I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"No, I've already looked for it on the streets of Yizicho. It's long green hair and wearing white clothes, right?"

"That's right, this is bad. We have so many monsters looking for it, but we still can't find it. Madara-sama also has no choice but to ask us little monsters because he was injured by the monster exorcist. As a result, our abilities are limited. I haven't found it after searching for so long."

The more Li Yan listened, the more curious he became. He felt that the monster with long green hair and white clothes...wasn't it the monster girl he brought.

But the next sentence made Li Yan feel completely chilled. It is estimated that this was the experience he regretted the most in his life.

"If you can't find it anymore, the tree demon girl will disappear forever if you don't return to her body because she is too far away from her body. If this is the case, we don't know what to do. Tell Natsume-sama and the others."

Chapter 59 The Extraordinary Means of Escorting a Girl

At night, just after ten o'clock in the night, the silver-white moonlight fell on this dark forest, the river water glowed silver from time to time, and the slight mountain wind blew this peaceful place.

The trees beside the boulevard and a jizo on the way up the mountain make this place look a little old and deep, and a mist blows past, blowing the girl who is about to disappear.

She is a monster, if she is too far away from her main body, not only her main body will gradually wither, but she will also disappear...

Is this the sad thing about monsters?

Even going to meet the person you want to see, you have to pay such a price...

She sat quietly on a rough resting stone chair beside Dizang, the only clean resting place in this relatively humid area, she looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the place here was the same as where she was The sky is different.

"If I disappear, Natsume, will you still remember me?"

She sat there quietly, letting her body exude a faint luster, thinking to herself.

Three and a half hours, plus the journey from the station back to Natsume's house, it adds up to four hours. In any case, the demon power that is already exhausted cannot last for four hours, but she came here and got along with Natsume. Cherish every minute and every second. But sure enough, humans and monsters can't stay together, that one sits on a tree to pass the time, ushers in the four seasons, sends away the cold and warm days, she is already tired, so why not just come and see which one meets her The child, it is better to grow up to be a gentle man now, even if it is only for a moment, she will not regret it, this is her choice.

But, I don't know, after Li Yan knows the truth, will he blame himself for it?

"It would be great if I wasn't a monster...I obviously thought about it, and I will guard you for the rest of my life. As expected, it's just empty words. If I'm not a monster, I probably can do it...It's a pity..."

Under the paper blindfold with her painted eyes, tears gradually flowed out, giving off a faint luster in the moonlight. She is not strong, just an ordinary monster, but after witnessing his new adoptive parents with Natsume, friends, and other monsters around her, she has been reluctant to leave, even though Madara has always said, although There is not enough time, but she can still fight for it... But she still chooses to stay by Natsume's side more.

Is it all... over?

The demon power dissipated more and more, and she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep there peacefully.

Gradually, it seems to start to dream...

She dreamed that she saw that familiar place and returned to that familiar place, but for some reason, when she kept walking towards that bright cherry tree, she couldn't get in with her body no matter what. distance……

can't go back...

No matter how hard you try to catch up, you can't get back to that tree.

That uneasy sense of loneliness tortured her body and mind so much that she couldn't help trying to reach out and grab something...

Suddenly, a hand full of bloodstains and mud stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her hand. At this moment, she couldn't help opening her eyes again.

"?!"

At this moment, she was slightly taken aback, and realized that she was no longer in the cold woods.

A spacious back picked her up and began to walk down the mountain.

"……Eh?"

She made a soft sound of surprise.

"Are you awake?"

Li Yan asked casually.

Under the silvery white moonlight, surrounded by thorny weeds, the mountain is full of potholes and muddy roads after the rain, and he is covered in mud, wounded by the thorny landslide in the mountain, and gradually leaves with her on his back. that cold place.

According to Li Yan's thinking, she does not belong to such a cold place.

"Li Yan..." The girl looked at him in surprise.

Why?

Why can she be found?

The dryad girl looked at him in amazement. At this time, a strong wind was blowing through the woods, and she untied her goblin blindfold, and stared blankly at the man with that bright green pupil.

"You actually ran here, you know how much effort I spent to find you who was almost transparent from the ancient road in the mountain forest..."

With Li Yan's dirty face and his tired eyes, after more than an hour of running around, he finally used the power of the editing system to find the sleeping Dryad girl within a range of tens of meters.

It is estimated that the monsters couldn't find her because her current state was really close to being transparent. And he was thinking about what the tree demon said, what he wanted most was to go back to the forest, so he found the forest, I don't know if he was lucky or not.

Suddenly, with some apology, Li Yan said to the dryad girl behind him: "...Sorry, I didn't know you were a dryad. Trees can't move too far, so I'll take you You came out, and almost did something bad with good intentions, at this point in time, I'll take you back now."

"go back?"

The dryad girl was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, then she shook her head and explained: "Li Yan, this matter is not your responsibility, as I said, this is my own choice, my time Stagnated... I am a monster, and the time of human beings is different, and I can't move far away. Therefore, my time has always been stagnant, even if it disappears and exists, and this time , even if I start to go back, I can't really go back..."

"There is no practice at the moment, just relying on guesswork, it is just a false proposition. Whether it is a tram or a bus, I am carefully considering all the methods that can be used... I originally planned to let Teacher Cat fly directly. You go back, but Teacher Cat has solemnly warned me that your weak demon power must be maintained by the power of the ground, and the method of flying in the air will not work at all... However, I still have a way to rush back .”

Li Yan began to analyze and said.

"Huh?" The Dryad girl was slightly taken aback.

Li Yan turned his head, his face was covered with mud and bloodstains, but no matter what, under the night sky, his eyes were like a cold light, shining like flames, and said: "It's dangerous, but I Since I brought you here and promised to take you back, I will definitely be able to do it, so don't give up easily, after all... If you really think about it so much, why do you still cry when you sleep? People who are stuck in time, but There will be no tears."

"..."

The girl stared blankly at him, gradually the paper blindfold was soaked with tears in the breeze, and was finally torn in the swing.

Originally always stubborn character, after all, in the eyes that don't believe that time can stand still, tears gradually shed disappointingly.

"Sorry, I don't want to disappear..."

"Obviously, I've just begun to feel the meaning of life... It's not good to be alone..."

Seeing it, Li Yan couldn't help but his own eyes also couldn't help getting moist.

"Let's gamble, use all I have to send you back in two hours." Li Yan frowned and said to her.

...

At eleven o'clock, Natsume Takashi and Cat Teacher asked many monsters to find the tree demon girl who chose to disappear quietly. When they were at a loss, suddenly, from the end of the dark street, a figure cautiously approached her. He came out with a kitten in his arms.

"Senior Li!"

Natsume Takashi saw clearly, and found that in the arms of Li Yan, who was covered in filth, was the Dryad girl.
