It's really sad to see Natsume 'blind'. Well, not real blind but blind as in he can't see youkai. Thank goodness it was only for a little while.I love how they show an 'invisible' Nyanko-sensei carries Natsume on his back and into the circle. The animation is nicely done.I also love the bonding between Natsume and Nyanko-sensei. Though caring words are hardly exchanged, their actions show that they care a lot for each other. I especially love the way Nyanko-sensei, in his original form, takes care of Natsume after they defeat the terrifying youkai. It's really sweet. (*^.^)SummaryNatsume is in a dark cave. Alongside him is the terrifying youkai. It expresses its hatred for humans, especially those who can see it, and threatens to kill Natsume. It then licks Natsume's face. Natsume fractically gives it a punch and manages to escape.A worried Nyanko-sensei, along with Taki and mustached youkai, is searching frantically around the forest for Natsume. Suddenly, Natsume runs out from nowhere, trips over Nyanko-sensei and the both of them fell over a cliff. Thank goodness, it's not a fatal fall. After that, Nyanko-sensei interogates Natsume about where he went. Natsume tells them everything. While talking, Natsume realizes that he can only hear the voice of the mustached youkai but can't see him. It seems like the lick from the terrifying youkai has caused Natsume to be 'blind'.The next morning, while brushing his teeth, Natsume realizes that he can only see youkai if they are reflected on a mirror or glass. He also notices some writings on Nyanko-sensei's back. The writings are similar to those on his chest. It seems like Taki has accidentally blurted out Nyanko-sensei's 'name'. Though it's not the real name, Nyanko-sensei is also cursed by the terrifying youkai.Natsume and Nyanko-sensei meet up with Taki and they discuss about how to deal with the terrifying youkai. Nyanko-sensei brings out an evil-sealing mirror, which he has borrowed from his drinking buddies. To use the mirror, a human has to hold it and recite the sealing chant, while the youkai's eyes are reflected in the mirror.Suddenly, like a ball, Nyanko-sensei is kicked aside, and the terrifying youkai appears out of nowhere and tries to attack Natsume and Taki. Natsume tries to protect Taki but a rope is tied to his neck and he can hardly move. Taki runs towards one of her circles and manages to make the terrifying youkai enter the circle but it catches hold of her. Meanwhile, Natsume is still struggling to break free from the rope. All of a sudden, the rope breaks and Natsume is floating in the air. Actually, it's Nyanko-sensei but Natsume still can't see him in his original form. Nyanko-sensei carries Natsume into the circle and Nyanko-sensei bites the terrifying youkai while Natsume recites the sealing chant. With that, the terrifying youkai is defeated and after that Natsume and Taki collapse from exhaustion.After the incident, the terrifying youkai's poison keeps Natsume in bed for a while, but it isn't long before he can 'see' again. He realizes that during the short period of time he couldn't see Nyanko-sensei, he actually felt a little lonely. Of course, Natsume is not telling Nyanko-sensei about it.PicturesYuck!! How can that youkai lick Natsume?!Poor Nyanko-sensei! Haha..Natsume realizes he can hear but not see youkai.Natsume can't see the original form of Nyanko-sensei too.Taki: 'I want to cuddle him, rub my cheek against his, smell him and take a nap with him.. but I can't!! He's just too adorable.' LOLEvil-sealing mirror!Yea!! The terrifying youkai is finally defeated!Aww... So so sweet....
