Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

soon……

"The monster in the tree."

In Natsume's memory, the monster appeared, the monster that had been hiding in the tree, playing with him, constantly teasing and scaring him.

"I see. I finally understand."

After recalling what happened at that time, Natsume can finally understand the other person's behavior.

After going through so much, now when he thinks back on it and thinks about the other person's behavior, Natsume feels a little more understanding.

"You are really gentle, huh? At that time, you kept appearing by my side and accompanying me in this way."

"Sorry……"

Natsume really wanted to say sorry to the other person. At that time, he could not understand the other person and instead resented him.

Suddenly, Natsume was stunned there. For some reason, an emotion and an impulse suddenly surged in his body.

He... wanted to see the other person, wanted to find the other person.

"I...want to find her."

Natsume made this decision.

But then, Natsume shook his head.

Because he suddenly realized that time was different.

In the original era, he might be able to go back and find the other person, but now, what reason does he have to see the other person?

It seems like the other party doesn’t even know him?

This is becoming very embarrassing.

"Natsume? What's wrong? From the look of you, did you think of something? Did you think of that monster?"

Reiko looked at Natsume's changing expression and asked curiously.

"Well, I thought of the other party's identity."

Natsume nodded honestly.

"Natsume, tell me quickly, what happened back then?"

Sayuri looked at Natsume with anticipation, indicating that she really wanted to know what had happened.

"Yes, yes, Natsume, tell us quickly."

Both Reiko and Kiyoyuki looked at Natsume with expectant eyes, expressing their anticipation.

Even Ban and Zhuo who were standing nearby pricked up their ears and began to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"What happened at the beginning?"

After hearing Sayuri's words, Natsume showed a bitter smile, but there was no need to hesitate, so he said it directly.

"At first, because I was still young, I could only be passed around among my relatives until I was sent to the home of that relative. Then, I met that monster."

"And then?"

Sayuri and the others became interested at this moment.

"And... that monster is also lonely, right? And since I'm the only one who can see her, she keeps appearing in front of me, playing pranks on me, and scaring me..."

Speaking of this, Natsume recalled the past scenes and couldn't help but smile.

Maybe I seemed very angry at the time, but now, after growing up, looking back, I realize that it was because of the other party's prank that I didn't feel so lonely at that time.

"What? It's really boring."

The spotted fish nearby expressed boredom after hearing this, so he stopped listening and continued to eat the grilled fish and meat in his hands.

Did it think there was something interesting?

Is this the result?

Isn't this a waste of time?

"So gentle? That monster."

After hearing what Natsume said, Sayuri supported her face with both hands and smiled.

"She is indeed very gentle, but a little stiff. She doesn't actively show concern."

Qingxue also commented on this.

"Really? I didn't quite understand it at first, but now that I think about it, he is indeed a gentle monster."

Natsume said with a smile.

"So are we going to find each other?"

After seeing the expression on Natsume's face, Reiko suddenly asked Natsume.

"Hey?"

Now it was Natsume's turn to stand there in a daze.

"According to your description, Natsume, the other party should be a monster formed by a big tree, so if you go to look for it, it should still be there."

Reiko explained to Natsume.

"Yes, yes, Natsume."

Sayuri also stood up excitedly, and then moved in front of Natsume, "Natsume, if you are embarrassed, how about we go with you?"

“I think it’s very interesting.”

Qingxue nodded. She felt that Sayuri’s idea seemed very good.

"I think it's okay too, it just depends on whether you really want to go, Natsume."

Reiko also looked at Natsume.

"This……"

Looking at Sayuri and the other two who were more excited than himself, Natsume didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chapter 312 Natsume Wants to Meet the Other Party

"Why do you seem more excited than me?"

Natsume looked at Sayuri and the other two and couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, Natsume, don't worry about it. Just one word, are you going to find the other person or not? At least you should thank the other person for taking care of you in the first place, right?"

Sayuri looked at Natsume and continued to encourage him.

"This……"

To be honest, Natsume couldn't help but remain silent for a moment after hearing Sayuri's words, and didn't know what to do.

"Let me think about it."

Finally, Natsume said with a slightly wry smile.

Because he really needs to think carefully about what to do.

"Yeah, yeah, Natsume, take your time to think about it."

Sayuri didn't urge Natsume.

Neither Reiko nor Kiyoyuki said much. They both knew clearly that in this matter, it was up to Natsume to make his own choice.

If Natsume himself doesn't want to, then no one can say anything.

After dinner, Qingxue had no choice but to leave, although she was helpless.

The only choice is to leave the cat to Lingzi to take care of.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of this little kitty."

Lingzi patted the kitten in her arms and gave Qingxue a relieved expression.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Reiko."

Qingxue asked Lingzi for help.

Then, Qingxue and Sayuri left together, and Natsume also left with them. Of course, he was going to work.

"Crack!"

As Natsume and the other three left, the door of the house was closed.

Then, Reiko became very excited.

"Meow~"

Reiko looked at the cat in her arms and made a meow-like sound.

Obviously, Lingzi also likes this cat, but she felt embarrassed because there were too many people around.

"!!!"

After seeing this scene, Ban and Zhuo, who were standing next to them, felt their hair stand on end instantly.

Look what they see?

They actually saw Lingzi, who was usually violent, doing such a thing to a kitten?

Long live!

Is this still Reiko?

"Wait a moment!"

Madara suddenly thought of something, and his expression became strange. "Speaking of which, I won't be killed by this Reiko guy here, right?"

It feels very likely.

Otherwise, how could Lingzi behave in such a shameful way in front of them?

"Oops!"

After realizing this possibility, Madara couldn't help but take two steps back, preparing to go through the window of the house and leave.

No, it should be escape from here.

If we continue to stay here, we will definitely end up dead!

"spot!"

Just as Madara was about to escape, Reiko's voice suddenly rang out.

Reiko was seen petting the cat while looking in the direction of Madara.

"!!!"

When Reiko called out to him, Madara's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.

By the way, Reiko isn't planning to kill it now, right?

Thinking of this, Madara was even more prepared to escape immediately.

If something goes wrong, it will run away immediately without any hesitation.

"Banara, you can transform, right? Transform into this cat for me."

Reiko came in front of Madara, pointed at the cat in her arms, and signaled Madara to change for her.

"???"

Madara, who was originally nervous, slowly typed a question mark after hearing this, and looked at Reiko in front of him with a confused face.

To be honest, it was a little too slow to respond to Lingzi's request.

How could a normal person have such a request?

"What are you still standing there for?"

Reiko couldn't help but frown as she looked at Madara who didn't move at all.
