Walking under the shaded path of the trees, Natsume decided to take the initiative and not let Yakuya and Yushin fall into the situation of the past.

For this reason, the elf to be found now is not Yakuya, but Yuxian.

Probably because of his luck, Natsume saw a bird flying overhead, heading in the direction of his family, and under its moving sight, Hachimai Yuxian appeared, looking for something.

She is now wearing a sailor uniform on campus, with her long golden-orange hair tied into three long braids, and she has a better figure than Yakuya Hachimai.

As she was walking towards the beach, she squinted her eyes listlessly, calm and docile as opposed to Yakuya's personality.

Running towards her, Natsume called out her name on the way.

"Eight Dances!"

"Hello, isn't this Natsume-san? Is there something wrong? ”

"If you want to say that there is, there are yes, are the eight dancers looking for someone now?"

"Statement, just call me Xixian, and now I'm looking for a Shidao classmate who has disappeared since morning."

Is the Five Rivers Shido also gone?

Maybe it was in Ratatoskr or maybe he did the same thing as himself, that is, he went to talk to Yakuya.

Because Natsume's idea is that only by confirming the intentions of the two Eight Dance Elves can he better decide what to do next.

If you unilaterally confirm and care, it will only bring unnecessary trouble.

Like Yuxian, Natsume glanced around and said his decision.

"Can it take up a little of your time?"

"Question, what does Natsume-san want to talk about? If it's just a little time, it doesn't matter, I'll go to Shido later. ”

"That's great. Let's go sit over there. ”

Around this hostel. Because there are several different forests. That's why there are plenty of seats where people can rest.

The seats are made of stone, which looks a little cold in the shade of the trees.

The wind in the forest seemed to blow from a cave, and it was slightly damp.

Unlike the sea breeze, the smell of the earth in this gust of wind is much fresher than that of the sea, and it is a completely different kind.

The sunlight was shining diagonally, and it was noon, and the temperature was higher than usual. I can't help but feel a little hot.

To be honest, Natsume considers himself a heat-resistant person, no, a person who is not afraid of summer.

Hates the heat, but not afraid of summer.

It may sound strange, but it's true.

Natsume believes that there is a reason for his actions, and that his life has a certain pattern, and he is not affected by others, and only moves forward according to his own ideas.

Travel to a different time, looking for a way to survive and go back. This is Natsume.

He likes life now, at the same time. I also remember the truth of the past.

Even if this is the real thing, Natsume thinks it's a virtual reality that is different from herself.

"I've always fantasized about myself as a hero."

"I don't understand, what Natsume-san means?"

"Hawkers,It's like an ordinary little kid.,I think I'll be a great person in the future.,Can become a pillar of society or something.,But that kind of idea can't even be called a wish.,It's a fantasy.。

Pulling back the windswept hair with his hands, Yusine wondered about Natsume's words.

She's an elf, and maybe it's a wish for her to keep Yakuya alive.

That's a wish, not a fantasy.

"Okay, a little off topic...... I'm so sorry. ”

"No, Yuxian didn't feel any trouble, but Natsume-san, I think what you just said is very powerful."

"Amazing?"

"Definitely, because it is straightforward and direct, it is different from the sunset that has been procrastinating, which is enviable."

"Really?"

No matter who it is, in the eyes of a particular person, there is a 'powerful' side.

If it was the real world in the past, would you have someone who affirmed you? This is also a true ironic idea.

Shaking his head and throwing away his distracting thoughts, Natsume spoke

"So, I want to ask you a question, what kind of existence does Yakuya have in your eyes?"

"Hesitating, Xixian felt that Yakuya was very important; Although we have become two people due to an accident that befell this world, we have different ideas and decisions with each other, and even start a fight, but in Yuzune's opinion, Yakuya is irreplaceable. ”

It's like family.

Natsume thinks that's how Yusan sees Yakuya, the two are the same person, but they are not the same person.

Different opinions, same ideas;

Different insights, same results.

Hachimai Yuxian and Hachimai Yakuya have not parted ways, they are waiting for each other, but the barrier that prevents the two from communicating, relying on themselves, cannot be broken no matter what.

They need a boost, they need someone who can give them the motivation to move forward.

Maybe Shidao can do it, maybe he can do it himself, or maybe others can do it, the truth is as simple as that.

Whether it is an elf or a human being, the whole life is spent in chasing and chasing, once it stops, there is only a situation of being abandoned by the times and the world.

The feelings of the two elves should be about the same.

"I see, the victor between you, will disappear?"

"Sure, I know Natsume-san's secrets, that's why I say that, I hope Yakuya can get a chance, she likes this world more than me."

So—

"Please, I hope Natsume-san hates Yakuya."

"That's really, expectedly."

Natsume got up from the stone bench that was already sitting on the hot and stretched.

"You're not very frank like Yakuya."

"Stammering, I ......"

"I already know what to do, so ...... Not?! ”

A gust of wind blew, and Natsume saw the numbers above his head shake violently.

Hair flew wildly, smoke and dust flew, only to hear a click, the dry branch accidentally broke, and the branch thicker than the arm smashed directly into the sunset.

"Danger!"

Rushed over quickly, and when he protected Yuxian under him, he was hit hard in the back, and the whole person pounced, but he was stabilized by Natsume on the way, and he only overwhelmed Yuxian a little.

"It's okay."

"Sure, I'm fine, Natsume-san, you...... Yakuya?! ”

Suddenly hearing an unexpected name, Natsume turned around and saw Yakuya standing on the forest road.

"You, what are you doing! Natsume: You! ”

"Listen to me, although it seems to outsiders that they are hugging each other, it is because of the ...... just now"

"I don't listen to your idiot, fool's excuse! Idiot! Idiot! ”

"Yakuya!"

Yakuya, who ran away, only replied to Natsume halfway through-

"Natsume or something! The most annoying! Big stupid! (To be continued......)
