If you are afraid of pain, the pain should be at the lowest level, right?

(……Grass.)

Qihai Qiuzi sat on the tatami with a dull face.

The brown-haired boy on the opposite side patted his head in embarrassment.

"Mr. Qihai...are you too tired?"

Qihai Qiuzi opened his dead fish eyes, "Yes."

He smiled awkwardly, and the fat cat in his arms jumped out of his arms.

He quickly grabbed the cat back and stroked the fat cat's back comfortingly.

"I'm sorry... I really didn't come at the right time."

Thinking that she could almost feed her fingers in to observe the situation just now, Qiuzi Qihai sighed and nodded,

"really."

It's really not the right time.

Natsume Takashi: "..."

But after a short period of sluggishness, Natsume Takashi heaved a sigh of relief.

It's much more comfortable to associate with such a straight ball than with those smiling tigers.

Both of his parents died earlier, and he was surprised by his relatives who were smiling on the surface but cold in heart. Takashi Natsume actually couldn't get along with others very well in some aspects.

He likes to carry many things by himself.

There are very few friends, unless they are acquainted with each other, otherwise, Natsume Takashi will not make friends for no reason.

But now...

"My name is Natsume Takashi, and I came to study with Mr. Nanami."

Qihai Qiuzi hummed.

Her eyes looked into the void.

[On the other side of the mountain and the other side of the sea, there is a little boy and his cat~ The little boy has been able to see all kinds of monsters since he was a child, and for this he has experienced pain that he shouldn't have to go through at this age! 】

Nanami Qiuzi remembered.

Here is a copy of that day.

Compared to other world dungeons, level lv25 dungeons have almost no difficulty, and there will be no downgrades and no underworld plots.

Thinking of this, Qiuzi Qihai breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her head and raised her eyebrows, "What are you studying?"

Jianren Qihai is a fighter, she looked up and down the young man in front of her, but no matter what, she couldn't see that he had the qualifications of a fighter.

"...Something about the curse." He showed a smile that tended to heal, "Because I can see all kinds of strange things since I was a child, and it is said that I inherited the spiritual power of my grandmother."

"But when I came to Tokyo a few days ago, I suddenly discovered something strange... Ah, how should I put it, I was rescued by Mr. Nanami."

(Qihai Jianren... do you like meddling in your own business so much?)

(However...he is too nervous, there is no logic in what he said.)

Nanami Qiuzi stared at Natsume Takashi with black eyes expressionlessly, wanting to see if the other party was guilty or lying.

(Maybe not.)

Thinking of this, she stood up, "Oni-chan fainted, why don't you come tomorrow or stay tonight."

Natsume Takashi, who was planning to go back, didn't know what he thought of, stood up holding the cat, and bowed slightly.

"That bothers you so much."

"It's okay." She shifted her gaze to the other party's cat, "Your cat—"

"What happened to Mr. Cat?"

"It looks a little delicious."

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Some chubby cats directly exploded their fur, and when they jumped hard, their little paws were about to scratch Qihai Qiuzi's face.

She frowned, grabbed the cat by the neck in displeasure, and hung the cat in the air.

"Take care of your cat, otherwise I'll throw it out of the pot and make braised cat meat tomorrow."

"Stinky girl! Who do you want to throw into the pot!"

The lucky cat's short limbs fluttered in the air, and the sharp little claws shone coldly.

"What... you have your own wisdom." Qiuzi Qihai said with some regret, and then stroked the cat's belly, showing a comfortable expression, "Sure enough, fat is comfortable to the touch!"

Then, she lowered her head and said tentatively, "Then the meat must be delicious too."

"soy Mujer--!"

"—O Teacher Cat, don't move around!"

The beckoning cat suddenly burst out with great strength, broke free from the strength on its neck, and grabbed Nanami Qiuzi. Natsume Takashi was also surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly wanted to stop it.

Bang!

The two fell together.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind, "...what are you doing?"

Qihai Qiuzi stretched out an arm swiftly, "I'm playing~"

Natsume Takashi was a little mad: "...Don't explain this situation!"

Qiuzi Qihai looked blank: "? Ah? Aren't we playing?"

The two men next to him added a cat: "..."

"Hey, anyway, Natsume-kun will stay at our house for a while."

"I heard from Natsume that he wants to learn from Oni-chan for a while~" Nanami Qiuzi was not happy, and dangled Nanami Jianren's arm, "I also want to learn from Oni-chan~"

Jianren Qihai has reached level [-], so he naturally has a lot of skills to teach Qiuzi Qihai who knows nothing.

"Study..." Qihai Jianren pressed his temple with a headache, and looked at Natsume Takashi, who was ignorant, "Have you talked to Qiuzi?"

"Ah?" Takashi Natsume was stunned. He originally thought Nanami Qiuzi was also a person with special abilities... Could it be that he was mistaken...

Wait a minute, I seem to be the same... I only know that my grandmother Natsume Reiko has spiritual power, but neither my parents nor my brothers and sisters have spiritual power...

Wait!

So, he revealed something very important!

Takashi Natsume felt suffocated.

"Oni-chan!" Qiuzi Qihai continued to shake Jianren Qihai's left arm, "I want to learn too!"

"I also want to team up with Oni-chan to fight those ugly monsters, and then level up together!"

"Last time you kept cooing me, don't cooing me this time!"

Jianren Qihai had a headache.

I didn't know what was going on today, my head hurt like it was about to explode, and when I brought Qiuzi back, I couldn't help but fainted at home... let alone now, I suddenly knew that Qiuzi Qihai could also see those things curse……

Well, Jianren Qihai is getting more and more headaches.

For one thing, he didn't want Qiuzi Qihai to join this chaotic war.

Secondly, he also hoped that Qiuzi Qihai could have a little self-protection ability.

Very contradictory thoughts.

"it is good."

After much deliberation, Qihai Jianren agreed.

Since he can see the curse and has the power of the curse, it is better to protect himself a little bit.

It's just... too bad...

(The ignorant people are the happiest...)

"Then Qiuzi, I'll transfer you to another school tomorrow."

"? Transfer?"

Qiuzi Qihai opened her eyes wide and burst into tears immediately, "Oni-chan also thinks that the group of scumbags in school with a fighting strength of five can't compare to me?"

Two people and one cat again: "..."

All right, you're right.

Jianren Qihai was paralyzed.

At this time, the relaxed Natsume Takashi heaved a sigh of relief, his expression softened a little, "I can't tell the difference between a monster and a curse, but..."

He took out a ledger-like thing from his pocket, "This is what my grandmother left behind, it's called a friend's account."

"Friends account?"

Qiuzi Qihai leaned over, and an identification technique lay down on her face.

[Natsume's Book of Friends: The legacy made by Natsume Reiko, it is said that it can control many, many big monsters~]

Her eyes lit up, "Can I have a look?"

"of course can."

Inside the friend's account were sheets of blank paper, on which were written various characters that Qiuzi Qihai didn't know very well.

Jianren Qihai was thoughtful, "Is this... the name?"

"Yes." Natsume Takashi was somewhat nostalgic, "It is said that my grandmother forced them to sign their names after defeating the monsters, and after the monsters handed over their names—"

"It will be manipulated by the owner of the name, isn't it?" Jianren Qihai interjected abruptly, seeing Natsume Takashi's nod thoughtfully, "No wonder... I've heard what the family of onmyojis say-names are the shortest The curse seems to have a little origin."

"... Well, I came to Tokyo this time to return all the names... Grandma has passed away, so there is no need for names to bind the youkai's life."

"...so many names." Jianren Qihai glanced casually, and the thick pile of names were all the names of monsters, "You really are..."

It is definitely not like this for ordinary people to obtain huge wealth in the first time.

Greed, lust, partiality,...

"A good boy."

Qihaijian people sincerely sigh.

"..." Natsume Takashi lowered his head in embarrassment, "Not all of them, the account of friends... there will be many big monsters to fight for."

Jianren Qihai shook his head.

"And..." the corners of his eyes became softer, "When I return the friend account, I can see my grandmother..."

"To be able to know that this is not just me in this world, and to be able to know that there are other people in this world who are also like this—"

"To be able to feel what they felt, to be able to live what they were going through—"

"This feeling is also great."

The beckoning cat jumped up suddenly, and tapped Natsume Takashi's head with its paw, "It's because of you that the friendship list is getting thinner and thinner!"

"Really, it's still a question of whether I can inherit the account of friends after you die."

"Cat teacher!"

Natsume Takashi picked up the Lucky Cat, "It's too much!"

Qiuzi Qihai suddenly poked her head out, "So, I can cook this little fat cat for you, and then I will inherit the account of friends!"

"Qiuzi!!" Jianren Qihai pushed back his protruding head, "Don't be so rude!"

"Hee hee, I don't have any!" Qiuzi Qihai said confidently, "Cat meat is sour! It doesn't taste good when cooked!"

"?" Jianren Qihai turned his head, "How do you know cat meat is sour?"

"...I checked it online!"

"...what's the matter with your suspicious hesitation?"

Qihai Qiuzi paused, "Because, I was wondering if you would check my phone."

Jianren Qihai was speechless.

"Will not."

he assured.

Lying is human nature, but Nanami Qiuzi is not good at it.

She looked at the account of friends, flipping it over and over again, and then thought of the finger in the backpack.

"Natsume-kun—"

She looked at Natsume Takashi eagerly.

A question was raised.

Natsume Takashi's eyes widened immediately: "...? What do you want to do?"
