Since she couldn't see the monster, even if the other party appeared in front of her or even attacked her, she would not be able to detect it at all.

This is simply a disaster.

"It's so careless."

Sayuri realized that she was really careless and shouldn't have taken such a risk.

"Sayuri, back off."

Natsume didn't know what Sayuri was thinking, and the moment he saw the monster appear, he asked Sayuri to step back.

"Okay, Natsume, you should be careful too."

Sayuri followed Natsume's instructions without any hesitation and backed away until she reached the stairs, where she stopped.

In this way, if there is any danger, she can leave here as quickly as possible.

Of course, she didn't want to leave Natsume here and run away alone, but she didn't want to be a burden to him.

"I'm sorry, Natsume."

Thinking of this, Sayuri began to apologize to Natsume.

"Hey? Why are you sorry?"

Natsume, who was still on guard against monsters, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard Sayuri's apology behind him. He didn't understand why Sayuri suddenly apologized.

"Because I lied to you. In fact, I can't see monsters at all."

Sayuri apologized softly.

"This……"

Natsume stood there in a daze. He really had not expected this.

But now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing, because the monster has already appeared in front of Natsume at this moment.

"Human, do you think I won't kill you?"

The monster's exposed blood-red eyes stared at Natsume, bringing great pressure to Natsume.

However, although the aura emanating from the other party was very strong, there was no murderous intent in it. It was obvious that what the other party said about wanting to kill was still a bit exaggerated.

I guess most of them just wanted to scare Natsume.

But Natsume doesn't know.

"Sawamura-kun, you go first."

Without any hesitation, after hearing this, Natsume let Sayuri go first.

Sayuri, who couldn't see monsters, couldn't help him in this situation.

"What about you, Natsume? Shall we go together?"

Sayuri looked at Natsume anxiously. How could she possibly do that if she was just asked to leave alone?

"I'll stop him for a while, Sawamura-kun, you have to believe in my strength."

Natsume said to Sayuri very seriously.

"Natsume-san..."

After hearing this, Sayuri's eyes became firm, "I'll wait for you at the entrance. If you don't come in ten minutes, I'll ask Reiko to rescue you."

"Ok."

Natsume nodded without looking back.

He didn't even dare to look back, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack him at this moment, but Natsume's heart also felt a little warm because of Reiko's words.

At least, Natsume felt that he had not made a mistake in choosing Sayuri as his friend.

Then, Sayuri left and ran downstairs. The monster that Natsume had been wary of did not stop her at this time, but let her leave.

"I didn't make any move, that's great."

Natsume, who had been on guard against monsters, couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he saw that Sayuri had left and the other party had not taken any action.

At the same time, Natsume was also wondering, does this mean that the other party is a monster with whom he can have a good discussion?

"Maybe, we can talk to the other party."

Chapter 49: A knife in one hand and peace talks in the other? (2/4)

"Can we talk about this?"

Natsume looked at the monster in front of him with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

"If you weren't holding a wooden sword with a spell on it when you said this, it would probably be more convincing."

The monster sneered.

As for humans, he would not choose to believe in them at all now.

"..."

After hearing this, Natsume immediately showed a hint of apology. Indeed, if he were in his shoes, he would never let down his guard when facing a person with a weapon.

"I'm very sorry."

Natsume apologized to the other party, then threw the wooden sword in his hand out through the broken window yesterday.

"!!!"

The monster who saw Natsume's actions narrowed his eyes slightly. To be honest, this was something he had not expected.

He just said it casually and never thought that the other party would actually drop the weapon in his hand.

"Is this human an idiot?"

Such a thought flashed through the monster's mind.

He really didn't think that anyone else would behave like this except an idiot.

"Now, we should be able to have a good chat, right? I can assure you that I really have no ill intentions."

Natsume looked at the other person and said very seriously.

The monster looked at Natsume with a slightly complicated expression. To be honest, the other party was really the strangest human being he had ever seen in all these years.

"Human, what do you want to say?"

The monster looked at Natsume and then asked.

"I want to know why you became a ghost? Why do you stay in this school?"

Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate with him, Natsume felt a hint of joy in his heart, and then he asked his question.

"It's not that I've always been here. It's you who established the school here after me. So, you are the outsiders."

The monster said in a calm tone.

"Is that right?"

After hearing this, Natsume was able to basically confirm this time point, and then he looked at the other party cautiously, "Um...are you a member of that big merchant family? And then you were burned to death here and became a vengeful spirit?"

"!!!"

After hearing the three words "big businessman", the monster's pupils suddenly shrank, and then... the aura on his body became chaotic.

"It's been so many years...it's been so long since I heard that name."

The monster lowered his head and muttered to himself.

For some reason, after seeing this scene, Natsume instinctively had a bad premonition? As if something bad was about to happen?

"You damned human beings, you are all sinful!!!"

The next second, the monster, which had been quite calm, suddenly exploded, and its captivating aura swept across the entire space.

"What's happening here?"

Looking at the monster that went crazy in an instant because of his words, Natsume was also in a confused state. He couldn't understand at all what was going on.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Such a thought flashed through Natsume's mind.

"not good!"

At this moment, after seeing the monster's actions, Natsume's face changed and he hurriedly fled downstairs.

After going crazy, the monster rushed directly towards Natsume, waving its right hand and grabbing him fiercely.

The red light flashed across the space in an instant.

It was because Natsume ran fast, otherwise, if he was hit by the opponent's attack, he would probably have to go to the hospital.

"Don't even think about escaping, damn human!!!"

This time, the monster did not stop after one strike, but instead chased in the direction of Natsume.

………………Dividing line………………

At the entrance of the school building, Sayuri, holding a wooden sword in her hand, fled all the way back here from the top floor of the school building. Then, she stopped and did not leave. Instead, she waited for Natsume here.

"Natsume-san, please don't get into any trouble and make sure you come back safely."

Sayuri, standing at the door, prayed for Natsume in her heart.

However, at this moment...

"Clap!"

Under Sayuri's gaze, a wooden sword fell from the upstairs outside the window.

"Is that... Natsume's wooden sword?"

After seeing this familiar wooden sword, Sayuri instantly became nervous.

"Natsume's wooden sword fell down. Doesn't that mean Natsume is... in danger?!"

Sayuri, who realized what was happening here, became nervous and got into a dilemma.

She wanted to rush forward. Even if she couldn't help Natsume, she could at least give her some help. But... she was also worried about her own safety.

After all, she is just a high school girl, and she will still feel fear when facing the unknown existence of monsters.

"Really? What on earth am I doing? I looked so hopeful before, but in the critical moment, I am just an ordinary person."

Sayuri smiled bitterly.

But then, Sayuri's eyes became determined.

"I forced Natsume to bring me here. Just now, Natsume asked me to leave first for my safety. But now... if I knew that Natsume was in danger, but did not help him and instead abandoned him, then I would be too bad."

Thinking of this, Sayuri smiled slightly, "I want to be a perfect woman. A bad woman is too incompatible with me."

After making the decision, Sayuri rushed back into the school building.

She knew her own abilities, so she didn't plan to deal with any monsters by herself. All she had to do was to deliver this wooden sword to Natsume's hands, and then it would become Natsume's weapon against the enemy.

………………Dividing line………………

At this time, Natsume was still trying to escape, but the monster behind him was also rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

"It's not okay to go on like this, is it?"

Feeling the breath getting closer and closer behind him, Natsume frowned.

If he continues like this, he will be caught up by the other party sooner or later.

"We have to stop the other party for a while."

Just as this thought flashed through Natsume's mind, he saw Sayuri appear in front of him and run towards him.

"Sawamura-san?!!!"
