and feet to play with his hands and feet, they are all wild and untamable types, but in front of Natsume, they can only bow down obediently.
"Took the cherry blossom tree?"
Natsume nodded, "Everything is ready, let's go back, Satoru-sama." ”
Komei Jisatoru stood up, patted the dust on her skirt, and walked over to Natsume's side.
A burst of silver-white light flashed, and everyone returned to the Earth Spirit Temple.
Natsume now finally understands that the reason why he was able to pass unhindered in the Hakurei Great Barrier was because of his past identity, which made him a little more jealous of Gensokyo, and the young man had already made up his mind that he would not take another half step out of the old hell, and he kept this firmly in his heart.
"There's a lot going on today...... Let's all go to rest. Natsume, do you need treatment for your eyes?"
"Thank you Lord Jue for your concern, don't worry, it's just blood bursting out of a ruptured vein, and it will be absorbed by the body in two days. ”
"That's good. ”
Gu Ming Dijue, as the owner of the Earth Spirit Temple, took the lead in speaking, and everyone scattered one after another. Natsume put down the Komei Jiren in his hand, sent the flame cat to Lingwu Lukong's shoulder, nodded to Komei Jiju, and walked towards his room. He's been stimulated so much today that his mood has been up and down, and he desperately needs a quiet rest to sort out his thoughts.
Gu Ming Jijue sent Natsume away, in fact, their bedrooms were next to each other, and they should be on the way, but Gu Ming Jijue didn't want to go back now.
She stared at Natsume's back and asked, as if unintentionally:
"Lian Lian, do you like Natsume very much?"
