The right way to polish a diamond

Yahara is a completely different place from Yokohama, with different scenery, different style, and different geographical location.

One is in Kanto, the other is in Kyushu; one is a bustling city, the other is a quiet country; one is busy, and the other is leisurely.

Walking on the country road, breathing the morning breeze, I feel my mind is relaxed.

Nakahara Nakaya looked at Osamu Dazai, and shook his hand slightly, "Dazai."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai raised his head from the map Natsume Soseki gave him, "What's the matter, Chuya?"

"You've been looking at that map for so long, you should have memorized it long ago." Zhongyuan Zhong also reached out and confiscated the map. "Compared to this, the surrounding scenery is more worth watching."

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai looked around, and his eyes were full of golden colors.

The trees are stretched out and bathed in the sun.Although a few trees had lost all their leaves, many more were still in lush autumn foliage.Birds shuttled among the trees, and a few young birds poked their heads out of their nests and sang twice, accepting the feeding from their parents.

Osamu Dazai said, "It turned out that Zhong also liked this kind of scenery, and I thought that Zhong would also like the bustling city more."

"Can't I like both?" Zhong Yuanzhong also admired the surrounding scenery, "It's not bad to go to this kind of place for vacation once in a while."

Because they didn't know how long they would stay, the two of them rented a villa nearby.

Chuya Nakahara said, "The open-air hot springs and outdoor hot springs here are very famous."

Osamu Dazai frowned slightly, "Let's forget about the wild hot springs!"

"That's right." Nakahara gave Osamu Dazai a mocking look, "In case you scare others!"

"I scare people?" Osamu Dazai said, "Maybe Chuya will be regarded as a fairy!"

"How is it possible? Humans can't see monsters!" Nakahara Chuya said.

The two walked slowly on the path while bickering, and Osamu Dazai's tense nerves also relaxed a little.

Not long after, he motioned to Chuya Zhongyuan, "Chuya, that's where it is."

Chuya Nakahara looked in the direction indicated by Osamu Dazai, and a house appeared in his field of vision, no difference could be seen from the outside.

The two looked at each other, walked over and knocked on the courtyard door.

A woman in an apron with half a basin of clothes in her hand appeared and opened the door, "Hello."

Osamu Dazai's gaze quickly scanned the woman's expression, dress and behavior, and then scanned the courtyard that could be seen in a circle.The courtyard has been cleaned very well, and there is still half of the space on the clothesline, which is about the same as the amount of clothes left in the woman's basin.

Osamu Dazai put a harmless smile on his face, and said politely, "Hi, ma'am, does Natsume Takashi live here?"

"Yes." The woman showed a suspicious expression but remained friendly, "May I ask you what you can do with Guizhi?"

Osamu Dazai said, "Natsume Takashi's grandmother Natsume Reiko's old friend asked us to deliver a letter."

Most people know that Natsume Soseki is the strongest supernatural person. Before this incident, even his two students Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Ogai didn't know that Natsume Soseki had a younger sister.

He protected his sister very well. If this relationship is exposed, it will increase the danger of Natsume Reiko.

But this doesn't mean that Natsume Soseki doesn't care about his sister. Until Natsume Reiko died, the relationship between the two siblings was very good.Not long after Natsume Reiko's death, the war began, and Natsume Soseki began to work hard for the three-quarter concept, and he had no time to care about him.

When he had free time again, Natsume Reiko's daughters had passed away, and Natsume Soseki would not reappear after that, but only occasionally paid attention to the blood left by Natsume Reiko.

Now except for Natsume Soseki himself, I am afraid that no one knows his blood relationship with Natsume Reiko.

Therefore, they can only be said to be Natsume Reiko's old friends.

"That's right!" The lady who opened the door quickly relaxed her vigilance and let the two of them in. "Please come in and sit down, Guizhi is just at home."

After Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya entered the room, they handed the gift they had prepared to the lady in front of them, "A small gift. I don't know what to bring when I first visit the house. According to the old friend, Ms. Reiko likes Nanatsuji's house very much." Bean paste buns, so I brought some here.”

"You are too polite." The lady greeted politely, and then she shouted upstairs, "Guizhi, you have guests!"

There was a quick response from upstairs.

"Okay, Aunt Tazi, I'll be right down!"

Osamu Dazai judged that he should be at the age of sixteen or seventeen when he heard the voice. The voice change period has passed but he is not yet a full-grown adult. He responded very positively and his tone was gentle and soft. Combined with the attitude of this "Aunt Toko", Takashi Natsume He should be a gentle and considerate boy.

"Aunt Toko." Natsume Takashi ran down with a cat in his arms, "What kind of guest is it?"

Natsume Takashi who came downstairs met Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Nakaya who were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Natsume Takashi looked at the two strange men blankly, and his arms holding the cat tightened involuntarily.

"Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakahara, this is Kishi." Toko, who had already exchanged names, introduced to the two parties, "Kishi, these two guests are Mr. Dazai Osamu and Mr. Nakahara Nakaya, the juniors of your grandmother's old friend. .”

After she finished speaking, she apologized and said, "Then you guys chat for a while, I will continue to dry the clothes. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Osamu Dazai said softly, "We are the ones who came to visit you suddenly, so I am sorry."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries.Tazi returned to the courtyard and left the living room to the three people.

Nakahara, who has been silent all the time, also looked at Natsume Takashi on his own. Anyway, the problem of interpersonal communication can be left to Osamu Dazai.

"Are you Mr. Natsume Takashi?" Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "Mr. Natsume Soseki asked us to come."

"Natsume... Soseki?" Natsume Takashi recalled, and said hesitantly, "I seem to have seen this name in grandma's notes."

At this moment, the cat who had been held in Natsume Takashi's arms suddenly said, "It's Soseki."

"Cat teacher!" Natsume Takashi was frightened by the cat teacher who suddenly spoke, and quickly looked at Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya, and found that these two people did not show any fear, but looked at the cat with interest teacher.

how to say?Natsume Takashi breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his heart again.

Natsume Takashi asked, "Mr. Kitty, do you know?"

The cat's two eyes were bent into the shape of crescent moons, looking at Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya, "Reiko said that she has an older brother named Soseki. They don't meet often, but they have a good relationship."

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chu also looked at each other.

No 'person' knows about the relationship between Natsume Soseki and Natsume Reiko, but it is obvious that this is not a person.

"Really?" Natsume Takashi was still at a loss, but still said politely, "Excuse me, what's the matter with my...uncle?"

"Actually, I want to ask Natsume-kun for help with some things." Dazai Osamu handed a letter to Natsume Takashi, and said unhurriedly, "We want to borrow the friend account in Natsume-kun's hands."

Natsume Takashi, who had just received the letter, paused and looked at the two of them warily.
