The mountain god, who had just rested, was awakened by the little fox here.

However, although the mountain god is called a mountain god, it is actually not much different from ordinary youkai.

He has no ability to bring the dead back to life, so the little fox is destined to be disappointed.

"Can't even Grandpa the Mountain God save my mother?" The little fox said gloomily.

"I'm sorry, little fox, even if it's a monster, it doesn't have the ability to bring the dead back to life." The mountain god said apologetically.

"I see, Grandpa Mountain God......"

The little fox's eyes filled with tears again, but soon he wiped them away himself.

Because my mother said that boys are not allowed to cry.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, many things cannot be solved by strength alone.

Even Kakashi today can't just resurrect a dead person.

Because many times, the equivalent exchange of life is life.

"Grandpa Mountain God, then I'll go back first, I want to accompany my mother on the last journey."

"Go, kid, it's hard for you."

The little fox turned around to leave, just in time to see Kakashi at the door.

"Is that you?" The little fox was surprised.

Kakashi smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet so soon." ”

"Thank you for the roast chicken, although my mother didn't eat it in ......the end," said the little fox, bowing his head.

That look of loss made Kakashi feel something.

"See you next time, I'll go back first."

The little fox said and ran away.

"Wait, little fox, I'll go with you." Ah Yin shouted.

The little fox paused for a moment and said, "No need, Ah Yin, I want to stay with my mother alone." ”

After saying that, the little fox ran away.

Ah Yin wanted to follow, but the mountain god said, "Ah Yin, let him go alone." This is what he has to go through. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Mountain God."

The night was as cold as water, and Kakashi placed his new bed in the shrine.

It's a dilapidated shrine, and no one has come to it.

So don't worry about people seeing it and finding it weird.

The discomfort of being in a strange world made Kakashi not fall asleep, but thinking about what to do next.

Kakashi doesn't know much about this world.

So, it will take a little time to figure out what the origin of this world is and steal a harmless part of it.

Kiritani family.

Natsume was lying on the bed, his eyes wide open, and he didn't look like he was going to sleep.

"Great, I finally found someone to talk to. It's great that he doesn't think I'm a liar. I wish I could come early tomorrow so I can see him sooner. I have a lot more to tell him. ”

As if thinking of something, Natsume got up from the bed and turned on the small lamp beside him.

In the dim light, Natsume flipped out the box next to him and took out a book from the bottom of it.

Natsume gently flipped the book open, and there was a photo in it.

Looking at that photo, Natsume showed a look of joy.

In the photo, there are two young men and women, judging by the degree of intimacy, they should be a couple.

"Mom and Dad, I've finally found someone who can understand me. His name is Kakashi Hagi, and he's so warm, just like a dad. Tomorrow, I will be able to see him again. It's just wonderful. ”

Tears slipped silently, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know if it's because of sadness or joy.

Placing the photo in his arms, Natsume closed his eyes and seemed to feel the warmth in the photo.

If it was usual, Natsume wouldn't dare to take out the photo at all.

Because looking at that photo, Natsume can't help but think of the time he used to be with his father.

The more I miss it, the more sad it becomes.

But now, having met someone to talk to, Natsume wants to tell her parents the news.

People always have to find someone to talk to.

It doesn't matter if the subject is able to respond or not.

Just say it, and that's enough.

That night, Natsume slept soundly.

He had never looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow so much.

Forest of the mountain gods.

The early morning sun shines over this lush mountain forest.

Ah Yin sat on the stone in front of the shrine and quietly watched the sunrise.

He seemed to be enjoying the tranquility.

"It's a new day." Ah Yin muttered.

Behind him, Kakashi stepped out of the shrine.

"Ah Yin, you got up early."

"Mr. Kakashi, you're not too late. Do you have any plans for today? Ah Yin asked.

"Not yet. But I'm quite interested in this mountain, I wonder if Ah Yin can you take me around? Kakashi laughed.

"Of course, Mr. Kakashi. I grew up in the mountains, and I'm familiar with everything here. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Kakashi."

Silver leads the way, explaining the situation in the mountains with Kakashi one by one.

Suddenly, a big tree stretched out its palm-like branches and gently grabbed Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, who is this guy? He has the breath of a human on his body. ”

Kakashi was a little surprised, this tree has a living?

Is it also a kind of youkai?

"He's my friend, different from ordinary humans, don't worry, it'll be fine." Ah Yin explained.

"Really? Guy over there, I warn you, don't touch Ah Yin, otherwise, I'll eat it! ”

Kakashi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know. ”

"Hmph."

The tree snorted coldly and regained its composure again.

"I'm sorry, but they're worried about me, that's why they say that. You don't mind. ”

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Looks like you have a good relationship with them." ”

"Well, I wouldn't be alive without them."

"It's really a special fate."

"Yes, sometimes I'm glad I lost the opportunity to communicate with humans, but maybe it's a good thing to have more youkai friends." Ah Yin said with a smile.

"Well, there may not be much difference between humans and demons."

"yes, it's just ......"

Ah Yin wanted to speak and stopped, and his expression under the mask seemed to be a little gloomy.

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

It's just that I want to have a good conversation with humans.

Seeing that Ah Yin seemed to have something on his mind, Kakashi didn't have much to say.

After all, the two have just known each other, and they haven't reached the point where they can talk about their hearts.

"Woo woo ......"

Halfway through the journey, a loud cry reached their ears.

"It's ...... The cry of a human child? Ah Yin was a little surprised.

"Is that the direction, do you want to go over and have a look?" Kakashi said.

After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin said, "Let's go over and see the situation first, maybe I'm lost." ”

Walking through a bush, sure enough, there was a little girl about six years old who was crying.

It seems that I am indeed lost.
