Scissors that cut out cause and effect

began to bloom in the sky.

Asamori looked out at the night sky from the courtyard of his home.The fireworks of this festival tonight are so huge that everyone in the town can see them at home, and Asamori is no exception.

"There...it must be very lively."

Asamori sat on the wooden porch in the courtyard and whispered secretly.Natsume is probably there too.

"Master Asamori, please don't go out recently."

There is a person kneeling behind Asamori, and with the light from the fireworks, the appearance of that person is faintly visible.The short hair that just covered her ears was neatly trimmed, with bangs on her forehead, and her petite figure showed that she was just a child.

"Today, a lot of exorcising demon masters came to the town, and they haven't left yet."

"Well, I know."

Asamori replied softly.It's just that the eyes are always staring at the sky, admiring the fleeting fireworks.

A moving body came from the room behind him, and Asamori looked back, it turned out to be his grandmother.Asamori immediately got up and came to her side, holding her with one hand to prevent her from falling.

"Don't worry, I still have no problem walking." Asamori's grandmother patted Asamori's hand supporting her, trying to wipe away Asamori's worries.

"It's you, don't you go out with your classmates on such a lively day today?"

"Because I was worried about you. Are you feeling better now?"

"I know my own body the best, and there is no problem now, so you should go out with your classmates at ease." Grandma Asamori came to the corridor with Asamori and sat down, "Or, still... Haven't made any friends?"

Hearing her grandmother talking about this topic, Asamori couldn't help but think of the boy who could see monsters - Natsume.After getting along for such a long time, it can be regarded as a little understanding of Natsume's personality, so Asamori is willing to show the ability he got from a certain monster to Natsume.

People who know each other's secrets should be called friends, right?

Asamori thought so, and answered his grandmother's question in the affirmative.

"The students in this town are very kind-hearted and have already made friends."

"Really?" Grandma Asamori expressed some doubts, "You didn't like talking to people since you were a child, so you just treated me better. Before you came over, your parents said that there was still no change."

"Then next time, I'll bring my friends over to let you have a look."

"Really!? Be sure to tell me in advance, I will cook a delicious meal to greet them."

"Of course, you go and rest." It's the end of summer and early autumn, and the weather is turning cold. Even after sitting in the courtyard of his home for a while, Asamori still couldn't help thinking about his grandmother's health, and took her back to the bedroom go to bed.

Grandma Asamori, who had re-covered the quilt, looked at Asamori helplessly, but said "good night" without saying anything, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Asamori came to the door of the room and turned off the lights in the room.He turned around and said "good night" to his grandmother, then walked out of the room to close the door.At this moment, the fireworks that bloomed again illuminated the entire room.Asamori's pupils shrank, and he could clearly see the "threads" extending from his grandmother's body again.Many of them have already been disconnected, and even if there are still many left, they are still in a tight state and may break at any time.

When all the "threads" are broken, it means that she no longer has a "fate" with this world.

Grandma's time is running out.

This existence that gave her a lot of warmth when Asamori was young will also disappear.

This is why Asamori chose to transfer to this town.At least, in the last time of my grandmother, I can be by her side.

The ability obtained from that monster can only cut the "thread", but can never repair the "thread".

※※※

On the first day Asamori returned to school after taking leave, he invited Natsume and others to visit her home together.

This is the first time she invited a classmate to her home, and she didn't even know how to invite her.Finally, Asamori made small cards and put them in the drawers of the students to be invited.Therefore, on this day, she came very early.

In Asamori's impression, things like placing cards cannot be seen by too many people.

After making sure that the cards were safely in the inviter's drawer, Asamori returned to his seat, took out a book and opened it, waiting for the arrival of other students.

Well, in fact, she was just waiting for those classmates she invited.

After that, the first one to arrive in the classroom was one of the students on duty that day.When the boy walked into the classroom, he thought he was the first to arrive. He even made a rather exaggerated (xiu) Zhang (chi) gesture at the moment he stepped into the classroom door, in order to celebrate that he was the first to arrive in the classroom today position, and then...then he saw Asamori-san who was looking at him.

"..."

At this moment, the boy's face turned red in an instant, his limbs waved randomly, and he didn't dare to look at Asamori.

What to do? What to do? What to do!That action just now was actually seen by Asamori-san!

The boy was roaring in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and greeted Asamori-san.

"Morning, good morning, ah, classmate Qian Sensensen, you came so early, so early..."

"Well, you're early too." Although Asamori didn't communicate much with his classmates on weekdays, he still didn't lack greetings and the like.

"Then, I'll start tidying up."

"Ok."

Although Asamori was talking with him so calmly, the boy still couldn't forget that Asamori just saw his stupidity in his eyes.For this reason, when cleaning the podium, changing water for flowers, etc., the boys always look at Asamori intentionally or unintentionally.

Asamori-san shouldn't give him a good look when they are facing each other, and look at him as soon as he turns around and think he is a weirdo, right?Probably not...

But every time the boy secretly looked at Asamori, he found that Asamori's eyes were always looking at other places instead of looking at the book in front of her.

How is this going?

Boys sometimes follow Asagi's gaze, but only see a row of empty seats, or the sky outside the window.Until the students entered the classroom one after another, the boy still didn't understand what Asamori was looking at.Later, the boy forgot about it because he was playing around with his friends.

Among the invited people, the first one to come to the classroom was the monitor, Jun Sasada. As the monitor, she naturally belonged to the group who came earlier.After arriving in the classroom, Sasada did not immediately check to see if there was anything in the drawer, but put down his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.

When nearly half of the people in the class came, Sasada returned to the classroom and took his place again, only to find the card in the drawer.

Asamori has been observing the monitor's actions.From the moment the class monitor first came to the classroom, Asamori's heart was raised.Inviting someone for the first time, I don't know...whether they will accept.

The squad leader was very curious about this card that suddenly appeared in the drawer, which was obviously not put in by himself. When he opened it, he didn't expect it to be an invitation card that Asamori invited her to play at home!

After reading the content of the card, the class leader looked back at Asamori who was sitting alone in the last seat, and was very excited to come directly to Asamori and tell her that she accepted the invitation.But after thinking about it, if other students knew about this and Asamori had only invited her alone, someone would definitely make a fuss and want to go with her.So, the squad leader held back his excitement, and just turned around and smiled brightly at Asamori.

What does it mean?Because of his nervousness, Asamori hid his entire face behind the book, secretly showing his eyes to look in the direction of the monitor.

I smiled at him, should I agree?Asamori thought.

At the same time, Nishimura and Kitamoto, who had just sat down in their seats, also took out the invitation card given by Asamori from the drawer at the same time.Natsume and Nishimura arrived at the classroom together, but because the seats were at the back, they were attracted by Nishimura's exclamation before they could get to their own seats.

"Natsume Natsume! Look, Asamori-san invited me to her house to play!"

"I have that too!"

The squad leader, who was secretly pleased with himself in his own position, heard this, and found that not only did he receive the invitation card, he was a little bit disappointed, but he also came over and gathered at Asamori's desk.

"I have it too~" The squad leader took out the invitation card he had received and showed it to Nishimura and the others.

"Hey, even the class president was invited. Natsume, you must have one too."

Before Natsume had time to get to his seat, after hearing this, he walked to his seat and took out a drawer. Sure enough, there was a card in it, and it didn't look like one.

Take it out and see that there are three invitation cards in total.

One is Natsume's own, one is Tanuma's, and the other—is for Mr. Kitty?

"Even the fat cat in Natsume's house has an invitation card..." So are they on the same level as the fat cat?

The squad leader didn't pay attention to these, but was rather curious about Asamori's move.

"Why did Asamori-san suddenly invite us?"

"Because... grandma wants to see my friends. You guys, do you accept?"

Because of Asamori's words, all the people who received the invitation were stunned for a moment, and then they showed big smiles.

"Of course, we must go!"

Natsume was a little puzzled, Mr. Kitty had an invitation card, but it was okay to talk about it, but why was Tanuma?Natsume doesn't remember Asamori and Tanuma communicating.

Natsume asked Asamori about this.

"Because I saw that he and Natsume looked very good." Asamori replied.

There are some reasons, you don't need to say it, the two will know
