On the way back, Iulio quietly leaned against the sofa, looking out the window at the passing scenery.

Xiao Lan sat opposite Yuri and worriedly said to Radical 145, "It seems that Yuri really doesn't want to be separated from Natsume."

Radical 145 glanced at Yuri and lifted his chin. "Sister Lan, don't be fooled by this guy. She's obviously frightened by Natsume's words.

Hmph, what a good-for-nothing. "

When he first saw how calm this guy was in front of Natsume, he felt that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, when she heard that there were monsters in this world, she would have screamed immediately. How could she be so calm?

Sigh, only he could see through the surface and see the essence of things.

Poor Natsume, that silly child, he actually worships her.

Iulio came back to her senses and heard someone slander her. She mercilessly told him what God's Retribution was.

This naughty child didn't even know how to deal with the danger and started to test the waters.

"Little Zei, are you trying to rebel?"

The crook of her arm firmly locked Radical 145's neck. "The number of monsters Iulio killed in her previous life is more than the amount of salt you've eaten in your life."

She didn't know whether those grotesque celestial beings or the monsters were more eye-catching. Oh, right. Next time when she wrote to Natsume, she would ask him to draw those monsters.

Speaking of which, she didn't expect Natsume to be so old-fashioned. How convenient was the phone?

Speaking of the phone, when she had a video call with her dad who was digging oil somewhere, she would ask him to buy it for her and Ah Gang. Anyway, he would definitely say yes, yes, yes, yes …

"Don't try to fool me with the same excuse you used to fool Natsume!"

Radical 145 was so angry that his face turned red when he saw that Yuri could still be distracted in such a situation. Moreover, he couldn't break free when she was distracted … (*/*/) What did this guy eat growing up?!

Xiao Lan looked at the scene in front of her and was completely speechless. She simply picked up Ah Gang and accompanied him to watch the game.

Looking at Radical 145 who was about to jump out of Jin Doudou, Iulio finally mercifully let him go. However, in order to prevent him from continuing to ruin his reputation, some things still had to be made clear. "How can a mere monster scare me? I've finally confirmed that this world has something against me."

Not wanting to talk about this issue any longer, Iulio changed the topic. "When we left, what were you and Seiko talking about?"

"No, nothing."

Atobe's body froze, and he tried his best to stop his eyes from wandering. "I just decided to continue playing tennis."

Speaking of that, Atobe's presence returned. "That was a rather flashy sport. I will only lose this time. Next time we meet, I will definitely defeat him in the competition."

"Next time? next?

I don't know when the next time we meet will be … "Iulio sighed.

"What's there to sigh about? Just fly back when you want to see him, it's just a matter of time." Radical 145 was puzzled.

The veins on Iulio's forehead bulged. Sorry, Iulio, who was used to being poor, didn't think of such a good, simple, and simple method.

Looking at the two people who had started to fight again, Xiao Lan sighed tiredly and patted Ah Gang's head. "This is the most worrisome."

"Sigh."

Ah Gang, who didn't understand, raised his head and gave a cute smile.

"By the way, Ah Gang, what do you think about monsters?" Why did everyone accept it as a matter of course?

As the only "normal" person who was afraid of monsters, Xiao Lan felt very tired.

"Hmm."

Ah Gang thought for a moment. "Because Natsume said that most monsters aren't interested in humans who can't see them. On the contrary, little monsters like to play pranks. They may cause some trouble, but they are generally not dangerous."

"Also, if there are monsters, is it possible that the reason I fell and embarrassed myself so easily in the past was because of a monster's prank?" Ah Gang was actually a little excited as he said this.

Xiao Lan patted Ah Gang's head again and sighed. "He's also a worrisome one."

"But …"

"But, monsters …" Xiao Lan looked out the window. "I really want to tell Shinichi … but I promised Natsume to keep it a secret.

And that guy won't believe me. "

"Alright."

△△△

The first place they arrived at was Ah Gang's house. When they got out of the car, Ah Gang wanted to hug Xiao Lan and not let go, but when he saw Enrique push up his glasses, he subconsciously shivered and obediently followed Nainai out of the car.

"Why do I feel like my vacation is gone in the blink of an eye?" Ah Gang asked in a spiritual interrogation.

Iulio followed behind Nainai and looked at Radical 145, who stood with his arms crossed and refused to speak. Iulio's mouth twitched. Forget it, I won't lower myself to the level of a child. "Then, Xiao Jing, goodbye. I'll call you."

"Hmph, in that case, I'll consider visiting you during my vacation." Ah, the peacock's tail is up.

Nainai and the others also finished saying their goodbyes, leaving only the three of them standing in front of the door.

"We're back," Nainai said.

…

After coaxing the two children to sleep, Nainai began to tidy up the room. As a perfect housewife, even if she was only away for three days, she couldn't be careless.

She carefully folded and sorted the clothes in the suitcase one by one. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

When she opened the door, Nainai was surprised. "Yuri?"

…

At first, Iulio closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. After Nainai left for a while, he still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he opened the quilt and jumped out of bed.

Looking at Ah Gang, who was sleeping on the bed next to him with his belly exposed, she gently covered him with the quilt and gave him a comment. "You're like a little pig."

When he came to Nainai's door, he hesitated for a while, but still knocked on the door.

"Yuri Sauce, can't sleep?" Nainai asked.

"Yeah."

Looking at the hesitant Yuri in front of him, Nainai asked gently, "Yuri, do you have something to say to mom?"

"Yeah."

After thinking about it, Iulio decided to ask directly.

"Mom, what do you think of Natsume?"

"Eh?

Lord Natsume?

He's a very gentle child. "

"Then, mom." Iulio looked up. "Can we let him join our family?"

Nainai looked at Yuri in surprise. Iulio looked at her stubbornly and refused to lower his head.

Nainai looked at Yuri, who was trying to hide his nervousness, with pity. She squatted down and looked at him at eye level. "I've discussed this with Yumi Aya and Aunt Enrique."

"… Mom!"

"Did you agree?" Iulio asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, Yuri."

Seeing Yuri's eyes dim, Nainai continued, "Yumi Aya specially consulted several colleagues in charge of this area, and the results were the same."

"None of us are qualified to adopt him."

"Why?

Why can those people adopt him, but we can't? "Iulio didn't understand.

"The conditions for adoption are very strict. At the very least, the adopter must have a harmonious family, which Enrique is out of the question. The adopter must be a citizen of the country and live in the country for a long time, which Yumi Aya can't do. Also, the adopter couple must be able to spend enough time with the child, which we can't do."

"And, Yuri."

Nainai paused, "Rock Well and his wife may not care about Natsume, but they haven't really mistreated him. Unless they agree, no one can get custody from them."

"Considering Natsume's special situation, we can't even criticize Rock Well and his wife for not caring about him."

"But."

Nainai changed the topic.

"As the first person to discover the Suwon Shrine, Natsume is in the limelight. Even Rock Well and his wife's hostel has received a lot of attention.

They're smart people, and they know what to do. "

"We promise that when Natsume is in trouble, we won't sit by and do nothing." Nainai promised.

"Please believe that such a brave and gentle Natsume will definitely find a good home." Nainai said.

"That's true, but I keep feeling that something is off."

…

A month later, he finally received a reply from Natsume.

The letter said, "Now the Suwon Shrine has been demolished. The valuable parts have been directly donated to the museum, and the rest will be rebuilt on the original site.

The 'sudden appearance of the shrine' was reported by the media, and it attracted a lot of people to visit it. It's very lively every day. Mr. Suwon hasn't appeared for a long time.

And, perhaps his mood had changed. He seemed to remember that when he first arrived at this hotel, perhaps Rock Well and his wife really wanted to welcome him.

But at that time, he was sensitive and weak, and he couldn't distinguish between monsters and reality. He could only curl himself up like a hedgehog, rejecting others and himself.

He didn't know if their relationship would improve in the future, but he seemed to have suddenly gained confidence in his heart, and he wanted to take a step forward and try.

…

Of course, this was a story that would happen in the future. Now, under Nainai's persuasion, Iulio was temporarily relieved. He finally felt sleepy, so he staggered back.

He closed his eyes. After two seconds, Iulio suddenly jumped up and looked around.
