I hadn’t watched Mushishi in a year or two. Today I came across its theatrical film, Bell Droplets, and after watching it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a long time. This gentle, warm tone has always been one of my favorites, just like Natsume’s Book of Friends. Suddenly, I really wanted these two similarly lovable people to meet. Surely they’d have a beautiful, unforgettable story together. This is purely a personal musing and an outpouring of emotion. Please forgive any shortcomings. (The title doesn’t really have anything to do with the content. You could say it was the source of inspiration.)

Quite a few people seem to have asked me to keep writing. As it happens, I’ve started rewatching Natsume’s Book of Friends again lately. This gentle feeling is truly hard to resist. So I’ve decided to write a crossover between Natsume and Mushishi. Since it’s made up of little short stories, it might seem a bit disjointed at first, but later they’ll come together into a single thread. You can also read each story on its own. Thank you for enjoying it.
Theme: The warmth we pass on is mutual.
I still have to say it out. You have a big responsibility. You listen to me. You have to prepare a few more chapters to save the manuscript. The manuscript needs to prepare 24 or even 30 chapters. If a book friend says that I really like reading this novel and I have to read it three times, tell me what you will do? Now it's not a question of whether anyone will come to watch it, but the reaction of book friends. Did you know that I've been scrolling around today and not a single book friend has said to me, "I've had enough of it." They all mean that they haven't seen enough yet. You Zhang Jie is very good-looking, but we've seen it, but it's not enough, it's not enough. If you do this, you must write twenty-four chapters for me tomorrow. I don't care how many ideas you have, just listen to me! All written! All written! I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I suggest you still listen to me, one person has the final say, this matter does not need to be discussed, listen to me, no matter how complicated I, Yingu, feel when I see your new trap, you still listen to me. Write it all, write it all, don't fish!!!
Huh! So in this hybrid world, will insects have the same communication abilities as monsters, or will monsters have the characteristics of insects? Also, when I memorized Natsume in the previous chapter, I also carried the insect box on my back. Isn't this a bit too technical? When I saw Natsume's insect repellent in big letters, I only had the three words "child bride" left in my mind. I think it's better not to have the same brain circuit as me 2333, so I'd better update it!
Great, update! Mr. Wen from Yingu, please don't cheat me!
