"Brother! Are you sure you want to give me this?!”
Takashi Natsume's mouth twitched as he looked at Ryukawa Natsume with a pained expression.
"Of course! I think you look so cute in women's clothing, so I carefully chose this outfit for you.”
"Scatter! Go and change into it quickly. It will definitely fit very well.”
"Bang!"
Takashi Natsume almost fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with grief and indignation."I'm a man! Brother, are you sure it's appropriate to buy me something like women's clothing?!”
Natsume Ryuha blinked." Of course. Didn't you insist on wearing a female outfit last time?"”
"I couldn't even stop him. Why are you unwilling now?？”
"That's not me!"
"I was possessed by the 'shallow onion." Takashi Natsume struggled.”
"F * ck! But you've already bought it. Are you sure you don't want to try it?”
"No way! You're as bad as ever."
Natsume Takashi left in grief and indignation. Only a fat orange cat heard the commotion and ran up the stairs.
"Yo, Longhe kid, and Asuka Chan.”
"Greetings, Lord Ban."
Igawa Asuka bowed politely.
Natsume Ryukawa picked up the cat teacher with one hand and said with a smile,"Teacher Cat, I'm back."
"Welcome back!"
............
After hearing that Natsume Ryukawa had returned.
Uncle Fujiwara also got off work early and went home. Dinner was also very sumptuous, all of which were Natsume Ryukawa's favorite dishes.
Neither Uncle Fujiwara nor Aunt Fujiwara asked much about Natsume Ryukawa's sudden return. They only asked him if he was used to staying in the capital.
After dinner.
Natsume Ryuha dragged his younger brother Takashi and ran out.""Uncle, I'm going to meet my friends with Guizhi. I might come back later.”
"Yes! Be careful on the road."
It was night!
The night sky was filled with stars that were as bright as the moon, guiding Natsume and Takashi who had lost their way into the forest.
"You went to look for demons as soon as you came back. As expected, you must have encountered trouble outside!”
Takashi Natsume stared at Natsume Ryukawa.
After all, they were blood brothers. After so many years, Takashi Natsume knew Natsume's temper very well.
In the past, whenever Natsume Ryukawa was in trouble, he would run to the mountains in the middle of the night to call for help. This had never changed after so many years.
Natsume Ryukawa glanced at Takeshi from the corner of his eye.”
"Tsk! You're only a year older than me."
"A year older is still older. In short, you're a younger brother.”
As they ventured deeper into the forest, rustling sounds could be heard from time to time.
"It's the two brothers from the Natsume family. They've run into the forest again.”
"And Lord Ban! And an unfamiliar demon."
"Yes, yes! This is going to be lively."
"Buzz!"
The air trembled slightly, and dim lights floated in the forest out of thin air, dispelling the darkness and guiding the light.
It was as if the elves in the forest were guiding the two brothers.
Unlike the two Natsume brothers who were used to it, Igawa Asuka's eyes were filled with curiosity as she walked over!
She had never seen so many demons living in harmony like elves in the forest.
Not only did she not attack the humans, but she even politely pointed the way and lit up the lights. This was definitely something that Igawa Asuka did not even dare to imagine!
After passing through the forest.
Natsume Ryukawa, Takashi, Igawa Asuka, and the others arrived in front of an open space!
The huge open space was currently decorated with lanterns and streamers. There were at least hundreds of demons around a bonfire, singing and dancing as they cheered, like a musical concert in the forest.
Demons of all sizes were celebrating in the open space.
There were large and small demons, humanoid demons, and beast-like demons. Each of them held a wine cup of varying sizes and drank happily.
"Wow! Everyone, wait for me. I'm coming."
The cat teacher, who had just smelled the smell of alcohol, immediately broke free from Natsume Takashi's embrace and ran happily towards the bonfire.
"This is…"
Igawa Asuka, who was also a monster, could feel how powerful and terrifying every monster in the gathering was!
There were probably no less than ten existences at the level of great demons! There were countless mid-level demons.
Natsume Ryukawa looked at Asuka, who was holding her black sword tightly, and patted her shoulder lightly."Don't worry, these are all family!”
"Family?"
Igawa Asuka subconsciously looked at Natsume Ryukawa.
Natsume Longhe said proudly,"They are all members of the Natsume Inu Guild!" This was the largest monster organization in Yahara.”
"Eh! All of them?"
Igawa Asuka was a little surprised. She never expected that Natsume Ryukawa, whom she followed, would have such a powerful force in her hometown.
Natsume Ryukawa waved his arms happily."Everyone! Long time no see. Did you miss me?”
"Hua ~! There is."
"Welcome back, Lord Longhe! Our Natsume-Inu Guild is always thinking about Lord Longhe.”
"Come to the banquet! Singing and dancing to your heart's content."
“......！”
Monsters were simple and honest, but they were also lonely. Natsume Longhe had already discovered this!
That was why the Natsume Inu Association was established to gather these demons!
Because of the lonely monster! It would disappear.
......
"I heard that Lord Longhe encountered some trouble in the capital?”
Sanxiao was a high-level demon with a huge body and the appearance of a horse.
He had a pair of horns on his head, and one of his eyes was always covered by a head of white hair. He was very domineering and had the demeanor of a leader.
He was also an important member of the Natsume Inu Association. He was once the leader of the demons who dominated this forest. His strength was comparable to that of the cat teacher in his true form.
Natsume Ryukawa held his wine glass and said with a smile,""There was indeed some trouble, so I came back to ask for your help.”
"Haha! I haven't walked out of this forest for a long time.”
"But if Lord Longhe is in trouble, we will not hesitate!”
"How troublesome! Haha, there's actually someone who dares to find trouble with Lord Longhe. Could it be that the world has forgotten the fear of us Jiuzhou monsters ruling over the countries?”
"Step out of the abyss and conquer the heavens."
“……！”
All the monsters were paying attention to the main character of the banquet, Natsume Ryukawa.
Therefore, the moment they heard Natsume Ryukawa ask for their help, they all spoke with murderous intent.
"Huala!"
For a moment, even the huge bonfire in the open space started to shake under the terrifying demonic qi pressure!
Takashi Natsume stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape.
"Brother! What kind of trouble did he encounter?”
After saying that, Natsume Takashi subconsciously looked at the cat teacher who was holding a bottle of wine and narrowing his eyes.
"Motherf * cker, you must know!”
"What happened to my brother?”
He had inexplicably run back to Yahara from the capital and gathered everyone at the first moment. From the looks of it, he was prepared to fight.
As his younger brother, how could Takashi Natsume not be worried!
"F * ck! There was no need for Guizhi to worry about this. Besides, this was a good thing for Longhe.”
"After all, as the eldest son of the Natsume family, isn't it a little too much to keep running away?”
"Me! How can I not be worried?"
Takashi Natsume clenched his fingers, his delicate face filled with melancholy!
"I've never seen brother so angry! Why?"
“......。”
The banquet lasted for a long time, but Natsume Takashi and Natsume Takashi did not stay for long!
Because they all knew.
Whenever the two brothers went out at night, the Fujiwara couple would not be able to sleep until they returned.
However, the matter was already considered over, wasn't it?
With the help of most of Yahara's demons, Natsume Ryukawa was very confident in his trip to the capital.
"Hiroto Fujisaki, a thousand years old warlock, can you really withstand the anger of the nine provinces?!”
"Regarding this! You must pay the price.”
“......。”
Natsume Ryukawa was not going to return to the capital so easily after finally getting a week off.
However, the days spent by his family were always short!
Soon, it was Friday. Natsume Ryukawa carried a large bag of luggage on his back and prepared to head to the station near Kumamoto with Uncle Fujiwara's help.
............
"Natsume, you have to study hard when you go to Kyoto this time. Don't be too playful. If you miss home, let me know. We can also come to Kyoto to see you.”
Uncle Fujiwara said to Natsume Ryukawa who was sitting in the backseat.
"Yes, yes! Uncle Fujiwara, don't worry. I'm the first in the whole grade.”
"You've been sensible since you were young. I'm not worried about that.”
"But sometimes, you need to learn to get along with your classmates.”
Natsume Ryukawa fell silent upon hearing this. He could not help but look at the scenery outside the window.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of it.
"Uncle Fujiwara, can you stop for a moment?" Natsume Ryukawa hurriedly asked.!”
"Chi chi ~!"
The car suddenly braked. Uncle Fujiwara turned around and looked at Natsume Ryukawa."What's wrong?"
Natsume Ryukawa smiled and opened the car door.""I just saw a friend. I'll be back soon.”
"Oh!"
Natsume Ryuha pushed open the car door and sped toward the nearby forest. Soon, he arrived at an ancient and dilapidated shrine.
From the outside, it looked like a palanquin! The front of the altar was covered by a red curtain, and it was impossible to see what was being worshipped inside.
Although the altar was old and dilapidated, it was still enough to see the offerings of fresh flowers and fruits on the altar.
"Oh! So it's you, little brat."
Natsume Ryukawa nodded with a smile.”
Even the usually carefree Natsume Longhe would have to address the person in front of him respectfully as " Your Excellency ".
"Then! Why are you here to pay your respects?"
The old voice was filled with gentleness, and there was a faint divine might in his words.
Natsume Longhe thought for a moment and said solemnly,""I want to sign a contract with the gods! Please approve."
"Huff ~!"
A gentle mountain breeze blew past, blowing away the red curtain covering the corner of the altar, revealing the true body of the being worshipped.
It was a sacrificial object that looked like a bull's head bone.
It was covered in bloodstains, and there were faint cracks on its skull. In its empty eye sockets, there was a flame that had never been extinguished.
Are you serious?"
The voice was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it carried a heavy and mottled history from the ancient river of time.
This was because the person in front of him was the most primitive god in the world.
Natsume Ryukawa smiled.”
"Allow!"
.........
Returning to the car, Natsume Ryukawa was drenched in sweat. His face was pale, which was rare, as if he had exhausted a lot of his energy.
"Sorry, Uncle Fujiwara, we can continue walking.”
"Yes."
Natsume Ryukawa looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly felt a cold sensation on his palm!
Igawa Asuka held Natsume's hand tightly as she looked at him worriedly.
He met Igawa Asuka's worried gaze and gently squeezed her little hand that was reaching out to him. He smiled gently and didn't say anything.
"However, I am indeed a little tired. This is the first time I have exhausted the spiritual energy in my body to the bottom.”
Ryukawa Natsume closed his eyes tiredly and unknowingly fell asleep in the car.
After an unknown period of time, Natsume Ryukawa heard a faint shout.
"Longhe, it's time to get up.”
Natsume Ryukawa opened his eyes and realized that he was wearing a jacket.
Looking at the time, two hours had already passed, and the journey seemed to only take an hour.
In other words, after Uncle Fujiwara sent him to the station, he drove the car to the parking lot and waited for him for an hour.
Natsume Ryukawa immediately looked apologetic.""Uncle Fujiwara is very sorry for making you wait for so long.”
Uncle Fujiwara smiled and said,"It's okay, get in the car!" Don't be late."
"Yes! Goodbye, Uncle Fujiwara."
“......。”
