"There's no need to apologize, just remember."

"Sorry……"

I don't know why, after apologizing again, Jun fell asleep, maybe because of tiredness, or because he wanted to escape from reality.

Monsters are very simple, and sometimes they never grow up. As long as they make a promise, they will foolishly wait for the day when it will be fulfilled.

That's why I say 'you can't get married', humans and monsters...

When Jiuye was returning along the road with Knot on his back, he ran into Natsume and Mr. Kitty. Mr. Cat, who was already awake, was being hugged by Tou at the moment. They probably met Tou on the way.

"Natsume-kun told me, since I have found that little guy, I will go back."

Tou didn't ask anything, but that didn't mean she didn't care.

"Come on."

The girl next to Jiuye said so, and then Duogui Tou left the scene. She is really a likable girl.

After watching Toru leave, Natsume glanced at the knot on the back of Jiuye, and smiled while hugging Mr. Cat who looked extremely tired.

"I found it. Let's talk about something as we walk."

"what happened?"

Kuba and Natsume walked together on a road covered with a light layer of falling snow.

"Is Knot already asleep?"

"Well, it's probably because I was too tired and ran around without telling us."

"As far as we're concerned, she's just a child."

Natsume stroked Mr. Kitty's head and looked away from Yuu.

"It's snowing...Mr. Cat, don't warm the wine with a fire in the room."

"Hmph! Idiot Natsume, you actually think of me as an idiot, so I won't be so stupid!"

The cat teacher who was swinging his paw protested, but Natsume ignored his protest and said to Jiu Ye

"I looked into the shrine that my multi-track classmates told us about."

"It's six stations away, right? I don't know if I can find it when I go."

"That's not what I want to say..."

Natsume's expression suddenly became sad, making Jiuye puzzled.

For some reason, Natsume checked to see if Yuzu was asleep, and continued.

"That shrine is called 'Sua Shrine'. It collapsed due to an earthquake a year ago, and it was eventually treated as an earthquake site. However, it plans to start rebuilding recently, so ordinary people cannot enter."

"Huh? Collapsed?"

"Mr. Jiuye, if you can see monsters, you must be very clear. Humans are different from monsters; their years and months are very different from those of humans. The time spent and things experienced by the two will eventually be separated gradually. distance."

Natsume's words turned into white heat and dissipated, but it was impossible to forget.

"Waiting, which is a matter of course for youkai, is a long life in the eyes of humans. This is unreasonable."

"That's why I call you idiots."

Mr. Cat said sarcastically, squinting his eyes and looking at the knot on Jiuye's back.

"That little monster is living in a dream, and there is no way forward for her to continue."

Because there is no road ahead;

Because she is a monster.

That's really a pity, Jiuye exhaled.

"I'll take her there."

"This is Mr. Jiuye's decision."

Natsume simply responded, without stopping or advising.

In fact, this is not Jiuye's choice, but Jie's choice...

Jiuye could feel Knot's hands clenched tightly behind his back, and his small body was trembling. The part of his back that was wet with cold water was probably because Knot was crying.

It's so cold... Jiuye felt that way again.

Don't cry, Jiuye can't say this, he can only fulfill that wish for her.

At this time, the snow was still falling, and his thoughts passed through the icy ocean in his heart, spread like fog, and finally drifted away in helpless sighs...

【Thank you for your subscription!Hope to keep going up!Recommended tickets are the best!If you haven't, go and read the emotional tape comics! (laughs)] By the way, a new book has been uploaded!I don't know if it will pass the review tomorrow! [PS: It's cold in winter, but Natsume is very gentle!In addition, I really want a cat teacher! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

Chapter 8 That's why Natsume is so gentle

If it doesn't turn out the way you'd like, give it a shot before the dust settles.

——Takashi Natsume

“True fans!!!”

Jiuye yelled to the night sky in the snowy winter, not only made the pedestrians around look puzzled, even Natsume didn't know what he was talking about.

In fact, Jiu Ye is also a fan of Natsume. This gentle and careful boy believes that he has captured the hearts of many people; whether he is a man or a woman, he will feel relaxed in front of a gentle guy.

Just like delicious food will be liked by many people, it does not mean that women will not like the food that men like... Wait, this seems to imply that as long as they are cute, it is the same as long as they wear handles, so it is still Let's end this topic.

It's six o'clock in the morning, and Jiu Ye, who originally planned to take Yu directly to the Sua Shrine, finally postponed it a little bit. After all, everyone needs to rest, especially Yu and Mrs. Cat.

So at six o'clock today, Jiu Ye, accompanied by Natsume and Mr. Cat, took Yuto to Sua Shrine. Yes, Natsume and Mr. Cat also joined the journey.

There are also many people on the tram in the early morning, but fortunately, there are not many people on the tram to Sua Shrine, and there are more than half of the seats.

After Jiuye confirmed that Yume had fallen asleep on his shoulder, he handed Natsume one of the warm handbags he bought just now.

"Use this to keep you warm, Natsume-kun's face seems to be turning red from the cold."

"Maybe it's because of the snow that the temperature has cooled down. Mr. Cat, please don't come out of the backpack."

Natsume reminded Mr. Kitty while holding the hand warmer Jiu Ye gave him in the palm of his hand, as if he was relieved, the whole person relaxed.

There are still five stations before arriving at the destination. Jiuye, who thought he would arrive soon by bus, realizes that he has to wait for a while. The tram passes through six stations, so it seems that there is still a little distance.

"Mr. Jiu Ye, do you have a stomach? I have rice balls made from leftover rice last night. Since I only found seaweed in the refrigerator, there are no other side dishes."

"I'm not hungry now, but in your country...you only use seaweed and salt to make rice balls, right? In my country, I like to stuff rice balls with various ingredients."

"That's about the same. These rice balls just don't include side dishes."

"That's right, by the way, don't add health medicine to rice balls, the taste is really horrible."

"How could health medicine be put into rice balls as part of side dishes? That's outrageous."

Perhaps seeing Jiu Ye's rather strange expression, Natsume laughed.

"Haha, Mr. Jiuye is really interesting."

"I consider myself a serious guy, girls over there please don't take pictures."

The girl stopped by Jiuye still took back the phone with a satisfied face, not knowing what she was going to use it for...

"Except for Mr. Cat, I feel that I will rarely meet someone like Mr. Jiuye."

Natsume recalled his experience so far. He also met some people who could see monsters, but he only established contact with a small number of them, let alone such free conversations.

From Jiu Ye's point of view, the easiest people (or monsters) to get along with Natsume, except Mr. Kitty, are Natori Monday and Tanuma.

A person will meet many people in his life, and passing by for a few seconds is also a "fate", but there are very few people whose "fate" will be connected together, let alone a guy like Natsume who can see monsters.

It may also be a kind of happiness to meet friends who can talk freely.

But Jiuye can see that the power of the monster comes from the main god, and it is not a natural psychic user, but a fake...

"It's a bit troublesome. The snow is getting bigger and bigger. I thought it would stop tonight."

"That's why I asked Mr. Jiuye to put on more clothes. I have just recovered from a cold. I have a deep understanding of the pain of catching a cold."

"Actually...if you can recruit people who will take care of Natsume-kun, I believe that tens of thousands of people will come to sign up in no time."

"How is it possible, I'm not a celebrity."

Natsume didn't quite understand what Jiuye said, if he understood, what would he say?

In other worlds, there are many, many people who care about themselves. Sometimes they are worried, sometimes missed, and sometimes supported. Even if they are things that cannot be seen, they may become stronger because of them.

The current Natsume is actually strong enough to return her name to those monsters for her grandmother, risking her life during the period, but even so she continued, which is admirable.

"Did I ask you once before? Natsume-kun, why are you so obsessed with returning your name to those monsters? This is a very dangerous thing."

"Grandma took away the names of those monsters because of her willful relationship. Now that she passed away, only I can return them, and..."

Natsume, who turned slightly sideways, looked at the receding white city outside the car window, and continued what he said just now

"In addition to responsibility, those bound monsters are also very poor. There are also some monsters waiting for promises that will never be fulfilled. I don't want their time to freeze at the moment when they lose their names."

Even though monsters are different from humans and do not have an accurate concept of time, monsters still need to grow, and if they are kept restrained, they will only stand still.

"I'm actually afraid of touching those scary monsters, but sometimes if you get to know them, you will find the softest part in their hearts."

"Hmph, this is just the self-consolation of you idiot. It would be nice to hand over the friend account to me earlier."

"Mr. Cat, don't talk, be careful to be discovered."

Natsume blocked the zipper of the backpack with his hand, and the plump, dumpling cat teacher was moving his body, not paying attention at all.

"Well, there are very few people now, so it's probably okay."

Jiuye comforted Natsume who was about to quarrel with Mr. Cat, but he felt that the bickering between the two was quite interesting.

"Mr. Jiuye, please don't talk to Mr. Cat, have you forgotten that he got drunk last night?"

"That was just an accident. My lord usually doesn't get drunk. Don't you think the humans over there are right?"

Don't ask me at the same time!

Having said that, Kuba finally put his hand on Natsume's shoulder.

"I support Natsume."

Maybe it's the fans...

----

Jiuye's arms carried the small weight of Yukito, and his shoulders supported Natsume's head.

Most likely because he didn't sleep well last night, and Natsume, who just recovered from the cold, lacked energy and physical strength, so he took a nap on Jiuye's shoulder on the way.

Whether it was Yuu or Natsume, their breathing was very steady, and they didn't seem to be having nightmares.

Hmm... and Natsume Takashi's sleeping face and side face, let Jiu Ye feel that this guy is indeed favored, he is a handsome guy.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's already the sixth stop."

"Ah~ I fell asleep? I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiuba."

"I'd be happier if a girl borrowed my shoulder."

"I'm so sorry."

After responding to Jiu Ye's joke, Natsume and Jiu Ye walked towards the platform together.

"Comfortable! Comfortable!!!"

With the knot on his back, Jiu Ye saw the cat teacher running out of Natsume's backpack, stretching himself in Natsume's arms, breathing the morning air.

"It stands to reason that this kind of plot will be skipped..."

Jiu Ye really hopes to reach the next destination as soon as the camera turns like an anime character, but it is obviously impossible for him to do that kind of thing in reality.

Jiu Ye, who was walking with Natsume, came to the outside of the station and chose to take a taxi to Sua Shrine in order to speed up.

The very strange streets keep receding, and the world stained with pure white makes people feel that everything is the same everywhere.

Soon everyone arrived at their destination. It was still dark in winter at 30:[-] in the morning, but this was a good thing. "Sure enough, it was blocked."
