Natsume is on his way to school.

However, now it is different from before. In the past, he was alone. When his classmates saw him, they would only laugh at him, and then ran away quickly, isolating Natsume from their circle.

Now, because of Yayoi's efforts, Natsume also has some friends. He can also play and go to school with his friends.

"Swish", a woman's body suddenly hangs from the branch above her head.

"Oh ~"

"Ah!" Natsume was frightened. He looked carefully and found that she hooked the branches with her legs and naturally hung her upper half, which was different from a monster.

Natsume asked, "Big sister, what are you doing?"

"You...you can see me!" The woman covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, very surprised.

"Natsume...Natsume started talking to the air again!"

"Is this the cartoonist? It's so strange."

Natsume's expression became stiff. He stared at the monster in a daze, and the monster looked at him curiously.

After about three seconds, Natsume screamed, "Ah~", and he quickly ran away.

The friends reacted and chased Natsume.

Natsume looked back and found that the monster was still hanging on the branch, not chasing him, and his nervous mood relaxed.

...

After school, Natsume returned home in a dodge, and nothing was wrong. He finally felt at ease.

At night, Natsume gradually fell asleep.

"Human...human, wake up, let's play together."

A vague sound came, and Natsume woke up.

"You are!" Natsume wanted to scream, but immediately realized that it was late at night, and if it was too noisy, it would wake up Yayoi and Kaori.

The monster leaned his face close to Natsume and said enthusiastically: "After so many years, only you can see me. Let's play together."

Seeing the monster approaching, Natsume became more and more scared. Over the years, the monsters only brought him bad influence. He only had fear of the monsters.

Natsume pushed the monster down with force. Although she was wearing only her pajamas, she still quickly escaped from the house and came outside the house barefoot.

Without thinking too much, he only ran...Run quickly...Run that monsters couldn't catch up with.

When he realized it, he didn't know where he had run. He held the telephone pole and gasped.

"You... are you Takashi Natsume?" An aunt in her 30s, although there were wrinkles on her face, it can still be seen that she was a beautiful person.

"Are you?" Natsume didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

"It's true, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tako Fujiwara." She held her face with her hands and showed a shy expression: "I am your distant relative. I heard that there is a child like you, so I asked for the address and wanted to take a look. It's indeed a cute child."

Natsume was surprised. He wanted to cry when he listened to the lady's gentle words.

[Except for my brother, there are few people who treat me as gentle as me.]

"But, are you?" She looked at Natsume wearing pajamas, barefoot, alone far from home.

Natsume said awkwardly: "I'm exercising and suddenly I want to exercise."

Tazi didn't ask too much, she said gently: "It's too late now, you can go home quickly."

"What about you?"

"I'm staying at a friend's house. After a while, I'll visit my lover."

"Then I'll leave first."

Natsume turned around and left, and when she looked back, the aunt was still watching him leave under the light.

After Natsume returned home, the monster had left and there was no change around him. If he had not met the gentle Aunt Tako, Natsume would have thought it was just a dream.

...

A few days later, Natsume returned home and found that there were guests at home.

It was the aunt Tazi and an uncle with a beard. Judging from his words, behaviors, and expressions, he was also a very gentle person.

After the fight and taking care of him, Natsume sat aside and watched the conversation between them.

"We hope to adopt Natsume." Mr. Shizu's words made Yayoi and Natsume blinded.

"Tazi and I have not had a child for so many years. When I heard Natsume, I actually moved." He looked at Tazi, Tazi nodded to him, and then continued, "With Tazi's support, I finally came here. I hope you can get your consent."

"I don't agree!" Yayoi thought nothing and said directly: "Natsume is my younger brother, and I like him very much. There is no reason to let him leave me."

Zi smiled bitterly: "That's disturbing."

He stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, Tako grabbed his sleeve and said to Natsume: "Natsume, are you willing to live with us? Although it is a countryside and the house is quite old, it is my warm home."

What she thought of was that she saw Natsume that night, barefoot and only wearing pajamas, why did he leave this home so quickly? Thinking of this, she decided to listen to Natsume's decision.

"Natsume, Natsume will certainly refuse." Yayoi said confidently.

"Natsume, talk quickly."

"I...I..." Natsume was hesitant and never said the answer Yayoi wanted.

"Natsume, tell me quickly!"

Yayoi, the Fujiwara couple looked at Natsume nervously.

Natsume closed his eyes tightly, and used all his strength to finally say the heartbreaking words of Imayayoshi: "I, I am willing to go to the Fujiwara family!"

After saying that, he seemed to have no strength and fell into silence.

"What!" Yayoi opened his mouth and wanted to question, but couldn't speak.

He was in a daze.

Afterwards, the Fujiwara and his wife left with Natsume.

Looking at the seemingly empty room, Yayoi smiled as if crying: "Ah, I just left like that. Have I helped him pack his luggage? Ah, why am I crying?"

Tears flowed from the corners of Yayoi's eyes. He wiped them with his hands, but he couldn't stop them.

"Natsume... Why did Natsume leave me..."

...

Natsume and Fujiwara couple walked out of the house and looked back sadly. It would be hard to have another chance to take a look at this place in the future.

"Hello, Natsume."

Yakumo's words came to his ears, Natsume turned his head and responded: "Sister Yakumo, you are back."

Because he had no maternal love, Natsume liked this Yamato sister who was like Yamato. But at this time, he only had the sadness of parting in his heart.

[It's good this time, what should I do if I bring back the monster next time and hurt my brother Yayoi!]

He said goodbye strongly: "Goodbye, Sister Yakumo."

After the Fujiwara couple nodded to Yaguko and left with Natsume.

"Wait..." Yakumo stretched out his hand, but Natsume left without looking back...
