(The most recent update is that the two chapters are combined, and although it is a single update, the word count remains the same.) ）

"That...... Can I get this cat? ”

Fujiwara's family, Natsume hugged Meow-sensei and asked with a scared expression.

Aunt Tako looked at Natsume, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"A kitten with a big head? It's cute. Okay, let's go and ask for nourishment together. ”

Natsume was stunned, probably because she didn't expect Aunt Tazi to talk so well.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

"Guizhi, we are a family now, so we don't need to be so restrained." Aunt Tazi said softly.

"Hmm."

Natsume replied softly, his eyebrows slightly lowered.

He is still not used to such relatives.

However, Aunt Tazi is really gentle.

Natsume suddenly had a feeling that maybe he would stay in this house for a long time.

No more being pushed around.

Outside the door, Kakashi watched this scene quietly and chuckled, "Natsume, this guy, it's still the same as before." But in this home, it may be different. ”

Kakashi turned to leave, a little relieved in his heart.

……

The next day, school.

The class bell rings.

"Hello everyone, today a new teacher has come to our school, and he will be responsible for everyone's Chinese class in the future. Please welcome these new Qimu teachers. ”

Natsume was stunned when he heard this, Mr. Hagi? Is it a coincidence?

Satoru Nishimura was curious: "Is it a beautiful teacher?" I heard that people who can speak Chinese are all beautiful women. ”

"Nishimura, you know beauty. You thought the same thing last time Natsume came. Kitamoto complained mercilessly.

"Hehe, the teacher is a beautiful woman, and she is very motivated in class."

"Okay, you two don't argue, the new teacher is in." The squad leader, Sasada, said in a low voice.

The two immediately shut up and looked at the door.

At this time, a tall and handsome man walked in from the door.

He has silver-white hair and is dressed in black.

With a slight smile on his face.

The most striking thing is that he has a scar running through his left eye.

But strangely, instead of being ugly, this scar adds a touch of charm.

"So handsome!"

Kakashi...... Eldest brother? Natsume exclaimed.

"Natsume, do you know the new teacher?"

Nishimura on the side was a little disappointed to see that it was not a beautiful teacher, but Natsume's surprised look seemed to be knowing this new teacher.

Nishimura was a little curious.

Natsume nodded, and before Nishimura could ask again, Kakashi had already spoken.

"I'm a new Chinese teacher, named Kakashi Kakashi, I like to eat salt-grilled saury, everyone can call me Kakashi-sensei or Kakashi-sensei. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. ”

Kakashi said, smiling.

In an instant, the girls in the class all showed smiles.

A girl raised her hand directly and asked, "Teacher Qimu, how old are you?" He looks so young. ”

"Well, it's not big or small anyway." Kakashi said with a smile.

Kakashi only looks to be about twenty years old now, so it's no wonder that these junior high school students are curious.

With the power of the Six Realms, coupled with Terumi Ming's requirements, Kakashi is now considered ageless.

"Hey, is the teacher still so mysterious?"

"Haha."

Kakashi snorted and didn't continue.

Natsume also felt a little strange at this time, it had been seven years since the last time he saw Kakashi, but it didn't seem to have changed at all now.

Seven years have not left a single mark on this man's face.

Sure enough, he's not an ordinary person.

Yesterday when dealing with that youkai, Kakashi also showed amazing strength.

The cat teacher is also very powerful, but when facing Kakashi, it seems that he is still a little afraid.

"Now that you're okay, let's start the lesson. The first thing I want to talk about today is Chinese culture. ”

Kakashi's class is on.

Somewhere in school.

"Kakashi-san, why did you come to the school to be a teacher?" Natsume asked curiously.

"It's okay to be left and right, and that's a good choice. How? You don't want to? ”

"I didn't ...... No. I am happy. ”

"That's fine. Okay, let's take a good class, but I'm going to call Kakashi-sensei in the future. Kakashi laughed.

"Yes, Kakashi...... Teacher. ”

It's great to be able to see Kakashi-san at school in the future.

No, it's Kakashi-sensei.

In the office, Kakashi sat in his place, looking a little comfortable.

Coming here to be a teacher, Kakashi was also on a whim.

Kakashi was already sure that the origin of this world was in Natsume's friend's account, but how to extract a part of it without harming the foundation of this world still needed him to study.

There are at least three years left, and Kakashi is not in a hurry.

I simply came here to be a teacher, I was not tired from work, I had a salary, and more importantly, I was close to Natsume's daily life, so many things would be much more convenient.

As for whether Kakashi can be a good teacher, how to say it, other Kakashi does not boast, but it is still proper to teach Chinese.

"The rest of the days should be a lot more interesting." Kakashi chuckled.

……

Seven Forests.

"This forest is quite interesting, full of quietness."

Kakashi lay down on a tree and closed his eyes, the comfortable sunlight that made him fall asleep for a while.

"Young man, don't fall asleep here. It's dangerous. ”

An abrupt voice rang out, waking Kakashi up.

When I opened my eyes slightly, the person who caught my eyes was an old grandmother.

Kakashi was stunned and jumped off the branch.

The old grandmother smiled and said, "Young man, is it hard? Actually fell asleep on a tree branch. ”

"Ah, it's just a little comfortable to lie down." Kakashi laughed.

"I see. But you can't just lie down here. ”

"Huh? Why? Kakashi said curiously.

"You see, there's a shrine here, and it's dedicated to Lord Lujin. I've seen Lord Rujin sitting on this tree. The old woman pointed to a small shrine beside her.

Kakashi was a little surprised and turned his head to look over.

Sure enough, there was a ten-centimeter-tall youkai.

Wearing the mask of an old man.

He was looking at Kakashi with a look of amazement.

"Really? It seems that you are very lucky, old woman. Kakashi laughed.

"I think so too. Unfortunately, I'm the only one to worship Lord Lujin now. Lord Lujin must be very lonely. The old lady said with some frustration.

"No, at least there's an old woman, isn't there?"

"Hehe, young people are really good at talking. This one is up to you. ”

The old grandmother took out a peach and handed it to Kakashi.

"It's a fresh peach, I can't eat it alone, so I'll give this to you."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and reached out to take it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. So, I'll go first. ”

"Hmm."

Watching the old grandmother fade away, Kakashi looked at Lushen on the side.

"Youkai who live in shrines? There is still a little power of faith in the body, and it seems that the old woman just said that it is you. ”

"It's me. Can you see youkai too? It's the same as Natsume-sama. ”

"Do you know Natsume?" Kakashi was a little surprised.

"yes, Lord Natsume just gave me my name back yesterday." Lu Shen smiled.

"I see, no wonder. Looking at your situation, it seems that something is not good. The power of faith is diminishing and will soon be gone. ”

"Yes, Hanako was the last one to believe in me. Her body was gradually drying up. When she dies, I'll probably disappear too. ”

Lu Shen said, with some reluctance in his tone.

It's just that I don't know if I'm reluctant to let go of the old woman named Hanako, or if I'm not willing to give up my life.

"While you still have the strength, let's live in a different place. In this way, you may be able to extend your life. ”

Little Lushen shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, it's good here." ”

"Huh?" Kakashi was a little puzzled.

Lushen hugged the peach that was about the same size as him, and said with a smile: "Because once you get love, or give love, you can never forget it." Even if it's just a peach. ”

Kakashi was stunned, this guy ......

Can't you let go of those who believe in you?

Even if there is only one left.

"Looks like you have a story to tell that old woman." Kakashi laughed.

"It's not a story, maybe it's just a bad fate."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course, if you're willing to listen to this dull and boring story from an old man like me." Lu Shen smiled.

"I think it's going to be an interesting story."

"Huh. Perhaps. ”

……

I'm Lushen.

Originally, it was just a little youkai.

Because I lived in this shrine by mistake, I had a connection with the gods.

That was a long time ago.

There was a great drought that year, and a man came to this shrine to pray for blessings.

As it happened, it rained the next day.

The man was overjoyed and told everyone the news.

As a result, this originally somewhat deserted shrine suddenly had a lot of believers.

And I also have more faith in my body, and I am more and more similar to the gods.

Unfortunately, I don't have the power of a god.

But my body was made tall by the power of these beliefs.

However, the good times were short-lived.

Perhaps it is because worshipping me has no effect, so there are fewer and fewer people who believe in me.

Until the end, Hanako was the only one left.

I remember the first time I saw Hanako.

It was a mild afternoon.

The sun was good.

I sat on the big tree behind the shrine and watched the girl pay her respects.

She is religious.

The double ponytail looks very cute.

It's a wonderful feeling.

"It's been a nice day."

After I couldn't help but say this, I was a little surprised that Hanako actually looked up at me.

Just for a moment, the gaze looked away again.

I don't know if she really saw me, or if it was my delusion.

It's just that since then, Hanako has been coming back often.

There seems to be an inexplicable affection between me and her.

It's not love, but it's love.

An elusive love.

I just watched her go from a young girl, to someone else's wife, to a mother, to a grandmother.

It's just that human life is really too short.

Now, Hanako's life seems to have come to an end.

And so am I.

Anyway, it's a bit of a pity.

I've seen all your life, and in the end, I can't touch you.

Beggar......

At least in the end, I'll be able to accompany you on your way.

Is...... That's great......

……

Looking at the nostalgic look on his face, Kakashi felt a little emotional.

The old woman I saw before was already full of dead air between her eyebrows.

I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today.

This dewy god is only afraid......

The setting sun stained the sky red, and it seemed to have a touch of sadness.

At this time, a young man was walking slowly in the distance.

"Lushen, I'll bring you peaches."

Natsume walked closer.,Only to see that there was another person next to the shrine.。。

"Huh? Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here? ”

Natsume looked at Kakashi in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by his appearance.

"It's just a passing by. Kitten, we meet again. ”

Kakashi said, touching the cat teacher on Natsume's shoulder.

"Hmph."

The cat teacher snorted coquettishly, dodging Kakashi's pet.

At this time, a burst of white light emanated from Lushen's body.

Both of them and the cat were shocked.

"It's ......"

Lu Shen looked at his body, a smile shining under his mask.

"Looks like Hanako has passed away."

"Lord Lujin! What's going on here? Natsume exclaimed.

"Hanako has passed away, she is the last person who believed in me, and when she dies, I will disappear too."

"How...... How so! Lord Rokami! You don't want to disappear! I'm here to believe in you! I will come to worship you every day! ”

"No, Natsume-sama, you're my friend. That's enough, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I was finally able to touch Hanako. ”

Lu Shen said lightly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Is that just enough? Revealed. Kakashi said suddenly.

"Huh?"

Roujin looked at Kakashi with some confusion.

"If you want to touch her, now is the time!"

Kakashi said, the fox mask on his left wrist rapidly growing larger and covering his face.

For a moment, Kakashi's body was filled with the aura of a youkai.

"What a powerful demon!" Teacher Cat exclaimed.

"Lushen, come with me, go see Hanako for the last time."

Kakashi stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Rujin.

"Really...... May I? ”

"Of course."

Ryujin looked at Kakashi, a look of longing under the mask.

Immediately, Lushen jumped and fell into Kakashi's palm.

"So, get ready to fly!"

After Kakashi finished speaking, he took a lifelong leap and flew into the blue sky.

"The smell of the old lady just now...... Over there! ”

Kakashi spotted his direction and sped away.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Natsume shouted, but Kakashi didn't look back.

"What did Kakashi-sensei do?" Natsume wondered.

"Just go over and see."

Teacher Cat said, with a bang, turning into the body.

"Come on, Natsume."

"Hmm!"

In a house.

Hanako lay quietly on the bed, her breath gone.

Next to her, her juniors were crying.

An invisible white light emerged from Hanako's body, condensing into a phantom.

"Is this what people look like when they die?" Hanako muttered.

A gust of wind blew, and Hanako couldn't help but cover her eyes.

"It's ......"

I saw a person wearing a fox mask appear in front of Hanako.

There seems to be something else in hand.

"Lord Lujin?"

Hanako said in surprise as she looked at the rujin in Kakashi's palm.

"Hanako, we finally met."

Lu Shen, who emitted a white light, smiled.

"It's great to finally see you again. I thought I made you disappear because I saw you. Hanako laughed.

"Ah, Hanako, this time, let's go together."

"Hmmm......"
