Friends were a little confused about Natsume's sudden enthusiasm. Before, Natsume had never cared much about his grades. He had his own attitude towards life. He seemed gentle but was very determined. But now he suddenly changed.
"If I have to say it, it's probably vanity." Natsume said seriously in response to his friend's doubts.
They were even more confused, vanity?
Natsume has this thing?
Of course Natsume has it, he can lose! But Hei Xiangling can't lose!
He studied very hard for a year, but failed the exam.
It's not particularly surprising. If it were so easy to get into the University of Tokyo, the door would have been broken down. For Natsume, it would be easier than climbing to the sky if he started working hard for a year and a half to get into the University of Tokyo.
His grades were good enough, but his campus life experience, such as being the student union president, or having participated in or won any awards, was blank. He had not taken the TOEFL or IELTS, and his grades were only average among those who were able to enter, so it was normal for him to fail the entrance test.
But Tazi and Zi were still very happy with the final result. They didn't expect their child to be very capable. The most important thing was that the child was happy and healthy. How could he not be able to support himself?
Seeing how hard Natsume had worked before, they asked him if he wanted to take the exam again, but he refused. He said it would be better not to go through such a difficult exam a second time.
It would not sound good to tell others that he had repeated a grade and was admitted to the University of Tokyo. That night he dreamed that Hei Xiangling told him that his happiness was the most important thing. As long as he was healthy, did not hurt others, and would not be hurt himself, then he was a child to be proud of.
So Natsume lay down again.
Natsume also said that he didn't want to go to college. Taki and Shige seriously considered Natsume's idea, found some disadvantages of insufficient academic qualifications and the advantages of going to college, and after confirming that Natsume insisted, they did not ask Natsume anymore.
Since Natsume already has clear plans for the future, they should not interfere too much.
The friends felt sorry for a long time. After trying to persuade him a few times, they knew that Natsume insisted and did not try to persuade him any more. Obviously, they also knew that they could not persuade Natsume at all.
After Natsume became an adult, he took back his parents' inheritance. In fact, there was not much left. His parents died early and did not have time to accumulate much assets. Natsume did not care much about money. He just wanted the house that Hei Xiangling renovated for him.
Before, someone wanted to buy that house, but a relative who didn't know that the house had been renovated advised him to sell it because the house was too dilapidated and would have to be demolished and rebuilt if he wanted to live in it. If he didn't sell it, the annual maintenance would also cost a lot of money, so it would be better to give the money to Natsume, which would be a greater help to Natsume than a house. However, Natsume refused.
After graduating from high school, Natsume was not in a hurry to move into the house left to him by his parents and Xiangling. Instead, he bought a two-story building with a yard in Yahara. He used the first floor as a flower shop and the second floor as his living space, so that he could take care of Tachibana and Shigeru and would not be too far away from his friends.
The monsters often come over to play, and so does Natori, who often comes over when he's not working.
Nishimura went to college. It wasn't a particularly famous university, but it was pretty good. The city was very prosperous. He would send me some photos of his socializing from time to time.
Duogui went to study abroad, which made it more convenient for her parents abroad to take care of her. She said she would come back after she graduated.
Kitamoto chose to take the local civil service exam because of his father's illness. He was afraid that if he went far away, he would receive the bad news of his father's death. Natsume visited Kitamoto's father several times and transferred some spiritual power to him, but his ability had nothing to do with healing. In short, it was only a temporary solution, not a cure, so he often went to check on him. Kitamoto's father is doing well now. Since they live close to each other, they often go out to play together.
Tanuma also passed the local civil service exam and worked while practicing with his father. He was a frequent visitor to Natsume's house. However, he resigned after working for a few years. He was too busy and had no time to practice, so he opened a cafe opposite Natsume to relax. As time went by, the tourism industry in Yahara, a place with beautiful environment and slow pace of life, inexplicably developed.
Natsume and Tanuma are both good-looking, more than qualified to be idols, and they have a mysterious aura, which makes their store very popular. In the end, the two looked at each other, not understanding why they opened the store just to take some time off, so they ended up being so busy?
Natori Shuichi originally wanted to persuade Natsume well. Although he did not go to college and was discovered by a scout halfway to become a star, but isn't it said that college life is wonderful? He didn't want Natsume to lose that beauty that is not contaminated by the world.
"But it's also wonderful to live with Mr. Natori, the monsters of Yahara and my friends." Natsume said sincerely after hearing the reason why Natori persuaded him.
What Natori heard: Life with Mr. Natori is also wonderful.
Natori was defeated.
Natsume's life is very peaceful, but he likes it very much. He inquired about the places his grandmother Reiko had been to, and occasionally closed the flower shop to go to the places his grandmother had been to see if there were any monsters that needed to be named.
Apart from some other monsters who were traveling, Natsume only had a few of them. He wanted to return the names but was rejected.
Shizuka Deba would occasionally come to buy flowers and ask if he could get a demon-exorcism service as a gift, but Natsume refused.
He is really a qualified head of the family. Because of his strong abilities, he has undertaken many dangerous demon-killing missions. For the development of the family, he will also put his attitude right and ask Natsume for help.
Natsume is not good at saying no. He will basically agree after being pestered for a day or two. If someone will be hurt, he will agree even faster. Of course, this only applies to evil monsters.
It is worth mentioning that Shizuka Deba is still very determined to abduct Madara, and seems to think that Moritama is a smaller version of Madara's prototype. Natsume remains silent on this.
