[Comprehensive] Just a housekeeper

A few days have passed since that festival, but Natsume can still clearly recall what he saw at that time.

Lively crowds, beautiful fireworks, beautiful dances...

At school, he and Kashiwagi and Tsukimi and their newest friends, Tomogi Mogi with the little yellow dragon, and Daichi Riaki with the nightmares by his side.Several people had lunch together on the rooftop, and heard them mention monsters and shrines. Natsume, who didn't know much about shrines, mentioned the previous festivals, and strongly recommended everyone to visit next time.

"Because it's really pretty."

Kashiwa Mukong and Kamiya Tayue, who have always lived here, nodded in agreement. Naturally, the two locals have participated in and seen it before.In fact, they also went to the last festival, but there were too many people, so it happened that they didn't meet Natsume and the others.

And Liqiu Dadi, who had been living in a muddle because of nightmares before, and Motegi Chao, who moved here and was not familiar with it, were looking forward to it.

"Miko, the festival, and the wine dedicated to the gods, it sounds so romantic~" Mogi, a girl, folded her hands together and looked forward with bright eyes.

Li Qiu Dadi also put his arms around his arms and nodded: "Yes." It sounds very powerful.

But speaking of the wine offered to God.Bai Mukong clapped his hands suddenly, remembering what he forgot before.

"Natsume-kun, haven't you seen a god?" Kashiwagi put down the bento in his hand and asked.

God?Natsume froze for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Gods... still exist?" His words hesitated.He remembered that he was chased by monsters to hide in the shrine before. Although those monsters who chased him seemed afraid of the shrine and would not come in, he never saw the god from the beginning to the end.

"Of course it exists!" said the red-haired girl Mogi Xing.Said vigorously.

"That's a god."

"Enen." Regarding her words, Kamiya and the others also nodded affirmatively.

"It's just that gods are much harder to see than monsters."

"Ha..." Natsume was stunned.

Do gods actually exist?

that still...

"That's great."

Putting the bento box away, Natsume inexplicably felt a sense of relief, and a warm smile from the heart unconsciously bloomed on his face.

It turned out that everyone in the shrine was not gone, it was just that he couldn't see it.

He doesn't know.

However, what does the god look like? Is it the same as the one in the book or the painting?Or is it the shiny one?Unconsciously, two men in gorgeous kimonos appeared in my mind. When they turned their heads, one face was shining, and the other was like a portrait, with Danfeng eyes and a pouting Ukiyo-e face.

"Pfft."

"Natsume-kun?" Kashiwa Mukong and Kamiya Tayue looked at Natsume Takashi who suddenly covered his mouth, blushed and trembled for some reason.

Did they say something that made you laugh just now?

"Hey, Natsume-kun, do you want to see Lord Shenming?" Bai Mukong put the lunch box aside, leaned over and asked with a mysterious smile.

"Listen to what you said just now, you haven't seen Lord Shenming yet~"

"Hey?!" Natsume's body shook, and he suddenly came back to his senses, looking up to see Kashiwagi and several others looking at him with unknown smiles.

Kashiwagi and the others: Oh, I have never seen a god~

Natsume: O mouth o? !

"I, I, I...go to see Lord Shenming?" Natsume pointed at himself with circled eyes, completely confused.

My lord!That's a god!How could he go to see Lord Shenming all right? ? ?

"Hahaha, anyway, Natsume-kun, are you free this Saturday? Come to me if you are free." Kashiwagi patted Natsume's shoulder, smiled and gave a thumbs-up.

"We'll take you to our secret base."

Motegi warmly welcomed and said: "Yes, come on, little Natsume, there is a surprise~"

Li Qiu Dadi: "En En."

"I said, didn't you tell the surprise at the beginning?" He Yue looked at his companions helplessly.

"He month!" x3

Looking at the noisy seniors, Natsume's originally nervous mood relaxed a lot, after all, the seniors would never harm him.At the same time, driven by inner curiosity, Natsume who was still a young man stumbled and nodded: "Ah... I'll go..."

……

The sun was not yet low, and the wind was blowing on the grass.On the way home after school, Natsume turned the intersection and turned to the road of his house.A long distance away, he was a little surprised to see Mr. Saikawa standing at the door.

"Mr. Saikawa!"

Trotting to the door of the house, Natsume stopped in front of Xichuan gasping for breath.

"You're back, Natsume-kun." Saikawa, who came back from the door, saw the young man running to him, the rim of his glasses reflected light slightly, and reached out to rub his hair.

Hmm, I feel like I've grown a lot taller.

"Well, I'm back." Smiling at Mr. Saikawa, Natsume suddenly saw something similar to an invitation card in Saikawa's hand. That's why Mr. Saikawa stopped at the door—to check the mailbox.

Who sent it to Saikawa-san?

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at the invitation card in Xichuan's hand, and Natsume thought curiously.

Opening the gate of the yard, Xichuan, who kept a small distance, noticed Natsume's gaze, so he simply said as he walked, "This was just delivered today. I took a look at it. It is an invitation to attend a meeting of a relative of mine. funeral."

funeral?Natsume hesitated for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly lowered his head and said in a panic: "Please, please forgive me."

"Well, thank you Natsume-kun, but I'm fine." Saikawa put his hands into his sleeves, stood on the ground and explained with a normal expression: "That person is far from my blood relationship, and compared to me, he is actually more inclined to you." My relatives. I also saw a few times in other people’s homes when I was very young and never saw him again when I was growing up. I don’t have a deep relationship.” I guess if he wasn’t a fairly famous writer, maybe even inviting him by the way Not invited.

Yeah.Natsume was ashamed, and he roughly guessed why the other party invited Mr. Saikawa.

After explaining this to Natsume, Saikawa continued to walk towards the door. When he came to the door, he opened the door, and the two walked in together.

"However, although the relationship is far away, the invitation has been sent after all. I still have to attend that funeral, which will be on Sunday three days later." After changing his shoes, Xi Chuan put the invitation on the cabinet at the door.

"Shall I go too?" Natsume took out his slippers and asked while sitting on the door rail.

"Do you want to go?" Sai Chuan lowered his head and turned around.

Natsume paused, pursed her lips, and looked away from Xichuan's face, and said in a low voice: "If Mr. Xichuan thinks I'm troublesome, I don't have to go."

"No, I've never thought about it that way." Xi Chuan closed his eyes and waved his hands: "I just care about you. There will be many relatives over there, and the family you used to foster will also come."

"So if Natsume-kun doesn't want to meet certain people, you don't have to go."

"It's okay." Natsume shook his head lightly.

"Those who are willing to adopt me are good people. I am very grateful to them, so I will not be unwilling. Although...they may not want to see me, but if Mr. Saikawa is going, I want to accompany you." That kind of place , I don't want Mr. Saikawa to be alone.

"Then let's be together at that time." Xi Chuan made a decisive decision.

It’s rare for Natsume-kun to take the initiative to go to crowded places. Is this how it feels to have a clingy child at home?He doesn't hate it.

……

Saturday.

As agreed, Kashiwagi and Heyue brought Xiao Yi and Koni to find Natsume.Originally, Motegi Chao and Liqiu Dadi were also coming, but Dadi was temporarily called by the teacher to make up lessons because of the unsatisfactory results in the Friday exam, and Motegi was unable to leave because there were guests at home, so this time only Kashiwagi and Kamiya took Natsume to go first, and the two of them would rush over to meet after they were done.

They greeted Xichuan, and asked Natsume to walk towards school with Fumiao.As they walked, the three of them turned to another remote road with few people walking under the leadership of Baimu.

Holding Fumiao in his arms, Natsume watched the seniors, each with Xiao Yi and Ke Ni, walk through the aisle familiarly, and walked towards the remote mountain forest.

And when the few people got closer and closer to the mountain forest, Natsume suddenly realized that it seemed that this was not the first time he had been here.

This familiar scenery and bumpy road... When he met Mr. Saikawa for the first time, he was chased here by monsters.

With that said, Natsume looked somewhere in the forest.

Is that the shrine?

It turns out that this shrine can still pass by this road.Natsume suddenly realized.

The three talked and laughed, and after walking for a long time, they saw the shrine hidden in the mountains and forests.

"This is the Ototsu Shrine." Stepping on the stone steps of the shrine, Kashiwagi began to introduce with a smile.

"Although it's not as famous as Miyamizu Shrine, it's a shrine that holds festivals, but it's also the largest shrine in our town," he added.

"Goo!" "Enh." Xiao Yi and Ke Ni stood on their shoulders and nodded in agreement.

"I know meow here." Dafu's ears trembled twice, his eyes sparkled and he raised his hand and said, "Our Fumeow is the one who has a meeting here."

"Open, meeting?" Xiao Yi and Ke Ni, who didn't know what a meeting was, tilted their heads in confusion.

It turns out that the gathering of cats is really a meeting.

"Wow, that must be very interesting." Kashiwagi's eyes were shining, and he was dreaming in anticipation.

A group of fluffy cats gathered together holding meat balls, meowing and meowing in a meeting, that scene was really super kawaii~~

"Not at all." Dafu pouted and said with a serious face: "Every meeting is talking about very serious things meow!"

"Really." He asked curiously.

"for example?"

"When I was in a meeting, I was patrolling in the village and found a kitten who couldn't find its mother cat. Then I took it to the meeting place to find a cat I knew, and then sent it back to meow!"

"Wow~~~~" Bai Mu let out a wow in surprise, and Xiao Yi stood on his shoulder and waved her hands excitedly: "Goo!!"

Even Tayue also praised: "Good job." And Ke Ni even gave a thumbs up: "Good!"

"Daifuku did a good job." Natsume smiled and rubbed Daifuku's head.

"I'm impressed with you."

"Meow hee hee~~~" (///^w^///) Dafu rubbed his soft cheek in embarrassment.

Walking into the shrine, Kashiwagi and Tayue led Xichuan to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva beside him.

"This is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the shrine, also known as Grandpa."

"How are you all?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made of stone said with a kind smile.

"Gu!" Xiao Yi and Ke Ni jumped off Bai Mu and Ta Yue, and approached Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Grandpa~"

Before the stunned Natsume could react, the great blessing in his arms jumped out, threw itself on the head of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and lay down on it.

"So it's Dafu, hello." With a cat hanging on his face, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's voice became muffled.

"Oh, Daifuku, come down quickly." Natsume hurriedly picked up Daifuku in embarrassment.

"How can it go up to other people's heads?"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm Takashi Natsume, Daifuku didn't mean it."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, all the lucky cats are like this, this is their behavior of liking people, and I'm already used to it." Grandpa Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and really didn't care about the previous things at all.

"Yes, Natsume-kun, grandpa is very nice." Kashiwagi smiled and waved his hand.

Seeing that Grandpa Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was so amiable, Natsume also relaxed.

After getting acquainted with Kashiwagi and the others, he gradually discovered that monsters are not all scary in the first place. Now, when he is sure that nothing will happen, he will not be afraid of monsters, and he will even listen to them when he has time. The words of those monsters, if they are in need and he can help, he will not mind helping them.

However, at this moment, Natsume suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and he turned his head slowly...

red and white.

This was the first thing Natsume saw, and when he held his breath and leaned back, he finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.

A strange man in a kimono with a mask on, no male or female visible, was sticking closely behind him without saying a word.

!!!∑(Дノ)ノNatsume: @#￥%&*! ! !

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolr"
