Chapter 1920, Natsume's Book of Friends, tells a story filled with tenderness.

The Master of the Long Rainbow Sword: "I know Black Heart Tiger, he's the leader of the Demonic Sect, but who is Amu of the Heavenly Wolf Sect?"

The Master of the Long Rainbow Sword: "And what is the Phoenix Martial Arts School? I've never heard of it."

Rainbow Cat looked at Su Yunqing's words with a puzzled expression.

He roughly understood what "timeline" meant; it was the time he was currently in. He also knew about Blackheart Tiger, but what about the Sky Wolf Sect, Amu, and Phoenix Martial Arts School?

Is this something he will encounter in the future?

An ordinary group owner: "I don't know about Tianlangmen and Amu, so is this the Black Heart Tiger timeline?"

An ordinary group admin: "Is your dad, White Cat, still alive?"

Su Yunqing looked at Hongmao's words and asked.

If the white cat hasn't died yet from using the Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique, then it's a timeline where the story hasn't started yet; if it has, then we'll have to see which of the Seven Sword Masters we find to determine the timeline.

The Master of the Rainbow Sword: "!!!"

When Rainbow Cat saw Su Yunqing's words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His breath hitched, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Is his father still alive?
The group admin wouldn't ask this question without a reason, meaning...
Future Daddy will.
His voice became somewhat hurried because of his urgency:

The Sword Master of the Rainbow Sword: "My father is perfectly fine!"

The Master of the Long Rainbow Sword: "May I ask, group leader, what do you mean by that? Could it be... could it be that in the future..."

He didn't even dare to voice his guess.

An ordinary group owner: "Living, that's the timeline before the story begins."

The ordinary group owner said: "It's nothing. Soon Black Heart Tiger will come to steal the Qilin. Then, in order to stop Black Heart Tiger, your father White Cat will give you the Rainbow Sword and let you take the Qilin and go find the other Seven Swordsmen, while he stays behind to fight Black Heart Tiger."

An ordinary group owner said: "However, since his Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique had not reached the tenth level, he was unable to control it freely. Although he severely injured Black Heart Tiger, he also died."

Su Yunqing didn't express deep emotion when she said this.

After all, the story hasn't even started yet. Rainbow Cat, who has joined the chat group and knows about the future, can also prevent White Cat's death. Moreover, even if White Cat dies, Rainbow Cat, who has joined the chat group, may still be able to revive White Cat in the future.

Having witnessed Bai Xuan reverse time so many times, returning everything to its original state, Su Yunqing no longer feels anything about death.

Therefore, there was no heavy feeling when talking about this.

But for Rainbow Cat, this undoubtedly confirmed his worst suspicions.

"Seize the Qilin." "Here's the Rainbow Sword." "Stay behind yourself." "Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique." "Dead."

These fragments of words echoed wildly in Rainbow Cat's mind, forming a picture.

The demonic cult launched a massive attack. Father handed him the Rainbow Sword. His eyes, usually gentle yet stern, were filled with determination and reluctance. He faced the surging demonic army alone and unleashed the Fire Dance Whirlwind technique in the end.
No! Impossible! This can't be true!

Rainbow Cat's consciousness began to vibrate violently, even affecting his physical body in the outside world.

A heart-wrenching pain and immense panic gripped his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Father will die? To protect him, to protect the Qilin, and to fight against the Black-Hearted Tiger?

How could this be? Father is so strong! He's the leader of the Seven Swords, one of the most powerful heroes in the world! How could he possibly...?
However, the group leader's words were so true; Father had indeed mentioned the power and danger of the Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique.

Overwhelmed with grief and disbelief, Rainbow Cat was speechless for a moment, simply staring blankly at the chat group interface.

His silence and the intense emotional fluctuations that could be vaguely sensed even across the world made the others in the chat group feel something was off.

Turning Daigo into soup: "Um, @Changhong Sword Master, although this is indeed a sad thing, everything hasn't even started yet."

Boil Daigo into soup: "There's no need to be sad, is there?"

Boil Daigo into soup: "Knowing the future, you could have left with your father and that Qilin before Black Tiger arrived."

Daigo could sense Rainbow Cat's emotions, but nothing had happened yet, so it wasn't time to be sentimental.

It's entirely possible to stop it before it happens.

When Rainbow Cat saw Daigo's words, his eyes lit up and a strong sense of hope welled up in his heart!

Yes! The future can be changed!
He was so stunned by the devastating news that his father might sacrifice himself that he was overwhelmed by grief and helplessness, and forgot about this most important point.

Now that he knew in advance about the danger and that Black-Hearted Tiger would come to steal the Qilin, he could prepare accordingly.

Take your father and the little Qilin and leave this place to avoid this disaster!

Or contact the other six swordsmen in advance, gather the seven swords, and fight the enemy together!
Thinking of this, Rainbow Cat's heart began to race involuntarily, and an urgent desire to act replaced his previous sadness.

He almost immediately left the chat group to discuss a solution with his father.

The Master of the Rainbow Sword: "Thank you for your guidance. I was in such a hurry that I forgot this most crucial point!"

The Master of the Rainbow Sword: "There's no time to lose. I'll go explain this to my father right away and make preparations as soon as possible!"

Rainbow Cat then prepared to log off.

But at that moment, Su Yunqing spoke up to stop him.

An ordinary group owner: "Wait, @Changhongjianzhu, don't rush."

An ordinary group owner: "At least finish reading the memory copy first."

The ordinary group owner said, "It's not too late to discuss this with your father after we know what will happen in the future."

Rainbow Cat was taken aback by Su Yunqing's words.

He did want to know about the future, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. Didn't the group owner expect him to give something in return?

Is she so quick to tell him about the future?
The master of the Long Rainbow Sword: "I do need to know the details of what will happen in the future."

Changhong Sword Master: "However, the group owner is just telling me such important information about the future for free. I wonder what price I should pay?"

Rainbow Cat hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

He was taught by his father that he should repay kindness and that cause and effect should be repaid.

He felt uneasy accepting such a great favor without knowing why.

Seeing Rainbow Cat's question, Su Yunqing was somewhat surprised, but then felt relieved.

As expected of Rainbow Cat, her favorite hero in her past life, even before the story began and before she had experienced those things, he was still kind and steady, and did not lose his composure because of a sudden adventure or concern for his family.

but.
An ordinary group owner: "A price? No price is required."

An ordinary group owner: "Don't overthink it. What I'm sharing are just some 'stories' I've seen in my own world."

An ordinary group owner: "For me, this is not something that requires a huge price to obtain."

An ordinary group admin said: "Besides, I am the group admin of this chat group. Knowing that everyone may encounter difficulties in the future, it's only natural to share information in advance and see if I can help."

Su Yunqing's words were light and frank, carrying a pure sense of goodwill.

As for the price, she's no longer the ordinary person she was at the beginning; she's already a powerful expert at the Star-level or even the Wood-level.

They are not lacking in the ability to earn points.

Why would you use these "plots" in your mind to gain personal benefits?
Moreover, Rainbow Cat's world is just a slightly more powerful martial arts world. Although it has mythical beasts and can fly on swords, it does not exceed the scope of the martial arts world.

Even if it's just to satisfy her collecting desires, she can buy the "Seven Swords" herself in the store, so there's really nothing that Rainbow Cat needs to pay.

Rainbow Cat, upon hearing her words, was momentarily at a loss for words.

In his father's teachings, he believed that social interactions and exchanges of interests were the norm in the martial arts world. Even when it came to chivalry, it was mostly driven by a chivalrous heart that would "draw his sword to help those in need." Few people would give important information to a complete stranger without reservation or expectation of reward.

After a moment of silence, Rainbow Cat expressed his heartfelt respect for Su Yunqing.

The Master of the Rainbow Sword: "The group leader is noble and magnanimous, truly possessing the spirit of ancient sages."

The master of the Rainbow Sword: "Rainbow Cat will remember this kindness; if you ever need anything in the future, as long as it does not violate the code of chivalry, Rainbow Cat will do everything in its power!"

This was his promise, and also his chivalry.

Even if the other party doesn't ask for anything in return, he can't just accept it without question.

Although with his abilities, he probably couldn't repay the group owner in any way.

An ordinary group admin: "Alright, alright, don't be so serious."

An ordinary group owner: "Let's look at the memory copy first."

"Ding, the group owner has uploaded a memory copy."

Su Yunqing uploaded the plot of "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes", and Rainbow Cat clicked on it immediately.

The chat group returned to calm.

Those who have finished watching the "Nobita Nobi" world memory instance have also started watching the Rainbow Cat world memory instance.

Su Yunqing's gaze fell on the last name of the newcomer who had not yet spoken—Natsume Takashi.

Takashi Natsume, a boy who can see spirits.

The story he was in was one of the most heartwarming anime that Su Yunqing had ever watched.

The story tells of how Takashi Natsume inherits the "Book of Friends," a collection of contracts made from the belongings of his grandmother, Reiko Natsume, and decides to return the names of the spirits in the Book of Friends one by one.

Takashi Natsume was born with powerful spiritual abilities, allowing him to see the existence of yokai and gods.

Because his parents died, he was constantly moved between relatives who shirked responsibility and was bullied by his peers; at the same time, due to his abilities, he never made deep friendships with anyone, which led to his withdrawn personality.

He is kind-hearted, generous, and down-to-earth.

She never complained about her misfortune, whether to humans or monsters; after being adopted by the Fujiwara couple and entering high school, her life gradually became more stable and warm.

While being chased by a monster, he ran to a nearby shrine, where he accidentally broke the seal of Mr. Madara, a monster who had the appearance of a lucky cat and the body of a fox.
In order to escape the pursuit of the yokai and to understand his grandmother, Natsume Takashi made a promise with Madara: Madara would help Natsume return the names in the Book of Friends to the yokai. However, after Natsume Takashi died, the Book of Friends went to Madara, and so Natsume began his journey of returning the names to the yokai.

The story is extremely tender, depicting the various unpleasant separations and disappointments in the human world, which are even more separated by mountains and seas between humans and demons.

Humans' short lifespan of a few decades is but a fleeting moment for the invisible and infinite demons, like blooming in the morning and withering in the evening.

The deeper the bond between the demon and Natsume, the more the sorrow of impermanent separation is revealed in their everyday laughter and joy.

The separation between time and death is the first layer of tragedy in Natsume's story.

Those who had seen Natsume's grandmother and were taken into her tent were unaware that the girl had long since turned to ashes.

The lament over the "fleeting" nature of life is amplified by the difference in lifespan between humans and transgender people.

When talking about Natsume's Book of Friends, one cannot help but mention its author, Yuki Midorikawa.

Su Yunqing had seen a poem describing her in her previous life:
"Yuki Midorikawa is the summer tide; Yuki Midorikawa is the endless grassland of summer; Yuki Midorikawa is the summer rain tapping on the windowpane."

Yuki Midorikawa's melancholy is like a guitar echoing from the depths of the city; her tranquility is like a tail swaying in a clear stream; her simplicity is like children playing with fairies; her happiness is like thunder rumbling across the rooftops, gently humming a fairy tale through her grandmother's palm-leaf fan.

She uses stories of monsters to evoke a sense of incurable sorrow in her readers.

In fact, she did just that.

In the world of "Natsume's Book of Friends," there is a mansion called the Fujiwara family's residence.

The night was deep, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

A boy with light brown hair and a gentle, refined appearance was sitting at his desk, with his workbooks spread out on the table. However, his gaze was somewhat unfocused, occasionally glancing at the strange, faint shadows that were invisible to ordinary people in the courtyard outside the window.

Takashi Natsume, a boy who can see spirits.

At this moment, he was trying to concentrate on finishing his homework, attempting to ignore the little monster outside the window that kept making faces at him.

However, the information in his mind always made him wonder if it was related to that little monster.

But, that shouldn't be possible.

"Even monsters probably couldn't connect chat groups between different worlds."

Natsume thought to himself.

Although he doesn't understand the extent of the monsters' power, in his view, if they could truly achieve what the chat group had instilled in him, then they wouldn't be monsters, but omnipotent gods.

"Natsume! The food's getting cold!"

Aunt Tazi's gentle voice called from downstairs.

"Yes! Coming right away!"

Natsume hurriedly responded, suppressing the strange feeling in his mind for the time being; whatever it was, he didn't want to worry Aunt Touko and the others.

After dinner, Natsume helped clean up the kitchen and then returned to his room.

A chubby lucky cat was lying sprawled out in the middle of his bed, purring loudly, with several empty snack boxes beside it.

"Nyanko-sensei, you stole my snacks again!"

Natsume sighed helplessly.

"Hmph, a mere snack. *burp*"

The cat teacher rolled over, revealing her round belly.

Natsume shook his head and sat back down at his desk.

He focused his mind again, and sure enough, the strange, semi-transparent interface reappeared, with constantly scrolling text on it.

He saw the names "Nobita" and "Changhong Sword Master", saw their conversation, and also saw the so-called "memory copy" uploaded by the group owner "Ordinary Group Owner".

"People from other worlds?"
