This demon is highly suspicious.

Let's see what Luo Xia thinks.

After making up her mind, Yotsuya Miko relaxed a little.

While Yotsuya Miko was struggling with her decision, Rorschach had already crossed the finish line first.

Toru Ishikawa and Izumi Miyamura followed closely behind.

Next up was Takashi Natsume, who seemed unhurried.

"As expected of Luo Xia."

Walking up to Luo Xia, Takashi Natsume said with a light laugh.

I'm not surprised at all that Luo Xia took first place.

After all, the other party is a demon.

"That is."

The demon who had won the race against a group of humans said proudly.

Despite having just run 1,000 meters, both Luo Xia and Natsume Takashi looked extremely relaxed.

This contrasted sharply with the other people who were panting heavily.

"Natsume! Natsume!"

Just as Rorschach and Takashi Natsume were exchanging compliments, a familiar voice came from the bushes nearby.

Turning their heads, they saw a white, unidentified object appear in Rorschach and Takashi Natsume's line of sight.

The reason for cleaning up the unidentified object was that although it looked somewhat like a cat, its obese body shape was more like a pig.

Waddling his chubby body, Nyanko-sensei walked over to Natsume Takashi and said somewhat anxiously:

"I heard from other monsters that many monsters have come from the Kanto region."

"It seems like they came for you!"

Chapter 242 The Omen of Death is Shining

"What's wrong, Nyanko-sensei?"

Natsume Takashi was startled the moment he saw Nyanko-sensei and instinctively glanced around at his surroundings.

Only after realizing that no one except Rorschach had noticed did he crouch down and ask in a low voice.

"I already said that a lot of troublesome monsters came from the Kanto region."

"The cat teacher said somewhat impatiently."

As a drunken yokai, Nyanko-sensei's favorite thing is to get together with a group of yokai and have a drinking party.

The advantage of this kind of banquet is that you can drink as much as you want, and it's okay if you get drunk.

Moreover, you can glean a lot of useful information from it.

Well, for Nyanko-sensei, banquets are really just for drinking.

However, when I went out for drinks this morning, Nyanko-sensei received some news from other yokai.

It is said that a group of monsters ran over from Kanto.

The target is most likely the Book of Friends in Natsume's possession.

These yokai also have a great fondness for Natsume Takashi, this gentle and kind human.

Compared to humans, Takashi Natsume is much better at interacting with and befriending yokai.

Sometimes, even the most ferocious monsters are simpler than humans.

"Don't be nervous, Nyanko-sensei."

"It's fine."

Natsume Takashi, who was squatting on the ground, was trying to calm Nyanko-sensei down.

He, the person involved, seemed quite relaxed.

After news of the Book of Friends being in his possession spread among the yokai, the number of yokai eyeing the Book of Friends never dwindled.

Takashi Natsume himself had already gotten used to it.

If there hadn't been so many monsters coming this time, Nyanko-sensei wouldn't have been so flustered.

After all, monsters are synonymous with mystery and the bizarre.

They might not be strong enough; once Nyanko-sensei reverts to his original form, one of him can take on a whole group of them.

However, if someone tries to use some tricks, even Nyanko-sensei might not be able to defend against them.

After all, even Nyanko-sensei can't guarantee that he can stay on alert 24/7 and keep a close eye on Natsume's situation.

"How can I not be worried!"

Upon hearing Natsume Takashi's words, Nyanko-sensei immediately jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Although its form is essentially a chubby lucky cat.

"This isn't some kind of yokai from that small place like Yasaka!"

"These guys are from Kanto, truly ferocious monsters!"

"He's not just some small fry who only knows how to play pranks!"

Grabbing Natsume Takashi's collar, Nyanko-sensei said in a somewhat frantic tone.

The yokai on the Yasaka side also coveted the Book of Friends.

But they are different from the monsters of Kanto.

These monsters are truly in a constant state of fighting and killing.

In order to obtain the Book of Friends, they would not hesitate to kill Natsume, and might even drag others into the mess.

How could Nyanko-sensei not be worried?

Although I always say that the Book of Friends will be mine once you die.

But Nyanko-sensei had long considered Natsume a very important friend.

It wasn't because of the names on the friend's list.

They are true friends.

Natsume Takashi, whose collar had been grabbed, looked around with some concern, afraid that someone would notice Nyanko-sensei's unusual behavior.

After all, it would be very troublesome if a talking cat, just like a human, were discovered.

But so far, no one has looked this way.

It's like they don't exist.

Luo Xia, standing to the side, silently gave a thumbs-up, indicating that it wasn't a big problem.

After casting a grateful glance at Rorschach, Natsume Takashi somewhat laboriously pulled Nyanko-sensei off his chest.

It wasn't that the cat teacher was gripping too tightly or struggling too fiercely.

Instead..........

'It seems like Nyanko-sensei has gained weight again?'

Seeing the cat teacher's frustration, Takashi Natsume fell into deep thought.

I've already controlled my cat teacher's snacks, and I even take her out to exercise and lose weight.

But why is Nyanko-sensei's weight still increasing?

It’s weird.

Could it be that Nyanko-sensei is secretly having extra meals outside?

Luo Xia silently turned his head away.

Feeding the cat teacher is indeed a very interesting thing, so you can't blame me for this, right? (guilty face)

"It's alright, Nyanko-sensei."

Gently stroking the cat teacher's head, Takashi Natsume spoke softly.

The cat teacher's gentle voice, as always, calmed her down a bit.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Natsume is now surrounded by not only a group of demons and angels.

And that monster princess.

Although most great demons don't really care about this title.

But it is still quite intimidating to ordinary monsters.

This group of monsters came all the way from Kanto in a big way, so the princess of this monster certainly wouldn't leave them alone.

With this buffer zone in place, and with Rorschach, this somewhat abnormal demon, around Natsume, there's still that.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

Seeing that Nyanko-sensei had calmed down, Takashi Natsume turned to Rorschach beside him and said:

"Luo Xia, I'll probably need to trouble you again later."

Takashi Natsume had discussed this matter with Rorschach before.

In fact, Takashi Natsume is not a person who likes to bother others.

But this is the only way to put the cat teacher at ease.

Otherwise, Nyanko-sensei would definitely go crazy and make all sorts of outrageous arrangements.

After all, according to Nyanko-sensei, he often dealt with these guys back when he was a majestic and awe-inspiring great monster.

I am very familiar with the methods these guys use.

Takashi Natsume expressed his doubts about this.

It's not that I doubt Nyanko-sensei's dealings with those monsters, but I have serious doubts about the phrases "majestic and awe-inspiring" and "majestic and imposing."
