Natsume's Youth Story

“Yokai are not the masters of this world, the masters of this world are humans, so the disappearance of youkai is not surprising.”

The cat teacher shook his head.

Although this is cruel, it is an irresistible fact, so after a long time, he no longer cares about such a situation.

“And what?”

Natsume became curious, he really knew too little about the affairs of the yokai world.

“And then… Until modern times, after the explosion of technology, new monsters were born. ”

“Is it the case of Kaede?”

Natsume realized something.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

The cat teacher nodded, “Because of the changes in the human heart, such as inner instability, or denial of oneself, or even extreme desire… It will cause the monster to arise in the heart, and then entrench in the heart of the human being.

The monsters produced in this way are the most troublesome monsters, because people’s hearts… The possibilities are endless, so… No matter what kind of power, it can be displayed, only you can’t think of it. ”

“This…”

Even if the cat teacher didn’t say it explicitly, Natsume felt a burst of horror at this moment.

“Then how to solve the monsters generated in this way?”

Natsume quickly asked.

“There is no way.”

The cat teacher shook his head, “Even if you go to find the demon exterminator, it is useless at all, because it is a monster located in the heart, and no matter how powerful the demon slayer is, it will not affect a person’s heart at all, so… Unless it is the recovery of one’s own heart, there is no way to do it. ”

“In other words, if you want to solve Kaede’s problems, you can only rely on her own efforts?”

Natsume realized this.

“Natsume, are you hesitating?”

At this moment, Tsukimi suddenly looked at Natsume and spoke up.

“Hesitation?”

Natsume looked at Tsukimi strangely, not knowing what Tsukimi was talking about.

“I can feel the hesitation in your heart, Natsume.”

Tsukimi’s hand was placed on Natsume’s face, “You are hesitating, the current Kaede, if once it is restored, then the current Kaede will completely disappear, so you are hesitating, do you want to let the maple recover, don’t you?” ”

Tsukimi’s eyes saw Natsume’s heart.

“I…”

Natsume opened his mouth for a moment, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything, because as Tsukimi said, his heart was indeed hesitating.

“Tsukimi, cat-sensei, you say… What am I going to do? I really want to get Kaede back to normal, so that Uncle Zi and Aunt Tazi will also be relieved, but I am afraid again… Afraid of the disappearance of Kaede… I don’t really know what to do? ”

At this moment, Natsume’s whole person was at a loss, he really didn’t know what to do.

“Natsume…”

Tsukimi looked at the dazed and helpless Natsume, and felt more and more pity in his heart, stretched out his hand, and held Natsume in his arms.

“No need to be dazed, Natsume, do it according to your heart, it’s okay, no matter what, whether it is Kaede or Hana Kaede, it won’t blame you.”

Tsukimi said to Natsume very seriously.

“Natsume, there is no way to get Kaede back now?”

The cat teacher said helplessly, don’t make everything recover, okay? This kind of troublesome thing, when the time comes, think about it?

“Well, thank you, Tsukimi.”

Natsume thanked him, and then realized the situation between himself and Tsukimi, and quickly stepped back, his face a little rosy.

“Shy? Natsume, hee-hee. ”

Tsukimi looked at Natsume’s appearance and smiled.

“Just… It didn’t. ”

Natsume turned his head, embarrassed.

“That’s right, Natsume.”

Tsukimi thought of something at this moment and looked at Natsume, “Since you want me to follow you, then… Let me be your Shikigami, shall I? ”

“Why become my Shikigami? You are my friend, not my subordinate. ”

Natsume immediately shook his head, he regarded the other party as a friend, not as a subordinate.

“Natsume, come as she says.”

The cat teacher looked at Natsume and suggested.

“Why does even the cat teacher say that?”

Natsume was a little incomprehensible.

“Natsume, Tsukimi is different from me, I have this body as a shield, so even if the most powerful demon exterminator is in front of me, unless I take the initiative to expose it, otherwise, the other party will not be able to discover my identity.”

The cat teacher is very confident.

“However, Tsukimi is different, she is a youkai, if there is no Shikigami identity, then once she is met by the demon exterminator, she will be expelled, and even if she encounters some ruthless demon exterminator, she will be killed.

And once you have the identity of Shikami, unless there is hatred between the two demon exterminators, otherwise, there will be no demon slayer against Shikami, do you understand? ”

“So, making Tsukimi your Shikami is good for you and Tsukimi.”

“Is that so?”

Natsume couldn’t help but look at Tsukimi.

“That’s true.”

Tsukimi nodded, then motioned for Natsume to be reassured, “Don’t worry that you will bind me, because I want to be with you all the time, only then will I not feel lonely, will I?” ”

“And… Just remember to release me when you’re leaving. ”

“This… All right. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Natsume nodded and agreed, and then, using the method of the contract-style god given by Tsukimi, contracted with Tsukimi.

“See you in the moon, I promise, I will definitely let you go.”

While making the Shikigami contract, Natsume also made his own promise.

Natsume’s promise was also written into the contract.

“Okay, okay, Natsume, hurry up and write a novel for me, and then hurry up and submit it, you know? I also want to eat Nanatsujiya steamed buns. ”

In the next second, the cat teacher began to urge Natsume.

“…… Yes yes yes, I see. ”

Natsume feels that the cat teacher is more anxious than himself?

“Huh, Natsume and Cat Sensei?”

Tsukimi looked at the noisy appearance of the two people and showed a knowing smile.

Welcome back, Natsume.
