[Natsume] A place that only wings can reach

! ! ! "Silver Fox struggled to break free from the barrier, and followed at a very fast speed. Before crashing out of the window, he gave him an angry look that Natsume couldn't understand, "Why didn't you stop her? ! ! "

"She... will die..."

……What's the meaning……

Natsume stood in front of the window, Mr. Cat looked at the slowly sinking sunset in the distance, licked his paws casually, and said in a low voice:

"The 'Fountain of Life' is only the size of a thumb, and it is impossible to find it in the human world. That little girl is so sure, it shows that the pearl is on her body, at least where she can control it."

"If a treasure that can extend life is taken out as a last resort, the increased lifespan will disappear immediately, and it may even be turned into ashes on the spot."

In the dream, the smile of the little girl coughing violently by the stream gradually overlapped with Yusha's smile, and Natsume rushed downstairs, "I'll go find her!"

"Hey! Natsume!"

Teacher Cat wanted to stop him, but he had already run outside in a blink of an eye, so he sighed helplessly, "Really, I don't even know where they are, so I want to run to find them."

After speaking, he turned into a prototype and caught Natsume in one bite and flew up.

【Swallow this, you can live until you complete your mission. 】

【But this... is taken from youkai...】

Half of the boy in black clothes was covered in blood, but he put the radiant spherical object in her hand without changing his expression.

[Or, do you want to use death to escape from my side? 】

【No... I know...】

Yusha caressed her chest, and under the powerful beating, there was still traces of demonic power overflowing from her lungs. It was the painstaking efforts of the sea clam for thousands of years, and it was snatched away by the horizontal knife.

She took a deep breath, drew a complex formation on the ground, and slid a few more holes in the palm of her hand, blood flowed in the center of the formation.

What is taken from the demon will eventually belong to its original owner.

"Four images are the environment, please listen to my prayer..."

"Miss--!!!"

"Silver, back off." Yusha in the center of the formation gently pushed the silver fox out of the formation with demon power, rubbing its head in the air, "We have taken too many demon things, we can't make mistakes again and again. wrong."

"But you will..."

"Don't worry~ Even if there is no 'Fountain of Life', its remaining monster power can still support me for a period of time, not now..."

"I don't want to! I don't want to leave your side!!"

The silver fox turned into a human and shed tears.

With the help of Madara, Natsume also found the position of Yusha from the air. In the thin air at high altitude, he vaguely saw the radiant figure on the top of the mountain, surrounded by the lingering mist.Before he could get any closer, the radiance was so dazzling that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

"camlet--"

Four images are the environment, please listen to my prayer.

The north is yin, and the south is yang.

Please lend me strength and use my life as a boundary.

A burst of powerful force suddenly erupted from Yusha's body, spreading like a tide, and the surrounding trees fell in the direction of the wave.

The colorful brilliance suddenly emerged from her chest and slowly lifted into the air, feeling the pain of being stripped of life, she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The treasure of the clam family has been reappeared in the world so far.

未醒

The moment the 'source of life' was stripped from Yusha's body, it flew towards the leader of the clam clan, and she also fell into a coma.

Aunt Toko handed the tray with dinner to Natsume, frowning worriedly, "That kid, hasn't he woke up yet?"

It would be fine if he fell asleep just because of lack of demon power.

After receiving the dinner, Natsume nodded.

Even Yin didn't eat or drink. If this went on, both of them would be unbearable, but there was no other way now.

Natsume pushed the door open, just in time for Yu Sha to struggle to stand up, his wobbly body almost fell down at the touch, he quickly put down the tray and went to support her, "Hurry up and go back to lie down, you can't get up yet."

"Hey, it's all right." Yu Sha straightened her back with a pale face, and waved her small fist, "Look, it can still help others."

He didn't speak, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he forcefully pushed her back under the quilt and tucked her back.

Even at this time, you still think about monsters and monsters... Take good care of your body!

Natsume sat cross-legged beside her and looked at her with his hands on his chest, preventing her from running around while he wasn't paying attention.

"Natsume-kun, are you angry?"

He was really angry, and he was angry to a new level, so angry that he wanted to smoke her until she came to her senses.

Even he himself was frightened by this unquenchable anger.

"Human life is too short compared to monsters, so even if my life is taken away, Natsume-kun doesn't have to feel sad." She was talking about her own life, but her tone was so relaxed and sad, "If I can use my power to impress others and youkai, that would be very satisfying to me."

Natsume clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms but she didn't feel any pain at all.

"How can you be satisfied... This is your own life, isn't it..."

Yu Sha was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "That's right."

Helping monsters is not just a hobby for her, but a mission, something she has to do.

This is redemption.

"Although there are so many scenery that I haven't seen yet, if I can't even protect the friends around me, even if I go to enjoy it alone, it's meaningless."

"I will accompany you to see it." Natsume looked into her suddenly widened eyes seriously, with a firm expression, "Occasionally, rely on your friends. In exchange, you will have a good sleep right now, and then Go ahead and do what you want to do.”

...I can't stand it.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and retracted into the quilt to cover up the involuntary arc.

"It's so reliable, Natsume-kun, are you always so gentle with everyone..."

Natsume blushed all of a sudden, and when he hesitated for a while to answer, the girl in front of him was already sound asleep.

"Oh, I didn't even eat dinner."

Complaining nonchalantly, Natsume stared at her sleeping face and fell silent.

It's not like that, he's not the one who treats everyone so cautiously, for fear that the other party will be wronged or hurt a little bit.

The kid was different, though he couldn't say exactly why.

Suddenly, Yusha coughed violently and instinctively covered her mouth.Natsume hastily pulled out a tissue and stuffed it in her hand. After she calmed down, she wanted to throw it away, but she didn't move as if she was in an ice cellar.

On the paper towel, it is a bright red color.

Her life was disappearing at a speed that he could feel.

"Hey! Nishimura! Kitamoto! What are you two bastards doing?!" Ueda Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and slapped the two of them hard on the head, "Don't bother Natsume-san!"

Nishimura turned around aggrievedly, "But the class monitor~ Yusha-chan hasn't come to school for many days..."

"Then just call and ask, what does Natsume-san know?"

So Kitamoto and Nishimura told Ueda what they saw after school that day, and attacked him with [-] points.

Taking advantage of Ueda's pure petrification, Kitamoto and Nishimura quickly slipped to Natsume's side and whispered, "Natsume Natsume, do you know what happened to Yusa-chan recently? I haven't seen anyone at all."

"Ah, she is not in good health recently, she is resting at home."

Natsume frowned and wanted to go back early when she thought of how she was curled up in the quilt and forcibly endured to prevent them from worrying.

"Natsume Natsume, how about we go visit her together?"

"No!" He was suddenly very tough, which shocked the ruffian Nishimura, "Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Seeing that Natsume suddenly lost his temper, Kitamoto couldn't figure it out, so he had to hold Nishimura by the collar to prevent him from picking on Natsume's nerves again.

"Natsume has been a little weird lately."

Ueda Jun leaned over, curious about the baby's appearance, "What what?"

"That guy, when Yusha sauce is mentioned, he becomes super powerful."

In fact, he didn't lose his temper at Nishimura on purpose.

Natsume regretted his tone just now after speaking to Nishimura, but he couldn't stop his worry.

He ran back to Fujiwara's house in a hurry, threw off his shoes in a hurry, said hello to Aunt Toko, and rushed to his room on the second floor. When he locked the door, he became a little nervous.

The girl was leaning against the window in her pajamas, a little monster flashed its wings and circled in front of her at the fingertips, and finally flew away leisurely.

She breathed a sigh of relief, with a warm smile on her lips.

Just looking at it made Natsume feel calm.

"Natsume~" She waved her hand happily to Natsume, seeming to be in a good mood, "Welcome back."

"I am back."

Curiously, he lay down at the window and watched the funny look of the little monster swaying in the air, bumping into the billboard and being entangled in wires, he couldn't help covering his mouth and shaking his shoulders , "Did another monster come to you for help today?"

"Hmm... It feels like the number has increased in the past two days." Yusha coughed twice, obediently put on an extra dress at Natsume's insistence, "And Yin spends less and less time with me."

that fox?

Natsume raised her eyebrows, shouldn't it be the most sticky to the feather yarn.

"Well, Yin will show up by himself when I miss you, don't worry."

There was indeed no other possibility, so Yu Sha had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, Nishimura and Beiben are very concerned about you."
