i love natsume so much. the chukyuus are like oh the scarecrows are coming down from the mountains because the harvest is over and they're not needed anymore and natsume very earnestly thinks to himself, no, that can't be it. scarecrows don't move like that. this is the inner voice of a boy who probably had to memorize an entire encyclopedia to keep track of how things are "supposed" to work so he can call on that knowledge bank to help him detect when something is a youkai. he's like no hang on, i read up on scarecrows one time five years ago and they're definitely stationary. i feel like it would have come up before if they had locomotion capabilities. 95% sure something is afoot.
