Brother Jack, don't kill me!

When proposing to move, Xia Youjie's mother showed strong opposition.

The usually gentle woman behaved uncharacteristically at this time. She first sat silently at the table, drinking the tea in the cup until it was empty, and then raised her head and put the empty cup to her mouth side.

Luo Te looked at her, inexplicably feeling strange, he turned his head and looked at Xia Youjie who had just returned.

Xia Youjie was expressionless. It took him a long time to smile and asked, "Mom, why?"

Xia Youjie's mother still raised the water glass, she held the empty teacup, pressed her lips tightly, and after a while, she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Jay." The woman sighed and said, "Your father's job is still here. Besides, we've lived in the town all our lives, so it's not good to leave rashly."

Xia Youjie said, "For work, isn't Tokyo better? Besides——"

Xia Youjie's mother interrupted him.

The woman frowned rarely. The sadness on her face hadn't disappeared since Xia Youjie brought up this matter. She sighed again and said, "Jie, we have reasons to stay here."

"Then, what about transferring to Lott?"

"It depends on what Lott thinks." Xia Youjie's mother turned her head, she smiled, and said, "But I think it's better for Lott to stay here. You two children may not be able to stay here. Can take care of myself."

Lot interjected inappropriately, and he said, "Okay."

Xia Youjie's mother looked at him and said, "Lotte, this is not something you can just say. It's like, you need to take medicine."

Luo Te lowered his head. He watched Xia Youjie's mother push the bottle over. The woman sighed and said, "Take your medicine according to the doctor's advice, Luo Te. When you get better, go to Tokyo with Jie."

"I see."

The negotiation finally came to nothing.

After Xia Youjie's mother left, Lott unscrewed the cap and swallowed a tablet.

Lotter said, "It's my fault, Jay."

Xia Youjie looked at him for a long time, then smiled softly, the smile looked a bit bitter, he rubbed Lotte's white hair, and said, "It's okay."

His voice was a little tired, as if he was about to be overwhelmed by something, and he could vaguely see the black and blue under his eyes, which was the trace left by not sleeping well.

Lot raised his eyes, and he lightly touched Xia Youjie's cheek with his hand. He asked, "Jie is working hard, right?"

"Fortunately."

Xia Youjie replied flatly. He turned his head and avoided Lott's palm without leaving a trace. Then, he grabbed the scarf next to him and said, "Let's go for a walk."

"it is good."

Shortly after summer, the onset of winter blankets the streets with snow.

However, the two of them were wearing the same scarf, which seemed to transmit the body temperature, so they didn't feel cold.

Lotte hooked Xia Youjie's finger with his gloved hand. When he was discovered, he raised his head and said, "Go to my house."

"it is good."

Xia Youjie lowered his head, he let out a sigh of relief.

As kids, they would go there every time they wanted to relax.

This is like their secret base.

Lot held the key, and he opened the garden door with some difficulty. With a "squeak", the iron door slid back a bit. Lot stepped on the snow to enter first. He raised his head and waited for Xia Youjie to come in .

Xia Youjie followed, he closed the iron gate, and then he strode forward.

Lott waited for him, trusted him, and even looked at him with unadulterated peace of mind and love.

The wooden door was pushed open, and the scene in the house was presented in front of them.Snow had fallen through the open windows and had wet large swaths of the floor.

Lotte ran to the living room as usual, and because of this action, the scarf hanging around his neck fell off.He turned on the TV and called Xia Youjie back.

Xia Youjie responded. He lowered his head and looked at the scarf held by his fingertips. There was still residual warmth on it. He inadvertently clenched his fingers tightly.

By the time Xia Youjie passed by, commercials were already playing on TV again, boring commercials, like the ones that everyone who wants to relax likes.

Junk food on the table, potato chips, Coke, things that relax.

But Xia Youjie couldn't laugh immediately, he sat beside Lott, sank himself into the sofa, and then he took a long breath.

Luo Te tore open the package of junk food, he reached out and picked up a piece in front of Xia Youjie, and said, "Eat it, you will feel better, Jie."

A childlike, clumsy form of comfort.

Xia Youjie took it, and he started to chew, but for some reason, the taste of potato chips became unpalatable, and it was at this time that he recalled the taste of the magic ball.

But in the end, he swallowed it, and smiled in front of Lott.

Xia Youjie said softly, "I'm just, a little tired."

Because of becoming stronger, he swallowed the magic spirit ball again and again, the purpose of becoming stronger, and now he can no longer distinguish the purpose of wanting to become stronger.

His previous beliefs were crushed when he saw the smiling faces of people gloating at that moment, and what still supports him now is Lott's words.

Am I doing the right thing because I am the strongest?Xia Youjie thought, he chewed these words carefully, but he lowered his eyes, even though he was desperately trying to absorb the magic spirit ball, to swallow the smell of the vomit-like magic spirit that he didn't like, He's not the strongest either.

Xia Youjie raised his head, he shook off these thoughts, at least for today, he thought, don't care about them.

"Jie has lost a lot of weight recently."

Lott came closer, he blinked at Xia Youjie, and asked, "Are you feeling better, Jie?"

Xia Youjie's arm was held, he smiled and said, "Yes."

Loud commercials were playing on the TV, potato chips were eaten piece by piece, and there was Coke.

This boring winter of junk food and commercials was the last winter they would spend together.

……

Since the beginning of spring, the curse spirits have been emerging continuously. For unknown reasons, it seems to be due to the frost disaster, or something else.

As a super conjurer, Xia Youjie, who was already capable of acting on his own, went out on missions alone.He kept expelling and absorbing. When he swallowed the magic ball, he was still not used to the taste and still wanted to vomit.

He held his throat and vomited at the sink, but only spit out a ball of clear water.

After rinsing his mouth, Xia Youjie raised his head, and he saw the figure in front of the mirror, a tired figure who had lost more weight.

As a strong man, he should protect the weak. He repeatedly chewed on his previous beliefs, but he could no longer think of any reason to become stronger for the monkey.

Xia Youjie looked at himself in the mirror, and in a daze, he saw the figure inside moving his lips, saying to himself that it was unnecessary.

Xia Youjie lowered his eyes, took out the box from his pocket, poured out a mint candy and swallowed it.

Fresh taste with a little sweetness.

Xia Youjie turned the box over. On the label on the back of the box, it was apple flavored.

Xia Youjie laughed softly. He lowered his head, stuffed the box back into his pocket, rinsed his face with cold water, and walked out again.

Xia Youjie was sitting on the bench in the lounge, his black hair was scattered, he raised his head when he heard footsteps around him, and saw the person walking towards him.

Xia Youjie asked, "Junior Huiyuan, are you going on a mission?"

"Yes!" Hui Yuanxiong's answer was very energetic. He smiled, stroked his hair, sat down on the bench, and asked, "The place is quite far away, and it's a place I haven't heard much about. The village. It doesn’t seem to be shown on the map.”

Xia Youjie let out a "hmm" and asked, "Do you want any drinks?"

"Just Coke! Thank you senior!"

As the can rolled down with a "gudong", Xia Youjie bent down to pick it up, and the wet moisture stuck to his fingertips, making them sticky.

"Give."

Hui Yuanxiong took it, he lifted the lid with his hand, took a big gulp, even hiccupped because of the bubbles, laughed again, and said thank you.

Xia Youjie looked at him and asked, "How is the conjurer doing? Can you continue to do it?"

Hui Yuanxiong took another sip of Coke, and he said bluntly: "It's okay! As a person like me, as long as I can do things, I will do my best. It feels really good to finish that way. In short, I like This feeling!"

Is that right?

In that case, wouldn't my thinking and hesitation be meaningless?Xia Youjie thought as he was thrown a can of Coke in his arms.

Xia Youjie raised his head, and he saw the woman standing in front of him.

"What kind of woman do you like, student Xia You?"

……

Hui Yuanxiong left first.

Xia Youjie took a sip of Coke, the sugar seemed to aggravate his abnormal mood, he frowned, and heard the root solution that 99 Youji said.

As long as everyone is a magician, there will be no magic spirits.

At this time, Xia Youjie raised his head and said, "Then, wouldn't it be enough to kill all ordinary people?"

"It does work, but—" 99 Yuki said, "I'm not that crazy."

99 Youji said with a smile: "In fact, even creating a crisis and forcing ordinary people to evolve in the direction of magicians is crazy enough."

Xia Youjie lowered his eyes, he looked at his fingers, and listened to 99 Youji saying goodbye to him.

Create a world without magic spirits, what kind of world will it be, is it good or bad?

In his mind at the moment, he favored that it would be a better world than it is now.

But, can the sins committed for justice be forgiven?

When he walked back to the room and opened the door, his thoughts were still muddy and intertwined.

There is no boundary between the dignity and ignorance of the weak, just as there is no difference between their unconscious evil and self-righteous right. Xia Youjie pressed the doorknob, frowned, and said to himself: "Monkey——"
