The strongest witch is a boy [Comprehensive]

The early summer in Yayuan is quiet and warm.

Natsume Takashi and Madara sat outside the shrine and talked for a long time, when they suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Mr. Natsume."

Natsume Takashi turned his head subconsciously, and found the strange boy standing at the torii gate, his blood-soaked clothes turned black, it was definitely not the color of dried blood, but more pure black like a crow's feather, the sunlight It fell on him through the woods, casting mottled spots of light, and those spots of light danced inconceivably like his long ebony hair, covering the hair with a gentle golden veil, such a faint radiance made this figure carry In a trance, it seems that it is not a resident of the world, but a god at the other end of the torii gate.

The boy in black smiled softly, the previous fragility, grief and embarrassment disappeared from him, replaced by calmness and peace, he was like an ancient tree in the mountains and forests, standing quietly, and seemed to be passing by. Breeze, gently embrace people.

"Ah... are you...Mr. Jing...?"

Natsume Takashi hesitantly called out the name.

Teacher Cat did call the person in front of him "Jing", but he said "boy" and "that guy Jing" for a while.

"Yes."

Shiina Kyo smiled and nodded, dispelling the yearning in her heart because of the similar appearance to Reiko and the subtle nostalgia for this similar name, and bowed deeply to the boy opposite.

"Mr. Natsume's life-saving grace, I am deeply grateful."

Natsume Takashi was immediately embarrassed, and hurried up to return the gift.

"Please don't do this - I didn't do anything! It's mainly due to Teacher Kitty -"

Madara yawned lazily, and curled his tail.

"Don't be polite to him, Natsume, this guy is just like this. If he doesn't thank you properly, he will have a hard time next year—as for me, this time I will treat you as a reward."

"Is that so?" Natsume Takashi looked at Madara, and said to Shiina Kyo with a smile, "That...you're welcome. I think everyone would be willing to help in that situation...I...um...you've been here before Yahara? Your expression... seems to be nostalgic..."

In fact, Natsume Takashi really minded what Madara said, "We all thought that Kyo would be with Reiko", but he felt that it was inappropriate to ask directly.

Madara stood up and said loudly, "So I've said that this guy doesn't—uhhh? Meow?!"

Natsume Takashi quickly covered Lucky Cat's mouth, and said with a smile, "Sorry, please don't worry about Mr. Cat, he's too rude..."

Madara writhed in Natsume Takashi's hand, and complained angrily while twisting: "I'm—uh—helping you talk—you don't know what's good...you don't look like Reiko at all...you really Just like a Jing... grandson!"

Natsume Takashi firmly pressed Madara's mouth in a motion that could suffocate an ordinary cat, making sure that he couldn't speak, and then bowed to Shiina Kyoichi.

"I'm really sorry, please don't pay attention to Teacher Cat's words."

Shiina Kyo couldn't help laughing at the displeased beckoning cat.

"It's really... very rare to see Madara like this..."

In the past, monsters did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Reiko. Only big monsters like Madara and Bing with powerful monster power dared to talk to Reiko on an equal footing. .

Shiina Kyo stretched out her hand and lightly flicked Lucky Cat's forehead, facing Madara's angry gaze, nostalgic and sentimental, and said: "The once so fierce Madara has become so cute, the power of time is really powerful …The big youkai who said at that time that they would never surrender to any human beings has now turned into a beckoning cat.”

"Beijing--!"

Madara was poked at the sore spot, spit out his demonic power, broke free from Natsume Takashi's hand and jumped up, turned into a heroic posture of a big monster while still in the air, and rushed towards Shiina Kyo at such a short distance.

"Teacher Cat—" Natsume Takashi shouted in panic, for fear of any accident.

With a clang, the sound of metal colliding with hard objects pierced the silent mountain forest.

The sharp claws of the weapon naturally possessed by the spotted beast monster collided with a five-foot long knife.

The big white monster and the boy in black formed a stalemate.

Natsume Takashi was surprised to find that Madara's powerful pounce was ineffective - its sharp claws were blocked by the sharp long knife, and it became an awkward posture with its front paws on the knife and half standing.

Moreover, the blade of the long knife was facing the opposite side. In other words, the person holding the knife deliberately blocked this attack with the back of the knife.

"Mr. Kitty, Mr. Jing..."

Madara rolled his eyes, trying to push his body down.

Shiina Kyo held the handle of the knife with both hands, sighed, and said, "Stop it, Madara, I lost a lot of blood before, if I keep beating, I will be in trouble if I lose consciousness."

Madara stared at Kyo Shiina for a while, then suddenly lowered her head, and bit down on the blade of Sirius.

"Eh--"

Shiina Kyo couldn't stop her, so she could only sigh helplessly.

Sure enough, a scorching flame suddenly burst out from the Sirius, forcing the spot to retreat at once, if not for the fast retreat, the nose would have been burned.

"Hmph—I'll just believe it, you are Kei. Then, answer me—"

Madara took a few steps back, letting out a low growl like the howling of a wild animal.

"Why did it suddenly disappear at that time?!"

Shiina Kyo put away Sirius, held his left arm to calm Sirius' fighting spirit, and answered after a long silence: "Reiko rejected me. So, I have no reason to stay any longer."

Madara was stunned for a moment, the monster couldn't turn his head around, and said in a daze: "Reiko rejects you? How is it possible?"

Shiina Kyo didn't want to answer this question.

If he knew the answer, he wouldn't be here.

Madara suddenly fell into the entanglement of "doing not understand what human beings are thinking". In its heart, Reiko and Jing liked each other, and they would be together as a matter of course-all the monsters who had seen them at that time believed so, so when Jing disappeared suddenly , Many monsters feel strange, but monsters don't understand the love-hate entanglement of human beings, and they won't ask questions.

Natsume Takashi, who had never experienced that period of time, keenly captured a word.

"Stay?"

Madara suddenly came back to his senses, opened his mouth wide, stared at Shiina Kyo, and said in disbelief: "You...you mean..."

Shiina Kyo closed her eyes and said the answer 40 years late like a sigh.

"I am a person of this era. Last year...for some reason, I went back 40 years ago...in Yahara, I met Reiko...I wanted to stay in that era, but Reiko rejected me...I no longer Resist time and return to this era."

"Ah?!" Natsume Takashi was taken aback, "Back... 40 years ago?!"

Madara scratched the ground with his paws in confusion, and it took him a while to sort out his thoughts.

"No wonder... I just find it strange why you were very powerful for a while, but then became weaker and weaker, because you are fighting against 'time'... No wonder you appeared suddenly, and there was no news after you disappeared. I almost found I couldn’t find it all over the island of Japan…”

"I've searched all over the island of Japan..." Shiina Kyo repeated what Madara said unintentionally in a low voice, then lowered her head, "I'm sorry for making you worry..."

It was only then that Madara realized that he had slipped his mouth, and yelled angrily: "Who wants you to apologize——! Since this is the case, why didn't you say it! Why didn't you tell us——!"

Shiina Kyo moved her lips, shook her head suddenly, and said helplessly: "Because I couldn't tell you at that time, I couldn't say anything about the 'future'."

Spot's expression froze.

Shiina Kyo walked over and reached out to Madara, as if wanting to hug it.

Although Madara looked unwilling, he still got down on the ground cooperatively, lowered his body, and exposed the neck, which is also a vital point for youkai, to "a mere human being".

Shiina Kyo gently wrapped her arms around Madara's neck.

"I'm sorry, at that time... I can't say anything. I really want to stay in that era... no matter what the cost..."

"Stupid! Stupid!"

Madara flicked her tail to whip Shiina Kyo.

"Do you think 'time' is something you can play around with at will! Even if you exhaust all your strength, it is impossible to fight 'time' - the longer you stay, the weaker you will be, and in the end, you want us to Watching you die?!"

"... I thought... if I tried my best... I could live as long as possible..."

Shiina Kyo buried her head in Madara's soft fur, and her voice became dull.

"However, if there is no reason for me to go all out... I can't think of... the meaning of fighting against time... If Reiko won't accept me anyway..."

40 years ago in Yahara, Shiina Kyo rescued Natsume Reiko who was kidnapped by a big monster. He didn't care even if his body was covered with bruises, but he cared about Reiko's answer.

[Sorry, I can't accept your wishes.Let's not meet again. ] Natsume Reiko turned and left.

Shiina Kyo no longer resists the force that takes him back to the correct time, and silently returns to his time.

Time flies like a fleeting horse, and 40 years have passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

Kyo Shiina and Reiko Natsume really never saw each other again.

Madara showed a rare tolerance that is unique to creatures that have passed through a long period of time, allowing Shiina Kyo to rub him in his fur for a while before throwing him off.

"...Kyo, have you ever thought... Maybe Reiko knows that you are not from that era?"

Shiina Kyo sat on the ground in a daze, subconsciously denying this guess.

"How... is it possible? I didn't say it... Besides, the rules don't allow me to reveal any 'future' to people in the 'past'. Even if I write it on paper, the ink will disappear... Even a big man like you Monsters have not been able to find that I have disordered time, and it is even more impossible for humans to notice..."

Madara suddenly looked up at Torii.

"...Then, what about the gods?"

Shiina Kyo was startled, and blurted out: "I never approached any shrines with footprints of gods at that time! Yes, the gods may be aware of the abnormality--I don't even think about the names of the gods of the Sanguizi family. , for fear of touching the perception of the gods."

Madara said after a while, "Reiko...has been to the shrine twice."
