[Spell Return] Beast of Despair

31.

—November 2018, Wakayama, Yae’s house—

In the almost wild laughter, there is a pale face and an almost dull expression, the anger hidden in the eyes is overwhelmed by embarrassment and humbleness, as if all arrogance has disappeared.

Looking at them, Yezhi wanted to laugh even more, he roared out laughter like a madman.

In their eyes before, what Ye Zhi saw was envy and jealousy.

This is normal.From the very beginning, he knew that these incompetent and ordinary elders lived in a different world from himself.They were also expected to become conjurers, but unfortunately all their expectations were in vain.

So they envy her because she is a genius with spells.So they also envy their children.Because these children who are related to them by blood can see the curse.

And they can't, they're just normal people.The Yae family, in the final analysis, is just a declining family of conjurers.It is a miracle that there are eight children who are gifted with spells in this generation.

Although up to now, there is only one magician left in the Yae family.

So it was a laugh.She felt that the appearance of these elders who could not see the curse when discussing the topic of cultivating conjurers was a manifestation of complete idiotic dreams.

Obviously they don't understand anything.

"You don't know what killed your child, and you didn't even think about taking revenge on that cursed spirit. You didn't even understand how the curse was born. You just blamed me. I don't think it's special. Is it funny? Why don't you laugh?"

Still no one laughed, only the forbearance of the corners of the mouth.Ye Zhi also suppressed his smile, narrowed his eyes, and slowly stood up.The tofu and kelp that fell on the skirt slid to the ground, and when they hit the ground, there was a particularly loud "pop".

This time, she stood more firmly than ever, as if the fake limb supporting half her body weight was her real leg.

"If you don't laugh, don't judge my actions, you bunch of waste who let negative emotions flow to others."

From "stupid pig" to "waste".Yes, there are actually very few words used to curse people, but such words are enough to anger the elders.They brought out etiquette and a lot of reasoning, accusing her of being rude.

While talking, he mentioned the Wutiao matter of the master's family.Of course, what they talked about was still the same as before, "The long-cherished wish of the ancestors is to let the expelled Yae family return to the main family Gojo".I am already tired of listening to it, so tired that I even feel bored.With nowhere to rest her eyes, she looked at her round nails.

She inexplicably thought that maybe she could get a manicure.

At this length, it will look good with nail polish.

"Haven't you all given birth to a child with a talent for spells? Wouldn't it be nice to have another one? This way the Yae family's spells can continue to be passed on! Isn't this what you want?"

She wanted to laugh again, especially when she saw their stiff, deflated expressions.

She knew they would retort.Before they could say anything, she gagged them again with sharp words:

"Obviously I don't know anything about the Yae family, but I still pretend to care about it, and say things like wanting to be recognized. It's really interesting to parrot. Whose ideals are you being poisoned by? Are you really serious? Do you really want to leave this island?"

No one answered, maybe they never knew the answers to these questions.And the old man who was the head of the family still sat at the dining table with his mouth open, just a mass of dead flesh breathing.

Yes, I don't want to say anything more.She thought that she should leave a little dignity to the elders.

Although most of their dignity has been shattered by her.

He bowed politely, picked up the old man's knife and crutches, and left here, walking all the way to the port on the coast.

If you hurry, you should be home before dark.On the way, you can go to the fast food restaurant near the station to buy something for dinner, or you can go to the convenience store downstairs to buy a glass of fruit wine.

Really want to drink now.Not in a bad mood, though—and not in a good mood, either.

She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment.

After waiting on the coast for a few minutes, the empty ship slowly came, which was the one she had come on.

The approach of the ship brought a particularly strong sea wind, which messed up Yezhi's short hair, but she didn't care.When someone's calling sounded behind her, she still didn't care.

She didn't have to react until her hands were tightly held.

"Yes..."

Running all the way, the panting father had to stop and rest for a while before he could continue talking.

"I don't care if you are a magician or not, and I don't think you have to defeat that curse spirit and avenge everyone. If you want to go back to Tokyo, I won't stop you. I just hope... I just hope, you can Come back to this house again."

His hands trembled.This man, who has always been gentle and ordinary in his 29 years of life, shed tears, and his trembling voice was like a humble pleading.

"Yes, you have to remember that you will always, always be my daughter. No matter what they say, no matter what you become, no matter what the future of the Yae family will be... I don't care about such things! Come back, I Daughter, you must come back."

Shizhi lowered his eyes, watching his father tightly holding his left hand—the left hand of the prosthesis.

She couldn't feel anything, she could barely feel her father's trembling with excitement, but it was only because the prosthesis started to tremble, pulling her nerves, and it unexpectedly hurt a little.

It is always a cold expression, without saying a word.The ship slowly arrived at the port, and the shadow it cast would cover it, but my father was still standing in the sun.

The sharp boundary between light and darkness happens to be in their overlapping palms.

"Please……"

She withdrew her hand, her words were almost indifferent.

"Please don't, put a curse on me."

32.

—August 1992, Wakayama, Yae Family Garden—

Yeshi squatted under the leaves of the hydrangea.

The little girl was completely covered by the shadows of the branches and leaves.But as long as you look up, you can see the appearance of the leaves pierced by sunlight.

The energy of plant growth is hidden in the slender but intricate leaf veins.That's what her father taught her.

But on the leaf above her head lay a strangely shaped black shadow, a circle bigger than her fist.Yezhi quickly stood up, wanting to see what it was from the front.

The bumpy shape doesn't quite look like a bug—the bug should be elongated, or round, like a red ladybug.

At one end of the thing, there was a small human face.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a human face.To be precise, it is two side-by-side round eyes, a protruding nose, and a grinning mouth, all arranged together, which just happens to be very similar to a human face.

Yezhi blinked curiously, and quickly dragged his father who was watering the flowers over.

"Dad, is this a curse?"

She pointed to something small on the leaves.

In fact, there is still a concrete little curse called jealousy floating in the air, and these curses fill her home, but she is used to the existence of these harmless curses.

But this is the first time she has seen the curse on the leaves.

And the father looked bewildered.The young Yezhi didn't know that in this daze, there was still a bit of helplessness hidden.

All she knew was that after hearing what she said, her father bent down, pushed his eyes, narrowed them into slits, and leaned closer to the leaf surface, the tip of his nose was almost touching the curse.

"Ah... Dad can't see the curse." He smiled apologetically, "Let me ask Grandpa to come and take a look, okay? Grandpa is a magician who can see the curse. Stay here obediently and don't wander around. "

"Oh."

Can't see it?it's wired.

Shizhi raised her hand, her palms forming a small arc, and an ugly and ferocious jealousy fell into her hands.

What does the world look like in Dad's eyes?Curious.

He couldn't imagine it, but the curse started to open its mouth and yell.It's disgusting, and I don't want it to make my father's garden ugly.

She picked up the wooden stick that fell on the ground, and suddenly remembered how she saw her grandpa wielding a knife in the courtyard occasionally.

Like that, she split the stick down.The blade trembled, and the curse was reduced to ashes.

For the first time, she cast off the curse.

A pair of dry, cold hands rested on her shoulders.When she turned around, it turned out that her great-grandfather was standing behind her—he was the head of the Yae family at that time.

The bony great-grandfather's cloudy eyes sparkled.He pressed Yezhi's shoulder so hard that she felt a little pain.I really wanted to express my discomfort, but my great-grandfather's sharp voice drowned out all other voices.

"You are indeed a gifted child. I'm not mistaken, I have always been right. I felt your powerful spell power before you were born." He tightened his hands, his pale beard Trembling with excitement, "Although it is still not as good as the Six Eyes of the Wutiao family, as long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to defeat him! Remember that, and remember what Grandpa said."

There was a frantic and broken light in his eyes.

"You have to defeat the six-eyed genius of the Wujo family. In this way, our expelled Yae family can return to the main house. Our magician bloodline can be revitalized again, and we don't have to worry about the loss of the bloodline withering technique. Remember? You have to defeat him—to defeat Gojo Satoru, this is for our Yae family."

The sky suddenly turned cloudy, and heavy rain fell.

In the last rain of summer, the great-grandfather died, and the head of the house became her grandfather.

On the day she became the head of the house, her grandfather began to teach her how to use the traditional sword.It was also that day that Yezhi was told a completely different future.

"You have to make good friends with Six Eyes of the Gojo family." This is what the grandfather said, "With your ability, you can stand at the same height as him. This means that you have the right to negotiate. Violence cannot take us When you return to the master’s house, you can only negotiate, remember? What happens to the Yae family depends on you. Tell grandpa, you will do this obediently.”

He was as dazed as the father who bent over the hydrangea leaves that summer.

The two Patriarchs asked her to remember their words, but what they pointed out were two completely different paths.Why do these two people speak completely differently?Who should she listen to?

Besides, she doesn't even know who Gojo Satoru is, why does she have to bind her life to a stranger?

"I'll do it."

For the first time, she lied.

33.

—April 2006, Tokyo, High School of Magic—

The moment he walked into the school gate, Gojo Satoru felt an extraordinarily hot gaze focus on him.

From the school gate to the principal's office, and then to the automatic drink vending machine, this line of sight has never disappeared.

Gojo Satoru didn't need to look back, and Gojo Satoru knew that the owner of his gaze was a blond curly-haired girl who was a head shorter than him, wearing the school uniform of the Conjuration High School, and should be a new freshman this year.When following behind, she also took special care to hide her figure, it seemed that she didn't want him to know the fact that she was being a stalker.

Gojo Satoru was a little unhappy being stared at.Before the girl hid in the corner, he turned back immediately.The eyes of the two happened to collide.

The girl froze in her steps, but she didn't stay dull for too long, and immediately smiled brightly.

"Wow, are you the legendary Gojo Satoru? It's the first time I saw a real person, so excited!"

Great reading, standard great reading, standard to Gojo Satoru doesn't want to expose her anymore.

He pursed his mouth, inserted the straw into the juice box, and walked away with it.And the girl who was exposed by him also followed behind him openly, and even trotted a few steps, walked around in front of him, murmured, and looked at his face seriously.

"It doesn't look like it's very special, just an ordinary handsome guy. I thought you would grow more... um... weird?"

Gojo Satoru stopped in his tracks and frowned dissatisfiedly: "Who are you?"

"My name is Yae Yae."

The girl stretched out her hand to him, smiling easily.

"Nice to meet you!"

"Diary Excerpts"

Sunny Monday, September 2006, 4

Today is the first day of enrolling my younger brothers in the High School of Conjuration!I was also very lucky to see Liuyan who had seen the Gojo family!

In all fairness, he is a handsome guy, but he looks like an ordinary high school student.I thought he would be a little more special.

Speaking of which, what I can't figure out the most is that he is obviously called Six Eyes, but he only has two eyes like ordinary people.So where did the name Six Eyes come from?I can't figure it out.

But what kind of character would he be?I really want to be friends with him!

As for what grandpa said about negotiations, I still don't want to think about it for the time being.If I lead my younger siblings, the Yae family will soon become a famous family of conjurers, right?There is no need to be attached to the main five, okay?

I really don't understand how old people think.

Oh yes... Will Gojo Satoru know anything about the relationship between the Yae family and the Gojo family?Ask him another day.

But the premise is that we have to be friends first.

The author has something to say: This chapter is so long, hurry up and praise me!

And just to add-

She said to her father "don't cast a curse on me" not because of her indifference or lack of affection for her father, but she just felt that she would not be able to live again, so she tried to dispel her father's concern about "the daughter coming home". obsession with things.

Otherwise, if she really died, she would be bound by the words "You must come back" and turn into a terrible curse to return to her father, hurting other people under uncontrollable circumstances.
