Goodbye, Friends Book [comprehensive]

Clam demon?Water bell?

Never heard of it.

It sounds like it's harmless to humans.

"What will happen if the water bell is taken by humans?"

"Hmm..." Madara thought for a while and said, "The ground is fine, but the closer it is to the water, the greater the impact. Generally speaking, clam monsters are generally kind, unless someone deliberately uses them."

"Oh……"

Natsume threw the towel aside, dried her hair with a hairdryer, and lay down on the bed.

Then Hanazawa Xiaoya should be fine.

jingle……

"Where is the wind chime?"

jingle……

"Why is the wind chime in the water?"

jingle……

"Because I'm in the water."

"Why are you in the water?"

"Because I'm waiting for you."

Gollum...

The sound of a series of water bubbles.

Natsume is at the bottom of the ocean world, looking at the gorgeous scenery that only Ocean Park can see.

All kinds of colorful small fish and big fish swam around, but none of them seemed to see him, and even passed through his body.

Where?

Natsume was a little confused.

Turning his eyes around, he found a large clam shell slowly opening not far away, revealing a water bell he had picked up.

This is the clam demon?

Natsume couldn't help swimming forward, reached out to touch it, and it penetrated.

This should be the memory of the clam demon?

Gollum...

There was another burst of bubbles. Natsume followed the sound and saw two figures, one big and one small, swimming slowly in diving suits. They should be father and daughter.

Are Hanazawa father and daughter?

The father and daughter made a gesture that Natsume couldn't understand, and then saw the tall one swimming towards the clam demon, stretched out his hand, and slowly and carefully placed a stone the size of an egg on the side of the clam shell.

The frightened clam shell immediately closed its shell, but was stuck by a stone.

The man made an ok gesture, and the father and daughter rolled the clam monster together, shook out the water bell, and after they succeeded, they hugged in the water, turned and swam away.

"Damn human!!!"

The angry voice was accompanied by many streaks of blood flowing out of the shell, and Natsume could hear how angry the other party was from the vibration of the water.

"I will never let you go!"

The clam demon, who had transformed into a human form in the water, crushed the stone in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stared viciously at the backs of the Huaze father and daughter who were fading away, as if there was some reason for not catching up.

"Be good, baby, father will definitely bring the water bell back, just wait patiently."

The clam demon bent down, and Natsume saw that there was a small clam under his feet, about the size of a palm.

The other party hid the clam in the coral, and then made a few hand gestures similar to the enchantment, and then turned around and left.

The water bell was snatched by Huaze and his daughter from the clam demon. If you like it so much, why did you throw it in the water?And he was sick, did the clam demon find him?did something

Natsume was confused, he felt it was necessary to go to the hospital to see Xiaoya Hanazawa to understand the situation.

It was still the end of the internal activities of the after-school club, and Shinobu and Atobe were worried about following. Akutagawa Jirou himself knew Hanazawa Xiaoma very well, so he would naturally go, so the four of them went together.

Hua Zeyang happened to be there too, and when he knocked on the door and entered, he was peeling oranges, and the orange peels all over the room smelled sour.

"Uncle Huaze, I'm here, Xiaoya, long time no see~"

The gift Akutagawa Jiro brought was his favorite pastry. He loves to eat Xiaoya's cakes, but he usually makes some at home and brings them to the store for them to taste.

"Long time no see, Cirou~"

Huaze Xiaoya smiled weakly, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, and she was as skinny as a skinny person. The 15-year-old young girl looked haggard and looked older than 20 years old, her skin was wrinkled and dry. Tangerine skin.

"What's wrong with Xiaoya? Why did she become like this after not seeing her for a few days? Is it serious?"

Akutagawa Jiro was also taken aback, aging is not so fast.

"The doctor checked and said it was dehydration."

Hua Zeyang was very helpless, and also very inexplicable, Xiaoya always drank eight glasses of water a day, more than anyone else, even more since she came back from the sea last time, so he didn't understand why Xiaoya still had this disease?Where did all the water she drank go?

"This is the initial symptom."

Madara followed without worry, but only Atobe and Natsume could hear what he said.

"What initial symptoms?"

Natsume took a few steps back to the corner, not disturbing their reminiscence.

"Although the water bell has the effect of confusing people, its function is not used in this regard."

"Where is that?"

"This kind of clam monster only produces this water bell in its life. It's like a pink pearl. To humans, it's just a beautiful and valuable ornamental object, but to clam monsters, it's a toy for their children. , and it is necessary."

"must?"

"Their children have to rely on the water bell to transform into a human form, otherwise they will never get out of the water in this life."

"No wonder..."

No wonder the clam demon was so angry.

"The water bell is inseparable from water. On land, it will naturally look for water sources to keep it as it is. The dehydration of the little girl should be caused by the water bell absorbing too much water in her body."

"Then Huaze Xiaoya found out and threw the bell away?"

"It's useless to throw it away. The water bell recognizes it and steals the human breath from the clam monster. It can absorb it no matter how far away it is for the first connection."

"No way to solve it?"

"Yes, unless the clam demon comes in person."

Natsume frowned, if the clam monster came in person, wouldn't it hurt Hanazawa Xiaoya?

"Natsume."

Akutagawa Jirou was suddenly startled, "Xiaoya said she threw the beads into the toilet and flushed them away!!"

"what?!!"

Natsume and Madara exclaimed at the same time, wishing they could rush to the toilet to see if they could get it back.

"Stupid!!!" Ban Kuai exploded in anger, "Throw away the water bell and the clam demon can't find you, just wait for death!"

"Teacher Kitty, calm down, calm down!" Natsume hugged Madara Sho tightly and ran to scratch Xiaoya Hanazawa on impulse.

"You humans are all idiots! Idiots!!"

Madara had a face full of hatred that iron could not become steel.

But no matter how angry he was, Huaze Xiaoya couldn't help it if she couldn't hear it. The first thing to do was to find out where the water bell was washed.

"I know where."

Renzu is very familiar with the hospital. This hospital happens to be where his father works, and he often comes here as if at home. What he knows is a living map.

However, Xiaoya Huaze threw it away immediately after taking the water bell yesterday. It took a long time, so this time she can only go to the sewer to find it.

So Shinozu led Natsume and Atobe around, jumping directly into the sewer without fear of getting dirty clothes. Others couldn't see it, and it was useless to go there.

Finding a coin-sized water bell in the sewer is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but fortunately there is a cat teacher with a sensitive nose, sniffing carefully, and finally found it in the mouse's mouth.

Natsume wiped it off with his sleeve, carefully put it in the inner pocket of the bag, and heaved a sigh of relief.Then look at the clothes of the three people, all of them are dirty and have a bad smell.

"Hahaha……"

Really embarrassing.

"What should I do after I find it?"

"According to what you said, the clam monster should be injured, so it won't be too far from the water."

Natsume told Madara what he saw, but taking the water bell would not make the clam monster vomit blood, so the other party was injured before.

"The clam demon will only let the water bell that has absorbed enough water come back by itself."

Natsume was taken aback, enough water?

"Hanazawa Xiaoya... Will she die?"

"If no one helps her, yes."

"How to do?"

"Let her accept the water bell and apologize to the clam demon herself."

"accept?"

"It's too late to make it clear, let's go back quickly."

"Ah."

Three people and one cat came and went and returned to the ground in a hurry.

Wearing stinky clothes, the nurse would definitely not let them into the ward. In desperation, she had no choice but to take them to the bathroom in the hospital, take a shower and dry them off, put on a temporary bathrobe and rush over. But it was still a step late, Hua Ze Xiaoya had fallen into a deep coma and was being rescued.

They were kept out and there was nothing they could do.

"Mr. Cat, what should I do?"

If Hanazawa Xiaoya really...

"That's up to you, Natsume."

"I?"

"The water bell is not only a toy for the little clam demon, he will practice here until he grows up."

"what?!"

Natsume was taken aback. He thought the water bell was just a bell, but he didn't expect it to be the mobile home of the little clam demon?

"Close your eyes, slowly input your spiritual power into it, don't think about anything else, you can connect to the little guy inside."

"……I try my best."

Natsume took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly poured in spiritual power to let go of his thoughts as Mr. Cat said.

Gollum...

The sound of bubbling keeps rising to the surface.

Natsume felt suffocated at first, and then felt as cool as eating mint leaves.

jingle……

The sound of the bell is very crisp and clear, just like the innocent laughter of a child.

"Where is the wind chime?"

It was a little girl's voice, and it came from all directions, making Natsume confused about where the main body was.

"Where is the wind chime?"

The little girl continued to ask, her voice flickering from far away to near.

Natsume opened his mouth, and after confirming that he could make a sound, he said, "The wind chimes are here with me."

"Why is the wind chime in the water?"

"Because I'm in the water."

"Why are you in the water."

"Because I'm waiting for you."

"Why are you waiting for me?"

"Because I want to see you."

"why the need to see me?"

"I want to exchange the wind chime for you."

"Huh? Really?"

Suddenly a phantom appeared, and a four or five-year-old girl with braids looked at him with a smile, "Don't you like bells?"

"I like it, but it doesn't belong to me."

"Then why did she take me away from my father? I hate her."

Natsume was speechless, he couldn't explain.
