Chapter Seventy-Two: A Different Life Begins
"Natsume, I'm sure you've already learned from your parents that you're going to go out to practice. Natsume's reaction was half a beat slower, and then he reacted and said that Inari said before that he would give himself a shrine seal, let himself be in charge of a Inari shrine, and grandpa would arrange an identity for himself, and stay there as a clergyman, if it's good, I think it's this thing, right?
"Yes, yes, my father told me before I came, is it done now, and I'm leaving?" asked Natsume curiously.
"Well, yes, your dad has news, and the shrine you're going to has also been decided, and it's a small shrine in Shinno that serves as the oracle there for three years, and it's a pity that your high school may need to spend there. ”
"Ah, have you decided? When are you going?"
Grandpa looked through the calendar, "It's the end of August now, and there is still about a week to go, and high school is about to start, but you are almost going to Xinye now, so you have to familiarize yourself with the environment first." ”
"Let me introduce you, this is the Fujiwara couple from Shinno, this is Fujiwara Shizu and his wife Fujiwara Tako are distant relatives of your own father, and this time you need to live in their house for three years. My grandfather introduced a middle-aged couple who had been sitting in the reception room and around the table without speaking.
"Hello. Natsume bowed and bowed cautiously. I think back to my memory, because my parents died when I was still young, my memory has long been blurred, but I vaguely remember that it was a man who would sit in the corridor with him in his arms, smiling very gently, and his face had already been blurred in the long river of time.
"Natsume-kun, Natsume-kun. Lost in thought, Natsume was woken up by Aunt Fujiwara, who looked a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, I got distracted, I remembered something from the past. Natsume said apologetically to Aunt Fujiwara.
"It's okay, Natsume-kun still calls me Aunt Tazi, right? ”
"Please don't be so polite, I'm going to ask you and Mr. Fujiwara for a lot of advice, and if you bother for a while in the future, please bear with me if there is anything wrong. ”
"Okay, don't say any more of Natsume's extra polite words, you go up and pack your luggage first, maybe tomorrow you will have to go to Shinno with Mr. Fujiwara and Mrs. Fujiwara. Nakamura Miyaji sent Natsume away, and Natsume also went back to the room to pack the luggage he needed.
After Natsume left, Nakamura Miyaji turned sideways and continued to say to the Fujiwara couple: "Please also ask the two of you to stay in the house for one night, and let Natsume go to Shinno with you tomorrow." ”
After speaking, leaning over the luggage, he pushed a business card from the table to the Fujiwara couple with both hands, "Please also take care of Natsume, Natsume's experience is not allowed in accordance with the family rules to contact him, this is my business card, if Natsume has anything, please contact me." ”
Mr. Fujino took the business card on the table, and saw that it was a simple business card with only one name written in ink, and turned it over to a string of phone numbers, and understood that it was a private business card, "Don't be so polite, this is what we should do, then we will bother at the house for the night." ”
----------------------------------------------- I am the dividing line that passed overnight-------------------------------------------------
When I saw Natsume again, Natsume had already gone to Shinno, and my school status was transferred to the high school here, and I successfully lived in the Fujiwara couple's home.
That's when I learned that this is where my grandmother used to live, and that my deceased grandmother had the same power as me to see things that others couldn't, so I was ostracized by my surroundings, and how I knew it was that time.
I was sealed with the ability to use divine power when I went out to practice.,I can only use divine power on a small scale after entering the torii gate and stepping into the shrine.,But I've been busy with various matters of transferring schools and haven't reported to the shrine.,So I don't even have the ability to mobilize spiritual power.,Even though that's the case, I can still see youkai.。
So on the way out of school that day, I was chased by two youkai, "Where? where did she go? That woman?" Natsume, who was running through the woods to dodge, thought angrily that this was the wrong person recognized by the youkai?
"Where? where has she been? Where is that woman?" A youkai with long white hair, a kimono, and only one eye persistently chased after Natsume.
Unbeknownst to Natsume, two students in the same uniform as Natsume walked on a road in the woods.
"Of course, I have to go to the beach for part-time work! One person said excitedly.
"Wow! By the sea, maybe you can have a beautiful encounter with the crush. One of the people next to him teased excitedly as he could.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure you'll be able to meet..."Before he finished speaking, Natsume was startled by the rush out of the bushes on the side, "Huh, Natsume, what are you doing?"
Natsume looked back at the two of them, "What are you doing?"
Absentmindedly looking around, "No... What"
The two of them looked at Natsume, who was behaving a little strangely, suspiciously, "Is it nothing?
"Hmm," Natsume replied, patting the dirt on his pants, "By the way, is there a shrine around here?"
"What," the two replied, although they were a little confused, "the words of the shrine." There was one through the bushes," replied, pointing to the woods over there.
"Thank you. "Natsume thanked him and turned around and ran.,See that when I get to the shrine, you'll repair this monster of yours well.,Why do you keep chasing me.,I'm so embarrassed.。
"Hey, Natsume," the two watched Natsume run away, "What's wrong with him?"
A strange wind blew from the left side of the two, and the strong wind blew the hair and clothes of the two of them messy, and only after the wind blew did they say, "What happened just now?"
"What a gust of wind!"
"That guy is really weird, I haven't seen him talk much since I transferred to another school. ”
"It gives people a sense of unapproachability, and they ask me, 'What are you doing?'" The two of you discussed Natsume, who had just left, word by word.
