Seven-year-old Takashi Natsume was running under the sun with his schoolbag on his back.

He crossed avenues, jumped over alleys, once the speed slowed down, he anxiously glanced behind him, and then wiped off his sweat as if he had seen a ghost, and continued to speed up.

Running until the sun rose above his head, the little Takashi Natsume turned four turns in a row, looked back at the entrance of the alley for a long time, finally got his breath out, and hid in the shade to wipe off the dirt on his face and neck. Khan, he straightened out the messy and dirty trousers and clothes that he accidentally dropped while running, and then walked carefully to his current "home".

Natsume Takashi is an orphan.

His parents and grandma and grandpa passed away when he was four or five years old, leaving only a very faint impression on little Natsume. In the following days, he moved to live in various relatives' homes, from this one to the next. Change to that one.

And now the family where Natsume Takashi lives is already the eighth family of relatives.

However, in three years, he moved to eight families, and the unstable life made Xiao Natsume even more eager to get the warmth of family affection, to have a fixed residence and a home.

So he tried his best to be well-behaved, listened to those relatives who were willing to adopt him, and did what he could... But even so, he still couldn't get the love of those kind relatives who adopted him due to those reasons, and was repeated time and time again. Adopted, and sent away again and again.

And the most important reason is that-

Natsume Takashi is a child who can see ghosts and other supernatural creatures with his eyes.

That's why he behaved differently from other children, that's why he said things that others thought were lies, so he was misunderstood and rejected again and again, and then sent away again and again.

Just like it is now.

"Ananda, I'm a little afraid of that kid Kishi..."

When the hand was about to touch the door, the young Natsume heard a conversation between the hostess and the hostess of the family that adopted him, a similar conversation that had also happened in other families where he was fostered before.

"That child... always says some weird things..." The hostess of this family is obviously not a courageous person.

"And I always like to lie... It's obvious that I'm late for fun, but I have to say that I encountered something on the way..."

"... I was cooking soup yesterday, but he dumped it all in one pot... He insisted that someone put something in it just now! I kept watching! Where did someone come from?!" The voice of the hostess became It was so sharp that it hurt the heart of Xiaoxia who was standing outside.

Natsume didn't listen any more, he had listened to this kind of conversation too much, in the end it was nothing more than the husband and wife decided to contact other relatives to send him away...

And he has no right to say no.

He walked around from the front door to the back door, went back to his room silently and wiped away his tears, then dug out the things he brought before coming here and tidied them up again, moved the suitcase out from under the bed, and was always ready to take Walk.

It's nothing to be sad about.

Natsume told himself.

Anyway, he...has gotten used to it...

Natsume folded the clothes he brought and put them in the suitcase, then picked up the only photo he had with his parents and grandma on the bedside, stroked it cherishingly, and put it in, and then , is a relic left to him by his grandmother Natsume Reiko——

A booklet with gibberish and unintelligible ghost symbols, and an ancient sword that belonged to a samurai.

Natsume didn't know what these two things were for, but these were the only things his grandmother left him after all, so he couldn't understand even the symbols on the book, even if the knife was heavy and big. It was hard to carry, and even when he was forced to move from one place to another again and again, he still carried both of them with him.

He tried to open the book again, took a closer look at the ghost symbols on it, and put the book in the suitcase in frustration. Finally, he was looking for a long piece of cloth to put the samurai sword and the suitcase together. Wrap up together.

This is not difficult for Natsume, anyway, he has done it many times, but this time is a bit special——

This time, he drew the knife from its sheath.

The petals of the cherry blossoms were scattered all over the ground, and one of them landed on Natsume's nose.

The young Natsume Takashi stared blankly at the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him. The main colors were black and red. The boy was wearing clothes full of history. The combination of slender eyebrows and small red lips made people People feel noble and beautiful.

"My name is Xiao Karasuma. It is my mission to fight foreign enemies, and I will not change it for a thousand years."

The old-fashioned boy introduced himself to the child holding his scabbard in front of him, then squatted down while the child was staring at him blankly, his eyes were on par with little Natsume:

"With such a similar face, what is your relationship with my master Natsume Reiko?"

Natsume Reiko?

Hearing the name of a familiar person, the tense child relaxed his vigilance, and obediently hugged the scabbard and replied:

"That's my grandmother."

He subconsciously introduced himself: "My name is Natsume Takashi."

"My lord's grandson." Standing in front of Natsume Takashi, Karasuma gave the child an identity.

Children are the least guarded in the world. Sometimes you only need to name someone he knows. As long as there is a familiar name, he will feel that you are no longer a stranger, but "Daddy's" Friends", "people who have a good relationship with mother", "teacher's daughter", etc. Let your guard down for this, and he will regard you as someone who can be trusted.

The little Natsume Takashi is obviously like this. After discovering that the little brother who came out of the scabbard in front of him knew his grandmother, he forgot his vigilance and fear of non-human creatures. On the contrary, because the little brother in front of him was dressed Not too modern, everything else is similar to him, so he wants to talk to this little brother more because he is eager to have a friend:

"You, you know my grandmother?"

"Master Reiko is my master."

"Then, who are you then?"

"I am the God of Sword Fusangshen."

"What is Sword Fusangshen?"

"Sword Fusangshen is..."

Karasuma is a sword full of fatherly love but young on the surface.

Back then, Natsume Reiko was recommended by her friend Moya to join the team of god judges, and she had her own Honmaru and her own sword Fusangshin, and Karasuma was one of them.

After the war, Natsume Reiko, who regarded the swords as her friends, brought the retired swords back to her own world to live and play with the monsters.

What kind of master there is what kind of sword, Reiko is a chic and unrestrained person, so her swords also like to run around away from their master, after Reiko died, the swords changed from human form to sword shape, only The most stable little Karasuma followed Reiko with a knife.

Little Karasuma thought that she would be buried with her master, but she didn't want to be awakened again. Instead, she met Reiko's grandson, a child who looked very similar to Reiko and also inherited Reiko's spiritual talent.

He looked at the fine and dense wounds on the child, looked at his close, trusting, soft and yearning eyes, and knew that the child's parents were gone, and now he was sent to and from relatives, and the old father's sense of responsibility filled his heart. But born——

Karasuma felt that she had the responsibility to raise this child for Natsume Reiko.

……

The appearance of Xiao Karasuma added a lot of color to Xiao Natsume's life.

In just a few days, Xiao Natsume's attitude towards Xiao Karasuma gradually changed from a friend to a relative.

I have to say that apart from being too young and easy to play, Karasuma is really a good father. At least for Natsume, he perfectly replaced the role of father.

Unlike other people who ignore or disdain or be puzzled or full of malice when they see Natsume, Karasuma looks at Natsume with concern and seriousness in his eyes.

He listened carefully to every word little Natsume said, and never interrupted him roughly or interrupted him to directly believe that he was lying. Instead, he waited patiently for Natsume to finish everything he wanted to say, even in When Natsume himself didn't know how to express it, he guided him to express all the views he wanted to express.

Why are you late for school?

Because he saw a group of monsters blocking the middle of the road, he had to choose a long detour.

Why push the same table?

Because a monster rushed towards him, he pushed him away to avoid the monster's injury.

And what a father will do is not only listening, but also solving.

Karasuma knows youkai. When Reiko came to Honmaru, she brought a group of youkai with her. She also lived in Honmaru. Karasuma also made many friends with youkai.

He didn't dare to let the young Natsume go to Yahara to meet the monsters, but guided him to leave the leftovers in the kitchen after dinner, thus attracting the monster "Zhuo"——

A cute monster with a big head who walks along the shade of a tree and returns to other people's houses to eat leftovers after meals and helps wash the dishes.

Or buy a bottle of water and pour it on the head of a kappa who is dying of thirst in the middle of the road.

Take out the account of friends, and tell little Natsume the story between his grandmother Natsume Reiko and the monsters, give this own body, and go to the suburbs to bring back the beautiful patterns drawn by monsters on stones for my children, please monster friends "Clear the scene" on the way to and from school for my own children...

He will check Xiao Natsume's homework, ask about Xiao Natsume's grades and life in school, and in exchange, he will also bring the delicious steamed buns that Reiko-sama once said to Natsume who is doing well.

In the eyes of others, little Natsume has become more and more normal. He has become more and more cheerful. Like other boys, he likes to go out to be naughty with other children on weekends. I will also bring some small gifts to the elders in the family, such as wild flowers picked by the roadside or beautiful small stones I found...

He is no longer late, and he is as cute as other children except for occasionally smirking into the air.

The couple who originally agreed to send Natsume away also put aside this idea for the time being. On the other hand, Karasuma, who had already learned about this from Natsume, secretly changed into modern clothes and began to choose clothes for Natsume. The right family to adopt him and not care about his anomaly.

In the end, Karasuma went to Yahara, the hometown of her master Natsume Reiko, where, with the help of monsters, she found the Fujiwara couple who were praised by everyone as kind-hearted and had some relationship with Reiko.

Therefore, Takashi Natsume met Tatako Fujiwara who was lured to Tokyo by a few words from Karasuma ten years in advance and wanted to adopt Natsume. The Fujiwara family who fell in love with Natsume at a glance enthusiastically took him back to Yayuan and settled in this beautiful place. town.

And at the same time as entering the door, Xiao Natsume, who was holding the body of Xiao Karasuma, also found another sword hung on the wall by the Fujiwara family——

"Hotaramaru from Aso Shrine. Clang! The so-called finale is here!"

The sword that hadn't realized that its master had passed away recognized Natsume Takashi who woke him up as Reiko the moment he was awakened, and hugged him while yelling "Master, you have become smaller".

……

The sword Fusangshen with different personalities, the monster in the friend's account with different tempers, Natsume Takashi became curious and close to his grandmother who was said to have the same talent as himself.

So when he learned from Hotaru that before his death, his grandmother had promised to find a time to gather the swords and monsters of Honmaru and hold a lively banquet like in Honmaru, and many monsters were still there. Not knowing that grandma had passed away and was still waiting for her, little Takashi Natsume felt that he had found something he wanted to do——

Visit each of the monster friends of grandma, tell them the news of grandma's death, find every sword that is strayed outside, awaken the sword Fusangshen inside, and then...

Hold a lively banquet and fulfill her promise in place of grandma.

Until then……

Everyone will be very happy, right?

He... must be very satisfied, right?

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write about the purpose of Toujian Fusangshen to cultivate Xiaoxia, but when I thought about it, he would not meet the kind-hearted Fujiwara family, so I gave up this idea qaq

There is probably a bug in the timeline, please ignore it.

The setting is that Reiko lived to see her grandson die not long after she was born, and then Natsume's parents passed away in three to five years, so Natsume spent a few more years living under the care of her parents than in the original book.
