Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 128 Open Air Bath
Before long, it was completely dark.

The moon and stars are sparse, and you can see the sky full of stars when you look up.

The yard was very quiet, not even the chirping of insects.

Natsume Zehei sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and didn't know where to start.

The square corner table is full of dishes, which has a feeling of banquet.

The waiter said that it was specially prepared to take care of Miyagawa Suzune's hard work, which made Natsume Zehei, who eats and drinks for free, feel a little embarrassed.

But there was no reason to leave the table even after coming, so he calmly made himself a bowl of rice and started to eat.

At first, Natsume was worried that there would be too much food to eat, and whether he should pack some to bring back to Sayuri, but seeing Miyagawa Suzune's big stomach attribute really made him stop talking.

Natsume Zehei originally didn't like to talk when eating, but it was only the two of them in the quiet here, and it always felt weird not to talk.

"Some time ago, some rumors spread in the creek near the school." Natsume Zeping put a chopstick of salmon into his meal.

"Little creek?"

"There is a short bridge next to a hill, and there is a big tree on the hill."

"It's there." Miyagawa Suzune nodded, "I know."

"I heard that the place is haunted."

"School toilets are also haunted."

"The nature of the two is not the same." Natsume Zeping said.

"What's the difference? Aren't they all rumors? It's still Natsume's letter." Miyagawa Suzune looked at him and laughed.

"School rumors are false, and there is evidence by the creek."

Natsume Zehei took out his mobile phone and pushed it up. The photos displayed on it were all from the files of the Department of Mysteries. "Look at this."

"It's quite interesting." Miyagawa Suzune shrugged, "The Department of Spiritual Mysteries does a lot of serious things."

"I remember that Miyagawa-san also advised me not to go there some time ago. Why?"

Miyagawa Suzune recalled, "I remember you discussed this topic with me before, and the reason I gave at that time was that Feng Shui was bad, and the reason is now the same."

"How to say?" Natsume Zeping raised his eyebrows with some curiosity on his face.

"This matter involves the secrets of the ancestors." Miyagawa Lingyin shook her head and did not continue, "It's not a mystery, but it's just a note left by them."

"I understand, if you look for the dragon and divide the gold, you can look at the tangled mountain, and the first entanglement is the first level." Natsume Zeping smiled, "Miyagawa's ancestors have done a lot of things."

"."

Miyagawa Suzune couldn't understand what Natsume Zehei was saying, but looking at his expression, he obviously misunderstood.

"The Miyagawa family has inherited the shrine for generations, and has never done anything else."

"oh oh."

Natsume Zehei was silent for a moment, then continued.

"I've been to the creek before. I remember that there is a shrine on the mountain there. Is it offering sacrifices to someone?"

"Yes, it's related to the Miyagawa family, but Suzune doesn't know the specifics, only that it's a rule handed down from his ancestors." Miyagawa Suzune nodded, "This rule is hundreds of years old, the Miyagawa family The shrine is replaced every ten years, but this time the shrine was burned by me in advance."

"Burn?" Natsume Zeping looked up at her, with some inquiry in his eyes: "Why?"

"This stems from a nightmare I had in May some time ago. She said she dreamed of a creek near the school." Miyagawa Suzune's face was not very good-looking, "I was wondering if there was something wrong with the shrine, so I hid it from my parents. It burned."

"Is the effect any better?"

"No." Miyagawa Suzune stuck out her tongue, "But it doesn't matter, because the next ten years is almost here, and the family will specially arrange for someone to build a new shrine."

"I see." Natsume Zehei nodded, "May's nightmare is related to the creek? Or is it the shrine?"

"unknown."

Natsume Zehei didn't ask any more questions, and prepared to leave after eating.

"You can try the open-air bath here." Before leaving the room, Miyagawa Suzune said with a smile, "The effect is very good."

"I will." Natsume nodded, closed the door and went out.

Late at night, the lights in the room were still on.

Natsume Zehei felt a little creepy when he heard the creaking sound.

He woke up from his sleep, and touched the side with his hand. What he touched was not the delicate texture of the tatami, but something indescribable.

He pushed Sayuri, "Sayuri"

"What's the matter, Natsume?" Sayuri woke up in a daze, and turned her head to see that the ground was full of protein.

"what happened?!"

Sayuri grabbed a cutie and asked suspiciously, "Why are there so many cuties?"

"Because it's on the mountain, the lights attract bugs." Natsume Zehei pursed his lips, "Go out and see, are there rats outside?"

"it is good"

Sayuri floated out and came back soon.

"Yes, there are other things besides mice, do Natsume want to know?"

"...No, I'm not interested in these."

Natsume Zehei regretted not listening to Miyagawa Suzune's suggestion.

He turned his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the shrine was eerily quiet.

Natsume Zeping stood up and picked up a change of clothes, ready to find a warm place to spend the night. He didn't want to stay in the same room with the cutie.

"Where is Natsume going?"

"Go to a quiet place where you can sleep." Natsume turned her head and looked at Sayuri floating in the air, "Go to sleep first."

"Oh."

Natsume Zehei pushed open the door, bypassed the many cuties, and walked towards the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the frightened deer tapped lightly, and the moonlight reflected the water in the pool to look extraordinarily clear. It was a very beautiful scene. If Natsume Zehei hadn’t been awakened in the middle of the night, he would definitely stay and watch for a while.

As he walked forward in his yukata, he remembered the bathhouse Miyagawa Suzune had mentioned.

"Hope there's a place to sleep there."

"Hopefully."

Moving forward along the wooden corridor, many rooms are still lit, and the voice of conversation comes from inside, faintly and vaguely.

Looks like they haven't slept yet.

Natsume Zeping withdrew his gaze, and looked at the door of the room suspiciously, but there was nothing there.

"Is that the only room that attracts bugs?" He sighed.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the sky not far away was steaming with bright light, and Natsume thought that there should be a bathing place.

Not long after, a large building appeared in front of me, a very standard bathing style, with a curtain outside, and two big lanterns shining hotly, illuminating the bamboo forest next to it.

The bathing area is divided into two sides, the inside and the outside, and the heating is turned on, and the hot smoke is blowing.As soon as Natsume Zehei took a few steps, he felt a little sweat on his forehead. This place is quite good.
There is a place for people to change clothes outside the room, which is divided into several single rooms. Natsume Zeping stepped forward and took a look at the bamboo basket next to it. There was nothing in it.

Also, it's late at night, how can anyone take a hot spring.

Natsume Zehei changed his clothes and hung up the bath towel, first washed it in the bathroom inside, then walked across the corridor to the open-air bath.

There is only one warm yellow light on the terrace, and the outside is surrounded by bamboo. The marble floor is rough, so don't worry about slipping.

The warm water flows continuously along the water pipes, and the crystal water splashes are rushing rapidly, constantly hitting the stone wall and scattering dazzling light.

Natsume Zehei sat down on the bank, first tested the temperature, and then slowly sat in the water.

"really not bad."

He closed his eyes, and accompanied by the sound of running water, he felt drowsy for a while.
