Break the Dimensional Wall
Chapter 87: Monster Gathering 4
Saitama helped Natsume to carry the two people who were there in a daze down the mountain. It is impossible to let these two people stay in the monster's den, right?
Even if the other party promises that they won't do anything, what if the two of them wake up, their brains are clear for a while, and they find something?
Natsume's own strength is not small, but it is still quite hard to carry a person down the mountain like this. Seeing the boy panting, Saitama directly picked up the collar of the person he was carrying, and dragged the person to himself In his hand, he said to the dazed Natsume, "Hurry up and send these two people back."
With Saitama's help, they naturally went down the mountain a lot faster.
Sending the two back to their home, Natsume explained to each other's parents.
They didn't drink the special monkey wine on the mountain, because it tasted so good, they got too drunk and passed out.
While this lame lie might be slightly off the mark, there's nothing illogical about it, is there?
After returning home, I looked at Mr. Cat who was drunk in the room, and even hiccupped, making the whole room reek of alcohol.
Natsume was so angry that he directly stretched out his fist to hit Mr. Cat on the head.
He was so frightened and afraid of accidents, why did Mr. Cat drink here so peacefully? !
Is he still his bodyguard?
"It hurts, bastard Natsume, what are you doing?" Clutching the big bag that had just risen on his head, the cat teacher wanted to jump up and teach Natsume a lesson, but as a result, he smelled the strong breath on his body as soon as he moved his nose.
"Natsume, you idiot, where did you go? Why did you get so much monster smell on your body? It smells so bad, hurry up and take a bath!"
"Teacher Kitty—" Natsume stood there, with black air all over his body, clenching his fists, thinking whether to give Teacher Cat another blow.
Finally, after thinking about it, Teacher Mao has always been like this anyway, even if he was taught a lesson, he would never listen.
Natsume sighed, sat down cross-legged, and told Mr. Cat what happened today.
Hearing what Natsume said, Mr. Cat also had an obvious guilty expression on his face, of course, it was just a guilty conscience.
Soon, Mr. Cat forgot all this and stood up with arms crossed. "Stupid Natsume, why do you keep running to such a dangerous place! If you hadn't met that strange bald man, wouldn't you have to tell where you are today, stupid! Idiot!"
"Ms. Kitty—" Natsume still gave up on getting some love from her friends, grabbed Mr. Kitty directly and started pinching his fat face, making the cat's face look ugly.
"... I always feel that Mr. Saitama is a very strange person, and what that little monster said, that the survival of monsters in this world is becoming more and more difficult... I always feel very concerned... Mr. Kitty, what is the situation?" Natsume Staring at Teacher Cat closely, he really wanted to get an answer, but at the same time, he was also afraid of getting that answer in his heart.
Hearing Natsume's question, the expression on Teacher Cat's face changed slightly.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Natsume closely, just when Natsume was looked at very uncomfortable, strange to the reaction of Mr. Cat.
In the next second, a puff of white smoke rose from Mr. Cat's body, and as the white smoke cleared, he also changed back to his own appearance, a big silver-white monster lying in the room.
He was surrounded by white fur circles.
"Teacher Kitty?" Natsume asked blankly, looking up at the big monster who was facing him.
"Do you really want to know this, Natsume? It's about the current world and the other side, and the real reason why there are only these monsters left now. You know, if you choose to explore, you may never be able to return to normal human life."
"Is there any secret in this?" Natsume looked up at Mr. Cat. He felt that a new world was opening to him. Looking at the majestic white monster, Natsume nodded firmly, "Mr. Cat ,I would like to know."
"Did you choose a monster?" Teacher Cat's face moved closer, and there was almost no gap between him and Natsume. As a human being, and a human being who doesn't have any ability to eliminate monsters, it is really true that he would choose a monster. is a rare thing.
However, Natsume has no right to choose from the very beginning, just like few humans can see monsters nowadays.Natsume's huge spiritual power may gradually dissipate one day. If he had a choice, Mr. Cat hoped that he could keep this wonderful boy for a longer time.
"Listen up." Teacher Cat changed back into that chubby beckoning cat, lying on the cushion and talking to Natsume. "From about 1000 years ago, the aura in the world has become thinner and thinner, but 1000 years ago, it was still in its heyday.
Counting from that period onwards, both onmyoji and monsters have begun to seek their own methods of liberation. There has never been a wonderful and glamorous figure like Abe Seimei in the legend.
The same monsters are not able to adapt to the current social environment as well as humans. The human territory continues to expand. Human high-rise buildings appear in the original forests and fields, and the aura naturally becomes thinner.
However, in order to prevent the weakened or disappearing monsters and gods due to the exhaustion of aura, they collectively migrated to the other side, and the powerful monsters all lived in the world of the other side.
Some of the monsters who are still living in this world are relatively weak, and some are unwilling to leave for various reasons. "
Natsume looked at Mr. Cat, there is no doubt that Mr. Cat is a powerful one, even if Mr. Cat is always beaten by himself, but his strength is undeniable. "Then... why did the teacher stay here?"
"..." Mr. Cat didn't answer this question. His crooked eyes narrowed, and he returned to his original alcohol-smelling appearance, belching contentedly. "Ignore you, I'm going to sleep, if you have any questions, please ask next time!"
Natsume looked at Mr. Cat who was already rolling into a ball with the cushion, so he had to smile helplessly. He took another cushion and put it behind Mr. Cat so that he wouldn't sleep uncomfortable and would vomit after a while. .
As soon as he walked downstairs, Natsume heard Aunt Toko's voice calling him, "Takashi, can I trouble you to go shopping for me? Now the pot is simmering on the stove, and I can't go away."
"No problem!" The boy smiled and immediately agreed.
Holding the shopping list that Aunt Toko had written for him, Natsume walked to the station. As soon as he got off the bus, he saw Saitama's back not far away.
Don't blame him, why is Mr. Saitama's back so recognizable?That bald head...
Ahem...
excuse me
"Well, Mr. Saitama, we meet again." Natsume subconsciously walked over and greeted people.
Seeing Natsume Saitama heaved a sigh of relief and walked over.
"Can you help me find out where this place is?" Saitama took out an envelope from his pocket, and leaned over to see the address on the envelope. Natsume recalled that the address on it was not far from here .
"Mr. Saitama, you are going in the wrong direction. This is the next street, and Chinatown is over there."
"... Oh." Feeling a little embarrassed, Saitama took the envelope and answered, he felt that his time was wasted in getting lost.
"Then... if you don't mind, how about I help Mr. Saitama lead the way?" Natsume raised this mind.
Mr. Saitama is holding that envelope again, is there anyone who will accept this invitation from Takamahara again?
"Eh? Really? Then I'll leave it to you." Saitama, who has always had a hard time finding the way, thanked him earnestly. It's really great that someone is willing to lead the way.
Walking all the way, until standing in front of the brightly colored road intersection, a large area of shadow appeared on Natsume's face.
This is not only Chinatown, but also a Kabuki hall!He... he actually wants to go into this kind of place? ! !
"Well, what? Aren't you going in?" Saitama took two steps forward, noticed that Natsume hadn't followed, and turned his head to ask.
Natsume shook his head quickly, and slapped the messy thoughts out of his head, "I'm coming!"
Isn’t it just Kabuki Tingcho, I don’t go in there to do anything, I just walk through here, don’t worry, it’s fine!Just walk past here!
Natsume took a deep breath, made enough psychological hints, and then walked in.
Although it is called Kabukicho, except for the sign above it, there is no intense and taboo scene as imagined, and it can only be called a lively street at best.
"Earl D's...pet shop?" Natsume looked up at the name on the signboard, feeling a little dazed.
Does this mean the owner is the Earl?
Well, I always feel a little nervous.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Saitama stood at the door and knocked on the door.
Hearing the sound, all the animals in the pet shop turned their heads in unison. Saitama was shocked when he saw so many animals. "A lot of animals. Does this pet shop keep them free? Even this kind of ferocious beast?"
Standing behind and watching the scene inside, the black line on Natsume's face is about to materialize.
He wanted to shake Saitama's shoulders, telling him to quickly put on the glasses that can see monsters, the ones inside are not animals!This is simply a den of monsters! !
"Ah, this person seems to be able to see us, and it smells delicious!" A red-haired man with horns came over and sniffed Natsume.
Being smelled like this, Natsume's whole body stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back.Although the monsters he encountered in his daily life either chased him or strangled his neck, the man in front of him with a strange horn on his head expressed his desire more frankly.
He just wants to eat.
Well, literally eat.
"Don't mess around, Ache, they are all the Earl's guests!" The woman lying lazily on the sofa stopped the man with horns on his head, and then raised her hand to greet a man in a foreign dress squatting next to her. The girl said, "Go and call the Earl over here, this is truly a formidable guest."
Natsume, who was a little scared, quickly asked Saitama to put on his glasses first, so that he could clearly see what was going on here and speak!Also, don't just reach out and pluck your hair!
Saitama just wanted to reach out to touch the animal that looked a bit like a sheep, but Natsume put on his glasses, and when he looked again, the animal that looked a bit like a sheep turned into a man grinning at him.
Noticing Saitama's strange expression after putting on the glasses, the man smiled more happily, showing his sharp fangs, but it didn't look scary.
"Welcome to Earl D's pet shop." Walking out of the inside was an indistinguishable black-haired beauty with soft shoulder-length short hair, golden and red eyes of different colors, and matched with his No one can deny the beauty of this gorgeous Tang suit.
Saitama: What a beautiful person.
Natsume: Human?Or a monster?
Natsume found that he didn't have any thoughts of regret. Although he was a little scared when such a troublesome thing happened, he was more curious than regretful for following him.
"Ah, what a surprising visitor." The beautiful shopkeeper raised the corners of his lips and led Saitama and the others into the inner room, "Let me make tea."
"Eh?! This is too troublesome." Although he was a little uncomfortable with the monsters in the room, Natsume still subconsciously stood up and wanted to take Earl D's teapot.
"It's rare for two guests to come to our door. Of course, we must treat them well." Earl D smiled, and called the pets in the shop to serve them pastries. "Reiko's grandson, and... guests from afar."
Hearing Reiko's name suddenly, Natsume stared blankly at Earl D, "You—" know grandmother?
"Hehe..., that one is a regular customer of the shop." Earl D's slender fingertips brushed the corners of his red lips, his gorgeous face was extremely bewitching, Natsume looked at Earl D for a long time, until Saitama yelled The tea was too sweet to recover.
"Ah, I'm sorry, don't you like it so sweet? Then I won't put any sugar next time."
So why is sugar added to tea, not coffee.
Putting the teacup back on the table, he glanced at the teapot again with lingering fear, Saitama directly took out the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Earl D, "Neng, this is for you."
Earl D took the envelope with both hands respectfully, and solemnly put the envelope into his sleeve. Saitama, who had already got up again, nodded, "Are you leaving?"
"Well, after all, there are other things that need to be sent there." Saitama didn't stay here to waste time, he should quickly end the trouble here and go home to rest.
Walking to the door, Saitama looked back at Natsume who was still standing there in a daze, "Why don't you go?"
"Ah...I'm here, Mr. Saitama." In fact, Natsume himself still wants to ask about grandma, but today doesn't seem to be a good time. Next time, bring Teacher Kitty with you. Maybe Teacher Kitty will know where this place is. what's the situation.
Finally, standing outside, Natsume couldn't help but look back at Earl D's pet shop. The animals in the shop were all standing inside and looking out.No, to be precise, they are all monsters.
For some reason, Natsume had a strange feeling that the pet shop would give him a lot of things that he never knew.
But this opportunity did not come soon, Natsume did not find another opportunity to come to this street after returning home.Surrounded by the monsters who came to the house again, Natsume somehow recalled the shopkeeper's bright red lips and the sweet incense.
"Natsume, Natsume." After calling several times before seeing the young man come back to his senses, the monsters couldn't help being surprised, "What's wrong with you? You're actually distracted."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Natsume, who realized that he had lost his mind, subconsciously apologized first, and then looked at the people around him a little embarrassedly, "I just thought of someone."
"Hey, what, someone who can make Natsume care?"
"...Earl D..." Natsume didn't know the name of that person, so he subconsciously said the name of the store. He wanted to explain, and asked if anyone had been there before, and saw the expressions of the monsters in front of him. Everything has changed.
"Natsume, do you know D?" Mr. Cat jumped onto Natsume's knee and asked.
"Eh? I don't know." Natsume noticed that their expressions didn't seem very good-looking, so he said everything he saw last time.
Hearing what Natsume said, Teacher Cat breathed a sigh of relief, "Natsume, let me tell you, this D is not a good person, he especially likes to recommend some very dangerous guys to others, you must! Be sure to stay away from him .”
"Speaking of which, Madara, you are actually more afraid that D will introduce a good bodyguard to Natsume, after all, you are not qualified at all as a bodyguard." C, who was next to him, exhaled a smoke ring and laughed.
"Whispering! I'm obviously doing it for Natsume's good!" After speaking, Mr. Cat still looked at Natsume's reaction, he was really afraid that this little guy would say that he was irresponsible.
Natsume quickly waved his hand, "It's enough for me to have Mr. Kitty, but that Earl D...is it..."
Noticing Natsume's entanglement, C puffed out a smoke ring and explained to him, "D is the last ark where our monsters exist."
At this point, she paused again, and raised her hand to stroke Natsume's hair, "But this has nothing to do with you, Natsume, so don't worry too much about it. After all, you are still a human being, so it's best to stay away from there."
This is something that belongs to their monsters, and has almost nothing to do with Natsume. Besides, that guy D is too dangerous, so it's better not to involve Natsume.
Natsume opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything in the end. For some reason, he always felt that they were not very willing to talk about this Earl D with him.
Since they don't want to say something, let's do it first.
When going to school the next day, on the way to school, Natsume saw the kappa who was fainting by the roadside again. Natsume sighed subconsciously, and was going to pour a can of mineral water on him.
He accidentally saw Saitama who was also standing beside him, and then glanced at the metal-rimmed glasses on Saitama's face.
It seems that Mr. Saitama also saw this kappa, and Natsume walked over with a mineral water bottle in his hand. He thought Saitama was thinking about whether to buy water or something, but as soon as he walked in, he heard Saitama muttering.
"Kappa...is it steamed or stewed? After all, it is a very precious ingredient."
Wait, wait a minute!
Mr. Saitama, did your first reaction when you saw the poor and helpless monster lying on the side of the road be to take it home as food? !
Saitama is justified JPG
I picked it up by my ability, of course I have to consider how to eat it! !
"Mr. Saitama... please don't think about this kind of question..." Trying to make the other party give up the idea of eating monsters casually, Natsume subconsciously asked another question, why is Mr. Saitama here, is he lost again?
"I'm not lost every day, what are you thinking!"
"Uh...sorry."
"Don't keep apologizing like this...forget it." I always felt that the boy in front of me was too reserved, Saitama rubbed the center of his brows subconsciously, and his eyes looked around behind Natsume again, "Your fat cat didn't follow you?"
"I'm going to school, of course Mr. Cat will stay at home." Natsume explained.
"Oh, by the way, you are still a student, no wonder, then go to school quickly! Don't be late!" Saitama took the mineral water bottle from Natsume's hand naturally, and continued to lie on the ground because the water was poured And the happy groaning kappa is watering.
"But..." Natsume's eyes were still wandering between Saitama and Kappa.
"I don't know how to eat!" Saitama quickly assured after being looked at like this.
After hearing Saitama's assurance, Natsume showed a smile on his face, "Sorry..."
"So, why do you keep apologizing?" Saitama looked at Natsume with doubts in his eyes. Just at this time, the bottle of mineral water in his hand was also empty. Saitama walked straight forward and threw the bottle into the trash can inside.
"...Probably because of fear." Natsume lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, and walked slowly beside Saitama.
Afraid of losing, afraid of being too close to people, so always keep a distance from others.
"Aren't you going to be late for school?" Saitama asked back looking at Natsume's obviously slowed down pace.
"It's okay, it's still early." Natsume walked slowly, and he also sorted out his thoughts. To be honest, I don't know why, but he always feels more respectful unconsciously when facing Saitama.
One is a sense of belonging to beings who can see and feel those who do not exist in others, and the other is probably respect.
Mr. Saitama is really a very powerful person. He issued the invitation letter of Gao Tianyuan, shot the monsters in the air, and knew so many...legendary characters.
"By the way, can I ask a question?" Natsume felt his voice tremble a little, he looked up at Saitama.
"Mr. Saitama... who is it?"
Is it a god?Or some big monster?Or is it... Buddha?
"Me? I'm just a hero out of interest." Saitama smiled and said casually.
Although this answer was completely unexpected for Natsume, but for some reason, he accepted it all at once, staring at Saitama closely.
hero...
If Mr. Saitama is a hero, it must be the kind of hero who loves power the least, and does whatever he wants based on his own interests.
Really... a very powerful person.
"Although Mr. Saitama may not feel much, but I still want to thank Mr. Saitama... Really, thank you very much!"
Eh?
Saitama, who didn't feel that he had done anything at all, was very strange. If he wanted to say it, it was obvious that the young man in front of him helped him lead the way, so why did he thank him instead?
At school, Natsume said goodbye to Saitama again, this time his mood was much better than before.
Don't think about many things, just follow your own heart.
"Meow...meow..." A thin meow came to my ears, Natsume looked around, squatted down, and saw a thin and thin kitten in a bush.The whole body of white hair is stained with a little dirt, it seems that it has suffered a lot. After seeing Natsume, the little white cat raised its head and meowed, the blue cat pupils reflected the person in front of it. look like.
Looking at the little milk cat, Natsume hugged the kitten into his arms almost without hesitation, the little white cat is also very sensible, staying obediently in Natsume's arms all day long, neither moving nor barking , Only when Natsume looked at him, did he whine twice.
"It's so good." Finally, after class, Natsume carefully hugged the little white cat and was about to go home. "Would you like to buy some cat litter and canned cat food by the way? Teacher Cat doesn't even use these."
As soon as I said this, Natsume suddenly remembered the trouble Mr. Cat caused when he fed the cat last time. Who knows if he will do something this time while he is not paying attention?
Looking down at the little white cat obediently in his arms, he realized that there was a silver chain tied around the little white cat's neck. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and Natsume saw a small sign, "lucky"
"Do you have an owner?" Natsume rubbed the kitten again, and said with a low laugh, "Then I'll send you back to your owner. I'm sorry, my family can't keep you."
As if it understood Natsume's words, the little white cat let out a soft cry, stretched out its small tongue and licked the palm of Natsume's palm, and the warm little tongue licked the skin, coupled with its overly obedient appearance.Who can resist such a cute kitten?
Being licked by such a cute little thing, Rao Natsume also had the idea of just keeping the kitten, but he quickly woke up.
No, no, no, no!
But...it's no problem to take home to bathe the kitten and drink a bowl of milk.
"Natsume!!!" Natsume returned home and accepted Teacher Kitty's roar again. Teacher Kitty pointed at the little white cat in Natsume's arms angrily, "How can you raise another cat?!"
"No, Mr. Kitty, don't get me wrong, I just fed him and then went to find an owner for him!" Natsume explained hastily.
"Really?" Doubtful eyes ←_←
"real!"
With Natsume's affirmation, Mr. Cat ran around the room joyfully again. After Natsume finished bathing the little white cat, he came over and said, "Eh? This cat is really good."
"Yeah, I hope Mr. Cat will be so good when he takes a bath in the future, ah! By the way, Mr. Cat, how long has it been since you took a bath! Come here!" At this point, Natsume grabbed Mrs. Cat's hand The nape of the neck prevents the cat from running away.
"Meow! I don't want to take a bath! Why do I, a big monster, take a bath!"
"Mr. Cat, you got drunk and rolled in the mud pit recently! Several footprints of yours appeared in the room recently!"
"How can you say it's mine! Maybe it belongs to some other monster! Natsume, you'll wrong me! Woowawa, I don't want to take a bath!"
"Aside from Mr. Kitty, what other monsters have footprints like yours!"
Listening to the sound coming from the bathroom, the little white cat lying on the bed also emitted a faint light.
The white light dissipated, and the little white cat turned into a girl in a dress, her curly hair neatly stuck to her temples, her big glasses blinked, she picked up the milk that Natsume had prepared for her, and took a sip Take a small sip of the delicacy specially given to her.
Hearing the miserable meow from the bathroom again, the little white cat sighed, "Men are all fools."
After finally washing it out, Natsume's whole body was soaked. He was just about to find a change of clothes. After taking two steps, Natsume suddenly realized that something was wrong!Wait, where did the little white cat that was on the cushion go?Why is it now a little girl in a dress.
As soon as Mr. Cat saw it, he jumped up and kicked Natsume with his claws, "You actually brought a monster!"
Natsume: I was wronged!I didn't realize she was a monster at all!
Teacher Cat: Natsume, the big pig's trotter!Do you want to change a bodyguard!Believe it or not, I ran away from home!
Seeing how lively they were, the little girl that the little white cat turned into laughed instead, "Your relationship is really enviable."
Natsume and Mr. Cat, who subconsciously wanted to refute, turned their heads together, and saw the little girl who was about to cry, "That...what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, Natsume...Your name is Natsume, right!" The little girl stood up, lifted the corner of her skirt and saluted Natsume, "Thank you very much, Natsume-sama."
"It's okay." Natsume waved his hand, then looked over curiously, "By the way, why are you in that kind of place?"
If it was a monster, how could it be so miserable?Could it be that he encountered some kind of exorcist?
The little girl looked a little ashamed. She stroked her hair, "I just came out of the Earl's shop and got lost by accident."
Hearing the Earl's words, for some reason, the man's bright red lips immediately appeared in Natsume's mind, "Is it Earl D?"
"Eh? You know the earl?!" The little girl's glasses lit up instantly, and she looked at Natsume, "Can I trouble you to send me back? I liked you before, but you have such I'm an adult, and it's not easy for me to intervene."
Being said that, Natsume was also taken aback for a moment, he looked at it and jumped to say something, of course a little elf like you is not worthy to replace my lord.
Even though the hair on his body hasn't been blown dry yet, Mr. Cat doesn't even know how funny he looks.But, indeed, it is enough for him to have Mr. Cat alone.
"Then I'll take you back with Mr. Cat." Natsume picked up the little girl and said to Mr. Cat, "Let's go."
Although Natsume didn't pick her up, Mr. Cat still jumped and climbed directly onto Natsume's shoulder.
"Wow, Mr. Cat, are you getting heavier and heavier?"
"No!"
"But my shoulders were pressed down by you."
"That means Natsume, you need to exercise, hehe, be careful that you have frozen shoulder at a young age."
Hearing such an unreasonable answer from Mr. Cat, Natsume almost wanted to sigh.
At the same time, I was also thinking about the recent matter of controlling my diet for Mr. Cat.
First of all, steamed buns and ice cream must be restrained first.Oh, and watermelon should also be reduced, and... well, the number of drinking should also be controlled, or you will have a beer belly sooner or later.
Mr. Cat, who knew nothing about it, shuddered for some reason, because he always felt as if he was being watched by something strange.
********
By the time he walked to Kabukicho again, Natsume was no longer as nervous as last time.Walking in front of Earl D's pet shop, Natsume took a deep breath, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Coming~" The red-haired man with horns on his head that I saw last time opened the door, and his eyes glowed when he noticed that Natsume was standing at the door. "Hey, it's the cutie from last time."
Subconsciously shivering, Natsume froze at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.
But the one called Ah Che didn't really intend to eat Natsume, he just licked the corner of his mouth, opened the door a little wider, "Come in."
"Hit, I'm sorry."
As soon as he walked to the door, the cat teacher on Natsume's shoulder jumped down directly. As soon as he landed, Natsume saw a great change in the cat teacher.
She has silver-white hair, golden vertical pupils, and a little stubble on her chin. Although she looks a little lazy, she is as calm and steady as a sword in and out of its sheath.
"...Mr. Kitty?" Natsume asked uncertainly. Although he had never seen him before, but for some reason, he was very sure that the man in his eyes was Mr. Kitty.
"Ah!" The man closed one eye, scratched his hair and answered Natsume's question.
"Mr. Cat, how did you turn into a human?!"
"The special incense here can make monsters and some animals directly into human form." Teacher Cat briefly explained, then raised his hand and patted Natsume on the head, "It's a rare time, I'll go find someone I know If you're drunk, call me again if you need anything."
Looking up at the human figure of Mr. Cat, Natsume was stunned for a moment, and then saw Mr. Cat, who seemed to be familiar with the people here, walking to the door inside.
"Ah, wasn't that Madara-sama just now? Earl D also came out with a tea set in his hand. He looked at the little girl who was still being held by Natsume and smiled, "So you picked up the little princess." , Come in, Madara-sama will get very drunk every time he comes over. "
From Earl D's tone, it seemed that Mr. Cat often came to bother him. Natsume scratched his head subconsciously, "Well, does Mr. Cat come here often?"
"Mr. Kitty?" Earl D's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized that this was the address for Madara, "I didn't expect Master Madara to choose you."
After receiving the tea from Earl D, Natsume closed his eyes and smelled the mellow tea scent. When he looked away, he happened to see the envelope on the table.
"Curious about this?"
Earl D picked up the envelope and looked at Natsume. Seeing the boy nodding unconsciously, he smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I don't know...have you heard of Higan and Takamahara?"
Hearing the familiar words again, Natsume looked over instantly and noticed the smile on Earl D's mouth.
Did you hear it?
"Teacher Cat once said something, but I don't know very well." Natsume lowered his head, he felt his own heartbeat.As expected, he still cared about... what Mr. Cat had never told him.
"As I said before, I met Reiko, she became a civil servant on the other side after her death..."
Natsume sat on the sofa, listening to Earl D talking about many, many things, about the other shore, about his grandmother, and about... the world where monsters exist.
"Reiko is a human being that I find it hard to dislike. Although she is confused and arrogant, and likes to be merciful, all the young ladies and gentlemen here will never forget her, but there is no doubt that she is an interesting human being. " After drinking the last sip of tea, D concluded, looking at Natsume, "You are the same, if one day, you choose a monster, you can come to me."
"Humans are like mayflies to us, like fireflies with beautiful luster. Although they are attractive enough, for monsters, life is too short."
Although, some monsters are willing to fly moths to the flames for this short hundred years, but what is left in the end is only endless sorrow.
Don't get married, it will only increase sadness.
Monsters are different from human beings. After human beings die, they will re-enter reincarnation, but when monsters die, they have nothing.
"You... what do you mean?" Natsume looked at Earl D, he could feel what the other party was implying, but what exactly was the other party talking about?He can't guess.
"When you find out later, you will come to me again." Earl D still
Even if the other party promises that they won't do anything, what if the two of them wake up, their brains are clear for a while, and they find something?
Natsume's own strength is not small, but it is still quite hard to carry a person down the mountain like this. Seeing the boy panting, Saitama directly picked up the collar of the person he was carrying, and dragged the person to himself In his hand, he said to the dazed Natsume, "Hurry up and send these two people back."
With Saitama's help, they naturally went down the mountain a lot faster.
Sending the two back to their home, Natsume explained to each other's parents.
They didn't drink the special monkey wine on the mountain, because it tasted so good, they got too drunk and passed out.
While this lame lie might be slightly off the mark, there's nothing illogical about it, is there?
After returning home, I looked at Mr. Cat who was drunk in the room, and even hiccupped, making the whole room reek of alcohol.
Natsume was so angry that he directly stretched out his fist to hit Mr. Cat on the head.
He was so frightened and afraid of accidents, why did Mr. Cat drink here so peacefully? !
Is he still his bodyguard?
"It hurts, bastard Natsume, what are you doing?" Clutching the big bag that had just risen on his head, the cat teacher wanted to jump up and teach Natsume a lesson, but as a result, he smelled the strong breath on his body as soon as he moved his nose.
"Natsume, you idiot, where did you go? Why did you get so much monster smell on your body? It smells so bad, hurry up and take a bath!"
"Teacher Kitty—" Natsume stood there, with black air all over his body, clenching his fists, thinking whether to give Teacher Cat another blow.
Finally, after thinking about it, Teacher Mao has always been like this anyway, even if he was taught a lesson, he would never listen.
Natsume sighed, sat down cross-legged, and told Mr. Cat what happened today.
Hearing what Natsume said, Mr. Cat also had an obvious guilty expression on his face, of course, it was just a guilty conscience.
Soon, Mr. Cat forgot all this and stood up with arms crossed. "Stupid Natsume, why do you keep running to such a dangerous place! If you hadn't met that strange bald man, wouldn't you have to tell where you are today, stupid! Idiot!"
"Ms. Kitty—" Natsume still gave up on getting some love from her friends, grabbed Mr. Kitty directly and started pinching his fat face, making the cat's face look ugly.
"... I always feel that Mr. Saitama is a very strange person, and what that little monster said, that the survival of monsters in this world is becoming more and more difficult... I always feel very concerned... Mr. Kitty, what is the situation?" Natsume Staring at Teacher Cat closely, he really wanted to get an answer, but at the same time, he was also afraid of getting that answer in his heart.
Hearing Natsume's question, the expression on Teacher Cat's face changed slightly.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Natsume closely, just when Natsume was looked at very uncomfortable, strange to the reaction of Mr. Cat.
In the next second, a puff of white smoke rose from Mr. Cat's body, and as the white smoke cleared, he also changed back to his own appearance, a big silver-white monster lying in the room.
He was surrounded by white fur circles.
"Teacher Kitty?" Natsume asked blankly, looking up at the big monster who was facing him.
"Do you really want to know this, Natsume? It's about the current world and the other side, and the real reason why there are only these monsters left now. You know, if you choose to explore, you may never be able to return to normal human life."
"Is there any secret in this?" Natsume looked up at Mr. Cat. He felt that a new world was opening to him. Looking at the majestic white monster, Natsume nodded firmly, "Mr. Cat ,I would like to know."
"Did you choose a monster?" Teacher Cat's face moved closer, and there was almost no gap between him and Natsume. As a human being, and a human being who doesn't have any ability to eliminate monsters, it is really true that he would choose a monster. is a rare thing.
However, Natsume has no right to choose from the very beginning, just like few humans can see monsters nowadays.Natsume's huge spiritual power may gradually dissipate one day. If he had a choice, Mr. Cat hoped that he could keep this wonderful boy for a longer time.
"Listen up." Teacher Cat changed back into that chubby beckoning cat, lying on the cushion and talking to Natsume. "From about 1000 years ago, the aura in the world has become thinner and thinner, but 1000 years ago, it was still in its heyday.
Counting from that period onwards, both onmyoji and monsters have begun to seek their own methods of liberation. There has never been a wonderful and glamorous figure like Abe Seimei in the legend.
The same monsters are not able to adapt to the current social environment as well as humans. The human territory continues to expand. Human high-rise buildings appear in the original forests and fields, and the aura naturally becomes thinner.
However, in order to prevent the weakened or disappearing monsters and gods due to the exhaustion of aura, they collectively migrated to the other side, and the powerful monsters all lived in the world of the other side.
Some of the monsters who are still living in this world are relatively weak, and some are unwilling to leave for various reasons. "
Natsume looked at Mr. Cat, there is no doubt that Mr. Cat is a powerful one, even if Mr. Cat is always beaten by himself, but his strength is undeniable. "Then... why did the teacher stay here?"
"..." Mr. Cat didn't answer this question. His crooked eyes narrowed, and he returned to his original alcohol-smelling appearance, belching contentedly. "Ignore you, I'm going to sleep, if you have any questions, please ask next time!"
Natsume looked at Mr. Cat who was already rolling into a ball with the cushion, so he had to smile helplessly. He took another cushion and put it behind Mr. Cat so that he wouldn't sleep uncomfortable and would vomit after a while. .
As soon as he walked downstairs, Natsume heard Aunt Toko's voice calling him, "Takashi, can I trouble you to go shopping for me? Now the pot is simmering on the stove, and I can't go away."
"No problem!" The boy smiled and immediately agreed.
Holding the shopping list that Aunt Toko had written for him, Natsume walked to the station. As soon as he got off the bus, he saw Saitama's back not far away.
Don't blame him, why is Mr. Saitama's back so recognizable?That bald head...
Ahem...
excuse me
"Well, Mr. Saitama, we meet again." Natsume subconsciously walked over and greeted people.
Seeing Natsume Saitama heaved a sigh of relief and walked over.
"Can you help me find out where this place is?" Saitama took out an envelope from his pocket, and leaned over to see the address on the envelope. Natsume recalled that the address on it was not far from here .
"Mr. Saitama, you are going in the wrong direction. This is the next street, and Chinatown is over there."
"... Oh." Feeling a little embarrassed, Saitama took the envelope and answered, he felt that his time was wasted in getting lost.
"Then... if you don't mind, how about I help Mr. Saitama lead the way?" Natsume raised this mind.
Mr. Saitama is holding that envelope again, is there anyone who will accept this invitation from Takamahara again?
"Eh? Really? Then I'll leave it to you." Saitama, who has always had a hard time finding the way, thanked him earnestly. It's really great that someone is willing to lead the way.
Walking all the way, until standing in front of the brightly colored road intersection, a large area of shadow appeared on Natsume's face.
This is not only Chinatown, but also a Kabuki hall!He... he actually wants to go into this kind of place? ! !
"Well, what? Aren't you going in?" Saitama took two steps forward, noticed that Natsume hadn't followed, and turned his head to ask.
Natsume shook his head quickly, and slapped the messy thoughts out of his head, "I'm coming!"
Isn’t it just Kabuki Tingcho, I don’t go in there to do anything, I just walk through here, don’t worry, it’s fine!Just walk past here!
Natsume took a deep breath, made enough psychological hints, and then walked in.
Although it is called Kabukicho, except for the sign above it, there is no intense and taboo scene as imagined, and it can only be called a lively street at best.
"Earl D's...pet shop?" Natsume looked up at the name on the signboard, feeling a little dazed.
Does this mean the owner is the Earl?
Well, I always feel a little nervous.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Saitama stood at the door and knocked on the door.
Hearing the sound, all the animals in the pet shop turned their heads in unison. Saitama was shocked when he saw so many animals. "A lot of animals. Does this pet shop keep them free? Even this kind of ferocious beast?"
Standing behind and watching the scene inside, the black line on Natsume's face is about to materialize.
He wanted to shake Saitama's shoulders, telling him to quickly put on the glasses that can see monsters, the ones inside are not animals!This is simply a den of monsters! !
"Ah, this person seems to be able to see us, and it smells delicious!" A red-haired man with horns came over and sniffed Natsume.
Being smelled like this, Natsume's whole body stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back.Although the monsters he encountered in his daily life either chased him or strangled his neck, the man in front of him with a strange horn on his head expressed his desire more frankly.
He just wants to eat.
Well, literally eat.
"Don't mess around, Ache, they are all the Earl's guests!" The woman lying lazily on the sofa stopped the man with horns on his head, and then raised her hand to greet a man in a foreign dress squatting next to her. The girl said, "Go and call the Earl over here, this is truly a formidable guest."
Natsume, who was a little scared, quickly asked Saitama to put on his glasses first, so that he could clearly see what was going on here and speak!Also, don't just reach out and pluck your hair!
Saitama just wanted to reach out to touch the animal that looked a bit like a sheep, but Natsume put on his glasses, and when he looked again, the animal that looked a bit like a sheep turned into a man grinning at him.
Noticing Saitama's strange expression after putting on the glasses, the man smiled more happily, showing his sharp fangs, but it didn't look scary.
"Welcome to Earl D's pet shop." Walking out of the inside was an indistinguishable black-haired beauty with soft shoulder-length short hair, golden and red eyes of different colors, and matched with his No one can deny the beauty of this gorgeous Tang suit.
Saitama: What a beautiful person.
Natsume: Human?Or a monster?
Natsume found that he didn't have any thoughts of regret. Although he was a little scared when such a troublesome thing happened, he was more curious than regretful for following him.
"Ah, what a surprising visitor." The beautiful shopkeeper raised the corners of his lips and led Saitama and the others into the inner room, "Let me make tea."
"Eh?! This is too troublesome." Although he was a little uncomfortable with the monsters in the room, Natsume still subconsciously stood up and wanted to take Earl D's teapot.
"It's rare for two guests to come to our door. Of course, we must treat them well." Earl D smiled, and called the pets in the shop to serve them pastries. "Reiko's grandson, and... guests from afar."
Hearing Reiko's name suddenly, Natsume stared blankly at Earl D, "You—" know grandmother?
"Hehe..., that one is a regular customer of the shop." Earl D's slender fingertips brushed the corners of his red lips, his gorgeous face was extremely bewitching, Natsume looked at Earl D for a long time, until Saitama yelled The tea was too sweet to recover.
"Ah, I'm sorry, don't you like it so sweet? Then I won't put any sugar next time."
So why is sugar added to tea, not coffee.
Putting the teacup back on the table, he glanced at the teapot again with lingering fear, Saitama directly took out the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Earl D, "Neng, this is for you."
Earl D took the envelope with both hands respectfully, and solemnly put the envelope into his sleeve. Saitama, who had already got up again, nodded, "Are you leaving?"
"Well, after all, there are other things that need to be sent there." Saitama didn't stay here to waste time, he should quickly end the trouble here and go home to rest.
Walking to the door, Saitama looked back at Natsume who was still standing there in a daze, "Why don't you go?"
"Ah...I'm here, Mr. Saitama." In fact, Natsume himself still wants to ask about grandma, but today doesn't seem to be a good time. Next time, bring Teacher Kitty with you. Maybe Teacher Kitty will know where this place is. what's the situation.
Finally, standing outside, Natsume couldn't help but look back at Earl D's pet shop. The animals in the shop were all standing inside and looking out.No, to be precise, they are all monsters.
For some reason, Natsume had a strange feeling that the pet shop would give him a lot of things that he never knew.
But this opportunity did not come soon, Natsume did not find another opportunity to come to this street after returning home.Surrounded by the monsters who came to the house again, Natsume somehow recalled the shopkeeper's bright red lips and the sweet incense.
"Natsume, Natsume." After calling several times before seeing the young man come back to his senses, the monsters couldn't help being surprised, "What's wrong with you? You're actually distracted."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Natsume, who realized that he had lost his mind, subconsciously apologized first, and then looked at the people around him a little embarrassedly, "I just thought of someone."
"Hey, what, someone who can make Natsume care?"
"...Earl D..." Natsume didn't know the name of that person, so he subconsciously said the name of the store. He wanted to explain, and asked if anyone had been there before, and saw the expressions of the monsters in front of him. Everything has changed.
"Natsume, do you know D?" Mr. Cat jumped onto Natsume's knee and asked.
"Eh? I don't know." Natsume noticed that their expressions didn't seem very good-looking, so he said everything he saw last time.
Hearing what Natsume said, Teacher Cat breathed a sigh of relief, "Natsume, let me tell you, this D is not a good person, he especially likes to recommend some very dangerous guys to others, you must! Be sure to stay away from him .”
"Speaking of which, Madara, you are actually more afraid that D will introduce a good bodyguard to Natsume, after all, you are not qualified at all as a bodyguard." C, who was next to him, exhaled a smoke ring and laughed.
"Whispering! I'm obviously doing it for Natsume's good!" After speaking, Mr. Cat still looked at Natsume's reaction, he was really afraid that this little guy would say that he was irresponsible.
Natsume quickly waved his hand, "It's enough for me to have Mr. Kitty, but that Earl D...is it..."
Noticing Natsume's entanglement, C puffed out a smoke ring and explained to him, "D is the last ark where our monsters exist."
At this point, she paused again, and raised her hand to stroke Natsume's hair, "But this has nothing to do with you, Natsume, so don't worry too much about it. After all, you are still a human being, so it's best to stay away from there."
This is something that belongs to their monsters, and has almost nothing to do with Natsume. Besides, that guy D is too dangerous, so it's better not to involve Natsume.
Natsume opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything in the end. For some reason, he always felt that they were not very willing to talk about this Earl D with him.
Since they don't want to say something, let's do it first.
When going to school the next day, on the way to school, Natsume saw the kappa who was fainting by the roadside again. Natsume sighed subconsciously, and was going to pour a can of mineral water on him.
He accidentally saw Saitama who was also standing beside him, and then glanced at the metal-rimmed glasses on Saitama's face.
It seems that Mr. Saitama also saw this kappa, and Natsume walked over with a mineral water bottle in his hand. He thought Saitama was thinking about whether to buy water or something, but as soon as he walked in, he heard Saitama muttering.
"Kappa...is it steamed or stewed? After all, it is a very precious ingredient."
Wait, wait a minute!
Mr. Saitama, did your first reaction when you saw the poor and helpless monster lying on the side of the road be to take it home as food? !
Saitama is justified JPG
I picked it up by my ability, of course I have to consider how to eat it! !
"Mr. Saitama... please don't think about this kind of question..." Trying to make the other party give up the idea of eating monsters casually, Natsume subconsciously asked another question, why is Mr. Saitama here, is he lost again?
"I'm not lost every day, what are you thinking!"
"Uh...sorry."
"Don't keep apologizing like this...forget it." I always felt that the boy in front of me was too reserved, Saitama rubbed the center of his brows subconsciously, and his eyes looked around behind Natsume again, "Your fat cat didn't follow you?"
"I'm going to school, of course Mr. Cat will stay at home." Natsume explained.
"Oh, by the way, you are still a student, no wonder, then go to school quickly! Don't be late!" Saitama took the mineral water bottle from Natsume's hand naturally, and continued to lie on the ground because the water was poured And the happy groaning kappa is watering.
"But..." Natsume's eyes were still wandering between Saitama and Kappa.
"I don't know how to eat!" Saitama quickly assured after being looked at like this.
After hearing Saitama's assurance, Natsume showed a smile on his face, "Sorry..."
"So, why do you keep apologizing?" Saitama looked at Natsume with doubts in his eyes. Just at this time, the bottle of mineral water in his hand was also empty. Saitama walked straight forward and threw the bottle into the trash can inside.
"...Probably because of fear." Natsume lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, and walked slowly beside Saitama.
Afraid of losing, afraid of being too close to people, so always keep a distance from others.
"Aren't you going to be late for school?" Saitama asked back looking at Natsume's obviously slowed down pace.
"It's okay, it's still early." Natsume walked slowly, and he also sorted out his thoughts. To be honest, I don't know why, but he always feels more respectful unconsciously when facing Saitama.
One is a sense of belonging to beings who can see and feel those who do not exist in others, and the other is probably respect.
Mr. Saitama is really a very powerful person. He issued the invitation letter of Gao Tianyuan, shot the monsters in the air, and knew so many...legendary characters.
"By the way, can I ask a question?" Natsume felt his voice tremble a little, he looked up at Saitama.
"Mr. Saitama... who is it?"
Is it a god?Or some big monster?Or is it... Buddha?
"Me? I'm just a hero out of interest." Saitama smiled and said casually.
Although this answer was completely unexpected for Natsume, but for some reason, he accepted it all at once, staring at Saitama closely.
hero...
If Mr. Saitama is a hero, it must be the kind of hero who loves power the least, and does whatever he wants based on his own interests.
Really... a very powerful person.
"Although Mr. Saitama may not feel much, but I still want to thank Mr. Saitama... Really, thank you very much!"
Eh?
Saitama, who didn't feel that he had done anything at all, was very strange. If he wanted to say it, it was obvious that the young man in front of him helped him lead the way, so why did he thank him instead?
At school, Natsume said goodbye to Saitama again, this time his mood was much better than before.
Don't think about many things, just follow your own heart.
"Meow...meow..." A thin meow came to my ears, Natsume looked around, squatted down, and saw a thin and thin kitten in a bush.The whole body of white hair is stained with a little dirt, it seems that it has suffered a lot. After seeing Natsume, the little white cat raised its head and meowed, the blue cat pupils reflected the person in front of it. look like.
Looking at the little milk cat, Natsume hugged the kitten into his arms almost without hesitation, the little white cat is also very sensible, staying obediently in Natsume's arms all day long, neither moving nor barking , Only when Natsume looked at him, did he whine twice.
"It's so good." Finally, after class, Natsume carefully hugged the little white cat and was about to go home. "Would you like to buy some cat litter and canned cat food by the way? Teacher Cat doesn't even use these."
As soon as I said this, Natsume suddenly remembered the trouble Mr. Cat caused when he fed the cat last time. Who knows if he will do something this time while he is not paying attention?
Looking down at the little white cat obediently in his arms, he realized that there was a silver chain tied around the little white cat's neck. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and Natsume saw a small sign, "lucky"
"Do you have an owner?" Natsume rubbed the kitten again, and said with a low laugh, "Then I'll send you back to your owner. I'm sorry, my family can't keep you."
As if it understood Natsume's words, the little white cat let out a soft cry, stretched out its small tongue and licked the palm of Natsume's palm, and the warm little tongue licked the skin, coupled with its overly obedient appearance.Who can resist such a cute kitten?
Being licked by such a cute little thing, Rao Natsume also had the idea of just keeping the kitten, but he quickly woke up.
No, no, no, no!
But...it's no problem to take home to bathe the kitten and drink a bowl of milk.
"Natsume!!!" Natsume returned home and accepted Teacher Kitty's roar again. Teacher Kitty pointed at the little white cat in Natsume's arms angrily, "How can you raise another cat?!"
"No, Mr. Kitty, don't get me wrong, I just fed him and then went to find an owner for him!" Natsume explained hastily.
"Really?" Doubtful eyes ←_←
"real!"
With Natsume's affirmation, Mr. Cat ran around the room joyfully again. After Natsume finished bathing the little white cat, he came over and said, "Eh? This cat is really good."
"Yeah, I hope Mr. Cat will be so good when he takes a bath in the future, ah! By the way, Mr. Cat, how long has it been since you took a bath! Come here!" At this point, Natsume grabbed Mrs. Cat's hand The nape of the neck prevents the cat from running away.
"Meow! I don't want to take a bath! Why do I, a big monster, take a bath!"
"Mr. Cat, you got drunk and rolled in the mud pit recently! Several footprints of yours appeared in the room recently!"
"How can you say it's mine! Maybe it belongs to some other monster! Natsume, you'll wrong me! Woowawa, I don't want to take a bath!"
"Aside from Mr. Kitty, what other monsters have footprints like yours!"
Listening to the sound coming from the bathroom, the little white cat lying on the bed also emitted a faint light.
The white light dissipated, and the little white cat turned into a girl in a dress, her curly hair neatly stuck to her temples, her big glasses blinked, she picked up the milk that Natsume had prepared for her, and took a sip Take a small sip of the delicacy specially given to her.
Hearing the miserable meow from the bathroom again, the little white cat sighed, "Men are all fools."
After finally washing it out, Natsume's whole body was soaked. He was just about to find a change of clothes. After taking two steps, Natsume suddenly realized that something was wrong!Wait, where did the little white cat that was on the cushion go?Why is it now a little girl in a dress.
As soon as Mr. Cat saw it, he jumped up and kicked Natsume with his claws, "You actually brought a monster!"
Natsume: I was wronged!I didn't realize she was a monster at all!
Teacher Cat: Natsume, the big pig's trotter!Do you want to change a bodyguard!Believe it or not, I ran away from home!
Seeing how lively they were, the little girl that the little white cat turned into laughed instead, "Your relationship is really enviable."
Natsume and Mr. Cat, who subconsciously wanted to refute, turned their heads together, and saw the little girl who was about to cry, "That...what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, Natsume...Your name is Natsume, right!" The little girl stood up, lifted the corner of her skirt and saluted Natsume, "Thank you very much, Natsume-sama."
"It's okay." Natsume waved his hand, then looked over curiously, "By the way, why are you in that kind of place?"
If it was a monster, how could it be so miserable?Could it be that he encountered some kind of exorcist?
The little girl looked a little ashamed. She stroked her hair, "I just came out of the Earl's shop and got lost by accident."
Hearing the Earl's words, for some reason, the man's bright red lips immediately appeared in Natsume's mind, "Is it Earl D?"
"Eh? You know the earl?!" The little girl's glasses lit up instantly, and she looked at Natsume, "Can I trouble you to send me back? I liked you before, but you have such I'm an adult, and it's not easy for me to intervene."
Being said that, Natsume was also taken aback for a moment, he looked at it and jumped to say something, of course a little elf like you is not worthy to replace my lord.
Even though the hair on his body hasn't been blown dry yet, Mr. Cat doesn't even know how funny he looks.But, indeed, it is enough for him to have Mr. Cat alone.
"Then I'll take you back with Mr. Cat." Natsume picked up the little girl and said to Mr. Cat, "Let's go."
Although Natsume didn't pick her up, Mr. Cat still jumped and climbed directly onto Natsume's shoulder.
"Wow, Mr. Cat, are you getting heavier and heavier?"
"No!"
"But my shoulders were pressed down by you."
"That means Natsume, you need to exercise, hehe, be careful that you have frozen shoulder at a young age."
Hearing such an unreasonable answer from Mr. Cat, Natsume almost wanted to sigh.
At the same time, I was also thinking about the recent matter of controlling my diet for Mr. Cat.
First of all, steamed buns and ice cream must be restrained first.Oh, and watermelon should also be reduced, and... well, the number of drinking should also be controlled, or you will have a beer belly sooner or later.
Mr. Cat, who knew nothing about it, shuddered for some reason, because he always felt as if he was being watched by something strange.
********
By the time he walked to Kabukicho again, Natsume was no longer as nervous as last time.Walking in front of Earl D's pet shop, Natsume took a deep breath, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Coming~" The red-haired man with horns on his head that I saw last time opened the door, and his eyes glowed when he noticed that Natsume was standing at the door. "Hey, it's the cutie from last time."
Subconsciously shivering, Natsume froze at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.
But the one called Ah Che didn't really intend to eat Natsume, he just licked the corner of his mouth, opened the door a little wider, "Come in."
"Hit, I'm sorry."
As soon as he walked to the door, the cat teacher on Natsume's shoulder jumped down directly. As soon as he landed, Natsume saw a great change in the cat teacher.
She has silver-white hair, golden vertical pupils, and a little stubble on her chin. Although she looks a little lazy, she is as calm and steady as a sword in and out of its sheath.
"...Mr. Kitty?" Natsume asked uncertainly. Although he had never seen him before, but for some reason, he was very sure that the man in his eyes was Mr. Kitty.
"Ah!" The man closed one eye, scratched his hair and answered Natsume's question.
"Mr. Cat, how did you turn into a human?!"
"The special incense here can make monsters and some animals directly into human form." Teacher Cat briefly explained, then raised his hand and patted Natsume on the head, "It's a rare time, I'll go find someone I know If you're drunk, call me again if you need anything."
Looking up at the human figure of Mr. Cat, Natsume was stunned for a moment, and then saw Mr. Cat, who seemed to be familiar with the people here, walking to the door inside.
"Ah, wasn't that Madara-sama just now? Earl D also came out with a tea set in his hand. He looked at the little girl who was still being held by Natsume and smiled, "So you picked up the little princess." , Come in, Madara-sama will get very drunk every time he comes over. "
From Earl D's tone, it seemed that Mr. Cat often came to bother him. Natsume scratched his head subconsciously, "Well, does Mr. Cat come here often?"
"Mr. Kitty?" Earl D's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly realized that this was the address for Madara, "I didn't expect Master Madara to choose you."
After receiving the tea from Earl D, Natsume closed his eyes and smelled the mellow tea scent. When he looked away, he happened to see the envelope on the table.
"Curious about this?"
Earl D picked up the envelope and looked at Natsume. Seeing the boy nodding unconsciously, he smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I don't know...have you heard of Higan and Takamahara?"
Hearing the familiar words again, Natsume looked over instantly and noticed the smile on Earl D's mouth.
Did you hear it?
"Teacher Cat once said something, but I don't know very well." Natsume lowered his head, he felt his own heartbeat.As expected, he still cared about... what Mr. Cat had never told him.
"As I said before, I met Reiko, she became a civil servant on the other side after her death..."
Natsume sat on the sofa, listening to Earl D talking about many, many things, about the other shore, about his grandmother, and about... the world where monsters exist.
"Reiko is a human being that I find it hard to dislike. Although she is confused and arrogant, and likes to be merciful, all the young ladies and gentlemen here will never forget her, but there is no doubt that she is an interesting human being. " After drinking the last sip of tea, D concluded, looking at Natsume, "You are the same, if one day, you choose a monster, you can come to me."
"Humans are like mayflies to us, like fireflies with beautiful luster. Although they are attractive enough, for monsters, life is too short."
Although, some monsters are willing to fly moths to the flames for this short hundred years, but what is left in the end is only endless sorrow.
Don't get married, it will only increase sadness.
Monsters are different from human beings. After human beings die, they will re-enter reincarnation, but when monsters die, they have nothing.
"You... what do you mean?" Natsume looked at Earl D, he could feel what the other party was implying, but what exactly was the other party talking about?He can't guess.
"When you find out later, you will come to me again." Earl D still
