After taking a few steps, he turned around and said with a treacherous smile: "Natsume-sama, you don't have to keep sneaking the wine glass behind you, because I've seen it all." ”

Natsume awkwardly stopped his hand hiding the wine glass behind him, and smiled flatteringly at Miko Sakurakami: "Sister Miko, you won't tell your parents, right? I only drank a little bit, really only a little bit." As he spoke, he gestured with two fingers to show that he had really only drunk a little.

"Okay, the concubine won't tell Inari-sama and Amaterasu-sama about your secret wine, so go to the study! ”

Natsume still seemed a little uneasy and continued: "Sister Miko, you must not tell your parents, I am also curious to see that my father drinks every day, and I have to secretly study what the taste of wine is when I taste it." "Alright, okay, I know, let's go!" Sakuragami Miko waved and disappeared above the lake.

Natsume got up and straightened out his crumpled clothes on the ground, and walked towards the mansion, still wondering in his heart that since the last time he returned from Tianhe, his parents' official duties have become more and more busy, and even his uncle, who is idle on weekdays, has been pulled out, why is there time to teach me the study of the god tattoo at this time? But it's also good to take this opportunity to ask my father when he can let me go out to play, I'm almost suffocated in the mansion.

Walking quickly towards the mansion, Natsume is not very willing to turn into a little fox unless it is very necessary to change from Natsume's ability to become a human form, mainly because his legs are too short, and it is too inconvenient to go to anything.

When he returned to the mansion and walked into the study, Inari was dealing with the mountain of official duties on the table, and when he heard the movement of Natsume's sliding door, he raised his head and said to Natsume, "Natsume, have you finished learning the basic divine pattern?"

"Yes, Father. Natsume knelt on the other end of the table in front of Inari and replied obediently.

"Little Natsume, you used to call me Dad, but now that you have grown up, you don't kiss your father at all, obviously you called your mother 'Mom' yesterday, why did you become a father when it was my turn? Inari sat there without any tears and pretended to cry, without the slightest sincerity in her eyes.

Natsume, who is just a little fox, can't fight Inari's cunning old fox who doesn't know how many years he has lived.

I had to compromise and say: "Dad, I have grown up now that I can no longer be coquettish like when I was a child, and the title of Father represents my respect for you." ”

Inari began to play tricks, "I don't care about this, I see that you just don't like Dad and me anymore, do you dislike me for being old?"

"There's no such thing at all, Dad, your face has been like this since the first day I saw you, and it hasn't changed for so many years, it's still the same handsome, how can you get old. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Really, yes Dad. Inari looked at Natsume, who answered his words with a blank face.

Seeing that Inari finally stopped dwelling on the headache from before, Natsume began to try to divert Inari's attention.

"Dad, I heard that you called me here today to teach me about learning the Divine Pattern, but I have almost mastered the basic Divine Pattern, are you going to start teaching me the higher-level Divine Pattern today?"

Inari was changed the topic by Natsume, and the conversation between the two finally got back on track again, "The basic divine patterns have been mastered, and you don't have to worry about the more advanced divine patterns learning, now let's continue to talk about your mastery of the basic divine patterns." ”

"Now how far have you mastered the use of the basic divine pattern?"

"The divine pattern of several basic elements such as wind, fire, water and soil has long been memorized in my heart, and there is no big problem with daily use, in terms of proficiency, the use of the divine pattern of the element of wind is the most proficient, even if it is a whole day of stepping into the air, there is no problem. ”

"Oh, isn't there a problem with just using it?" Inari pondered with one hand on her head.

Suddenly, Inari, who was sitting at the table and still meditating, disappeared, and disappeared without a trace in front of Natsume's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Before Natsume could come up with a reason, several fireballs suddenly appeared in Natsume's already empty study and began to attack around Natsume.

At this time, Natsume, who didn't know anything, also understood, this is Inari began to test the study of his divine pattern, and began to evolve the learning of divine pattern into actual combat.

According to the theoretical principles of the five elements of mutual restraint, gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, and fire and gold, Natsume began to silently begin to control his own divine power in his heart, and used his divine power in mid-air to write the divine pattern of controlling water.

While condensing the divine pattern, he also had to devote a part of his energy to dodge the fireball that roared past him, and finally condensed the divine pattern of the water system, and controlled the water flow to catch the fast fireball that turned to extinguish it, and Natsume was already tired and out of breath.

This is the first time Natsume has used the Divine Pattern in actual combat, although he has been studying the knowledge of the Divine Pattern very carefully, and he still seems a little rusty when facing the battle, but it is already very good to be able to adapt to the situation in the first battle with the Divine Pattern.

Before Natsume could breathe a little, a second wave of attacks followed, without any premonitions and special fluctuations, no longer a single elemental divine pattern attack, as if suddenly appeared in the room.

When Natsume first noticed that something was wrong, the wind was already blowing in the room, but in less than a second, the wind had formed a small whirlwind that eventually evolved into a powerful tornado.

And this second attribute of the divine pattern is only after the appearance of this tornado, the center of the tornado began to appear burning flames, the golden fox fire with the wind, for the entire tornado plated with a layer of brilliant golden light, this blow is really the perfect combination of fire attributes and wind attributes of the product.

Natsume said that he really didn't want to experience the power of this blow in person, because he was just accidentally getting a little closer, and the hairs on his ears were burned bald, and Natsume was very glad that he hid quickly.

For the sake of his own safety, Natsume retreated to the corner of the study to prevent himself from being attacked on all sides, and after retreating to the corner, he only had to deal with attacks from two directions, greatly reducing his impact surface.

Although the position in the corner reduces the range of attacks, it is not easy to dodge the oncoming attacks, and Natsume is embarrassed to hold up the defensive barrier formed by the god pattern to resist the stormy attack.
