"There is a group of talented people in the Isotsuki Forest who are appreciated by Mibu-sama, and holding an umbrella for Mibu-sama and those people, and protecting them as bodyguards, is the task of Mr. Snakeme, who is very powerful. Excellent swordsmanship, killing the attacking youkai with a single blow. Isotsuki is a beautiful place, beautiful as a dream, I really want to stay there forever, I thought I could stay by Mibu-sama's side forever, forever, forever, and finally my strings broke. Shallots quietly recounted their experiences.

Natsume sat under the big umbrella of the snake and chatted with shallots, "Just because you can't play the piano, I'll kick you out, that god is too narrow-minded!"

Asashi hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, Natsume-sama, Mibu-sama, he took me in homeless, and I couldn't stand my uselessness and chose to leave. ”

Before Natsume could reply, he heard the voice of the snake coming from the lake, "Caught it, it's a line!" He took the fish to Natsume, pulled the fish's whiskers and said to Natsume, "Look, this thread can be made into strings." ”

Natsume instantly became energetic, "This material is enough, right?"

Snake Me's answer dashed Natsume's hopes in an instant, "No, it's the body next." ”

"Huh?" Natsume looks like a frosted eggplant.

"We went to look for the stumps, and they were the ones that had just grown bamboo shoots. Hearing this, Natsume was already lying on the ground weakly.

The way home was carried by Mr. Snake on Natsume's back, and Natsume fell into a coma due to the influence of the weak shallots in his body, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and you can play the piano." ”

As he walked, Natsume suddenly woke up, looking at this snake who looked very gentle on his back, Natsume thought to himself, "Actually, Mr. Snake likes shallots." ’

Natsume, who was wet in the lake, was concerned by Aunt Tazi at the entrance, "Why are you wet like that." ”

Natsume was a little cold, his hands were wrapped around his chest, and he didn't know what reason to find, "It's nothing." ”

Aunt Tazi didn't have to listen to Natsume's explanation, and hurriedly turned around and went to the room, "Towel, towel, it's not good, Guizhi will catch a cold." ”

Feeling Aunt Tazi's worry, Natsume hurriedly comforted in a loud voice, "It's really okay." With that, he let out a big sneeze.

"Look, look, look," Aunt Tazi brought a thick dry towel and put it on Natsume's head, "Come, wipe it well, it's really soaked!" Aunt Tazi wiped her hair, and Natsume lowered her head shyly.

'I'd love to stay there, forever,' Natsume couldn't help but think of Asa's words.

Aunt Tako dried Natsume's hair and said to him, "Quick, let's go take a shower, it's just boiling water, hurry up and go in." ”

From what Ashalon said before, Natsume couldn't help but contact himself, "How long can I bring here?" According to the decision of my parents and the usual situation of family experience, it is only about these three years, and I will go back when I go to college. Natsume, who was lying on the bed before going to bed, thought quietly, and soon fell asleep.

Natsume's hair after sleeping unconsciously turned into a blue like light onion hair, Natsume also sank into a dream, Natsume in the dream suddenly woke up, sat up and found that there were suddenly more flowing unknown silver objects on his bed, and suddenly the surroundings became crimson, looking along the source of the flow of silver objects, he found that it was actually his own hand, with the passage of the silver object on the back of his hand, Natsume saw his two fingers broken like weathered brittle stones, Natsume's eyes shrank when he saw this scene, and then his entire face began to collapse。

Natsume woke up from his dream in fright, his back was full of cold sweat, and he stared blankly at the ceiling, "That was a dream just now? Natsume said to Snake Eye, who was kneeling beside his bed with an umbrella, "Mr. Snake Eye." ”

"Did you wake you up?" Natsume," Snake asked.

Natsume didn't tell the truth, "Well, but shallots, she's asleep, so let's say it if you want to sleep." ”

Snake didn't wait for Natsume to finish speaking before he spoke, "Asamu's fingers can't play the piano anymore, her illness will gradually dry up and turn into dust, and she can't recover, if you transfer to another 'vessel', you can slow down the process, I thank you, Natsume." ”

"She only smiled in front of Mibu-sama, and that was the last time I saw her play the piano happily, and as she was playing, all of a sudden, her body began to crumble, and her long fingers and radiant cheeks were right in front of Mibu-sama, whom he respected. Tomorrow is the full moon, and the road to the Isogetsu Forest will be open for the time being, even if it's the last time, and I want Ashalion to play the piano again in front of Mibu-sama, so please help me until then, Natsume-sama. ”

"Why, Mr. Serpent, why are you so helpful to shallots?" asked Natsume, puzzled.

Snake chuckled, "I'm just an umbrella bearer." ”

The next day, the weather was fine, and Natsume and Snake began to look for their target early in the morning, "Damn, it's so hard to find!" Snake complained as she jumped up and down energetically.

Natsume, on the other hand, was already exhausted and panting, and said, "I can't find it at all." "Glancing left and right in the bushes" That kind of thing, is there really one here?"

Between the stops and goes, there are already youkai staring at Natsume's tender fat in the depths of the woods, and quietly appear behind Natsume, "What are you looking for?"

Natsume, who was distraught, replied, "A stump with bamboo." ”

"That's in the bushes," the eyeing youkai kindly told Natsume.

Natsume was taken aback, and really saw a stump with bamboo growing in a clearing from the gap in the bushes, "Really, I found it." That's when Natsume reacted, 'Who was I talking to just now?' ’

The voice sounded again: "I told you! I told you! Your intestines are mine." ”

Natsume turned around after realizing it, "Oh no, I talked to a strange youkai." ”

Finding Natsume who was not serious, Snake ran over and complained, "Hey, Natsume, have you looked for it seriously?"

So Natsume, who was wronged, took him to open the bamboo stump that he found after being reminded by an unknown youkai, and the excited youkai slapped Natsume's big palm on Natsume, and Natsume's big one "Well done, Natsume, this is it." Okay, cut it out. ”

Under the shade of the tree, Mr. Snake is using the knife pulled out of the handle of the big umbrella, humming and shaving the body of the piano, Natsume squatting on the ground with his knees crossed, he feels very uncomfortable, fever-like tiredness, although it comes from his own body, but it doesn't seem to come from his own body, is it a shallot?
