Young Days

The summer has arrived for Natsume and his friends in the school. After the exams, Natsume, Sasada, Nishimura and Kitamoto went to an art museum as outing. Upon his return to this house, Tohko san reminisced about her childhood days, which Natsume was envious about as he does not have a good childhood. The story then was told by a youkai on a tree that Natsume met when he was still young. The youkai found it bored that no human can see it, but it suddenly remembered about Natsume and how they met. It often scares young Natsume because Natsume can see it. Both of them parted ways in an awkward manner. The story then goes back to Natsume's point of view. After the trip to the art museum, Natsume made a trip to the tree to visit the youkai (detour). The youkai was glad that Natsume met some kind people as he is able to smile gently now. The episode ended with Natsume's thoughts, "If there is somebody that you wish to meet, then you are not alone anymore."
