I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"No, I have already looked for it in the street of Yizicho. I have 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 can't help it after being 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's heart completely chilled. It is estimated that this was the most regrettable experience in his life.

"If you can't find it anymore, if the tree demon girl is too far away from her body and doesn't return to her body quickly, she will really disappear forever. 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 made this place look a little old and deep, and a mist of mist passed by, blowing on the girl who was 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 going 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 exude a faint luster, thinking.

Three and a half hours, plus the journey from the station back to Natsume’s home, it 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, every second, is especially cherished. But sure enough, humans and monsters can't stay together. That one person sitting on a tree to pass the time, ushering in 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. It’s better for her child to grow up to be a gentle man. Even if it’s just a moment, she won’t 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 will stay with you for a lifetime. Sure enough, it's just empty talk. If I'm not a monster, probably, I can do it... a pity..."

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 start 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. distance……

Can't go back...

No matter how hard I tried to catch up, I couldn't get back 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 let out a surprised voice softly.

"Are you awake?"

Li Yan asked casually.

Under the silvery white moonlight, surrounded by thorny weeds, and the sunny mountain was full of potholes and mud roads. His whole body was muddy, and he was gradually left behind by the wounds of the thorns and landslides 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, she untied her monster blindfold, and 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 on the ancient road in that mountain forest..."

Li Yan's dirty face, his tired eyes, after more than an hour of running around, and finally using the power of the editing system, he found the sleeping tree fairy 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's words, 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, almost done something bad with kind intentions. 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 guesswork. Whether it is a tram or a shuttle bus, 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 moment.

Li Yan turned his head, his face was stained with mud and blood stains, but in any case, under the night sky, his eyes were like chills, 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 be so eager, 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 while swaying.

The character that was always stubborn, after all, in the eyes of the one who did not believe that time could stagnate, she gradually shed tears in despair.

"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 see in his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help getting wet.

"Let's take a gamble. 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 find the girl who chose to disappear quietly. When they were helpless, suddenly, from the end of the dark street, a figure cautiously Came out with a kitten in his arms.

"Senior Li!"

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