After returning the names to their owners, Natsume returned home with several thoughts in her mind.
Dining on Touko-san's delicious food and taking a relaxing bath, Nyx came in beside him. He almost became a sage and "ascended" to the seventh heaven because of how concentrated he was, everything they had done so far was nothing but making out, he didn't want to get an erection right there.
Even if he didn't talk to her about what had happened, Nyx seemed to know everything and maybe she wanted to cheer him up...
The next day.
Natsume was going again to the Tsuyukami shrine carrying two chocolate cupcakes as offerings.
He was walking quietly beside Nyanko-sensei one late afternoon, "That Youkai, Susugi walked through the shadows to go to the village ... and in exchange for leftover food, he would wash the dishes in the houses."
"'So, you did some research. "'' Nyanko-sensei said.
"'On those days, the town is even brighter at night, so we may not see him anymore.' Natsume said.
"'He has friends in the mountains. I'm sure he's happy to cut ties with the humans.''
"'Is he? If that's it, then fine.'' Natsume replied.
. . .
A few more minutes of walking, they finally reached the shrine of the Dew/Tsuyukami God.
Seeing him nowhere to be seen, Natsume called out to him, "I brought some dumplings, Tsuyukami."
Seeing him nowhere to be seen, Natsume called out to him again, "Tsuyukami?"
"I am here, Natsume-dono." Tsuyukami replied.
Looking closely, Natsume saw Tsuyukami who was waving his hand at him, while he had shrunk again, his size being smaller than a body standing there.
"You have shrunk again." said Natsume.
"Well, yes." Answered Tsuyukami as if it was nothing.
Suddenly ... Tsuyukami began to glow ...
Dropping the bag on the ground, Natsume quickly asked, "You're glowing, what happened?"
"Well, Hana-san is gone." Answered Tsuyukami with an immense sadness in his voice.
"Eh?".
"Hana-san was sick for a while and gave it her all to come here lately." Said Tsuyukami as he continued, "She was the last human to worship me. So once she dies, I will disappear.''
"I will.-
"You can't. You are my friend, Natsume-dono. All right, then I can go with Hana-san.'' Said Tsuyukami, how could he ask a friend to worship him?
Extending his hand, Tsuyukami held Natsume's finger due to his current size.
''I've never... I've never done anything but watch her. But now ... Now, I feel that I will be able to touch her.'' {Tsuyukami. }
"She heard you, Tsuyukami ... she heard your voice." {Natsume .}
''Thank you, Natsume-dono. Humans were such lovely creatures in the past, and they remain so to this day."
Tsuyukami's voice began to grow weaker and weaker, to the point where it disappeared completely.
Natsume's only reaction was to stand there looking at where Tsuyukami had disappeared to while he was lost in his thoughts.
I wonder if the Necromancers have any ability to bring the dead back to life ... I don't want to turn them into skeletons, but to revive someone as a skeleton, but completely." Natsume thought. If it wasn't for the 'Player's Mind' calming him down and not killing his feelings, he really would be crying like a child right now.
' ... Or is there some other ability that can revive someone? ... or an item?'' Natsume wasn't going to give up his thoughts of reviving this someone so soon, but there was just one problem, how could he revive someone who died years ago and a Youkai?
. . .
It had been a few days since Tsuyukami passed away, and since then Natsume had been focusing on spending a lot of time in the high dungeons to further increase his high.
In class, Natsume was bored as usual, even though he wasn't paying attention in class, he always ended up getting the highest grades.
What Natsume had learned in his past life was that you didn't have to be smart or a genius to pass a class, you just had to memorize everything, it was as simple as that.
'This is very boring... I don't even get INT points, ... status.' He thought.
Then his status screen appeared in front of him.

Natsume was satisfied with most of his skills from what he knew so far, he would still gain a few more skills before maxing out another class.
From what Nyx told him, the [Necromancer] class was the start, and he had the Arc Lich which would be a class advancement.
Something that Natsume was realizing was that he had a higher chance that items related to his [Class] would come, even if it wasn't one hundred percent, it was still what came and his dungeon keys mostly and more.
Of those [Class] items, he had gotten the [Book of the Dead].
[Book of the Dead].
Classification: Unique.
Only a Necromancer can use the Book of the Dead.
The dead, sealed in the Book of the Dead, can display even more power with the power of Osiris.
Effect: This book contains the power of Osiris. It can seal the dead.
It increases the damage and defense of the dead by 30%.

Yawning, Natsume was accompanied by Nyx lying on his head and Nyanko-sensei at his side while carrying a bag with several chocolate cupcakes inside.
Money wasn't much of a problem for him now, not that he had that much expense to begin with.
Passing next to an empty shrine, Natsume stopped right in front of him and left two cupcakes as an offer, "Hey! what are you doing! What a waste!''
''Don't speak what might cause us a curse.'' Natsume replied.
"'There's nothing here!'' Nyanko-sensei replied
''Not today, but tomorrow there might be.'' Natsume said.
Taking one of the dumplings, Nyanko-sensei started to devour it, when he started to hear him chewing on the dumpling.
"Hey, you stupid cat! What are you doing!". exclaimed Natsume as he saw him eating the gift cookie.
"Here's to you and the 'lucky cat', you idiot!'' Nyanko-sensei replied to him while striking a strange pose.
Quickly picking up the bag with the dumplings, Nyanko-sensei ran in the opposite direction from Natsume.
Stopping, he looked at Natsume debauchedly and said, "Miau."
"Miau what? Said Natsume wanting to punch him for some reason, ''Give those cookies back!
''Hey, wait, you cookie thief!''
Running after him Nyanko-sensei got ahead of him and ran away.
"Meow." He said as he took a small leap in the air, "They are mine."
"I'm the one who bought them. Wait!'' Complained Natsume going after him.
''No way, Miau! ... Miau!''
End****
