(Cat and Boy)

"Ah, I heard that the criminals only pick out the children who are alone. The only clues the police have so far are that there are playing cards of different suits left at each crime scene." Mr. Hinata explained on his behalf, and added: "I am also a former I read from the newspapers for a while that the national attention rate of this case is quite high." After that, Yui disappeared, and he couldn't care less about other people's lives.

A child who is alone... It seems that Mr. Hisoka did not do it.

Bilika sat back upright and let out a sigh of relief, whether it was disappointment or peace of mind.

Mrs. Hinata asked cautiously: "Then, did you find any clues at the school?"

"Well, I don't know if it's a clue or not." Lucy tilted her head and looked at Gray, and the two collided with an unspoken spark: Natsume Takashi.

Natsu's head was on fire: Hey, I was the one who discovered it first!

***

Natsume Takashi is an orphan who just moved to Hirosaki City not long ago and was adopted by his distant relatives Fujiwara and his wife who had no children.

With the star spirit of the compass constellation, it is not difficult to find the Fujiwara family.But unfortunately, Natsume did not go home after school.

"Can the compass constellation find where Natsume is?" Bilika squatted in front of the protoss in the image of a red duckling, and the little duck happily squeaked against the compass.

"What the hell, it's impossible. You can find this place only after you know the address of Fujiwara's house, and that Natsume Takashi doesn't have moving coordinates on him, so you can't find it even with the compass seat." Lucy held the compass seat With a swipe of the key in mid-air, the compass constellation disappeared in place and returned to the astral world.

"No one saw it?" Lucy led Bilika carefully out of the narrow alley, and Natsu and Gray, who were waiting at the entrance of the alley, discussed with them: "What should we do next?"

"Well, at that time, the students in Class 2 said that Natsume-san seemed to be in a hurry and left, right?" Bilika recalled, and suggested: "Why don't we search separately in Hirosaki City. Even if we can't find it, You can also come to Fujiwara’s house tonight or go to Gutian High School tomorrow morning.”

"Okay! I'll be with Happy!" Naz was the first to respond, and Bilika was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then I'll be with Nana." She lifted the cover of her backpack and saw that Nana was belly up. , Lying in it, sleeping soundly.

"Happy and Nana's fighting strength can be ignored." Lucy complained.However, both Naz and Bilika never treated their cats as pets, but as companions on an equal footing, so it was hard for Lucy to say anything.Gray shrugged and said kindly, "In that case, I'll be with Lucy."

Lucy stood on the side of the road with a small one-inch photo, scanned the people coming and going, and complained: "Can you recognize it with only one photo? Maybe he just got an afro perm recently? Maybe he will wear What about the doll costume that covers your face?"

"Didn't the book say that high school students in Honshu are not allowed to have their hair permed or dyed? As for doll costumes, it's even more strange." Gray replied calmly.He crouched next to Lucy, an empty manila portfolio and a stack of scattered papers emptied out of it.

They stole it from the archives of Gutian High School, where Natsume Takashi's ID photo and Fujiwara's address were found.

"This kid has changed schools many times." Gray frowned and flipped through Natsume's information, considering the possibility that he had gone astray due to trauma.

"Grey, look, is it that child!" Lucy suddenly pointed to the distance and patted Gray's shoulder excitedly.

"Be gentle..." Gray ducked to the side, followed Lucy's fingers to see that it was the station across the road, and behind the station sign was a dilapidated cabin with a sloped roof for people waiting for the train to rest. A timetable is posted at the door.

Beside the cabin, a boy in a dark blue windbreaker and scarf was holding his hands on his knees, talking to the two boys who looked like elementary school students in front of him. He had light brown hair, a delicate face, and breath Bringing out fluffy white air: "...the deep forest is very dangerous."

"But we really have important things to do." One of the shorter boys lowered his head slightly, clutching the strap of his schoolbag tightly, looking like he was about to cry, while the other raised his head and argued excitedly: "If If we weren't being teased by monsters, we must have found my mother-in-law a long time ago!"

"Natsume Takashi... classmate?"

Natsume heard a strange voice calling his name, straightened up and looked back, there were two young men, a man and a woman, a little older than him, the boy was wearing a windbreaker with a white background and blue trim, with his hands in his pockets, looking serious , but the movements reveal a sense of arrogance and indifference; the girl is wearing a pure white short coat and short skirt, her straight and slender thighs are exposed to the cold winter wind, and her full breasts seem to be about to open the zipper of her coat.She carefully looked at Natsume's face, compared it with the photo in her hand, and confirmed, "Is it Natsume's classmate?"

Natsume nodded: "I am. Excuse me..."

Lucy was about to ask him directly if he knew about "Natsume's Book of Friends", but Gray pulled her from behind, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it in another place after you've dealt with it." Said After that, I avoided it and waited for Natsume and the two little boys to talk first.

"Be careful, Natsume, I'm afraid these two people are not friendly." The three-colored cat lying on Natsume's shoulder reminded him with a short tail like a pompom.

Natsume glanced at Gray and Lucy, smiled, didn't say anything, just leaned down again, and asked the two little boys kindly: "What are you going to do in the mountains?"

Just now, these two children broke into the deep forest on the mountain without authorization, and were severely teased by a monster living nearby. Thanks to Natsume passing by, they were brought out.

The taller boy looked apologetic and replied, "We want to find an old woman and apologize to her."

That old lady appeared three months ago, wearing a dark brown linen kimono, wandering around here alone.

At that time they were playing marbles in the open space, Lian, that is, the shorter boy, complained that the tall Daisuke was sloppy every time, and refused to admit defeat. Take the initiative to come forward and talk to the old lady.

Although the old woman could not speak, she was very kind. Not only was she willing to play with the two of them, but she also did some tricks, such as passing a pencil through the palm of her hand.

Later, the old lady not only made the judgment, but also played marbles on the floor with them.In a three-person competition, the last one will invite the top two to eat the fried fish from Nanatsujiya.

Hearing this, the Sanhuamao curled its lips and complained, "Seven Tsujiya's steamed buns are the best! Steamed buns!"

It's a pity that the cry reached the ears of the two little boys, but it was just a meow.

"Understood, I'll buy it for you on the way home." Natsume patted Sanhuamao's head, and asked Daisuke gently: "And then? Is the old lady no longer showing up?"

Lian wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and whispered, "Grandma must be angry."

"It's all my fault." Daisuke replied: "That day, we had a quarrel over whether the tail of thick fish stew should be stuffed with bean paste. Lian said that it is delicious if it is filled with red bean paste, but I said the tail of thick fish stew is delicious. Take the food, you should throw it away after eating, and you shouldn’t fill it with red bean paste. Then, we asked the mother-in-law who was right, and the mother-in-law looked around for a long time, put her hand on Lian’s shoulder, and then..." Daisuke bit Biting her lower lip: "...I, I said very unreasonable things to my mother-in-law."

Lian then added: "After Daisuke ran away in anger, we didn't talk for more than a week, and we didn't come here to play marbles. Later, we reconciled, and when we came here again, we couldn't find my mother-in-law." Lian I was so anxious that I was about to cry, and tearfully pulled Natsume's sleeves and begged: "We know that my mother-in-law lives on this mountain, and my mother-in-law always leaves from the path up the mountain, please, big brother, you are so powerful, Can you take us to find mother-in-law?"

Daisuke hastily imitated Lian and pulled Natsume's other sleeve: "Please, even if, even if my mother-in-law refuses to forgive me, I must apologize to my mother-in-law!"

"Even if you say that..." Natsume smiled bitterly in embarrassment, but there was still no way to let it go.He sighed softly, and said, "Well, it's getting late, you go home first, and I'll go to your mother-in-law and convey Daisuke's apology for you, okay?"

Daisuke conceded: "Then... well, but, can you help us bring the thick fish burnt to my mother-in-law?"

"Okay." Natsume smiled kindly, straightened up and said to Gray and Lucy, "Sorry, Nanatsujiya is not far from there. Although I don't know what the two of you are looking for me, you can wait for me to find it Will that mother-in-law talk about it later?"

"Yeah, okay." Lucy nodded briskly, and after hearing them talk about specialties such as "cooked fish" and "steamed buns", she realized that she hadn't eaten, so she discussed with Gray: "Shall we buy some food by the way? "

"it is good."

***

Gray and Lucy kept a distance from the three of Natsume and followed behind them not too far or too close.

The dim sum shop called Nanatsujiya is on the east side of a two-lane street, next to a straight girder bridge and surrounded by the river.

Lucy took a deep breath: "The air is so good!" Maybe it's because Hirosaki is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the air is much cleaner than other places.

But Gray didn't care about her little feelings, and said hastily: "Don't worry about the air! '141' appeared!"

"what?!"

There is a clear price tag under the simulated food model displayed in the window of Nanatsujiya, and the price of thick fish burnt is exactly 141 kyat.

"There must be something wrong with that old woman. How can a normal old man lie on the ground and play marbles like a child?" Gray said to Natsume who came out holding steamed buns, "Let's go together too."

"Huh? But..." The rejection on Natsume's face was obvious.Lucy was not so wary of Natsume. She took out the blackmail letter from Gray's windbreaker pocket and pasted it in front of Natsume's eyes: "We are looking for Ms. Hyuga Yui. Is she your classmate?"

"Hyuga-san? Is it related to Hyuga-san?" Natsume's eyes showed concern and worry.

When the Hyuga family received the blackmail letter, Yui's case had already been handed over to the irresponsible police officer Megure. Obviously, even though Natsume Takashi and Hyuga Yui were in the same class, there was something similar to the blackmail letter. "Natsume's Book of Friends" has a word that overlaps, but Police Officer Meguro has never thought of it deeply.

Lucy handed the letter to Natsume: "You can read it yourself."

In just one sentence, Natsume looked at it for a long time, and murmured softly: "Teacher..."

The three-flowered cat whom he revered as his teacher suddenly sniffled, lay down on the letter paper and smelled it again and again: "This smell...is Zhuguo! Although monsters can eat it without any problem, once humans take it, their bodies and minds will change. It looks like a child, let it be manipulated! I thought it was extinct long ago, after so many years, how did it appear here?"

At the same time, at the edge of the forest, Bilika, who was sitting on a tree stump, was biting through the pearls between her teeth unconsciously, and the sweet and sour juice instantly filled her entire mouth.
