After returning home, Natsume was a little distracted until dinner, immersed in his own thoughts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Amaterasu saw that something was wrong with him and asked with concern, "Natsume, is there anything unhappy?" "Mom, did you say that youkai are idle?" Natsume asked, after a little hesitation

"Idle? Why do you ask? Amaterasu felt a little strange.

"There's a monster that always haunts me these days, and he always appears out of nowhere to scare me, mom, isn't he very idle?" Natsume struggled to explain the cause of his headache.

"Natsume is not idle, it's because of loneliness!" Amaterasu's tone was a little strange.

"Lonely, why is he lonely?"

"Youkai, gods, and humans are not the same, as long as they want to, the demon and divine power are strong enough, they have a long time. After countless births, old ages, sicknesses and deaths, the full moon and the lack of the moon, all they are left with are memories and endless loneliness. Ordinary humans can't see them, and when that youkai finds out that you can see him, I'm afraid I'm very happy! Follow you to be friends with you. Amaterasu explained.

"Lonely...... Am I really like him for a long lonely time? Want to be friends with me? Why didn't you just tell me and just play tricks on me? I'm probably embarrassed! Natsume explained it to the dryad herself.

The next day, it was the weekend and I didn't have to go to school. Natsume woke up early in the morning, and the messenger who brought him his daily kimono said strangely, "Natsume-sama, today is Saturday and you don't need to go to school, and Amaterasu and Inari-sama also said that there are too many people at the shrine today, so it's not safe to go to the shrine." You need to sleep more when you're still growing up, and it's still too early to go to bed, right? Natsume said, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up." Natsume got dressed and saw the envoy who was about to push out, and shouted, "Yakumo Yi envoy, can I ask me something?" The divine envoy named Yakumo Yi stopped, turned around and knelt in front of Natsume's side, "Willing to serve you, my little master, Lord Natsume." Hearing Yakumoyi's cautious answer, Natsume was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a small question." "Okay, Natsume-sama, please speak." "Yakumo Divine Envoy, how long have you lived?" "How long have you lived?" Yakumo was a little surprised by this question, "I, I was born in the Muromachi period, and I was not a divine envoy at that time, but just a little fox!" It was also six or seven hundred years ago. "This ...... This has been so long? Natsume was dumbfounded, feeling incredible, "Won't you be lonely for such a long time?" Yakumo smiled slightly and recalled, "Lonely! I've had many friends and I've lost countless friends. Some are humans, some are monsters, and some are gods, but none of them can withstand the test of time. The life of a human being is very short and passes in the blink of an eye, and the yokai with a long life will disappear for various reasons, and the gods of the changing times will also disappear into the world because there is no one to worship them. Whenever a friend passes away, I feel the loneliness that suffocates me, but it is the existence of these friends that makes me not lonely! Now I'm the messenger of Lord Inari, and there are countless beings around me who are as old as me or even older than me, and we're friends, so I'm not alone right now. After speaking, Yakumo Yi got up and bowed, and after bowing, Natsume, who was still thinking, retreated lightly.

After Yakumo left, Natsume thought to himself that the youkai who had been chasing him turned out to be because he was lonely and found out that he could see him and haunt himself, right? Just because it's lonely, it's ...... Just like my old self, that kind of loneliness. Natsume thought of this, opened the door forcefully, put on clogs at the entrance, and disappeared from sight without even changing the home kimono on his body, and the room still echoed with the voice of the divine envoy shouting "Little master......" "Natsume-sama, you haven't ...... yet".

Natsume, dressed in a cyan kimono, ran to school and didn't stop until she ran to the tree, holding her knees and panting for breath, her cheeks flushed with the blush of intense exercise, and large drops of sweat popped out of her forehead and then slid to the ground, evaporated by the rising temperature. Natsume, who had finally stabilized his breath, hurriedly spoke, "Are you there?" Dryad "Dryad slipped from a tree and fell into the grass under the tree" You're really, rudely! Little ghost" Natsume subconsciously replied when he heard the word rudeness, "The person who scolds me is really rude, right?" The dryad was dumbfounded. So what name do you teach, and what should I call you? Natsume asked. Name, I don't have a name yet! The dryad replied blankly. Shall I call you Sakurahaku? Because you're a cherry tree and your hair is white. Natsume looked up at the dryad. Sakura white sounds good! From now on, my name will be Sakura. Sakura Bai opened her mouth with benefits, "What is your name, little ghost?" "Natsume, Takashi Natsume, this is my name." Natsume told Sakurahaku. "Takashi Natsume...... Then I'll call you Natsume in the future, Natsume, why did you get here today, it's your human weekend? No need to go to school. Sakurahiro said to Natsume as she dangled her feet from the tree. I'm here to find you," Natsume blurted out, only to find that he hurriedly covered his mouth. Sakurabai floated down from the tree and said, "So Natsume came to me!" "No...... No, I'm not" Sakurabai laughed out loud when she saw Natsume's reaction, causing Natsume to stomp on her feet like a fried kitten, and retorted loudly, "I didn't come to you specifically." He turned and ran away. (╮(╯_╰)╭This is tsundere, that's right!) ）

Seeing Natsume running away, Sakura Bai also chased out, Natsume, who had been running for a while, turned around and wanted to see Sakurabai, Sakura Bai took Natsume back and slipped in front of Natsume, looking back but didn't see Sakurabai, Natsume looked a little low, turned his head and was scared by Sakura Bai standing in front of him and sat on the ground, and the two who were stunned looked at each other speechlessly and laughed. On this day, Natsume and Sakura Bai ran together on the road, playing tricks on the kappa basking in the sun by the river, going to the water's edge to fish but in the end it turned into a water fight, the sun was rising day by day, the temperature was rising, and the two who had no strength to play but were very happy fell together on the grass by the river and looked at each other, looking up at the white clouds flowing in the sky, "The weather is good!" Is it? Sakura white. "Well, that's a rare good weather!" In fact, the weather is the same at this time of year, and it's only the relationship with the people who are together that the weather feels special! Sakura Bai thought with her hands behind her head and closed her eyes.

When it was time for lunch, Natsume said goodbye to Sakurahaku, "Sakurabai, I'll come back to you in the afternoon, I'll bring you afternoon tea." Natsume's eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile. Okay, Natsume must come. "Sakura Bai looks a little lonely." Okay," Natsume waved goodbye. Natsume, who had returned home, had to finish his meal quickly, and after greeting the family's divine envoy, he rushed out again with a box of three-color balls. Coming to the cherry tree of the promised cherry white body, Natsume raised the steamed bun he was holding as if offering a treasure, "Look I brought meatballs, the meatballs in this store are super delicious, come and try them." "Really? Let's try it! I know a great view let's go there to eat, right? "Okay" The two of them packed delicious food and went straight to the place where Sakura Bai said, and saw a convenience store in the place they passed by, Natsume also went in and bought two ice creams, and asked Sakura Bai to wrap the ice cream with magic power to prevent the ice cream from melting. After a while, the two of them sat in the upper reaches of the small waterfall deep in the forest, while enjoying the scenery of the waterfall below, licking the ice cream that was still intact. Before leaving, Natsume happily said to Sakurahaku, "Sakura, we're friends now, right?" Asked with some expectation. Hearing Natsume's question, Sakura Bai was a little stunned and suddenly remembered something, and immediately replied in a proud voice, "Ahahaha, how can such a high-level existence of mine become friends with a little ghost like you, I'm just watching you have fun." After saying that, Sakura Bai disappeared. Natsume, who was standing in place, stood there as if he had been struck by lightning and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and finally walked back home as if he had lost his mind.
