My Mom Sandy Love Song

Rhodes and Qingzi looked at her and spoke at the same time.

"Wait...just wait, okay? Time travel...if it's the number one magic, it's definitely possible to do that kind of thing.

I will work hard, I will work hard to become able to use the first method...so...don't go, Mr. Luode. "

"Well... let's run away together, the three of us."

Qingzi's emotions also became a little agitated, and he tightly grasped his wrist.

"But, I don't want Youzhu to bear that kind of karma either." Rhodes smiled and brushed their hair.

"..."

Kuonji Youzhu pursed her lips and squatted on the ground.

Aoko Aozaki turned his gaze away.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Qingzi and Youzhu stayed where they were, and after Rhodes patted their shoulders, he walked into the cave with a calm expression.

……

……

……

After Rhodes entered the cave, a gray cat emerged from the grass and came to Qingzi's feet.

Behind this cat, five or six younger cats followed, all of which came out of the grass.

"……what!?"

Qingzi was taken aback and hugged the coquettish gray cat at his feet.

"...Are you still alive!"

It's not unreasonable for her to say this. This cat looks very old, with sparse and dry fur, blurred eyes, and even walking is very difficult.

The old cat raised its head and meowed at Qingzi.

"Really, did you notice me coming? It's amazing! These are your children following me?"

Qingzi squatted down and stroked the other cats around her.

"Ah~ so cute~~~~"

"Qingzi, what are these?"

"It's the cat I raised in my old home when I was a child."

Qingzi said excitedly: "When I left home to study middle school in Misaki City, I ran away from home. I thought it was stolen by someone. So you have been living in the forest where your grandfather lived?"

"...What a surprise, I really can't imagine Qingzi keeping pets."

Youzhu said lightly, her expression seemed to say that you can't even support yourself, so how can you keep a cat?

"How rude! Don't look at me like this, I not only raised cats, but also took care of the rabbits in the class when I was in junior high school."

Qingzi said while stroking the cat, "Look how clingy this kid is to me."

"Hmm... But it looks like a very old cat."

Youzhu silently watched the cat in Qingzi's arms and sighed.

She is really too old, to the extent that she might be regarded as a cat demon in ancient times.

No matter how you look at it, there's no way this very old cat will survive this winter.

"No way, this cat will live a very long life... After all, it is the cat that my grandfather resurrected with magic."

Qingzi said lightly what made Youzhu dumbfounded.

"Hey... what did you say? Magic?"

"Ah, it's a long story..."

Qingzi scratched his hair and said, "Actually, this cat was already dead, and I asked my grandfather to revive it with magic when I was a child.

That was also the first time I personally encountered my grandfather using magic. Thinking about it carefully, I must have become attached to magic at that time.

In fact, that seemed to be the last time Grandfather used magic, and it didn't take long for him to lose his magician heritage. "

"Wait, Qingzi...you saw magic when you were a child?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Qingzi frowned, her thoughts were driven by Youzhu back to the morning 13 years ago.

"Speaking of which, the first time I met that red shadow was with my grandfather."

"The red shadow...is the one you mentioned that comes to mess with you whenever you try to use magic—the little shadow in the red cloak?"

Qingzi nodded: "Well, that is a monster that hunts humans who breed magic as prey...

Every time I saw that, my body and mind became immobile, and as a result, I couldn't cast the magic properly. "

However, this time I will be able to succeed.

With Rhodes by his side, there is absolutely no problem.

Even if it was for him, he had to reach the realm of magic.

Qingzi tilted his head and said: "Now that I said it, I remembered that when I saw Hongying when I was a child, it was still very gentle to me."

"very gentle?"

"That's right. Hong Ying even chatted with me when I was a child."

Why did she forget such an important memory... the girl thought to herself.

"After my grandfather successfully resurrected the cat, Hong Ying even gave it a rustic and strange name."

Qingzi stroked the gray cat's head, and smiled and read its name.

"Is that so, Sojuro?"

---------------

PS. Explain to readers who may not understand.

In Chapter 1 of "Magic Night", Qingzi once asked his grandfather to rescue a dying kitten.

Although the grandfather used magic, it failed unexpectedly, and the kitten died.

From then on, Qingzi made up her mind to become a magician.

This obscure story is the beginning of the entire "Magic Night", and it is also the most important foreshadowing.

It was "the first encounter, the day I met them."

Therefore, there is a speculation that the magic did not fail, and the hero Sojuro of Moye is actually the soul of the rescued kitten.

Therefore, in this book, "Red Shadow" will name the rescued kitten Sojuro.

132 Nothing Happened, Entering the Field

That winter 13 years ago.

That happened on the solemn morning when Qingzi first came into contact with life.

The temperature in winter in the mountains is very low, and the morning is always terribly cold.

Although her father would take her to the station in a car, the old-fashioned car had to start the engine 10 minutes before going out, otherwise it would not be able to drive.

"Can you help me start the car?"

It was Aoko's daily job to start the engine while his father was enjoying his after-dinner coffee.

Walking outside, breathing through the yard, she opened the door of the classic car.

Insert the key and turn it around as usual,

The engine roared to life.

Just when I finished this job that I had repeated dozens of times and made my young self proud.

"■■■■———"

A sharp scream sounded from inside the hood.

After a few minutes.

The father opened the hood of the car and saw a small life in it.

Creaky tires, monster engine, these things stuff the whole box to the brim.

And the cat that looked like the mother, and the two kittens, looked so out of place.

Three cats huddled together in the engine room as if they were cuddling each other.

The female cat has no part above the neck.

One kitten, largely entangled in the tire, remained motionless and died instantly.

Half of the remaining kitten's face was covered in blood, panting like a dog soaked by rain.

The half-dead kitten desperately wanted to get close to the mother cat's corpse, and with only a few minutes of life left, it desperately burrowed into the mother's arms.

"very pitiful--"

Father seemed to be lamenting them.

The temperature dropped sharply last night.

The cats were attracted by the engine heat and hid under the hood of the car after their father returned from the car.

They spent the night in the engine room, only to wake up the next morning when they got caught in the tires.

This seems to happen a lot with poorly airtight 80s sedans.

The kitten has a fluffy gray fur.

On it was the blood of his mother and brother, as well as his own blood that had been cut off in half, and the half-exposed skull.

I don't know if it's because he can't see anymore, but the kitten was trembling as he desperately got into the arms of his dead mother.
