Ten minutes later,
Maneki-Neko finally turned over and rushed to Xiamu's side.
He looked at Prince Ren with vigilant eyes, "Are you a human or a monster?"
"It's rude,
Teacher Cat, "Xiamu said.
He smiled and waved to Prince Ren, and then showed a curious expression, "You are not a student here, are you?
I haven't seen you before.
And your school uniform … "
"You can see it with your eyes!" Maneki-Neko hummed.
Prince Ren looked at Maneki-Neko with pity.
He stood up with his knees on his back.
He held the tennis bag behind him, "I am here to study and travel."
"Hey?!
Study and travel here …? "Xiamu opened his eyes wide,
"Ba Yuan has never had a student who studied and traveled."
"Allowed to move freely,
So I came here myself. "Prince Ren thought about it and added,
"That's the … monster just now?
I followed him here. "
"You can see monsters too?" Xiamu's eyes brightened.
His posture and tone of speech were different from the people Prince Ren was familiar with. Even in the face of strangers, he had a kind of touching friendliness.
Prince Ren imagined a lot of plots under such questions, such as the lonely life that only he could see when he was born with Yin and Yang eyes.
For example, it was difficult to make friends, and he was often scared and chased by monsters.
"Maybe …?" He answered hesitantly, "Sometimes I can see it."
"Sometimes?"
This kind of ambiguous statement …
Seeing the faint disappointment under Xiamu's smile, Prince Ren couldn't help but explain, "It's not natural to be able to see.
It was a few months ago that he suddenly started seeing strange things.
But when it comes to demons … there are very few? "
"Hey?" Suddenly I can see?
Strange things?
Is there anything weirder than monsters?
The forest is really not a suitable place to chat.
Xiamu invited Prince Ren to the town and strongly recommended the quicksand bun of the Seven Houses.
"It's very delicious!"
Xiamu said. Maneki-Neko had grabbed his trousers, "Since you are here, go and buy it!
I want to eat, I want to eat! "
"… A cat that eats buns?" Prince Ren stared at it.
"Don't look at me with strange eyes!" Maneki-Neko was furious.
Prince Ren: "I still want to pet it. A cat that can talk is cuter than a cat that can't."
Although she didn't like sweets, she had just eaten her fill not long ago.
But the Maneki-Neko's eyes were full of desire. Prince Ren couldn't help but buy a large portion of steamed buns.
He thought,
It was ridiculous to carry a bag and chat with a stranger whom she had just met.
"Tachikai University Affiliated High School …" Natsume saw the name on his school uniform, "Ah.
I forgot to ask about your grade.
It can't be my senior, right? "
She was very tall, but her face looked quite small.
He couldn't be a high school student … right?
"I'm a second-year junior high school student." Prince Ren glanced at the boy who was shorter than him.
He remembered that the name of the school he had just passed was "High School".
"I'm the one who should call you senior." He narrowed his eyes.
He said in a low voice.
Natsume smiled and waved her hand, "Ah, it sounds strange.
You can just call me Natsume … Ah, yes!
I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Natsume, and I'm currently a first-year senior high school student. "
He was used to it. Everyone who looked for him knew that his name was Natsume (in fact, they all called him "Lingzi" when they met). However, he didn't even say his name after communicating with a person who was younger than him for so long?
He smiled awkwardly.
He had never seen such a person. Prince Ren looked at him curiously again.
He hadn't recovered the psychic power he had concentrated on his eyes just now, so he could see the soft and thick layer of light on Natsume's body.
That should be the psychic power that belonged to Natsume.
He had never seen such strong psychic power, but he could feel the pure aura when he walked beside him.
It was indeed very comfortable.
There were such people in the world.
Prince Ren thought, and introduced himself directly, "I'm Masaharu Nioh, and I'm currently studying in the middle school affiliated to Tachikai University."
"Tachikai University." Natsume sighed, "It's a very famous school."
"Senior, have you heard of it?"
"You don't have to call me senior."
Natsume smiled and shook her head, "Tachikai University's baseball team won second place in Koshien for two years in a row. Last year, they almost beat Ming Qing College."
"Baseball …" Prince Ren raised his head and thought, "Is the high school's performance so good?"
"Ah, yes, Prince Ren is from the middle school." Natsume thought with some distress that it was really difficult to find a topic to talk about with people, "Do you play … tennis?"
He remembered the two balls that hit the monster just now.
He was so close that he felt like he could hear the monster's teeth breaking. It was a little painful just thinking about it.
Huh?
Speaking of which, Prince Ren didn't seem to want to pick up those two tennis balls?
When he realized it, he had already asked this question.
In front of people who knew about Reiki, Prince Ren felt that there was no point in hiding it, "Those weren't real balls, just Reiki.
They should have disappeared by now. "
"Reiki …?" Natsume asked doubtfully.
"It's the thing that you idiot use every time you return a name.
Don't you feel tired every time you use your friend's name?
That's because of excessive consumption. "
The cat who unknowingly ate the whole bag of steamed buns licked her paws and jumped on Natsume's shoulder, scratching twice while she was at it, "You should learn how to use Reiki as soon as possible, then you won't always be chased!"
"Yes, yes." Natsume answered very perfunctorily.
Reiki wasn't the main point, the main point should be …
"What did Prince Ren mean when he said that he could see strange things?
Isn't it a demon? "asked Xiamu.
He felt that there was probably nothing stranger than monsters in the world.
"I can't really see monsters." Prince Ren said, "Someone told me that it's because the time hasn't come yet.
I can only see Reiki.
For example, senior, in my eyes, it's like wearing a shiny silver dress.
There are even stranger people with knives on their heads. "
Shiny silver dress?
"It sounds very hard." Natsume couldn't help but say unconsciously.
Prince Ren was amused, "Senior, I just started to see these in the past few months.
And it's very interesting. "
"Is … is it?" Natsume blinked.
"For example, the person with a knife on his head."
Prince Ren didn't hesitate to use Sanada as an example, "He's usually very grumpy, but only when he's really angry and emotional will he pull out the knife.
Now, he only needed to look at the state of the knife on top of his head to determine his condition.
Isn't it very convenient? "
"I see." Natsume thought, "It sounds very useful?"
"Natsume, don't listen to this guy's nonsense!"
Maneki-Neko said bluntly, "People with Reiki can do this as long as they use their 'heart' to see."
"Is … is that so?" Natsume quickly looked at Prince Ren, wondering if Prince Ren would be sad.
Sigh, the cat teacher is really something.
Prince Ren: Ah, I want to steal this cat more and more.
Although they couldn't see the monsters, Prince Ren and Natsume still talked a lot.
At first, Natsume was racking her brains to find a topic, but Prince Ren couldn't stand it anymore.
When he wanted to be liked, he could still be lively and friendly, and get some information from the conversation.
However, were the monsters here really as powerful as the Daggers said?
Why did they go to the villagers' houses to eat leftovers and help to wash the dishes?!
And how could they laugh so happily when they were chased by such monsters?
Prince Ren always felt that he met people from another world.
The last bus in the town was very early.
Natsume heard that Prince Ren would go to the hotel organized by the school in the evening, so she sent him to the bus station.
They exchanged contact information.
"Can I come to you for help if I'm in danger?" Prince Ren joked.
Natsume opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then nodded with a smile, "Well, of course!"
The bus drove away.
Natsume watched the bus go away, and had a feeling of excitement of meeting a new friend.
Then she was scratched by Maneki-Neko.
"Cat teacher …" Natsume helplessly picked up Maneki-Neko, "You are very rude today."
"Hey." Maneki-Neko stared at Natsume sharply, "Do you still promise others to help you?
Don't you think you have enough trouble?
If you are not afraid of death, give me the Friend's Account as soon as possible, so that when I get the Friend's Account, there are only a few names in it! "
"Yes, yes." Natsume didn't take it seriously at all.
Maneki-Neko found a comfortable position in her arms and turned over, "But you'd better give up, that guy won't be in danger."
"… Eh?
Why? "
"He has the smell of a big monster on him."
Maneki-Neko licked its paw, "I found it as soon as I got close. It's a very powerful monster."
"That's why you lay still and let him scratch your stomach?" Natsume blinked, "Is it really comfortable?"
"Idiot!
How can I like to be scratched like a cat! "
Maneki-Neko angrily turned over, broke free from Natsume's arms, and fell to the ground, "It's that guy's smell is too strong!"
"Is it a monster stronger than you, Teacher Kitty?"
Maneki-Neko froze for a moment.
"Well, anyway, you don't have to worry about that guy."
Maneki-Neko guessed without any basis, "He is either the reincarnation of a big monster, or the lover of a big monster.
I think he is the lover of a big monster. He smells so bad. "It sneezed as it spoke.
"That guy also said he couldn't see a monster.
Well, no monster dares to appear in front of him, unless it is a very naive little monster who doesn't know the ways of the world. "
Maneki-Neko narrowed its eyes, and said with a little disdain, "I don't know which big monster's lover is. She even used her breath to limit the development of that guy's spiritual power.
She really gave him a safe environment to grow up in. "
"So Prince Ren won't be in danger?" Natsume laughed, "That's good."
Maneki-Neko choked.
It purred a few times, and said to Natsume rudely, "But that guy may become a monster in the future.
He is no longer a human. "
"… Eh?!"
"He is a human now, but I feel the power of blood in him.
The power of a monster comes from the soul, not the body. "
Maneki-Neko narrowed its eyes, "You deserve to be the lover of a big monster. You were a big monster before your reincarnation … But now you are just a weak human. You can't compare with me at all. Fufufufu."
Natsume was speechless, "So when was the setting of the big monster's lover set?
Can't they be relatives?
And cat teacher, are you admitting that you are not as strong as the big monster who left his breath?
Really. "
He sighed.
"Go home quickly, or you won't be able to catch up with dinner."
"Mi!
No!
Natsume, let's go faster! "
The breeze blew through Yayuan at dusk.
Prince Ren turned his head and looked out of the window on the bus.
The sky was dyed golden, and it was as beautiful as the feathers of the mythical phoenix.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his own shadow reflected in the window.
That cat …
Although it was cute, was it really a cat?
Why did it feel like …
There seemed to be a soft touch of fur in his palm.
