[Comprehensive] Just a housekeeper

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Saikawa in the kitchen shouted that you are back as usual.

However, what surprised him today was that he didn't hear Natsume's voice saying that I was back after a few seconds.

Turning around, Saikawa found that Natsume walked in with his shoes on, and walked directly to the kitchen door.

"summer……"

Before he could finish speaking, Natsume suddenly opened his arms and rushed towards Xichuan.

Why? !Xi Chuan was startled, and reflexively turned sideways to hide.

boom!

His forehead hit the kitchen cabinet, and Natsume squatted down, sobbing and covering his head.

Saikawa: (-△-;)

"Uh, Natsume-kun, are you alright?" Unexpectedly, Natsume would rush over suddenly, Xi Chuan instinctively dodged like this, and now facing Natsume who seemed to be confused, he was a little guilty and worried.

"Do you want to get some medicine?"

"Mr. Xichuan..." Natsume trembled when he heard Xichuan's voice, and then raised his head suddenly.

The corners of the eyes are red and there is a nose, one can tell that she has cried.

Xi Chuan paused, frowned, and slowly asked: "What's the matter?" Although he looked calm on the surface, he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied in his heart.

Is this being bullied? !who is it?Someone actually bullied his children? !

Looking at Mr. Saikawa who was worried about him, Natsume's pupils trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips forcefully. He suddenly stood up, showing an extremely resolute expression.

"Mr. Saikawa!"

"Mmm, ah." Xichuan was taken aback by Natsume's sudden serious tone.

"Let's go!"

"Huh?" Yue-yue?

Natsume grabbed Xichuan with his trembling hand, this time Xichuan didn't dodge, let him drag him out of the kitchen, and strode towards the door.

"Wait, Natsume, is there something so urgent? The meal is half done and it's not ready yet. If you're not in a hurry, let me make it first. Let's go after eating."

"It's urgent!"

! ! !Saikawa opened his eyes in shock.

Natsume would actually speak to him in such a tone.

Could it be possessed by a monster? !Or is it directly transformed from a monster? ! ? !

After reading it with 'Ning' for a long time, I didn't see any problem, so Xichuan had no choice but to say: "Then Natsume-kun, tell me where we are going? I don't have any money with me now."

"..." Natsume stopped abruptly.

"Yes, and bring money." Natsume lowered his head and murmured, then turned around and pulled Xichuan to walk inside

"..." Saikawa's eyes twitched, and he stood firmly on his feet, while pulling Natsume towards him with the other hand, forcing him to look at his face.

"Natsume, calm down."

Natsume, who was twisted in front of Saikawa, stared at Saichuan silently, neither answering nor coming out of the previous trance state.

"……"What exactly is going on?Xi Chuan frowned and asked, "Natsume, answer me, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

"...Me." Natsume paused.

"I'm going to take Mr. Saikawa to the hospital."

"???"

Hospital?I?I have nothing to do?Or is he injured?Saikawa, who was in charge of the part-time therapist in charge of the former therapist and made sure that Natsume-kun had no skin breaks, at most scratches, was even more confused.

"Are you sick? Or is someone sick?"

"No, it's not me or someone else, but..." Natsume tried her best to swallow the rest of the words, bit her lip and lowered her eyes: "Mr. Xichuan will know when the time comes."

Xi Chuan: "..."

"I dont go."

"Mr. Saikawa!"

"You know it, right?" Saikawa slowly opened his eyes, and his brown and calm pupils looked at Natsume firmly.

"my body."

hum-

Suddenly, his mind went blank, Natsume opened his lips slightly in a trance, and said silently.

Mr. Saikawa...you know?

Eyelids drooping slightly, Saikawa sighed: "Let go of me, Natsume."

"I'm not going to the hospital."

"why?!"

"I know my body very well. I'm already terminally ill. Neither the hospital nor anyone can save me." Xi Chuan's tone was flat and calm, as if the terminally ill person he said was not himself but another person's business .

"How is it possible!" Natsume retorted loudly in panic: "There must be! I can definitely save you!"

The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva echoed in his ears again, deafening.

【"he……"

"That man named Xichuan can perceive monsters, and the power to attract those monsters... probably wasn't born with him."

"And he actually wants to see more now than before, right? His power will gradually increase until..."

"die."

"The smell of death will attract monsters, and his situation is a phenomenon that only people who are dying."]

"Mr. Xichuan, you will be fine!" Natsume held Xichuan's arm tightly.

If the hospital doesn't work, just look for monsters. If you want God, there must be a way!

"Natsume……"

Natsume's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Xichuan pleadingly.

"Please, go to the hospital..."

"..." Xichuan silently grabbed Natsume with his backhand, pulled him in front of him, bowed his head and hugged him.

Natsume, who was originally excited, suddenly quieted down.

At the moment Mr. Saikawa hugged her, Natsume felt as if everything around her suddenly stopped.

Saikawa...Mr....

And in this silent space, the only thing moving was the tears welling from his eyes.

Even though he was motionless, the liquid still surged, seeped out from his eyes, and soaked Saikawa's shoulders.

"Natsume, thank you."

Mr. Saikawa's gentle voice rang in Natsume's ears.

The moment Natsume heard it, tears flowed out even more uncontrollably.

He buried his face in Saikawa's arms and hugged him back, sobbing silently.

Saikawa didn't speak, just patted Natsume's back gently, allowing him to wet his clothes, feeling the tight back slowly collapse under his hands.

After a while, when Natsume calmed down and came back to his senses, he was dragged by Xi Chuan to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Natsume lowered his head and did not speak, quietly took off his shoes, hugged his knees and curled up on the sofa, letting the soft back swallow him.

When Saikawa came back with a cup of tea after making a pot of tea, he saw Natsume like this.

Helplessly drooping his shoulders, Saikawa walked over slowly, poured the tea and handed it to Natsume.

"Cough cough."

Natsume, who was resting on his arm, reacted a bit. He raised his head, glanced at the teacup that Saikawa handed over with his dull golden eyes, and slowly reached out to take it.

Saikawa got up, picked up his own cup, turned and sat beside Natsume, with one side of his body pressed against Natsume's arm.

"Although I don't know how you know, but...the person who told you is right." Saikawa took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, and lowered his eyes.

"I'm dying."

thump.

Natsume felt his heart twitch suddenly, he held the teacup with both hands, and lowered his head even more.

"Cough cough, cough cough." Xi Chuan coughed a few times, put down the arm on his lips, his glasses reflected a faint white light, and his expression was a little relieved.

Ha - he can finally cough normally.

All the while faking it, he could barely remember what a normal cough would be like.

"My body was found to be terminally ill before I retired, and I went to various hospitals for treatment, but nothing worked. The doctors said that it is not easy for me to persist until now."

"So after there was really nothing I could do, the doctor discharged me from the hospital."

"I also thought about asking gods or monsters, or similar guys for help, but it turns out that people's lifespans are as long as they should be. Even if they have magical powers, they are powerless in the face of time and life."

Natsume's body trembled.

"When I adopted you, my original intention was to have a companion during the last period of my life, and also to have someone who could remember me after death."

Natsume's hand holding the teacup tightened.

"But it's just such a plan. After we really get along, the feelings you and I give are not fake." Xi Chuan coughed lightly.

"During the days I spent with Natsume-kun, I don't know if you think my family is quite qualified, but I..."

"Very qualified!" Natsume lowered his head and said loudly with his eyes closed because of soreness.

"Mr. Saikawa has always, always been my proud family member!"

He is also the person I respect the most!

The cup stopped in mid-air, and Xi Chuan, who was holding it, was stunned for a moment, and then he 'smiled' in relief.

"Really, that's a coincidence, and I think so too." He turned his head and looked at the extremely gentle and soft delicate young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Like Natsume-kun, I also consider Natsume-kun to be my proud family."

Proud...family.

Natsume turned his head in a daze, and looked at Xichuan blankly, but when he met Xichuan's gaze, his face flushed red.

Rubbing Natsume's soft and slender hair, Saikawa said with emotion: "Originally, I wanted to last until you became an adult for Natsume-kun, but I didn't expect my body to be so disappointing."

Having said this, Xi Chuan quietly looked away.Hmm...it's actually quite disappointing.

After all, when he came here, there was already no cure, and relying on his thoughts, he managed to come back alive, not to mention, it got better at the beginning.And if he hadn't carried out that experiment, turning his pure thought into a green healing trick, his body would actually have supported it a little longer.

The originally ordinary and gentle mind ability has been transformed into a more domineering healing type mind ability. He found that once the converted mind cannot be well autonomously transformed into pure vitality to fill the body's defects, it is like a dead wood meeting a big tonic. Similarly, he can only rely on him to slow down the treatment and adjust slowly.

Natsume pursed her lips and said nothing.

"However, Natsume-kun, don't worry, I've already found a good family for you who can take care of you."

!!!

Natsume's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned sideways excitedly, looking at Mr. Saikawa beside him.

"I……"

"Can I not be adopted?!" I don't want to leave, I don't want to be separated from Mr. Saikawa!

Saikawa shook his head helplessly: "Natsume, I really want you to live freely on your own, but I'm sorry, I can't support you until you reach adulthood."

"After I'm gone, you will be forcibly taken away by the government as a minor, and you will be thrown to your family at will."

"And now, that will be the family that I have carefully selected to place my expectations on my only family."

"Even so, Natsume-kun, are you still unwilling?"

Natsume lowered his head in a daze, he pursed his mouth, and tried very hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart, but the tears still couldn't be held back, and flowed down unsatisfactorily.

Why can't he grow up as soon as possible.

I really want to be an adult quickly, and then let Mr. Saikawa see me in my most dazzling form.

Tick, tick, tick.

Tears dripped on the back of his hand, and Natsume said each word, "Thank you, Mr. Saikawa."

"I go."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Saikawa reached out to wrap Natsume in his arms, let him lean on his body, and stroked his head comfortingly.

"Good boy."
