[Natsume] How to break through as a friend

It’s really lonely to be alone. Although I’m just a child, at least someone chatted with me: “My name is Akiyama Yukina, and I came here to avoid the rain. What about you?” Although the other party can see ghosts, I’m afraid no one likes ghosts, so Xue Nai unconsciously made up the reason why she appeared here.I took the trouble to introduce myself probably because I was afraid that one day I would not even remember my name.

"Natsume Takashi, I'm because..." Looking at Natsume's embarrassed and frightened face, she didn't seem to want to mention the reason why she came here. The principle of being convenient for oneself does not want to expose the other party and embarrass others: "Oh, I know, it's the rebellious period. I also felt that I didn't want to go home for a while."

well!Although Natsume didn't have that reason at all this time, he felt that it would be bad to tell the truth, and he might be accused of lying again. Obviously there are many monsters but they can't see him, so he didn't lie.Despite the grievance, I still don't want to cause trouble for others.

Looking at the silent Natsume, Xue Nai was a little confused, so, did she say something wrong again in a nervous way?So, he began to talk about what is commonly known as chatter to change the subject and ease the awkward atmosphere: "When the burnout period comes, I don't want to do anything. Occasionally, I really want to try to do things that are prohibited. There is no special reason, but the more I don't let The more curious you are, the more curious you are. There are always strange thoughts that want to step on the bottom line of the rules, and I am really strange, right?"

"No, I don't know who said it. Although there are still some differences and confusions in ideas and practices from time to time, it is precisely because of these differences that they can make up for each other. If you want to say something strange, in fact..." The child in front of him Seriously speaking, as if she always felt comforted by a child, Xue Nai smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yukina hugged her knees and sat on Natsume's left, with a smile on her face: "I always feel comforted by Natsume-kun, hey, Natsume, you can come here to play when you have nothing to do in the future, the secret base, it's a promise, it's very Great."

At this point, Natsume knew that the other party had heard her earlier self-talk but didn't make it clear, she blushed unconsciously, and said, "Okay." Stretching out her little finger to gently evoke the other party, she smiled as if in the afternoon As warm as the sun: "Well, it's an agreement."

If the other party still doesn't care about the monsters when she talks to herself, does it mean that she really wants to be friends with her?I am afraid that others will know, although I am used to being feared and accused of lying, but one day, one day, I will tell those who want to truly understand my heart.

It's great, I finally have my first friend.Since then, Natsume has come to the shrine to look for Xue Nai whenever she has time, but she has not found that Xue Nai is just a ghost.

But one day, after school, Natsume came to the shrine as agreed but did not see Yukina. He opened the paper door and sat inside to wait for her. However, he did not see Yukina for a long time. real home address.Unknowingly, Natsume fell asleep holding the note with the address on it until he was awakened by the sound of rain and thunder and realized that he had overslept. I cried because I didn't meet my promised friend.

The clogs from far to near ran over with the sound of wind, rain, thunder and the sound of water stepping in puddles. Xue Nai was going to go around the neighborhood but got lost in the forest and had to delay her return for a long time. The agreement made me worry for a while, that idiot wouldn't be waiting there, would he?It's raining so much that we should go back.

"Natsume!" Running to the front with a disordered breath, she realized that Natsume was just asleep. Xue Nai breathed a sigh of relief. There have been many monsters haunting the forest recently, but luckily Natsume is fine.

Sorry, I failed to keep the promise.However, it's raining so much, Natsume, are you a fool, why don't you go back.Xue Nai wiped the water droplets on her face indiscriminately, she didn't know if it was rain or tears, but she always felt a little hot.

Thank you for still being willing to be friends with a terrible person like me. For a long time, every time I do something, I fail because I am not cheerful and quiet enough, not very popular, and have few friends.Every time I feel that I can become good friends with others, the result is always being teased and teased.Despite this, I still feel that I will cherish everyone I meet.

Natsume, it's already dark, let me take you home.Although maybe I don't want to reincarnate in the near future, either I will become an earthbound spirit or I will be eaten by monsters.Just when Xue Nai was about to go back with Natsume on her back, a group of adults came looking for them with flashlights.

Worried, Xue Nai followed the group of adults who carried Natsume back home, but was stunned by what happened next.
