[Natsume's Book of Friends] Eyes

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Boys and girls from all grades surrounded the playground, shouting "Come on" so loudly that they seemed to be shaking slightly.

The students who stood in good positions on the runway waved to the cheering team at the same time, with a confident look.

Aoki Cicada sat on her seat, looking at Takahashi and Sasayo who were lying on the railing very excitedly from time to time.Think about how active the school is only during the sports meeting, except for the annual cultural festival.

"Ah~ha~" Aoki Chan yawned, moved her body a bit and couldn't help but look at the class next to her, looking over the smiling faces.Sure enough, Natsume was not seen.

Thinking of this, she walked slowly behind the two people who were talking and stopped.

"Hey, I always thought that Nakamura-kun from class C would lose. I should have joined in the bet with his class just now." Sasaise Jun straightened the strands of hair floating in front of his forehead, and sighed regretfully.

Takahashi laughed a few times, "That bastard Nakamura was just boasting so much, it's a good thing I bet he would lose!"

"Wow, you didn't call me!"

"Who told you that you have a lot of things to do, squad leader." Takahashi saw Sasa Sejun's disgusted face after speaking, and frowned pretending to be unhappy: "What is your expression?"

"It's nothing." Sasa Shichun turned his face and just saw Aoki Chan standing behind him, he was startled, "Aoki, why are you standing behind? It will scare me."

"Hey, I'm sorry." Aoki Chan replied with a smile.Takahashi scratched his chin at this moment and added, "You don't seem to want to see it, Aoki."

"No, don't you see how interested I am? Or are you blind?" Aoki Chan glanced at him.

"No way, Sasayo, don't you think so?"

Sasa Sejun shook his head, looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "I don't know, Aoki, since you have nothing to do, can you do me a favor, I will check the number of people later."

Aoki Chan was puzzled, and stretched out her hands to straighten the creases of the skirt, it's not cold at all today. "Your class will also be short of people? Who... ah... is Natsume?" Suddenly, someone who hadn't seen it before reacted.

"Yeah, but he just didn't come in the classroom. When I came out, I was lying on the table and sleeping, as if I stayed up all night. But anyway, he will definitely get it in 15 minutes." Sasa Sechun sipped in embarrassment He pursed his lips, raised his eyes to see the fierce competition below, and continued, "But if the time is right, we can see the winner of the relay race!"

"Yes, yes, Aoki, don't you really like that Mizushima?" Takahashi chimed in with a smile.

"What, who is Mizushima!" Aoki Chan didn't know why she had the urge to beat him up, "But why don't you go by yourself." Although I wanted to see Natsume a little bit, but there was still such a long way, I didn't want to go.

Seeing Aoki-Chan's expression, Sasa Sejun could roughly know what she was thinking. "I support Mizushima. You have to watch it. Didn't Takahashi say you don't really want to see it? Then please do me this favor."

...

By the way, Sasayo doesn't even know who Mizushima is, does he?

Aoki Cicada climbed the stairs slowly, looked over from the window, happened to see Mizushima's ferocious face, couldn't help touching his arm, as if goosebumps arose.

She simply stood at the stairs with her arms folded and squinted her eyes for a while.

"Aoki?! Aoki Aoki!" Until a white and tender hand appeared in front of his eyes and kept shaking.

Xiao Sanae was going back to the classroom to pick up things, but she didn't expect to see Aoki Chan, and called her several times in surprise.

"I didn't sleep." Aoki Chan didn't want to open her eyes at first, but she really couldn't ignore it, so she reached out and patted Sanae's hand lightly.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts." Xiao Sanae jumped on the spot with her arms folded, looking very hurt.

Aoki Chan frowned and observed her hand carefully, hit it once, then raised her eyes and asked: "Does it hurt?"

"...a little bit." Xiao Sanae raised the corners of her mouth, "Hey, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find someone." After Aoki Chan finished speaking, she noticed that Sanae was actually carrying her schoolbag, and she looked like she was about to leave. Isn't it just the second period of class? "What's the matter, leaving so early?"

"Ah, that's right!" Xiao Sanae thumped her head violently, and when Aoki was about to ask her if her head hurts, she said first: "I'm going to pick up my damn brother. I almost forgot. Fortunately, you reminded me otherwise. If you are late for the meeting, you will be sued again."

Aoki Cicada hesitated for a moment, in her imagination her younger brother should be that kind of soft, white and tender creature that would sweetly call out to her sister to hug her face, why does Sanae look distressed? "It's nice to have a younger brother, if it weren't for something, I really want to go with you!" It must be very comfortable to hug... (ˉ﹃ˉ)

"Okay, I remember. Anyway, I have this task every day." Xiao Sanae patted her on the shoulder and ran down the stairs happily. It would be nice to have someone to accompany her to be played by the little devil.

Qingmu Chan turned her head to see her off before continuing to go upstairs, what was she going to do?Aoki Chan usually doesn't take the trouble to remember things that she has forgotten, so she just shook her head and took out her phone to take a look. "Well... ten past eleven, it's already ten past eleven..."

God? ! !Ten past eleven?

Aoki Cicada kept her foot in the air and was about to step on the stairs, and suddenly realized that she was going to take Natsume to the playground in 15 minutes or something, that is, at 5:[-], and it was only [-] minutes away!

For Natsume, today is no different from usual, but the weather is unexpectedly warm and there are more joyful and noisy sounds outside.

He was still lying on the table, with his eyes closed and no more movements.In addition to being scolded by the cat teacher, I exhausted my spiritual power last night to return the name, and I was so tired that I slept in the classroom all morning.

Even without opening his eyes, he could feel the light and temperature from the sun falling evenly on his body, even though he was no longer sleepy, Natsume couldn't bear to get up.

So after Aoki Chan quickly opened the door, what he saw was the young man's face bathed in sunshine and tree shadows with a serene smile on his mouth.

Suddenly he didn't want to bother.

Pausing at the door for a while, Aoki Chan walked lightly to Natsume's desk, sighed cautiously, wondering whether to follow his own selfishness and not call him, or wake him uprightly?He didn't notice that his brown eyes had opened, and he was looking at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Seeing that there were only 3 minutes left, he gritted his teeth, forgetting about the beautiful boy who fell asleep!Aoki Chan pushed down the table anxiously, raised her eyes and was about to open her mouth to shout, but she suddenly closed her mouth because she met Xia Mu's eyes, and was stunned.

Natsume noticed her gaze and saw the girl leaning on the desk behind her with a dull expression. The skirt of the uniform she was wearing was blown up by the wind, and she accidentally glanced at it... .

"That, that...Aoki, you...skirt!" Natsume got up from the chair and almost knocked over the desk behind him, with a flushed face, he turned his head and said in a daze .

Aoki Chan looked at his movements suspiciously, skirt?What skirt?ah!Could it be that today's skirt is worn backwards?I looked down hastily only to find that the skirt was blown up, no wonder my legs were cold.wrong!Is it gone?Pressing the skirt with both hands, Aoki Chan stared at Natsume with an expression that nothing had happened.

Natsume was uncomfortable being watched by her, and looked out of the window. "Ah, what's the matter with you, Aoki?"

"Forget it, we don't have time." Aoki Chan waved his hands, pulled a chair away and sat down.

"Yeah." Natsume didn't ask what was the matter, and sat down again. He had something he wanted to ask before, and now it's time to ask. "Well, Aoki, why aren't you afraid of... monsters?"

monster?Aoki Chan didn't expect him to ask this question, she put her hands on her knees to support her face, and said casually: "I'm afraid, but the cactus and your cat are not scary at all, and this kind of thing that didn't exist suddenly touched the feeling It's also very good!"

"No." Natsume replied firmly as soon as she finished speaking, with a serious look on her delicate face.He noticed a long time ago that although Aoki had a very normal reaction when he first met a cactus monster [let’s call it a monster], he quickly recovered and didn’t care much, but how can ordinary people react when they encounter monsters? I accepted it so easily, and there is no barrier between meeting Teacher Cat and hearing him talking.

This kind of reaction can only be said that Aoki should have come into contact with, or seen... a monster before.

"Have you seen monsters before? That's why you can accept them so quickly who are not accepted by humans. Aoki?"

Aoki Chan was silent for a while, slowly clenched her fingers, her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she was thinking about something.After a while, her voice sounded in the empty classroom.

"I... I saw it once when I was young, and I knew that my friend who was close to me has always been in contact with these things that I can't see. Because of that only time, she transferred to another school , and I, too, never saw her again,"

"Midori, do you like this?"

"Well, I like it very much. No one gave me anything from my previous school. They all hated me. Thank you, Cicada."

She still remembers the smile on her immature face.

until-----

"Cicada, didn't you always want to visit my house?" When school was over, the school gate was full of people, Midori was carrying a schoolbag, and her long ponytails moved as she spoke.

Qingmu Chan was still very short at that time, and she stopped suddenly when she tiptoed to pull the flowers on the tree, turned around excitedly, and ran to the little girl smiling at her with short legs.

"really?"

"Ah."

"Lvzi, what is this? Your potted plants are so beautiful."

"That's not it, don't touch it!"

"Ah!" The curious girl fell to the ground, "Yes, it's a monster!"

"Since you know, go to hell!"

Natsume frowned after listening, "She wants to kill you?"

"No, the last sentence is a lie to you." Aoki Chan stretched her waist and stood up, "I don't want to talk about it later, anyway, I am not afraid of monsters now, so I want to apologize to her. Unfortunately, I can't find her."

"Hey, let's go downstairs, it's been a long time late."
