Takashi Natsume stretched after finishing his homework at last.In order to have more time to prepare for the school festival, I had no choice but to do my homework at night.

"Huh? What time is it? Where did Mr. Cat go?"

Just as he was talking, the window was pushed open from the outside.

"I'm-back-come." A fat white three-coloured cat kicked its hind legs and jumped directly onto the cushion in the room.

"Mr. Kitty, where did you go to steal food again today?" Takashi Natsume got up and closed the window.

"I didn't steal it." Teacher Cat strongly protested Natsume Takashi's accusation.

Natsume Takashi sat cross-legged next to the cat teacher, "What's that scum around the beard?"

ah?Teacher Cat hastily stretched out his short front paws to wipe his mouth.

"It was given to me by the other party!" Mr. Cat insisted.

"Which one?"

The place Natsume was in was a small place, and everyone knew each other well.

"An unusual black hair." Teacher Cat thought for a long time, and finally came up with this adjective.

"Huh?" Natsume Takashi wondered who this is.Probably not my classmate.The black-haired classmate and the face-blind cat teacher can still remember the name.

"Mr. Cat, who is Hei Mao?"

"I don't know, you humans all look the same and you can't tell them apart. It's not easy to remember the color of your hair!" Teacher Cat wanted to go to the closet to get a drink.

"Wait, Mr. Cat, you hid the wine in my cabinet again. If Aunt Tazi finds out, she thinks I'm drinking underage."

Natsume Takashi has possessed powerful spiritual power since he was a child, and can see monsters that others cannot see.Because both of his parents died, he lived among relatives who shirked responsibility all the year round.Fortunately, Natsume Takashi has now met a gentle couple, Shigeru Fujiwara and Toko Fujiwara.They know that Natsume can see things that others can't, but they are still friendly to Natsume.So Natsume Takashi didn't want Aunt Tako to worry too much.

"You won't find out after drinking it." Teacher Cat didn't care about Natsume's worries at all.

The previous time when Natsume was being chased by monsters, he broke the seal of a monster called Madara.In order to protect the "Book of Friends" left by her grandmother Reiko, Natsume and "Madara" made an agreement to replace the ownership of the "Book of Friends" with guarding the "Book of Friends".

Over the years, "Madara" has been assimilated by being sealed in the Lucky Cat, and is now a fat white three-colored cat.Relying on its own strength, it asked Natsume Takashi to call it the cat teacher.

Now Mr. Cat is the bodyguard of the account of friends, and it is this bodyguard who often skips work.

"So? Teacher Cat, did you meet Kaname Tanuma?" Natsume Takashi thought for a while, and only Tanuma-san had black hair among his friends.That Jingji Chang also has black hair, but Natsume Takashi believes that Mr. Cat will never eat the food he gives.

"Stupid! Of course I remember those classmates of yours." Teacher Cat turned his wine glass with his front paws, "Sake is really delicious, but it's a pity that I haven't had the dragon's wine when the moon is full for a long time."

Teacher Mao said that Longzhiniang is the best wine in the world. It must be a fine wine that can only be brewed by a thousand-year-old dragon. It can only be drunk on the night of the full moon, and it is usually bitter spring water.

Natsume Takashi doesn't care what kind of wine is good, he cares more about who the cat met just now.

"teacher!"

Teacher Cat tasted the sake, "There are two people, one with black hair and the other with white hair. It seems that they want to come to you, so I will remember their appearance seriously."

Natsume Takashi is helpless, is the hair color the only thing Mr. Kitty remembers seriously?

The person with white hair, Natsume thought for a while as if he didn't know him.

"It's so late, looking for me? Who is it?" Natsume was a little distressed.

"Don't worry, they're staying at the broken shrine tonight, and they won't be here until tomorrow morning. We'll know who it is then." Teacher Cat didn't care.

Break the shrine?Is there a broken shrine in the nearby forest?He doesn't seem to have seen it.

Did Mr. Cat go far away today?

"Ah!" Natsume Takashi suddenly remembered that Aunt Xia You, who took care of him before, said that his son Xia Youjie and his classmates would come to his school festival.

Although Natsume couldn't understand why the ordinary school festival in his school had to come all the way from Tokyo.

But if you think about it, it's only a few days.

When he was young, Xia You's family treated him very well. If Uncle Xia You didn't want to go abroad to work later, maybe he would have stayed in their family forever.

As long as I can remember, I have been used to being bullied by children, and some rough children even punched and kicked.

Every time Natsume Takashi hid in the big concrete pipe, watching the happy children in groups in the park.

I really want to join them.

"Strange kid, stay away from us!"

"Mom, there is a child talking to the air."

"Stay away from him."

......

No matter how many environments he changed, everyone was afraid of him.

I have to stay until late every day before going back, pretending to have a good time playing with the children.

When he was young, only brother Xia Youjie could understand him.It seems that the other party is the only one who is not afraid of himself.

"I can see it too. Don't be afraid, Natsume." Xia Youjie, who was a few months older than him, said quietly, "Don't tell your parents."

After a few times, Natsume Takashi found that Xia Youjie's brother couldn't see monsters at all.

The monster he described was different from what Takashi Natsume saw.

It was just to comfort him.

It's great that little Natsume Takashi accepted Xia Youjie's little kindness.

Not only that, Xia Youjie would rush up to rescue him, and take his hand to go home together.

"Don't cry! A man must speak with his strength and be the strongest!" The young Xia Youjie was astonishing.

Although there is some blood relationship, the personalities of the two people seem really different.

Natsume Takashi still remembers the scene of him playing with Xia You's son when he was a child.

When I was young, the other party was the only one who was not afraid of himself.

Now I have met many kind people here, but the memories of my childhood are also warm enough.

It's been too long, and the memory is a little fuzzy, only the back of the young Xia Youjie when he was pulling him home.

Wait a moment, Natsume Takashi remembered that the other party had black hair.

The white-haired one is likely to be the other party's classmate.

Oh no!How can they be allowed to live in a dilapidated shrine?Are you lost?

"Teacher Cat, get up!" Natsume Takashi hurriedly put on his coat.

The cat teacher who was drinking was caught. He still didn't understand what happened, "What's the matter? You're in a panic? Takashi Natsume."

"Let's go find them."

Teacher Cat grabbed the cushion and refused to let go, "Why? I happen to be a little bit drunk, and I feel comfortable sleeping with this feeling."

"Is that black head someone around my age?" Natsume said while putting on his shoes.

"Don't let the monster tell your age, idiot!" Mr. Cat was very irritable after being robbed of the wine glass.

Natsume Takashi put Teacher Kitty on his shoulders and quietly jumped out of the window.

Now that Aunt Tazi and his wife have rested, he has to keep his voice down so as not to disturb them.

One person and one cat quietly left the house.

"We'll come back when we find them. They probably came to visit my Xia Youjie and his classmates." Natsume Guizhi explained to Teacher Mao.

"Well, I can see that this person is much more interesting than you." Teacher Cat thought to himself that he even opened a can for himself to eat just now.That white hair is a bit annoying.

There seems to be a lot of food in the black fur backpack, is it a visiting snack for Natsume Takashi?

Not bad!

Teacher Cat has also decided.

"Hurry up, Natsume. We'll go back when we find them." Teacher Cat jumped off Natsume Takashi's shoulder and ran to lead the way.

They ran for a long time in the forest, but still did not find the shadow of the broken shrine.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Cat." Natsume Takashi was out of breath.He put his hands on his knees and called out to Mr. Cat.

Mr. Cat jumped on Natsume Takashi's shoulder, "The physical strength is too weak, haven't you developed your physical strength after being chased by monsters for so many years?"

"Teacher, we've been running for a long time. Where is that dilapidated shrine? I'm familiar with the forest nearby. There shouldn't be any dilapidated shrines."

"Just around here, those two people even lit the hearth. I also ate red bean buns there."

"The hearth? That's really an ancient shrine." Natsume sighed.

Teacher Cat continued to guide the direction, but Natsume Takashi still didn't find Xia Youjie and the others.

"It should be near here." Teacher Cat couldn't find the shrine either.

"If they lighted the hearth, we should be able to see it in the dark." Natsume climbed to the high ground on the hillside, and there was a dark forest as far as the eye could see.

"It's strange. Could it be that we are going in the wrong direction." Teacher Cat changed into his original form, "Jump up, walking too slowly."

Natsume rode "Madara" and went around without seeing the broken shrine with a light source.

Suddenly "Madara" stopped in one place, "There is something weird nearby."

"What's wrong?" Natsume Takashi looked down.

It's just an ordinary forest, nothing special about it.

"If my memory serves me right, the shrine should be here. But..."

Natsume Takashi believes in the feeling of Mr. Cat very much.

"Let's go down and see."

After landing, Natsume Takashi called loudly, "Brother Xia Youjie——Brother Xia Youjie! I'm Natsume Takashi!"

He listened for a while, but there was no response.

In the night wind, there are only empty echoes.

Suddenly Natsume Takashi saw rows of torches lit up on the distant mountain peaks.

"There!" Natsume Takashi said happily.

Teacher Cat looked up at the phase of the moon, and called out to Takashi Natsume, "That's the monster going to the rally, the legendary Hyakki Night Walk."

"Is it a monster? Isn't it Brother Xia Youjie and the others?" Xia Mu Guizhi was a little worried. Xia Youjie and his classmates hadn't been found for so long.

Maybe they met a difficult monster.

"Cat teacher......"

"It's very likely that they are trapped in an enchantment." Mr. Cat remembered that when it went to steal red bean buns, the shadows of the two people on the wall seemed not quite right.

At that time, it only cared about eating and didn't notice it.Now that I think about it, something was wrong.

Even if it is an enchantment, it was able to enter before, but why can't it enter now?And can't find it.

"Let's go to C, she will know more about this situation." Teacher Cat remembered who it could turn to for help,

Bing is a powerful humanoid monster nearby who is proficient in spells and knows more about monsters.

Teacher Kitty becomes "Madara", "Hold on tight, Natsume!"
