I'll pretend to be stupid when I'm done with the knife

"Why are you crying, kid? Haven't I already knocked down this monster?" Ajing said to Natsume while touching his head.

Natsume touched his face, and the wet/moist feeling from his hands reminded Natsume that he had already cried when he didn't realize it, so he quickly wiped away his tears.

"Well... May I ask where you live, can I... can I find you?" When he was about to leave at the end, Natsume tugged on Ajing's sleeve and asked Ajing cautiously. No matter what, Natsume wanted to do it again. Seeing this person again and again, seeing this person who is the same as myself...

"You little brat, of course it's fine. Just come to the hotel and find me." Ajing flicked Natsume's forehead and told him his address.Before leaving, he didn't forget to pass Natsume a few spells by the way, telling him that they were life-saving spells.

Sankaiyue, who is familiar with the power of this spell: Haha, I didn't expect Ajing to be a cruel person.

"Let's go, Mikazuki. We should go to business." Ai didn't explain why he gave such a powerful spell to the boy. Perhaps at the beginning, Ai just hoped that Natsume could protect himself.

Natsume carefully kept the charm given by Ajing, and secretly made up his mind to use it if he could.Facing the gift from a stranger who is the same as himself for the first time, Natsume naturally cherishes it very much.

Natsume slowly walked towards the place where he was temporarily staying, and when he was about to go back, he came to the river to start the necessary class of washing every day.

What Natsume by the river did not notice was that a kind old woman slowly appeared out of the air.

"Where are your adults? How can you let children wash clothes by the river?" The old woman looked at Natsume by the river and waved for Natsume to come over.

The old woman unwrapped the towel she had just bought, and wiped the wet places on Natsume's body carefully. Seeing that Natsume's body was frozen red, she said to him with some distress: "You child, how can you be by the river?" Where's the laundry? Where's your grown-up?"

Katori looked at Natsume's appearance, and couldn't help saying it again.Even though he is a child, how could he show such a heart-wrenching expression? He really... really wants to be eaten by someone!

Natsume feels that today is the luckiest day for her. Have you finally heard my wish, my lord?In the days when she was chased by monsters countless times, Natsume expressed her wish to the gods in temples again and again, hoping that the gods would take pity on her.

"That... thank you. I have nothing to do with it." Natsume blushed and looked at the grandma in front of her in embarrassment.Some didn't know how to put his hands, so Natsume simply put his hands straight on both sides of his legs. If he was careful, he could find that his hands were tightly held by Natsume, obviously extremely shy.

"You, it's okay to be naughty at a young age. When my grandson was as old as you, his clothes were always dirty when he came back every day." Speaking of his grandson, Katori Eyes are always glowing.

After all, the taste of the last meal was really good, looking at the kid in front of me, feeling his spiritual power, Katori smiled where Natsume couldn't see.This little ghost should be very good as a dinner.

Thinking of this, Katori's attitude towards Natsume became more and more gentle. Natsume was her next meal, so of course she had to take good care of it.

Oops, that's too bad.Accidentally exposed his tail.On the shadow belonging to Katori, two tails gradually appeared, which were taken back by Katori after only a few seconds of appearance.

Natsume has always been very grateful for the kindness of others, even if the person in front of him is a monster, Natsume just pursed his lips and did not speak.Katori's strangeness can't be hidden from Natsume who has been watching her.

"How about I take you back?" Katori asked Natsume in a low voice after wiping, asking for his opinion.

"That... I will go back by myself, so I won't bother you." Natsume bowed to the old woman in front of her to express her gratitude.The person in front of me is a monster, and she cannot be allowed to enter the place where I live temporarily.It was only at this last time that Natsume remembered that she could not enter the human world.

Katori didn't force it either, and besides telling Natsume to come here to find me if she had something to do in the future, she quietly watched Natsume leave her sight.

"The spiritual power of this human being really makes me unable to bear it." Licking his own mouth, Katori slowly disappeared into the original place.

……

Natsume looked at the towel in his hand, and then at his fairly clean clothes.

Uncles and aunts shouldn't be scolding me today.Thinking of this, Natsume kept trotting back. If he didn't go back before evening, he might not be able to make dinner.

When Natsume just arrived at the door, he heard various quarrels coming from inside.

"I can't stand it anymore. Why do we temporarily adopt this monster? Do you know what they say about me?" Mrs. Yamano said to her husband in a broken voice.Most of them in her mouth are little sisters who usually get along with her better.

She thought of the way people around her looked at her recently, all because of this monster, all because of him.If it weren't for him being able to suffer from other people's strange eyes.

"I know, this monster will move away in the next few days, so you just have to endure it for a few days." Mr. Yamano hugged his wife gently, comforting her softly.For the sake of the reputation of his family, he had to wait for this monster to take the initiative to go to someone else's house.

Natsume quietly listened to what the couple said inside, and after they finished speaking, Natsume knocked on the door.Remind them that they are back.

"Auntie, Uncle, I'm back." Natsume returned to his usual smile and said to them.Without waiting for them to speak, Natsume revealed his plan

"Um... Uncle, I met someone who suddenly wanted to adopt me today. I guess I can go out tomorrow." Natsume tried to ignore the anxiety in his heart as much as possible, and said to them in his most stable voice.

On the contrary, they were naturally very happy about what Natsume said.But he didn't think that Natsume was a child and he was the son of a famous monster, who would be willing to adopt him.Maybe he thought of it, but in order to quickly get rid of Natsume, he naturally selectively ignored the unreasonable things.

"This... is really too sudden, why don't you tell us in advance so that we can prepare well." Mr. Yamano said to Natsume hypocritically, and at the same time reminded his wife with his elbow, let her Pay attention to the expression on your face, don't let the kid in front of you see it.

"Ahem, that's just to say. By the way, Natsume, since you're moving out tomorrow, you're going to have a good meal tonight." Mrs. Yamano noticed her husband's reminder, and quickly put away the smile on her face Get up, and face him with a slightly 'kind' expression.

Natsume looked at Mrs. Yamano's uncontrollable smile, but said nothing.

Of course, like this Mrs. Yamano, the dinner is very rich.There is also an extra chicken leg in the rare Natsume bowl. In the past, Natsume only had a little bit of vegetarian dishes.

Early the next morning, Natsume set off with the luggage they specially prepared last night.The luggage is just a few simple clothes.

It wasn't until Natsume actually walked onto the street that he wiped away the tears on his face and walked forward.Although she had expected what her uncle and aunt would do, Natsume's mood could be imagined when they actually met her.For some reason, Natsume remembered the words of that youkai that day.

'If you have anything to do, you can find me here. '

Natsume took some of her clothes and walked towards the river, she should help me... Natsume remembered the monster's attitude towards her, so that enthusiastic attitude shouldn't do anything to her.Natsume wondered worriedly, would monsters adopt human children?

In his mind, Natsume thought a lot about what to say to this monster when he first met, and silently typed several drafts.I want to make a good impression on Katori.

It wasn't until Natsume reached the river that Natsume realized that everything he thought was useless.

"Will you come to live in my house?" Xiang Xiang stretched out her hand to Natsume, inviting him to live in her home.

Natsume stared blankly at the hand in front of her. After a long time, Natsume slowly passed it up and nodded heavily: "Yes, I am willing."

Holding Katori's hand tightly, Natsume discarded all the drafts in his mind, leaving only this sentence.

"Grandma, how did you know I would go to the river?" Holding hands, Natsume asked Katori beside her.

"Because... I've been waiting here for you..." Waiting for you, my delicious dinner.Xiang teased and said to Natsume with a smile, and slowly led Natsume to the place where she lived.

……

"Sir, do you want to buy a peace talisman?" Standing on the street, A Jing stopped the Nth person and asked him if he wanted a peace talisman.

"What, are you sick?" The man just glanced at Ah Jing, then walked away.When he left, he didn't forget to scold Ah Jing a few words.

Although I knew the result a long time ago, I really heard others say so.It still gave Ah Jing a big blow.

"Huh~" Sanriyue blew on the tea in her own hand, watching Ah Jing busy there alone.

"As expected of a young man, he is more energetic than an old man like me. Very good, very good." Looking at a young man like Ajing, Sanriyue... then drank tea and watched.After all, young people should have to break through, shouldn't they?

"San Riyue, what are you doing here? Do you know that if you can't sell out the pile of peace charms today, you won't be able to drink tea." Ajing gritted his teeth and said to San Riyue, emphatically emphasizing that he couldn't drink tea. matter.

Originally, I thought about finding a partner, but I didn't expect that this was inviting an ancestor back.If the hotel hadn't given Sanriyue a lower rent for Sanriyue's sake, Ajing and the others would have already lived on the street.

Tea is always a big threat to Sanriyue: "You can't always let young people come to activities, it's time to move." Ginger is still old and spicy.

This time it's Ajing's turn to drink tea and watch Sanriyue sell peace charms.Before Ah Jing had a second sip of tea, the charms in San Riyue's hands were already sold out.

Holding the cup of undrinked tea, Ah Jing looked at Sanriyue in surprise, and asked him with his eyes.Seemingly seeing Ah Jing's surprise, Sanriyue said to A Jing with a haha, "This is probably to take care of me, an old man. Those girls have bought all the safety symbols."

While speaking, Sanriyue pointed to the young people who had just bought all the safety charms.Seeing Sanriyue looking at them, those girls blushed a little, and then ran away.

Well... sometimes being too beautiful can be a huge plus.Ajing was surprised for a few seconds, then calmly accepted Sankayue's reason.Ignoring the unwillingness in his heart, he prepared to greet Sanriyue and go back.

Noticing Ajing was about to leave from a distance, Natsume trotted over quickly.

"Well... May I ask if there is a peace talisman that monsters can use?"

Natsume wants to buy a peace talisman for grandma, and wants to protect grandma.I hope grandma will never be harmed by the exorcist.
