I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"What kind of monster are you? You wandered near Xiamu during the day, and now you come to his house again, but you are sneaky. What purpose do you have?" Li Yan held the phone and flashed her light with the flashlight function. , asked sharply.

"...Cough, what are you, what are you talking about, who are you..."

The monster became a little unconvinced, took off his sleeve, and shouted to Li Yan.

As a result, one person and one demon, this is the real face-to-face.

In front of Li Yan was a girl wearing a purple robe, with beautiful long golden hair and an extremely beautiful face. However, unlike humans, her lower body was a fish, and she looked like a mermaid.

"Huh?!" Li Yan suddenly widened his eyes, looking at this legendary beautiful race that actually appeared in Xiamu's house.

But the other party's reaction was more intense than Li Yan's. As soon as she saw Li Yan, her face turned pale, she immediately took a few steps back, and hid behind a tree to look at him.

"Aren't you the one... Shiro, the monster who can knock out a high-level monster with one punch during the day?!" The mermaid girl was frightened with tears and asked in horror.

"...Er, what, that monster...has hemiplegia already?" Li Yan asked with a complicated expression on his face.He was afraid that he could not help punching in the past, causing some troublesome incidents.

"Leave these aside, it's too early to say the cause of its hemiplegia, who are you, what's your name, and are you also coming to attack the Natsume monster, don't think you're a female monster, I won't take it lightly, I can It's not as easy to talk as Natsume."

Li Yan coughed a few times, and when he was shirking his responsibilities, he changed the subject and asked the mermaid girl.

"It's just a mere human who asked me to report my family name. Besides, how can a man like me tell you the name of a beautiful and rare mermaid when he asks..."

The mermaid was not convinced, hiding behind a tree and protesting to Li Yan, but looking at Li Yan's silent and unresponsive expression, he became more and more frightened and spoke in a lower voice.

"Sasafune... this is my name, don't use my name indiscriminately!" The mermaid girl finally softened and said.

"Uh... I obviously haven't said anything yet." Li Yan didn't react, and the other party gave in, feeling a little stunned for a while.

However, through these conversations, Li Yan has generally ruled out the danger of this monster, because girls with arrogant attributes, whether they are humans or monsters, are rarely bad people... Although this theory has not gone through much. rigorously argued.

"My name is Li Yan, I can tell from the name, I came from abroad, I am the senior of that guy Natsume, so I still have a little qualification to ask you, Sasuke, answer me, are you here looking for Natsume? What is it for?" Li Yan asked with serious eyes, looking at her.

"...This, this... It's actually nothing..." The girl named Sasafune hesitated again and again, lowered her head, and whispered.

Suddenly, Xia Mu's voice came from inside the house: "Senior, are you in the courtyard?"

"?"

Li Yan and the mermaid girl Sashou were stunned for a moment. Suddenly, Sashou fled outside the fence. Before leaving, he hurriedly reminded Li Yan in a low voice, "Human, don't tell me what happened to me."

In an instant, Sasafune disappeared without a trace.

However, with that hurried jump, when Natsume Takazhi came over, he still saw the fish tail, and was taken aback for a moment.

"...Xiamu, why haven't you slept yet?" Li Yan asked with a bitter smile.

"Well, I suddenly heard someone talking in the courtyard, so I came over to have a look."

"It's okay, I'm just chatting with a friend on the phone, don't care."

Li Yan was reluctantly trying to stop Natsume Takazhi, but Natsume Takazhi's eyes were a little concerned, and he still looked at the figure that disappeared outside the window.

In the early morning, the students were walking on their way to school.

Different from the coastal avenues by the sea, and different from the busy school scene of subways and trams in the city, the rhythm of going to school in the countryside is quite leisurely. Walking among the misty rice fields and mountains is like walking in a landscape painting scroll. It is also the unique privilege of going to school in the countryside.

"...Last night, the monster that I met with senior was her?" Natsume Takashi thought curiously as he walked on the road to school.

Sasabune, a merman monster whose name is listed in the Book of Friends. Compared with so many monsters she has seen, she belongs to the basically harmless category, also because of things like [Eating the flesh and blood of a merman can be immortal] The remnants of the mermaid family who were slaughtered by humans according to rumors, when they hated humans, they also deeply formed a deep friendship with a former human girl who is now an old lady in a homestay.After the past suspicions were cleared up, this mermaid girl had rarely appeared in front of Xia Mu's eyes. It was unclear why, but she suddenly came to his house at this time.

"Natsume, wait for me!"

Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind. When Natsume Takazhi turned his head to look, he found that it was Nishimura running over in a hurry.

"Ah, good morning, Nishimura."

Natsume Takashi said hello with a smile.

"Well, good morning." Nishimura said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Senior Li didn't come here with you, didn't he say he wanted to take a look at our school?" Nishimura asked curiously.

"Yes, but senior has seen it yesterday, and went back to Dr. Kokura to report and discuss the work situation very early. I heard that he missed a day of school yesterday, and he will be doubled back to tutoring today. He probably doesn't have time to come here again today. Let's go." Xia Mu Guizhi thought of Li Yan's expression of starting with a sullen face, and said with a laugh.

"Really, I always feel that the top students of Dongda University are really not good enough. Sure enough, I still don't have the talent to be a college student." Nishimura smiled and made fun of it.

As he was walking, Nishimura suddenly remembered something. He looked at Natsume and seemed a little hesitant to tell him. These few inadvertent movements were noticed by Natsume Takashi.

"What's wrong, Nishimura?" Natsume Takashi asked.

"actually……"

Nishimura was silent for a while, and finally he looked a little heavy, and said, "Natsume, do you remember the last time the three of us went on a short trip and stayed in a B&B with pools and swamps everywhere?"

"...Ah, of course I remember, so..." Natsume Takashi nodded and asked.

"The old grandma in the homestay has passed away. Just three days ago, she died at home and passed away peacefully. I want to go there with you and Beiben to pay homage to the old grandma."

Nishimura lowered his head slightly and said to Natsume Takashi.

A ding sound resounded from Natsume Takashi's consciousness.

Miss Mermaid's friend, that old grandmother, passed away...

Whether it is humans or monsters, they are all creatures who are afraid of loneliness, afraid to take the first step to break the current situation...
