live with conscience

Chapter 148

The life of the Fujiwara family is warm and leisurely.

There is Aunt Tako who is a gentle and kind full-time wife, Uncle Zi who leaves early and returns late every day but is very responsible, Takashi Natsume who has no temper and shyness at all, and a naughty cat who loves to eat and drink.

As long as the family is around, there is always warmth and laughter.

The arrival of Lin Lan added a lot of happiness to the Fujiwara family.

Aunt Tazi looked at the flowers in the vase and said with a smile, "It's really thoughtful to have another girl in the family. At the very least, you two careless people will never bring me such beautiful flowers!"

Uncle Zi looked at Natsume and met his eyes: "We two careless people should also thank Xiaolan. If it wasn't for her, Tazi wouldn't suddenly make new clothes for us! Even Miao Goro has one. What a beautiful tie!"

Aunt Tazi expressed her dissatisfaction: "Although there is Xiaolan's reason, it's more not because Guizhi's appearance in formal clothes stimulated me at the last class reunion? The craftsmanship that I haven't used for so many years is actually not bad. With Guizhi and Xiaolan here, I always feel that I can make more beautiful clothes..."

Uncle Zi looked at Aunt Tazi's happy and lively smile, and couldn't help joking and complaining: "So I just happened to be by the way?"

Aunt Tazi: "Zi, you really..."

Then the whole family laughed.

Lin Lan can tell that Gui Zhijun really likes this kind of atmosphere. Coincidentally, she also likes it very much.

Just, when did it start?

In this addictive atmosphere, I will always put up a film unconsciously to prevent myself from becoming addicted.

I remember that when I met Papa Xifu, she was really, really happy, and even shared the existence of the plane of reincarnation with him.

She also used her own ability to make Xifu's papa transcend the plane and become a spirit like her.

Brother Monkey is also, she is really happy, very happy, the Monkey King who has always been worshiped has become a transcendent existence.

It seems that her heart has become numb because of too much experience?

In fact, it's not numbness anymore, it's just that the body becomes a spirit, and the older I grow, the clearer I know that I am different from them.

And, even if she had the power to get them out of it all, she couldn't!

She can't break their life course at will.

Like cow eggs, some people seem to be more nostalgic for everything about ordinary people.

Becoming the darling of all living beings is not necessarily the pursuit of living beings.

As if for a moment, Lin Lan realized something, and smiled in relief.

It doesn't matter if they are different, as long as she knows that she is sitting here now, just like them, wanting to laugh happily, that's fine.

"Aunt Tazi, since Uncle Zi said that, don't make the new shirt you made for him, but make me a skirt first~" Unlike Natsume, Lin Lan has always been very open-minded towards the Fujiwara couple: "Do After finishing our skirt, I made it for Kishi-kun, and finally made it for Uncle Zi!"

Only Natsume, who was sitting next to him, noticed that Lin Lan's aura suddenly changed dramatically. After looking over in surprise, she found that her soul seemed to have grown a little taller?

Tazi thought that Natsume was surprised by Lin Lan's "cheeky" words, and was very happy that there was a rude girl at home. It would be best to make Natsume more lively and cheerful, so after thinking about it, he seemed to agree and said: " Good idea, but it’s too troublesome, I’d better change the fabric and give it to Kishi-kun first! What do you think, Kishi-kun?”

Natsume immediately wanted to politely refuse, but after seeing Aunt Toko's obviously threatening eyes, she nodded with a little confidence.

Uncle Zi said helplessly: "Tazi, Xiaolan, and Mr. Guizhi, how could you do this..."

"Hahaha……"

Natsume should be very, very concerned about this kind of atmosphere that makes lonely people addicted to care.

Lin Lan was very touched by this.

I thought that Natsume Takashi-kun would come to chat with him soon, after all he could see his weirdness very clearly.

But they didn't expect that half a month had passed, and they still had no chance to sit down and have a good chat together.

At the beginning, it was because of the various procedures of transferring to another school and getting into the new environment.

Uncle Shigeru Fujiwara's relationship in this area is very good. Lin Lan smoothly got into the same class with Takashi Natsume, plus her appearance is very good, and with the blessing of Takashi Natsume's popularity, Lin Lan quickly integrated into the small class. group.

Especially for the girls' group, class leader Jun Sasada also has multi-track skills, and the speed with Lin Lan made Nishimura and Kitamoto very envious.

With Lin Lan's buffer, these days, they always find a place to have lunch together, which is called bonding.

The group of people fighting and making noise made Natsume Takashi unable to find time to chat with Lin Lan alone.

In the evening at home, there is even less time.

The homework of the third year of high school is not just a joke.

Every time Natsume Takashi sees the top student Lin Lan who easily kills all the homework, and still has time to play ball throwing with the cat teacher, it will make him, who needs to borrow her homework as a reference, give birth to a kind of The sad contrast between the god of learning and the dregs of learning is poor.

He thought that what Aunt Tazi said, that Xiaolan had always been an excellent child was worthwhile.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Tazi was already speaking modestly.

At school, he saw her dozing off in class more than once, and she always turned around and slapped all the teachers in the face.

Natsume has always thought that the things on TV and comics where the teacher is asked by the students are all exaggerated for the sake of exaggeration.

However, Lin Lan did it in a daze. In less than half a month, she convinced all the teachers to the point that she ignored them even when she was sleeping in class.

I heard that the school already has her support team!

Really great.

Anyway, Natsume admired people like Lin Lan very much.

Lin Lan felt that this Guizhi was a good and interesting boy.

It's just that I live a little cautiously.

In order to get a good look at this human spirit, Lin Lan restrained her aura on purpose, and disguised herself as a normal person.

Watching this young man named Guizhi interact with the nearby monsters in various ways. When he is busy with schoolwork, he also helps and troubles the monsters from time to time, and inexplicably works hard for the monsters.

Regardless of these, there are still a few days left to help friends who are exorcising demons.

Lin Lan was dumbfounded by the colorful life.

With heavy schoolwork and so many things to do, it's no wonder that Aunt Tazi's crazy supplement diet still couldn't make him fat.

As for the conclusion drawn, it turns out that the world she was in before and the world Natsume was in are not the same world at all.

At least Lin Lan didn't know that there were so many monsters and gods in this world.

It can even reach the density level where one or two can be encountered anytime, anywhere.

Could it be that all the monsters gathered around Natsume Takashi?

Ling was originally born with extraordinary luck, so it would never be accurate to use luck to determine whether he was a child of luck.

And the function of the so-called book of friends also made Lin Lan a little speechless.

The monsters here are so resembling, so easy to deceive?

Even this kind of soul contract of selling one's body is signed immediately? !

Teacher Cat stretched out his fat hand, trying to scratch the meow stick in Lin Lan's hand: "Monsters are easy to deceive, but Natsume is easier to be deceived..."

It turned out that I asked the export!

It's just that Lin Lan was speechless.

Teacher Cat is right.

Just because Natsume knows that he is different from ordinary people, and he can be so relieved to let himself stay in this home he cherishes, he knows how big his heart is.

At this time, Lin Lan was teasing Mr. Fat Cat who rarely came home early at the side edge of the front yard.

Next to them, there are cakes and juices that look delicious, and the plate on the cat's side is only the wreckage.

The cat teacher is giving full play to the cat's instinct, doing jumping exercises in front of the meow stick.

"Do you know his grandmother?" Lin Lan couldn't help but start gossiping: "What about his mother?"

There are many secrets in this fat cat.

"I know Reiko, but as for... being sealed, I don't know."

Lin Lan guessed naturally: "That's his grandfather!"

Cat teacher:……

Lin Lan didn't pay attention to his silence, but continued to ask curiously: "Silence? That means we know each other. Does Natsume's grandfather ask you to do something?"

The cat teacher who was still fluttering and teasing the stick suddenly stopped. In order to stop his instinct, he became bigger. Lin Lan looked at each other without speaking, as if recalling something.

Lin Lan didn't force it, because she already felt the warm light slowly moving towards their direction: "Gui Zhijun is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Natsume Takashi returning exhausted with his schoolbag.

Looking at the dust covered on his body, it is certain that another accident happened to him today.

Not only did he fall down, but he was probably also quite frightened, so after entering the door and seeing Lin Lan and the cat teacher Ban who turned back to his original shape and looked at him——

"Ah..." exclaimed: "Mr. Kitty!"

Aunt Tazi who was cleaning the second floor was also frightened by his sudden scream and looked out the window: "Guizhi? What's the matter? Your clothes..."

"..." Natsume Takashi smiled dryly: "I fell down on the way back. Today, Mr. Cat came back so early. I... am so surprised."

Lin Lan also laughed at the side edge: "Aunt Tazi, Mr. Gui Zhi was so handsome by Mr. Cat again today~"

Aunt Tazi was still a little dazed at first, but she also laughed at this moment: "Pfft...Xiao Lan, don't bully Guizhi with Maoji~ Forget it, I still don't care about your young people's affairs. Mr. Guizhi , Zi will come back later tonight, we will wait for him to have dinner together, if you are hungry, you can have some cakes with Xiaolan sauce! I bought it at the newly opened cake shop, Maoji thinks it is delicious!"

"Yes!"

Smiling until Aunt Tako returned to the room, Natsume Takashi breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, walked up to Mr. Cat like a ghost, and buried him on his fluffy stomach: "Mr. Cat Why did he suddenly return to his original shape at home, it scared me."

Lin Lan handed a glass of fruit juice to the exhausted Guizhi: "Did something happen? I'm so embarrassed."

Natsume Takashi quickly sat down and took it with both hands: "Thank you..." After drinking it in one gulp, he found that Lin Lan was ready to hand over the cake with a smile again, and for some reason, his face turned red again.

The cat teacher suddenly restored the image of the beckoning cat, complained and laughed: "My face is red again!"

"Cat teacher!"

"Pfft..." Lin Lan laughed, "Gui Zhijun is really shy so easily."

Natsume who discovered that Lin Lan was still holding the cake quickly took it: "Thank you..."

After finishing speaking, he found that he, who had thanked him twice in a row, blushed even more under the sneering laughter of Mr. Cat.

"How stupid!" Teacher Cat regained his temper, handed the cat teasing stick to Lin Lan, and asked to continue playing.

Takashi Natsume: ...

Mr. Cat, you, who are chasing the cat teaser, seem to have no position to say such a thing.

No matter who it is, they will feel that the word stupid is more appropriate for you!

However, Natsume Takashi finally returned to normal after being interrupted by the cat teacher, holding the cake, enjoying the setting sun in the sky, and began to eat in small bites.

He is also really hungry.

For a while, in the yard, apart from the sound of the wind blowing and rubbing the leaves, and Mr. Cat's thumping and joyful screams, the only sound he could hear was his own chewing and swallowing.

The soft and sweet taste from the taste buds in the mouth, coupled with the orange setting sun under the sky, even in the sunset, inexplicably brings Natsume Takashi a very peaceful and comfortable feeling.

This is not the first time I feel this way: "I don't know why, I... seem to feel very at ease when I'm by Xiaolan's side!"

Natsume Takashi, who was comforted both physically and mentally, smiled at Lin Lan and sighed, "It's really great that Xiao Lan can move in and live together."

Lin Lan: ...This guy!

"Meow~"

The moment Lin Lan paused, Teacher Cat happily grabbed the cat teasing stick, bit it and hugged it, and rolled around contentedly.

Lin Lan was a little embarrassed. It was the first time he came back from teasing her, so she could only hide her turning around.

In fact, when this guy spoke with this kind of smile and this natural tone, the light on his body suddenly became more solid, and Lin Lan even felt the most genuine and purest kindness emanating from him.

"Want to know the reason, Kishi-kun?"

"The reason?" Natsume Takashi asked a little strangely: "Is there... any reason...?"

"Because, to a certain extent, we are the same kind. Strictly speaking, your grandfather and I are the same kind of creatures." Lin Lan didn't turn her head, but she could guess how shocked Xia Mu's expression was at this time , the cat that was rolling happily beside him also stopped moving: "Don't look at my age, in fact, I should be much, much older than you. Our life span, even monsters, may not be comparable!"

Turning around, Lin Lan saw Natsume Takashi's shocked expression, and continued, "As for your sense of security, it's just that I don't mean anything to you, and it just so happens that I'm stronger than you."

What Lin Lan didn't say was that when Ling was not an adult, he liked to hang out with Ling who was also an adult.

Just like a cub, it subconsciously seeks out companions to make its situation safer.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Lan saw him, she wanted to get together with him.

Although this instinct is very weak to her, if she doesn't want to, she can even ignore it.

It's just that she couldn't accept that in her mind, both she and Natsume had turned into two chubby, chubby puppies who gathered together to keep warm!

So humiliating.

"Same kind?" Natsume Takashi felt that Lin Lan couldn't understand what he said: "Me and you?"

In his eyes, as long as he concentrates, what appears is not the appearance of her high school girl at this time, but the figure of the child in his soul.

Obviously, the soul felt more real to him than her body.

This made Lin Lan not know how to explain: "Well, strictly speaking, yes! But, you... are still human, after all, you haven't mastered our unique ability and awakening method, how about you? We already have a cat teacher, so I don't mind having another teacher Xiaolan!"

Takashi Natsume: ...

I feel that Xiaolan is not lying, but why do I still feel that she is taking the opportunity to tease him?

Also, what is it if you are not a human being?

"Xiaolan, are you kidding me!"

Natsume Takashi couldn't accept it, but Lin Lan could understand it: "Actually, I'm quite strange, as long as you are willing, you obviously have the opportunity to learn self-protection ability, why don't you learn it?"

When encountering a monster, I want to help, but at the same time run away from time to time, which is very contradictory.

"Whether it's the monster you contracted, or the monster exterminator friend you know, they can provide you with the knowledge of self-protection." This is the conclusion Lin Lan has come to after observing him these days: "Curse seals, spells , sealing, purification...Obviously as long as you learn it, you don't have to be harassed by monsters anymore, why don't you learn it?"

This is also something that Lin Lan has never understood.

Natsume Takashi was also obviously confused by Lin Lan's sudden change of topic.

Teacher Miao Mi also held the cat teasing stick, bent her eyes and listened to the conversation between the two without moving.

"Aunt Tazi will be worried about your accidents from time to time!" Lin Lan pointed out the facts to him: "Please don't underestimate the suspicion of a lady, once Auntie and the others become suspicious, it's hard for you to explain! "

"Since you don't want them to worry, at least you should do it. Don't leave so many obvious marks on yourself!" And: "It is difficult for a person who can't even protect himself to protect what he cherishes. of."

If the guess is right, in fact, his uncle, aunt, and friends around him probably also know what is special about Natsume, but he refuses to be honest, they just cooperate with him to ignore the past as if nothing happened.

After laying the groundwork, Lin Lan stated her ultimate goal: "However, I think that even if you learn those miscellaneous subjects that are not difficult for you, they are actually of little use. Apart from me, there is probably no one around you who is suitable to teach you Are you interested in learning?"

Natsume Takashi in front of her felt like a shining rough stone to Lin Lan. She really, really wanted to polish him brighter and brighter, so she followed her own thoughts and induced: "As long as you learn to , I guarantee that such embarrassing things like today will never happen again. Even if I can see monsters and gods like you, I have never been bothered by these things since I was a child!"

Natsume Takashi's eyes widened, not knowing what to do.

"You can think about it slowly~ I will live with my aunt until the college entrance examination." Lin Lan still had to express her position: "I just have good intentions, and I don't mean to force you. I got a talisman, even the monsters who are malicious to them can't get close to them, don't worry!"

After saying this, Lin Lan didn't say anything beyond normal human topics, and waited for the sunset and the stars to come back for his uncle to eat.

Natsume Takashi was obviously influenced by Lin Lan's words, and spent the entire night dealing with the Fujiwara couple with great energy.

Lin Lan thought that Natsume Takashi, who was so gentle and kind that he often wavered, would think about it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, he appeared in front of Lin Lan who was preparing for morning exercise.

"Please teach me how to be strong, Xiaolan."

Natsume Takashi, who bowed and bowed, obviously made up his mind.

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment: "Gui Zhijun, can you tell me...can I ask why you made up your mind so quickly?"

This really isn't like you at all.

The two of them were walking on the small road in the field of Yayuan. After winter, there were many tender greens around, and there was still heavy fog around, but the air was very fresh.

Natsume Takashi explained very ashamedly: "I know, I am not a decisive person, and I often cause trouble to people around me because of my bad intentions."

Speaking of this, his tone was full of disappointment: "Although every time with everyone's help, we can turn bad luck into good luck, but it really caused everyone a lot of trouble."

After a pause, Natsume continued: "I have been envious of normal people's way of life since I was a child, and I hate the monsters who make me run around! Every day, every day, I hope that if my ability to see monsters does not exist .”

"Even here, Uncle Shi and Aunt Fujiwara gave me a warm home and many good friends, but I still waver between humans and monsters. I'm afraid that I might see monsters, and I will bring them to my uncles and aunts. I can’t let go of the warmth and friendship that monsters gave me. Although my grandmother’s account of friends is an important reason, I have thought about it carefully. In fact, I should be very lucky that I can have monsters ability."

"In the past, how much I hated this ability to distinguish from ordinary people, so now, I am so grateful that I have the ability that ordinary people do not have. Think about it, I am really a lucky person who can know and understand human beings. There are two different worlds, monsters and monsters. Thinking about it this way, I feel very happy.”

"Thank you, Xiaolan, too. If you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have seriously asked what I was thinking. I thought about it all night last night. After I figured it out, I have to admit that I can't even protect myself. I don't even have the ability, it's too frustrating!"

"So, Xiao Lan, can you please teach me how to use my power?"

Looking at this shining boy in the morning light, Lin Lan couldn't find a reason to refuse, but she still couldn't help but want to hit him: "Of course it's no problem to teach you, but you seem to have me I told you, you are the same as me, such a serious topic, completely forget it."

Takashi Natsume: ...

Since I was a child, I have been a normal human being. It is hard for me to believe what you said, okay?
