The weather is just blue and white clouds, the scorching sun is sweeping over the earth, the rolling heat wave is filling every inch of the air, and summer has arrived. Natsume and Nishimura Goku Benedict rode their bicycles to a reservoir.

Looking at the bottom of the river, which was about to dry up and exposed to the bottom of the water, Satoru Nishimura sighed: "Ahhh ”

"Because there are very few rainy seasons this year!" Northern Benedictine explained.

"Then we won't be able to fish," Satoru Nishimura said with some pity.

The drop in the water level and the drying up of the riverbed have exposed the soil at the bottom of the reservoir to the dry air, and the houses that had been hidden deep in the water at the bottom have been exposed to the sun again.

"That's amazing! Look, Natsume," Kitamoto exclaimed.

Natsume was also exclaiming, "I'm afraid it's a village that has sunk under the water. ”

Kita Benedictine introduced Natsume in more detail: "It's Futaba Village. ”

Natsume suddenly saw a white figure waving his arms in the ruins of the house under the water, Natsume's pupils constricted, "There are youkai!" Natsume stared at the monster closely, and suddenly the monster's body suddenly distorted, and finally disappeared.

Then Natsume's vision was blurred, and he only heard the sound of leaves being blown by the wind in his ears, and then he lost consciousness, and at the last moment of losing consciousness, Natsume was left with only one thought hovering in his heart, 'It's not good, it's been plotted.' Natsume fell to the ground in a whirlwind, and at the moment he fell into darkness, Natsume saw a gray feather fall to the ground.

Satoru Nishimura and Benedict Kita were startled by Natsume's hard fall to the ground, and hurriedly pushed their bicycles away to check on Natsume's condition.

"Natsume!"

"Natsume, what's wrong?"

"Natsume! Are you okay? ”

Natsume had a dream, like a burning sky, a flock of swallows flying in the air, and then Natsume woke up from the dream, took away the towel covering his face, Natsume wondered, "Is it a dream?" ”

Then I remembered the voice of the cat teacher: "I heard that you fainted, you are really a sick cat." ”

Natsume put down the towel covering his face again, and said a little weakly: "I'm annoyed, Mr. Cat."

The cat teacher seemed to have discovered something, and leaned over Natsume to sniff, "You seem..."

"What's wrong?" Natsume asked.

At this time, someone called the door outside the window, "Is anyone home?" Anybody home? ”

Natsume opened his sliding window, looked down, and then saw a bunch of monsters, and said embarrassedly, "It's really lively!" ”

A youkai with a long face and small eyes wrapped in a black robe flew to Natsume's window from below, and introduced himself to Natsume, "My name is Ryishin, are you Natsume-sama?" ”

"That's right".

The yokai explained their intentions, "We are youkai who have been sleeping under the water with the village, and today we are here to ask Natsume-sama for you to return your name to us." ”

"Underwater? Are you talking about the village in the reservoir? ”

The youkai spoke in a very strange voice, always in one tone and one at a pace, "Yes, it's hard for us to get to the ground when the water is full, so we want to come here while we can still move." Before the words fell, all the monsters below suddenly came up from below.

Natsume was a little helpless, and at this time, Aunt Tazi's voice came from outside the house, "Guishi, are you awake?" While speaking, Aunt Tazi had already opened the door, "Look at you, you haven't even turned on the lights." With that, he turned on the light switch.

At this time, only the open window was left behind Natsume, and the group of youkai had long since disappeared.

"Aunt Tako, I'm sorry to cause you trouble," Natsume said as he touched his head.

"Don't worry, the doctor said you have a slight heat stroke, can you eat dinner?" Aunt Tazi said with concern.

"Okay, I'll go eat."

After Aunt Tazi pulled the door and left, the pile of youkai came out of nowhere, and Natsume turned around and said to them apologetically, "So can I ask you to come back tonight." ”

"Understood," the group of youkai nodded in agreement.

When the moon hung on the branches, a ball of paper had been thrown on the tatami mat in Natsume's room, and the friend's tent on one side had been torn off a pile and became a little thinner, and after returning the name in his mouth, Natsume gasped, "The last one" Natsume lay on the floor weakly, "Exhausted." ”

Hearing Natsume's words, the cat teacher blew up, "Stupid, why do you give them back?" The friend's account has become thinner again. ”

At this time, the last youkai on the side spoke, "Natsume-sama, thank you so much, in return, I'll use my magic mirror to show you something." Natsume wondered about the youkai and said, "There's something attached to you, Natsume-sama." ”

As he spoke, he took out the mirror, and Natsume saw from the mirror that there was a black shadow standing behind him, with his hair scattered and his hands still on him, and vaguely Natsume's own fox fur seemed to explode.

The cat teacher saw Natsume's situation in the mirror, "Sure enough, no wonder I think you smell something." ”

Natsume recalls the attack during the day, 'Could it be that time?' ’

"How dare you make a move on my things, okay, wait until I get you out" The cat teacher sat with his front paws on the ground and prepared for the move, and then slammed his hind legs into Natsume's head with a strong flutter.

A cloud of black fog was knocked out by the cat teacher and lay on the ground, and the cat teacher landed a backflip beautifully, "That's it." The youkai on one side also found a fan out of nowhere, "It's amazing." ”

The youkai that was knocked out got up from the ground and pounced on Natsume, "It's too hateful, unforgivable, you human" ( ̄'i ̄; Then he knocked down Natsume and kissed Natsume's mouth, and that position was called a quasi! However, none of this happened, and then, when the youkai flew towards Natsume, it was punched in the head by Natsume an arm's length away, ending its actions.

Natsume's punch directly smashed the mask on the monster's face, and the monster apologized to Natsume: "It was really rude just now, but I couldn't leave the reservoir on my own, so I had to attach it to you who happened to be passing by." ”

Dressed in a black kimono with brown hair, his face was covered by a cloth with the ancient word "bird" written on it, and only the part of his face that was exposed to the bottom of his nose.

The monster suddenly raised his voice and asked, "I really want to see someone, even if it's just from a distance." ”

"I want to see... of people. ”

The cat teacher lay down and lost interest, "It turns out that it has nothing to do with a friend's account." ”

"So, Natsume-sama, please let me disturb you for a while," the youkai said cautiously to Natsume.
