It was another sunny day between classes, and two medium-sized youkai full of the aura of two stood in the open space under the window as always, waving the fans in their hands, and shouted to Natsume, who was standing by the window, "Lord Natsume." ”

Natsume once again saw the boy who was standing by the window with him looking out of the window, and opened his mouth to say to him, "Can you see them?" The boy was a little surprised, Natsume would speak to him, "Can you see those two strange things down there?" Natsume asked again.

"No, it's just that I suddenly feel like there are two strange shadows underneath." The boy replied to him, and then said with a self-deprecating smile, "It must be an illusion!" I can always see some shadows or movements, and I'm embarrassed to tell you something strange. I've heard that people named Natsume can see strange things, so I just wanted to talk to him, but I guess it's my delusion! ”

"I can see those strange things." Natsume walked to the young man's side and said, surprised to see the man, Natsume continued, "But don't tell anyone! Maybe it's just the two of us who are weirder. ”

"Really?" The two looked at each other and smiled, "yes!" ”

Although I can't say it well, I've recently begun to understand a little bit, and understand my father's intentions, whether it's a human or a monster, communication depends on the same heart, it's the same when a person is lonely, it's the same when I'm afraid to take the first step, and it's the same when I'm a god.

At night, there was movement outside the window again, and the sound of a bell woke Natsume from his sleep, and Natsume opened the curtains to look out, and Mishino was leaning his huge face to the window to look at him.

"Natsume-sama, please return my name."

Natsume lowered his head and said apologetically to Mishino again, "I'm sorry, I'm really sleepy today, you can talk about it next time!" ”

Sending off Mishino like sleepwalking, Natsume spread his limbs on the mat, and there were a lot of troubles as usual, but I still faintly repelled the youkai from the bottom of my heart, maybe these youkai left a shadow on themselves when I was a child!

"I'm going to school," as soon as he opened the door, he saw the medium-sized youkai sneaking away, muttering as he walked, "Hurry up, walk." Watching the youkai disappear around the corner, Natsume turned his gaze to the gifts left by the youkai at the door, all of which were characteristic of the mountains, wild vegetables and fruits, and even two live fish.

If it's just the occasional thing, it's a good idea to give them a little help.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, the sound of cicadas filling the world, and Natsume is standing in a dazzling sunlight looking at the unknown creature lying in front of him. Since I was a child, I have often seen some strange things, and after being adopted by my current parents, I have also become a monster, and I am accompanied by these strange things all day long.

Is it a kappa? Looking at the beak of a bird, the limbs of a frog, the body of a monkey, and the shell of a turtle in front of him, the kappa, a monster like a complex of various animals (a low-level monster that is afraid of the heat, and whose weakness is said to be the saucer on his head, if he tricks the kappa into bending over and letting the water in the dish on his head run out, he will lose his energy), and is dying on the hot ground after being exposed to direct sunlight, looking like he is about to be roasted, and is weakly shouting "water, water".

Natsume sighed slightly when he saw this, and went to a small shop on the side of the road to buy a bottle of mineral water, twisted the cap and poured the water out of the bottle and poured it into the dish above Kappa's head, and Kappa let out a very comfortable moan.

Unbeknownst to both of them, in the distance in a bush, there was a person watching this strange scene, because in her eyes, Natsume was pouring water into the empty place in the middle of the road, but the water everywhere was completely gone, leaving not a single stain on the road.

The watered kappa came to life, slowly erected his upper body, shook his wet hair, Natsume saw that it was okay and left a "goodbye" and left, only then did the kappa react that something was wrong and watched Natsume leave.

The girl peeping behind the tree saw this strange scene, and a pair of eyes hidden behind the glasses emitted an astonishing light, looking at the face that was gradually becoming clearer, this person was Jun Sasada, the head of Natsume's class.

In the corridor, the squad leader Jun Sassada called Natsume: "Natsume, don't forget!" ”

"Huh?" Natsume is a little unsure.

"What, it's about tonight's test of courage!"

Natsume remembered, "Huh? Do you have to go anyway? I don't really want to go. ”

Jun Sasada held up the folder in his hand and said, "It's just that the number of people is not enough to ask you, why are you so faceless?" Or do you have something else to do? ”

"Not really."

"The old school building will be demolished next week, so this test of courage is the last time, you have to come, we will wait for you." The squad leader, Jun Sasada, said to Natsume without resistance.

At night, the full moon hangs in the sky without many clouds, looking at the vibrant land below, and in the dark night of summer, there are monsters everywhere, and there is still a test of courage, is it okay? Natsume put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked alone on the quiet road with the moonlight, thinking with some concern.

When I arrived at the old school building, a group of students had gathered here to chat, and Natsume was discovered by the Northern Benedictine as soon as he arrived, and the Northern Benedictine greeted: "You're here!" Natsume. ”

Then he pointed behind Natsume in some surprise and asked, "Is that just your cat?" Natsume was a little stunned, and when he turned around, he found that the cat teacher had followed him silently since when.

Natsume directly and rudely stretched out a hand to grab the head of the cat teacher, picked it up and brought it to his eyes, and said in a low but angry voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

The cat teacher raised a paw to stop Natsume's clenched fist and said, "What's wrong, it looks funny to say, I need the protection of bodyguards at this time." ”

"Although it's true, but this is a troublesome thing in the first place, I didn't get rid of it, and now that you are here again, there is no doubt that your arrival has directly upgraded this trouble to another level, teacher."

North Benedictine's words suddenly made both of them jump: "The cat seemed to have made a strange noise just now. ”

Natsume hugged the cat teacher and turned around stiffly and then continued to say stiffly, "No, no, you just heard it wrong." ”

"Really?" Northern Benedictine didn't pursue much and turned away.

With a long sigh of relief, Natsume didn't worry about the cat teacher coming alone, "You definitely don't talk in front of everyone!" ”
