A new week

"Sea City Jump" has been updated to the latest issue, and Sayuri Riko is excited to open this issue of the manga.

"Childhood?"

Looking at the name of this issue, Sayuri was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that the content of this issue is about the story of Natsume's childhood?

This was when she became interested.

After all, it can be seen from the previous story that Natsume was lonely when he was a child, and he was regarded by many people as a strange child, and this phenomenon was not changed until he came to live with his uncle and aunt.

So what was Natsume like when she was a child?

With such curiosity, Sayuri Riko turned the next page.

It's just that Natsume when he was a child doesn't appear in the manga, but Natsume when he grows up.

After the midterm exams, Natsume Natsume hangs out with Nishimura, Kitamoto, and Sasada.

In the cartoon, he holds his cheek with one hand and sees the scenery along the train he is riding, and at this time, he suddenly recalls that he used to live in that area when he was tossing and turning among relatives.

Natsume had always felt that his childhood was nothing to miss, but looking at that view, he remembered when he used to live there......

"Like...... I don't know if she's still there......"

Natsume had a smile on her face.

She ...... Who is it? ”

Seeing Natsume's smile in the comics, Sayuri Riko was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gossipy look, could it be that he was the person he liked when he was a child?

Immediately after that, the storyboard of the manga shifted to the other side.

Appearing in the manga is a strange man sitting cross-legged on a tree with a paper with one eye on his face.

No...... Or maybe it's a youkai?!

For when children passed by the tree, the monster frightened them, but the children did not seem to see the strange man.

The only thing that can be invisible is the youkai!

Seeing that he couldn't scare this group of children, the monster slowly sat back on the trunk of the tree, with his hands on his chest, but he showed a nostalgic expression: "There seems to be such a person, who can see my ......"

Seeing this, Sayuri Riko knew that this monster was probably Natsume, right?

Immediately after that, the comics seemed to enter the picture of memories.,In the comics, Natsume's appearance when he was a child.,Being ridiculed and disgusted by other children.,Sayuri Riko can't help but want to beat up these children who mock Natsume!

After all, Natsume is such a gentle person!

It's not just Sayuri Riko who can't stand it, but even the youkai in the tree can't stand it, and she hammers it on the tree with a punch, causing the caterpillars on the tree to fall to the ground, causing the children who bullied Natsume to flee in panic.

And this scene also made Natsume involuntarily look at the tree, and then ran away in panic.

It's just that this time the eye met to make this monster remember Natsume, looking at Natsume's fleeing back, she muttered to herself: "I felt like I was looking at him just now......"

It was this time that the youkai in the tree remembered Natsume.

And the sudden appearance of Natsume when Natsume passed by the next day startled Natsume, making her sure that Natsume was the one who could see her.

Since then, the youkai in this tree has often chased him, and scared him, cared about him, and pursued Natsume unilaterally and paranoidly.

This also began to make Natsume start to run away from her, walking around the tree on the way to and from school.

One evening, just as the youkai was looking for Natsume to play tricks on him again, she heard what the other children had to say about Natsume.

In addition, the teasing afterwards made Natsume cry, and it also made this youkai begin to reflect on her mistakes, and she always felt very remorseful in her heart after realizing that she had hurt Natsume.

So he turned into a cat and went around looking for Natsume, and finally stood on the grass in the evening to Natsume, who was sitting on the grass and watching the sunset, and slowly approached Natsume, and was held in Natsume's arms: "It turns out that the temperature on the human body is so comfortable......"

Soon, she was held in Natsume's arms, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she listened to what Natsume said.

"I don't know much about human beings, but it's very sad to be alone, that's the only thing I know, that's the only thing I'm sure of......"

It's a pity that after this, Natsume went to other relatives' houses, and this youkai became the same as it used to be, and fell into loneliness that could not be seen.

"Will he come back?"

Looking at Natsume's disappearing back, the youkai in the tree began to wait.

It's just a pity that spring goes to autumn, time passes little by little, this is an indescribable sad and lonely time period, she didn't wait for Natsume to arrive, but as a monster, she looks at all kinds of human beings, some people break branches casually, and some people want to abandon the old man...... It can be said that all kinds of ugliness in human society are seen in her eyes.

Humans are the ugliest creatures, even human cubs.

When she transforms into a kitten and tries to comfort the fallen human cub, he is stoned away by the human cub.

At this moment, she once again remembered the child who had been tricked by herself in the past: "How is that child now?" ”

"A gentle smile...... Sad Wishes ......"

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly interrupted her memory: "It's so good! You're still here! ”

The sudden sound made the youkai in the tree look at the source of the sound, and then saw a human and a cat crouching on the shoulders of a human.

The monster's face was filled with surprise.

Because she didn't expect that she didn't know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters had passed, Natsume had never forgotten and always remembered her!

"I've always cared because the way of saying goodbye was weird...... It's great that you're healthy! ”

"You were only scary at the time, but now I can understand your gentleness."

Natsume had a smile on her face, and such a smile also made the youkai on the tree smile, she knew that Natsume should have met a gentle person, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed like this when he was so sad in the past!

So she threw herself down from the tree and hugged Natsume tightly.

"The taste of nostalgia ......"

Natsume remembered the picture when he was a child at this moment, and his face showed a hint of clarity: "My name is Natsume Takashi, can you tell me your name?" ”

"Ahhh Why is it gone! ”。

Seeing the unfinished words written on this issue, Sayuri couldn't help but breathe.

She also wants to know the name of this youkai!

After all, this youkai is the only youkai waiting for Natsume so far!
