The curse spirit always wants to push me to the throne

"I am back."

On this day, I accidentally practiced my supernatural ability and forgot the time, mob carefully opened the curtain and said in a low voice.

It was getting late outside now.

In the past, Huahuo would definitely stand aggressively at the door, stare at him, and say something like complaining that he came back too late, worrying about being in danger.

But strangely not today.

Not only that, but the others didn't seem to come back either.

Mob blinked, the room was a little dark, he walked in in the dark, and saw Huahuo as if he was messing with something alone.

"Miss Huahuo?"

"Wow!" The girl let out a scream, turned her head suddenly, and was relieved when she saw that it was mob, "Don't scare me by making a sudden noise!"

"I'm sorry." Shigeo Kageyama apologized obediently, and tilted his head, "What are you doing?"

Hanabi hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to reveal a wad of yen taken out from the old pillow.

"money?"

"It was accumulated by everyone." Hanabi signaled mob to sit over and light it, and took the dim light bulb over to light it, and the warm starlight illuminated the girl's eyes, "It's the money to buy medicine for Akutagawa."

Kageyama Shigeo remembered that Akutagawa Ryunosuke often coughed.

"Mob also found out, Akutagawa, he is not in good health, and it is very difficult every winter." Hanabi sat upright and softened his voice, "These are the money that everyone saved spontaneously. If there is medicine, I can let him Feel better."

"If it wasn't for us, Akutagawa wouldn't be so uncomfortable."

"Why do you say that?" Mob tilted his head.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Huahuo didn't seem to want to bring up this topic, "Mob has also been invited by other organizations recently."

Shigeo Kageyama thought about it, and recently there were indeed some inexplicable people who suddenly stopped him on the road, and of course he declined their invitations.

'My mother said that you can't walk with strangers you don't know on the road. '

Every time he said that, the faces of those strangers were very strange, but Mob didn't think there was anything wrong, he would go home sooner or later, and of course he would not join those weird organizations.

"Many armed organizations are recruiting people with supernatural powers. If you join those organizations, you will soon gain certain status and money." Huahuo tightly clutched the cloth bag in his hand, "Akutagawa, he didn't join because of us. So that's all we can do."

Mob was stunned for a long time, as if something was touched deep in his heart: "...that must be Akutagawa's inner thoughts."

"what?"

"Although I don't know, it must be what Akutagawa wants to be with everyone." Mob stammered, not knowing what he was talking about, "Because it is very happy to be with everyone, it is family, So I"

"Pfft~" Huahuo covered her mouth and chuckled, "mob, he is a clumsy kid who can't even speak nice words."

"……sorry."

"It's okay, it's better to say that this is good." Huahuo bent down and touched the child's lid, "Mob will definitely be a reliable boy when he grows up, a good man who will never lie to girls with flattering words."

Shigeo Kageyama's entire face turned red.

"Okay, I know what mob wants to say, and I'm right, it will definitely get better and better in the future." Huahuo burst into a cheerful smile, "Christmas is coming soon, and the remaining money can be used to buy some food And a small gift, look forward to it!"

"Ok!"

"Then can I entrust you with the procurement task?"

"Procurement?" Mob pointed to himself, "Me? Can I do it? I don't know the route outside."

"It's okay, I'll draw you a simple map when the time comes." Hanabi said, "Among us, you and Akutagawa are the only ones out there to go shopping. I feel relieved. We want to give Akutagawa a surprise, please!"

Huahuo has said so, and mob no longer refuses.

Bringing a simple map drawn by his companion, Shigeo Kageyama embarked on the road of shopping alone.

Wanting to go to pharmacies and supermarkets is definitely out of the confines of the ghetto.Kageyama Shigeo was not familiar with the nearby roads, but luckily he had a map so he wouldn't get lost.

Just after leaving the slum area, the familiar Christmas music penetrated into my ears, and the playful and warm music seemed to warm the cold of the whole winter night. The shops on the street were brightly lit, and neatly dressed people flocked on the street Laughing.

Kageyama Shigeo let out a breath, and the warm air quickly turned into water mist in the cold temperature, and a little confusion appeared in his eyes inadvertently.

Compared with the cold and lonely slums, here is a world of two.

It's incredible, obviously in a city.

Kageyama Shigeo's nose felt cold, and he slowly felt that the sky was snowing. He wrapped the worn scarf around his neck tightly, and ran towards his destination. He didn't bring an umbrella when he went out, so he had to complete the purchases before the heavy snow fell. .

Under the patient eyes of the pharmacy staff, after stumbling and buying the medicine that Huahuo ordered, he went to a nearby convenience store to continue purchasing.

The heating in the store dispels the cold brought by the outside.

Kageyama Shigeo coveted the warmth here for a second, and then walked slowly towards the daily necessities. When the purchases were almost done, he counted the remaining money and turned to the snack area, because Miss Hanabi said that all the money would When the flowers are over, everyone have a good Christmas.

However, it is not easy to find cheap candies with small quantities.

While Shigeo Kageyama was trying to search, a voice came hesitantly from the side.

"Muff?"

Kageyama Mofu paused, looked up at the young man with reddish-brown hair, and quickly searched for this person from his memory: "Mr. Oda."

He quickly became uneasy. He sneaked away from the police station at the beginning, so he won't be caught back, right?

Fortunately, what Kageyama was worried about didn't happen. Oda Sakunosuke didn't care about the reason why Kageyama escaped, and calmly looked down at the label in front of Kageyama: "Come to buy some snacks?"

"Uh, um..."

"How are you doing now?"

This sudden turning point stunned Shigeo Kageyama, and he paused for a few seconds before nodding: "I'm fine."

"That's good." Oda Sakunosuke said flatly, "You left in a hurry, and I was always worried about your situation. We may have had some misunderstandings when we were at the police station before. I never said that I would send you to the orphanage. In fact, If you have nowhere to go, you can come to me."

Kageyama Shigeo was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was going to adopt him: "...Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a place to go back to."

And he never gave up the idea of ​​going home, how could he accept another family.

"That's it, forget it." Oda Sakunosuke accepted the fact calmly without any reluctance.

Silence fell between the two again.

It took a long time for Shigeo Kageyama to realize that he hadn't thanked this person yet: "By the way, thank you very much for your help last time, and I'm very sorry for escaping from the police station without authorization."

"Oh, it's okay."

Silence again.

The two who were not very good at chatting managed to freeze the atmosphere. Fortunately, Shigeo Kageyama concentrated on looking for snacks, and had already found what he could pay with his own money. He happily ran to the checkout with a bunch of cheap snacks.

In this way, the last bit of money is also used up, and you can go back.

"Wait a minute." Oda Sakunosuke chased after him from the convenience store, took out a few candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Shigeo Kageyama's palm, "Take this, Merry Christmas."

After all, he braved the snow and returned to the convenience store.

Kageyama Shigeo looked down at the warm candies in his hand, and waved vigorously to Sakunosuke Oda: "Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too!"

The trip wasn't all bad, and he met a lot of kind people.

After Christmas, we should say goodbye to them.
