[Comprehensive] Your wish, I will come true

Chapter 19

"So, Natsume, what price do you want?"

what?

Natsume didn't understand, what price would he have to pay?

"Yes, you helped Phoenix, so what do you want in return?"

April [-] looked down at a crystal clear stone in his hand.These are the tears of Phoenix, a gift from Phoenix to thank him for helping him to Nirvana, and it is also a price.

Natsume also has a lot of credit for this and should be rewarded.

What do you want in return?Natsume really hadn't thought about it.After all, helping Phoenix was what he proposed in the first place.And helping Fenghuang is all out of Natsume's kindness, and she doesn't want anything in return at all.

"No need. As long as Master Fenghuang can live a better life in the future, it will be fine."

April [-]st does not speak.

Xia Mu, who was stared at by April [-]st, felt apprehensive.Did he say something wrong?

"I remember you wanting not to see youkai before. Although I can't fully realize it, but..."

"I can give you a dream without monsters."

After finishing speaking on April [-]st, Natsume felt a surge of drowsiness.

What would a dream world without youkai be like?

Natsume doesn't know.This is what he has always thought about when he was a child, and it is also what he has imagined countless times.

But maybe, this dream...

Quan Lu Duo Lu supported Natsume who was already asleep, and carefully asked in a soft voice:

"April [-]st, do you want to bring Natsume inside?"

"Well. I'm sorry to trouble you."

What Natsume said before does not require repayment, and it is impossible to agree on April [-]st.

If it weren't for the need to balance the cost, April [-]st would not have offered to help Natsume realize her wish.

It took him so long to master how to balance this price, and he was injured even more because of the unbalanced price charged.

However, even if he is now able to collect the price perfectly and deal with various wishes better, he still can't give Yuko the feeling of strategizing.

Natsume doesn't know the principle of balancing the price, and there is no need for Natsume to know this principle.

He could give Natsume a dream without monsters, but he couldn't give himself a dream where Miss Yuko came back.

He always believed that Miss Yuko would come back.

****

Natsume was awakened by someone.

"Natsume, Natsume, did you stay up late last night?"

"North Ben?"

Natsume was very surprised.Didn't he already come to Tokyo as an exchange student?How come back here?

By the way, monsters!

Thinking of what he said on April [-]st, Natsume rushed out.He knows where to see a lot of monsters!

"Hey! Where are you going, Natsume?! You won't be in the next class?"

Ignoring Kitamoto's yelling, Natsume was not in the mood to worry about whether or not he was going to class.

Rushing into the woods in a hurry, Natsume walked into the depths of the woods, looking around constantly at the same time.

No, no, no, still no.

Natsume didn't see any youkai.

Are the monsters gone?Or did he really lose sight of the monster?

Natsume, who was tired from running, leaned against the tree, unable to explain how he felt now.

The monster is gone, which should have made him very happy, as a childhood dream has come true.

But why, so uncomfortable?

why?

Is it because you have already bonded with youkai?

Natsume didn't know how he got there that afternoon.Natsume didn't seem to feel anything, and it was Kitamoto and Nishimura who saw that he was in a bad state and sent him back, otherwise Natsume might not be able to go home by himself.

By the way, he also has Aunt Tazi and Uncle Zi.

"Ah! What happened to Gui Zhijun? Why..."

"I don't know, Natsume suddenly became like this." Kitamoto was also very confused, not knowing what happened to his friend.

"It's okay, Aunt Tazi, Beiben, I'm fine."

But this is not convincing at all.

"By the way, Aunt Tazi, Teacher Cat, ah no, where is Meowgoro?"

"Meow Goro? We don't have cats at home."

Isn't even the cat teacher here?

Natsume returned to the room with an uncontrollable sadness in his heart.

C, middle-level monsters, and Mr. Cat are all gone now.He couldn't see the monster anymore.

The eye sockets are a little moist.Natsume resisted the urge to cry, but still couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Those middle-level monsters who would hold a white flag and shout "Master Natsume" with a smile are gone.

He obviously hates boys, but Cie, who was kind to Natsume, is gone.

Although it is often unreliable, the cat teacher who always protects him is gone at critical moments.

Everyone is gone.He can't see them anymore.

Is his fate with the monster broken like this?

"Book of Friends!"

Natsume remembered that if he could find Reiko's account of friends, and then ask Duogui how he drew the formation that could see the monsters, maybe he could still be with the monsters!

however……

"What is Guizhi-kun looking for?"

"I don't know, this kid became very strange when he came back. Did something happen at school?"

"I don't know, his classmates said that Gui Zhijun suddenly became like this."

"Maybe I received some stimulation."

Toko and Shige are also very worried about such Natsume.

still none.

Natsume searched all of Reiko's belongings, but still didn't have the book of friends.

It seems that everything related to monsters has disappeared, and "Natsume Takashi" doesn't seem to come back with injuries every day. "Natsume Takashi" has never been in contact with monsters.

Natori Monday!

"Aunt Toko, do you know Natori Monday?"

"Natori Monday? I haven't heard of it."

"Multitrack, didn't you have someone who could see monsters before..."

"Youkai? Natsume-kun, what are you talking about? How could I know this kind of formation. Besides, whether there are youkai in this world is a question."

It seems that all things related to monsters have disappeared.

Now Natsume will no longer be involved in strange things because of monsters, will no longer be chased by monsters because of the account of friends, and will no longer be considered a liar because he can see monsters.

This kind of life is peaceful and indifferent.It's like a glass of plain water without any taste.

Natsume felt that this was the life she had longed for.But why do I still feel so sad?

Obviously...

Maybe it's because I've dealt too much with monsters, and now I'm not used to being without monsters.

But Natsume still retains many of her habits.

For example, bring an extra bottle of water when you go out, because you are afraid of seeing a kappa lying on the side of the road again, looking like you are about to die due to lack of water.

For example, I still dare not go directly into the forest every time, and I am afraid of being entangled by some monsters.

For example, every time I pass by the Nanatsujiya shop, I still buy some steamed buns, and when I get home, I realize that Mr. Cat is no longer there, and no one will chase him for the Nanatsujiya steamed buns anymore.

Is this what April [-] says about wish fulfillment?

If this is a dream, wake up quickly.Although monsters have had a great impact on my life, monsters have also brought me a lot of different joys.

Yokai also have good, cute Yokai.

Although monsters are not human, they cannot understand some human behaviors.But monsters also have the habit of monsters.Knowing these, it is not difficult to get along with monsters.

I am Takashi Natsume, I can see youkai.I am willing to communicate with monsters and help monsters.

After thinking about these things, the dream quietly shattered.

****

"April [-], what kind of dream is this?"

"Yes, yes, what dream?"

"This." April Yi took a deep puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes, and replied, "It's a dream that can let this child understand the relationship between himself and the monster."

"If he likes a life without monsters, he will always stay in the dream. If he feels that he still needs monsters in his life, and the fate with monsters cannot be severed, the dream will be shattered."

This is the dream that he paid a lot of money to get from Mengmai.

So Natsume, how would you choose?

This time, Natsume really woke up.

Sitting up in surprise, seeing April Yi next to him who was still smoking, Natsume was full of questions but couldn't ask them.

"So, do you know?"

"Do you know what your real wish is? To never see youkai again, or to help youkai like now?"

Natsume replied firmly: "I want to continue to help youkai in need like I do now."

The world without monsters is too lonely, too quiet.

"That's it."

Congratulations, Natsume-kun, you finally understand what you really want.

"It's late now. Is it all right if you don't come home all night?"

"what!"

Seeing the back of Natsume leaving in a hurry, April [-]st is really a rare smile——sincerely, heartily laughing.

"Natsume, are you missing? It took so long to come back!"

"I'm sorry, teacher, I didn't come back in time because of the delay."

"Really. He's still a brat after all."

"Well. Thank you teacher."

Natsume picked up the cat teacher and buried her face on the cat teacher Mao Rongrong's back.Natsume has never felt that Mr. Cat is so reliable.

"Will the teacher leave me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't got the friend account yet. How could I leave first?"

"that's true."

Natsume, who knew Mr. Cat's knife-mouthed tofu heart, didn't take Mr. Cat's words to heart.

Yes, Mr. Cat will not leave before he passes away.

This is enough.

"Okay, you've been busy all day, go to sleep."

"Teacher, if one day I don't see monsters anymore..."

"How is it possible, your boy has such strong spiritual power, how could he not be able to see monsters?"

"Don't worry, Reiko can see youkai all the time even before she leaves. You are not weaker than her, of course you can see it."

"Stop talking nonsense. Go to sleep."

"good night, teacher."

Madara turned into a prototype, lying quietly beside Natsume, encircling Natsume, forming a perfect protective circle.

So there is nothing to worry about. This kind of protection has never been broken.
