Chapter 598 Takoyaki
Yes or no?
It is related to the deepest secret of his life, and it is also a nightmare that has haunted Natsume Shiki for more than ten years. His strong desire to talk makes him want to tell everything.
But reason prevented this.
Teacher Cat said that this man is very dangerous.
"Sorry, I...I don't know what you're talking about."
Natsume Shiki was obviously not good at lying. When he spoke, he didn't dare to look directly into those eyes that looked extremely calm.
"Is that so? That's such a pity."
Amber stepped on the stairs and was not surprised by Natsume's answer, "Would you like to eat takoyaki? I remember that there is a shop specializing in selling this in Yushu Town. It has been for many years."
"Oh no…"
Just as Natsume Shiki was about to refuse, he felt his hair being pulled, "Okay then..."
"Although this guy doesn't seem like a good person, it's okay if he invites him to eat."
Madara, who transformed into an orange cat, whispered.
Its body is a huge and beautiful fox, very powerful, but after transforming into its current form, its personality will change dramatically.
"teacher…"
Hearing this reason, Natsume Shiki was speechless for a while.
The two people and the cat soon came to the street. The surroundings were quiet except for the chirping of cicadas, which seemed to remind people that summer had quietly arrived.
"Natsume, you're in high school, right?"
Amber clasped her hands behind her head and said in a nonchalant tone.
Natsume Shiki, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was startled, and then replied a little awkwardly: "I am in my first year of high school this year."
"Really? Then I'm one year older than you. We can communicate more in school in the future."
There is only one public high school in Kumamoto Prefecture. Given Natsume Shiki's situation, it is unlikely that he would go to a private school, so Amber was very sure.
"Then... then please take care of me, Brother An."
Natsume Shiki also slowly relaxed.
At least so far, Amber hasn't shown anything unusual, and he also knows his grandmother, Natsume Reiko, so she shouldn't be too bad.
This can be seen from the monsters whose names were returned.
Maybe Mr. Cat was just too nervous just now.
"Take care of me?"
Amber paused upon hearing this and looked over with a smile, "If I have the chance, I will."
"Thanks."
Natsume Shiki was stunned for a moment, because out of the most basic courtesy, most people would be polite after hearing similar words. This was the first time he was so direct like Amber.
But he didn't pay much attention to it, because it was just a casual comment.
The two of them just kept walking along the street. At some point, the sun became more and more fierce. Sweat dripped from Natsume Shiki's forehead, and his physical strength became a little exhausted.
"Not here yet?"
"Soon."
Amber still looked that unhurried, "After hard work, the things you get will become beautiful."
Natsume Shiki nodded in confusion and continued to follow.
After walking for about ten minutes, the aroma of food could already be smelled on the tip of my nose.
"Did you see that old woman?"
Amber raised her hand and pointed to the cart at the corner of the street, "She has been here for many years."
"Yeah…"
Natsume Shiki looked up, and his expression changed immediately. In the direction Amber was pointing, in addition to the old man playing with food, there was also an enlarged version of a centipede floating in the sky, with its ferocious mouthparts, and the endless The twisted body is very disgusting to look at.
"Let's go."
Amber seemed unaware and walked over first.
"etc!"
Natsume Shiki suddenly said, "I suddenly have a stomachache. Please take me to the toilet first, Brother An."
Although the centipede has not shown any aggression yet, its terrifying appearance alone makes people not want to get close to it.
"oh?"
Amber looked at him with a smile, "Is it because you went to the toilet, or because you saw something that others couldn't see?"
Natsume Shiki, who was still holding his stomach, opened his eyes suddenly, "I..."
"No need to explain to me."
Amber looked ahead, "A very scary guy, right?"
"you can see?"
Natsume Shiki was completely confused now.
"The old woman was a lonely old woman who lived nearby, but she actually had a husband when she was young. It was just some accidents that caused her to lose her family."
As Amber spoke, she raised her legs and walked over, "She missed her husband very much, so she chose to live alone and live according to her husband's lifestyle."
Natsume Shiki opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but then he heard the cat teacher on his head say: "Follow him, that guy is not in danger."
After hearing this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
"Missing is a very powerful force, but it is also a twisted force."
Amber's voice was still ringing, but she was already approaching the cart at this time, "Grandma Xiang, please bring me two takoyaki."
"It's Xiao An, no problem."
When the old man saw a familiar face, a smile bloomed on his face, and the wrinkles were squeezed together, "I haven't seen you for a few days."
"at school."
Amber said and turned to look aside. The big centipede had already arrived at the cart at some unknown time.
Natsume Shiki looked at this scene, and his head almost froze. The reason why he didn't go blank was because he was curious about a question.
Can Amber see it?
"Please enjoy."
The old and kind voice sounded, bringing him back to reality. The centipede that had just been lingering here returned to the sky again.
Natsume Shiki raised his head slightly and saw the old man holding a bunch of takoyaki and extending his hand towards him.
He subconsciously took it, but did not eat it immediately.
"Let's go."
Amber bit off one casually, "The money has been paid. Grandma Xiang's craftsmanship is really great, but the price is still so cheap..."
"Hahaha, I'm an old woman, it's no use asking for too much money."
The old man who was praised smiled even more happily, "If you want to eat later, just come over."
"Most definitely."
Amber waved her hand and left with Natsume Shiki.
"Taste it."
He suddenly whispered.
"Huh? Oh..."
Natsume Shiki carefully bit off the top piece of takoyaki, and the rich taste exploded on his tongue, making him almost cry out.
The orange cat, who had been impatient for a long time, also pulled one off with his mouth at this time.
Then one person and one cat showed exactly the same expression.
Enjoy, be comfortable, smile...
“It’s so delicious!”
After a long time, Natsume Shiki couldn't help but praise.
"That's because the bad taste has already been swallowed by other things."
Amber threw away the bamboo stick in her hand.
"Um?"
Natsume Shiki didn't understand what he was talking about, and the question he was about to ask was interrupted by the cat teacher scratching his hair.
"I have something else to do, so you should go back first."
Amber stopped at the fork in the street, "Don't let the elders worry..."
