[Spell Return] Beast of Despair

67.

—April 2018, Tokyo, High School of Magic—

When I stepped out of the archive storage room, the rain that had been falling for a long time finally stopped, but the sky had not yet cleared up, and a gloomy and stuffy feeling enveloped the city.

This year's rainy season is extraordinarily long, like today's rain, intermittent and dense, it lasted for a long time without ending.I never knew that the rainy season can last until this season.

But now that the rain has stopped, that's fine.She is content.

Pulling out the long-handled umbrella placed on the drain rack, she shook it vigorously habitually, even though there was not much rain left on the umbrella.

Precise prosthetics are best kept out of water.He followed the doctor's instruction and never let the mechanical hand touch the wet umbrella. He just held the handle of the umbrella with his left hand and carefully folded the umbrella neatly before leaving this old building. .

Since she couldn't find what she wanted here, let's move to the next place.That's what he thought.

The long-handled umbrella is in hand.It may be that she was a little too careless, the tip of the umbrella would always touch the ground, making short but sharp noises as it rubbed against the green brick ground.Yezhi simply held the middle end of the umbrella, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

The umbrella in his palm swayed gently with his steps.So it reminded me of the cartoons of magical girls that used to be shown on TV. When I was a child, I especially loved watching them. When I was so fond of holding a long-handled umbrella, I would regard this long thing as a magic wand and wave it decently. , it really has a sense of dexterity like a magical girl.

Unprepared again, she thought of the past, and Shizhi almost crushed the umbrella in her hand. Fortunately, a familiar call came from behind, which distracted her.

"Why did you come to school suddenly? Didn't you tell me in advance?"

Gojo Satoru who said this seemed to be acting like a baby. It seemed that he had completely forgotten that he was a serious teacher walking around the campus with three first-year students.

Yezhi stopped in his tracks, first smiled at Fukuihui who was standing behind Gojo Satoru, and then said: "I originally wanted to come here to look through the files related to the curse spirit of the Yae family, but when I arrived The archives found out later that there was no such file. Yidizhi told me that most of the records had been transferred to Tianyuan Building for preservation last year."

"So are you going to Tianyuan Building next?"

"Well, that's right."

"If it weren't for continuing to complete the teacher's work, I would definitely go with you." Gojo Satoru touched the heads of each first-year student one by one, and asked her, "Why did you suddenly think of looking at the files?"

It was a very straightforward question, even a little too straightforward.If it was two months ago, when Gojo Satoru asked such words, Yezhi would definitely put on a displeased expression and respond with silence, even if it was not something difficult to say at all.

"It's just a little bit of memory. I have forgotten too many things, especially what happened that night. As a witness, the memories left in my mind are the most unbelievable things."

She raised her hand, lightly touched the corner of her forehead with her fingertips, raised an imperceptible small arc at the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile:

"Because the subjective color is too strong."

What she needs most now is to observe the accident three years ago from the perspective of others.

"That's it—I see." Gojo nodded as if he understood, "If you encounter any troubles, you must tell me."

"Teacher Wutiao, let's continue working with peace of mind, and don't see me too much. Hmm... the students who are with you today seem to be different from the ones you saw last time." The student who peeked at him They looked at each other several times, and Shizhi quietly looked away, "Where did the panda go?"

"The pandas are on a mission. Last time you saw the second-grade students, today these are all the first-grade children."

As if suddenly realizing it, he let out an "oh--".

"It seems that you are very busy, Mr. Wujo."

Words with a smile always sound like a kind of kind teasing.Gojo Satoru, however, didn't seem to understand anything, raised his chin slightly, as if he was proud of being said so by her.

"No way, this is the responsibility of the teacher."

Just as he was saying this, the "first graders" next to him started whispering secretly.

"Who is this beautiful sister? She seems to be very familiar with the teacher. Could it be that she is also a teacher who teaches in a high school!" Wild Qiangwei became a little excited.

The focus of the knotweed is rather crooked: "I have an umbrella of the same style as hers at home. But who is she? Does Fu Hei know?"

"Uh……"

I don't know how the knotweed came up with the idea to ask Fu Heihui this question, but now the two of them are focusing their eyes on him, with a strong desire for knowledge written in their eyes, as if they are extremely sure that they must know something something like that.

Unfortunately, he really does.It's just that these two curious eyes were too hot, he had to spend some time to speak carefully.

"She belongs to Mr. Wujo...she should be regarded as his fiancée."

Fu Heihui replied in this way, and he received a question from Ye Qiangwei as it should be.

"What does 'should count' describe?"

"Um……"

Fu Heihui pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.He always felt that the "no breakup" that Gojo Satoru said last time was just a rhetoric to coax him, not the truth, but he couldn't go to the other party to confirm the real situation - that would be embarrassing of.

But judging from the atmosphere between the two today, it seems that there is really no breakup, otherwise Teacher Wutiao wouldn't be touching her ears at this moment.

After thinking about it, Fu Heihui felt that he should take back the defining word "should be regarded as".

Before he had time to say anything, he suddenly felt Gojo Satoru pat him on the shoulder.

"Okay, don't just stand here. Hurry up and move on, I still have something to do, but I'll follow up soon, so don't look back and peek at what I'm doing!"

Gojo Satoru bites every word very hard, it sounds like a warning, but it is not scary at all, and it has no deterrent effect at all.

"Absolutely—don't turn around and peek!"

After repeating the warning for the last time, Gojo Satoru left the group of brats with peace of mind, returned to Shizhi's side, and pinched her ears again. His petty movements were as many as a naughty child, and it was no surprise that Shizhi It laughed.

"So what Teacher Wutiao wants to do is to make troubles for me?" She narrowed her eyes slightly with a faint smile, "Is this the so-called being a teacher? You have been taught."

Gojo Satoru also smiled: "That's why I told them not to watch it. And I don't just want to make trouble for you."

He likes to call him "Teacher Wutiao".Obviously this is just a very common address, one that he hears many times every day, but it is such a simple word, but when she utters it, it has an inexplicably softer meaning.

Still stroking her ear with his fingertips, Gojo Satoru lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly.It was a parting kiss, but he asked for more. He didn't smile until he was poked on the shoulder by Shizhi and heard her say that the first-year children were peeking at them disobediently.

"Let them go."

These generous words finally gave him a bit of the dignity of a teacher, but the dignity disappeared in the next second.He rubbed Yeshi's head, nagging and exhorting:

"Be careful on the road, call me if you encounter problems. And..."

"That's a lot to talk about."

After that, he took a small step back and successfully escaped his clutches.She really didn't have the patience to listen to Wu Tiao's nagging, so she hurriedly said goodbye and ran out of the school.

Probably an illusion, she seemed to have heard Gojo Satoru's laughter and still followed behind.She shook her head, finally getting rid of the brisk laughter.

After getting rid of Gojo Satoru's smile, she seemed unable to smile anymore.The umbrella in her hand was still dangling, and she thought of the cute look of Hirokazu when he used the umbrella as a magic wand.

But this time, she will no longer have the urge to crush the umbrella.She just stood calmly on the side of the road, waiting for an empty taxi to stop and take her to Tianyuan Building.

The fine rain fell again after a brief silence of several 10 minutes.After standing in the rain for a while, Shi Zhi's hair was covered with tiny raindrops, which looked like silver drops under the refraction of light.

She is lucky.Before the tiny drops of water turned into a large water spot, a car finally stopped in front of her.

Open the door, squeeze into the small compartment filled with the smell of inferior lemon aromatherapy, and casually put the umbrella on the edge of the seat.When the taxi started slowly, her vision fell into darkness for a moment.

It was as dark as that night three years ago.

*The only surviving special-level conjurer Yae called it "the curse spirit of the Yae family", and it is reasonable to suspect that the main body of the curse spirit is divided into the exiled conjurer Yae who gave birth to an heir with the curse spirit 150 years ago.

The author has something to say: "Most magicians reach the 2nd level, and the quasi-1st level will be capped."

This is the setting from the manga appendix
