Because of Qiao Xi, who can also see monsters, as a companion, Natsume Takashi no longer feels that he is a monster who is different from others.

After learning some ways to communicate with monsters from Qiao Xi, he was able to distinguish the difference between monsters and humans most of the time, and he wouldn't panic too much when he encountered monsters.

- Of course, there is also the reason why the monsters within the protection area of this Qiao Xi shrine are mild.

In short, in the new school, Natsume Takashi no longer showed surprise because he was startled by the sudden appearance of a youkai, and he no longer couldn't tell the difference between a youkai and a human and casually pointed out things that didn't belong to this world to others.

- Except for being quieter and gentler, Takashi Natsume is no different from other ordinary children in school.

And his non-aggressive personality and the fact that there are always some very handsome people or young people or teenagers who come to pick him up after school, make the school classmates think that he is a rather mysterious young master or something.

- This makes him subtly a little popular.

So after a few weeks of school, one day Natsume's children came back from school and happily told Qiao Xi that he had made friends at school.

"So? Then you can invite your friends to your house on the weekend. ”

"Is that okay?"

The children who gradually became cheerful asked a little uncertainly, and their eyes were shining with the taste of eagerness.

Qiao Xi smiled and pinched a ball and stuffed it into Natsume's child's mouth, nodded happily and said, "Of course you can." ”

"Then can I introduce Brother Yaoyan to their friends?"

Takashi Natsume chewed the dumplings in his mouth and swallowed them before tilting his head and asking.

Qiao Xi sighed "hmm" and replied, "You have to ask your medicine research brother if he is willing to ask this question." ”

"...... like this"

Natsume nodded abruptly, and then ran to find Yakuken Fujishiro.

The sword men are theoretically Fu Fushen, and they also belong to the category of monsters, but I don't know why, they are not like ordinary monsters that are bodyless and formless in the eyes of humans without spiritual power, but as long as the spiritual power provided by Qiao Xi stabilizes, their appearance can always maintain the appearance of human beings, and they can also be visible in the eyes of ordinary humans.

- So much so that Natsume Takashi still thinks that the sword men are retainers owned by Qiao Xi as an ancient onmyoji, just like it is written in the book.

Well, it's all the sword men who call the Inquisitor too misleadingly.

- The sovereign, the general, and so on sound like a retainer indeed.

Cough.

———————————————

Yaken Fujishiro is a loyal knife that is quite tall in a short knife.,It's a more stable character in Fujishiro.,In the absence of a single strike, he always shoulders the profession of taking care of his brothers.,It's very good at treating children.。

He can cook, loves to learn, and loves medicine.

- So Natsume's children's favorite sword man is Yakuken Fujishiro.

Swords, as a kind of youkai, also appreciate humans with pure souls and strong spiritual power like ordinary youkai.,Natsume Takashi is such an existence.,So the sword men are no exception.,Especially like him.。

At this time, the child came over to ask, and Yakuken Fujishiro groaned slightly, and didn't ask if Qiao Xi agreed-he knew that the child must have asked the general before coming to him-so he nodded happily.

"Is this the weekend?"

Takashi Natsume, who got a positive answer, immediately laughed happily, and when he heard Yakuken Fujishiro ask about the time, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and hesitated: "I haven't invited yet, but I hope it's this weekend." ”

"That's ......"

Yakuken Fujishiro nodded knowingly:

"It's Thursday, so Natsume-sama can invite the friends you want to invite during class tomorrow, and if it succeeds, we can go out shopping when we come back from school."

"Eh——?"

Facing Natsume Takashi's surprised and convincing little eyes, Yakuken Fujishiro suddenly blinked at him quietly and whispered, "Lord Natsume, you can invite the general to come along." ”

"Huh, is that okay?"

"Yes. If it's Natsume-sama, it's okay to be coquettish. ”

Yakuken Fujishiro said with a smile that made Natsume's children's cheeks flush all of a sudden.

"Sa, spoil or something......"

He stammered and blushed to skip the subject.

- Although Brother Qiao Xi has always been gentle and kind to himself, he is still a little shy when he is coquettish or something.

Natsume Takashi, who was thinking like this in his heart, couldn't help but glance at Qiao Xi from time to time at dinner time.

- Coquettish or something, if the object is Brother Qiao Xi, it's actually okay.

Qiao Xi slowly drank a taste of soup, raised his eyebrows, and watched Natsume Takashi blush for a while and blink his eyes throughout the dinner time, and kept peeking over and over again......

He looked at Yakuken Fujishiro silently.

Because when the child wanted to invite a friend to play at home before, he asked him to go directly to the drug research institute, and then the little guy has been in such a state since he came back, and the reason is that the medicine research company Fujishiro must know.

While taking care of the smaller Fujishiro brothers who were sitting nearby, Yaoken took care of the younger Fujishiro brothers who were sitting nearby, and received Qiao Xi's questioning gaze, which pushed Fujishiro's very reliable short knife in his eyes, and returned a rather reserved smile.

Qiao Xi: "......"

Qiao Xi silently watched the children finish their meals, and then said coldly: "Guizhi? ”

"Huh? Ahh

was struggling with such a profound topic as whether he should be coquettish or not, and if he was coquettish, he suddenly turned red when he was called Natsume Takashi's face turned red.

Natsume has a gentle personality and is a bit introverted, but in fact, he is also tough and resolute enough to some extent.

So he met the target that Qiao Xi was looking at, he took a deep breath, and then reached out and grabbed Qiao Xi's clothes:

"Brother Qiao, you can go out shopping with me tomorrow...... Is it? ”

- This tone is not so much coquettish as a request......

Takashi Natsume's mind went blank.

Qiao Xi put his hand on the top of the little guy's head and said lightly, "Okay." ”

——Same as ...... Agreed!

The child's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became smiling, and his voice said loudly, "Thank you!" So I jumped up and down to prepare for tomorrow's lesson.

Qiao Xi looked at the background of the children's rare liveliness, and looked at Yakuken Fujishiro.

Yakuken Fujishiro smiled slightly and explained, "Natsume-sama came to me today and said that I wanted to bring a friend to my house. ”

"Well, I know that."

Yakuken Fujishiro said that this was indeed the case, pushed his glasses on his face, and continued: "I said that if you are coquettish, you can ask the general to go out shopping together." ”
