"Huh? Didn't Natsume come again today? ”

On the podium, Kakashi looked at Natsume's empty seat and said suspiciously.

"Natsume-san seems to be sick and took sick leave today." Sasada replied.

"Sick? What a fragile guy. ”

Kakashi couldn't remember how many times he'd heard that Natsume was sick since he had come to this school.

"Let's take a look after class."

Kakashi thought to himself, and then began the lesson.

Fujiwara family.

"Kishi, how are you feeling?" Aunt Tazi asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'll be able to go to class tomorrow."

"That's good. Looks like your body needs more exercise. Aunt Tazi laughed.

"Hmm."

At this time, the bell rang outside the door.

"Strange, who's going to come over at this time? Guizhi, you rest first, I'll go down and have a look. ”

"Okay, Aunt Tazi." Natsume replied softly.

Aunt Tazi walked to the entrance and pushed the door open.

The person who met the eye made Tazi stunned for a moment.

"You are?"

Kakashi smiled and said, "Hello, you're Natsume's aunt, right?" I'm Kakashi Hachiki and I'm Natsume's Chinese teacher. Natsume called in sick today, so I came over to see him. ”

Aunt Tazi suddenly said with a smile: "So that's the case, Teacher Qimu has a heart." Come on in. ”

"It's troublesome, it's abrupt, it's a little fruit."

Kakashi said, holding up the fruit basket in his hand.

"Mr. Qimu is too polite, come in."

Tako didn't shirk, took the fruit basket, and welcomed Kakashi in.

Bringing Kakashi to the living room, Tako said, "Hachiki-sensei, you sit here for a while, and I'll call Takashi." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"It's not troublesome, I'm glad that Mr. Hagi was able to come and see Natsume. Please wait a moment. ”

Kakashi nodded slightly, and Aunt Tako went upstairs to call Natsume.

Natsume was sitting on a chair and resting for a while when he heard Tako shouting, "Natsume, Hachiki-sensei has come to see you." How do you feel? ”

"Kakashi-sensei?" Natsume was surprised.

"Yes, the people are already downstairs, if you have no problems, go down. After all, people come all the way to see you. Aunt Tazi laughed.

"Well, okay, I'm fine. I'll go down now. ”

Natsume put on a dress and went down.

The cat teacher yawned and whispered, "Does this guy really have no purpose?" ”

Apparently, his suspicions about Kakashi have not been completely dispelled.

In the living room, Kakashi was looking around at the furnishings.

Although the house looks a little old, it is very warmly furnished.

It can be seen that the owner of the house is a very good person.

Living with such a person must be very warm.

"I felt the power of an enchantment outside the house before, and it must have been arranged by the cat to resist the monsters. But with that kind of strength, it seems that even youkai with a little bit of strength can come in. ”

Kakashi was a little puzzled, the power of this enchantment was really not strong.

You can ask Natsume later, and you should know.

"Kakashi-sensei? It's really you! ”

Kakashi turned around when he heard this, only to see Natsume looking at him with a happy expression.

"Looks like you're almost recovered." Kakashi laughed.

"Well, almost. I'm sorry to worry Kakashi-sensei. Natsume whispered.

"Fool, why should you and I apologize for such a thing. It's not the first day we've met. ”

Kakashi said as he rubbed Natsume's hair.

It's just that this touch seems to feel something strange.

Natsume was very impressed by Kakashi's movements, and when he saw Kakashi suddenly pause, he was a little puzzled.

Kakashi frowned, looking a little strange.

"What's wrong? Kakashi-sensei? Natsume wondered.

Kakashi restrained his expression and smiled, "It's nothing, Natsume, I want to visit your room, can you see it?" ”

Kakashi suddenly made a strange request, and Natsume was a little strange, but he didn't refuse.

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei, come with me."

"Hmm."

The two were about to go upstairs, and Aunt Tazi shouted, "Guizhi, you want to go upstairs?" ”

"Hmm. Aunt Tazi, Mr. Hagi wants to see my room. Natsume said.

"I see. I'll prepare some dessert for you, and I'll bring it to you later. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Tazi."

"Hehe, nothing. Have a good chat. ”

Aunt Tazi said, and walked into the kitchen again.

The two walked into Natsume's room.

Kakashi closed the door and saw a fat cat sleeping on the floor.

"The kitten is really laid-back." Kakashi laughed.

The cat teacher turned his head away, ignoring Kakashi.

The look of a tsundere made Kakashi want to ravage him even more.

So Kakashi walked over to the cat sensei, grabbed him, and rubbed his head.

"Bastard! What are you doing! Teacher Cat said angrily.

"Seeing that you're so cute, I can't help but want to tease you, hehe."

"Bastard! Let me go! ”

Teacher Kitty struggled desperately, but how could he escape Kakashi's clutches.

"Kakashi-sensei, don't play tricks on the cat teacher, it won't be good for Aunt Tazi to see it later." Natsume worried.

"Okay, just let the kitten go."

Kakashi let go of his hand as he spoke, and the cat teacher quickly jumped onto the desk, looking at Kakashi with a depressed expression.

"Kakashi-sensei, is there something wrong with you coming to me?" Natsume asked.

"Well, there was no such thing. Just come over and see how you're recovering. It's just that after I came, I found out that there was a problem. ”

"Huh? What's the problem? Natsume wondered.

"There seems to be something strange about you."

"Strange stuff?"

Hearing this, the cat teacher also looked at Natsume's body, moved his nose, and said, "It seems a little strange." ”

"Didn't the kitten find it before?" Kakashi laughed.

"I just didn't see it in a moment!" Teacher Cat shouted.

"It's really not upright."

"Humph!"

"Kakashi-sensei, what the hell is it?" Natsume said nervously.

"I can just feel something on your back, if you want to see clearly......"

Kakashi said, his left eye glowing a faint red.

Writing Wheel Eye!

Teacher Cat was shocked when he saw this, what a strange power!

And...... So powerful!

The three hooks turned, and the thing behind Natsume immediately showed its original appearance.

It's a banshee with a bird-shaped mask!

"Damn, I was discovered, but I won't give up!"

As she spoke, the female youkai pounced on Natsume.

Natsume was startled, and threw a punch right on the banshee's mask.

Bang!

There was a crisp sound, and the mask shattered.

Kakashi was a little surprised when he saw this, and said, "Natsume's fist is really not simple. This punch goes down, I'm afraid that it's a high-level monster and it's not comfortable. Sure enough, the powerful demonic power still has an effect. It's just that Natsume doesn't seem to know how to apply it yet. Otherwise, there is no need for bodyguards at all. You're right, kitten. ”

"Hey, this kid's character, where would he learn that kind of hurtful move."

"That's right."

Thinking of Natsume's character, Kakashi also said more.

However, if you don't want to learn the moves that hurt others, you can still learn the moves to protect yourself.

This kind of thing, Kakashi also has.

His gaze shifted to the banshee who had been knocked to the ground by Natsume, and there was still a white piece of paper hanging from her face with the word bird written on it.

"I'm sorry to scare you, I don't mean anything ill. It's just that I can't get out of the dam on my own, so I'm attached to you. The banshee immediately apologized.

"It turned out to be you, no wonder I fainted at that time, I thought it was heat stroke." Natsume said suddenly.

"I'm sorry, but I have someone I'm going to see anyway, even if it's from a distance."

"Someone you want to meet?"

"Yes. So...... Can you please help me find him? The banshee knelt down in front of Natsume as she spoke, looking very sincere.

"This ......"

Natsume was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter.

After all, until now, he didn't quite agree with youkai.

"It doesn't look like I'm here for a friend's account." Teacher Cat said.

Seeing Natsume's embarrassed look, Kakashi said, "Natsume, if it's inconvenient for you, let me come." ”

"Kakashi-sensei? Can it really be? Won't it bother you? Natsume worried.

"Don't worry. I'm alone at home, so I don't have any worries. I know you want to help her too, but you're just afraid of getting into trouble, right? Kakashi laughed.

Natsume nodded and said, "Then trouble Kakashi-sensei." ”

"Little things. Little bird, what's your name? ”

"My name is Yan."

"Yan, you go back with me first, and I will help you find the person you are looking for." Kakashi said.

Yan Xi said: "Really? Thank you, Kakashi-sama. ”

"Alright, Natsume, you can rest well. Remember to come to class tomorrow. ”

"Well, I will, Kakashi-sensei."

At this time, Aunt Tazi came over with dessert.

"Guizhi, Mr. Hagi, this is a little cake I made, you can try it."

After Aunt Tazi put it down, she left again.

Kakashi smiled, "Natsume, Aunt Tako is very gentle. ”

"yes."

Natsume answered, with the same smile on his face.

After eating dessert, Kakashi took Tsubame back to his home.

"Yan, where did you originally live?"

"In a dam, I was supposed to come out, but because it hasn't rained recently, the dam has dried up. That's why I was able to come out of Natsume-sama's body. ”

"I see, who are you looking for?"

"I only know that he lived in Futaba Village twenty years ago, named Taniozaki, and I don't know anything else."

"Twenty years ago? It's a distant day. And I haven't heard of the name Futaba Village, so I guess it's gone, right? Kakashi said helplessly.

"I'm sorry for you, Kakashi-sama."

Seeing the sincerity on Yan's face, Kakashi smiled, "Don't worry, since I agreed, I will definitely help you find it." ”

"Thank you, Kakashi-sama."

"But why do you want to meet that person?"

When Yan heard this, she showed a look of remembrance.

"I was originally a chick, and not long after I was born, I fell out of the nest and landed on the ground. Kind-hearted humans put me back in the nest. But my parents hated the human smell of me and left. ”

"Because of their departure, the brothers and sisters who were still in the nest starved to death. In the end, I was the only one left. I'm sad and sad inside...... In the end, he became a demon. ”

"But one day onwards, one of them kept bringing me food, probably thinking of me like a wild cat or something. But it was because of him that I survived. So, I wanted to meet him. ”

Kakashi touched his hair when he heard this, and said, "I see. But he should be just an ordinary person, and he can't see you. Even if you say thank you, he won't hear you. ”

Yan smiled: "It's okay, as long as I can see him, I will be very satisfied." ”

"Is that so? Well, I get what you mean. ”

For Yan, seeing that person is enough.

The next day, Kakashi inquired about the whereabouts of this Taniozaki.

Don't underestimate the ninja's intelligence-gathering abilities, it's not that difficult.

Once he had the address, Kakashi took Tsubame to the man's house.

"Yan, that's that man's home. He should be back soon, too. ”

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Kakashi-sama! Yan said excitedly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man slowly walked from a distance.

Yan said excitedly: "I feel it!" His breath! ”

After Yan finished speaking, he rushed away and ran in front of the man, chattering non-stop.

Kakashi stood still, quietly watching the scene.

Taniozaki was walking slowly towards his home, unaware that there was a youkai talking to him.

He didn't respond, and he didn't feel anything strange.

And Yan kept saying something, with a happy look on his face.

Seeing this, Kakashi seemed to have touched something soft in his heart.

It's close, but it's never visible.

It's just that even so, does she feel satisfied when she sees it?

"Youkai, what a strange creature."

A gust of wind blew and blew the paper on Yan's face.

Kakashi was stunned.

Beneath the paper, there are closed eyes......

She...... Unseen?

By the way, she said before that she smelled the breath......

Is that so?

Until the end, she couldn't know what he looked like.

And wouldn't he know that there was such a person who had been watching him from afar?

A grateful will not only not be reciprocated, but will never be known.

It's a bit sad......

Kakashi sighed, flicked his fingers, and the fox mask on his left hand flew out and attached itself to Tsubame's body.

For a while, Yan froze his body, only to feel a powerful demonic power rushing into his body.

Taniozaki walked slowly, but suddenly heard a voice behind him.

Taniozaki was surprised, and when he looked back, it was a young girl with a white piece of paper with a bird written on her face.

At this time, the girl screamed miserably, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?"

Yan was stunned and looked at Taniozaki blankly.

He...... See yourself?

"I'm fine, Mr. Tanio."

"You know me?" Taniozaki said a little strangely.

Yan glanced at Kakashi in the distance, only to see Kakashi smiling slightly.

Yan seemed to understand something in her heart, and her face was full of gratitude.

"Well, Mr. Taniozaki, long time no see...... Thank you ......."

"Thank me? Why? Taniozaki was puzzled.

"Because you've been ......"

The wind blew and bent the corners of the girl's mouth.
