Chapter 8: Paw Prints and Time Shu
In the middle of summer, in the unpolluted forest, the elves of the night belong - fireflies.
Natsume didn't know if it was because of his interest and wanted to see the fireflies, but didn't this stupid Natsume know that fireflies only glow at night?
Madara didn't plan to warn him, so he leaned on his shoulder and let Natsume go to the river in broad daylight to watch the fireflies.
Some mistakes are only made by oneself to feel stupid.
Madara was amused on Natsume's shoulder and watched Natsume being mentioned by the man who was fishing, looking stunned, completely confused about the situation.
"Oh?" Is that...
Madara also noticed that Natsume was also following a youkai by the man's side, maybe you are the same kind! Natsume.
Madara didn't expect the youkai to dare to chase after Natsume when he noticed that Natsume seemed to be able to see it.
Natsume, this kid is still so timid, and when he meets a monster that looks a little more powerful, he knows how to escape, don't you know that he is a very high-level kind of monster?
Damn it!
Madara was taken by Natsume on the road and grabbed Natsume's clothes, and in this case, Madara felt that he must be extremely ugly.
"Uh... Ah~"
Madara wants to vomit blood a little, is this Natsume stupid? Forget about running away, I actually ran to the cliff with Ben-sama...
In the end, he was saved by that monster.,Madara just wants to cover his face.,By the way, pretend not to know Natsume.,Can't calm down in case of trouble?
"Meow~"
Madara happily drank the wine in front of him, not caring at all about the conversation between the youkai and Natsume.
Madara said that it was good to bring a youkai back, and he was able to have a nice drink, which Natsume usually didn't let him, especially after giving him a frog that time.
"We're not friends." They were chatting so loudly that Madara heard it anyway.
"We are the relationship between the owner and the pet!" Natsume and Madara spoke in unison.
Scold! This stupid Natsume,Sure enough, I don't know the situation all the time.,It's Lord Ben who protects you every day.。
But seeing that today's sake is so enjoyable, Madara definitely doesn't care about this Natsume.
"Whew~"
Madara heard Natsume's guy shout to get up, but Madara could sleep a little longer, and you monsters and the like didn't have to wear clothes anyway.
"Meow~" Madara who changed his position and continued to lie on the bed couldn't help moaning, it was so comfortable.
The nightclub is in the middle of the day, and the youkai have to get up.
Madara told Natsume everything he knew about the fireflies in this forest, and the mountain god turned them into youkai in order to repay the fireflies.
However, it's just a legend.
"Huh... Ahh
Madara had just finished telling the legend, and before he could come to his senses, Natsume threw Madara directly on the ground and ran towards the man who was fishing.
Natsume!
"That youkai won't attack people." What an impulsive guy, Madara couldn't help but explain to him even though he wanted to blame Natsume.
What an ignorant boy, the trout in the lake turned into monsters that only like to eat fireflies.
"He can't see the monster anymore, and mentioning those past events will only add to his troubles."
Madara Natsume still wants to help the firefly yesterday, for a human, they don't like youkai more.
Once given a chance to get rid of it, would anyone still want to see a youkai related to it again? Natsume, you're still too young, and not all youkai's wishes can be fulfilled.
Sitting by the river, listening to Natsume tell a story to the youkai he called Kiyo, the story of a youkai and a boy who can see youkai.
Madara doesn't interject in this situation as usual, and with this kind of nosy time, it's better to use it to sleep.
When he heard something, Madara couldn't help but glance at Natsume playfully.
Suppose, one day, you can't see the youkai, and Ben-sama eats you.
Madara looked at Natsume and struggled for a long time, and finally went to find the man who used to be able to see youkai, and Natsume also wanted to know how that man felt.
"Although I can't forget her anyway..."
Madara leaned on Natsume's lap and listened to the man tell the story of him and Kiyoshi, just wanting to laugh playfully, no matter what? Human beings are creatures with rapidly changing feelings, will they stick to one person? What's more, this person is a youkai.
Three days later, the man would marry another woman, and Madara wondered why Natsume continued to ask about being willing to do so, otherwise what?
As a youkai, face a human who can't see himself.
At night, the youkai called Kiyoshi began to glow, and Madara didn't expect that she would choose to turn into the main body of a firefly.
"I heard that in that case, you won't be able to change back to your current form, and you will die after a short life as a bug."
Is it worth it? For the sake of a youkai who will never see you again, Madara can't understand this behavior of voluntarily abandoning the body of a youkai, and if you turn into a firefly, that human won't be able to recognize it.
Meaningless sacrifice, and Natsume stayed for a long time, and sure enough, the monsters became stupid.
Despite saying this in his heart, Madara reminded Natsume that the youkai in the swamp love to eat fireflies the most, and that the stupid youkai will not be able to fly to the man once it is caught.
"Hah..."
Natsume quickly chased after him, and Madara followed Natsume and lay on his back.
It's really stupid, Madara suspects that he owes Natsume something in his previous life, and he needs to carry him every day in this life, and Natsume's stupid guy can still fall down when he runs and chases people.
"It's really urgent."
That being said, Madara directly reverts back to his body.
"Come on."
Madara flew in the air with Natsume, much faster than Natsume's two legs.
As soon as I came to the swamp, I saw a firefly, just right.
Without hesitation, Madara swooped down with Natsume and knocked over the firefly-eating youkai.
Oh, I think I recognized the wrong person.
The monster called Kiyoshi has probably already gone to meet the person it wants to see, and at this point, it is estimated that it has already seen it.
"Teacher, how is the mountain god and his lover?"
"Who knows? Human life is very short. ”
Natsume is always thinking about unrealistic things, but will the real world be as beautiful as it is in the story?
"Natsume, crab crab, you guys, he recognized me."
That youkai flew back again, but Qing, you don't know that without demon power, Natsume can't understand your words anymore.
Madara heard Kiyoshi say to Natsume, but he wasn't going to explain it to Natsume, there were some things he thought Natsume should be able to understand, and he didn't need to explain it so clearly.
"Natsume, I want to make it clear to you first, even if you can't see the youkai anymore, I won't let you go until I get your friend's account."
Natsume, even if you can't see it, Madara me won't let you go, absolutely!
We've made an appointment, be your bodyguard, Natsume.
Even a little bit will never go away from what you have encountered... Recall.
