He took the pot of scented tea again, and this time Munechika honestly added sugar.
As compensation, I also got a cup of Natori's favorite pudding.
Natori Shuichi took a sip to soothe his damaged taste buds, and continued to talk about business: "I heard that the entrance to the passage seems to have some connection with time and space. The specific situation is still vague. I only know that it is impossible to seal it again with the current conditions of the demon hunters."
"When we parted, I said we might meet again, so I thought if you haven't left yet, I'd invite you to come and see me."
Natori Shuichi was a little embarrassed: "Maybe it can be of some help to you... or something."
Well, I really didn’t think too much about calling Natsume Takashi at that time.
He was familiar with Natsume Takashi, and there was a high probability that Munechika was by his side. It looked like the boy was not someone who would leave without saying goodbye, so he naturally came as quickly as possible... However, when they were talking on the phone, he certainly did not expect that Natsume Takashi would be so determined to come along because he was worried about Munechika.
He didn't think about it that way at all, and for Natori Shuichi, it was something he could guess with just a little thought.
Munechika was a little stunned after hearing what Natori Shuichi said.
And then, as if it was natural, after being acknowledged by Natori Shuichi, the other party probably did a lot of research.
I always feel that I am being helped by the people around me.
"That location is on the territory of the Chang family. There are people guarding the area, so the only one who can go there openly is my assistant." Natori Shuji continued.
As Munechika was listening, he heard some movement not far away. He noticed that a waiter came in from the entrance of the garden in the distance and respectfully asked a demon hunter who looked very powerful from his temperament to leave.
Natori Zhousu looked over and happened to mention this matter.
"But I didn't expect you to have registered for the demon hunter gathering. The meeting later..." When he said this, Natori Shuichi looked embarrassed. He didn't want Natsume Takashi to run into Shizuka Tsukasa, and naturally he didn't want Natsume Munechika to run into Shizuka Tsukasa.
Originally, it was just him. With Takashi Natsume and Munechika staying in the venue, plus the cat teacher, there would be no problem for him to leave for a while.
But Natsume Munechika's previous actions had already attracted the attention of most demon exorcists.
Not to mention that person.
"It's okay, don't worry." Munechika put a new small cake on the plate that the cat teacher had finished eating, and liked Natsume Takashi who he just noticed.
He took the dish he was eating and passed it to others, then took a plate of pudding and placed it in front of Natori Shuichi.
Then he touched the half fox mask on his face. The edge of the mask was strung with golden tassels, which sparkled in the light and looked very beautiful. He rested his chin on the table.
Natsume Munechika didn't think it was a big deal.
Anyway, the person I'm going to meet in the reception room later is either Shizuji Osamu or Nanase, so it doesn't matter who it is.
Just based on the fact that Natsume Munechika was adopted as a demon exorcist, it is not surprising that after junior high school, he, Natori Shuichi, and Shizuka Oba knew each other.
Then it was mentioned that Natsume Munechika couldn't control his demonic power at home and couldn't go out.
Although the person who adopted him looked stern, he was actually kind underneath. He would not really let Natsume Munechika stay alone in an empty mansion, with only his tutor and monsters to see. So... if I had to say, Natsume Munechika had actually known Shizuka Osamu for much longer than he had known Natori Shuichi.
Even though our relationship didn't seem that close on the surface due to differences in values, we had known each other for so many years and trusted each other deep down.
Anyway, it’s just that everyone has a different stance.
Natsume Munechika could not stop or change Shizuka Shizuka. He might be able to soften Shizuka Shizuka's attitude, but he could not change what he was determined to do. For example, he would do anything to subdue the big monsters or maintain the status of Shizuka clan.
Therefore, all Natsume Munechika could do was to rush to the opponent's target location in advance to subdue it, or to appease and abduct the big monsters whose seals were about to be released in advance.
Something big happened. Natsume Munechika acted quickly and the opponent couldn't catch up with him.
From then on, he just had to ensure the safety of the monsters in his name, and those who were dissatisfied could only talk nonsense behind his back.
Therefore, some demon hunters even resented him.
However, if he encounters a dangerous monster that cannot be awakened, Natsume Munechika will not show mercy.
Even so, when dealing with Shizuka Deba alone, and the monsters that are on good terms with Natsume Munechika, if Natsume Munechika meets their needs, and the monsters take the initiative to ask for a reward, Natsume Munechika will ask them to help Shizuka Deba within their capabilities.
After so many visits, the monsters who liked Natsume Sochin gradually became familiar with Shizuka, and they felt that he was not that annoying, but he was not very helpful.
I resisted so much at first.
But this does not change Natsume Munechika's determination to block the actions of the Ba Ichimon every time.
Anyway, to use what Natori Monday said when he and Natsume Munechika happened to meet behind the scenes of the same program building after finding out about those things, Shizue really had a good temper for not getting angry even though he was robbed of monsters time and time again.
So sad.
Still the same sentence.
Natsume Munechika protects humans as well as youkai.
And in the eyes of others, he is probably considered arrogant to a certain extent.
The standards he protects all come from his own judgment. His judgment is based on human nature and rules, finding a middle line, and trying his best not to lean towards either side. He is not right, but he is not wrong either. He is just trying his best to avoid a story developing into a tragic ending.
After all, sometimes good intentions and kindness do not conflict with bad things and disasters.
Back to the point, he has the ability to handle situations like this, so there is no need to worry.
Munechika took a sip of his tea.
There were quite a lot of people in the venue, and he thought it would take some time before it was his and Natori Zhou's turn, but someone arrived at their table very quickly.
Originally, Natori Shuichi thought that they were looking for him, and was about to say goodbye to the two of them, but he saw a waiter coming over with a picky look on his face, looking straight at Munechika Natsume.
The look in his eyes was as if he was evaluating something, which was unpleasant, but his tone was respectful: "Mr. Natsume, please come in."
Munechika paused.
Natori Shuichi frowned, feeling uncomfortable with this man's behavior, and asked in a low voice, "Why is it the newcomer's turn so soon? Shouldn't I be the first in line?"
The waiter looked over and was obviously panicked when he saw that it was Natori Shuichi. He bowed and said, "I'm very sorry, but the news I've conveyed is that the next person is Mr. Natsume."
Natori stood up and said to Munechika, "I'll go with you."
He was not at all confident in letting Natsume Munechika follow this man like this. It seemed that there might be some temptation or sarcasm in this short journey.
"Mr. Natori, this doesn't make sense without an escort..." The waiter looked embarrassed.
"Why, you can't just send me to the door? I won't eavesdrop." Natori Shuichi showed a bright and charming smile, but the background was shrouded in darkness.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't doubt your meaning," the waiter said in a weak tone, "If that's the case, it should be possible."
I didn't interrupt and waited for both of them to finish speaking.
When he was done, Munechika put down his hand that was turning the handle of the teacup and said to Natori Shuichi in a soothing tone, "It's okay, I can go by myself."
Then, before Natori Shuichi could open his mouth to persuade him, Munechika stood up.
The brown eyes under the fox mask glanced coldly at the waiter who led the way, and said in a flat tone, with words that seemed polite but were imperative: "Let's go, please lead the way."
As I mentioned before, he is also the most powerful demon exorcist.
Just like how many people disliked the chief chef, but when they were in front of him, they had to be respectful no matter what they thought in their hearts. Even if they were his opponents, they had to pretend to be friendly on the surface.
He is gentle, approachable, and soft-hearted, but he was also taught according to the foundation of a famous demon exorcist.
He is always gentle to monsters and ordinary people who do no evil, but he is quite strict with monster exorcists.
Especially those who have high expectations but poor skills but have no self-awareness, always look at things with prejudice, and completely refuse to listen to other people's opinions. Their minds and personalities can be described as inferior.
However, as long as it does not involve oppression or bullying, Natsume Munechika's attitude is at most bad.
But if he found out that the other party had really done something against the rules and human nature, no one would want to bear the wrath of Natsume Munechika.
The more a person appears to be gentle and never gets angry, the more terrifying they are when they get angry.
Faced with such disrespect, Natsume Munechika was definitely not angry, in fact, he was not even unhappy. He just showed a bit of tough temper in order to avoid being offended further, so as to avoid being treated as a soft persimmon.
Well... that's what you call a person with a difficult temper.
That is to say, the speech is changed into an imperative form, but the result is still very polite, and even the tone is not strengthened.
I don't know if it was because of Natori Shuichi's protection of Natsume Munechika, or because of the chilling feeling that came from his back when he was swept by that look.
The waiter who led the way had a contemplative look on his face, and agreed with a sigh of relief. He bowed slightly, took a step back, and led the way honestly, "This way, please, Mr. Natsume."
Just as Sochin took two steps, he felt a familiar breath approaching him quickly, and his tea hair moved slightly.
He understood, and resisted the urge to turn back, but he couldn't help but chuckle silently.
It's Monday, what a familiar move.
Yeah, quite skilled.
The little paper doll from the Natori family hidden in Munechika's hair buried itself and hid itself well.
see
He followed his back until he walked into the door and could no longer be seen, then Natori Shuichi sat down again.
He couldn't help being a little surprised by the command, after all, Natsume Munechika had always been quite friendly.
Even though he had seen the other party's work status during the cleaning commission that day, he would occasionally show his emotions, but he was always very reserved. It must be said that Natsume Munechika was also gentle at that time - in terms of the way he handled things.
But it is clear that Teacher Cat has a different opinion.
The lucky cat-like monster slumped on the table, patting its round belly with cake crumbs at the corners of its mouth. It burped contentedly and said with a bit of relief, "That kid is a bit of a demon hunter. It would be troublesome if he was really like Natsume."
Natori Monday: …
It seems you are right.
But let’s not talk about anything else for now… Natori Zhousu caught a glimpse of the empty cup that was knocked over by the cat teacher, and the human waitress who was attracted by it.
"Um, sorry, please don't break the cutlery."
You are in trouble, little kitty.
"Mr. Cat~" After apologizing and waiting for the waiter to leave, Takashi Natsume picked up Mr. Cat and shook off the pastry crumbs on it. "Pay attention to your image and don't draw so much attention to yourself!"
"Hey, Natsume—"
The cat teacher waved his limbs, and when Natsume Takashi wiped the cake off the corner of his mouth with a tissue, he stopped struggling and made no sound. He half-closed his eyes and let the boy do what he wanted. He looked so happy that he almost gurgled.
Natori Zhoujie looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile.
Munechika followed him into the hall, up the indoor handrail stairs, into the second-floor corridor, and all the way to a lacquered wooden door.
The waiter who led the way stopped, stepped back respectfully and said, "We're here."
Natsume Munechika reached out and grasped the door handle, saying in a clear voice, "Thank you."
This time the usher was somewhat flattered: "No, no need."
He pushed the door open, and what came into view was a curtain blown open by the wind, and a young man sitting at the desk with his back to the light, looking down at some documents, with his long hair slightly fluttering in the wind.
Hearing the noise, he raised his head, put down the paper in his hand, and his single deep red eye curved slightly.
"Welcome, Natsume the demon slayer."
The author has something to say: Irresponsible ooc short drama:

Can you not send another one every time you capture one? And every time it happens to be a monster that was kidnapped earlier!!
