01
Y- Okay, let’s take a look…
Y- Crap, no matter how many times I look it makes me laugh
Y- A spectacular fail
h/w- Ha ha ha…
Y- I wonder if mum will be pissed
Y- I’ll think of an excuse at the shrine before I go home…
Natsume Yuujinchou
Special Arc 9 The Natsume Book of Observations 5

02
Y- Ah
Y- This is that transfer student…
N- I’m Natsume Takashi, nice to meet you
Y- The rumour has it he’s passed around between his relatives
Y- It seems this time around he’s staying with a couple who reek of alcohol in a decrepit apartment
Y- ‘His words are few even when you speak to him’, the girls in class have been whispering
Y- ‘He’s quiet, and the way he skilfully dodges you when you try and get him to talk, he must be used to being interrogated. A cool guy’

03
Y- I wonder why he’s sleeping in a place like this
Y- His eyelashes are really long…
Y- Ah
N- …Ah
N- Waaah!
Y- Eeek!?
Y- Ah?
Y- …Wha
Y- What the hell!?

04
Y- He kicked me, a girl, away, and then ran!?
h/w- What the hell is with him - !?
Y- Just what part of that was cool and quiet?
YM- Hey Yuriko, what’s the new transfer student like?
Y- What? …cool and quiet
YM- …Really? According to the rumours, when he was little he had a violent disposition
YM- They also say his suspicious behaviour occasionally injured the children around him
YM- You shouldn’t get too close to that boy, alright?
YM- My heart would stop if something were to happen to you, Yuri-chan
Y- …okay
Y- A violent disposition?
Y- His behaviour was certainly suspicious, but…

05
Y- Natsume-kun
Y- You’ve got some nerve, the way you attacked me yesterday
N- …Who’re you?
Y- I’m Ogata Yuriko, from your class!! Did you forget the face of the girl you kicked at the shrine yesterday!?
N- …shrine…

06
Y- Huh? …For a second, his face went pale…
N- …oh, that was you huh, I was having a nightmare
N- When I opened my eyes, I thought there was a monster or something there…
Y- Hold on, do I look like a monster to you!?
N- Haha
N- That’s right, I was still out of it, I’m sorry
N- Sorry
Y- Ah
Y- Hey… why don’t you cut your fringe?
Y- He has a gentle smile
Y- He should show it more often…
N- What… yeah, I was thinking about cutting it soon
Y- Hm?

07
Y- …You don’t mean by yourself?
Y- Why don’t you just ask for money to go to the salon…?
Y- Eh?
N- Ah…
N- …Sorry
Y- He was probably gonna say
Y- ‘Do you think I can just ask for money for a salon?’
Y- I think I said something insensitive
Y- I wonder if I’ll get the chance to apologise…

08
Y- He’s always alone and it’s kinda hard to approach him
Y- But I noticed something by watching him
Y- Natsume is defiantly kind of strange
Y- He suddenly starts running
Y- He trips when there’s nothing there…
N- Go away!
N- Leave me alone
N- Just disappear!
Y- …It’s almost as though he’s chasing something away…
N- ‘A monster or something’

09
Y- Is it possible he can see something?
Y- Now I think about it, when he screamed at the shrine that time, his eye line was kind of behind me
Y- Is it possible Natsume-kun saw something behind me…?
Y- And he pushed me away from it…
Y- Imagining stud like that!! What am I thinking!?
U- Ah, it’s raining
Y- Eh?
Y- Ah, I forgot my umbrella
Y- What on earth
Y- Am I doing…?
h/w- Sigh…

10
N- Wanna come in?
Y- I’m sorry about before
N- …About what?
Y- …Natsume-kun
N- What?
Y- Can you…
Y- Can you see something?

11
Y- Even though I want to ask him
Y- I get the feeling that, if I do
Y- He’ll never talk to me again
Y- I was scared of that and I couldn’t ask him
YM- Hey
YM- Were you just sharing an umbrella with that boy, Yuri-chan!?
YM- Didn’t I say not to get close to him!?
Y- …mum…
Y- Thanks mum, but
Y- Natsume ignored my heartless words
Y- And let me share his umbrella
Y- He’s a nice guy, see?

12
Y- And then, just when I was able to talk to Natsume without it being awkward
h/w- Good morning –
h/w- …Morning
Y- An accident occurred
U- …what? I think I heard glass breaking over there…
Y- Ah…!? Natsume-kun…
Te- Hey, are you alright… Ah, Natsume
Te- Not you again
Y- …What?
U- You haven’t heard? Lately, windows have been getting smashed around campus
U- And they say Natsume is always there
Y- …what?

13
Te- …Again, Natsume?
Te- Did you break it?
Te- Come to the staff room… why are you doing this…?
Te- I know you’ve got it rough, but…
Y- Wha…
Y- Wai…
Y- Wait!
U- Yu, Yuriko!?
Y- But…
Y- Isn’t it weird, look, all the glass is on the inside
Y- The way it was broken is strange too, please look into it properly
Y- It wasn’t Natsume-kun
Y- its weird, isn’t it!?
Y- And anyway, there’s no way Natsume-kun would do something like…
N- Ogata

14
N- It’s alright, Ogata
N- Thankyou
Y- Ah, everyone
Y- Please look harder
Y- Can’t you see it?
Y- Look at Natsume-kun properly
U- …Wah, Yuriko!?
Y- Someone, please…

15
Y- And so, his guardians were called to school
Y- A tired looking woman who smelled of alcohol came and took him home
Y- I couldn’t see Natsume-kun’s face properly
Y- His transfer was decided, just like that
Y- I heard it would be a four person family next
Y- Because they said he would cause problems in an institution
Y- He was forced to continue his journey round and round
Y- I wonder if he will ever arrive
Y- Will he ever find a home he can return to…?
Y- …I see, so you’re leaving tomorrow
N- Yeah

16
N- …But wherever I go, I am hated
N- By people, and by them
Y- Eh?
N- But this place was a little fun
N- Goodbye
Y- If he keeps journeying around
Y- I wonder if he’ll come back here someday…
Y- That was Natsume and I’s meeting and parting
Y- I never saw him again, but…
Y- About a year ago
Y- A rumour reached me, which said he had been taken in by a kind couple, in a town far away
Y- And he was smiling happily
