Forest of the mountain gods.

"Ah Yin, try this."

Kakashi explained why, and Ayin swallowed the pill.

The mountain god on the side looked at Ah Yin nervously.

For Ah Yin, the mountain god has always been very concerned.

At the beginning, I was forced to use that demon method, and now it is almost at the end.

Looking at Ah Yin's situation, I am afraid that my body will collapse in another year.

And he had nothing to do.

At this point, Kakashi was his only hope.

The pill goes into the abdomen and there is a warm feeling.

Then a demonic power spread throughout the body.

Both Natsume and the cat teacher looked at this scene in amazement.

And the little fox has been standing between Kakashi and Natsume.

Kakashi's left eye turned, quietly observing the changes in Agin's body.

"It doesn't look like it worked as well as expected."

Kakashi sighed, still taking it for granted.

After all, the world is still different.

Ah Yin opened his eyes and clenched his fists, which seemed to be filled with a force, and he was no longer as weak as before.

"This feeling ......"

Ah Yin muttered to himself, he sensed something different, but something seemed wrong.

"Ah Yin, it seems that this pill does not have the results I expected, but at least your body has recovered a little, and at least there will be no weakness in ten years. Sorry to disappoint you. ”

Ah Yin smiled gently.

"Mr. Kakashi, you don't need to apologize. I've bothered you about my business, and it's good to be able to have such an effect. In that case, I can stay with Hotaru for a few more years. ”

"I'll keep figuring it out."

"Mr. Kakashi, don't force it."

"That's my promise."

Seeing Kakashi's solemn face, Ah Yin said helplessly, "Then trouble Mr. Kakashi." ”

"Ah Yin, Hotaru won't be here for a few months, right?"

"Hmm. There is still a little time until the summer vacation. ”

"How? Would you be interested in coming with me to the town for a few days? Kakashi laughed.

"To town?"

Ah Yin was stunned, since he was sensible, he had been in this forest and had hardly gone out.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

There are so many humans out there that he will disappear if he is touched at the slightest touch.

The risk was too great, so he didn't dare to go out at all.

The mountain god was even more shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Kakashi, this won't work. Ah Yin's departure from the Forest of the Mountain Gods was too dangerous. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Mountain God, when I say this, there is naturally a solution." Kakashi laughed.

"How? What's the solution? The mountain god was puzzled.

"It's this mask."

Kakashi said as he removed the fox mask from his left wrist.

"Masks?"

"Yes, this mask contains almost all of my demonic power. As long as Ah Yin wears it, he can temporarily and completely turn into a monster, so that he will not be touched by humans. Kakashi explained.

"Really?" The mountain god was skeptical.

"It's true, just try it."

Kakashi said, and with a slight push of his right hand, the fox mask flew out and landed on Agin's face.

A powerful demonic force was released from the mask, covering Ah Yin's entire body.

"This ......"

Before Ah Yin could react, he felt that his body was protected by a strange force.

"It doesn't seem to make any difference, huh?"

"Really? It's different. ”

I saw Kakashi walk up to Ayin and push him in front of Natsume.

"Ahh

With an exclamation, Ayin pounced on Natsume.

"Oops!"

The mountain god was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward, but Kakashi stopped him.

"Don't worry, it's okay, you see it's not good."

I saw that Ah Yin actually passed through Natsume's body!

"This ......"

Ah Yin looked at his hands in shock, feeling a burst of incredulity.

"As long as you wear this mask, you can stay that way. Not even a human who can see a yokai can touch you. But this mask is a derivative of me, and it only lasts for a week before it returns to me. What do you think? Want to go to my place for a week? ”

Ah Yin was overjoyed when he heard this.

"I'm going!"

Ah Yin has an inexplicable desire for the human world, and with such conditions, he naturally will not refuse.

So Kakashi came to the Forest of the Mountain Gods and kidnapped the little fox and Agin.

After the training camp was over, Kakashi and the others went back.

Qimu family.

The place Kakashi rented was not small, somewhat similar to the Fujiwara family's small two-story building.

There were a few more rooms in the room, and they were just used for Little Fox and Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, little fox, your rooms are on the second floor, Ah Yin, you are the one on the left, little fox, you are the one on the right."

The two of them officially moved into Kakashi's house.

……

"Today's weather is good, Ah Yin, little fox, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Yes, yes." The little fox responded enthusiastically.

Ah Yin has no opinion.

He came here to see the human world.

The two of them hit the road as soon as they were foxes.

"Is that what a human town is?"

Ah Yin is full of curiosity about everything he sees along the way.

Kakashi walked aside, watching quietly.

The little fox followed.

Passers-by all looked at Kakashi a little strangely, after all, the fox keeper hadn't really seen a few.

Although the little fox is in the form of a child in the eyes of people with demonic powers, people without demonic powers look at it and are just a little fox.

Riverside.

A man was staring at the river in a daze.

The three Kakashi happened to pass by and stopped.

"That's ......"

Ah Yin was a little surprised.

Kakashi, for his part, narrowed his eyes.

Beside the man, there was a monster.

Blonde hair with a mask on his face.

But the man didn't seem to notice it.

Just as Kakashi was about to ask, Natsume also walked over from the other side.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

Natsume looked surprised, he didn't expect to meet Kakashi here.

"Natsume, do you want to take your little chubby cat out for a walk?" Kakashi laughed.

The cat teacher glared at Kakashi, and then stopped talking.

It's useless to resist anyway, so give up resisting.

"Yes, the cat teacher has been eating a little too much lately."

Teacher Cat originally wanted to refute, but when he saw that there were other people next to him, he put up with it.

Kakashi smiled, saying that the cat teacher did seem to have gained a little weight recently.

The little fox jumped on Natsume's body with joy.

Natsume touched the little fox's head and smiled.

At this time, Natsume also saw the youkai beside the man, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Kakashi shook his head and motioned for Natsume not to say it.

At this time, the man also noticed Kakashi and Natsume.

"Are you here to see the fireflies too?" The man said.

"Fireflies?"

Where do fireflies come from in broad daylight?

Kakashi was puzzled, but Natsume said, "Yes, I heard that the recent season is almost here. ”

"But it's still a bit early, and besides, there have been fewer fireflies lately."

"Really?"

Kakashi glanced at the youkai and pulled Natsume away.

"Kakashi-sensei, is it really okay to let that youkai follow that man?"

"Don't worry, that youkai is here."

"What?"

Natsume was startled and looked back.

Sure enough, the youkai followed.

"Can you see me?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Natsume's cheek.

Natsume subconsciously wanted to run, but Kakashi stood in his way.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Kakashi said.

The female youkai looked at Kakashi and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a human who can speak. ”

"Have you ever seen that?"

The female monster nodded and said in a low voice: "Zhang Shi used to be able to see me, but now ......"

Despite wearing a mask, Kakashi seemed to see the sad expression beneath her mask.

It seems that this is still a female monster with a story.

"Is there such a thing?" Natsume was a little surprised.

Seeing this, Kakashi said, "Some people will continue to lose their demonic powers as they get older, and eventually become an ordinary person. ”

"Is that so?"

Natsume lowered her head, as if thinking about something.

Will I lose the ability to see youkai?

Then I should be happy, isn't that something I've always looked forward to?

But why, why is there a faint sense of loss in my heart?

The cat teacher on his shoulder narrowed his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"The Zhang Shi you are talking about, is that the man just now?" Kakashi asked.

The female monster nodded and said, "Yes." He is Zhang Shi. There was a time when we were together. But then one day, he couldn't see me. Recently I heard that he was getting married, so I wanted to come over and see what he was like. ”

Ah Yin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why, such a description made him feel similar.

yes, isn't that the relationship between him and Hotaru?

used to be together, but in the end, they still faced the end of separation.

Shemales have different paths......

The lifespan of a human being alone can't last as long as a youkai.

"Are you going to bless him?" Ah Yin said suddenly.

The female monster looked at Ah Yin and said, "Well, this may be the only thing I can do now." ”

"Really? Is this the only thing left in the end? Ah Yin muttered.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Looking at Gin, Kakashi understood that this guy had thought of his own situation nine times out of ten.

But it's true.

With Ah Yin's current state, it is impossible to be with Hotaru Takekawa.

You can't even touch it.

Maybe it's because of the relationship with this female youkai, and the female youkai follows Kakashi home.

Of course, Natsume also went to Kakashi's house with him.

Speaking of which, Natsume was going to Kakashi's house for the first time.

On the way, Natsume even gave the female monster a name, named Huanli.

"This is a crystal cake that I made myself, a Chinese pastry, you can try it."

"It's exquisite."

Natsume looked at the pastry in front of her with some surprise and picked it up.

And the cat teacher is even more polite, he has already eaten one.

As soon as you bite into it, the delicacy has overflowed your entire mouth.

"It's delicious."

Natsume was surprised, he didn't expect Kakashi to have such a skill.

Teacher Cat has changed Kakashi a lot.

"Boy, is this really what you did?"

"What? Isn't it like? Kakashi laughed.

"Hmph, I really didn't expect you to have such a skill, which is not inferior to Nanatsujiya. That's fine, if you make me a little bit every day in the future, then I don't care about your offense to me before. Teacher Cat said arrogantly.

Kakashi rubbed the cat sensei's head and smiled, "How dare you say it." ”

At this time, the little fox also ate the crystal cake in his hand with a satisfied face, and his happiness was beyond words.

But Ah Yin looked preoccupied.

Looking at the little fox and the cat teacher's intimate appearance with Kakashi, Huan Li was a little envious.

He and she used to be like this.

But now, it seems that the end of the world is close at hand, and I can no longer look at each other.

Not long after, Natsume came home with the cat teacher.

Before leaving, the cat teacher looted all the pastries.

Huanli stayed.

At night, Ah Yin came to Huanli's room.

Huanli hadn't slept yet, but leaned against the window alone, looking at the moon in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Excuse me."

Ah Yin said softly, and Huan Li also came back to his senses.

"Is there something wrong?"

is also a monster, so naturally there will not be much repulsion.

"I just don't understand some things yet, so I want to come and ask you."

"What's the matter?" Huan Li was a little puzzled.

"Why do you follow him when he can't see you anymore?"

Huan Li was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then showed a look of remembrance.

"Because of him and I, we used to have a lot of good memories. At that time, we were together all day and talked a lot. We have seen the stars in the sky and the fireflies flying in the sky. Even if these are invisible, that memory will never disappear. ”

"Memories ......"

Ah Yin lowered his head, his eyes were full of nostalgia and struggle.

Huan Li slowly approached Ah Yin, stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked Ah Yin's face.

Ah Yin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Huan Li smiled and said, "If you can ask such a question, you have a good impression of human beings like me." ”

Ah Yin was silent, but that look had betrayed him.

"Ah Yin, cherish it. After all, humans and monsters are different beings. Separation is a matter of time, and it may be that in our long lives, only memories are left with us in the end. ”

"Are you really happy to keep these memories?"

"No, it's sad."

Ah Yin was stunned, he didn't expect such an answer.

"That'...... So why ......"

Huan Li turned his head to look out the window and said with a slight smile: "The sweeter the memory, the more painful it is to think about it now." But no matter how great the pain is, there will be a hint of sweetness in it. For me, memories are both arsenic and honey. For this sweetness, even the greatest pain seems to be nothing more than that. ”

"Is it worth it?"

Ah Yin was asking Huan, but he seemed to be asking himself.

"It's not worth it, but ...... I do. ”
