What to do if you are too obsessed with Natsume

Xuezhi was sitting on a high bench, stroking the soft towel fabric in her hand, dangling her two hanging feet, the rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, revealing the golden sunshine, The world is so shiny.

She raised her snow-white face up, and when the sunlight fell on her eyes, the color of her pupils showed a kind of clear blue, like the clear blue sky after the rain.

Xuezhi walked back along the path when she came, and the moist air brought a faint fragrance of soil, flowers and plants. She hung the towel around her neck. If the gods can hear you, please bless that boy just now, and hope he can have a healthy body and a happy life.

"Ah-choo—"

After making a wish, Xuezhi wrinkled her little nose and sneezed. She tilted her head, thinking that this should not be the answer given to her by the gods.

She sat under the steps exposed to the sun, wiped her wet hair with a soft towel, let go of her thoughts and began to daze.

Was that boy just now a resident living at the foot of the mountain?I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.

But even if I met that young man again, I might not recognize myself. Just now, the young man may have just noticed that someone was hiding in the grass. Her body is so small, and the grass there is so densely grown. Most people are not so good. eyesight.

She sat in the mountains for a long time, the sun slanted westward a little bit, at dusk, the lively voices of monsters came from the distant forest, Xuezhi couldn't hear it very clearly, but vaguely heard "Summer Festival" and A few key words of "fireworks show".

Xuezhi has never been to a festival, but she heard from the monsters that there will be dances and music in the festival every year. During the long lifespan of the monsters, watching human festivals has become one of the pleasures of the monsters, but be careful. exorcist.

Even though Xuezhi possessed the flesh and blood and body of a human being, after swallowing the mermaid heart, there would still be a slight ghost aura to some extent.He also had the experience of being followed by a powerful exorcist, but Xuezhi luckily avoided them all later.

"The festival at the foot of the mountain must be very lively... I really want to go..."

"It would be nice if the little fox was here too, so we can go together together."

Xuezhi thought about it, her little nose itched, and she couldn't help but sneezed again.

"If you're careful, you should be fine..."

Xuezhi rubbed her nose, the "channel" between the nasal cavity and throat seemed to be a little bit wrong, her chest felt a little heavy, did she have a cold?Xuezhi lowered her eyelids and touched her throat.

It's okay, just hold on.

She buried her face in the soft towel, waiting for the night to come, and then go down the mountain when the fireworks bloom in the night sky.

In the gentle wind at dusk, Xuezhi waited and waited, her eyelids shrugged, she couldn't help dozing off, and finally she couldn't help being tired, and fell into a drowsy sleep. I don't know how long it took, "Bang Bang" The sound of fireworks blooming high in the sky woke her up.

She woke up suddenly from her sleep, her back straightened, her eyes widened, like a frightened little white cat.

The bright colors of the night sky are reflected in the clear pupils, which are fireworks blooming.

The festival has begun.

She ran down the steps downhill like a silver fawn with light feet.

After a good night's sleep, my mind didn't seem so drowsy anymore.

I don't know if I will see the boy hiding from the rain at the bus stop at the festival.

Just thinking of this possibility, Xuezhi's mood became uncontrollably lighter.

But at the same time, an uneasiness lingered in her heart, which could not go away for a long time.

Will those attending the festival notice the difference in her?Will you meet a demon master at the foot of the mountain?If you see that boy again, do you want to say thank you to him?

Her small figure melted into the watery moonlight and gradually disappeared at the end of the mountain.

Gradually, people began to smoke. The fireworks in full bloom in the sky and the orange lights on the side of the road reflected each other. There were surging crowds everywhere. They wore colorful bathrobes and held fluorescent sticks in their hands. There are also masks, such as rabbit masks, black and white masks... There are many types, Xuezhi thought, maybe sometimes human beings also want to hide their true selves.

"If only I had a mask too..."

Xuezhi couldn't help having such expectations, and her eyes lingered on the stalls selling masks, but she couldn't even take out a coin all over her body, so she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Her small body huddled in the corner, she stepped back her feet that were about to step forward, her big eyes looked at the surging crowd in front of her, and she felt timid in her heart, "If she is discovered, she will be treated as a monster." .”

"Or forget it."

Her whole body was listless, as if even her beautiful silver hair had lost its luster.

Just as he was about to retreat, the cry of a child reached Xuezhi's ears, "I don't like kitten masks, I want to wear tiger masks, only tiger ones!"

After speaking, the child threw the cat mask on the ground like a demonstration, started yelling at his parents, and finally rolled on the ground.

"Stop messing around, get up from the ground and buy it for you!"

In the public, the parents of the child were pointed at, and they quickly pulled up the child who was on the ground and left in a hurry.

After the little farce was over, the gathered crowd quickly dispersed. No one noticed the white cat mask that was thrown on the ground by the child and had several footprints stepped on it.

And Xuezhi happily rushed into the crowd, picked up the mask that no one wanted, and wiped off the dust on the white mask with his sleeve. It was a white cat mask with three red whiskers painted on the left and right sides.

so cute.

Xuezhi put the mask on her face, and she felt that she had gained a lot of courage in an instant, and her steps became light again.

Because only you can know whether the expression under the mask is crying or laughing, so you won't be afraid of being hurt by others.

Xuezhi jumped into the crowd happily. Although he was squeezed like a small dried fish in a sandwich bread and the air he breathed was turbid, Xuezhi felt very happy, because no matter the noisy voices, the hands of passers-by The leached body odor, or the sound of grilled squid sizzling on the side of the road, all gave her a real feeling of being in the world.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xuezhi briefly bid farewell to her loneliness.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The fireworks are in full bloom in the night sky, like bright flowers exploding.

"It would be great if I could see that boy again."

Xuezhi looked up at the star-studded night sky, with a faint light in her eyes.

"Natsume--"

"Come here quickly! I want to eat grilled squid wrapped in red bean paste!"

Through the noisy human voices, a loud voice reached Xuezhi's ears. When Xuezhi looked over, there was no human being who could correspond to the sound in his sight. It might be better to say that there was only a chubby white pig at the scene.

In other words, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a cat.

Is it a monster?

Among the monsters in Yayuan, only the little fox had an intersection with Xuezhi, so even if this cat was a monster, Xuezhi would not be able to recognize it.

However, the one just now was called Natsume's name.

Very familiar.

Could the Natsume in the cat's mouth be His Highness Natsume?

Thinking of this possibility, Xuezhi squatted in a corner with a mask on, and decided to stay and observe.

After all, His Highness Natsume is a star in Yahara Forest.

Xue Zhi's body was stuck against the corner of the wall, only a small head was exposed, staring at the white pig with wide eyes, waiting for the rumored Highness Natsume to appear.

At this moment, a slightly clear voice came from behind Xuezhi.

"It turns out that you are here, and I discovered it again."

In an instant, all the hairs on Xuezhi's body stood on end!

ah ah ah-

This voice is... the powerful exorcist who chased her last time!

Run!

"Ah."

Although he didn't look back, Xuezhi could imagine the way the long-haired young man who often wore black kimono pursed his lips slightly, and what kind of murderous intent would surge in his red eyes.

If it falls into the hands of that demon master, he will die, because Xuezhi once heard the monsters here say that the demon master named Chang will never soften his heart towards monsters.

Xuezhi ran into the crowd in a panic, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

You must not be caught by that exorcist.

but--

It feels like the sound of that person's breathing is getting closer!

People wearing ancient kimonos seemed to be mixed into the crowd, rushing towards Xuezhi from different directions.

Xue Zhi quickly turned her head and ran in another direction to find that handsome young man in black kimono standing not far away, smiling at her.

Looking into her eyes, he said every word.

"I just wanted to talk to you."

lie.

Xuezhi clutched the corner of her clothes, with a determined look in her eyes.

I will definitely lock myself up as a monster.

In that case, why not take advantage of the present and destroy everyone together!

The suppressed emotions surged, and it seemed that something in the body was about to flood out.

Want to stop?

Xuezhi looked at the approaching crowd, her pupils became empty, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart that kept saying, "Let me out, let me out, I will protect you."

but--

If you don't do this, who can come to save her.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past her head, and something as soft as a feather brushed her face lightly.

"Come up, give me your hand."

Under the moonlight, a boy with brown hair came from the sky on a pure white monster. The red and white fox mask was half hidden, revealing a pair of bright eyes like water.

"Please trust me."

The boy stared into Xuezhi's eyes and said softly.

of course.

Natsume-sama, since that day, I have always believed in you.

When Xuezhi woke up from the bed in the morning, she felt that her memory about Natsume came back a little bit, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

It would be nice if I could dream of Natsume every day!

Just a little sleepy, Xuezhi rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help yawning a little. She huddled under the warm blanket, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. She didn't think about it at all, as if she seemed to have forgotten something matter.

It wasn't until the "buzzing" cell phone notification sounded that Xue Zhi poked her head out of the bed, with short messy hair on her head, grabbed the phone, fiddled with it for a while before successfully connecting, "Moxi...?"

"Xiao Xuezhi, you haven't woken up yet, have you? It's already [-]:[-], which means—"

Speaking of this, Teacher Wutiao on the phone seemed to draw out his tone deliberately, and his voice sounded lazy.

"You're late for class~~"

"..."

Hearing this sentence, Xuezhi jumped up from the bed in fright, because she forgot that she was going to school.

Because Xuezhi never had the habit of going to school before.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wujo, I'll be right over."

"it's alright."

Teacher Wutiao on the phone seemed to be easy to talk to, Xuezhi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, as if the matter was not serious.

"The teacher has already planned the punishment for you in advance."

"Punish, punish?" Xuezhi widened her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's very simple. It's just a matter of writing down [-] advantages of Teacher Wutiao, which just enriches Xiaoxuezhi's Chinese level."

"..."

But Xuezhi really found it difficult to do so.
