Where's my childhood sweetheart?

On the bench next to Nanachi House, Ayu and Natsume Takashi sat on both sides, and in the middle was a pile of bags and a cat teacher who ate a lot.

Natsume Takashi just felt a little depressed.

Teacher Cat has already eaten more than ten servings, all of which were paid for by the little girl.He, a high school student, actually spends the money of a primary school student.

He has no face OTZ

"it does not matter."

As if seeing Natsume Takashi's embarrassment, Ayou blinked after class, and touched the cat teacher who was binge eating.

"I also like cats very much, because my mother is allergic to cat fur, so I don't usually touch them, and Teacher Cat is so cute."

As she spoke, she opened another steamed bun, placed it in front of Teacher Cat, and spoke enviously.

"It's nice to have a cat."

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Natsume Takashi felt tired when he looked at the cat teacher who had a hideous face because of eating Hesai.

No, teacher, this is not a cat, it is a pig!

Just when he was struggling, Mr. Cat, who ate more than a dozen servings, finally stopped his ferocious eating and changed his sitting posture, but he still didn't stop talking.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one on your arm, little girl, is the curse of a monster, right?"

"Hey?"

Natsume Takashi was taken aback, and looked at Ayou's arm.

I saw a very conspicuous mark on Fang Bai/nen's arm, the size of half a palm, the very conspicuous red mark seemed to flow.

"Do not worry about it."

Ayou looked at the mark, then smiled at Natsume Takashi.

"I have nothing to do, this is just an ordinary mark."

Natsume Takashi: I believe in your evil!

He recalled how he was with the monster just now. Although the situation was urgent, he was sure that the other party did not have this mark before.

and so……

It must be something that monster did.

Reminiscent of the last words that the monster said before, Takashi Natsume began to have a bad premonition in his heart.

Originally, he was entrusted by the monster intermediate to find the person who committed suicide in the forest. Because of the intermediate description, he thought that person was a burly man who could beat eight monsters by himself. Now...

If Mr. Cat hadn't told him that he couldn't figure it out at all!The person who couldn't beat a bunch of monsters in the forest turned out to be a child who looked only eight or nine years old!

What the hell is going on in this world!

"you……"

Natsume Takashi suddenly paused when he looked at the girl in front of him calmly.

The other party has been committing suicide, and it has been going on for a while, and judging from the descriptions of the monsters, it is absolutely sincere.

This made Natsume Takashi feel distressed.So what is the reason for the small child to commit suicide?Is it also because you can see monsters that you don't understand?

Natsume Takashi, who deeply knew the pain, pursed his lips, and his eyes became firm.

"I heard about you from the intermediate level, you have been..."

He hesitated slightly, but still said those two words.

"suicide?"

"Um...yes, what's wrong?"

Ayou looked at Natsume Takashi suspiciously.

"Did something bad happen to you?"

Natsume Takashi looked at Ayou with cautious eyes, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly become agitated.

"If you encounter any troubles, I can help you. You see, we can all see monsters. If you have any troubles, you can tell me."

"Hey?"

Ayou froze for a moment, and then realized.She looked at Natsume Takashi, who was watching her carefully, and couldn't help laughing.

"No."

She bent her eyes and spoke solemnly.

"The family is harmonious, the friends are friendly, and the grades are the first in the year. There is nothing bad in my life."

Natsume Takashi stared at Ayou in a daze, feeling that he suddenly couldn't turn the corner.

"then you……"

"But people have to have dreams. What is the difference between having no dreams and salted fish? My dream is death."

"..."

Natsume Takashi suddenly fell silent, because his parents died and he could see monsters since he was a child, so he has been tossing and turning among his relatives in some ways, and he has been unexpectedly mature.

He saw it very clearly.The child in front of me, when he said 'dream is suicide', his eyes lit up.This is what Natsume has seen in countless monsters.

He thought of Yan, Ying who had turned into fireflies all over the sky, copper and light green onions that had left, and many monsters similar to them.The kind of firm eyes that are desperate, never turning back, even if it is desperate to complete.

He suddenly felt speechless.

Natsume Takashi never thought that such eyes would appear on a child who looked only eight or nine years old.

Just when he didn't know how to speak, teacher cat's voice saved him.

"I'm talking about you, little girl, what do you say about dreams or not!"

Throwing another piece of steamed bun into his mouth, Mr. Cat's voice was strange.

"Hell is not a good place to be."

"Well...it's true."

Ayou nodded, agreeing with Teacher Cat's words very much.

After all, she is not interested in either heaven or hell.

"So the death I want is the kind that destroys even the soul."

The cat teacher's action of stuffing the steamed buns froze immediately. It turned its head and looked at Ayou dumbfounded. It only felt that this human girl seemed to have something wrong with her brain.

Why are you so hard on yourself?Still the soul is annihilated?Why don't you go to heaven?

"But you'll make someone sad."

Natsume Takashi looked at Ayou anxiously, and raised one hand to hold an example.

"Look, your family, your friends, they're all going to be sad."

Ayou's eyes softened, she looked at the curse mark on her arm, and her voice became light and ethereal.

"So I've made preparations a long time ago, and everyone won't be sad."

"Prepare?"

"I can't say it."

Ayou blinked at Natsume Takashi after class, with some playfulness in his voice.

"This is a secret that only one person will know after I die."

After all, the almighty second brother is not something she can do.

"But……"

"No buts."

Ayou looked at Natsume Takashi quietly, then slightly raised the corners of her lips.

"Everyone won't be sad, so it's okay if I die, right? It's obviously my life. No, maybe it's not mine."

She just said Natsume Takashi's incomprehensible words, obviously smiling, but there was something gathered in her eyes, which was so hazy that people couldn't see the deepest part clearly.

She uttered a question that made people feel extremely heavy.

"You can't even control your own life, can you?"

Natsume Takashi: "..."

No, very wrong, very wrong.

He clearly knew that the other party said something that could be said to be "unreasonable", but all the persuasion paled when the girl uttered the last sentence.

He could not refute this 'fallacy', because of course people can determine their own lives.

In the end, he could only move his lips, and then said a word weakly.

"That's not what it means to be in control of your own life..."

"boom--"

Something flew over Natsume Takashi's head, and the cat teacher patted Natsume Takashi's head while yelling loudly.

"It's a good thing for people to have ideals. You just worry too much."

"Hey! This is different! Come down quickly, teacher!"

……

……

After bidding farewell to the worried and gentle boy, Ayou walked home in a good mood. She was delighted to see the red curse mark on her arm.

Although I don't know what this curse seal is, but judging by the ferocity of that monster, it is definitely not a good thing, either slowly absorbing life or positioning that monster.

The African monster is really honest, if you come back to find someone, you will definitely come back to find someone, you must give it a thumbs up!

"Ah... pomelo?"

Just when Ayou was happy, a slightly deep voice rang out. There was shock and disbelief in that voice, as well as obvious surprise.Ayou looked up suspiciously, and a mature-looking red-haired man came into view.

Ayou:? ? ?

This... who is here?
