Chapter 364 Natsume's Book of Friends
Su Li was walking on the country road with Natsume carrying her schoolbag, but within 10 minutes, two monsters greeted Su Li and looked curiously at Natsume beside Su Li.
She winked at the two monsters as a greeting, and just as she turned around to introduce Natsume the beauty of the roadside, she saw the uncomfortable expression on the young man's face.She looked in the direction of Natsume's line of sight, and it was those two cute monsters!
"Guizhi?" Su Li stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xia Mu's eyes, and said intentionally, "What are you looking at?"
"No...it's nothing." Natsume waved his hands in a panic, his eyes fluttered and he dared not look directly at Su Li.The fact that he can see monsters must not be known!Moreover, it was hard to settle down, and he wanted to make this peace last longer, longer...
Su Li glanced at the two monsters thoughtfully, then looked back at Natsume.The big clean and clear eyes seem to want to see through people.
Natsume lowered his head, took a few steps forward in a panic, and then turned his head to look at Su Li calmly: "Are you still going? How far is the school?"
"The school is actually not far from home at all, and we can get there in less than half an hour!" Su Li quickly walked a few steps to keep up with Natsume, and decided to try it out at night.Now, let's turn our attention to the sad school...
call--
Seeing Su Li who didn't pursue further, Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.Because he could see monsters when he was young, he did bring a lot of trouble to the family who adopted him.The Fujiwara couple are very gentle and kind people, he wants to hide his abilities well.
but--
Why are there so many monsters in this place! ! !
After dinner, he leaned on the window sill and watched a huge monster flying in the air, and when the hair brushed his face, he was completely dazed! ! !
"Sanxiao-kun! You are here!"
Before he could recover, the sweet voice of the girl in the next room rang out and exploded in his ears!
"Well, when Xiaohua passed by my pond just now, she told me that you liked the wild fruit from yesterday very much, so I brought you some here." Saying that, Sanxiao raised her hoof, revealing the fruit wrapped in several layers of lotus leaves. A large bunch of wild fruits.For a huge monster like him, it only took up half a hoof of the package, Su Li had to use all her strength to hug...
"It's so heavy..." Su Li picked up the wild fruit, which was estimated to weigh almost ten catties, and then took a few steps back and sat on the ground: "Did you pick all the wild fruits?"
Moreover, can this big bag be described as [a little]?
Sanxiao controlled herself, knocked her chin on the window sill, and explained: "It is true that all the grown ones have been picked back. The wild fruit tree said that if you like it, he will bear a little more fruit. Moreover, this is indeed only one thing for me. Just a little..."
Su Li let herself ignore the latter sentence, and asked, "He? Is the wild fruit tree also a monster?"
"A little monster." Sanxiao's tone was casual. To him, the wild fruit tree was the lowest kind of little monster, less important than a little tadpole in his pond.However, for the sake of his delicious wild fruit, he will take care of it a little bit.
Su Li nodded, walked to the window and rubbed Sanxiao's head in her arms: "Thank you."
"Cough—it's nothing." Sanxiao coughed uncomfortably, moved her head away from the window sill, and said coolly: "It's late, as a little human girl, you should go to bed, good night."
"Enen." Su Li nodded obediently and waved her hand: "Good night."
When San Xiaofei left, Su Li suddenly turned her head, looked at Natsume who was lying on the window peeking, and caught him straight!
Although he has a lot of experience in seeing monsters, but his life experience and the time he was in his infancy are only 15 years old, and he has not learned how to keep his face. The young Natsume betrayed himself the second he was caught: "Can you see monsters too?"
Su Li smiled triumphantly——
Hey hey hey, let's just say that this boy is a bit weird, so he can see monsters too!
"Your Majesty~~~"
"I did not see anything!"
yo~~~
Do not call yourself!
There is no silver 300 taels here!
Natsume covered her face: "..." No!I can't believe I'm so stupid...
Su Li smiled and beckoned: "Come to my room, first help me carry this bag of wild fruits on the floor downstairs. Then, young man, let's come and have a chat."
Carried wild fruits weighing about ten catties downstairs and put them on the dining table, Su Li untied the straw ropes and took out a few handfuls to wash, put them in a beautiful bamboo basket and swaggered upstairs, followed by A dejected Natsume.
"Okay! [Natsume-kun Can See Youkai Discussion Conference] has officially started!" Su Li sat in Natsume's room, put the wild fruit in the center, leaned forward on the ground with her arms with bright eyes, and leaned forward in front of Natsume Full of thirst for knowledge: "You really can see monsters, right?"
Natsume, who had lost his [can see monsters] vest, had completely given up resisting. He nodded, exuding low air pressure all over his body: "I can see monsters since I was a child..."
"Coincidentally, me too." Su Li moved her knee and rubbed in front of Xia Mu, and patted him on the shoulder, with the joy of finding the same kind on her face: "But I dare not tell my parents, those monsters since childhood I always said that the things that were given to me were from small animals in the mountains. Only my best friend knows that I can see monsters."
Natsume glanced at Su Li, and said in a quiet but firm voice, "I don't want my uncle and aunt to know that I can see monsters." Although he hadn't experienced anything particularly serious, Natsume subconsciously felt that I am completely different from ordinary humans.This is not a conceited idea, but his experience from childhood to adulthood has told him this.
Ever since he knew that many of the grotesque creatures he saw were monsters, he knew he couldn't get too close to ordinary people.So until now, he doesn't have a good friend by his side, and there is no one who can make him call for help when he is in danger.
So, when he saw Su Li talking and chatting with that huge monster, he actually had only one thought——
that's nice!
How nice to meet someone who can also see and communicate with youkai!
"Your joy—" Su Li bent down abruptly, and put her head under Natsume's head, startling the boy——
"what?"
Su Li stretched out her hand and tapped the corner of Natsume's mouth unconsciously: "I saw your ecstasy, are you happy because you found the same kind? What a coincidence, I am also very happy!"
Her eyebrows are curved, and her smile is very cute and carefree.
Natsume thought of the powerful monster just now, and felt that Su Li did have the capital to be carefree.Such a powerful monster is willing to give her food, her life must be much smoother and more colorful than his!
Moreover, she has a good friend.It's really nice to have friends!
The two chatted for a while, and Su Li yawned and went back to her room. She wanted to introduce Natsume to the nearby monsters.After thinking about it, it is better to introduce it when we meet.
After another struggle, Su Li got up in a daze and went to school. On the way to school, she introduced Natsume to the monsters that occasionally appeared.But after all, it was on the side of the road, and there were very few monsters to be seen. At the end of half the semester, she only introduced a few little monsters to Natsume.
Moreover, it must not be her illusion——
Those little monsters are a little afraid of Natsume...
Of course, while those little monsters were afraid of Natsume, Natsume was also afraid of those little monsters.Every time I see those monsters, my expression becomes stiff, and I retreat subconsciously.
Su Li and Natsume go to school and go home together every day, and their relationship is getting better and better, and they can no longer talk to each other with the politeness at the beginning.
"Guizhi, I want to go to the city to buy stationery together after school tomorrow, do you want to go with us?"
Natsume shook his head: "I won't go with you, I can come back by myself." His tone was somewhat helpless: "I've been here for several months, I won't get lost."
Su Li leaned forward, pointed at Natsume, and pointed out: "But last time you went home alone, you got lost in the shrine, so I went to bring you back."
"Only that one time!"
"Then what happened last time? I went to buy a bun and ran up the mountain!"
"Hey!" Natsume raised his voice: "Is it necessary to remember these things so firmly?!"
Su Li bent her eyes and smiled, and nodded honestly: "I'm usually happy to remember other people's dark history!"
Natsume: "...I lost."
"Okay, okay! Don't worry! I've managed it! I'll only tell you about your black history!" Su Li patted Natsume on the shoulder and comforted her in a very insincere way.
Natsume was speechless: "Thank you?"
Su Li was amused by the helpless expression on Natsume's face, and then changed the subject bluntly under the boy's stare: "By the way, do you want me to bring you something back? A notebook? A pen? Comics? Photo idol magazines are also available~ ~~"
"Bring some notebooks for me." Natsume glanced back at her desk, walked over to pick up the book on the desk and handed it to Su Li: "This is the book I borrowed from the city library last time, please help return it." Give it a go! If possible, I hope to borrow some similar books back.”
Su Li looked at the title of the book: ""The Picture of Hundred Ghosts"?"
"Well, I want to know more about monsters."
"But, there are only a few of them that match the reality, right?" Su Li opened the book and glanced at it, and found that she had never seen a monster before: "Look at this, is it really useful?" ?”
Natsume scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's kind of useful after all..." After all, I've seen a lot of these strange monsters, and when I see them in reality, I won't be as flustered as before.
Su Li quickly flipped through the book and suddenly laughed.
"???"
"Have you discovered something?" Su Li waved at Natsume with the book, and asked with a wicked smile, "Actually, there is still a certain connection."
"what?"
Su Li turned the book to the curious page she had just seen, held it up in front of Natsume, and said her discovery: "Probably because humans can't see it, everyone is growing it casually!"
Natsume: "...puchi——"
"And—" Su Li picked up the book and got up and walked to the door. Before turning the doorknob, she turned around and asked one last time: "Do you really not need to buy portrait idols?"
"Need not!!!"
