My curse spirit is number one in the world

There were only the two of them on the bus, the sun was shining through the window and leaving, and the conversation was still going on.

99 Chao: "You have also discovered that our spells are very similar. If the spell spirits you encounter can become part of your own power, won't our two needs conflict?"

"..."

Xia Youjie: Don't you dislike...

99 Serious: I really don't want ugly ones.

Will the curse spirit as the condensation of the curse not be ugly?

No, Xia Youjie felt that he was being led astray. After all, everyone's aesthetics are different, and strength is the most important thing. He shouldn't be entangled in this issue.

What he should think more about is the proposal of the 99th Dynasty.

Onmyoji's shikigami settings are very common in comics and novels, and Shinto often mentions this ancient profession. It is impossible for Xia Youjie to be unaware of related matters.

He and the 99th Dynasty are also the art of subduing the curse spirit. This exorcising mission is definitely not particularly difficult because it is of an assessment nature, so the curse spirit can definitely be subdued before it is eliminated... So, if you don't know the curse spirit What is his strength, and before he knows what he looks like, there is a high probability that he and 99 Chao are competitors.

Many conjurers know the information of Yusanjia. The appearance of the god summoned in the previous 99 dynasties: "Yaqi no Orochi" is similar to the shadow technique of the Chanyuan family, so a famous legendary magic spirit only appears in the form of a shadow. Appeared, it seemed that what 99 Zhao had in his hands should be a kind of split spirit or a small part of the power of this curse spirit, and he hadn't completely surrendered it yet.

As for the puppet master and the defensive wind, it can be seen that 99's shikigami abilities are relatively simple, so he also needs to subdue shikigami (spell spirits) with comprehensive abilities.

The only thing Xia Youjie couldn't think of was: "What restraints can you think of to ease our conflict?"

99 Chao made a small gesture of yes in his heart, and said briskly: "It's very simple, you also know that the more mandatory the vocabulary is, the shorter the restraint is the most effective, so our restraint can't be something like As for the requirement of 'You are not allowed to snatch the spell spirit I like, I will not give up the spell spirit I defeated'. At the same time, it must be something that I don't need to complete within a certain period of time—"

After a while, the boy's voice finally fell down:

"Mutual snatching."

snatch each other...

The long and narrow Danfeng eyes widened slightly, Xia Youjie reacted for a while, then suddenly let out a "ha" laugh, his shoulder-length hair trembled and rustled, as if he had encountered a simple and easy-to-understand lie, but he didn't want to expose it in time .

"I thought the senior was a very principled person."

"Do you know what my principles are?" 99 Chao asked calmly, not knowing what he was laughing at.

"Don't like to do good deeds, save people for a while?" Xia Youjie answered casually, but he took a serious look at 99 Chao.

One thing I have to admit is that the 99th Dynasty does have the public's views and impressions of Onmyoji. Apart from the traditional white hunting clothes and black hats, there is still a sense of mystery and easy-going, but it is too young and too quiet. The restlessness of teenagers is easy to ignore.

On the contrary, what Xia Youjie felt in him was a strange sense of precipitation. He didn't have the power of observation like Gojo Satoru.

Xia Youjie spontaneously attributed this feeling to the category of unfamiliar and strong.

He didn't take 99 Chao's self-introduction seriously before, because in his eyes, becoming a conjurer, expelling curses, and protecting ordinary people is a positive thing. If he doesn't like doing good things, why should 99 Chao strive to become a curse? magician?Is it just because he was adopted by a conjurer and Kyoto High School?

As well as snatching each other, in fact, under the condition that 99 Chao will not release the restraint, it means that he will not attack any spell spirit he wants to subdue at all.

Even if he makes a move in the future, in Xia Youjie's eyes, the restraint that sounds tough is just an idea of ​​"what's the point of giving him one".

Because he has received many gifts.

——This is not a question of whether he needs a gift, but I think there should be a very pure reason for doing this 99 times, or he is actually a very pure person.

Xia Youjie guessed uncertainly: "Is it because of some ideal?"

"?"

99 Chao didn't expect such a rhetorical question, thinking that the other party would discuss with him more about shikigami, but after thinking about it later, it seems that it was because of what he said he wanted to become a high-level conjurer.

Little did he know that the reason why he would set this restraint was actually that he had already read all the materials of the currently registered spell spirits. Except for being ugly or ugly, the powerful ones must be exorcising more than subduing them, so he might as well find the pleasing monsters himself .

For example, Nuliang Rikusheng is good, seriously.

Since the request for restraint was not rejected, 99 Chao followed Xia Youjie's question with an interested expression, "Then what does Mr. Xia You think people rely on to move forward?"

Answering questions with questions is all truth to fool people.

Xia Youjie has always given him a sense of "he looks bad, but he is actually a top student", and it is more effective to ask him this way.

Sure enough, Xia Youjie started to think instead, and after a while, he was about to give an answer. 99 Chao, who had been looking at his micro-expressions, suddenly smiled.

Xia Youjie:?

"Mr. Xia You doesn't need to be entangled by me. Human beings are creatures whose emotions are easily affected by various factors. There are many invisible rules and principles in the world. We can live well in them because of the "self" in principle'."

99 Zhao cleared his throat: "I have a principle to stick to the end, it's not some lofty dream, but in order to maintain the sense of mystery, I decided not to tell you!"

Xia Youjie swallowed his words, "..."

Principles and ideals are two things that are easy to confuse for young people aged 99 or [-]. After thinking about it for a while, he found that the answers he could come up with were not satisfactory to him, so [-] Chaos had to keep it mysterious, which meant that he could also no answer.

Xia Youjie pondered again: "Then 99 thinks... what are ideals and principles?"

Xia Youjie seldom thinks or mentions such questions, because any word is a distant concept, but now he feels that the other party will give him a different answer.

Thinking beyond the limitations of age and the conjurer's vision is the weirdness of 99 Chaos. Of course, this person is sometimes naive, like an adult with a childlike innocence.

It's still not the expected technique topic, but 99 Chao thinks there's nothing wrong with this kind of discussion, after all, young people always like this kind of topic that seems to have depth but is actually useless.

He didn't know that Xia Youjie had vaguely grasped the answer he wanted to hide.

So he thought about it for a while: "Ideal... should be a vague concept like 'hope' and 'future'. If it is specifically determined, it will either be shining or very extreme. Existence. No one wants to go to the extreme side, they must stick to the 'original heart' or 'original heart', that is the principle."

99 Chao paused after saying this, and corrected it: "However, the so-called extreme is also something generated by public opinion. Conjurers are not a large group in the first place, and some things cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, more changes are needed. Think about it, don't get into a dead end."

The teenager speaks age-appropriate words in an age-appropriate tone:

"You are free, Mr. Xia You."

【you are free. 】

[Don't let absolute concepts constrain you, think about what you want to do in the first place, Seimei. 】

Suddenly, strange and familiar voices flashed in his mind again, 99 was taken aback for a moment, and his whole body stiffened.

Huh?

There was silence in the bus for a while, only the sound of the wheels moving slowly, and the gentle breeze blowing through the windows.

Xia Youjie leaned casually on the back of the chair with his legs propped up, his hands resting on his lap, thinking about this passage, shadows and light crossed over his body.

"Maybe you were really a preaching teacher in your previous life."

Xia Youjie said slowly, he remembered the 99 times he complained in the forest.

99 Chao was still a little puzzled, but in order not to be seen out, he quickly came back to his senses.

"Teacher? ... Well, wait, becoming a high-level conjurer while also being a teacher in a high school... This seems really good!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Youjie's words gave him a real flash of inspiration. This identity seems to reflect his value better - there are few first-level magicians, but he can become the leader of the next generation of magicians Even less, you can also develop your own power... No, no, it should be said that you will not let the old-fashioned thinking of magic arts to poison young people.

Xia Youjie didn't expect him to have such an idea all of a sudden, he looked at the young man with bright eyes speechlessly, and said seriously, "I'm just complaining."

But you don't understand my goal!

"I know, thank you very much for helping me determine my ideal, Mr. Xia You!"

99 Chao was in high spirits, and he didn't care about whether he complained or not.

Just do it!

……

When the bus arrived at the station, it stopped at the half of a winding mountain road. Maybe the town was too quiet and did not suit the style of young people. Gojo Satoru was waiting for them at the station.

Seeing Xia Youjie's expression, he got out of the car with something wrong. He couldn't help asking what's wrong but got a no-nonsense answer.

Gojo Satoru:?

When he was looked at by those beautiful and insightful eyes, 99 Chao said happily, "Xia You and I talked about our ideals in life!"

The relationship between the two seems to have drawn closer within the time of a bus ride.

"Huh? Ideal?"

Gojo Satoru took another look at Xia Youjie strangely, stepped forward and put one hand on 99's shoulder, bent down and asked him: "Isn't it some ideal to reach the pinnacle of conjurer and become a winner in life?"

"No," 99 Chao didn't care about his excessive ignorance of keeping a distance, and said enthusiastically, "I plan to target Teacher Ye Moth."

Gojo Satoru let out a sigh. Although he didn't expect such a simple answer, he still improved his level in the brain supplement, "Become the principal of Tokyo High School who can make wool felt?"

"...No, it's becoming a teacher."

99 Chao lost interest soon, and slapped Wujo Wu's hand away.

He could see that Wujo Satoru didn't seem to have much interest in his ideals—of course, no interest is the best, because what he wants to do is not to be a great teacher or to become a candle light, and he is too lazy to find another for his own selfish desires. Excuse.

If you won't be questioned, it's fine to put on a show and stop as much as you can, and it's over if there is more.

It was close to noon, and the destination was a house on the edge of the town. The two-storey Japanese-style old house was decades old.The assistant supervisor who had been watching had already put down the tent, and only after the three arrived did he stand on a grassy field far away from the old house and explain to them the situation of the mission.

99 deserted and rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

He raised his head and looked at the roof of the old house behind the bush, hoping to solve this task as soon as possible.

He didn't know why, but it was a clear and sunny day, but he suddenly felt an extremely humid water wind blowing in front of him.

With a stench mixed with blood.

The author has something to say:

99: Sashimi?
