Cupid

"Thanks……"

Before you could thank Gojo Satoru, you felt your body fall backwards uncontrollably, and the back of your head hit the man's hot chest.

A slender arm stood between you and Gojo Satoru, pulling you into his arms.

It's Xia Youjie standing behind you.

"Too close."

The moment he saw Gojo Satoru approaching you, the boy's body moved.After sighing coolly, Xia You just realized what she had done.

The black-haired Junxiu boy pursed his thin lips, slowly closed the palm that was blocking your arm into a fist, then stretched out his long leg and kicked the five sitting table legs, explaining his behavior with a smile explain:

"...will hit you."

Gojo Satoru, who was bending his body towards you, suddenly encountered this catastrophe, because of the vibration of the tabletop, he almost fell to your position.

Fortunately, as a special class, he has outstanding physical skills, and after slightly adjusting his posture, he regained his balance, and landed lightly on the ground.

"Wow, you are too close, right? This is all hugged..."

Gojo Satoru returned the sunglasses to the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and twitched the corners of his lips dissatisfied at the expressionless Xia You.

……

As Wujo Satoru said, in the next few days, Xia Youjie, the problem child who was the initiator of the crime and the holder of the curse, fully enjoyed the peaceful campus life.

You, who should have stayed in the spell obediently, can also take this opportunity to come out and experience the long-awaited colorful world.

However, as the curse of being in the "enemy camp", you want to show Xia You your value as soon as possible so that you can gain a firm foothold in the new environment as soon as possible.

All your abilities come from the "wooden box" in your hand that can brew wine with spiritual power.

There are two kinds of wine in the "wooden box", one is blood wine made by cursed spirits and monsters, which can be used to turn into blood blades, and can also be used to curse and control the individual whose blood is drawn.

The second is "chewing wine", which can imprison and preserve the soul of the drinker, and comes with an unknown mind control such as "curse of love", and the depth of "love" depends on the difference in spell power between you and the other party.

As the "master" who holds the contract, Xia Youjie knows all about your spells, so you explained it to Wujo Wu.

The holder of the six eyes dragged his cheeks and listened to everything, and asked you with great interest:

"That's right. Although you only look at the combat power and the total amount of spell power, you are only a little above the second level. But in terms of specificity, you can indeed be called a super class."

"The two cursed skeletons that are like real people are also your handwriting?"

Yes or no.

The "Dirty Earth Reincarnation Technique" you used on Otsubaki and Kagura is a magic skill that cannot be reproduced by modern technology.

Select the soil soaked by the curse power in the territory of the cursed king, use the exquisite technology of "curse of man" to carve out a body that is in harmony with the soul, and bake the clay with the flame of "curse of the earth".

None of them can be taken by ordinary warlocks.

Not only that, but unlike the previous "chewing wine" that allowed the dying to linger for a year, this forbidden spell that can still save lives after the body is damaged is also amazingly expensive, and it takes you a full hundred years to recover.

But fortunately, the mantra has gathered talents this year——

There is Noctua Masato, who is a master of making spell skeletons, and Jiarui Nitzi, who can heal eczema with a reversal warlock.

Their existence means that as long as you can use "chewing wine" to imprison the soul of the target, no matter whether it is healing the body or creating a new body, someone will solve it for you.

After finding out your details, Gojo Satoru's positioning of you has also been raised from "beautiful book heroine" to "very useful and beautiful book heroine".

"I think your biggest feature is cuteness. You are prettier than Xia You's 'Before Incarnation of Tamamo'."

"That black-toothed woman with bucktoothed ancient clothes is actually called 'Yamazao Mae'. I think she is not a fox demon curse spirit but a name deceitful curse spirit!"

Gojo Satoru said so and gave you a thumbs up.

...he might be playing tricks again.

"...Thank you." You tried your best to move the corners of your mouth, and forced a smile back to Gojo Satoru.

Fine.

Anyway, goodwill that doesn't rely on "chewing wine" seems to you to be an illusory thing, and making Gojo Satoru feel that you are useful is your biggest goal.

Staring at Gojo Satoru's smiling handsome face, you breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there is a trump card to live in the magic world, but what about normal times?

What do you usually need to do?

"What does Xiayou want me to do? Except for the "killing" thing, I will do everything else I can do."

It was Xia Youjie's smile that answered your blank question.

"Be a witch."

"Isn't your wish to become a witch who subdues demons?"

"...Although it's been a long time, it's not too late to start, right?"

Xia You's answer stunned you for a moment.

He still remembers...

When you got along with him as a wife, you did say coquettishly in his arms, "Jie is so powerful. I also want to be a powerful exorcist like you and travel around..."

It's just a love story, it's just a dream.

You must know that you have betrayed two gods in succession. One of them was sealed and his life is unknown, and the other was released by you to belong to the elves.

You are no longer a witch.

But why are you still wearing this miko costume after waking up?

It's a riddle that even you can't explain.

You don't know what expression to make, and you don't know what kind of mentality to face this so-called "dream".

But staring at the pair of eyes that are looking at you tenderly, you still murmured a response:

"...Okay. I'll do it."

It is just a job recommended by Xiayou for you.

……

Xia Youjie found the "purification" target for you that afternoon——

"Limps in Children's Paradise"

Contemporary curses are mostly the aggregation of negative emotions in urban ghost stories passed down by word of mouth.

This curse that specifically lures children is no exception. Its real body comes from ghost stories that adults use to scare children:

The playful children who have been staying in the children's paradise and refused to go home will encounter a terrifying black shadow monster, and then be caught in a different space that no one knows, and they will never find their way home.

A child who is still inexperienced in the world has a pair of clear eyes, and can faintly detect the cursed and ominous shadow.

The originally cheerful child changed his love for the paradise and began to cry and say "saw something strange", clutching the palm of his parents, begging to go home earlier.

Adults who don't know much about curses think that there are strange characters like "love, child, and obsessive" in the park, and there are more complaints to the management staff.

The breath of public opinion and curses attracted the attention of the "window" in charge of investigation among conjurers.

The tense should have been controlled in the first place, but some children who did not play their cards according to common sense chose to rush towards the newly formed curse without hesitation.

It was a lively girl who liked to watch cartoons. As a birthday present, she was taken by her parents from the countryside to play in an amusement park. Then the last words she left to her playmates were:

"I'm going to be a Sailor Moon woman, go!"

……

Her parents shed tears of distress for this, and asked the police officer disguised as the "Missing Children Task Force" dispatched by the mantra to say:

"Please, please help us find the child of Wild Rose..."

Although you are good at hiding your breath, you can disguise yourself as an ordinary human being, but due to the influence of comics, your true appearance is not conducive to the physical and mental health of young people, and the commonly used black veil will make you look like a bad person.

In order not to scare the children, you finally chose to turn the black gauze into a popular fox mask in the amusement park. It is considered a traditional accessory with the witch costume, but it also matches well.

After completing the costume change, a "little animal" good at scouting was summoned from the wooden box.

The little crow with three claws and six eyes flapped its wings and took off.

With its help, you soon found the lost briar in the reworked Sand Paradise.

An 8-year-old girl is fighting a group of black shadows evenly.

She copied a carpentry hammer that she had drawn out from nowhere, shouted "Magic Shockwave" and slammed the wheel on Curse's head.

What a strong and strong magical girl.

Although the child who had just awakened from the spell was not strong in spell power, every movement was deadly, and it seemed that the hammer was so hard that it made people's teeth ache.

Curses aren't a vegetarian thing either.

Seeing that he couldn't get close to him in hand-to-hand combat, the pitch-black shadow suddenly swelled up, covering Qiangwei's whole body like mud.It took the opportunity to seal Wild Rose's movements, and slowly crawled towards her nose and mouth.

Seeing this scene, your fingers moved.

The blood wine condensed into the shape of an arrow pierced directly into Curse's fat body.

One after another, like nails being driven into a wooden stake, there was a "puff, puff, puff" sound.

The girl who had gradually lost consciousness due to suffocation saw countless blood-colored camellias before her eyes were closed.

The blood splashed from the cursed body is like crushed flower petals, blown into the wooden box in your hand by the evening wind.

It's so red, it's so beautiful.

Since you fell into a deep sleep, you haven't come out for a "walk" for a long time.It's rare to see a blood flower today, and your mood will naturally improve.

You even smiled at that dazed child.

...The result of such kindness is that the girl took the initiative to stick to you on the way back to meet her parents.

"Thank you Miko-sama!"

"I fought hard with him for several rounds and felt a little bit overwhelmed..."

"Can I become a priestess like you too? Although my original goal was Sailor Moon, I have regained my original intention today, so is it too late to change careers?"

Children in the Internet age are very precocious, and the words and sentences in her mouth are like cannonballs jumping out one after another, so fast that you are overwhelmed.

You don't quite understand whether she can become a witch.

You silently stared at the "good partner who was picked up casually but accompanied by life and death: Miss Hammer" in her hand. The only thing you can be sure of is that she is very talented as a conjurer.

Wild Rose's eyes full of trust and longing make you feel very difficult.

You are not some powerful "witch" worthy of worship, and you do not do enough to guide a child's dream.

This is just a normal "job" for you.

But it would be too heartless to say such a thing to a child...

So praise her, as you wished when you were a child—

"Yeah, sorry. I don't know either."

"But you're a very talented kid, you're sweet and energetic, so do whatever you want."

As you said words of appreciation, you hesitantly stretched out your palm, and patted Briar Rose's furry head lightly.

【I want the adults I like to recognize me, I want to be watched, I want to be praised】

At that time, you were a vain and proud child, full of ghost ideas to act like a baby and reward.

But people are different, you are not sure whether Wild Rose will eat this set or not.

So after you finished all this, you took a few steps back and hid directly behind Xia You, only poking your head out a little to observe the little girl who was stunned in place.

As your "guardian", Xia You is explaining to you with a smile: "I'm sorry, she is rather shy."

And Wild Rose slowly flushed her cheeks.

As the name suggests, she is really like a red rose now.

As long as she doesn't hate it.

……

According to the "Confidentiality Regulations of the Magic World", you and Xia Youjie, as warlocks, cannot appear in front of ordinary people.

So you can only send her to the "officer" in the waiting area.

The beloved daughter who celebrated her birthday was kidnapped by an urban pervert. After this thrilling trip, the Nagasaki family may not come to the so-called metropolis for a long time.

The little girl was keenly aware of the meaning behind this parting.

She gripped the handle of the hammer tightly, changed from her cheerful and lively attitude just now, and lowered her head in frustration to complain to you of the reluctance in her heart:

"My home is in the suburbs, which is a four-hour drive... I take a bus for an hour before going to the station."

"The car was bumpy, there were a lot of people, and there was a heavy smell of sweat. But I think it's worth it. I like big cities, and I'm glad to see you..."

"You said I'm talented, so shall we meet again?"

Wild Rose looks at you obediently with those big watery eyes.

And you who were standing next to Xia You began to twitch your fingers uneasily again.

She must have met you because of another curse-related misfortune.

You recalled the hard work you made in your childhood to become the "big witch", those nights when you were hungry and couldn't sleep, you could only respond sincerely: "You are too young, you don't need to work too hard, let's keep it as our secret first , grow up a bit..."

"When you grow up and come to the city, you may still have a chance."

You talked about the possibility of comforting others, but Wild Rose took it as a promise.

A big smile bloomed on that cute little face, and she said goodbye to you before turning to leave with the "police officer": "That's a deal, goodbye sister witch!"

"Goodbye, Briar."

You waved your palm lightly.
