Natsume Takashi's heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, could this boy also be able to...
"Can you also see..." The monster!
Niou smiled and said, "I guess so..." Niou evaded the question. Although it was true, the way he and Natsume could see monsters was different.
The most important thing I thought about coming to see Takashi Natsume today was——
"So, after knowing your situation, Natsume-kun, I couldn't wait to come over and become your friend!"
Niou extended his hand and looked at Natsume Takashi, with a sincere smile in his eyes, "Natsume-kun, can I be your friend?"
The moment he saw Natsume Takashi, Niou believed what Tomoe said, that Natsume should be living a good life. Of course, when they said "living a good life", they were judging from his aura. His expression was peaceful, and even his aura was very gentle. Natsume should have met a very good family now.
Only a loving family can make people feel or carry such an atmosphere.
But what about friends?
The love of a harmonious family can make a person full of love, but can Natsume really be fully immersed in this love? Don't forget that he is a person who can see monsters. Based on Niou's first understanding of Natsume Takashi, he will not tell his family that he can see monsters.
If he doesn't say it, it means that he cannot fully accept this wholehearted love.
It’s not that this is bad, it’s just that, from Nioh’s perspective, it’s too tiring for Natsume!
Niou felt guilty. After learning about Natsume Takashi's situation, he thought that the two of them were in the same boat. He didn't expect that this young man had a harder life than he imagined. Even though life seems to be much better now, but...
The fear in his heart about the mysterious things has not diminished...
Just as Basae said, perhaps the gods are indifferent, so they don't notice Natsume, or there are other gods or strange powers behind Natsume, and the other gods are not convenient to intervene.
However, Natsume's life was indeed not happy under the gaze of these gods...
Niou wanted to do something. He wanted to do something the first time he saw Natsume.
Niou knew that with his current strength and power, he could do nothing. He could not help Natsume resolve his fear of the mystery, nor could he help Natsume gain power. The only thing he could do was -
Let’s be friends!
Friends are a magical existence. When a person has friends, friends with whom he can talk about everything and eliminate each other's fears, it is like having the strongest support in his heart.
At any time, as long as I think that there is someone in this world who has the same idea as me, I will feel less desperate and sad!
So, let's be friends, Natsume!
…
Natsume: "You want to be my friend?"
Natsume felt like he was dreaming today. Suddenly, a boy who could see monsters came up to him, stretched out his hand, and told him that he wanted to be his friend.
Natsume couldn't believe his eyes, and was even a little scared. Was all this real? Wasn't this a trap or illusion created by some monster?
He couldn't help but reach out and pinch Ren Wang's cheek, "...soft? Or warm? Really?"
He murmured, "It's really true!"
The surprise in his eyes made Ren Wang laugh and feel distressed at the same time.
The moment Natsume made his move, Nioh wanted to stop him. After all, he was already an adult, how could he allow someone to pinch his face?
However, when he saw the fragility in Natsume's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to stop her. This boy was strong and fragile, beautiful and weak!
Otherwise, they would have become their friend. He is young and a junior, so it’s okay for him to be pinched on the face by a fragile senior!
Nioh: ...I'll bear it!
"I am now a real human being!" I may not be sure whether I will be a human being in the future, but I am definitely a human being now.
Natsume said happily, "Yeah..."
Receiving Natsume's affirmation, Niou smiled and said, "Well, my friend Natsume Takashi-kun, your friend, this is your first time visiting the land of Yahara, can I follow you?"
Niou controls his image very well. He knows the purpose of his coming here, which is to see Natsume. After that, he sets a task for himself in his mind, which is to become his friend.
How can I become friends with this gentle person in the shortest time?
Make use of the advantages of your juniors’ young age and enthusiasm.
Although he is not usually enthusiastic and even a little cold, this is the friend he wants to be...
Although this enthusiasm now seems a bit fake, Nioh is happy and joyful in his heart.
Natsume's existence is also a rare existence for him!
…
Because he had snacks for the cat teacher, Natsume had to take Niou home first. On the way, the enthusiastic boy introduced him a lot of things about himself and asked him a lot of questions about him.
In just a short journey, the two people seemed to have known many of each other's stories and quickly became familiar with each other.
"Hey, are you from the tennis club? Can you play tennis?"
"You're pretty good at playing. Our school is going to participate in the national competition. Come watch with me, Natsume!"
"It's in Tokyo, a little far away..." Natsume marveled at the boy's cheerfulness.
"It's okay, I'll send you the ticket when the time comes..."
As they were talking, they had already walked back to Natsume's house.
"Natsume, your house looks so cozy!" Niou could tell at a glance that this was a warm place.
"Yeah, I think so too. Uncle and aunt are very nice!" Natsume was very happy to see a friend he just met praising his family.
"Teacher Cat, I'm back——"
Because it's the weekend, my uncle and aunt are not here today.
Niou was curious why Natsume called his cat teacher. Before he could ask, he saw a chubby ball of meat rolling down the stairs. This ball of meat had three colors!
Moreover, the speed was very fast, and the tendency of the rampage was falling down——
"Natsume, be careful - there are strange three-colored balls of meat falling from your house!"
Relying on his dynamic vision, Niou quickly pulled Natsume behind him, then he prepared to catch the volleyball. With a 'dong' sound, the round ball of flesh hit Niou's hand.
"What the hell is this? It's so heavy!"
Niou sighed. I've heard that Yahara is a blessed land, where many monsters rest and live in peace with humans. Most of the time, there is basically no danger. So, Niou looked at the ball of meat curiously. Is this also a monster? A meatball monster?
However, monsters cannot appear in human homes.
Niou became serious and said to Natsume, "Natsume, wait a minute, let me throw this meat ball monster out, and then we can go in together!"
Natsume’s panicked face: “…”Wait a moment!
