=====================

Natsume Takashi was once a withdrawn child.

That was about a few years ago, when I was still a junior high school student.At that time, he hadn't met the Fujiwara couple, and he was still in various families.Everyone thinks he is a strange and gloomy child, even if he is adopted for a short time, they will not have too much communication with him.

At that time, he had no friends. Even if he could talk to someone, there was a high probability that they would be kind ghosts or monsters that he mistook for human beings.

On the day when he met that boy, Natsume Takashi wondered if he had encountered a ghost again today.

It was a blood-red sunset evening, and the orange sun was shining. Natsume Takashi did not return to the house of the family where he lived temporarily, but stayed at the school alone until this time.

He is also a first-year student in the junior high school. He was adopted and transferred to another school. Unlike the classmates in the class, he can't get along well with the classmates around him.The identity of the transfer student made the students curious about him at the beginning, but as time went by, the strange things about Takashi Natsume always made people feel scared. Gradually, no one around him dared to approach him actively. people.

He hasn't signed up for any club activities yet, the summer vacation is coming soon, and now it's time to focus on his studies and prepare for the exam. His behavior of not wanting to sign up for club activities seems to have a lot of reasons.

In fact, he just didn't want to stay too long in crowded places.

There is a river bank near the school, and Natsume Takashi occasionally goes there to relax before going home after school.

There are few people there, and there are few monsters, so it is a very quiet place.Recently, the trees and grass around the embankment have grown more lush, covered by trees, it is like another isolated world.

The setting sun shone on the river, and the sparkling water reflected orange light. Takashi Natsume stopped by the embankment.

His place was taken by a peer he had never met.

The boy has blue hair, such a color is easy to attract attention, but he looks so quiet that he seems to disappear in the next moment, which makes Natsume Takashi think of leaving here immediately.

Nothing else, it was too ghostly to stare at something alone like this.

But Natsume Takashi's arrival still made the boy notice him, and the boy looked sideways at Natsume Takashi who was standing above the embankment, those red eyes were also unwaveringly silent.

Natsume Takashi inexplicably felt that it was a bit like another self.

A little lonely and too quiet, does he feel the same way in the eyes of others?

Before he could leave, the boy spoke to him.

"Are you waiting for dark too?"

In this case, should I answer it?What should I do if I encounter a ghost again and become entangled...

Natsume Takashi's worries are not groundless, he has encountered such a situation several times, and the consequences are the same - the people who adopted him found him talking to the air, thought he was very strange, and finally was sent to a new family for adoption.

"It's getting dark."

The young man didn't seem to be very eager to get his answer. It was not so much a dialogue as he was talking to himself.

He looked at the surface of the water, Natsume Takashi was also a little curious about whether there was anything in the water with his focused eyes.

"I..." Natsume Takashi tried to say, "I'm going home."

The boy didn't stop him, Natsume Takashi walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back, the other party was still looking at the water silently.

The next day, Natsume Takashi came to the embankment again at the same time.

The boy I met yesterday was not there, and the river bank was empty, and there was no one there.The lawn on the river slope is more lush than yesterday, and it feels very soft when sitting on it.

"—are you waiting for dark?"

Natsume Takashi was startled when a familiar voice sounded behind him, and turned his head to look abruptly.

The boy with blue hair and red pupils stood on the embankment, where Natsume Takashi stood yesterday.

"I'm also waiting for dark."

He had finished asking and answering himself, and stepped down.He sat down next to Natsume Takashi, completely ignoring Natsume Takashi's movement to the side, even wanting to stand up.

The boy didn't speak any more, and the two fell into an unspeakable silence. Even Takashi Natsume, who was used to quietness, found it a bit unbearable.

Today's weather is not very good, even in the evening, there is not as strong sunset sunlight as yesterday.Gray dark clouds spread a thin layer in the sky, with the wind blowing, it seemed that it was going to rain.

Natsume Takashi originally wanted to go directly back to the family that adopted him, but tonight is the birthday of the child in that family, so it seems that he is not suitable to stay in that family tonight.

"That... the wind is a bit noisy tonight."

Natsume Takashi whispered.

The boy only responded with a "hmm" and didn't say anything more.Natsume Takashi looked up at the sky, it was gloomy, making people feel a little dull.

"Why did you wait for dark?" he asked.

The boy stretched out his hand and pointed to the river.

"Do you smell anything?"

After listening to his words, Natsume Takashi tried to smell it. In addition to the smell of weeds and dust in the rain, there was also a little fishy smell. These are normal smells on the river bank, and he didn't feel anything. question.

He said truthfully: "There is a little freshness of grass...the smell of mud and fish?"

"It's very sharp."

I always felt that the conversation was spinning in a field that I couldn't understand, Natsume Takashi repeated the question just now: "Does this have something to do with the darkness?"

"Do you have the habit of reading books?" the boy asked him.

Natsume Takashi likes to read books, but due to personal reasons, it is difficult for him to have his own bookcase, let alone store his own books.When it comes to reading books, it means a bookstore or a school library.

"I'll watch a little bit," he said, "so?"

"Hmm... have you heard of such a rumor?" The young man said in a low voice, "When it is about to get dark, go to a place near the water that smells of ozone, and you will be able to see a beautiful glow when it gets dark."

The young man's voice is very nice, and he seemed to be reading some poem when he said this sentence. This is the first time Natsume Takashi has heard such a rumor, but Natsume Takashi is a person who often sees ghosts and monsters. The rumors can only subconsciously think: Where is this monster seen by humans?

"Since this is the case, it's better to go home early?" Natsume Takashi said honestly, "Maybe you will encounter something very dangerous, I think it's better to leave."

Hearing his words, the boy froze for a moment, then suddenly covered his mouth.Natsume Takashi noticed that his shoulders were shaking, and soon, laughter could not be suppressed.

"Hahaha...you are really interesting."

The young man looked at him with his face propped up on one hand, with a soft smile on his lips.

"In this case, let's go quickly. This is no longer suitable for you, and it is not the place you should be."

It was getting darker and darker, and Natsume Takashi should indeed leave.

He hesitated a little, and after standing up, he said, "Then you should go home early."

Natsume Takashi put his schoolbag on his back and returned to the slope of the embankment. He walked forward, and when he looked back at the boy sitting on the grass again, he suddenly found a very dreamy light slowly rising from the grass near the river bank. Stretching, the long green grass on the grass is tangled together under the blowing of the wind, and those grasses are also glowing beautifully.

However, with the place where the boy was standing as the boundary, the light stopped there and did not take a step towards Natsume Takashi.The boy with blue hair noticed that Natsume Takashi hadn't left yet, turned around and waved to him.

Natsume Takashi squeezed his fist, took a deep breath for a few seconds, and ran back resolutely.

"Follow me quickly!" he said, "No matter how you look at it, there are strange things here, let's go together!"

The boy rejected him.

"Thank you, but—" he laughed, "that's what I came here for."

All this seems beautiful and dreamy, but extremely dangerous.Everything looked gray under the overcast sky, except for the meadows near the river bank where colored lights shone like stars falling on the plants.

The boy squatted down and covered the grass with his palms.The starlight seems to have found a direction to gather here, they are pulled by the young man's palm, and finally formed a star-like cloud visible to the naked eye, leaping out of the grass.

"What... what is this?" Takashi Natsume was stunned.

"Colors Out of Space, some people call it [Star Color]. Don't worry, it's still a newborn baby now, with me here, it won't hurt you."

"In other words, it really is a dangerous guy—" Natsume Takashi couldn't help but said loudly, "If this is the case, why do you still touch it?"

"So I came here for it." The young man was a little helpless, "This is where you live, right? It's not good to let it live here."

Natsume Takashi couldn't help but take a look at the little cloud that was jumping happily in the boy's palm. It looks good, and it doesn't look so scary in the boy's hand now. I don't know what the consequences of letting it grow .

Speaking of-

"That is to say, you came here because you knew its danger, and you have the ability to control it... If it is a monster, is it possible that you are a monster exorcist or an onmyoji?"

Natsume Takashi reacted belatedly.

The person in front of him is someone who can see monsters and ghosts like him, right?

The boy laughed again, as if he heard something very interesting, the laughter made Natsume Takashi start to wonder if he asked something wrong again.

"I am nothing, I have no name, and I will leave here soon. If you don't have enough reason, don't search too much for the truth." He said with a smile, "But if you are willing to be friends with me... I will Teach you how to control power, you are often chased by monsters, right?"

That's right!

Natsume Takashi felt more and more that the boy in front of him was an extraordinary person, but wasn't the exchange condition a bit strange?

"Why is the condition to be friends?"

Natsume Takashi was very confused.

The boy hooked the star with his index finger, and the star was held in his palm obediently, and disappeared in an instant like magic. Before Natsume Takashi could think about where the star had gone, the boy stretched out his hands.

"This is probably the gesture of inviting others...well, that's right." He said, looking into Natsume Takashi's eyes, "I have no friends, and I don't know what [friends] are. You are also a kind of fate, if you want, just give me a name."

Eh--

By the way, he said he didn't have a name.

Worse than him?Natsume Takashi's brain was spinning a little slowly, he suddenly felt cold water droplets on his cheeks, touched his cheeks, it turned out that it was raining.

The boy's hand was still in front of his eyes, Natsume Takashi made up his mind and reached out to hold it.

This time it was the same as before, maybe I encountered a monster or a ghost.But... I feel that the boy is not dangerous, he is a good person to get along with.

He took away the color of the stars, took away the threatening things, and did good things.

【If you want, just give me a name. 】

He doesn't even have a name.

"This is the river. The river is very shallow. When it's not raining, you can see the pebbles underneath. It's very beautiful."

Looking at these, sometimes he feels that the world is like a beautifully painted painting.

If the teenager can go to farther places and see a wider world, instead of being bound between different families like him, he should be very happy.

Natsume Takashi slowly organized his words, "Asakawa, your name is [Asakawa See]."

Whether it's human or not doesn't matter anymore.

He also wanted to have a friend, a friend to talk to when he was alone.

[Star Color] (The following popular science comes from Wikipedia)

The color of the stars comes from the deep space of the universe, where there are completely different laws of nature.When star larvae begin to infiltrate the ecosystem, native plants begin to grow unhealthily; fruit tastes bitter, and insects and animals produce deformed offspring.At night, all vegetation shimmers with star-colored gleams, vegetation twists, tangles, and shakes violently as if blown by a strong wind, and even humans glow ghostly.After a few months, the larvae transform into juvenile star colors.

A juvenile star color leaves its lair to forage nearby and begin to consume the life force contained in the areas it affected as a larva.When it has absorbed enough energy, it leaves the planet, travels to space, and finally matures.During this process, if the area has a large number of creatures, the color of the star can absorb all the life force within about five acres; if it is a wilderness or grassland, the color of the star can absorb all the life force within ten to twenty acres.Once the land is sucked dry, it will be abandoned forever, and no plants can continue to grow.

Bright light can inhibit the activity of star colors.During the day, it will stay in a dark, cool hiding place, preferably some kind of bottom: a pond, well, lake, cistern or even the ocean are ideal locations.

Star Color is a pretty efficient attacker.If the Keeper wants to warn his investigators, he can make an [intelligence value x 5] check to detect its shimmer or notice the sudden appearance of ozone.
