My life mentor is always changing

Kurosawa Ritsu is a very ordinary student living an ordinary high school life in an ordinary town.

She always thought that this ordinary life would continue.

This is the second winter she has lived in this small town. The weather is getting colder, and when the hot air she exhales spreads out gracefully in the air, it is torn into pieces by the cold air. out of pace.

On the side of the road, there were a few housewives who did not forget to gather together to do household chores in the cold weather. They noticed Ritsu Kurosawa who was alone, so the topic of conversation turned to her.

"Is that the child of that family?"

"It's so pitiful, that kind Granny Gu passed away just like that."

"I heard that it is in foster care, so I guess it needs to be adopted by other relatives."

The whispers from them and the strange gazes cast from the gaps were like sharp knives, stabbing at her body.The viscous malice that accompanied the words became concrete, and turned into several small curses with mouths wide open and drooling, rushing towards her.

Those newborn curses barely stopped one meter away from her, and further ahead, there was a stronger curse power surrounding Lu Ze's side, blocking their invasion.

The curses of those freshmen who couldn't get close to her stared straight at her, countless eyes without blinking, Qi Qi shouted, "You can see, you can see!"

Ritsu Kurosawa quickened her pace again, so fast that she was almost about to run, and those curses followed behind her, chasing after her, she forced herself to ignore those ghosts, clutched the straps of her schoolbag expressionlessly, thinking to herself: " Before I leave, I’m going to visit the Fujiwara family, go to Nanatsujiya to buy some bean paste buns, and bring some snacks along with the prepared gifts.”

Yes, she was going to leave here again, this shelter she had come to with great difficulty.

As for why say it again?

It started when she was a child. When she was ten years old, her parents had an accident. Since then, she has been adopted by relatives on both sides in turn, moving between different relatives' homes. Because of her withdrawn nature, she can't live in these relatives' homes for long.

Who likes a weird kid who just watches your back all the time?

Especially when she was alone, she would speak into the air.

People are always afraid of the unknown in this world.So they are afraid of people who are with the unknown, seeing them as aliens.

Kurosawa Ritsu is the one who is different in their eyes.

When she realized that there were some things that only she could see, it was too late, all kinds of rumors about her had been spread among relatives, and even became more and more exaggerated and terrifying. In the end, no one was willing to adopt her up.

Everyone sees her as a big problem and kicks her around like a football.This ups and downs continued until two years ago, when she was adopted by Granny Gu before she came to an end.

She moved to an old house in the countryside with Granny Gu.Only then did Hei Zelv officially have a fixed residence, and he got rid of gossip for the time being.

Good times are not long.

Just a month ago, Granny Gu passed away.

This is one of the few places where she can live for a longer time, and now she has to leave this land, this place that left her with some good memories.

Maybe she is really a lone star... No, you shouldn't think so... This will disappoint the teachers who treat her.

She still needs to accept the guardianship of others until she reaches the age of majority.

Before her death, Granny Gu asked her to contact a gentleman in Tokyo, hoping that she would receive education in Tokyo before she became an adult.The gentleman was very busy, so he just sent her a few text messages on the Internet, saying that someone would pick her up at the airport.

What will Tokyo be like?

Kurosawa Ritsu doesn't know, but she knows that the curse on her body will always exist with her, so before leaving, she has to thank the Fujiwara couple who helped her so much before.

Say goodbye to this land and its deserving people.

They should like bean paste buns.

After paying the money, Kuisawa held the paper bag that packed the red bean paste buns, and the sweet smell squeezed out from the slits in the bag, scrambling to get into her nose.

Before she could take two steps, a strange creature entangled her.

"It smells like bean paste buns, hurry up, Natsume!"

The round ball that looked like a lucky cat, like a ball of wool, rolled to her feet, with two short legs lying beside her legs, and the strangely shaped eyes were full of longing.

Kurosawa held the paper bag with one hand, lowered his head to look at the round, "I can't give it to you now."

She knew this cat, it was her cousin Natsume Takashi's cat, named Cat Sensei, and she was almost inseparable from her cousin.

Takashi Natsume is currently living at the home of the Fujiwara couple.

Strange name, her cousin Natsume Takashi also has his own secrets, and she has no interest in exploring other people's secrets.

"Teacher Cat..."

With one hand free, Kurosawa patted Teacher Kitty's head, and gently scratched Teacher Kitty's chin. The latter made a comfortable purring sound from his throat, but still squinted and clamored for bean paste buns.

Furry can always heal people's hearts, so she gave teacher cat a red bean paste bun under soft heart.

"Teacher Cat!" The clear boy's voice came from far to near. The boy with short chestnut hair looked around at the crossroads, and then ran to Ritsu Kurosawa. When he was in Lu's arms, he finally stopped, leaning on his knees, gasping for breath.

"Mr. Cat, don't run so fast, I, I can't catch up."

"Natsume, if you slow down, no one will blame you." Mr. Cat swallowed the bean paste bun in his mouth slowly, licked his paw slowly, and then made a forward scratching motion in the air.

The lucky cat spoke.And in front of people.

Takashi Natsume's expression froze for a moment, and then he nervously looked at the girl next to Mr. Kitty. When his gaze fell on Ritsu Kurosawa's face, the handsome boy blinked his amber cat eyes. The familiar face Bring him back to memory immediately.

Black hair and brown eyes, this girl in school uniform is his cousin, Ritsu Kurosawa.

I don't know if it's because of the blood relationship, but the faces of the two are [-]% similar, but compared with Natsume Takashi, who has soft brows and eyes, Kurosawa Ritsu's facial features are more aggressive, especially those eyes that are raised at the end , the edge of the pupil is oozing red.

"Miss Law..."

Kurosawa Ritsu is known by Natsume Takashi, and it is rare for a human being to know that Mr. Kitty is a monster. It is ashamed to say that he has only been thinking about his own affairs for a while, and has not had time to visit her.

After all, something like that happened.

"Guizhi, long time no see." With a smile on his face, Kurosawa took out another red bean paste bun, hanging in the air, teasing Mr. Cat, and put the red bean paste bun to its mouth when it was about to explode. side.

Natsume Takashi picked up the plump cat teacher and hugged him in his arms, "I saw the moving car, are you going to move out tomorrow?"

"Yes, after all, my mother-in-law is gone."

She was like a rootless duckweed, about to float around with the current again.

Why can you say such sad words so calmly...

Natsume Takashi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say any words of comfort. He had just found a family willing to adopt him, and Kurosawa Ritsu once again lost her place to stay.

"Miss Li...will get better..."

"Don't worry about me, Takashi, I'm very strong." Kurosawa Ritsu showed a bright smile, stretched out his hand to touch Natsume's soft hair, this boy's height has surpassed her by a lot before he knew it.

"Aren't you cold? You keep chatting like a housewife here." Teacher Cat licked his paws and combed his hair.

"Ah, Mr. Cat, you finished eating all the bean paste buns!" Natsume Takashi turned his head and found that the paper bag was empty, and Mr. Cat slipped into the paper bag in Ritsu Kurosawa's arms while the two were chatting. , I ate the red bean paste bun.

Kurosawa sighed helplessly, "...I can only buy another copy."

After buying red bean paste buns again, the two walked to Fujiwara's house while chatting side by side.

When he learned that Kurosawa Ritsu was leaving here, Fujiwara Toko called Kurosawa Ritsu and invited her to eat at home.

She made omelet rice, which is Kurosawa's favorite kind. The fried rice is wrapped in a golden omelet and served with sweet and sour tomato sauce. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere on the table is also very harmonious.

The small talk after dinner gave her tired heart a place to rest.

"Is there anyone in Tokyo who wants to take care of you?"

"Yes."

"That's really great. I've been thinking about whether to pick you up and live with us."

Hearing the words, Kurosawa quickly declined, "No, no, thank you for your kindness."

The Fujiwara family already has Natsume Takashi, and if she is added, wouldn't it be a world-shaking one?

The double-layered superposition of monsters and curses, even Mr. Cat cannot handle it as a patron saint.

"I don't know if you can adapt to life in a big city." Toko Fujiwara held her chin with a worried expression on her face.

Aunt Tazi is a very gentle person, and one of the few people who really cares about Ritsu Kurosawa.

Emotional giving is a two-way interaction. Ritsu Kurosawa is very sensitive to the emotions of others, and she can even tell whether others are lying.

Undoubtedly, that concern was not a lie.

Natsume Takashi would be very happy here.

Kurosawa smiled, "Don't worry, Aunt Toko, the gentleman in Tokyo is a very gentle person."

"Have you met before?"

"That's not true, it's just that in the message he sent, his tone was very gentle, saying that he would pick me up at the airport in Tokyo."

"That can't be taken lightly. When you arrive in Tokyo, you must call back. The girl went so far alone..."

Taking advantage of other people's inattention, Kurosawa hugged Mr. Cat aside and whispered into its ear.

"Mr. Kitty, right...can I ask you to continue guarding Takashi?"

"Hmph, who wants to protect that kid, if it's not for the sake of friends..."

"Then for the sake of the friend's account, I'll leave it to you, Kishi."

Teacher Cat lazily raised one eye, and glanced behind her with a vacant eye, "Instead of caring about others, it's better to take care of the guys behind you."

"...I know, thank you."

Kurosawa Ritsu and Natsume Takashi are similar but different, Kurosawa Ritsu is easily haunted by curses, while Natsume Takashi is easy to be followed by monsters.

"Miss Li, what are you talking about?"

"nothing……"

Natsume Takashi still remembers that when he was chased by the big monster and played like a toy, Kurosawa Ritsu rescued him.Seeing her, the huge monster ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.

It's a pity that he couldn't see what was behind Ritsu Kurosawa. When he asked Mr. Cat, it just turned a blind eye and didn't answer. It just told him that those things were terrible and told him not to get into it.

"Guizhi go and deliver Ritsu-chan."

At dusk, light and darkness alternate, the house of the Fujiwara family is shrouded in warm yellow light, Natsume Takashi stands in front of the door, hugging the cat teacher who is about to become a ball, interweaving with the warm sunshine into a pleasing picture The picture scroll.

The way ahead was covered by darkness, while Ritsu Kurosawa was swallowed by shadows. There were countless bleeding eyes and whispering voices in the shadows. In the darkness, she still smiled brightly when she turned around to say goodbye to Takashi Natsume, I am really happy for him from the bottom of my heart.

Unlike her, he had found his home, his real home.

Holding the paper bag stuffed by Fujiwara Toko with all kinds of food in it, Ritsu Kurosawa stopped in front of the old house.

The old house was handed down from Granny Gu's husband's family. It has a history of nearly a hundred years. This dilapidated house has been eroded by wind and rain, and it is only in some small details that it can glimpse the prosperity of the past.

The sky darkened, and the sky reluctantly tore off the fine clothes, put on a gray robe, and gave way to the crescent moon and Xingzi disheveledly.

The moment he stepped into the old house, the world Kurosawa saw was even darker. The threshold of the old house split the space and cut the two worlds in half.

Ritsu Kurosawa walked on the wooden boards outside the old house wrapped in the thick night, the soles of the shoes made a crackling sound when they came into close contact with the old wooden boards, in the corner of the shadows, eyes opened and closed, and the eyeballs followed suit. Follow Kurosawa's walking and turning.

"I'm back!" Taking a deep breath, Kurosawa slammed open the door. Her mother-in-law's ears are not good, and she always had to shout angrily to let her mother-in-law know when she came home.

But this time no one responded.

Quiet.

The old house without warm yellow lights is like a devil's lair, and everything in the corridor makes people dizzy.

She stepped into the room of the old house, and there were many square things piled up inside, squeezing the room of the old house even narrower.

No one is waiting for her in this house, Granny Gu has passed away.

Ritsu Kurosawa stepped into the dark room, the darkness pressed down like a wave, making people suffocated, a pair of light brown eyes unknowingly became darker and darker, and then turned into the dark color when the blood dried up as if dyed. red.

I want my mother-in-law to live and continue to be by her side...

What if... make that wish?

"Ryu-chan ~ this is not okay." A voice suddenly appeared in the room, interrupting Kurosawa's thought that shouldn't have been.
