When Takashi Natsume finally greeted every monster, Natsume and the cat teacher had already found a comfortable place to sit. Takashi Natsume walked towards them while straightening his wrinkled clothes, and heaved a sigh of relief as he walked.
Natsume couldn't help but laugh, "Are you tired?"
Natsume Takashi shook his head, "Not tired." He said, his eyes gently sliding over the monsters fighting and making noise, "Everyone is good, I am very happy."
Natsume waved at him: "If you are not tired, sit down and stay with me for a while."
Natsume Takashi was stunned, pursed his lips, and asked as he sat next to Natsume, "Are you leaving?"
Natsume nodded, his tone was relaxed and he seemed to be in a good mood. "Well, I have a feeling that we will leave in a few minutes. Mr. Deba is right, this trip is really short."
Natsume Takashi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In the end, he decided to keep silent and just sit there to admire the flowers with his other self. The wind blew from afar, lifting their hair. In his ears were the lively sounds of monsters fighting and playing. It was a rare occasion that the cat teacher did not join the monsters at the dinner party to drink together. Instead, he just lay like a big, soft ball on Natsume's legs.
Two monsters that looked like little kids ran over, their wide sleeves creating a gust of wind. Natsume blinked and asked, "Did something run over there?"
Natsume Takashi looked over and said, "Yes, two children have climbed up the tree and are now sitting on the thickest branch and playing."
Natsume Takashi looked a little worried, and as he stood up he said, "I'll go check on them first and be back soon."
Natsume watched him walk past, and saw him looking up from under the huge tree and shouting, "Be careful, come down early when you've had enough fun, and don't fall!"
In response to Natsume Takashi, petals were scattered by an unknown entity, floating down. Natsume Takashi didn't know what he heard, but he smiled with a smile on his face. He bent down and picked up a ball of something that didn't exist in Natsume's eyes and handed it to him.
Natsume moved, picked up the cat teacher and walked over. In his arms, the cat teacher turned over and faced away from Natsume. "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
Natsume Takashi saw him approaching with the fallen flower petals in his hands. The corners of his mouth suddenly stiffened, and his eyes widened as he saw a person who looked almost exactly like him gradually becoming transparent starting from the feet.
The cat teacher jumped out of Lower Natsume's arms and suddenly turned into his original form. His huge body surrounded the two Natsumes in the middle, and he looked at Natsume with an unknown emotion in his eyes.
Natsume smiled, his hands in his pockets, "Thank you for the hospitality, it's time to leave after disturbing you for so long."
Natsume Takashi loosened his grip, and the petals fell to the ground. His eyes showed a bit of sadness and worry, "So soon?"
Natsume nodded and soothed, "Don't worry, whether it's good or bad, it's just a chance encounter."
"Well, do you have anything to say to the cat teacher? Although it cannot be conveyed to your cat teacher, but, at least, this cat teacher is also a teacher! So, I think... I think!" Natsume Takashi said anxiously, almost biting his tongue because of his anxiety.
Natsume thought for a moment, lowered his head and smiled, "When I can't see the teacher, I feel a little bit like that. I think it might be loneliness, but I don't want to tell him that. I have a lot to say to him, but I don't know what to say now. Let's just leave it like this. I think that with various encounters, the memories will remain in my heart forever. Even if I can't see him, I know that the cat teacher is by my side."
When everything was about to disappear, Natsume suddenly raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the cat teacher who had transformed into his original form and was lying prone. It was as if he could see something all of a sudden. In the surprised look of Natsume Takashi, he smiled and said,
"Even so, I still think it's great to meet you."
"teacher."
The wind gradually grew stronger, and petals flew past Natsume's illusory figure and fell to the ground. Unconsciously, the monsters also calmed down and looked over here. Natsume smiled and bowed to them.
"Goodbye, everyone."
Then, even the last trace disappeared.
"…goodbye."
I don't know whose response it was, but it disappeared into the air.
Natsume Takashi reached out to take a few petals blown by the wind, and looked at the cat teacher who had turned back into a lucky cat and was looking up at him, "Let's go back, teacher."

Araki didn't stay for too long after returning to the mission space. The rest time he requested was much longer than expected, which made his bones loose. Now he felt weak as long as he stayed here.
Araki casually took out the terminal and took a look. Not seeing any message that required his response, he threw it on the sofa. He had no intention of saying anything to his friend who was like an old father. He walked quickly to the machine, and then the system's voice rang out.
"Task number A163, please note that the vest draw will begin in five seconds. Confirm the release world."
Araki pressed a red round button and leaned against the machine like a boneless person, waiting for the text to appear. He stretched his arms and legs from time to time, like a person with ADHD, and never stopped for a moment.
The words on the machine kept changing, and finally a line of words appeared:
Bungou Stray Dogs BEAST Line Akutagawa Ryunosuke
At the same time, the mission world for this time also appears in the lower right corner.
"Bungo Stray Dogs Main World"
"Location: A random street with no surveillance downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency"
"Please confirm"
Oh no, this world again?
Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words... Arasuke thought of what he had said to Natsume Takashi before, hmm... literary giant Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not bad, I have decided on you! Arasuke thought of Akutagawa's outfit in the if line and nodded with satisfaction.
Let him think about it carefully, how to express it~
As Araki thought about it, he ruffled his hair and stretched his waist, "Forget it, just do whatever you want~"
"No. A163, release of Bungo Stray Dogs to the world, confirmed."
"System delivery in progress."
"The delivery was successful."
"Please try your best to complete the task, good luck."
