[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

The iron pot was bubbling, steam was rising from the induction cooker, and the fresh, spicy aroma was wafting in the air.

Miki Fushiguro opened a small window in advance, purely for psychological comfort.

There is no way. The temperature has already risen to 6 degrees in June.

If there is no air conditioning in the room and you eat around a steaming iron pot, you might die of the heat.

Seeing Fushiguro Shier sweating from the spiciness while stuffing meat into his mouth, Huailiang couldn't help but say, "It is said that people who like spicy food have a certain degree of masochism."

"Oh?" Fushiguro Shige continued eating without even raising his eyes.

"In fact, the 'five tastes' we often talk about refer to sour, sweet, bitter, salty and umami. Spiciness is not a taste, it is a pain."

Huailiang began his speech with great interest, which was called "popular science" but was actually a joke. "Because peppers combine with receptor proteins, they will bring a feeling of "pain" to the brain, so the brain will activate the corresponding mechanism to relieve this "pain"——"

"That is, it will continuously release a substance called endorphins, which has an effect similar to morphine and is a natural analgesic that can bring people a sense of pleasure and relieve stress."

At this point, Huailiang paused and said meaningfully, "Shen Erjun should be very clear about how to obtain endorphins."

"Some people enjoy the pleasure brought by endorphins and become addicted, trying to get more endorphins by repeatedly experiencing pain."

Fushiguro Shigeki immediately understood that the other party was implicitly expressing that he was a pervert who sought pain.

"Rather than liking the pain, you're more like adapting to it?"

Fushiguro raised his eyebrows and pointed at the scar at the corner of his lips. "When I was six years old, I still hadn't awakened the technique, and even a trace of curse power couldn't be detected. I fell from the most popular Zen temple direct lineage to the mud."

"There are countless children from various branches of the Chanyuan family. I have been arrogant since I was a child and have strong physical skills, so naturally I have aroused the jealousy of many people..."

"So in the first month after the ritual test, I was taken to the Zenin family's forbidden room, which was used to punish clan members."

Huai Liang immediately shut up in dismay.

It was not her intention to hurt someone, and just as she was about to apologize, she heard the other person burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, those little brats, do you think they can kill me like this?"

Zen Yuan even revealed an arrogant and disdainful look, "Although without a curse tool, it is impossible to kill the endless curse spirits in the forbidden room..."

“But thanks to the rapid recovery ability brought by the Heaven and Curse Binding, they can’t do anything to me for the time being.”

A rare look of pity appeared on Fushiguro Megumi's face.

What I mean is, is it a good thing to be bitten and tortured by cursed spirits but unable to die?

I can only say that luckily I managed to survive with wounds all over my body.

He frowned, and his dislike for the Chanyuan family increased by another point.

Huai Liang was stunned when he heard this.

Although it was rare to hear him talk about his experiences at Zenyuan's house, this might mean that he had gradually let down his guard, which was naturally a good thing for her.

But is it really okay to talk about such a tragic past as if it were a joke?

How twisted is this guy's mind?

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang suddenly, interrupting Fushiguro Shige's memories.

Huailiang stood up and walked towards the entrance while muttering "I don't know who it is".

As soon as she opened the door and saw who was coming, she quickly closed the door behind her.

"How did you come?"

Gojo Satoru listened to the slightly stiff tone, and the corners of his lips that were originally raised high also flattened: "Why, you don't welcome me? I brought a gift."

Huai Liang obviously didn't buy it, and frowned slightly: "Didn't you agree to wait for me to contact you? It's not a holiday, what gift can you give me?"

This guy was just as she expected, not so easy to control. They had clearly agreed that their relationship needed to be kept secret for the time being, but he came to her so openly!

“Does it have to be a holiday to give gifts?”

Gojo Satoru was a little puzzled. He shrugged and said, "I wanted to give you a gift, so I gave it to you. If you have to find a reason..."

"Well, why not consider it as a gift for our third anniversary together."

Huai Liang: “…”

What the hell is this anniversary? How can there be such a sloppy anniversary?

Besides——

"Is there something wrong with your understanding? I told you to wait a few more months, until the end of summer—"

Huailiang felt it necessary to reiterate the conditions for wanting to be with her.

We have to list all the situations in points, otherwise this guy will cause a lot of trouble later.

Just as she was organizing her words and preparing to speak, Gojo Satoru pulled out a palm-sized box from behind him like a magic trick.

The blue eyes sparkled like a handful of diamonds: "Open it and take a look. I spent a long time choosing it."

Huai Liang pursed his lips and opened the box as he was told.

At the bottom of the black velvet box, a huge pigeon blood red ruby ​​lay quietly.

The gem was surrounded by a halo of dazzling diamonds - so bright that it almost dazzled her eyes.

"What does it mean?"

Huai Liang closed the box and said, "I gave you a wooden rabbit for New Year's Eve last year. This one this year... is it a little too expensive?"

"Whichever gift it was, I don't quite understand."

Gojo Satoru scratched his head and said, "I carved that rabbit with my own hands... I don't know why, but I felt like giving it to you, so I made it myself."

"Isn't it more precious than this ring that can be bought with just a little money?"

This is obviously a huge gem of top-grade pigeon blood red, worth at least hundreds of millions of yen. In his eyes, it is not as good as a crudely carved wooden rabbit?

For a moment, Huai Liang didn't know whether to complain about the other party's weird values, or to sort out the 'three rules' first.

Noticing the other party's hesitation, Gojo Satoru stuffed the box into her hand.

He skillfully used the rhetoric of 'If you don't want it, just throw it away' to block her refusal.

Huai Liang finally understood the mentality of those ordinary people who would go to hang out around rich areas on Valentine's Day.

If she wasn't short of money, she would have been corrupted by this "sugar-coated bullet".

"Okay, now that I've received the presents, can you let me in?"

Gojo Satoru peered behind Huailiang and said, "Just now I heard a lot of noise in there. I just exorcised a first-level cursed spirit. I'm so tired after my business trip. I haven't had time to eat yet..."

Seeing the other party's pitiful appearance, Huai Liang took a deep breath and slowly moved away: "This is just the first time, it won't happen again."

Yes! Gojo Satoru cheered in his heart, it was finally done.

However, he still looked obedient and followed Huai Liang into the house.
