[Comprehensive] The gap in history

The morning sun shines on the earth, and the mountains and forests begin to wake up.

The clear stream glistens in the sun, a splash of water splashes, and a fish draws a graceful arc from the water and lands on the bank, flutters twice and then falls silent.

The little fox raised a smile, and looked expectantly at the little fox pill on the shore: "How about it, am I good? Now I can support myself!"

Okita lit a bonfire on the shore, washed the fish and skewered it with branches and gave it to Xiaohuwan to cook. Although Xiaohuwan was not good at cooking, it was still much better than Okita who was a mess in cooking.

Xiaohuwan stroked the little fox's furry head and praised: "That's right, I will definitely become a great fox in the future."

The little fox couldn't help wagging its tail and squinting its eyes happily.

The burnt aroma of the grilled fish began to permeate the surroundings, and the little fox looked at the little fox balls that kept turning the branches admiringly: "It's amazing! The aroma is slowly coming out, it's almost like human food."

The little fox longed for human beings, and he watched the action of the little fox ball grilling fish intently.

Could one day, he also be able to accompany Natsume and grill fish for him?

Okita-sama is a human, and Kohomaru-sama is a monster. Humans and monsters can live together, right?

"Come, have a taste." Little Fox Ball handed the grilled fish to the little fox, seeing the little fox frantically taking the grilled fish, a smile flashed across his eyes.

A few floating clouds floated high in the sky, some of which turned into foxes.Okita looked at the blue sky, felt the gentle breeze, and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

Maybe Foxnosuke finally didn't lie to him this time, this place is really a place where people can relax.

After breakfast, the little fox wiped his greasy mouth indiscriminately, and looked at Kohomaru and Okita expectantly: "I'll take you to wait for Natsume! By the way, Natsume is also a human being. He is the same as Okita-sama. A very gentle man, no matter what, I want you to meet him."

The little fox led Okita and Xiaohumaru bounced through the forest, and came to the big rock where the train could be seen in the distance, just like every day in the past, looking into the distance.

Saishen emerged from the stone: "Little fox, you are here again. I have already said, don't have anything to do with humans. The time of monsters is completely different from that of humans. If you bind them forcibly Together, you will only be hurt by yourself."

If it was yesterday, Little Fox might not be able to argue, but the arrival of Okita and Kokomaru gave him more courage: "But, Okita-sama is also a human being, isn't Kohomaru-sama always by Okita-sama's side?"

Sai Shen with white eyebrows, white beard and white hair raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Okita and Kohomaru who were standing behind: "So it's Fusangshen, as the lowest existence among the 800 million gods, it's not easy to be regarded as a monster." No problem at all."

Xiaohumaru smiled, and didn't mind Saishen's words.Whether it's a god or a monster, as long as he always remembers that he is the master's sword, that's enough.

When Saishen's eyes fell on Okita, he showed some doubts: "Human, your aura is very strange. Although no matter from which angle you look at it, you are a human being, except for your excessive spiritual power. However, you should not exist in this world. Your time has ended in the past."

"That's true. I should have died in the past, but for some reason I came back to life." Okita looked at Saishen with some surprise, this was the first person to see this.

"Although the old man shouldn't talk too much, the dead cannot be resurrected. This point, no matter what method is used, can't be changed." For "people".

God Sai has lived for too long. He has seen human beings trying to resurrect their relatives more than once, but without exception, all of them failed.

People who have long ceased to exist, even if they reappear in the world by chance, will return to nothingness one day.And this time will not be too long.

"Maybe, but I know that I'm still alive, that's enough." Okita is not a person who will be easily shaken by a few words from others, although he doesn't know what method the time government has used to make him in a few hundred Years later, he came back to life, but these are not important, what is important is that he is still standing here.

"Natsume! It's Natsume! Natsume finally came to see me!" The little fox who was sitting with his knees hugged suddenly stood up, and his tail began to shake non-stop, as if the air was full of joy.

In the distance is a stopped train, and bustling people are getting on and off the train. For some reason, Okita's eyes fell on a boy with light brown short hair. The temperament of that boy was very contradictory, cool and warm.Probably, this is the person the little fox called Natsume.

The little fox didn't care about Okita and Kohomaru behind him, jumped off the rock at once, and ran wildly with his short legs, as if seeing Natsume even a second earlier would be supreme happiness.

Okita looked at Kohomaru's uneasy expression, and secretly smiled in his heart, this is the first time he saw Kokomaru caring so much about someone.

"Let's go there too. I also want to see what kind of person Natsume is like."

This is the first time that Natsume has traveled with his relatives. The destination is Yan Yu's ceramic workshop, where there are friends of Uncle Zi.

It has been a year since I came to Yanyu last time, that little fox who is often bullied by other monsters, is he okay?This time, can we also meet each other?

Natsume looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, with anticipation hidden in his eyes.

"Natsume, what are you looking at?" Zi asked curiously as he looked at Natsume who stopped suddenly.

Natsume shook his head quickly: "No, nothing."

Ordinary humans cannot see youkai, so people who can see are often regarded as aliens. In order not to cause trouble to the Fujiwara couple who adopted him, he must not let others know that he can see youkai.

Madara squinted and lay in the travel bag, yawning lazily.

The two and the cat walked towards the ceramics factory together.

The little fox hid in the bushes, looking at Natsume who was greeting others at the gate of the ceramics factory, hesitating.

Very good!Natsume is no longer alone, the current Natsume must not be lonely, right?

If he is not lonely, it means that he is no longer needed, Natsume, has he forgotten that cowardly little fox?

"Aren't you going?" Okita seemed to have noticed the little fox's hesitation, and asked softly.

"Hey!!" The little fox, who was immersed in his own world, was startled by Okita's sudden inquiry. The little fox took a step back to the side, trying to distance himself from Okita, but who knew the "snap" He stepped on a branch with a bang, then slipped his foot, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Natsume who keenly heard something behind him turned his head suddenly, and then saw Okita and Kohomaru hidden in the bushes.

Natsume's expression changed.

One is a guy with white hair and fox ears wearing armor, and the other is a guy wearing a light-colored haori with a knife and a ponytail. Although he looks human, he is still a monster, right?After all, how could there be a human standing there dressed like this?

If it is a monster, then what is the purpose of spying on them?

But now Mr. Cat is injured and it is inconvenient to move around.

No, even with my own strength, I absolutely cannot let them hurt Uncle Zi!

What to do, what to do?

"Hey, are you here to visit the ceramics factory too?" Zi smiled and waved to Okita and Kohomaru.

Eh?

Eh! ! !

Are those two strangely dressed guys actually human? !

At this time, everyone is sitting together at a table inside the ceramic factory.

"You guys originally planned to camp in this area, but then accidentally lost your way, and you can't even find tents and other clothing... What a pity!" Zi stroked his chin, and then looked at the friends around him, "Why don't you let us temporarily They stayed here for a few nights, Guizhi seldom has friends of the same age, so it would be good to have Okita and Guizhi as companions."

Okita, whose actual age is in his thirties, smiled awkwardly, and learned the lesson of going to an amusement park for the first time. This time he came to this world and made preparations in advance, thinking of many reasons for his sudden appearance.However, these reasons are really too far-fetched. It is thanks to this deceptive face that he was not suspected!

The director of the ceramics factory waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind: "Of course, there are still many spare rooms here."

"Thank you for taking care of me!" Okita and Kohomaru leaned over to express their thanks.

Natsume, who was staying in the corner, approached Madara cautiously: "Mr. Kitty, are those two really human?"

"Stupid Natsume, that white-haired one is obviously Fusangshin, a kind of youkai produced from items that have gone through a long time, and most of them are very vicious existences." Madara nestled on the cushion and replied indifferently.

"What!" Natsume's voice couldn't help but rise.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by Natsume.

"Ah, no. I mean I'm happy to be with my peers." Natsume forced a smile on his face and quickly revealed the matter.

Zi pushed his glasses, with a gratified expression on his face: "Well, boys really want to be more lively. Guizhi, you can take the guests to the room together. There is a hot spring behind, so have fun."

"Yes, Uncle Zi."

Natsume hugged Madara and left with Okita and Kohomaru.

When he got to a place where there was no one, Natsume stopped in his tracks, showing a serious expression: "You are not human, are you?"

Xiaohuwan's hair trembled: "That pig demon told you? My hearing is pretty good."

"Who are you calling a pig demon! You lowly Fusangshen!" Madara waved her paw in Natsume's arms and wanted to scratch Xiaohumaru, but she seemed to be stimulated by something when she moved slightly, and she collapsed in a sluggish state. Natsume's arms—that was the wound shot by Ma Jingji before.

"Teacher!" Natsume hurriedly went to see Madara's wound, and was relieved when he found that it was not ruptured, "Really, teacher, don't move around when you are injured!"

While talking, Natsume gently touched Madara's head: "Be patient, teacher! I will find herbs to cure you soon."

"Hmph, this little injury will heal soon." Madara looked away a little arrogantly.

"How about letting me take a look at his wound?" Okita said suddenly, "My spiritual power can help Fusangshen's hands, and maybe it will also have an effect on monsters."

"Hand in? So it's the Fusangshin of the sword. The sword Fusangshin is also a powerful one among all the Fusangshin, very capable, human." Madara looked at Okita and said.

"Humans? Didn't the teacher say they were monsters?"

"Stupid Natsume, I only said that the white-haired one is Fusangshin. As for that human being, he is probably the master of Fusangshen." Madara said without feeling guilty.

Is Fu Sangshen's master also an existence like demon extermination?

Natsume's strength in holding Madara increased slightly. After getting in touch with Mr. Natori and that one Jingji, he knew that the attitude of most exorcists towards monsters was malicious.

The person in front of him could also see monsters.So, what is his attitude towards monsters?

Okita could see the young man's defense against him, probably because he was afraid that he would hurt the... civet cat in his hand?

Okita decided not to mention the matter of helping the wound, but changed the subject: "Your name is Natsume, right? Do you remember that there is a little fox here? He is waiting for you on the highest rock on the mountain every day. I and Xiaohuwan also came here with the little fox, but for some reason, she was looking forward to your arrival so much, but she just avoided seeing you."

Little fox, are you waiting for his arrival every day?Just like those monsters who waited for Grandma Reiko day after day and year after year.

Natsume raised his head and looked at the rocks in the distance, little fox, that's where he was waiting for him every day, right?

"Are you going to meddle in your own business again, Natsume?" Madara said a little annoyed.

"I can't help it, Mr. Cat. To be treated with such tenderness, you must return the same tenderness."

Therefore, whether it is human beings or monsters, they are all so warm.

To be cared for by Aunt Tazi and Uncle Zi, and looked forward to by monsters like Little Fox, he is really, so happy!

The author has something to say: I wonder if there is a little bit of gentleness in "Natsume's Book of Friends"?I hope that Natsume in my writing doesn't collapse.
