I'm Natsume, an ordinary person who can see youkai.

Ever since I was a child, I was at odds with the people around me because I could see youkai.

So, I've been discriminated against.

Some people put this discrimination in action, and some people show it in their eyes.

And I understand all of this.

What I don't understand is why I have to endure this fate.

Because of this, I used to hate yokai very much.

I feel like they took my life away.

I can't grow up like a normal child.

However, as I grew older, I seemed to understand the existence of so-called yokai.

As a child, I met Kakashi-sensei, who is a mysterious being.

Even now, I don't know him well enough.

But he was the first person to really understand me, and I'm grateful to him.

Because of his appearance, I have a little more yearning for the future.

Because I realized that I was not alone.

There seem to be many people in this world who are similar to me.

Kakashi-sensei disappeared for a few more years, but I still firmly believe that I will meet him again.

I went from house to house with various relatives.

They were good people, but they couldn't understand my strange behavior.

So, they were scared of me.

That was until I came to the Fujiwara couple's house.

They were the first and only relatives to offer to come and adopt me.

Moreover, they did not take a tough or reluctant attitude.

They asked for my opinion.

It's something that has never happened before.

At that moment, I felt respect.

I had a feeling that maybe there, I would start a completely different life.

Because these are two very warm people.

I came to Fujiwara's house and started my new life.

That day, I accidentally broke a seal.

So, I met Mr. Cat.

At first, because the cat teacher and Kakashi-sensei had the same voice, I thought they were the same person.

But then the two showed up at the same time and made me understand that it was just a misunderstanding.

On that day, I met Mr. Kitty, and I also met Mr. Kakashi, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

Everything seems to be going in a completely different direction than before, because there is one more thing.

Friend's account.

This relic from my grandmother carries the thoughts of countless monsters for Reiko's grandmother.

I wanted to know Reiko's grandmother, so I inherited a friend's account.

I want to give my name back to these long-awaited yokai and do one last thing for my grandmother.

Teacher Cat became my bodyguard.

Along the way, I've returned a lot of yokai names.

And in the process, I also realized that the monsters are not as scary as I originally thought.

They are also divided into good demons and bad demons, which is no different from people being divided into good and bad people.

I'm glad I met a lot of good demons.

I also formed a friendship with them.

Especially the cat teacher.

Although the cat teacher is sometimes unreliable, with him, I actually have a sense of security inexplicably.

Yokai seem to play an increasingly important role in my life.

I'm even starting to think that it's nice to see youkai.

Maybe what I didn't experience in humans can be filled in with youkai.

That way, it doesn't seem to be bad.

But on this day, I ran into a big problem.

Because a youkai licked my eyes, I lost the ability to see youkai.

Kakashi-sensei said that he would recover in two days, but I felt a little scared.

What am I afraid of?

Can't see a monster?

Haven't I always hated such abilities?

Why do you feel scared?

If I can't see the monsters, all the troubles will leave me, and I can live my ordinary life.

Isn't that bad?

Not good!

My heart was calling.

In the evening, I returned to Fujiwara's house as usual.

On the pillow, the cat teacher sat quietly on it.

I suddenly felt a little sentimental, will I be naïve and can't see the cat teacher.

"Teacher Cat, if you become a real person, I won't be able to see you."

Teacher Cat showed a mocking look and said, "Do you want to try?" ”

Before I could nod, the cat teacher slammed and disappeared.

The room was empty, and there was not half a shadow.

Teacher Cat's noble true body didn't appear in front of me.

The room was empty, and I felt a little panicked.

If all this is true, if the eyes can no longer see the monster, will one day, will there be a real goodbye to the cat teacher.

Why do I feel a little sad when I think of this?

What does yokai mean to me today?

I'm confused.

It doesn't seem like I'm the one I hate anymore.

I stood still, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the cat teacher changed back to the form of a cat again.

"It seems that you really can't see it. In that case, maybe you'll be eaten by a youkai, and I'll be able to take it back to my friend's account. Teacher Cat said with a smile.

I said helplessly, "That's the incompetence of your bodyguard, right?" ”

"Hey, it's not like you're messing around."

The tone of the cat teacher seemed to be mixed with some chagrin.

I don't know how to put it, but I always feel that there seems to be a wonderful connection between me and the cat teacher.

Maybe the moment you take over your friend's account, everything will be different.

That night, I didn't sleep well.

My mind is full of strange thoughts.

The cat teacher doesn't seem to be asleep either, I can feel it.

Was he thinking about something too?

Or are you worried about something like me?

I don't know, but looking at the chubby cat, I somehow have a sense of relief.

The next morning, I was washing up in the toilet.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Natsume, can you see it today?"

Is Kakashi-sensei's voice?

No, it's the true voice of the cat teacher.

I reacted quickly and glanced around, but it was empty.

I said disappointedly, "Not yet." ”

The voice was silent.

I sighed and continued to wash, but was startled when I saw the mirror.

"Loach Beard!"

It turns out that now I can see youkai through the mirror.

It's not as convenient as it used to be, but it's not too bad.

My heart was settled, and it wasn't over yet.

But is it really going to end one day?

Maybe it's when my friend's account is torn, or maybe it's when I can't see the monster......

I wish I never came that day......

I looked at Mr. Cat and said, "Mr. Cat, if one day I can't see the monster, will you still stay by my side?" ”

Teacher Cat gave that mocking expression again.

"Stupid, then I'll leave you with a friend's account."

"Really?"

I'm a little lost.

Could it be that in the end, my contact with the cat teacher is only a friend's account?

I didn't think it was like that.

I've been through so much with the cat teacher, haven't I?

At this time, the cat teacher suddenly said: "But for the sake of your family's good food, I will consider staying for a while at that time." ”

After the cat teacher finished speaking, he swayed his body and walked forward.

"Teacher Cat ......"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed.

I quickly followed, holding the cat teacher tightly in my arms.

"Stupid Natsume! You're holding too tight! I'm suffocating! ”

The cat teacher is constantly struggling.

"Thank you, Mr. Cat."

If one day I can't see you, hopefully that's the day I'll die.

……

I'm Madara, and now I'm called a cat teacher by Natsume's stupid.

Although the name is not as domineering as I used to be, it is barely acceptable.

After all, with Natsume's stupid brain, he could only come up with such a name.

The stupid Natsume did another idiotic thing today and was captured by a youkai.

What's worse is that because my eyes were licked by the youkai, I couldn't see the youkai for a while.

What a fool!

I make such mistakes all the time!

It's not once or twice that I've been hurt by a monster.,Why don't you always have a long memory?

Although it is because of me, it does not change the fact that Natsume is a stupid person.

What's even more hateful is that youkai actually dares to lick Natsume!

If I had met it, I would have eaten it!

This humble youkai actually dares to harm the humans I protect.

That's my prey, how can I allow others to get my hands on it!

Don't you put my name in your eyes?

Damn it!

At night, at Natsume's request, I became a real person.

I wanted to tease him, but when I saw his expression, I was stunned.

That stupid guy has confusion in his eyes.

He can't see me anymore.

I was right next to him, but he couldn't see anything.

Sure enough, it's a big idiot.

I watched him quietly, my white body wrapping it in the center, but he didn't notice it.

I gently leaned close to his neck, snorting on it.

He still didn't notice it.

Suddenly, my heart tightened.

This time it's temporary, but one day, he'll really lose the ability to see youkai.

Even if he didn't, one day, he would die.

After all, he's just a human being.

If you are human, you will grow old and die.

What should I do when that time comes?

Human life is only a moment for youkai.

No, no, he's just my amusement.

Even if he can't see and dies, what does it have to do with me?

I'm Madara, a high-level youkai close to the realm of the gods.

How can you be nostalgic for a human being?

My purpose is just a friend account.

Well, that's right......

I looked at Natsume quietly, and his confused and lost eyes were really uncomfortable.

Hmph, stupid.

I don't want to care about this idiot!

I changed back to my cat appearance and sat on my pillow.

"Well, it's temporary anyway. Do not worry. ”

I said this to make the fool feel better.

It's just that deep down in my heart, I seem to comfort myself like this.

"Well, I understand."

At night, I had insomnia.

I began to re-examine my relationship with Natsume.

This human who resembles Reiko is undoubtedly a fool, but why......

I can't say it myself.

It's just that all of this seems to be different.

I know, Natsume's stupid guy wasn't asleep either.

Was he thinking about something too?

The next day, Loachbeard came early.

"Natsume-sama, can't you see it?"

"Hey, just try it."

I became my real body and called out to Natsume softly.

Natsume looked around blankly.

Sure enough, they still can't see me.

It's really annoying to be able to see the future.

On the way, Natsume suddenly asked me.

"Teacher Cat, if one day I can't see the monster, will you still stay by my side?"

Is this reluctant to me?

I couldn't help but smile, and I was a little happy in my heart.

"Stupid, then I'll leave you with a friend's account."

How can I, who am noble, stay with you, who can't see youkai?

I told myself so.

But when I saw Natsume's lost eyes, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"But for the sake of your family's good food, I'll consider staying for a while longer."

Well, I chose to stay for the food, not for Natsume's stupidity.

After all, the craftsmanship of the girl in the tower is very good.

With that, I swaggered ahead and left the stupid Natsume with a noble back.

Natsume's smile reappeared when she heard this.

He rushed up and hugged me tightly.

"Stupid Natsume! You're holding too tight! I'm suffocating! ”

I struggled to get out of Natsume's arms, but Natsume said, "Thank you, ...... cat sensei"

I was stunned for a moment, but I stopped struggling.

Natsume, you idiot......

If one day you can't see me, I will still watch over you until the end of your death.

This is the promise of me, the high-level yokai, Madara.

Hopefully, that day will never come.
