Is it easy for me to pretend to be a dark pill?

The name Natsume Takashi always feels like Mizuno Yuko has heard or seen it somewhere, but she knows that as long as she can't recall things, they are basically unimportant things, so she doesn't pay much attention to them: "Then Senior Natsuki, please take care of me this week."

"Ah, me too."

The young man with flaxen hair had a very comforting smile, and the warm healing feeling made Mizuno Yuko inevitably smile: "Did you go there by car?"

"Well, it's a bit far away, but the scenery on the road is very good, Miss Mizuno can be more..."

Before Natsume finished speaking, the moment he helped them open the car door, the two looked at the three-colored cat lying on the back seat of the van and yawning with a knife, and Qiqi fell into silence.

"This is, a cat?"

"Ah sorry!"

Subconsciously closing the door as if taken aback, Natsume Takashi reopened the car door with some embarrassment, grabbed the Sanhua cat by the back of the neck and held it in his arms very skillfully: "I don't even know that my cat is with you. coming."

"It's okay, I like cats very much."

After staring at the three-coloured cat for a few times, Mizuno Yuko showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw that it seemed to be squinting its eyes and pretending to be asleep: "What's his name?"

"Well, my family calls him Nyotaro, but I'm used to calling him 'teacher'."

Natsume Takashi's face seemed to turn red when he said this, Yuko Mizuno didn't care, but was a little surprised: "'Teacher'? This is really... a very special name."

"cough."

"It seems that senior Natsuki really likes cats."

He didn't ask if he could pet the cat teacher. After getting into the car, watching Natsume carefully put the cat teacher on the passenger seat, Yuko Mizuno pulled the seat belt for herself and continued: "You also You don't need to keep calling me Mizuno-san, just Yuko."

"Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter. After all, senior, you are my mother's student. The name Yuko may be better for you to distinguish. Besides, this trip is my waywardness. I am very sorry to cause you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's boring to be alone on the mountain."

He didn't ask about the relationship between Ichishin and Mizuno Yuko. Although Takashi Natsume felt that this Mr. Yiqi seemed to have a lot of fierceness, he was very gentle in person, not like an existence with anti-social tendencies .

Watching the van gradually lead from the city to the mountains, Mizuno Yuko looked at the scenery for a while and listened to Natsume’s radio, as if she finally found a topic: "Natsume senior, mother said that you are studying folk customs in the mountains during this time, Are there any special folk customs in the mountains?"

"Indeed, a lot of them survived, and Miss Yuko's timing is just right, as it's in time for the annual Arakawa Festival at a nearby shrine."

Arakawa, Matsuri.

In the first issue, he keenly saw Mizuno Yuko's hands on her knees clenched by two points. After seeing Yuko's still calm face, he turned his eyes away and cast his gaze on the co-pilot. On the three-coloured cat pretending to be asleep on the seat.

"What's so special about the Arakawa Festival?"

"Maybe there is no such festival in other places. The Arakawa Festival in this area has always been a particularly grand festival. At least I have been here since a week ago, and I have already started to prepare for the Arakawa Festival here, and I have also gone to help. .”

Looking at the scenery on the mountain road, Natsume Takashi skillfully turned the steering wheel to adjust the direction of the mountain road to prevent Mizuno Yuko from feeling motion sickness: "The source of the Arakawa is said to be a stream flowing down from Mt. It is divided into two tributaries, northward and eastward. Generally speaking, the main water source of Arakawa that we come into contact with is all the way to Tokyo, merges into the Sumida River and then enters the sea. However, if it is traced back to the source, as long as it is a stream and water source in the mountains of Chichibu, it can almost be said to be Origin of Arakawa."

"Well, I know that."

"That's right, the mountain people have lived on water for generations, and there were many legends of monsters, so it has been passed down from as far back as the Heian period. 'In order to thank the Lord of Arakawa for calming the water flow and controlling monsters from attacking humans, the mountain The story of a festival that started spontaneously by the villagers. Year after year, the Arakawa Festival still exists to this day."

"Such a long time has changed, does it still exist?"

Staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, Yuko Mizuno revealed a smile.Natsume, who occasionally watched her expression from the rearview mirror, saw her smile, and his eyes softened a bit: "Speaking of which, Miss Yuko came here to go mountain climbing?"

"Half and half, but it's true, I really want to participate in the Arakawa Festival."

Relaxing the strength in her hands, Mizuno Yuko smiled but didn't say much. While listening to Natsume Takashi chatting about various folk customs he knew, she still stared at the scenery outside the car window, slightly dazed.

Perhaps it is indeed the vicissitudes of life, she has not been here for a long time, and she has forgotten something—after all, when she came here alone, she was already very old, and her memory was a little blurred when she was so old.

"Master... You Zidian?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Yiqi Yizhen's call, Yuko turned her head and looked at his slightly worried expression, smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.Just at this time, the three-flowered cat in the co-pilot's seat finally woke up. After stretching himself, he fell down again and let out a meowing sound.

"What's the matter, Mr. Cat?"

"Has Natsume arrived yet?"

Natsume who was driving took a moment to glance at the bored Mr. Cat, and when he sighed inwardly that he couldn't speak more, he heard the voice of the girl sitting behind: "Sure enough."

"Huh? Yuko-san, what's the truth?"

When Mr. Cat heard this sigh, he immediately jumped up and blew his hair, and at the same time he knew that he seemed to be exposed.

Thank you, the seat of the van is quite big, and I am quite fat, at least I can't tell it's fried hair at once.

"Sure enough... the scenery is beautiful."

Mizuno Yuko turned her head from the car window, looked at Natsume's eyes reflected in the rearview mirror, and the smile on her face was very sincere: "The scenery in the mountains is really beautiful, no wonder Natsume-senior you will Look for all kinds of ancient folklore here."

I won't be lucky anymore, I believe in your Yuko's evil!

Teacher Cat tried to move to the side to prevent the two people behind from seeing him, but Natsume was a little confused, and after confirming the remaining distance of the navigation, he changed the subject: "We'll be there in about 15 minutes. Is there anything you want to know?"

"Hmm, where is the Arakawa Festival held?"

"It's nearby..."

Suddenly there seemed to be a little more smile, and Natsume didn't show off, and said happily: "In the nearby Yunfeng Temple."

"..."

"..."

Don't lie to me, I don't read much. In a temple, there is a festival for local monsters. What if the agreed ways don't agree with each other?You monks are so broad-minded, don’t you?

Sensing the indescribable expressions of the two people in the back seat, Natsume finally laughed out loud: "I know what you guys think, but it is true that the ceremony for Lord Arakawa was held in Yunfeng Temple. As for the reason, The Arakawa Festival is held in a different place every year, and this year it happens to be Yunfeng Temple's turn to host it."

Having said that, this temple is really not to be underestimated for being able to host a festival for monsters so generously.

Seeing the sign of "Takahara-so to the right" in front of her eyes, when Natsume turned the car into the intersection, Mizuno Yuko looked at the wisteria completely surrounding the courtyard, and suddenly fell silent.

Although it's not the season for wisterias to bloom, I always feel like I'm going to meet something amazing here...

"Oh, sure enough, it's here."

Standing at the door, Miyashiki Haoya watched the van enter the door with a smile on his lips. The daughter of the owner of Gao Yuan Zhuang blushed and poured him a cup of tea at the same time: "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Although I am indeed waiting for someone, it's a pity that she doesn't welcome me at all."

He said the truth that couldn't be more appropriate, but the little girl felt a little bit aggrieved by him because of the sadness revealed by Haruya Miyashiki.When the van stopped, Yuko Mizuno got out of the car and stared at Takashi Natsume's cat, and saw a familiar figure smiling at the moment she entered the door, and almost turned around and left with a quick shake.

"You don't need to have such an attitude, Yuko, why don't you want to see me that much?"

"Whether I want to see you or not, don't you know best?"

Glancing at Yashiki Haozai in distaste, Mizuno Yuko motioned for Yiqi Yixing to take out the identity certificate that Shizheng helped him with, and then handed over her own ID card for registration: "Let me go, let you go too Own."

"But it's interesting, especially when I know you're not going to tell them what I did."

Hearing the leisurely voice of Miyayashiki Haoya, the young man holding the cat raised his golden snake-like pupils to look at him, then lowered them again, seriously thinking about how to call the police.

"This sentence makes people think that you are really a criminal, Mr. Ubayashiki, and you are the most dangerous kind."

Seeing Yuko Mizuno didn't seem to care, she glanced at him after Yizheng signed and said, "Although this is not something I can participate in, Mr. Ubuyashiki, Yukoden has no interest in you."

"No, I'm actually quite interested."

Mizuno Yuko looked at the three men with great interest, and blinked at the shopkeeper's little girl standing beside him who was at a loss: "I'm very interested in beating him up. Don't worry, we are all Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Seeing that the little girl finally showed a smile, Mizuno Yuko also raised the corners of her mouth, reached out to carry her luggage and nodded to Natsume first: "Then Natsume-senior, I'll go to get some rest first, see you at dinner."

"it is good."

Takashi Natsume hugged his cat and nodded slightly, feeling the sight of Koya Miyayashiki who was sitting and drinking tea betting on him, pretending not to notice, rubbed Mr. Kitty's chin, then went back to his room and slammed the door behind him.

"Mr. Cat, who is that person?"

"..."

When Sanhuamao returned to the room, she lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. Even if she was tempted by fishes, she would not open her mouth.

"teacher!"

"Oh, it's okay, the two of them may care more about each other than you."

"Eh?"

"Natsume, you don't think Yuko is really a little girl, do you?"

As if thinking of something, Mr. Cat raised his head and rolled on the ground again, the whole cat revealed a kind of gloating: "That guy looks very young, but he is actually more than a hundred years old Granny."

More than a hundred years old, old lady?

Looking at the cat teacher who was rolling around in a daze, Natsume Takashi finally sighed, sat at the low table and opened his notebook to continue writing the paper he needed to hand in in October.Looking at the handwriting displayed on the computer screen and feeling that Teacher Mao was trying to get into his arms, he finally raised his hand and let the other party sleep in his arms.

"Why do you say Miss Yuko is an old lady over a hundred years old? This is very rude to a high school student."

"Natsume, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but Yuko was 92 years old last time... Oh, now, that's 110!"

The cat teacher shook his tail and didn't continue talking. Mizuno Yuko in another room sneezed, opened the door of Honmaru and was about to go back to check the situation of Honmaru, but heard a scream from under his feet.

Looking down, Yuko Mizuno saw a crane in a wide blouse lying on the ground with its buttocks pouted and a paint tray next to it, solemnly drawing 3D cracks on the floor.

My own foot just stepped on the place where the paint he had just finished painting was not yet dry.

"..."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, are you good at playing?

The author has something to say:

Tsurumaru Kuninaga learns painting, from entry to lifelike [hello]

Let’s take a look at Jiyou’s Tantian Honmaru. Seriously, this is the most earnest Honmaru I’ve ever seen. [Hello]

"God Judge Farming Should Get Started"

On his first day in office, Yamabukiri Choyoshi, who is in charge of a special mission,

I began to wonder if I was in the wrong place:

Mikazuki, the gatekeeper who sits at the gate of Honmaru and collects tickets while drinking tea

Hasebe who was stopped for copying license plates because of excessive speed

Tsurumaru Kuninaga of Sanjo Street was chased and killed by ferocious geese in disgrace

And Mitsutada Kiri Mitsutada, the guide who carries the guide with him

Full of doubts, Yamabukiri Nagayoshi took a step back and took another look at the Honmaru house number with a blank expression on his face.

As a result, I saw a line of big characters shining golden in the sun——

Taoyuan Township's first advanced Honmaru welcomes you
