Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

The rabbit companion smiled smugly.

Then, the two little guys became more and more proud of their behavior, constantly pulling Natsume's pants around him.

"..."

However, what the two little guys did not see was Natsume's helpless look, because Natsume had heard all of their conversation.

"Mate, why is the other party still not responding and just standing here? We have been pulling each other for ten minutes, right?"

The rabbit monster couldn't help but speak out, you know, after such a long event, it must be tired?

Although it is a monster, to be honest, it is actually no different from a rabbit in the animal kingdom.

“Huff, huff…it should be soon, right?”

After the rabbit friend let out a breath, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though it was just pulling the other person's pants, it still took a lot of effort.

"Then let's try again."

As they spoke, the two little guys started working hard again.

"..."

Originally he was planning to let these two little guys give up, but in the end, ten minutes had passed and they were still pulling at their trouser legs. Natsume couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Okay, you two little guys, stop pulling my pants. I'm just borrowing a few bamboos from here. It won't cause too much damage."

Natsume explained aloud.

Although he doesn't like monsters, he only dislikes the bad ones. Natsume naturally knows that monsters are the same as humans, some are good and some are bad.

It is naturally impossible for him to have any prejudice against the entire monster group just because of some evil monsters.

Not to mention these two little guys.

What else could be wrong with these little guys besides being cute?

"Huh?!!!" X3

The two little guys, plus Reiko who was not far away, were collectively shocked after hearing what Natsume said.

Yes, Reiko is here too.

Because it was a holiday, Lingzi naturally walked out of that depressing space early, preparing to walk around outside for a day and then go back in the evening.

For Lingzi, who has no friends and no spare money, the best way to entertain herself and pass the time is to go into the forest and cause trouble for the monsters.

So, in this situation, the fun-loving Lingzi came to the forest with her beloved baseball bat.

Just as Lezi walked into the forest, he heard Lezi.

"Did you hear that? It is said that a human came into the forest and cut down bamboos."

"Of course I've heard about it. It seems that the other party only cuts a small amount of bamboo in the bamboo forest every time, and then moves on to the next bamboo forest? I don't know why this is the case."

"Maybe they are setting up some strange formation? Or some spell? What do you think? Do you want to go and take a look?"

"This... do we really want to go and see it? Why does it feel a little dangerous?"

"Don't worry, we're just going to take a look secretly. If there's any danger, we can just run away immediately, right? How about it? Do you want to go and take a look together?"

"…Well, my friend."

Then, the two little monsters quickened their pace and walked towards the bamboo forest where their target was.

“Are humans cutting down bamboo? And they are cutting down bamboo in different bamboo forests?”

When Lingzi heard this, her eyes lit up. She instinctively felt that there must be something interesting in here.

Then, without any hesitation, he quickly followed.

However, when Lingzi followed the two little guys to the destination, she was inevitably stunned.

"Why Natsume? What is he doing here cutting bamboo?"

Reiko looked ahead and saw Natsume cutting bamboo, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

I'm a little confused and don't understand what Natsume is doing?

She didn't show up to disturb Natsume. Reiko just watched from the side, wanting to see what Natsume was doing.

Then, after hearing the words of the two little monsters, they were about to play a trick on Natsume.

"Forget it, let's just teach Natsume a lesson. I've already told you not to go into the forest casually, but he still showed up here. So, let Natsume suffer a little. It won't be dangerous anyway."

Not to mention that they are just two little monsters, for Lingzi, even if a big monster appeared here, it would only be a matter of a few hits, so what is there to worry about?

However, what happened next was completely beyond Reiko's expectations, because she never thought that she would actually hear Natsume say such words?

"Okay, little guys, stop pulling at my pants."

Natsume said with a hint of helplessness.

"Huh?" X3

The two little monsters, as well as Reiko who was watching on the side, were all stunned by Natsume's words, and for a moment, they were unable to react.

"You you you...you can see us?"

The two little guys subconsciously took a step back and looked at Natsume in front of them nervously.

"Of course I can see it."

There was a hint of helplessness in Natsume's words.

"!!!"

“Don’t eat us!!!”

The two little guys hugged each other instantly and looked at Natsume nervously, worried that the other would eat them.

"When did I ever say I was going to eat you?"

Natsume became more and more helpless. Does he look so scary?

"Clap!"

Just when Natsume was about to say something, the sound of branches being stepped on was heard from the side.

Following the voice, Natsume turned around and saw Reiko.

"Ms. Reiko?"

Natsume looked at Reiko who appeared here in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that the other party would appear here?

"So, was he seen by the other party?"

Chapter 11 I'm Not Alone Anymore

"Did Miss Reiko see my conversation with the monster?"

Such a thought flashed through Natsume's mind.

Natsume was a little at a loss. He didn't know what to do now, nor did he know what Miss Reiko's next reaction would be.

"Natsume Takashi!"

Reiko reacted and rushed to Natsume.

The two little monsters were frightened by Lingzi's rushing action and fell to the side.

"This guy is... Natsume Reiko?"

"Is that the devil?"

The little monster reacted and became completely frightened the moment he saw Lingzi. He obviously recognized Lingzi, the person with a terrible "bad reputation".

"What should we do? Will we be eaten by the other side?"

"Run quickly!!!"

The moment the two little monsters recognized Lingzi, they ran away.

Lingzi's original target was not the two little guys, so she simply chose to ignore their departure.

"Ms. Reiko."

Natsume felt a little nervous when he saw Reiko appearing in front of him.

"Hu~~"

Lingzi, who was a little excited, took a deep breath at this moment to calm herself down.

"Natsume Takashi, right?"

Reiko looked at Natsume and then asked.

"Yes, Miss Reiko."

Natsume nodded. Not only was the other party excited, but Natsume felt the same way in his heart.

"I want to ask you a question, and you answer me truthfully."

Reiko looked at Natsume in front of her very seriously.

"Please go ahead, Miss Reiko."

Natsume nodded.

He was mentally prepared for the questions the other party was about to ask.

"I want to know if you can..."

Reiko paused, looking directly into Natsume's eyes, "Are you able to see...special things?"

Reiko was afraid of being disappointed so she didn't ask the other person directly if he could see monsters.

Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Special things, Miss Reiko, are you talking about monsters?"

Natsume asked Reiko.

"That's right, they are monsters, such as the two little guys you just saw. Can you tell me what they look like?"

Reiko looked at Natsume with burning eyes, staring at him closely, fearing that he would lie.

She had encountered liars in her life before, so now she has become more cautious.

"Rabbit monster?"

Natsume gave his own answer.

"really."

Lingzi felt relieved because the other party gave an answer, which also proved that the other party could indeed see monsters.

In other words, she is no longer alone.

"You really can see monsters, Natsume."

Reiko looked at Natsume in front of her, and her eyes changed slightly.

If before this, she only regarded Natsume as a person with a similar suffering, then now, she regarded Natsume as a friend.

"Yes, I have been able to see monsters since I was a child."

Natsume nodded and admitted it. "That's why my life is not very good. Everyone treats me as an alien and a bad kid who likes to lie."

"It's natural."

Lingzi felt the same way about this. Wasn't she the same?

"Those guys don't know what the real world is like. They only judge me based on what they think. They think I'm a clown, but they don't know that they are the real clowns."

As Lingzi said this, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.

"Ms. Reiko and I really are alike."

After Natsume thought about Reiko's situation and then associated it with himself, he couldn't help but sigh that the two sides had too many similarities.

"Yes."

Even Lingzi herself could not refute this.
