[Comprehensive] Natsume is mine!

Got a new family?

Looking at the adults negotiating, Natsume Takashi felt sad.He lost his mother since he was a child, and after his father died that year, he was adopted by relatives and moved from family to family.Although he is handsome, sensible, and able to share housework, when he was young, he couldn't distinguish the difference between monsters and humans, so he was regarded as a liar. When he was older, although he could distinguish humans from monsters, he was still entangled by monsters, so he often Will make some words and deeds that are very disturbing or creepy in the eyes of ordinary people.

In other words, even relatives who were more than happy to adopt him at first were almost intimidated by the end and sent him away like a hot potato.A few families who think that his nature is not bad will eventually have to give up their plans to adopt him for one reason or another.Therefore he does not stay long in any family.

The Maeda couple who are following up with the Fuji couple to negotiate are the former. The Maeda couple, who were originally empty under their knees, were actually very happy to adopt Natsume Takashi, but at present, it seems that the couple is really terrified.

At this moment, Natsume Takashi is not sure whether the Shinto family who is about to adopt him is the latter, he can only smile bitterly in his heart-maybe in two or three months, he still has to change.

When he was about to leave one family to go to another, Natsume Takashi felt more and more like a ball, being kicked around.

Natsume Takashi lowered his head when he saw the Maeda couple avoiding his sight again.

Again... huh?

After the car started, Shinto Tatsuya said to Natsume Takashi in the rear seat through the rearview mirror: "Natsume, you should still remember my daughter?"

"Uncle said it was Aoi?"

"Yes, my daughter Aoi-chan. Although I am happy that my daughter is capable. But Aoi-chan is too homey. I don't even have a friend. This is not enough. Natsume, I remember you are 15 years old, right?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Kui Jiang is only one year younger than you, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend! No, it's not a boyfriend, whether it's a male friend or a female friend, she doesn't have any! Every day when I come home from school, I either hand in the task or directly treat myself Shut up in the room to write and draw. By the way, Guizhi, you don’t know, Aoi sauce is an original artist, and occasionally does illustrations. It’s usually fine, but this summer, she hardly even comes out of the room! Busy with work and work every day! Although she can earn 30 a month during the summer vacation, I am also happy for her. But she is a girl and has no friends. What a thing! This child! So, I beg you Natsume, let's make friends with Aoi-chan."

In order to raise his daughter alone, Shinto Tatsu also broke his heart.Don't girls like beautiful clothes?But his daughter is not interested in any brand-name clothes or bags, she always dresses in a simple way.If it weren't for the etiquette of going out with makeup, she could even go without makeup-she wouldn't wear makeup when she was at home, just put on some foundation cream and liquid foundation and it would be done.

"Um~um."

Natsume Takashi didn't know how to answer.

Natsume Takashi is very clear.Although he couldn't work because of being chased by monsters and because of his age, Takashi Natsume knew all the relevant information.

In Japan, the average monthly income of young people who have just started working is 24 yen, but after deducting various insurance and taxes, the actual income is only about 17 yen.Shinto Aoi, a 14-year-old girl, can earn so much in one month of summer vacation, which is amazing.

In the words of these junior high school students, it is so cool.

In contrast, Natsume Takashi was very nervous.

You know, he is well-known among his relatives for his strangeness.And when he was young, he was a well-known liar among his relatives.Make friends with him?Isn't Uncle Shindo afraid that Aoi will be spoiled by him?

Shinto Akiko covered her mouth and said with a snicker, "Danna, Natsume looks really good. I'm sure you'll like Aoi-chan's face control."

"That's right. Aoi-sama...Natsume, don't mind."

"Ah, no. Uncle."

Hearing what Shinto and his wife said, Natsume felt a little relieved.

At least, at this moment, he is needed.

The Shindo family's house is a typical single-family two-story Japanese-style house.It looks no different from ordinary people.When the door opened, three pairs of shoes were neatly placed in front of him.

Shinto Akiko looked at it and said, "Ah! Danna, look! Aoi went downstairs today! It seems that Aoi-chan is also looking forward to Takashi's arrival."

"That's right. It looks like Aoi wants an older brother too."

Natsume Takashi smiled, but said nothing.

He moved around in relatives' homes, and he also came into contact with many children who were about his own age, many of whom were of the same age or not a few years younger than himself.But most of the children repulsed him very much, and many felt that he had robbed them of their parents and family.To be honest, along the way, he was calm on the surface, but he was really uneasy in his heart.

No matter what, entering a new family, especially a family with only one child, almost takes away half of the family's fatherly and motherly love.Every time Natsume Takashi heard that the family who adopted him had a child, he always felt uneasy and felt sorry for the child.

Before the door opened, Natsume Takashi was ready to be ostracized by the children of this family.

But, three pairs of shoes?

This means that the other party doesn't mind?Don't mind having him in the family who is about to part with the care of his parents?

And he, maybe there will be an extra sister?

one,

younger sister?

For some reason, Natsume Takashi suddenly felt a little hot in his heart.

Once, Natsume Takashi also fantasized about whether his mother would add a younger brother or sister to him if his parents were still there.Of course, if he had to choose one of his younger siblings, Natsume Takashi would choose his younger sister like most boys his age.

For a moment, Natsume Takashi's eyes flashed in front of Natsume Takashi's eyes, some of the sister-cons who were in the same class in the past, remembered that when they talked about their sisters, they were full of spirits. On the surface, they looked disgusted, but in fact they were showing off.

Even Natsume Takashi himself didn't know that the emotion in his heart at this moment was called anticipation.

With a feeling of anticipation and apprehension, Natsume Takashi followed the Shinto couple into the living room.Like many other houses, the kitchen, dining room and living room of Jinto’s house are connected together. The living room is on the right hand side of the entrance, the dining table is on the left hand side, and the kitchen is behind the dining table through the sliding door.

But at this moment, a girl who looks quite aloof is sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea. The girl has long black and glossy shawl hair, which is fixed with two small hairpins. It is very common with a short-sleeved T-shirt. The homely dress of denim shorts, simply put, is a very cute girl.When Natsume Takashi entered the room, the girl just put down her teacup and looked up at him.

If Natsume Takashi is familiar with Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", he will definitely remember that Shinto Aoi's small movements were already a common means in social situations in the [-]th century-everything is for good observation He seemed less obtrusive.

However, Natsume Takashi is familiar with "The Count of Monte Cristo", and he has no time to take care of it at the moment, because he finds that beside the girl, there is a person wearing a black hat, wearing a safari suit, and holding a bat fan. The young man who has come out of the times is looking up at him.Especially at the moment when the two people's eyes met, Natsume Takashi quickly looked away.

not good!

He quickly noticed the shadow on the wall and the reaction of the Shinto family.

no shadows!It's a ghost!

Uncle Shindo's family is haunted by ghosts!

Takashi Natsume quickly came to this conclusion.

Shinto Tatsu knew nothing about this, he smiled and introduced Natsume Takashi: "Takashi, this child is Aoi." Then he said to his daughter, "Okay, come and meet the guests, don't be so rude. "

Aoi stood up, only then did Natsume realize that the opponent was even taller than herself!

Many 15-year-old boys have not started to develop, and 14-year-old girls can already be called girls.Especially in Japan, although the law stipulates that the age of adulthood is 20, for women, as long as their parents agree, they can get married at the age of 16.That's right, girls can marry at the age of 16, which is legal. In real life, many women are already married and have children.Of course, the government has recently amended the relevant bills, 20 years old is still the age of adulthood, but marriage must be.Because many people find that 78-year-old women are physically developed, but they are not psychologically mature enough to take on the responsibility of mothers.

This is Japan.

Shinto Aoi, like most pure-blooded oriental girls, has subtle breasts, a slender figure, and a cute face with baby fat, red lips and white teeth, skin without a trace of blemish, white and moist, and big and bright eyes , just like a delicate ceramic doll.Put it in any school, it is the type that boys like.Such a girl should have been chased by someone long ago and her parents were worried about her daughter being cheated behind her back.

But the 14-year-old Shinto Kwai's house still doesn't even have a friend, so it's no wonder his parents are worried.

At this moment, what Natsume Takashi is most worried about is not Shinto Aoi's rejection and disapproval of her, but whether the male ghost next to Shinto Aoi, who looks like he came out of the Heian era, will hurt the Shinto family.

Natsume Takashi was a little out of his mind.

That's right.

Having dealt with monsters and ghosts for many years, Natsume Takashi already knew that ghosts would stay in the human world because of their deep obsessions, and ghosts with deep obsessions were stronger than most monsters, and they were also extraordinarily difficult to deal with.

Of course, they are also quite difficult to deal with.

Shinto Aoi said: "I know, this is Brother Natsume. The children of relatives always say that he is weird and a liar."

"Aoi sauce!" Shinto Akiko stopped quickly, and said to Natsume: "Natsume, don't worry. Aoi's mouth is more poisonous. If you are familiar with him, you will know that she has a good heart. By the way, Aoi, you bring Natsume, go upstairs to the room. You guys should get acquainted too."

Aoi stood up.

She didn't object.

There was not much fluctuation on Natsume Takashi's face - he has experienced this kind of battle many times.Compared with the troubles she experienced in the past, Shinto Aoi's reaction was not bad, just like an ordinary girl.What caught his attention was the young ghost following the girl.

At that moment, Natsume Takashi had already made a decision in his mind.

Even if he had to leave within a week after entering the Fuji's house, he would expel this guy.

Following Shinto Aoi, Natsume Takashi walked out of the living room and climbed the stairs.If it were another person, he would definitely notice Aoi's strong and slender legs.Especially when going up the stairs, no matter how polite a man is, he will inadvertently see her smooth ankles.

However, that was someone else, not Takashi Natsume.Natsume Takashi's attention was attracted by the figure in the blue hunting suit.Natsume knew very well how he should react to those inhuman beings staring at him, that is, it was best to put on a face, as if he didn't know, and don't let these inhuman beings find out that he had seen them.Then wait, wait for the opportunity to separate or expel them.

But now it's different.This ghost obviously followed Aoi, but I don't know why he followed Aoi.But for ordinary people, being entangled with this kind of thing will basically not do good things.

On the one hand, he has to try his best to conceal it, and on the other hand, he has to find a way to get rid of the ghosts. For a half-grown child of Natsume Takashi's age who has not received orthodox corresponding education and can only rely on his own powerful spiritual power to act, this difficulty is not ordinary. height of.

Shinto's house was not too big or too small, and when Takashi Natsume was still thinking about countermeasures, he heard Aoi say, "Here we are."

This room is located at the head of the stairs, and it is also the first room up the stairs. The room is not big, but there are windows on both sides and sky blue curtains, making it quite bright.On one side of the wall is a single bed, and next to the bed is a desk across the bedside table.About half a meter from the base of the bed, next to the door is the wardrobe.

If it was just this room, Natsume Takashi was quite satisfied.You know, he moved around in relatives' homes, and in many cases, he couldn't get his own room at all.From this point of view, the conditions of Jinto's family are superior to those of his relatives.

"What would you like to drink? Juice?"

He said: "Well, good, good. Thank you, thank you."

The ghost already puffed up his face and started poking his shoulders with his fingers.It seems that it is a good game for him, but for Natsume Takashi, it is not an interesting game.The only thing that comforted him was that Aoi just responded and turned and left.

She even closed the door!

As soon as Aoi left, the ghost turned to Natsume Takashi, stared at Natsume Takashi's eyes and said, "You, can you see me, Natsume?"

Takashi Natsume has been able to see ghosts almost since he was born.His experience in dealing with ghosts can be said to be very rich.When he was young, he used to cry many times because of this, but now, Natsume Takashi already knows that there are many ghosts, they are just lonely.

Takashi Natsume is 15 years old, he is not a child anymore.

Natsume Takashi said: "Then, who are you? Why are you pestering Aoi? What is your wish?"

Although he seldom deals with ghosts, Takashi Natsume still knows one thing.Ghosts are different from monsters. Ghosts haunt humans because they have unfulfilled wishes.Therefore, for most ghosts, as long as their wishes are fulfilled, they can become Buddhas.

"Oh? Do you want to grant my wish?"

Saori Fujiwara, who covered half of his face with a fan, looked like an old fox.Natsume Takashi, who just started getting in touch with him today, was successfully fooled.

"If I can do it. In exchange, you can no longer pester the people in this house."

Natsume Takashi's face is calm, and only those who are familiar with him can find perseverance from the calm.

In any case, no matter what the Shinto family's perception of him will become in the end, he will protect the Shinto family, for the goodwill of the Shinto couple towards him today.

"His name is Fujiwara Sakai, and he was a Go player who taught the emperor in the Heian era. His wish is very simple, that is, to keep playing chess. Unfortunately, as a ghost, he can't even pick up chess stones. So, if he wants to continue playing chess , you need the help of a psychic.”

Suddenly, the door opened without a sound.

Natsume Takashi was taken aback: "Aoi! How did you come in?!"

"The door is not locked."

"No, I mean..."

"Next door is my studio, where there is a small refrigerator."

For a job like an original painter, staying up late and turning day and night upside down is commonplace.Not to mention, the next summer vacation, Aoi has long been ready to stay at home for a summer.

"Wait a minute, you, can you see him? You..."

"Of course, this kind of talent comes from blood."

"Bloodline?"

Natsume Takashi suddenly felt that the amount of information today was a bit too much for him.

Holding the tray, Shinto Aoi entered the house and closed the door behind her.

She directly put the tray with a one-liter carton of grape juice and two glasses on the desk, then turned around and said to Natsume Takashi: "It seems that you don't know anything about Grandma Reiko I know."

"Reiko? Grandma?"

Aoi nodded, pulled away the chair, motioned Natsume to sit down on the bed, and then said: "I heard the rumors about you at a relative's house before, and wondered if you could see it too. Now it seems that you really inherited Granny Reiko's power."

"You say so? Aoi, can you see it too?"

Natsume Takashi suddenly felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It was the joy of meeting the same kind.

That is to find a sense of belonging of the same kind.

"Of course. Although I'm a half-baked person, I'm still a witch anyway. It's just that I can't compare to Granny Lingzi, who is very famous here."

"Grandma? Here?"

"Yes. The world in which ordinary people live, we call it the outer world, and the world composed of gods, monsters, ghosts and other non-human existences, we call it the inner world. Psychics, witches, priests, witches, witches, Although I am a son of man, I have two worlds. Of course, since I have two worlds at the same time, I must bear corresponding responsibilities. Since I am only a half-baked person, I can't give you much advice, but there is one thing , please remember. In the other world, it is very troublesome for someone to know the real name and date of birth."

"Real name and date of birth?"

"Yes. To be mastered of the real name is to be mastered of the soul, and to be mastered of the date of birth is to be mastered of fate. In short, it is very bad. If these two things are mastered by ghosts, it is very likely that they will be hidden by the gods forever. We can’t even go back to the world of watches. However, the student ID cards, health insurance cards and other documents we carry are clearly written with our date of birth.”

Natsume Takashi clearly showed a terrified expression.

"That, isn't that, it's dangerous?"

"Ah? Shocked? Don't worry. The date registered on our documents is the Gregorian calendar. The date of birth mentioned in the world is actually the zodiac, which is the birth date used by the ancient Tang people. The year, month and specific time of birth are required. And Most of the ghosts are very simple, and they don’t know how to calculate this at all. Except for a very small number of big monsters who have specialized training, there are only ghosts who have fallen from the human race.”

"That's good."

Natsume Takashi breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, for now, the most important thing is not to let the ghosts know my real name."

"Don't let the ghosts know your real name?"

"Yes, the only information on our certificates that will directly cause us trouble is our name printed on it. Of course, being mastered of our real name not only restricts us, but also for those ghosts. It’s the same. I remember Grandma Lingzi once did something similar. She had a duel with those demons, and if she won, she had to hand over her real name. In the end, Grandma Lingzi collected the names of countless demons and made herself the master of monsters. In short , Granny Reiko is very powerful."

"Yes, is that so?"

"Of course. The lord of demons and monsters who rule Yahara is the king of ghosts on a par with Tokyo's Nuragumi! Have you ever seen it? The book of friends left by Grandma Reiko."

"Ah~"

Only then did Takashi Natsume remember that he forgot his luggage because of Sawei Fujiwara.His boxes are still in the entrance.

It took a while for the two of them to move Natsume Takashi's luggage into the house. During this time, Shinto Akiko said to the cheap siblings through the door: "Aoi, Natsume, play on it first. After a while, come down for dinner in half an hour."

Although the Japanese food is much simpler than the Tang Dynasty cuisine, and although the vegetables bought in the Japanese market are all clean, the daily cooking still takes a lot of time for the housewife.

"Hi~"

Kui Jian responded bluntly, and closed the door again, but couldn't help complaining: "Speaking of which, you really don't have much luggage. Could it be that all boys are like this?"

Not that Aoi said that Natsume’s luggage is really simple, a shoulder bag with some change of clothes, another old rattan box and two cardboard boxes with some sundries inside.Especially the rattan box, there are still a large part of the relics from parents and elders.

Natsume Takashi smiled, but said nothing.

A sensitive person might think that Aoi was being sarcastic on purpose, but Natsume knew that Aoi didn't mean it.Moreover, because of staying at a relative's house for a short time, Natsume has always kept the amount of luggage that can be taken away at any time.And because of being chased by ghosts, it is impossible for Natsume Takashi to work like his classmates. That is to say, Natsume Takashi still lives on his parents' inheritance so far, so he rarely buys personal belongings.Because of his parents' inheritance, he had to save flowers.

"Ah, sorry."

Aoi also found out that she had made a slip of the tongue.

"No, it's all right. Ah, I found it."

If there is anything in the things left by grandma that makes Natsume think it has something to do with the name of the monster, it is only the thick book titled "Book of Friends", but there are pages in it that he can't understand at all. A loose-leaf booklet of ghost characters.

Natsume Takashi flipped through the loose-leaf booklet and said, "I really don't understand it."

"Of course. After all, the characters of monsters are different from ours. Even their races are different. However," Kui Surong said, "please be careful. For monsters, surrendering their real names means surrendering their lives. For example Said, if this book is thrown into the furnace, then the monsters whose names are on it, no matter where they are, will be burned to death by karmic fire. Monsters get hurt too."

Natsume Takashi was taken aback.

"how so!"

"So, in the other world, as long as you grab this book of friends, you can become the master of demons and ghosts in Yayuan, and lead the group of monsters. Now, do you know the weight of this book of friends?"

Natsume Takashi was stunned: "How could that be?"

Natsume Takashi grabbed the friend account in his hand, and reverence for his grandmother, whom he knew almost nothing before, rose in his heart.

He never knew that his grandmother Natsume Reiko was such a powerful person.

"Okay, if you know, come down to eat. Please keep that thing away. Also, please rest assured that this house is absolutely safe. If you are chased by ghosts on the street, please run straight home. As long as your hand touches the fence , those ghosts will not dare to chase you."

"why?"

"It's just a barrier. Didn't I say it? I'm a witch. Also, if you want to summon monsters, it's better to wait until mom and dad are asleep at night. I have the drawing of the summoning array there, but since you are This is the first summoning, so I hope you will do it under my guidance. If you have this idea."

Natsume Takashi still wanted to ask, but Aoi had already gone downstairs first.As a girl and a child of the owner's family, she has to go down to help her mother serve dishes, serve meals, and set the table.

The author has something to say: Japan has just issued a policy recently, announcing that men and women can only get married at the age of 20.However, when this chapter was completed, Japan had not revised the minimum age line for marriage, specifically stated.
