When Natsume Takashi was a boy, he had a teacher named Natsume Soseki, a relative of his grandmother Natsume Reiko. After meeting Auntie Tako and Uncle Shige, he suddenly appeared in front of him one summer afternoon.

At that time, Natsume Takashi had not yet met Neko-sensei. When he was chased by monsters, he could only run away with a melancholy expression. When facing Toko and Shi, he could not let go of the barriers, but he looked at the world with a gentle heart.

Natsume Soseki appeared in front of Natsume Takashi at that time.

On a hot summer afternoon, Natsume Takashi had just managed to escape from being chased by a monster. When he was in a state of embarrassment, Natsume Soseki appeared in front of him with a cane in his hand and said, "My child, why don't you use your own power?"

Woolen cloth?"

On that day, Natsume Takashi knew for the first time what power he had.

Natsume Soseki is very busy, and he does not often appear in front of Natsume Takashi. Natsume Takashi vaguely knows something about the "Three Moments Concept", which is what Natsume Soseki wants him to know.

After Neko-sensei appeared, Natsume Soseki came all the way from Yokohama. Natsume Soseki had a serious face. When Neko-sensei went out to drink, he found Natsume Takashi and said to him, "Don't form a relationship, it will only make you lonely."

At that time, Natsume Takashi just smiled gently, but his tone was very firm, and there was light in his eyes, "There is only a bond, and I don't want to let go."

Natsume Soseki didn't say anything after hearing this. He sighed, his eyes a little sad.

Because of Reiko's grandmother, on the way to return the name, Natsume Takashi temporarily cooperated with Shiba Shizuji and began to systematically learn spiritual power. It was precisely because of his cooperation with Shiba Shizuji that he had that time of divination.

"Natsume," Mr. Shiba rarely had a superficial smile on his face, but looked at him with a serious expression, "the 'fate' between you and the monster will gradually dissipate in the future."

Mr. Chang is indeed the strongest demon slayer, and he is right.

Natsume Takashi's eyes gradually lost sight of monsters.

It was blurry at first. Natsume Takashi thought his eyes were becoming nearsighted, so he went to the hospital to check his vision. It turned out that there was no problem with his vision at all. Then the figures of the monsters seemed to become transparent, and sometimes Natsume would

Passing through their bodies, there was no real feeling. In the end, Natsume couldn't see the monster anymore.

Fortunately, thanks to Teacher Neko's lucky cat shell, Natsume can still see and barely hear Teacher Neko's voice. With Teacher Neko's message, he can still talk to the intermediate level. But the good times don't last long. During a battle to protect Yokohama

In the movie, the cat teacher was in a hurry and forced to break away from the "shell" in order to protect Natsume. Not only was he injured, but the "shell" was also damaged.

Now, Natsume can no longer see Mr. Neko.

No matter how Mr. Cat calls him, no matter how he searches, he can't see Mr. Cat. Even Duoluo's classmate's formation doesn't work on him, he still can't see. It's clear that his spiritual power has not diminished at all, and his body has not diminished at all.

There was no difference, but I just couldn't see it. At this time, Natsume Soseki appeared again. He said, this is the price.

as the price of change.

Natsume didn't understand what it meant, but no matter how many times she asked Natsume-sensei, she refused to tell him.

"This is a rule," Natsume Soseki said. "That's why I asked you not to get married in the first place. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have involved you in the first place."

Teacher Natsume, whom Natsume Takashi respected from the bottom of his heart as an elder, apologized to him. Unable to understand and vent, Natsume Takashi decided to find the only god he could still see.

The human body that walked the world under the Aragami Temple and once fought alongside him. After hearing what Natsume Takashi said, Nakahara Chuuya, one of the top five cadres of the Port Mafia, did not tell him what to do. Instead, he told the person next to him

Qiu Qiu nodded with a complicated expression.

At that moment, Natsume Takashi suddenly felt a sense of despair, as if black water had been poured into his mouth and nose, his breathing was suppressed, his heart was clenched tightly by invisible hands, and the only sound in his ears was his own increasingly rapid heartbeat.

"…Cat teacher?"

He wanted to open his mouth to say it. He clearly wanted to make a sound, but what came out of his throat was an inhuman roar. Natsume began to cough, and he coughed so hard that he almost cried out tears.

He knew that Teacher Cat was by his side, but oh but,

Unable to touch or talk, he seemed to be rejected by some kind of existence. Natsume could not catch the figure of the cat teacher in Aragami's clear blue eyes. Nakahara Chuya said to Natsume, "He has always been by your side.

Never left."

So, Natsume thought, how did Mr. Neko feel when he saw him doing all this useless work? And how did he feel when he always followed him and never left?

Natsume suddenly became frightened and almost trembled.

After that, Natsume was transferred out of Yokohama under the arrangement of Natsume Soseki and returned to Yahara to work as a teacher. He still couldn't see any monsters, he had spiritual power but couldn't do anything, and Shiba Shizuji never asked him to do it again.

Regarding things related to monsters, Natori Monday also disappeared from his life. He seemed to be far away from the world of monsters all of a sudden. This was obviously his wish since he was a child, but he couldn't be happy about it.

Unable to see the little monster that said good morning to him on the way to work, unable to hear the cat teacher talking to him, unable to participate in the gathering of monsters, unable to touch the body of monsters, Natsume gradually began to get used to the silence in his ears.

Natsume went on with his life invisible.

One evening at dusk, Aunt Tazi and Uncle Shi came to see him. When Natsume came home from work, Aunt Tazi had already prepared the food, and the house was filled with the aroma of food. Natsume washed the door handle, put away his things and went to Tazi.

Auntie is by my side, helping to set the table.

Aunt Tazi looked at Natsume with a smile. She was getting a little older and her memory was beginning to be bad. Her white hair was hidden under her black hair. She also had a lot of wrinkles on her face, but her voice was still so gentle and her eyes were still so tolerant.

, she asked Natsume: "Where did Nyaotarou go? Did he go out to play? The food is ready, why don't you come back for dinner?"

Yes, Natsume stood there blankly, where did Mr. Neko go? The food is ready, why don’t you come back to eat?

Until this moment, Natsume finally realized clearly that Mr. Neko would never appear in front of him again.

The self-deception that had lasted for several years, the deliberate neglect that had lasted for several years, and the delusion that had lasted for several years were now laid bare in front of him.

"…Cat teacher?"

This time, Natsume screamed out completely and clearly.

There was still no response, there was silence in his ears, and there was no familiar white figure around. Aunt Tazi in front of him was still smiling and waiting for his answer. Natsume smiled and said warmly, "Mr. Cat is going out to play later.

When he comes back, I will leave him a midnight snack."

When Natsume said this, a gust of wind blew from outside the window into the room. The curtains were blown into the air, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers. The prototype of the big monster lowered his head and looked at the ignorant figure trapped in his arms.

sleeping humans,

“…”

"I am here."

Natsume, I'm here.

I miss Tako's food very much, I miss Idiot's hair rubbing skills, and I miss Nanatsujiya's snacks very much.

I miss your innocent smile.
