Plot[]


Natsume meets a green-glowing spirit who used to be friends with a man who could also see spirits. But one day, that man lost his innate spiritual ability. This event resulted with the spirit distrusting humans.

Natsume is walking by a lake with Madara when he sees a middle-aged man sitting on the banks of the lake. The man asks Natsume if he is here to see the fireflies and Natsume replies yes. He tells Natsume that he is a bit too early in time and season, the fireflies' numbers were dwindling. Natsume nods in understanding and leaves but not before noticing a youkai behind the man.

Trivia[]

  • It is revealed that for certain humans capable of perceiving and combating spirits may or not lose their abilities upon adulthood. However, for some whose innate spiritual affinity and prowess is immense and unique such as Takashi Natsume's, that may not be the case for him as it was not for Reiko Natsume.
