Before Natsume could speak, the cat teacher had already said "I refuse".

The monster straightened up and argued with the cat teacher, as if the two were naturally at odds, "I didn't ask you, you old tanuki shut up." ”

Hearing this, the cat teacher instantly burst into blue tendons on his forehead, and he scuffled with the monster, stirring up a cloud of dust in the room, "Where am I like a tanuki, you are just a low-level monster, and you are so arrogant." ”

The monster also saluted back while working with the cat teacher, "Look at you like this, I really doubt your taste!"

Not to be outdone, the cat teacher said, "You guy who covers your eyes, how can you be qualified to come to me." ”

The monster's fierce personality is completely exposed: "Are you looking for death?"

In the end, this trouble continued to follow Natsume.,Even the next day in class, the youkai followed Natsume.,After school.,When you lie down in your room to rest.,Even when you're sleeping.,On the way to school.、Break the time to eat between classes.。

In this way, Natsume finally couldn't stand being entangled, and succumbed to the obscenity of the youkai, looking at the youkai squatting in front of him while he was eating, and the youkai opened his mouth and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll help you." ”

Then Natsume began to ask for details, "Don't you have any clues?"

"Yes, I only know that he once lived in this Futaba village and his surname is 'Taniozaki'" the youkai replied meekly.

"That's the village. Natsume touched his chin with his hand, feeling a little tricky, and asked, "How many years ago was this village flooded?"

"Twenty years ago," the youkai said without thinking, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

Natsume didn't have anything to do about it.,He didn't know anything about the neighborhood and had to ask for help.,Hearing Natsume's question, Sasada's squad leader, who was cleaning up the blackboard, suddenly said, "Ah? Taniozaki of Futaba Village?"

Natsume turned sideways with a drink and asked, "Do you know you?" ”

"No, not at all," Sassada gave a frustrating answer.

Natsume lamented, "It looks like we're going to have to fight for a long time." ”

"My father was born in Futaba Village," Kita Benedictine's sudden words broke the deadlock, and Natsume just took a sip of drink and spit it on Sasada's face.

"It's dirty, Natsume-san," Sasada accuses Natsume of his immoral behavior.

Natsume hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry." ”

Then he hurriedly asked about the history of Northern Benedictine, "Northern Ben, is what you just said true?"

"Well, the original inhabitants of Futaba Village have basically moved around here, so I'll ask my father. Kitamoto agreed to help.

After school, Natsume and youkai walked home together, and Natsume took the initiative to say, "Although I used to really want to see someone, but if you don't mind, I'll accompany you to find it." ”

"Okay," the youkai replied, chuckling twice and starting to talk to Natsume, "Natsume-sama, do you have a brother?"

"Nope"

"That's right."

"What about you, are you?" asked Natsume.

"Well, there were four, but everyone died because of me. Natsume was a little surprised by the youkai's answer.

The youkai said again, "Natsume-sama, can I hold your hand?"

Natsume didn't answer or refuse, but after walking a long way, he stopped and stretched his hand behind him, holding the monster's slender and slightly cold hand.

The youkai holding Natsume's hand was very happy, and the corners of his clothes were flying around, "Natsume-sama is so gentle, that's why I'm entangled by youkai." The youkai said to Natsume.

Natsume said angrily: "You are not qualified to talk about others." ”

Holding hands like this, Natsume couldn't help but say, "Your hands are cold." ”

"Yes," the youkai replied naturally.

Natsume was annoyed in his heart, "I didn't mean that, I was trying to say that your hands are cold and feel comfortable." In the end, however, Natsume didn't say anything.

Suddenly, the youkai skimmed over a bird in the sky and said, "Natsume-sama, it's going to rain." ”

"Huh?"

"I know"

Natsume pondered, "Bird with a premonition of rain? I see, you're a swallow!"

"That's right. ”

The cat teacher came out from under the low bushes on the side, "Natsume, I'm here to pick you up!"

Then I saw the two of them holding hands, "What are you two doing?

"You're annoying. ”

"A long, long time ago I was a little chick, and one day I fell off the nest, and someone saved me and sent me back to the nest, but my parents hated me for being a human being, so they abandoned me and my siblings, and my siblings died one by one, and in the end I was left alone, and I was very sad, very sad, and finally became a demon. ”

There was no light in the dark room at night, and Natsume and the cat teacher listened quietly to the youkai tell his story, "But one day, there was a person who was willing to give me food, and he would bring me food every day, he must have thought I was a homeless puppy." But from his scent, I remembered the warmth that sent me back to the nest, and when the village sank to the bottom, thanks to that man I was able to sleep peacefully. ”

Natsume put his hands on his knees and curled up in a curled posture, and listened to the monster's story, "That's it." ”

The cat teacher who was lying on his stomach said "boring" and yawned a lot. (It seems to me that this is a disagreement).

The next day, between classes, "Natsume, here you go." A notebook was sent to Natsume's eyes, "This is the residence of the Tanio Ozaki you asked before." ”

Natsume hurriedly took it and held it in his hand, "Thank you, Kitamoto." ”

Dusk Natsume and Swallow ran on the road in the afterglow of the setting sun "I smell that person, it's close" Swallow said as she ran, she looked excited, a middle-aged man appeared at the corner of the road, Swallow instantly overtook Natsume, who was also running, and rushed towards that person first.

Natsume stopped, holding his knees and panting, but Tsubame had already run to the man and stopped and said something to the man, but Natsume saw the man walk straight away from Tsubame as if he hadn't seen anything.

Natsume's pupils suddenly shook slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Swallow was a monster and the person couldn't see her, but Swallow rushed to the person again and tried to tell something, but the person walked in front of him again, Natsume had a tingling feeling in his heart, and suddenly felt that the whole body was cold. (At this point, I think swallows are so pitiful!!)

"Why, only I can see, she is, so, so, why can I see. Natsume hated the injustice of fate, and at this time, Natsume's heart suddenly remembered what Inari said when he was teaching himself, "The duty of the gods is not to manage, but to protect." The meaning of ".
