【Natsume Doujin】Cool summer

???? Time is like running water, and the years are passing by the fingertips. The brilliant chirping of cicadas in midsummer and the initial warm wind started this annual lively party.The dazzling sunlight passes through the leaves, casting light and shadows of different sizes, and the whitened streets reveal the heat of summer. The expected heavy rain did not come down, but instead seemed to be accumulating something, which was unusual stuffy.

???? After saying goodbye to Nishimura and the others, Natsume walked alone in the shade by the roadside.The air froze strangely, and I always felt like something had happened, but I couldn't explain the uneasiness in my heart.Natsume was a little puzzled, that slippery ghost Cheng Yu hadn't appeared since he met at Fujiwara's house that day, but Natsume had an intuition that this time it would be the same as usual, not that simple.

???? Back to this place that I don’t know when I have regarded it as my home. Miss Tazi still has a warm and caring smile, reassuring and beautiful, but... Mr. Cat is still not here, for the past week, or During the time since Cheng Xun appeared, Mr. Cat has been away from time to time, and he doesn't look like a bodyguard at all.Moreover, what makes Natsume most uneasy is that, as if agreed upon, the nearby monsters have disappeared during this period of time, and the air is so frozen that it is a bit suffocating. Even the good-tempered Natsume is unavoidably upset Operation.

????At night, although there is no sun to scorch, the earth does not have a trace of coolness. This kind of weather is so unusual that even the insects that should have been singing are gone.Natsume didn't sleep. To be precise, he was waiting for Mr. Cat, and his uneasiness continued to expand. He hoped to know all this, the reason for all these abnormal phenomena, and Mr. Cat must know.

Natsume, who was burdened with something in his heart, waited until midnight, only to see his chubby body climb up to the window on the second floor slyly, with unsteady footsteps, as if he didn't notice Natsume who was awake. Tired look.

????"Cat teacher……"

???? "Hey... Natsume, you haven't slept yet."

???? "Teacher, where did you go?"

???? "Ah... cough cough, I went to drink, good wine and grilled squid~~"

???? Natsume (beauty) frowned.

???? "Teacher, you are lying."

???? "Ahem, it's so late, go to sleep, Natsume don't disturb me. Zzz..."

???? "Mr. Kitty!" Natsume grabbed(?) the chubby maneki neko and shook the cat with both hands to prevent him from really falling asleep.

????The cat knows that the seemingly gentle Natsume can be stubborn sometimes, but he is really tired, so stop shaking.

???? Just as Natsume blinked, the cat he was holding in his hand disappeared, and he turned into a handsome man in front of him. The slight smile on his face could not hide the tiredness between his brows. Before Natsume could respond In the meantime, the man's arm was on the first floor and wrapped around Natsume's waist. Madara, who was much taller than Natsume, sighed softly, bent slightly, and put his head on Natsume's shoulder.The warm breath surrounded Natsume, instinctively stretched out his hand to push Madara away, and for some reason, his hand stopped in mid-air and did not move, probably because he heard the low and inaudible sigh and lost his mind for a while.

It wasn't just how long it took, just when Natsume thought Madara had fallen asleep, Madara suddenly hugged Natsume and pressed him down on the soft couch, pressing Natsume's legs with her slender legs, pushing him Hugging tightly in his arms, the gentle but forced movements resolved Natsume's struggle.

???? "Don't move, sleep."

Perhaps feeling the tiredness from Madara's words, Natsume no longer resisted, and adjusted his posture slightly to make the two of them more comfortable, but it aroused Madara's dissatisfaction and hugged Natsume even tighter.Natsume had no choice but to stay still.

A ray of moonlight shines into the room through the window, looking at Ben's sleeping face, for some reason, the uneasiness in my heart gradually subsides, the partial peace of mind makes Natsume sweep away the irritability brought by summer, and gradually falls asleep I'm done, I'll ask you all tomorrow...

????But when Natsume woke up the next day, Madara was no longer there, and Natsume felt a little sore. Sure enough, he shouldn't be soft-hearted. Being hugged to sleep is really not a good thing.Natsume suddenly realized that Madara's obvious tiredness last night, it seems that something really troublesome happened, and it must have something to do with herself, or with Reiko's grandmother.Thinking of this, Natsume immediately took the account of friends and prepared to set off. He must know what happened.

???? Today is the weekend. Compared with yesterday's sweltering heat, the air is more windy. The temperature in the morning is not very high. After having breakfast with the Fujiwara couple, I made an excuse and went out to look for cats.

???? Relying on the memory of secretly following the cat teacher a few days ago, Natsume walked into the forest. It was not a remote forest, but it was the first time that Natsume walked this road into the forest.Natsume didn't follow him to the end two days ago, and he hoped that the teacher could tell him directly, but from now on, the answer can only be found by himself.

????The more you walk into the forest, the more unusual it becomes, not only the denser and denser leaves and branches, but also the unusual quietness here. There are no traces of flying birds in the dense forest, which is quiet and weird.

????Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across the back of Natsume's neck. If Natsume hadn't reacted in time, he would probably have been decapitated.The person who landed lightly in front of him and almost took Natsume's life was dressed like a samurai, holding a spear in his hand, and behind him was a pair of black wings. He looked at Natsume warily, obviously not welcoming this uninvited guest.

???? Before Natsume opened his mouth to explain, this monster with black wings was attacking here with a long spear. Natsume had to retreat frequently to barely escape the attack.He just retreated in a panic, tripped over a tree root exposed on the ground, and fell into a warm and familiar embrace when he was about to make an honorable sacrifice.

???? "Cheng Xun, take care of your subordinates." The low tone fully showed the master's displeasure. After speaking, he waved away the attacking spear with one hand, and stood firmly on the ground with Natsume in his arms.

???? "Dark Crow, stop quickly, someone will go crazy if you hurt her little beauty~"

???? It was Cheng Dang who was wearing a black feather coat, with the same cynical tone, and if the exhaustion on his face was removed, he would be no different from the one I saw not long ago, with the half-worn pipe still in his hand.

???? "What are you doing here? It's really troublesome."

???? "I just want to know what the hell happened."

???? Madara's handsome face was full of anger and impatience, but there was nothing he could do about the calm and determined Natsume in front of him.Humans are trouble.

???? "As you wish." After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked deeper into the forest, ignoring Natsume.

????Cheng Xun waved his hand to let the dark crow leave first, and walked towards Natsume, with a smile on his face, but showing a chilling evil.

???? "Since Xiao Natsume wants to know so much, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he also walked to the depths of the forest. Natsume hurriedly followed, but he remembered Madara's anger when he left, and probably made him angry again.

????...

What caught Natsume's eyes was a large open space surrounded by big trees distributed in regular hexagons. Numerous talisman papers were wrapped around the trees, and a big regular hexagon was drawn on the ground. It looked like a Advanced seal.

???? Except for Madara who leaned against the big tree and said nothing, this place is really lively, there are many monsters, as if they are at a party.

???? "Natsume, let's get to know each other again. My name is Cheng Yu, the cunning ghost Cheng Yu, who leads the Hundred Ghosts of the Night Walk. They are my team, and there is also the dark crow just now. Don't blame him for hurting you, he is just in charge of guarding That's all."

???? The most painful part of writing a doujin is that I want to retain the original warm and healing feeling of "Natsume" while writing the plot I want. . .So if you write something strange, please don’t shoot it, be merciful~~~
