Looking at Natori Shuichi's expression, Natsume reached out and rubbed Natori Shuichi's brow: "Because it's hard to stand by and watch when you see it."

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't listen. By the way, I heard there will be a meteor shower next Saturday. Do you want to go see it together?" Natori Monday thought of the message posted online and invited Natsume.

"Meteor shower? This is my first time watching one. Where should I go?"

"We'll go to a nearby mountain. We won't go too far, otherwise Aunt Tazi will worry. But I may have to stay overnight." Natori Zhouyi pointed to a mountain not far away. It must be beautiful to watch the meteor shower from the top of that mountain.

Natsume agreed: "No problem, I will bring snacks when the time comes."

When they got to school, Nishimura and Kitamoto also told Natsume about the meteor shower. Natsume was a little embarrassed: "I already have an appointment."

"Is it a girl?" Nishimura's eyes lit up.

"No, it's a boy." Natsume was helpless with Nishimura's excitement when he mentioned the topic of being single.

Nishimura suddenly lost interest: "Then come together, it will be more lively with more people."

"Then I need to ask Mr. Natori..."

"No, I refuse. We clearly made the appointment first." Natori Monday refused firmly after hearing what Natsume said. Why should a stranger join him and Natsume's relaxing time.

"Okay, I'll tell Nishimura and the others."

Natsume agreed readily, which made Natori Shuichi feel a little guilty. As an adult, how could he prevent Natsume from making friends?

Being too willful doesn't act like a reliable adult.

but……

Although he still didn't want to interact with so many people outside of work hours, it was okay if Natsume needed to make friends: "If you want, it's okay."

Natsume smiled and said, "It's okay, because we made an appointment first."

There was just an accident. A group of monsters with white clothes and monkey heads wanted to snatch the Book of Friends, but they were driven away by Madara who was passing by.

Although Natsume could handle it, it was nice not to have to do it himself: "This is the first time I've seen so many similar monsters."

The monsters all look strange and bizarre, but these monsters should be of the same kind, as they all have the same appearance and dress.

"It's indeed a bit strange. I haven't seen it here. I'll go ask Sanxiao. Be careful." Madara also felt strange.

Natsume agreed. He was not good at fighting, but he had no problem protecting himself. It was just that those monsters were a bit clingy and even followed him to school, which made Natsume a little annoyed.

After running to the forest near the school and knocking down the monsters, Natsume frowned and looked at them: "You guys, can you understand that you can't steal other people's things!"

Natsume punched the monster next to him. It was really inconvenient to have so many of them coming at once. He couldn't use magic in the classroom, as it would easily damage the doors, windows, tables and chairs. He had no choice but to run out.

But what's wrong with this forest? It feels so weird, making people feel uncomfortable, and this uncomfortable feeling seems familiar.

When Natsume turned around to leave, he bumped into Madara who fell from the sky: "I knew you would run to the most troublesome place. Let's go. I just asked Sanxiao and found out that there is something strange about this place."

"Okay, by the way, teacher, how about buying some snacks today?" Natsume said.

"Great! Snacks!" Madara cheered before telling Natsume about the strangeness of this forest.

A strange barrier was set up in the forest, but this forest has a very powerful leader and this kind of thing should not be allowed to happen. Sanxiao went to find out the details, and Madara repeatedly told Natsume not to get into trouble.

"Okay." Natsume agreed.

It was the next day when Natsume saw the ape-headed monster again, but this time there was only one. He knelt before Natsume and said, "I'm very sorry for my disrespectful behavior to you before. We are also desperate. Please consider that we have never done anything bad in this forest and let my companions go!"

"I didn't kill them, I just made them unconscious temporarily." Natsume didn't understand what he was talking about.

"But, the companions who came to look for the Book of Friends last time never came back. Please, Natsume-sama, don't hurt us..."

A strange seal in the forest, and the disappearing monsters.

Natsume looked at the monster with a sad voice and couldn't ignore it: "I'll go and see, maybe I can help you find them."

Thinking of Xiangling's evaluation of him: he is not skilled in magic, has no idea how to use the wind element, often forgets that he can use his spiritual power to perceive, is not good at facing attacks, and is also dull in sensing danger, Natsume silently pulled Madara over to act as his bodyguard.

This made Banqi like a balloon pig: "Didn't we agree not to meddle in other people's business?"

"But I can't let it go at all!" Natsume shouted with a righteous look on his face.

“…I really can’t help you.”
