?——The fleeting meeting and parting, every moment, I want to cherish.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye, half of the summer vacation is over soon, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.Natsume, who moved to Osaka, has gradually gotten used to the sweltering heat and the new family.

At noon that day, Natsume, who was too hot to take a nap, asked about Xia Qing.

"Oh...you want to know what happened when I was alive?" Leaning lazily on the tatami, Xia Qing raised her eyebrows and showed a faint smile, her tone was indifferent, "Actually, there is nothing to say, probably just like you before life is pretty much the same.”

Looking at Natsume's slightly inquiring expression, Xia Qing smiled lowly, but the original crisp laughter was laced with a trace of loneliness for no reason: "Most of my life is lonely, and working hard to grow is possible in loneliness." Best game ever played."

"……same as me."

"Ah, it should be the same, always alone, alone. But maybe there is a little difference—because no 'people' accept me, so I try to be friends with youkai."

"monster?"

"Yeah." Xia Qing lazily turned over and lay on her back. She stretched out a slightly transparent hand to cover her forehead, with a faint smile and nostalgia in her tone, "Because I am very strong, I am not afraid Monsters. When no one was willing to accept me, those monsters gave me a lot, a lot of touch and joy.

"Whether it's a human or a monster, as long as you treat each other with sincerity, it makes no difference. Natsume, do you understand?"

There was an inexplicable look in the amber eyes of the young man sitting quietly opposite Xia Qing, his mood suddenly fell, with sentimentality and nostalgia, his voice was soft: "When I was young, there was a monster pretending to be a human to come and talk to me. Being friends, I was so happy that I was no longer alone. But after knowing that she was not a human being and was lying to me, I felt cheated and hurt. I cried and said 'go away' to her! Soon I moved out of there and never saw that person again..."

"She must be very sad, she was just too lonely and wanted someone to talk to. She said I was her only friend and I hurt her."

A cool palm stroked Natsume's head, and sighed softly: "Little Natsume, this is not your fault. I told you from the very beginning that I am no longer human just because I don't want to deceive you. You and she are not wrong in this matter, as long as you apologize, she will forgive you."

"Monsters... are very lonely. They seldom trust humans, because humans are too easy to betray, and because human life is too short. The more fleeting days bring them joy , the greater the pain after losing. Monsters and humans have a slight similarity, and the heart that longs for someone to accompany and fears loneliness is the same."

Xia Qing raised her hand, and she could feel the powerful spiritual power belonging to Lingzi circulating in her body endlessly.This is the only way she can exist as a soul, and it is also the reason why Natsume Reiko and Natsume Takashi can see the scenery of another world.

Natsume Reiko's early death was not unrelated to this powerful spiritual power.So, would Natsume Takashi... die at a very young age?

The long eyelashes trembled, and Xia Qing's heart was in a mess.

Do you want to seal Natsume's spiritual power?That way he won't die early.

After sealing the spiritual power, Natsume can no longer see her. The task has not been completed, and she will die, and she will die without even a chance of reincarnation.Is it worth it for this person?

This young man is innocent, he is a poor man played by fate just like her.This person is the first warmth in her dark life, she wants to save him...

Xia Qing gave a wry smile at the end, she liked Natsume Takashi, a young man who made people feel warm. Whether this kind of deep affection like family affection was due to Natsume Reiko's subtle influence or her own feelings seemed to be no longer important at this moment.

"Natsume, there is one thing I want to tell you." No matter what your final choice is.

Leaning against the window, Xia Qing turned his back to Natsume, and said to Xia Feng, "Xiamu, spiritual power is not something a weak human body can bear. The spiritual power in your body is very strong, but you don't have it. Find a way to control them, this spiritual power will only bring you trouble and misfortune. I died young just because my body couldn't bear the powerful spiritual power, so Natsume, do you... want to seal the spiritual power?"

After not hearing Natsume's answer for a long time, Xia Qing paused for a moment and continued: "As long as you seal your spiritual power, you can completely get rid of the troubles of another world, and your lifespan will not be overdrawn by uncontrollable spiritual power."

"Then I won't see the world of monsters again, will I? Even if my sister is standing next to me, I can't... notice it?" Xia Mu's tone was bewildered, as if eagerly looking forward to Xia Qing Deny in general.

Xia Qing was silent for a moment, but in Xia Mu's eyes, it was as difficult as ten years.The crisp voice was a little hoarse at this time, with an unconcealable confusion and sadness: "Ah, probably so. After sealing the spiritual power, Natsume will not be able to see me like ordinary people."

"I don't want it!" A stubborn and unhesitating voice exploded in the silent room, Xia Mu stared stubbornly at Xia Qing, who was facing away from him, with a determined look in his amber eyes, " I don't want to seal the spiritual power!"

After saying the words of refusal, Natsume began to say what he wanted to say: "I don't want to become a person again! I have always been a person. Isn't my sister the same as me? Not my friend and Relatives? I don’t want to lose again, don’t leave me alone again!”

"You're going to die, little Natsume."

"That's better than being alone all the time! Even though my sister and I won't be together for a long time, I will cherish every moment with my relatives!" The stubborn, uncompromising voice of a young man, with undeniable determination and firm.

Ah, how could I forget.People like her and Natsume never fear death the most, but being abandoned and being alone!

Xia Qing closed her eyes, and suddenly some pictures that were so long ago that she thought she had forgotten them suddenly appeared in her mind.Who is the crying man curled up in the corner in the dark?Who is the person who is surrounded by loneliness and can't breathe?Who is the man whose eyes are full of panic?

"I promise you, I won't seal your spiritual power anymore." After a long, long time, Natsume finally heard a slight compromise than a sigh.

"Human beings are too fragile to bear too much spiritual power. So little Natsume, you must learn to control your own spiritual power, um... In fact, there are many demon extermination masters with spiritual power in this world, but the demon extermination masters Will not be harmed by their own spiritual power. The reason is that they can perfectly control their own spiritual power."

"Then shall I become a demon exorcist?" Natsume hesitated, he did not hold any malice towards monsters, although monsters did bring a lot of trouble to his life, but he believed that not all monsters were evil wanting to harm humans.

Xia Qing shook his head, turned around and looked directly at Xia Mu: "You are not suitable to be a demon exorcist, in fact I probably am not suitable either. I just hope you can learn from the method of exorcising demons to control the spirit in your body." Li, Natsume, I don't want you to become a demon exorcist."

"Why?" Natsume was a little puzzled. He never knew that there were so many people who could see monsters in the world, and demon extermination—why did my sister decide that neither of them was suitable for this profession?Could it be...

Closing his eyes, Xia Qing confirmed Xia Mu's conjecture by saying: "We cannot accept the idea of ​​demon masters. They think that monsters are dark and ugly. Monsters can change people's hearts and drag good people into darkness." , endangering the world. For the exorcist, monsters are enemies and tools.”

"I can't accept such a concept, such an idea. I admit that monsters do change people's hearts, but this change is mutual. Monsters can change us, and we can change them. I have been trying to Change to try, to face these changes.”

"Natsume, do you agree with my thoughts?" Xia Qing looked serious, with a dazzling light shining in his eyes, which was the brilliance of being extremely persistent in his own beliefs and ideas.

Involuntarily immersed in Xia Qing's words, Xia Mu nodded in a daze.The boy's handsome face was stained with firmness and seriousness: "I agree. Monsters have brought a lot of trouble and danger to my life. I have also avoided monsters, but I always think that monsters are not all evil. Maybe I should Try to understand, not just run away from."

"Sister, I want to be like you. Firm, enthusiastic, free and easy, I can't keep avoiding and stagnate timidly."

Xia Qing told Natsume that some ideas and ideas came from Natsume Reiko 50 years ago. She wanted to preserve some of Reiko's things and deliver them to Natsume Takashi.This is not just to complete some main task, but out of the sympathy for Natsume Reiko and Natsume Takashi in my heart.

But what she didn't expect was that the consequence of doing so was that she got a lot of benefits by mistake.

When the familiar system notification sound came, Xia Qing still couldn't recover.
