[Natsume] When the sun shines

"Did Mu Mu have something happy? She has been smiling since she came back from the trip."

Hayakawa was wiping the table with a rag in his hand, while I was sweeping with a broom and laughing.

"What a silly laugh." Xiao Hei whispered around my ankle.

I was in a good mood, so I made an exception and didn't throw it away, "Well, I won the lottery, 30, and I don't have to worry about food and drink in this life."

"Hehe." Hayakawa couldn't help laughing, "Winning the lottery is probably not the way to laugh. It seems to be happier than winning the lottery... Is it related to the bouquet of flowers? Or the tobacco."

Hayakawa thought about it carefully, and then his smile became warmer, "Mu Mu couldn't bear to throw away the bunch I saw last time."

"...Where, how can there be?"

What Hayakawa said suddenly reminded me of that boy with a gentle smile, and his face became extremely hot in an instant. I turned my back, swept the floor a few times in a hurry, and then put the broom aside, "I'm going to read a book." .”

——The feeling of being told what is on your mind.

I pushed open the door upstairs, and warm sunlight came in from the window. The Chlorophytum on the window sill stretched out its beautiful and elegant branches and leaves, exuding a gentle brilliance in the sun. It was barely dry, obviously someone had watered it not long ago.

I pursed my lips, feeling a warm feeling in my heart.

While leaving, Natsume and I met Goo-goo.

When I confessed to Natsume, according to Xiao Hei, Googoo was watching from the side - I can no longer see it, but it can still see me.

Xiao Hei told me that later, that ugly female ghost turned into a very beautiful ghost when she saw that I got what I wanted.

"It's the same as the woman in the newspaper you read."

These are Xiao Hei's original words, "Then it disappeared."

After hearing this sentence, I don't know what it feels like in my heart.

I remember a ghost told me that a fallen ghost would look ugly, but once the mind is liberated, it will return to its original and most beautiful state, and then... go to heaven.

I asked Xiao Hei to pass that scene to me with the dragon spell. Under the hazy phantom, the black monster looked at a certain direction. Maybe the phantom was too hazy, so I couldn’t see its appearance clearly, but I Can vaguely feel its emotion...

Relief, relief, and... tenderness.

The dark form slowly faded away like a dream, and the woman in the red dress stood there gracefully, her eyes were light in color, with a light, gentle light, I saw that she seemed to say something What, it looks like he is talking to himself, but I can't hear it.

Maybe this will be the eternal regret in my heart.

I saw the woman in red smiling in one direction, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, her fierce temperament had long been weakened, and finally her body slowly turned into a beautiful light spot, slowly disappearing from my eyes——

Like the most beautiful dream in my life.

Vaguely, I seem to hear a woman's vague voice, not as ugly and hoarse as a monster, but a very clear and hearty voice.

"In this way... it can be regarded as a relief."

That crisp feeling, even though it was very vague, penetrated into my heart, as if it was really, talking to me.

I watched her gradually turn into the same beautiful light spot as when the bubble burst from my eyes, but I didn't know how it felt in my heart.

In this way, is it liberated?

When I came back to my senses, the drops of water on the leaves of the Chlorophytum were gone, and the flower tobacco that Natsume gave me was properly placed on the side of the bed. I thought about buying a beautiful glass vase to store it, but...

Silently glanced at Xiao Hei, who was sleeping late, wrapped around my ankle, and I gave up this idea.No matter how beautiful the vase is... just in case the little black tail twitches...

The vase is nothing, I only have that beautiful and clean bouquet of flowers in my eyes.

I stretched out my hand, touched the soft pentagonal petals, and couldn't help but began to smile. Thinking of the gentle appearance of that young man, my heart began to pound.

Even if I get what I want, I still have a sense of unreal dreaminess.

Having said that... Really, I have an unparalleled feeling of happiness.

And Hayakawa--

I thought of yesterday, when I just came home, I saw that woman sitting on the wooden threshold, holding a thin red rope in her hand, wearing small cotton mop, staring blankly at the spider plants that had just been watered, Inexplicably a little distressed.

"Ah, you are back, why is it so early, didn't you say you will play for a few days?"

The voice of Hayakawa Liu is still so gentle, with a lingering feeling of flowing water.I looked at the red rope in her hand, but couldn't help warming my heart.

That was the red rope to ward off evil spirits that I begged from the temple before.

Seeing me looking at the rope, she hid the rope behind her back in embarrassment, "Well... hurry back, are you hungry?"

"You didn't go to work?" I asked.

"No... I'm going." When Hayakawa spoke, his eyes were a little evasive, like a child.

I stared at her without speaking.

"..." After a long while, she seemed to be defeated, and said dejectedly, "Isn't it because you forgot to bring the key... How can I let you wait outside to open the door when I come back."

The feeling at that time was really warm to the heart.

"I can go find you."

Sometimes, I don't understand why some people's concern always seems so clumsy.

But later, I understood.

Once a person has the emotion of love, even the most intelligent brain in the world will shut down for a few seconds.

"Oh, yes." Hayakawa seemed to have suddenly realized, and then smiled, "However, since the person is back, of course we have to make a big meal... Are you obedient and take your medicine?"

"..."

There was a cold sweat on my forehead.

Just looking at Natsume's beautiful side face... unexpectedly, he forgot to take his medicine.

"..." Hayakawa knew the outline of the matter when he saw my expression, and sighed, "I'll boil water for you."

When I came back to my senses, I looked at the bottle of medicine on the table and couldn't help laughing.

This is what Jun Kitano has blessed me with, so be happy.

I opened the drawer and looked at the things inside—the poetry collection of Duoguitou, the straw rabbit that Natsume gave me... It seemed that there were a lot of things at once.

Hayakawa’s pocket watch was finally placed here with me, I thought about it, and took it out of the drawer——I am a person who likes to listen to stories, so I want to know that Hayakawa is willing to give me happiness stories that happened to people.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the living room was cleaned up, and the broom that I casually put aside had returned to its place. Good sweet bread and yoghurt.

I came to the kitchen.Hayakawa was wearing an apron and was frying cabbage. When she saw me coming in, she might be too busy, so she hurriedly said, "Go outside and wait, it's a bit greasy here. If you're hungry, eat the bread on the table first."

"……Um."

I took a look, and I really didn't seem to be able to help much, so I went out obediently.

After a while, she brought up the prepared dishes, with fine sweat on her forehead, watching me obediently sitting on the chair waiting for her, she seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit strange, she asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Mu Mu? ?”

I took out my pocket watch and showed her, "...that story, I want to hear it."

Hearing this, Hayakawa laughed, "Oh, so this is the matter, I'll tell you about it later when I bring out the porridge."

She brought the fragrant corn porridge to the table and placed it in front of me. She looked at the pocket watch in my hand, her amber eyes narrowed slightly, with a little nostalgia, "That's really a lot. It happened years ago."

I carefully put the watch on the table, and the table was replaced with a blue floral tablecloth, which looked very nice.

"I was only a teenager at that time." Hayakawa stirred the millet porridge with a spoon, with a gentle smile on his lips, "I just left the orphanage, and now I have the ability to support myself... I rented a small apartment, Then, I met a stray dog."

Seemingly thinking of something interesting, she smiled, "That stray dog ​​has a watch around its neck, and it's the one in your hand."

Stray dogs still wear watches?

Sure enough, the high-end atmosphere is high-grade, and I don't have it.

"When I met it...it seemed very hungry. I fed it something, and it stayed." The woman's expression became softer, as if she was missing something very beautiful. I just worked, and I am very tired every day when I go home, it will help me pick up my slippers and open the door for me, even when I come back late, it will sit obediently at the door and wait for me to come home."

This is... the real thing, loyal dog?

"At first... I thought I would go on in such a safe and steady way." Hayakawa sighed slightly, "I finally found a job that is easier and has a higher salary. I thought I could accompany it well, who knows , it's gone."

"Gone?"

"Well, very suddenly, just after I found a new job, it disappeared, and when I first met it, the watch hanging around its neck was placed on my desk."

Hayakawa shook his head, "It feels like a dream, I really want to know how it put this watch on my desk and then left..."

Finally, she lowered her head, with a trace of nostalgia and nostalgia on her gentle face, "If it's possible... I really want to see it again."

I can understand this feeling.

Just like I miss Moonless sometimes.Those who accompany me through the most difficult years are always worth remembering for a lifetime.

"That must be a monster."

Xiao Hei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth. If one ignores the residue of sweet bread next to its mouth, it does have a very serious expression on its face.

I stared blankly at its... mouth.

Xiao Hei looked at me with that snake face, the most naked accusation in his golden eyes: "Where are the promised cookies!"

"..."

I picked up the spoon without squinting, "The porridge cooked today is delicious."

"Ah, is that so? Well, let's burn this tomorrow too... Wait, Mumu, you haven't drunk it yet..."

I took a sip of the porridge.

After a long while, I raised my head and said without changing my face, "Actually, I think the bone soup you made when I came back yesterday is delicious."

The author has something to say: Silently count the number of days until school starts or ends... Children, tell me about the characters you want to see, I will write it =3=
