"Natsume, I want to eat the manju from Nanakaya~ manju~"

Since that round, lucky cat appeared next to Natsume, his life has changed dramatically.

Takashi Natsume, who was originally afraid of and avoided yokai, gradually discovers...

In fact, monsters, just like humans, also have emotions and desires.

Loneliness can also happen.

I will miss it.

They also use clumsy ways to express those unspoken emotions.

Natsume, on the other hand, is more like a bridge.

It continuously showcases the tender yet profound bonds between humans and yokai.

From the first episode to now, viewers have accompanied Natsume through one story after another.

Dew Goddess and Grandma Hanako.

A tiny deity exists because of the faith of Grandma Hanako, the last believer.

Grandma Hanako comes to the shrine to make offerings every day, and the Dew God stands in the shrine every day, watching over her.

For decades, it has remained unchanged.

Until Grandma Hanako grew old and passed away.

The Dew God also vanished.

"Once you've been loved, and then fall in love with someone else, that feeling is unforgettable."

These words brought tears to the eyes of countless viewers.

Time rain, swifts...

They all have their own stories.

Every story is so tender it makes you want to cry.

But today's episode

It's destined to make the audience both laugh and cry.

Starlight Video: Episode 7 of Natsume's Book of Friends is now available.

A dense forest.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light.

A little fox is running in the forest.

He ran to a hat that had fallen into the grass.

It was a human hat.

It's beige and has a small bow.

The little fox's eyes lit up.

"So beautiful."

"Take it home and show it to your mother."

"Mother……"

The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly the next second.

He said softly.

Something was swirling in his eyes.

But he blinked quickly.

He sniffed hard.

"No, you can't."

He said to himself.

"Boys shouldn't cry."

"I will live on alone, strong and resilient."

For just twenty seconds, there was not a single line of narration.

There wasn't a single unnecessary shot.

The comments section was already bursting with excitement.

"Waaaaah... Little fox, he doesn't have a mother anymore... (heartbroken)"

"Guangda, open the door! Go ahead and throw a knife, go ahead and open the door! It's only been thirty seconds! In thirty seconds you've already fed me a mouthful of glass shards!"

"Natsume! Natsume, come quick! There's a lonely little fox here that desperately needs to be adopted!"

"Wait a minute, the little fox is a boy? I'm heartbroken..."

"Something's not right upstairs, but I've also broken up with my boyfriend."

"The male fox smells even better! Mommy loves you!"

The scene changes.

Takashi Natsume, carrying his luggage, is heading to Kariwa Onsen to participate in a training camp organized by his school.

"Your smile is rather eerie, Natsume."

A familiar voice came from the backpack.

Natsume paused for a moment.

Look down.

The backpack zipper was pushed open from the inside.

A round, chubby head, resembling a lucky cat, peeked out from inside.

The cat teacher squinted.

"Teacher! When did you arrive?!"

"As your bodyguard, isn't it only natural for me to follow you?"

The cat teacher spoke with righteous indignation.

"Besides, I've never tried the steamed buns from Yanyu Onsen before."

Natsume: "..."

He sighed.

"That's true."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Nyanko-sensei is all about the steamed buns!"

"The bodyguard is a pretense; the real purpose is to freeload off others."

Natsume: I'm used to it.

"This couple is so sweet."

In the forest near the training camp.

Natsume heard a noise.

"Get out of this forest, you piece of trash!"

"Get out! Get out! Take your tattered hat with you!"

Natsume frowned and strode over.

Part the bushes.

Two mid-level monsters were surrounding a small figure.

It was a little fox.

They huddled on the ground, shivering.

"stop!"

Natsume stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of the little fox.

"What are you doing? How dare you bully such a young child!"

"stop!"

The two intermediate-level demons were taken aback for a moment, then looked Natsume up and down.

"Humans?"

"How dare you, mere humans, look down on us!"

"I'll eat you up right now!"

They clearly didn't recognize Natsume and assumed he was just an ordinary, meddlesome human boy.

boom!

boom!

Two clean and decisive punches to the face.

One second!!!

The two mid-level monsters didn't even have time to scream before they were beaten until they saw stars and collapsed to the ground.

The little fox was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

He picked up the hat while Natsume wasn't looking.

With a "whoosh," it darted into the depths of the dense forest and disappeared.

The cat teacher jumped down from the tree.

"You're such a busybody, Natsume."

Natsume smiled.

"There's nothing I can do about it, I can't bear to see it."

"Hahaha, you stinking out-of-town monster, you have no idea of ​​Lord Natsume's strength!"

"Is it possible that Natsume is from out of town, while the two yokai are locals?"

"Monster: Outsiders are bullying locals, is there no law? Is there no justice?"

"Hilarious, Natsume's strength is getting stronger and stronger."

"Two punches and he's dead! Just how powerful is Natsume?"

"This is the strength of a man who's been chased by monsters for over a decade! (doge)"

The dormitory life continues.

But Natsume did not forget that little fox.

He vaguely sensed the gaze hidden in the bushes.

And the little fox was indeed silently watching this extraordinary human.

"Natsume... always has a smile on his face."

The little fox watched Natsume and his classmates laughing and joking from afar.

"However, it feels a bit fake..."

An idea sprouted in his young mind:

"Maybe... he's like me? Just pretending to be human, but actually all alone?"

"In that case...wouldn't it be better if he lived with me in the forest?"

"Right, Mom?"

He spoke softly to the air, to the hat.

"Waaaaah, little fox..."

"He wanted to live with Natsume because he felt Natsume was lonely..."

"Two lonely people, no, a man and a fox, met."

"Natsume probably already noticed him a long time ago, didn't he?"

Yes.

Natsume had already discovered it.

He was walking down the street when he suddenly stopped.

I glanced back in a certain direction.

There, the bushes swayed gently.

He smiled.

Keep going.

The cat teacher followed at his feet.

"What are you planning to do?"

Natsume remained silent for a few seconds.

"The training camp is almost over."

He said.

"After I went back, he was all alone again."

The cat teacher glanced at him.

"It's too late, Natsume."

The cat teacher's eyes seemed to see right through everything.

As if to confirm what Nyanko-sensei said.

A sudden downpour struck.

Natsume had nowhere to hide in the forest and looked rather disheveled.

Just then, a huge banana leaf stretched out from the side.

Natsume looked down and saw the little fox with only half its face showing.

She was looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"Thanks."

He took the leaf and said softly.

A human and a fox, in this rainy forest, officially became entangled.

Seeing this, viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but smile like "aunties".

My heart feels warm.

"Waaaaah, why is it that even though the little fox and Natsume are both boys, I can't stop smiling like crazy while watching this?!"

"You're not the only one! I'm totally shipping them right now! Little fox x Natsume, gentle older man x lonely little darling, it's divine! Absolutely divine!"

"The 'older man/older woman' type is so healing! Unbeatable! Guangda really knows what they're doing!"
