I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

Time passed to June.

The second volume of "The Reef" was published, and I received a sample booklet from editor Nakago.

Within a week of the publication of the second volume of "The Reef", the sales volume of the novel has jumped to become the first among novels of the same type in the same year, and it also drove the sales volume of the first volume published last year.

I can clearly feel the changes in the reef during this period. As the influence spreads, the reef is gradually getting stronger.

Two weeks after the publication of the second volume, Reef was officially upgraded from a quasi-secondary curse to a second-degree curse.

I have really experienced the changes brought about by the spread.

Because of this, I have never been very concerned about overseas publishing, animation and film, and I rarely urged the editor of Nakago, who thought I had changed my gender, and wanted me to start writing new novels in various explicit and implicit ways.

So I handed over the manuscript of the love light novel that I wrote a little earlier to Editor Zhongxiang.

Not to mention, although love light novels are not as easy to write as I thought before I wrote them, but in the past month, I have still written a lot of content, thanks to love... Ah no, it depends Mu Mei, who is experienced in love.

Ever since this curse took root outside my window sill, I either said strange words and then blushed strangely every day, or I was told it by what I have seen and heard since I lived for so many years.

It's just that after I handed in the manuscript of the love novel, the editor of Zhongxiang seemed to be shocked, and didn't send me a message for a while.

In addition, Yoshino enrolled in the High School of Conjuration.

When he came to Tokyo, he sent me a message, and I also sent a message of congratulations, and sent a signed version of the new book as an admission gift.

Everything is going in the right direction.

It would be even better if the investigation of the truth of Ryoko's death can go smoothly.

Because it is related to the curse, entrusting a private detective does not seem to have much effect, but fortunately, I agreed with Gojo Satoru's proposal to become a [window], and gained the convenience of some insiders.

I also found a dedicated internal website, internal forums and so on.

At the same time, thanks to Xia You's guidance, I found that most schools would place some curse objects in the school to suppress the curse, and the high school that Ryoko Aomori attended seven years ago also placed this curse object, and later the curse object was recycled Saved, whereabouts unknown.

It took me a lot of effort to find out the name of the cursed object. No matter how much information I have, it would be difficult to find out.

The name of that curse is

——[Shexiang Bhikkhu Bone]

From a literal point of view, the bones of the monk who received the full precepts, as for the meaning of the incense, I have not found a specific meaning, but if you think about it, the first thing you think of is one of the eight dragons in the Buddhist scriptures. Asura's daughter Shezhi.

But this is also just association.

For this reason, I hesitated for a while, and asked Gojo Satoru, who seemed to be quite talkative.

In the process of gaining access to the internal information of [Window], I also gradually learned what kind of status this person who is said to be just an excellent teacher has in the magic world.

However, it is still unimaginable.

[Teacher Wujowu, the handsome guy: Bhikkhu Shexiang, I remember that this one was recycled by a younger generation of me.Now it is kept in Tianyuan's enchantment, and put together with other cursed objects. 】

I typed and asked: Mr. Wujo, can you tell me the contact information of your junior?

[Teacher Wujo Wu, a handsome guy: He is investigating the Gumanthong curse in Thailand, and it is inconvenient to contact him. Let me ask him for you after he comes back]

It's quite reliable, Xia You's friend.

I raised my eyebrows slightly, and just as I was about to reply 'thank you', the other party sent me a word in a flash.

[Big handsome guy Gojo Satoru: No thanks, no thanks, actually, I have one thing I want to ask you, Sake! 】

Ok?

...

"Please let me lead his students to the source of Xuyu River?" I slowly read the few lines on the phone.

[Enlightened? ] Jumped onto the back of the sofa using the summer oil on the body of the curse, and saw the message records on my mobile phone.

"Yes, there may indeed be a curse in the deep pool that is said to be the source of the Xuyu River." I told Xia You the story of my search for the source of the Xuyu River.

[It may be true that people's fear of deep pools, oceans and the like can easily generate curses. ] Xia You agreed, and then asked me, [Then how do you reply? ]

Ryoko sat on the other side of me, picked out a few strands of hair on my right side with a small comb, and carefully braided them into thin braids.

"I promise."

After all, he just said that he would help me, and I refused to help him as soon as I turned around, which seemed to be too low in EQ.

It's just leading the way, so it shouldn't take much trouble.

[In this case, let me go together. ] The villain with black hair and ball head is sitting on the back of the sofa, his whole body is full of dignity and reliability.

"Sake." I was about to answer yes, when Ryoko put down the braids she had braided, leaned towards me, put her head on my shoulder and called out to me in a low voice.

Ryoko's stature was originally shorter than mine, and although she was super class from the point of view of the magic spirit, she still looked like a girl when she leaned on me like this, and she still felt like a small animal.

I asked her softly, "What's wrong?"

Ryoko remained silent, and I waited for her to speak.

"Stop looking for the truth, okay?"

"...why?"

I looked at her quietly, looking at the familiar eyebrows, and the familiar smile would reveal the dimpled cheeks.

"I'm right here, Sake, I'll always be by your side, can't you just treat me as Ryoko in your memory?" Based on the book I wrote, "17-year-old Ryoko" Ryoko, who was born, looked at me pleadingly, "That's it, isn't it?"

I am speechless.

In fact, except when Ryoko appeared at the beginning, I was shaken in a trance, and then I never admitted it.

The Ryoko of the human being and the Ryoko of the curse spirit, I have already separated them subconsciously. They are the same but also different.

I don't and can't get it mixed up.

I seemed to understand why she said such words, and I took out my suppressed hand and turned around to hug her, like hugging a restless child, and gently patted her back with my hands.

"Sake..."

"Sorry, I can't do it."

"Liangzi is my friend, and you..." I paused, "You are my miss."

...

I don't know if the meaning I want to express has been conveyed. I just feel that Ryoko's hand holding me tightened suddenly after hearing what I said.

After a while, her body gradually relaxed, and her hands weakly wrapped around my back.

...

[Am I supposed to be here? ] Xia You's voice sounded on the back of the sofa, reminding me.

I didn't see it at this time, but Liangzi who heard Xia You's words raised her face from my shoulder, and gave him a middle finger with a hand wrapped around my back.

Summer Oil: […? ]

I saw that Ryoko's mood had almost calmed down, so I patted her on the shoulder nonchalantly to end the hug.

Then reply to the long-awaited message.

After discussion, I made an appointment with Gojo Satoru for tomorrow morning.

Because the Suyu River is on the Tottori side, it is quite far from Tokyo, and there are not many Shinkansen trains, so it is best to start early, and then decide whether to stay in the county for a day or go directly to the countryside after arriving in Tottori.

But I still have a vacant house in Tottori, so I can stay in the county for a day if I don’t have time to go directly to the countryside.

I remember that there is only one village near Xuyu River, and I didn’t pass by that village when I searched for the source before, so I don’t know how the village is, so it’s not convenient for me to stay.

It is not convenient for the general to take it with me. I originally wanted to ask the editor of Zhongxiang to take care of it for a few days, but when Ning Ning passed by my house after school in the afternoon, she knew that I was going out, so she offered to take care of the general for a few days.

The next day, I arrived at the agreed address as agreed.

He held the black-haired ball-headed figure in his left hand, and the bag in his right hand, followed by two curse spirits. From a distance, he could see three people in black uniforms standing out from the crowd in the station.

Two boys and one girl.

The girl is a little petite, but looks very imposing. One of the two boys is the prickly-haired boy who sent the curse, and the other is a pink-haired sports boy.

In fact, everything else is fine, but the sign with the words [Ibuki Sake] held high in the hand of the boy with pink hair and sports makes me really not really want to walk over it.
