[Comprehensive] I am the Healing Department

?——Accompanied by various encounters, memories will remain in my heart forever.

Xia Qing has always been a willful person, and this time is no exception.She's going to take a walk-and-go trip (...).

The beginning of the trip was also the first world Xia Qing had ever experienced, the world called Natsume’s Book of Friends, filled with warm sunshine and cool summer wind, well, maybe I should add that it is a world that makes people feel healing and warm , A world of monsters shining with sunlight.It was also in that world that Xia Qing gained rare warmth.Xia Qing has always missed that world, the distressed boy Natsume Takashi who is like light.

When I arrived in that world, it was already a winter day where everything was silent.The sky was a bit gloomy, but it was not depressingly gloomy. There was no snow at this time, and the slightly dry cold wind in winter made passers-by involuntarily wrap their clothes tightly.On the treetops where the leaves are all gone and only the branches are left, a few foraging birds are chirping and flying, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet winter day.In winter, the mountains and forests in the distance always seem too closed and quiet, but they are not completely silent. In the depths of the forest, where humans cannot reach, there are still many wonderful things happening.

On the alternate trails, a young man wearing a thick cotton padded coat, his light brown soft hair was blown up by the cold wind and covered his gentle eyes, tightened his cotton padded coat tightly, and the young man sighed, "It's so cold, it's winter. The cold wind is already blowing!"

The plump, chubby cat was tied with a red thread around its neck, and was held by the young man. Hearing the young man's sigh, the fat cat, so chubby that its face and neck couldn't be found in the same color as a beckoning cat, raised its big round pancake. Face hummed and said: "Really, you are still as useless as ever! It's because you are as thin as a pencil that you are so afraid of the cold. They tell you to eat more, so you won't be afraid of the cold like me!"

The young man squinted at the fat cat, and snorted softly, "You look like a teacher, do you want to hibernate? Teacher, you are as fat as a ball, you don't look like a cat at all."...Like a pig.

"What are you talking about? It's not meat, it's hair, it's hair! I'm not chubby! Natsume, you really hate me the most, hehe..." The fat, big-faced cat's eyes hung into triangles He rolled his eyes and glared at Natsume and added angrily, "You don't even know this is Dongmao? Really!"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and the young man sighed helplessly: "Speaking of which, the teacher has really become heavier and heavier recently!" He raised his head to look at the desolate and vast sky, and then showed a soft and gentle smile.

The short-legged fat cat with a big face walked in front of him, and the grass on both sides of the trail was already a little taller than the fat cat whose legs were too short for cats.In such a rare leisure time, Natsume Takashi felt the long-lost peace and warmth.

After graduating from college, he returned to the small town where he attended high school and worked as an ordinary teacher in the high school he once attended.This land he is familiar with has given him and his grandmother Natsume Reiko a lot of warmth. It is the home of Natsume's soul and his home.

"Speaking of which, since the beginning of winter, I have rarely seen those friends." As if thinking of something, Natsume Takashi, who had grown into a gentle and handsome young man, sighed slightly disappointed.

Fat Maoban walked casually, and replied lazily: "It's probably hibernating, maybe it's preparing for the winter festival in the depths of the forest! Those guys are always free!"

"It sounds very good, they have always lived happily like this!" Smiling softly, the young man's comfortable smile was like the warm sun piercing through the clouds in winter, with a warm feeling.

Rolling his eyes, Madara was speechless: "How many times do I have to say, those guys are just boring! Boring!"

"Yes, yes, teacher, I understand." Natsume responded with a good temper, but Natsume did not continue the previous topic.As Madara said, there are so many festivals for youkai, in fact, it's just because... the loneliness of the years is too long.Thinking of this, Natsume couldn't help shaking his head. In winter, he would occasionally be so sentimental, and would also think about whether the teacher and those monsters would be more lonely after he died.

Although there are many evil spirits among monsters, Natsume always believes that many monsters have soft hearts.Even for Madara, who has always seemed heartless, his heart is actually very soft, and the monsters always miss and feel sad for the human beings they cherished and trusted, but they left before them.Natsume has always known that Madara has always missed Reiko. Although those sadness and reluctance are always hidden under the heartless appearance, Natsume who has been with Madara for nearly ten years can still feel it. The pain and indelible sadness for the loss of a friend.

If... he passed away too, Madara would be so sad, right?Suddenly, I feel that time is really the cruelest thing in this world.

Xia Qingyin lost her figure and quietly followed behind Natsume and Madara.Xia Qing couldn't help laughing several times when he heard their extremely ordinary daily conversations.Even after leaving for so long, even though the years have been flowing forward without stopping, there are still many things that have not changed.

But looking at Natsume's suddenly dim and lost expression, Xia Qing was still a little puzzled.After thinking for a long time, Xia Qing realized that it was not human beings who could not experience the sadness of the passing of time, and Xia Mu was worried.

It's not impossible for Natsume to have a lifespan as long as a monster, but Xia Qing doesn't intend to do that.Natsume is a human being, and it may be most appropriate for him to live like a human being. To have all the love and hatred, warmth and tranquility of a human being, and to obtain infinite splendor in a short life is the way a human being should have a way of life.

Besides...Xia Qing is not qualified to make the choice of 'obtaining eternal life' for Natsume.Of course, if Natsume wanted to live longer, even if Xia Qing disagreed, she would still help, although based on what she knew about Natsume... he would never make such a choice.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!.'

"Bang!" The obviously heavy fat cat hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise.What makes people wonder what to say is that after such a heavy blow, the fat cat got up as if nothing had happened, and complained while scratching its face with its short paws, "Oh, Natsume!" It's so annoying that they didn't catch me."

But, Madara, if Natsume really catches you...you will probably be dragged and rolled down... ╮(╯▽╰)╭You really are a cat with thick winter fur!

With short legs spread out, Madara was stuck to the ground like a big cake, which looked a little funny.He complained angrily, until a pair of warm and slender hands embraced him.

Feeling being hugged, Madara looked up pretending to be a cat, and saw that the person holding him was a stranger he had never seen before.This person was wearing a strange but inexplicably good-looking cyan robe, and his jet-black hair hung down to his ankles.It's obviously a strange face of a stranger, but Keban feels inexplicably familiar, as if he has seen this person somewhere before.

Xia Qing, with a peaceful smile and peaceful eyebrows, weighed Banban, and said with a slightly playful smile: "What a fat cat, eating so fat, is it planning to hibernate?"

"Meow meow meow meow!!!" Madara was furious when he heard this, and stretched out his sharp cat claws to grab Xia Qing's face.

It's a pity that before the cat's paw was about to succeed, Xia Qing lightly blocked it.Squeezing the soft cat's claws, Xia Qing laughed: "Your legs are really short, I'm afraid you won't be able to see that you have legs if you stand on the ground."

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"Although this guy looks terribly familiar, he can't stand such banter and ridicule!Where is he fat and where are his legs short?He is the most handsome and powerful big monster Madara!

Petting the cat's soft cat, Xia Qing smiled and shook his head and walked forward. Not far ahead was Natsume who hurried over.

"I'm sorry, my cat has caused you trouble! Thank you for helping me bring the cat back, I'm so grateful!" Natsume ran close panting, he glanced at Madara quietly, and said to Xia Qing with some embarrassment .

Xia Qing looked at Xia Mu with deep eyes, and was stunned for a moment. She sighed softly in her heart with some nostalgia and sigh: "Little Xia Mu has grown up... This is so good, this child can finally get rid of the shadow of childhood, walk away Into the warm sunshine."

Shaking his head slowly, Xia Qing said to Natsume in a warm voice: "No, there is no trouble. Your cat is... cute and well-behaved. He is a good companion. With him by your side, you will have a good time. I am very happy, your life is very lively, and you will never be lonely again." Reaching out his hand, he returned Madara to Natsume, and Xia Qing took advantage of the moment when his palm touched Natsume to inject a trace of gentle mana into Natsume's body, killing him for a long time. The evil spirit that is harmful to health from contact with monsters is eliminated.

"You must cherish the time with him, these are very good memories. I believe that the bond between you and him is stronger than any existence in this world." Xia Qing said to Natsume gently and firmly , although he no longer recognizes her, but... this idea of ​​wanting his happiness has not changed from the very beginning.

You must be happy, you deserve all the tenderness in this world.

"Goodbye, Natsume."

It's really, really nice to see you again.

When she met someone she felt inexplicably familiar with, she said many gentle but strange words to him.Natsume didn't know why, watching the man turn and leave, the blue back fading away from his field of vision, he actually felt a sense of sourness flooding his heart for no reason.

"Is it you?" In the end, a slightly confused murmur drifted away in the wind without leaving a trace.

Soon after returning home, the sky darkened.The weather in winter is always fickle. There may be warm sunshine at one moment, and it may be gloomy at the next moment.Natsume was a little out of his mind, he sat in front of the table with his head on his hands and was in a daze of boredom.He is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then, and has more or less come into contact with some existences similar to exorcising demons over the years.It is also because of the contact with these people that Natsume has a lot more understanding and understanding of the world of monsters and humans with spiritual power.

I also know... how special and rare Reiko's situation is.There has never been a human being who can survive in the form of a spirit body after death, because the spiritual power in the human body generally dissipates when the body dies. Few people have such a powerful spirit like Reiko, even after 50 years of death. strength.

It is also because of Reiko's strength and peculiarity that after Natsume thought of the inexplicably familiar stranger she met today, some inexplicable thoughts appeared in her mind.Maybe, that person... is really Reiko, maybe it is!

"Swish..." A small voice came from the window, as if something had hit the window.

Natsume suddenly raised his head to look towards the window, and when he saw tiny snowflakes flying down outside the window, he lowered his head in a sense of loss and sighed softly.At that moment, he almost thought it was the sound of Reiko tapping lightly on the window when she came back.In the memories of those years ago, occasionally Reiko went out for a walk, and when she came back, she would float by the window and knock on the window to ask Natsume to open the window, and he would go up and say "You are back" with joy.

When those memories that were too long ago were recalled by Natsume, they didn't seem to fade at all due to the passage of time.Those beautiful and warm pasts that seem to be reminded of each other, those ordinary to boring daily life and memories are the most beautiful existence.

"Ahh... Teacher is really lazy." Turning his head to look at Madara, whose round body was lying on the kettle, sleeping soundly and snoring a little, Natsume propped his face and smiled lightly.I don’t know where this habit started, Natsume Takashi always has a dull expression on his face, whether it’s a happy smile, an angry frown, or sadness when he’s sad, those expressions are always faint, as ethereal and distant as clouds .At this moment, even though he was smiling, his eyebrows and eyes were faint.

He has already experienced too much pain and sorrow, so it seems to be instinctive to show a gentle smile to hide his bewilderment more often.

Touching Madara Nuanhuhu's fluffy back hair, Natsume poked Madara's plump flesh, and joked: "You are so fat, but the teacher is inexplicably afraid of the cold! This kettle has become a special thing for the teacher. !"

Laughing and joking like this, Keban was still sleeping soundly with a small snoring sound, and there was no sign of being woken up at all.Natsume shook his head, sighed helplessly, but when he was about to turn back, he saw two exquisite gift boxes stacked on top of Xiaotao's previously empty table next to his friend's account.

! ! !When seeing the two gift boxes that suddenly appeared, Natsume was surprised even though he had seen many strange things.Such a close distance, but he didn't notice anything, the person who gave this gift... Who is it?

The snowflakes outside the window were still flying, and the beautiful hexagonal crystals swirled and fell, and there was a slight rustling sound from the window.The room was extremely warm, and the fat, big-faced tricolor cat was sleeping soundly on the kettle, purring a little.It was obviously just a normal scene, but when looking at the two gift boxes on the table, Natsume suddenly felt emotions like sadness and joy, and that kind of sour emotion permeated Natsume's heart , making him stunned for a moment.

"Meow... Meow..." Madara stretched out his short, fat little paws and scratched his face, before waking up in a daze.He sniffed, blowing a transparent bubble and with a crackle the bubble shattered and stuck to his nose.Feeling a little uncomfortable rubbing his nose, Madara raised his big face to look at Natsume, his black eyes rolled around, and asked a little confused, "Natsume, what's wrong?"

Natsume recovered from his daze, he raised his hand and rubbed his soft light brown hair, and muttered in answer to Madara's question with a somewhat bewildered and puzzled expression: "Ah, it's okay... no, teacher, Look at this, these two gifts appeared next to the account of friends when I didn't realize it at all?"

"Friends account?!" Mentioning this topic, Madara suddenly came to his senses. He rushed towards Natsume with his teeth and claws, waving his short claws non-stop and said angrily, "Do you still have the face to mention the friend account? How have you messed with my account of friends over the years! It’s already so thin, it’s still so thick when Reiko handed it over to you, my account of friends!!!”

Rubbing the forehead, Natsume couldn't do anything about this kind of spot: "Ah... sorry, but teacher, the account of friends is not the point now, the point is that-" Natsume pointed to the exquisite packaging next to the account of friends. The two large gift boxes softened their expressions, "These two gifts seem to be...for us!"

"Gift? Wow, there is a gift!" Madara rushed over, and then saw a sky blue sticky note with warm light yellow flowers in full bloom on the gift box. It was written in delicate and simple handwriting: gift Kishi and Madara.

When Madara saw this line of writing, he couldn't help but froze in place. Although as a monster, he was not proficient in human writing, such handwriting was really, really familiar to him... It was as if, he I have seen the same handwriting countless times.

Natsume also saw the words on the sticky note, brushing the words lightly with his hand, Natsume lowered his eyes with a soft and peaceful expression: "Teacher, let's open the box, this is a gift for us."

"En." In response, Madara walked to the side with short legs, waiting for Natsume to open the gift box.After all, with his current appearance, it is really difficult to do such delicate tasks as opening the gift box.

Natsume first picked up the smaller gift box on top, wrapped with light blue colored paper and ribbons, opened it gently, and looked at the pair of exquisite bracelets made of tourmaline placed in the gift box He couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.This bracelet is extremely delicate, made of extremely clear tourmaline with green color throughout, the two bracelets exude a quiet and clean atmosphere, which makes people feel peaceful.

This is indeed a pair of very beautiful bracelets, but how do you look at it... is it also a matching bracelet for a man and a woman?Although the young Natsume who has graduated from university and became a teacher is actually a simple person who has not experienced any feelings.

"Wahhahaha... Did the person who gave you this mean to urge Natsume to find a girl to marry?" Madara rolled on the small couch with a smile, his belly was rolling on his back, his chubby belly was laughing so hard twitched.

Natsume didn't speak, but the smile on his face couldn't help but helplessly.Sighing, picking up the men's tourmaline bracelet, Natsume suddenly felt a quiet and peaceful atmosphere coming from the bracelet, making him calm down.

"This is not an ordinary tourmaline bracelet! The aura on it is extremely pure and clean. If you wear this bracelet all the time, you won't suffer too much damage even if you keep in contact with monsters! And..." Madara fiddled with the jade in the box. The slightly smaller women's bracelet has big round cat eyes with a touch of regret, "If Reiko had such a bracelet back then, she probably wouldn't have passed away at such a young age because of her too powerful demon power."

Staring at Natsume, Madara said solemnly and solemnly, "Treasure this gift, it is a guardian object that can keep you healthy and live forever! And..." Fiddled with the woman's bracelet, Madara He laughed again, "Even if you want to find a girl to marry Natsume, you won't be troubled, hahaha..."

"Teacher..." He called helplessly, Natsume was a little embarrassed and shy, but he was really grateful for this gift.Putting on the clear and transparent tourmaline bracelet and feeling the pure and peaceful atmosphere, Takashi Natsume softened his brows and whispered softly, "I am really grateful for this gift. Thank you..."

After stroking the tourmaline for a while, Natsume was finally awakened from his thoughts by Madara's eager and lively urging voice: "Hey, Natsume, hurry up, open this gift of mine, hurry up!"

The other gift was wrapped in light yellow colored paper with dark patterns and white satin. This gift box was much larger than Natsume's.After opening the gift box and seeing the things inside, Natsume reflexively turned his head to look at Madara. After seeing Madara's overweight and round figure like a ball, Natsume sighed helplessly: "This is really Add to the confusion, the teacher is already so fat!"

"Wow, small dried fish! Small dried fish! My favorite small dried fish!" Madara's eyes lit up, and he jumped on those small dried fish.

Pressing the forehead, Natsume looked at Madara eating the dried fish with some helplessness and connivance, and couldn't help lowering his head to show a gentle expression.

No matter how much time has passed, the feeling of missing each other will not change. ?
