In comparison, her heart felt even heavier: even her friends, they knew her to some extent and what her personality was like, but why did he, the father, never understand her?He didn't even give her the most basic trust...

When Natsume arrived, what he saw was Nao nestled in the corner of the bed, huddled into a ball and crying, he hesitated for a moment, and he called hesitantly: "Na...o?"

Hearing the sound, Nao looked up, and saw the boy who had the same experience as her was looking at her worriedly. Suddenly, her heart felt sour, and the tears fell even more fiercely. Without thinking about it, she walked forward quickly , and hugged him: "Guizhi, Guizhi..."

Mr. Cat, who has changed from the prototype to the maneki cat, stood on the railing of the balcony. Natsume was dazed and bewildered. He licked his paws, with an extremely leisurely look: "Natsume, you Shouldn't you hug the little girl now and say, 'it's okay, I'm here, don't cry, I'll feel bad', right? Your reaction is zero, absolutely zero."

Natsume, who was a little embarrassed at first, was relieved a lot by the cat teacher, because he was a little scared by Nao before. He has known Nao for so long, and he has never seen her so helpless. After he replied to Teacher Cat, he lowered his head and asked Nao, and at the same time he patted her on the back, just like what his parents did when he was a child to comfort him: "Teacher, you have watched too many TV shows, now you are not joking." Time... Nao, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little out of control." Nao wiped her tears, and after coming out of Natsume's arms, she said embarrassedly, and because she cried for a long time, she spoke with a slightly nasal voice, and choked from time to time , "Guizhi, I'm sorry, I asked the teacher to send you here so late..."

Looking at Nao worriedly, Natsume took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the tears on Nao's face: "It's okay, I don't care, but what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this all of a sudden?"

"Little girl, you're smart, I know you've troubled me so late, remember to buy me the steamed buns from Nanatsujiya as an apology, otherwise, hehe..." Madara threatened, just matching its appearance of a beckoning cat It doesn't look like it has any deterrent effect.

Natsume frowned because of Teacher Kitty's words. Nao covered her mouth when she was about to speak. How many days do you live there?"

"Hey?"

After lightly telling Natsume what happened today, Nao looked at Natsume with red eyes from crying, her voice was a little lost, and she knew that her request was a bit too much: "Takashi, I know I won't fight like this It's not good to just say hello, my stepbrothers might be worried about me, but I really don't want to be here anymore, especially when this happened today, I don't know how to face them, they all heard my words It's time to say something when you're angry..."

After hearing Nao's words, Natsume didn't know how to comfort her for a while: "Nao..."

"I'm sorry, Guizhi, I always feel that I'm taking advantage of you by saying this, but, but I really can't think of a way! If you want to find someone else, you must go through the gate, and you will definitely be found. I don't want to face you. To them..." Saying this, Nao cried again, and the unstoppable tears fell even harder, "Takashi, I'm sorry, I... suddenly made such an excessive request..."

Knowing that his sudden disappearance would make people worry, but Nao just wanted to go to a place where no one from Asahina's family could find her, and let herself relax.

It doesn't matter whether she is headstrong or the eldest lady has a good temper, now... she just wants to escape, and doesn't want to care about anything else.

As if caught in a virus, Nao repeatedly said the words "I'm sorry", because she felt that she was so ugly, and she took advantage of Natsume's gentleness, and she was... so ugly.

"Don't cry, Nao, I don't care, you don't need to do this." Sighing lightly, Natsume just stayed for a while at the beginning, although he also felt that Nao's sneaking away like this would make people worry, but as Nao My friend, he is naturally on Nao's side, "Is there anything I need to prepare? What about clothes?"

Sucking his nose, Nao came back to his senses, stared blankly at Natsume, and asked in disbelief: "Takashi... aren't you angry? I, obviously..."

"It's okay, I'm not angry, because we're friends, aren't we? Isn't it right to help each other when we're in trouble?" Even if some unknown monsters come to him for help, Natsume will agree, yes It is even less likely that Nao would refuse the request of a friend he has known since childhood.

"Thank you, Kishi..."

After picking up a few clothes, Nao found a spare bank card that she had put away specially for fear of losing it, and put all of them into a backpack she didn't use much, then she took the notebook and wrote on it: After a few words, he followed Natsume, sat on the transformed cat teacher and left: "I'll go out for a few days to relax, don't worry about my safety, I'm at a friend's house, I'm safe, I'll be back in a few days Came back. BY: Nao"

There is a monster cloud blocking it, so Nao and Natsume's figures were not noticed by anyone. If ordinary people suddenly looked up and saw two people flying in the sky, it would be funny, but in the middle, Mr. Cat seemed to notice something and let Natsume and Nao went down on the top floor of a building once, and it didn't know why it went there. Although it came back soon, Nao had an intuition that Mr. Kitty's departure was related to the ghost.

Sure enough, after returning to Natsume's room, Mr. Cat returned to his original form, and then he stared at Nao and asked, "Hey, little girl, are you being targeted by the ghost?"

"Yes."

"Huh? Teacher, the Wraith is...?!" Natsume was startled, then looked at Nao, "Nao, are you okay?"

Nao finally calmed down, when she saw Natsume worried about herself, she only felt warm in her heart, and unconsciously evoked a smile: "I'm fine, Kishi, don't worry, there is always someone by my side , she didn't find a chance to attack me."

"Hmph, that's because you're lucky." Teacher Cat said angrily, but it was a little puzzled. Compared to last time, the little girl's strength seemed to have weakened a lot? "Little girl, have you had any strange feelings recently?"

"What strange feeling? Teacher, what are you referring to?" Nao frowned.

"Your strength is weakening. When I saw you last time, your spiritual power was barely visible. Now..." Madara deliberately stopped, looked Nao up and down, and then said, "If you continue like this, after a while In time, even low-level monsters can come to trouble you."

"Wait, wait, teacher, why do you know that Nao's power is weakening?" Hearing what Teacher Cat said, Natsume subconsciously looked at Nao, and saw that she was also puzzled and surprised, so he asked, By the way, does the teacher have this ability?

"What are you thinking, idiot Natsume!" After seeing Natsume's expression, Mr. Cat hit Natsume's head with his hind legs, and said angrily, "It's because this little girl has a special strength, a bit like before. For those onmyojis, because she can't control spiritual power, the spiritual power exposed on her body made me feel a little uncomfortable when I saw her last time, but it may be just uncomfortable for some big monsters, and for the little monsters. Spiritual power is like poison, but... her strength is much weaker now, so I asked her if she had any strange feelings."

Blinking his eyes, Nao looked at Mr. Cat, and thought about it carefully: "I don't have any special feelings, teacher."

"Cut...ma, forget it, I should be back anyway." Sensing the momentary power fluctuation, Madara narrowed his eyes, so it turned out to be like this, hmph, this little girl is really... "By the way, that wraith , although I have temporarily detoxified her, you have to be careful recently, your strength is weakening and you are very dangerous now."

"Teacher, is there any other way?" Natsume interjected.

Scratching his own head, Madara then licked his paws and said, "I can't help it. I'm not good at wraiths. You can ask C. She is more proficient in spells. Maybe there is a way to cure wraiths." Not sure, but things like wraiths, if you don’t get rid of them completely, it’s very troublesome~~ After all, you are the one being targeted.”

"I see, thank you for telling me this, teacher." Nao also knew that she was in trouble now, but it was caused by her, and she should take responsibility, "By the way, Takashi, I am in trouble at night. Can I sleep on your side? I can sleep in the closet~~”

"Hey? How is this possible, no!..." Natsume refused without even thinking about it. Nao also guessed his reaction, but she was not going to make it difficult for him. She was already very grateful to him for taking her in. She couldn't trouble him any more.

Nao patted Natsume on the shoulder and said, "Gizhi, calm down first, I don't dare to sleep alone now, if suddenly the resentful spirit comes again, I won't be miserable, but I can't sleep with you either. Aunt Tazi saw it, and I was afraid she might misunderstand you, so I’ll just sleep in the closet, and you and Mr. Kitty are right next to you, Kishi, so I can feel at ease, nah? So it’s okay..."

Natsume still frowned and wanted to refuse, but he also knew that what Nasu said had her reasons, but how could he agree to letting her sleep in the closet with a girl.

"I don't care, it's just such a happy decision~~ Speaking of it, Kishi, is this considered elopement?" Nao didn't give Natsume a chance to refuse, she decided directly, because she was really stubborn, Natsume There was nothing she could do about it. In order to change the subject, she deliberately defined her sneaking away as elopement.

Sure enough, when Natsume heard her words, she immediately felt helpless: "Elope, elope!? Nao, don't talk nonsense——!"

"Pfft, Kishi blushed~~"

"Ah, you're blushing, Natsu~me~"

"You two! Don't sing together!"
