Scissors that cut out cause and effect

The group opened up and came to the forefront of the transfer student battlefield.

"Hina Asamori, you came just in time. Tonight is the test of courage organized by us. Come and participate."

"Yes, yes, come and participate, as a mutual exchange of classmates' feelings!" After listening to the monitor's words, the students who had not dispersed around also echoed.

Asamori Hina nodded in agreement, with her head down, she couldn't see the expression on her face.But her agreement also made everyone happy. After the communication just now, although this new girl was a little shy and afraid to communicate with others, she was not very out of the ordinary.

"You too, Natsume, remember to come over tonight."

"understood."

It is really a troublesome existence for Natsume to agree to this matter.There are many monsters lurking in the dark night of summer. If it is not necessary, Natsume will never choose to go out at this time, but now, there is already this "necessity".

When the class bell rang, the people around the transfer student finally dispersed, and Natsume was able to see the appearance of the transfer student.

ah! !Isn't this the girl I met yesterday?The girl who claims that Taozi can see monsters like herself.I thought I would never meet her again, but I didn't expect her to come to the same class as a transfer student.What luck.Natsume thought so.

However, thinking about it this way, Natsume remembered her name that the squad leader said, which was clearly different from what she learned yesterday.It seemed that the other party was not as excited as he was to see his companion.

It's really troublesome, I finally met someone similar to myself, but I don't know how to get close at this time.

It was also at this time that Natsume realized that not everyone who can see monsters is the same as himself.For example, the monitor invited her to participate in the test of courage just now. It was a troublesome thing for her, but she agreed without hesitation.

After school.Asamori Hina rejected the classmate who invited her to go home with her, and went to the small shrine in the forest alone.Unable to tell what mood she was in, Natsume sneaked behind her and found that this was the ancestral hall where they met yesterday.

Asamori Hina took out two fresh fruits from her schoolbag and put them in front of the shrine.Those peaches that were placed yesterday are gone.

"Is there something wrong?" Asamori Hina asked softly, facing the ancestral hall.

There was no one else here except her and Natsume.And since Lushen disappeared, there are very few other monsters here.

Natsume knew that she was asking him.

"Sorry, I just..."

"What's the matter?" It was still the same question.

"Well... I'm glad we can be in the same class." This is indeed Natsume's sincere words. No matter whether the two of them are familiar with each other now, or whether they can become friends, Natsume still wants to have someone around him who can understand him.

"Yesterday, you said your name was Tao Zi, but your name was Asamori Hina. There is no connection between the two."

"That's just a title. Humans are different from monsters. Even if the name is written in the friend account, it is impossible to order it by name, isn't it? I chose the name Taozi because I admit that I exist as an individual as Taozi."

"Well... isn't it because yesterday's tribute was a peach? If the two of us met today, the name would be Apple or something..." Really!Natsume didn't want to specify it so clearly, but when she asked the girl's name yesterday, she obviously glanced at Taozi as a tribute before saying her name.

Of course, what I got after saying this was the angry stare of the girl when she got up.

"Hold... sorry... I didn't mean to think this way. Wait! How do you know about the account of friends!?" He obviously didn't tell anyone, and only Mr. Cat and the monsters knew about it...

"The monster in the forest told me. In exchange for the food I gave them, don't worry, I have no interest in that book."

After learning that the girl knew about the existence of the account of friends, Natsume was ready to protect her schoolbag at all times, and was ready to run away.He wants to return all the names in the friend account to the monsters. If other monsters take them away, the monsters in the friend account may be persecuted or driven, which is what he does not want to see.But now, as a human being, he can also see monsters at the same time. Natsume can't be sure whether the other party has good intentions. Therefore, he is not prepared to tell the story of the friend's account, just like he did to Tanuma.But unexpectedly, the monster in the forest said it himself!

Fortunately, Asamori Hina was not interested in this.

"Then Asamori-san is really planning to participate in the test of courage tonight?"

"No."

Surprisingly, Natsume actually heard such an answer.

"Then why did you promise to those people in the class?"

"I just don't want them to continue entanglement."

Natsume tried to think about the attitude the squad leader would have if he refused, and felt a little annoyed.

"But it's already agreed!"

"Humanity's agreement... there is no need to abide by it."

Natsume looked at the girl and said this, the belief that she had firmly established all the year round and the girl's belief created a huge gap between them, separating the two of them far away, as if they were in two worlds.Even though the distance between the two can be reached with only a few steps, Natsume is afraid to take this step.

Just as the girl said, Natsume didn't see her in the night's courage test until the start of the meeting.

At school the next day, the class monitor ran aggressively to ask Asamori Hina why she didn't come, but she dismissed her with "something happened suddenly at home".

Natsume didn't know if there was something wrong with her family, but it was true that she didn't come at night.As she said herself.

The people Hina Asamori and Natsume have met so far are different.

After school, Asamori Hina went to Lushen Shrine again.Continue to display the tribute she brought.

She wanted to get close, but she didn't dare to get close. She wanted to know more about her, but she didn't know how to act.With such a complicated mood, Natsume followed Hina Asamori again, but this time, she followed in a fair and honest manner.Asamori Hina found out, but didn't say anything.

Seeing her laying out the tribute, Natsume couldn't help but speak.

"You should know that there is no..."

Lushen had already disappeared on that summer day, and this ancestral hall has never been occupied by other monsters.

"Once a person has faith in something, there will be corresponding monsters. Most monsters are born because of this, whether they are friendly, full of desire, or evil. And also because of human beings, Some of them are strong, some of them are weak."

Hina Asamori said that, but she didn't turn to look at Natsume.However, Natsume could hear a trace of tenderness in her voice.At this moment, the tribute placed in front of the ancestral hall fell down for some reason.

Natsume looked carefully, it was a monster like a water drop, about the size of an egg, no, it should be lowercase.The body is also transparent like water drops.The tribute that just fell was probably caused by this little monster accidentally.

Asamori Hina picked up the little thing and put it in the palm of her hand, came to Natsume and showed him the little monster.

"Look, because of the faith of both of us, this little guy appeared."

"Eh?"

It was the first time for Natsume to know about this aspect. Since he was the only one who didn't understand how monsters came into being, it was inevitable that he would be so surprised.What's more, she also said that this is a monster born because of the belief of the two of them...

Thinking of this, Natsume looked at the monster in Hina Asamori's hand with a curious face, and finally poked the little monster with her finger.It's like poking a drop of water, but this drop of water is much bigger than the normal one.Natsume's fingers passed through the little monster's body, and the little monster's body expanded to the surrounding area because of Natsume's move.

Natsume withdrew his hand and found that the finger poking at the little monster was already wet.And the water drop monster staying in Hina Asamori's hands fell into Natsume's hands because of Natsume's actions, and kept giggling like a child being tickled.

"This monster..."

"Pfft, I lied to you."

"Eh?" Natsume was surprised, first of all because Hina Asamori laughed out loud, and also because she didn't expect her to lie to him so seriously.

"It's probably a lost little monster. He was hungry and ran here when he saw there was food."

"I thought it was really..."

"You are so innocent, you even believe such an obvious lie."

It was hard for Natsume to refute, because he thought what she said about youkai was so true.

Asamori Hina put the water drops on the ancestral hall, Wen Sheng said to the little monster: "You stay here, I will bring delicious fruits over tomorrow."

Shuizhu seemed to understand what she said, and raised her thin and thread-like hands to circle around the fruit she brought today.By the way, its legs are also as thin as a thread.Natsume wondered whether those two wires could support its slightly plump body.

Well, this looks the same as Mr. Cat, but Mr. Cat is lucky. He has four short legs, and he can run at a good speed. It can be seen that such a figure is not a problem for Mr. Cat.

Asamori Hina and Mizuzu agreed to come back tomorrow, and left the ancestral hall without even saying "goodbye" to Natsume, and left alone.

Hina Asamori left, but Mizu
