I am a master of light novels in Japan

"No, I've already looked for it in Yizicho Street. It has long green hair and white clothes, right?"

"Yes, this is bad. We are looking for so many monsters, but we still can't find it. Lord Madara has no choice but to be injured by the Demon Master. Please take care of us little monsters. As a result, our abilities are limited. I haven't found it after searching for so long."

Li Yan became more curious as he listened. He always felt that the monster with long green hair and white clothes... wasn't it the monster girl he brought.

But the next sentence made Li Yan completely chill, and it is estimated that this was the most regrettable experience in his life.

"If you can't find it anymore, the tree demon girl will disappear forever if she doesn't return to her body because she is too far away from her body. If this is the case, we don't know what to do. Explain to Natsume-sama."

Chapter 59

At night, just entering the middle of the night at ten o'clock, the silver-white moonlight fell in this dark forest, the river was shining with silver light from time to time, and the slight mountain breeze was blowing on this quiet place.

The trees beside the tree-lined road and a hidden place on the road up the mountain make this place look a little old and deep, and a mist of mist blows by, blowing on the girl who is about to disappear.

She is a monster. If she is too far away from her own body, not only will the body gradually wither, but she will also disappear...

Is this the sad part of youkai?

Even if you go to meet someone you want to meet, you have to pay such a price...

She quietly sat on a rough rest stone chair beside Jizo. In this relatively humid area, the only clean rest place, she raised her head and looked at the sky. Sure enough, the place here is the same as where she is. The sky is different.

"If I disappear, Natsume, will you still remember me?"

She sat there quietly, letting her body emit a faint luster, thinking.

Three and a half hours, plus the journey from the station back to Natsume’s house, adds up to four hours. In any case, the demon power that has been exhausted can’t support four hours, but she came here and got along with Natsume Every minute and every second are extremely cherished.But sure enough, humans and monsters can't stay together. That one person sitting on a tree to pass the time, ushering the four seasons, and sending away the cold and warm days, she is tired, so it is better to just come and see the one who met her. Nowadays, it’s better to grow up to be a gentle man. Even for a moment, she will not regret it. This is her choice.

But, I don’t know, after he knows the truth, will Li Yan blame himself for it?

"If I'm not a monster, it would be great... I think I'll stay with you for a lifetime. Sure enough, it's just empty talk. If I'm not a monster, I can probably do it... Unfortunately..."

Under her paper blindfold with eyes painted, tears gradually flowed, glowing in the moonlight.She is not strong, just an ordinary monster, but after witnessing his new adoptive parents with Natsume, there are friends, and other monsters around her. She has been reluctant to leave, even though Madara has always said that, although There is not enough time, but you can still fight for it... But she still chooses to stay with Natsume more.

Is everything... over?

The demon power dissipated more and more, and she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep there quietly.

Gradually, it seemed to be dreaming...

She dreamed that she saw the familiar place and returned to the familiar place, but she didn’t know why, when she was walking towards the dazzling cherry tree, she couldn’t follow her body anyway. the distance……

Can't go back...

No matter how hard I tried to catch up, I couldn't return to that tree.

That uneasy feeling of loneliness tortured her body and mind so much that she couldn't help but try to reach out and grab something...

Suddenly, a hand full of blood and mud stretched out from the darkness, and then grabbed her hand. At this moment, she couldn't help but open her eyes again.

"?!"

At this moment, she was taken aback for a moment and realized that she was not staying in the cold woods anymore.

A wide back lifted her up and began to walk down the mountain.

"……Eh?"

She made a softly surprised voice.

"Are you awake?"

Li Yan asked casually.

Under the silvery white moonlight, surrounded by thorny weeds, and the sunny mountain was full of pitted mud roads. His whole body was muddy, and he was gradually left behind by the wounds of the thorny landslide in the mountain That cold place.

According to Li Yan's idea, she does not belong to such a cold place.

"Li Yan..." The girl looked at him in surprise.

why?

Why can I find her?

The Dryad girl looked at him in surprise. At this time, a strong wind was blowing across the woods, and her monster blindfold was unbuttoned. The bright green pupil stared at the man blankly.

"You actually came here, you know how much time it took me to find you who is about to be transparent from the old road in that mountain forest..."

Li Yan's dirty face, his tired eyes, after more than an hour of rushing around, and finally using the power of the editing system, he found the sleeping Dryad girl within a range of tens of meters.

It is estimated that the monsters cannot find her because her state at the moment is really close to transparent.And he was thinking about the dryad, what he should want most is to return to the forest, so he found the forest. I really don't know if it is lucky.

Suddenly, Li Yan apologized and said to the dryad girl behind him: "...Sorry, I don't know if you are a dryad. Trees can't move too far, but I will take you. I came out, and I almost did something bad. At this point in time, I will take you back now."

"go back?"

The dryad girl was taken aback for a moment, and she thought, then she shook her head and explained: "Li Yan, this matter is not your responsibility. I also said that this is my own choice, my time. Stagnant... I am a monster, different from human time, and I cannot move far away. Therefore, my time has always been stagnant, even if it disappears and exists, it is the same, and this time , Even if I start to go back, I can't really go back..."

"There is currently no practice. It is just a false proposition to rely solely on speculation. Whether it is a tram or a shuttle, I am carefully considering all the methods that can be used... I originally planned to let the teacher cat fly directly. You go back, but Teacher Cat warned me solemnly that your weak demon power must be maintained by the earth's power on the ground, and the method of flying in the air is completely unworkable... However, I still have a way, even if I rush back. ."

Li Yan began to say analytically.

"Huh?" The tree demon girl was taken aback for a while.

Li Yan turned his head, his face was stained with mud and blood stains, but in any case, his eyes were like cold light under the night sky, shining like flames, and said: "Although it is dangerous, I Since I brought you here and promised to take you back, I must be able to do it. So, don’t give up easily. After all... If you really want to think so, why do you still cry when you sleep, time is stagnant, but There will be no tears."

"..."

The young girl stared at him blankly, and gradually the piece of paper blindfold was soaked in tears in the breeze, and finally torn apart in the swing.

The character that was always stubborn, after all, gradually shed tears in the eyes that did not believe that time could stop.

"Sorry, I don't want to disappear..."

"Obviously, I have just begun to feel the meaning of life... alone, it's not good at all..."

Li Yan couldn't help but look in his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help getting wet.

"Let's take a gamble and use all of my money to send you back in two hours." Li Yan frowned and said to her.

...

At eleven o'clock, Takashi Natsume and Mrs. Kitty asked many monsters to look for the girl who chose to disappear quietly. When they were helpless, suddenly, from the end of the dark street, a figure cautiously Came out holding a kitten.

"Senior Li!"

Takashi Natsume saw clearly, and found that Li Yan, who was all dirty, was the tree demon girl in his arms.
