I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"Ah, monster, monster!" Sasuke flashed back to the tree by the river, staring at Li Yan with a look of fear.

"Wait a minute, who are you talking about as a monster, I should have said this right?!" Li Yan frowned and said displeasedly.

"...Why, why did you show up in Natsume's school, what's the matter here?"

The mermaid girl was probably facing Li Yan for the second time. Although she was still a little afraid of him, her mood quickly calmed down. Her beautiful face was a little puzzled. After blinking her eyes, she asked.

"I'm here to assist with my teacher's lectures. I've answered your question honestly. Now it's my turn, Miss Sasabune, why did you appear on campus, or did you come to look for Natsume? "Li Yan changed the subject and asked.

This question seemed to return to the topic of last night, which made Sasafune startled. She stood there blankly. After a while, her soft lips moved slightly, but she stopped talking.

"What, what, why should I tell you, you don't care about my affairs, anyway, I'm not here to attack Xiamu, you should be relieved!" Duanli's cheeks blushed slightly, and she didn't seem to want to be attacked by Li Yan had been suspicious all the time, and finally said something to refute him.

"...I didn't suspect you, you were there at the time. At that time, Natsume was attacked by monsters. It was quite dangerous every time, and I couldn't take it lightly. After all, I promised his parents to take good care of him. Miss Sasuke, you said you wouldn't. Attacking Xiamu, is there any evidence to prove it?" Li Yan looked slightly embarrassed, looked at her with a serious expression, and asked.

"...Uh, this, this...how could I possibly have evidence? I can't leave evidence for what I've experienced like this. Although I, I did frighten him a little bit, I just told him to not mind his own business. It's because of this... I think back later, I always do this, when my head is hot, I always want to give the other party a little pain, but after this, I always feel that I owe Natsume a lot of favor."

Sasuke lowered her head slightly with a sense of guilt on her face, but then she raised her head, her eyes were slightly tearful, her cheeks flushed, she clenched her fists, and tried her best to retort: ​​"However, mermaids have always been taken The target of human slaughter, we mermaids are not as unscrupulous and murderous as you humans!"

"..."

Li Yan was stared at by Sashou's firm and powerful rebuttal, and the pair of dissatisfied and beautiful eyes, and he was suddenly speechless.

Sure enough, Sasafune, it shouldn't be a youkai looking for trouble with Natsume Takashi...

In the quiet campus, a gust of wind gently blows the leaves, the fish pond, the fragrant grass, the falling cherry blossoms, the lonely mermaid girl has not left, the beauty is not square, she stands under the tree, silently waiting for Natsume , somewhat brave, but also looks timid.

"If that's the case, if you have something to say to Xia Mu, just tell him, you don't need to hide at all." Li Yan was silent for a while before persuading him.

"...I...I think..."

Sashou was stunned for a moment, and immediately, she withdrew her slight anger and told Li Yan her purpose.

"I want to make up for Natsume's favor, so..." Sasafune continued in a low voice.

At this moment, in the corridor of the teaching building, there were the footsteps of several people.

"Huh? Ah... Natsume, come here, it's Senior Li."

Suddenly, a young girl with short brown hair walking through the corridor saw Li Yan standing alone by the lotus pond in the school, and was surprised. After all, she had known Li Yan before, and immediately greeted the person not far behind. Natsume Takashi came over.

Natsume Takashi quickly walked out, and not far away, he saw Sashou, who had not seen each other for a while, and Li Yan, and his expression changed slightly.

"Huh?!" Sasuke was startled and couldn't help but jumped into the lotus pond, turned into a fish and escaped.

"...In the end, he still escaped, so the disadvantage of Aojiao is that it gives people a headache." Li Yan noticed Natsume at first, but before it was too late to stop Sasuke from escaping, he suddenly sighed in anguish.

However, he looked at Xia Mu Guizhi again. At this moment, Li Yan could also see from Xia Mu's expression that it was useless to play stupid.

"You already knew it," Li Yan said.

"Um... I'm sorry, senior, after all, she doesn't look like she's going to be discovered by me." Natsume Takashi said with a smile.

"Sometimes, you should take the initiative. Being too gentle will delay some things. The longer the misunderstanding, the more energy you have to solve. Sure enough, you and her know each other. I've been worried for so long, but it's a good thing. , then I will ignore this matter for the time being." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Uh..." Duogui was dazed and looked at the two of them in confusion, but she still understood vaguely, it seemed that it was about monsters, she always felt that maybe Li Yan was wrong. Like Takashi Natsume, he is also a special person who can see youkai without any obstacles.

"I haven't seen you for a while, multi-track classmate." Li Yan noticed the multi-track spy on the side, nodded and said hello.

"Well, Senior Li, last time I was taken care of in Tokyo." Multi-track Toyoying said with a smile.

"Don't dare, I will definitely treat you and Xiamu more attentively next time."

After a little politeness with Duogui, Li Yan turned his attention back to Takashi Natsume and asked, "So, Natsume, what are you going to do?"

"..."

After being silent for a while, Takashi Natsume said calmly: "I don't hold any grudge against anyone, Miss Sasabune seems to have been shaken by someone's death, only the person you want to see will no longer be lonely. I'm alone. However, if a lonely person is given thoughts, he will only appear more lonely. I will talk to Miss Sasabune, but I will find her after she calms down. "

After he finished speaking, he showed a warm smile.

"Well, I understand." Li Yan nodded and said.He felt that if Natsume Takazhi was the case, it would make people feel very relieved.

"Senior... When school is over in the afternoon, do you have time? A few classmates and I are going to pay homage to an old man we know. Sure enough, I also hope that the senior will also come with me. I will tell the senior and Duorail about Miss Sasabune. ."

Natsume Guizhi pondered for a while, and finally, he looked at Li Yan and asked.

※※※

In the mountains and forests about ten kilometers away from the village and town where Natsume lives, there is an area with many rivers, lakes and swamps.

After getting off the bus, Li Yan and Natsume Takashi were dressed in black and walked along a road leading to the deep forest. The sky was a little gray, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

"It's going to rain." Kitamura looked up and said.

"Well, we have to hurry up." Natsume Takashi said to them.

Li Yan had no choice but to follow closely behind the team. Neither he nor Duogui had ever met that old grandmother, who had forged an indissoluble bond with the mermaid, who had a relationship spanning decades of friendship. But after listening to Natsume's narration on the road, he and Duogui also had the intention to commemorate this person they had never met.

【Pfft! ! 】

When they were passing by a slender wooden bridge across the lake, they suddenly heard the sound of water under their feet. Both Li Yan and Natsume Takashi realized something, but when they looked down at the lake, there was nothing.

However, probably... that "friend" who had been avoiding all this time also returned to his hometown.

Banaka Chitsu, this is the name of that old grandmother. Although she is very old, she has always insisted on opening this folk store called [Yushizhuang B&B], so that guests from far away have a good rest and have a good time. Chatting, unknowingly, many people were taken care of by her. In this afternoon, not only Natsume Takazhi and others, but also guests from other places, and even those who came by plane, all participated. The funeral of a friend.

Soon, the ashes, escorted by her descendants, were sent to the cemetery, where they were displayed among the rows of tombstones.
