Natsume was still feeling lonely because he couldn't see Akashi after returning home from school. Who knew that when he opened the sliding door, a boy with bright red hair was sitting in front of the mirror, twisting a strand of bangs in one hand and holding scissors in the other. Seems to be cutting it off.

"Akashi, what are you doing? No, you haven't returned to Tokyo yet?"

"I have already agreed with Tazisang that I will stay here for a week."

"A week? Eh? What about school?"

In fact, after knowing that Akashi came to find Natsume, the butler directly asked the school for a week off for him, which can be said to be very considerate.

Hearing this reason, Natsume couldn't help laughing. The butler's face was always serious and serious, and he was a little apprehensive at first, but after getting along with him, he realized that he was just an ordinary old man who broke his heart for Akashi.

During the time he lived in Akashi's house, the housekeeper was very concerned about his diet, sleep and mental health. If he ate a little less than usual, he would be greeted and greeted, so that Natsume forced himself to drink such bitter coffee every day to avoid being punished. I suspect it's not Akashi.

"Are you going to cut your hair? It's obviously not very long." Natsume bent down and took a closer look at the bangs that Akashi had combed down, just past the eyebrows, which would not affect the sight.

"It's just a whim."

Natsume took the scissors from his hand, "Then let me help you, it's still a bit difficult to cut by yourself, Akashi, close your eyes."

Akashi did not refuse, and closed his eyes according to his words. After his eyesight was deprived, his other senses were magnified several times. His cool fingers brushed across his forehead from time to time, and he could vaguely hear the sound of hair being cut.

The waiting time is always very long. Akashi slowly opened his eyes after Natsume said yes. He didn't adapt to the surrounding light for a while, and was stabbed by the light coming in from the window. His pupils shrank into vertical, and the physiological fog unexpectedly Added a cat-style laziness.

Natsume was shocked by his own thoughts, Akashi looks like a cat?

No, no, even a cat is a big cat, only the king of beasts can match his temperament.

Akashi noticed Natsume's strange gaze, and reached for the mirror suspiciously, wanting to see if the hair was cut badly.

"Wait a minute, it's still a little short, it's still a little long here."

Natsume leaned down again, and the slightly urgent voice made Akashi even more convinced that his bangs were definitely not in a state of being able to see people at the moment. He wanted to stop him, but he suddenly looked into a pair of focused eyes, full of caution.

The red lips curled up slightly, exuding a silent relaxation and joy.

Natsume paused suddenly, and said in surprise, "Akashi, you..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the red eyes quietly changed back to heterochromatic pupils, as if it was just an illusion just now.

"what happened?"

"No, maybe I was wrong. For a moment just now, your right eye seemed to turn red."

Akashi is very clear about what turning back to red means, and Natsume also knows that it is No. 1, and it is a "weak existence" for Akashi, as if it has touched the deepest fragility in his heart, even if it is touched lightly, the wound will heal. Will burst and bleed.

The second personality is an incarnation born for victory, once defeated, it will lose the meaning of existence.

will...disappear.

At that time, Akashi, would he still be Akashi...

Xia Mu's eyes darkened, she turned her face away and smiled casually, "Speaking of which, where are Teacher Cat and Ama Yimeng?"

"Probably have a drink with youkai in Yayuan."

"I still don't come back after this time, so don't let Mr. Cat lead Ama Yimeng down."

The two tacitly ignored what happened just now.

Glancing at the mobile phone connected to the charger, Natsume fixed Akashi's hair and proposed to go outside for a walk, "Are you in the room all day? All the company's affairs have been dealt with? I just want to help Tako-san Buy sushi seaweed, let's go for a walk together."

Unlike Tokyo, which is full of traffic, there are not many pedestrians in the shopping streets in the countryside. At this time, there are more students returning home from school, and teenagers in uniform are still staying at the canteen, buying some oden, talking and laughing happily, and carefree.

"Isn't that Natsume-kun? Huh? Who's that next to him? Oops, he's so handsome!"

Sasada Jun, who was holding a bag of sugar in his hand, saw the people who were about to cross the bridge at a glance, and quickly called the people next to him, "Tanuma-kun, hurry up! Natsume-kun is leaving!"

I can see it every day at school, and Tanuma can't understand Sasada's eagerness to see Natsume, but he does have something to say to Natsume, so he speeds up to catch up.

"Tanuma, Sasada, why are you together?" In his impression, Natsume didn't expect any intersection between these two people.

"Meet me in a supermarket by chance."

Regarding Sasada's explanation, Tanuma secretly sighed, obviously it was because he and Natsume had gotten close during this period of time that she came here to make a routine.

Natsume had no doubts about him, "By the way, this is Akashi, my friend, Akashi, this is Sasata, the monitor of my class, and Tanuma is from the next class, the son of the abbot of Yahara Temple."

Akashi heard the second half of his emphasis, which means that this Tanuma can also see youkai.

Tanuma thought for a while and understood Natsume's meaning. He specially told this man named Akashi about the temple. He probably also knew the existence of monsters. He was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. How precious it is to have a "companion" matter.

"Akashi? Ah, it's the person Nishimura and Kitamura were talking about in the morning." Sasada frowned for a moment, then suddenly revealed a daze, and looked at Akashi again, and it turned out to be the same combination of rabbit and lion as Nishimura said.

The lion has not eaten the rabbit after being together for so long, if this is not considered love...

She didn't know what she thought of, but she suddenly smiled at her aunt, making Natsume's scalp tingle, "That... Sasa, Sasata?"

"I have to rush back to deliver the sugar, so let's go first! Tanuma, didn't you also say that you have something to do at home? Sasa, go!"

It was rare to have another companion, and Tanuma wanted to say a few words to Akashi, but was forcibly pulled away by Sasada.

"Sasata is such a resolute person, and I don't know if Tanuma can handle it." Natsume watched Tanuma, who was full of resentment and helplessness, disappear at the crossroad over there, and explained in case Akashi would find it inexplicable.

With a sideways glance, Akashi took in his expression, "You were happy when you mentioned them."

"Even after so many years, I still haven't made any progress, and I'm often scared by monsters that suddenly appear, but everyone doesn't alienate me because of my strange behavior. They are my important friends, and Akashi too. You are the first one to extend to me. The person who made the shot is also a friend I want to cherish with my heart."

When the "friend" in the back said it, Natsume himself was stunned for a while, feeling a sense of loss somewhere in his heart, and he couldn't grasp it if he wanted to think about it.

Akashi stopped, and Natsume followed his gaze strangely. In front of the doll house, there was an eight/nine-year-old boy squatting on the pile of stone towers. After noticing their sight, he quickly threw the stone and ran into the house. .

Natsume didn't know why and asked, "What's the matter? They scared people away."

"..."

Akashi glanced at him and walked forward.

"...Why didn't you say anything..."

The author has something to say: I'm so stuck, it turns out that emotional drama is too difficult [Wow, I cried]
