What to do if you are too obsessed with Natsume

Xuezhi's hair is a bit long, and she wanted to keep it long, so she just asked her mother-in-law to trim her too long bangs and hair ends.

"The hair grows very well, and even the ends of the hair are rarely split."

"It just needs a little trimming of the arc."

The scissors sounded "Kacha—Kacha—" and Xuezhi was wandering, feeling a little thankful that her flesh and blood regeneration function was not reflected in her hair, otherwise her mother-in-law would probably be terrified.

After cutting her hair, Xuezhi paid the farewell to her mother-in-law and walked along the Yayuan Forest in her memory.

There are a lot of people who come out to worship in the first month. There is a wooden torii gate on the mountain. Inari God, who is in charge of the harvest, is enshrined in the shrine. The incense is quite good.But Xuezhi knew that this Inari god had left here a long time ago.

Human voices were carried by the wind to Xuezhi’s ears one after another. The grass leaves and the mountain wind swayed gently in the sun, and the little monster hidden in the low forest was staring at Xuezhi curiously. , Xuezhi didn't stop, but just walked deeper into the forest.

Youkai don't live too close to humans.

The tree trunks in the forest also sprouted new branches, and the joyful cry of larks was heard in my ears, and the lush grass on the roadside made rustling noises, the snow branches calmed down, and the kappa carrying a turtle shell poked his head out of the grass , covered in dew.

"Do you know where C went?"

Xuezhi asked.

"Let's go to the deeper forest, you can also try to call Mr. B's name." Kappa replied.

"Where's the little fox?"

Xuezhi asked again, "There are no monsters bullying him, right?"

The kappa showed a slightly subtle look, "That guy is very good at fighting now!"

"Hey...that sounds pretty good!"

Xuezhi raised the corner of her mouth, just now she wanted to inquire about other news with the Kappa, when a soft voice came from not far away, "Xuezhi, Xuezhi, you are back!"

The little fox jumped and ran over from the other side of the path, and threw himself into Xuezhi's arms, wagging its furry tail behind him.

"Yeah, I brought you Nanatsujiya's red bean paste buns, do you want to eat?"

"want!"

The little fox nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling.

Xuezhi took the little fox's hand, and planned to find an open grass to sit down. The little fox gestured, raised bright eyes and asked her, "Xuezhi, have you grown a little taller?"

"Probably so."

Xuezhi felt that she was almost 1.6 meters tall, which should be considered a normal height among girls.

"If only I could grow so fast, I want to be a tall and mighty fox!" said the little fox, biting down the soft and sweet bean paste buns, "Aww~~ human food is so delicious! It's so delicious!"

"But, where has Xuezhi been all this time?"

the little fox asked curiously.

"Go to school to study."

"School?" The little fox widened his eyes, "Reading?"

"Where do you study, can I go too? Are there other monsters in that school?"

"Tokyo is a school founded by human magicians." Xuezhi said.

The little fox thought for a while, tilted his head, and showed some worried eyes, "Is it okay? Will those humans find out your identity?"

Xuezhi shook his head.

The little fox felt relieved, rolled around on the lawn while stroking his stomach, which was full of food, "It would be great if monsters also had schools."

Xuezhi hugged the little fox's furry tail for a while, and then reluctantly said goodbye, "Let's do this first, I'm still going to find Bing and Sanxiao."

"Is there anything important?"

"There is something I want to ask." Xuezhi said.

The little fox held her hand, looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "Remember to come back and find me."

"Uh-huh."

After making such a promise, Xuezhi and the little fox separated.

"C, Sanxiao——"

Xuezhi walked in the depths of the forest, calling the names of two monsters.

The wind blew the leaves in the forest with a rustling sound, and with a "crash", the long-haired dryad with one eye hung upside down under the tree and made a grimace at her, "Half demon, you are back, It smells like a human being."

"none of your business."

Xuezhi was impatient to deal with the monster, and walked around her and left.

"...I don't want to take care of your business."

The long-haired tree demon said so, squatting on the tree watching Xue Zhi's leaving figure, and sighed in a low voice, "Actually, I really want to be friends with you."

"C, Sister C—"

The girl's voice floated far away on the wind.

Under the clear blue sky, a Minotaur monster with long white hair flew over carrying a woman in a gorgeous kimono, and slowly landed in front of Xuezhi.

"Oh, the whole Yayuan knows that you are looking for me..."

Bing jumped off Sanxiao, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, approaching Xuezhi with a swaying graceful figure, and touched the girl's hair, looking like a big sister, "Tell me, ask my sister for help if you need anything." ?”

"Where's Natsume, aren't you with me?"

As he spoke, Bing looked behind her a few times, as if Natsume would be hidden by her.

"No, I came by myself."

Xuezhi said helplessly.

"Then what does Xiao Xuezhi want from me?" Bing stared at Xuezhi's young face, blinked his eyes, and leaned over to ask.

There was a faint smell of tobacco on her body, which smelled indescribably charming and sexy. Xuezhi calmed down, her eyes seemed a little confused, "There is indeed a problem that bothers me, and I can't figure it out."

Xuezhi looked at Bing, and Sanxiao who was standing behind her, said that they should be Yahara, the most knowledgeable monster.

"What is it?"

"It's about my physique. You all know that I'm a half-demon, right?"

Although we have known each other for several years, this is the first time Xuezhi mentioned his physique in front of people other than Natsume.

Bing raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, speaking of this, I'm actually quite curious, were you born from a combination of a human and a monster? Otherwise, how could Xiao Xuezhi have both a monster's aura and a human's aura. "

"No, my parents are just ordinary people and have nothing to do with monsters."

"What's the matter?"

Bing held the cigarette stick, opened his gorgeous lips, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

"It has something to do with the mermaid. When I was five years old, I ate the heart spit out by the mermaid because of an accident. After that, my physique changed, my body became very strong, and I rarely got sick, even if I was injured. It will also heal itself."

"like this……"

Xuezhi picked up an angular stone and scratched it on his palm, bright red blood dripped from the wound, but soon healed as a visible wound.

Under the sun, the girl's palm was smooth and delicate, without a single scar.

"Oh, this is really amazing!"

B stared at Xuezhi, "That mermaid gave you a precious gift."

"I know."

Xuezhi didn't show a very happy expression, "If I didn't meet the mermaid, I would probably be dead."

"Have you heard the legend of the mermaid?"

Xuezhi shook his head.

"There is a saying among human beings that one can live forever if one eats mermaid meat. For quite a long time, human magicians have tried every means to capture mermaids, but most of them live on the bottom of the sea, and their numbers are extremely rare. It is very difficult for the teacher to capture."

"But this does not mean that there is no such thing. I have heard that there was once a girl who ate mermaid meat. Her appearance and age remained the same as the day she ate mermaid meat. She was immortal."

"But I have grown up well!"

Xuezhi became happy when he heard this, thinking that maybe he could grow old too.

Bing touched Xuezhi's head, with wise eyes, "That's because what you ate was the heart of the mermaid, and it was given to you by the mermaid voluntarily. People will stay at the best age in their life, and you will still grow because you have not yet reached the period of stopping growth."

"..."

Xuezhi's whole body was wilted.

Bing couldn't help lowering his voice, and gently stroked Xuezhi's hair, "Isn't it good to be a demon? You still have me, a little fox, and freckles...the age of a demon is long."

Xuezhi still wanted to cry, raised her face and asked cautiously, "Then is there any way not to be a demon?"

"I don't want to live so long."

She put her hand over her heart, and looked at C with some sadness.

Bing and Sanxiao just looked at her silently without answering, but their eyes said everything.

"If……"

Xuezhi raised her eyes, "If I get that heart out, is it okay... eh..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuezhi was hit on the head.

"Are you stupid!"

Bing said fiercely with a straight face, "Don't move those crooked thoughts."

"I'm just saying..."

Xuezhi patted her head, defending in a low voice.

"All in all, you have to figure out what the consequences will be."

C showed that look of seeing everything clearly again.

"I see."

Xuezhi had no choice but to make a promise.

Anyway, it's still early to think about this, let's talk about it later, Xuezhi comforted himself.

If she locked her heart tightly just because she was afraid of the parting and loneliness that had not yet come, that was not the choice she would make.

After thinking it over, Xuezhi smiled again, and said goodbye to Bing and Sanxiao.

"Otherwise, just stay in Yayuan and don't go back."

In the end, C still couldn't help but say that if she had feelings for human beings, seeing the people she knew die and grow old one by one, while she was living well all the time, the accumulation of this slight sadness would make her feel sad. broken.

"No, school starts in a few days."

Xuezhi said seriously.

Bing smiled and waved to her, "Then see you next time."

Xuezhi left along the original road, and when she returned to the entrance of the plain, she suddenly thought of something, and slapped her forehead in annoyance, "I wanted to ask Sister Bing how to wear a kimono, so I took this kimono as I spoke." It's forgotten."

"Forget it."

She actually wanted to wear it for Natsume to see.

While walking like this while thinking, Xuezhi had already returned to the small town, and a faint scent of wheat wafted in the wind.

"Snow branch!"

A slightly rough voice came, and as soon as she raised her head, Teacher Mao threw herself into Xuezhi's arms, and said with a smirk, "It was agreed in the morning to buy me something to eat, don't renege on it!"

"What to eat?"

Xuezhi asked.

"Seven Tsujiya's dorayaki, grilled octopus, steamed buns, and fizzy drinks!" Mr. Cat seemed to want to kill Xue Zhi.

"You've had enough."

Natsume's gentle and helpless voice came from his ear.

"But I have promised Teacher Cat."

Xuezhi hugged Teacher Kitty and looked at Natsume.

Xia Mu stared at Xue Zhi's face, "Yes, there is no other way, let the teacher choose by himself."

Teacher Cat jumped out of Xuezhi's arms and rushed to Nanatsujiya.

"Teacher Cat is really..."

"It's getting fatter."

The two walked side by side, Natsume glanced at Xuezhi, the girl's eyes were downcast, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's the matter, aren't you happy?"

"Eh?"

Xuezhi's eyes widened, and a trace of panic flashed across her beautiful face. This guy Natsume must be too sharp, obviously only a little bit, how did you tell it!

"Ok?"

The end of Natsume's speech rose slightly, and she still looked at Xuezhi with such gentle eyes.

"...nothing."

Xuezhi said with a red face.

"That's it."

Natsume didn't mean to ask, but Xuezhi herself was a little uneasy. She racked her brains and finally thought of a reason for her unhappiness, so she stammered, "...Actually, there is a problem."

"What?" Natsume asked.

"I don't know how to wear the kimono Tatara bought for me, Natsume, can you teach me?"

"Eh?"

Natsume avoided Xuezhi's eyes, and lied with red ears, "...Sorry, I actually don't know how to do it either."
