I am a master of light novels in Japan

Suddenly, a girl with short brown hair walking down the corridor saw Li Yan standing alone by the lotus pond of the school, and was surprised. After all, she had already known Li Yan before, and immediately greeted the people not far behind. Natsume Takashi comes over.

Natsume Takashi walked out soon, and not far away, he saw the one who hadn't seen each other for a while, and Li Yan, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Huh?!" Zhenzhou was startled immediately, could not help but jumped into the lotus pond, turned into a fish and escaped.

"...I escaped in the end, so Tsundere's disadvantage is that it makes people feel headache." Li Yan noticed Natsume at first, and even if it was too late to prevent the escape of Saezhou, he suddenly sighed with emotion.

However, he looked at Takashi Natsume again. At this moment, Li Yan could also see from the expression of Natsume that it would be useless to play stupid.

"You already knew it." Li Yan said.

"Um... sorry, senpai, after all, she doesn't look like she intends to be discovered by me." Natsume Takashi said with a smile.

"Sometimes, you should take the initiative. Being too gentle will delay some things. The longer the misunderstanding, the more energy you have to resolve. Sure enough, you and her know each other. I worry about it for so long, but it's a good thing. , Then I don’t care about this matter for the time being.” Li Yan smiled and said.

"Uh..." Multitrack was confused and looked at the two of them in confusion, but vaguely understood it, it seemed to be about monsters. She always felt that Li Yan might not be better. Like Natsume Takashi, he is also a special person who can see youkai without any obstacles.

"I haven't seen you for a while, multitrack classmate." Li Yan nodded and said hello when he noticed the multitrack penetration on the side.

"Well, Senior Li, I was taken care of in Tokyo last time." Multitrack Tony said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, next time I will treat you and Xia Mei more carefully."

After being polite with Multitrack Tou, Li Yan turned his gaze back to Takashi Natsume again and asked, "So, Natsume, what are you going to do?"

"..."

After Takashi Natsume was silent for a while, his expression calmly said: "I don't remember anyone hating anyone. Ms. Sasamune seems to have shaken her heart because of someone's death. Only the person who wants to see is no longer alone. I’m alone. However, a lonely person will only appear lonely if given a longing. I will talk to Miss Sasasune, but I will find her after she calms down."

After he finished speaking, he smiled warmly.

"Well, I understand." Li Yan nodded and said.He felt that if it was Takashi Natsume, it would surely make people feel very relieved.

"Senior... When school is over in the afternoon, do you have time? A few classmates and I are going to pay homage to an old man we know. Sure enough, I hope that senior will also go there. I will tell Senior and Multitrack about Miss Sasune. ."

Takashi Natsume pondered for a while, and finally, he looked at Li Yan and asked.

Within a mountain forest about ten kilometers away from the village where Natsume lives, there is an area with many rivers, lakes and swamps.

After getting off the bus, Li Yan and Takashi Natsume walked along a road leading to the deep forest in black costumes. The sky was a little gray and it looked like it was raining again.

"It's going to rain." Kitamura looked up and said.

"Well, we have to go there quickly," Takashi Natsume said to them.

Li Yan had no choice but to follow the team closely. Neither he nor Multitrack Tou had ever seen the old grandmother, the one who had formed an indissoluble bond with the mermaid and had a relationship that spanned decades of friendship. But after listening to Xia Mei's narration on the road, he and Duoguan Tou also had the heart to commemorate this person who had never met.

[Puff!!

When passing by a slender wooden bridge across the lake, Li Yan and Takashi Natsume realized something suddenly when they heard the sound of water under their feet, but when they looked at the lake, there was nothing.

But, probably... the "friend" who had been avoiding it has also returned to his hometown.

Chizu Banaka, this is the name of that old grandma. Although she is very old, she has always insisted on opening this folk shop called [Yishizhuang B&B], so that guests from afar can have a good rest and have a good time. Chatting, unknowingly, many people have been taken care of by her. In the afternoon of this day, not only Natsume Takashi and others, but also guests from other places, even flying over, all participated. The funeral of this friend.

Soon, the ashes, escorted by her descendants, were sent to the cemetery and displayed among the rows of tombstones.

Finally, after a few thunders in the sky, a light rain began to patter, and the gloomy sky gradually began to disperse and disperse from the people who were seeing off. Finally, Natsume Takashi and others were left and waited until Natsume waited. After the people left, when night approached, there was no one here, and it seemed so lonely and silent.

The cemetery surrounded by emerald green woods, but gradually, a late friend came and walked to the stele engraved with [Sakazaka Chizu]. She didn’t bring an umbrella. She even said that she liked rainy days like this more, but , Suddenly, she began to hate such dim weather...

"I'm here..."

Sasara, very close to the stone tablet, looked forward with a smile, whispering as if a friend met.

"Sure enough, it's very pitiful. The old girl has become a grandmother. Human beings are such fragile creatures. They are not honest at all, they always cry, they are still so reckless and immature. Obviously they are the mothers of several children..."

She lowered her body and said in a low voice: "If you are over there, you must take good care of yourself. If you are so stupid and unreliable, you won't find me to talk to..."

After the leaves were full of water droplets, they dropped slightly and let it flow, so emerald green and full of desertedness.

The rain was so loud that I could not hear what this mermaid was talking to her friend...

A figure returned to the cemetery, holding a black umbrella, watching quietly.

Li Yan had expected that Sasara would come, and Natsume Takashi and others wanted to come over again, but he just watched such a scene.

As the rain got heavier and heavier, the mermaid's words gradually became uncomfortable.

Because no matter how much I said, I can’t get the warm response that I once said...

Once, in order to avoid her own guilt, she had been living in trouble for herself, and she had always planned to teach her a lesson, but, sure enough... she forgot that the other party was a human, and the other party could not wait for her to calm down. Reconciled...

"Sure enough, you came here anyway, Miss Sasazhou." Li Yan whispered while holding an umbrella to shield the mermaid from rain.

"..."

"So, be brave. You are not alone. Although your friend is gone, you still meet a gentle person. I think you should be brave. Friends don’t want to live forever, but at the moment of meeting. With a cherished partner. Let her go, Miss Sasafune..."

Li Yan's body was mostly wet by the rain, he looked down at her and said.

In front of me, that one, covering his eyes with his hands, the tears and rain merged together, tightly holding the stone tablet and unable to speak the mermaid girl...

Chapter 161

Under the dim sky, among the wet tombstones, among the silent and wet woods, the girl's slender hand gently pushed back the umbrella she had passed over.

"That one……"

Gradually let go of the tombstone's Sasara, raised his head and looked at Li Yan beside him, shook his head, closed his eyes, and said, "I don't need an umbrella... It's better to take care of yourself..."

"...Is that so?" Li Yan hesitated for a moment. Although he also understood that mermaids should like rain, he still couldn't help trying to shelter her under this umbrella when he looked at such a desolate scene. Some were taken back, but the umbrella still blocked the sad mermaid girl.

"Well, why are you back again? Did you lose something?" Saishu Duanli's face looked at him curiously, her voice was a little hoarse, as if she was forcibly stopping her crying, which made her throat a little uncomfortable, asked.

"No, I just came to see your situation for a while. Natsume also knew that you would come here to miss your friends after everyone left. Sure enough... Actually, you didn't plan to say goodbye to your friends in the first place. Right? The same is true for people, that goodbye, it's better not to say it... once it is said, it seems that the person is really going to leave in front of him."

Li Yan looked at the tombstone with melancholy eyes, and squatted by her side, and said with emotion to her amidst the pattering rain scene.

"Um..." Sasara looked at Li Yan quietly, seeming to be attracted by his words, which resonated in her heart. She turned her head to look at the tombstone of her friend and whispered, "Well, it is true. In my case, I have never had any contact with other humans. It turns out that such a mood is common to humans..."

"Why is it obvious that humans and monsters have similar moods, but humans want to kill us mermaids for greed... Now, monsters, actually I... I realized that before Chizu died, she seemed I'm about to leave this world, so... I have looked for her."

With wet blond hair and rain dripping from her delicate cheeks, Sasaya looked ahead.

"Eh...Have you expected it?" Li Yan asked in a daze.
