Suddenly become the strongest

I thought about it before, is it possible that the other party mistakenly thinks that we are really dating...

But since I only said at the very beginning that I pretended to be in a relationship when the body was swapped, and this person has no sense of boundaries, so I thought it was just because I had a little affection for the other party that I was overly sensitive. .

Even that slightly weird kiss... This guy has done similar things in the very beginning.

My attitude just now clearly showed that I don't think I'm in a relationship... So this "I know", should refer to "I know we're not in a relationship", right?

This should be considered the past, right?

But...why do I feel something is wrong?

Or rather, from the first moment I just met each other, I felt something was wrong.

Whether it's sending flowers, or the emotion shown by the other party, I feel very...

It's a pity that my stupefied mind has already missed the best time to ask the other party. Gojo Satoru has returned to his usual appearance, and started to talk about business: "Have you understood the [Sin Song] incident?"

I came back to my senses: "Well... I can probably understand. Can you find the mother body according to the filth of the mantra?"

"There are already hundreds, maybe thousands, of infected people in this city, and it is difficult to track them based on the filth...so it is best to have bait." Gojo Satoru said and looked at me, "Maybe this matter is also Need your help."

"You mean Shizuo, right?" I sighed, and put my hand on my forehead, "Okay, I'll try to contact him later... Hmm? What's your expression?"

"It's nothing..." The other party put away the surprise on his face, "I thought you wouldn't agree..."

"What are you talking about? Shizuo is not the kind of Riko who needs to be protected, he is very strong." I glanced at him inexplicably, and then called Shizuo Heiwajima.

The phone went through, but no one answered.I suspected that it might be the time for the other party to run away again, so I sent an email to the other party after hanging up the phone.

"Fixed! Let's see when he replies to me." I looked up at Gojo Satoru after typing with one hand, put the phone back in the bag, and changed the other hand to hold the bouquet, "How did you know that I like hydrangeas?" ?”

The other party frowned all of a sudden, and clicked his tongue silently, with a feeling of disgust: "From a person with malicious intentions."

"what?"

"Let's not talk about this, why do you like hydrangeas?"

"Because I was born in summer and I like summer, right? Besides, hydrangeas are very cute, and the colors are not fixed. There are many varieties, and you can grow them to your favorite color... I have grown a lot of them in my home. You can buy them someday. ..."

My words "you can come to my house some other day" stuck in my throat and stopped.

Oops, that's a bit smooth to say.

"Huh? What can I do?"

"...It's nothing, I can take a photo for you some other day."

Gojo Satoru didn't intend to let me put it off, he pointed at me and said, "Wait a minute, you just said [you], right? Did you change your words temporarily?"

"Don't stick to this kind of thing." When I was about to think of some excuse, the email notification sounded on my phone.

I subconsciously touched my phone and took it out to have a look—ah, it’s not mine...

I looked at Gojo Satoru, who was looking down at his phone... Then a few seconds later, he looked at me and said in an inexplicable tone: "Jie Heping and Shimao Shima are fighting."

Me: "...Hey——!?"

-

I always thought that Xia Youjie should be the calmer type.

Now it seems that it should be because Gojo Satoru is too escaped, which gave me the illusion in comparison.

When Gojo Satoru and I rushed to the scene, we found that there were not just two people, but three—and a woman in black and wearing a yellow helmet.

I saw people's eyes light up - that is the living urban legend of Ikebukuro, the Headless Horseman!

Uh... wait, I thought it was just a rumor before, but now I have seen curses, curse spirits and conjurers, so this headless horseman is...

"Wu, is that headless horseman a curse spirit?" I asked in a low voice.

"No." Gojo Satoru showed a thoughtful expression after finishing speaking, "But she does have no head."

...I don't know how many surprises there are in Ikebukuro?

If I had moved away from Ikebukuro when I was not in kindergarten, my life trajectory might be different now.

If I think that way, my ideal is not to be a lawyer or a judge, but to go into politics and become the mayor of Ikebukuro.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation is a three-person melee.

It could be seen that Shizuo Heiwajima and Xia Youjie were fighting, and the headless horseman was trying to get them to truce...of course it didn't work.

It can also be seen that Xia Youjie has kept his hands... Maybe he has some scruples.

I was thinking about how to stop this situation, which was obviously a fight between my own people, when the white-haired boy beside me had already stepped forward.

"Wait, Wu..."

"Isn't it just to let these two people stop, just leave it to me!"

After a moment of silence, I asked, "No...I just wanted to ask, did you remember to release the account after you made such a big commotion?"

Gojo Satoru: "...Ah."

……Knew it.

Forget it, the people of Ikebukuro are used to this anyway, this is just a small scene.

In the dollars forum, the phenomenon of Ikebukuro's strange talk is already a post about daily water experience.

-

Half an hour later, the few of us were seated at Lucia's sushi restaurant again.

Simon saw me for the second time today, he seemed very enthusiastic, and said that this time it was half price.

But since it's too late and I don't eat, Gojo Satoru doesn't eat sour food, the headless horseman can't eat without a head... Maybe Shizuo Heiwajima and Xia Youjie can still eat a little.

After I was seated, I first introduced the two people on my side, and then the headless horseman introduced himself by typing quickly with a PDA.

The name of this headless horseman is Celty, and his identity is [Fairy]. He is currently staying in Ikebukuro because he wants to find his lost head. Yes, the headless horseman is not headless, but the head is separated from the body. , which is equivalent to living with the head up all the time...and then the head was stolen.

Today's thieves really dare to steal anything!Too rampant!

"But Celty, are you sure your head is in Ikebukuro?"

【Well, I can vaguely feel it. ] Celti communicated with us, 【I felt very close the previous time. 】

"Before?" I thought about it and guessed, "Is it the Dollars rally half a year ago?"

Celty's body language looked surprised: [Yes, that's it!How did you know? 】

Shizuo Heiwajima was still there recommending me: "I just said that Miyamura is very smart, right? You can also ask her to help you see where your head is."

I was still a little puzzled: "Why didn't you let Celti come to me before?"

Shizuo Heiwajima's face was blank for a moment: "Ah...forgot."

"...As expected of you." I admired and changed the subject, "Let's talk about this later, let's talk about the slasher first... In fact, the slasher is not a human being, but a demon sword .”

After I finished speaking, the two people on the opposite side showed no surprise expressions.

Shizuo Heiwajima pointed at Celti and said, "Ah, Celti has already told me."

Xia Youjie, who had been quiet all this time, also spoke up: "Miss Celty, how do you know?"

Celti seemed a little awkward and hesitant, and finally, as if embarrassed, he typed out a line: [Because that knife was sold by my boyfriend's father. 】

After a long silence, the three of me, Gojo Wu, and Xia Youjie showed shock and astonishment at the same time, and uttered a syllable in unison: "Ha——!?"

To be honest, we originally wanted to find Shizuo Heiwajima as bait.

The fight between Xia Youjie Heping and Shimao Shima was only when Xia You found out that Celty was not a human being and chased after the headless horseman riding a black motorcycle. Celty was not very courageous in nature, so he sped up and ran, and finally caught up Shizuo misunderstood that it was bad for Celti, so he made a move, just say it.

But we never expected that tonight, the biggest breakthrough would be here.

Although……

"Hey? Miss Celty, you have a human boyfriend? Is this a human being?"

Xia Youjie and I kept smiling, and each of us gave Wujo Wu an elbow.

But in fact, after knowing the big news...it's useless.

Because according to Celty, her boyfriend's father sold the knife to the antique dealer "Sonoharado"...that is, the couple who were killed by the slasher five years ago.

I had a vague guess, but I didn't say it.

Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru were still discussing with Shimao Shima Heping about letting him be a bait for a while.

Shizuo was very surprised that something fell in love with him, even if it was just a knife, he was also surprised.

I felt quite worried when I heard it, and decided to pick a suitable time to tell him that the big sister he was obsessed with at the time was my mother, and then asked my mother to call him, at least to resolve a knot in my heart.

After this, if it is according to the previous one, I should be involved... But there was a subtle episode between tonight, and the two of them didn't intend to let me participate...

What's more, I have classes early tomorrow morning.

The astral body incident is because I was kidnapped and involved in it.It was also because of the swap...

"I have roughly understood the reason why we exchanged." The white-haired boy beside me said, "I will solve this matter."

Startled, I turned to look at him.Originally, I wanted to ask a lot, but when I met the other party's Cangtong, I got stuck again, and after a long silence, I simply hummed.

"But I won't take back what I said before that I will protect you."

I was taken aback: "Actually, you don't have to..."

"This is not a good thing for you." The white-haired boy laughed, with a hint of complacency in his tone, "This is my restraint on you."

... bondage?

I looked at him, didn't ask, but said another way: "Usually wear glasses, it's a heavy burden on the eyes. Aren't you trying a new method that can open the spell with no lower limit around the clock? It will be very tiring Yes, be kind to your brain."

"Oh." Gojo Satoru was silent for a while, and then asked again, "Am I being obedient now?"

"...Huh?" I withdrew my gaze, "Hmm...you're quite obedient."

-

I feel like I don't know what to do now.

Without similar experience, I feel that books on this topic are not reliable.

I can't even talk to my mother, because she and my father have been arguing frequently since I was in elementary school, and they have been separated since I went to college.

I even asked my mother what she thinks about love in order to help Nozaki collect materials. I remember the other party's answer at the time was...

[Because my first love is your father, and I have you to see... As someone who has experienced it, my suggestion is to have more romantic relationships, be sure to wear condoms, and never drop your studies for men , the conclusion is that men are unreliable. 】

The last sentence is what my mother has been telling me since elementary school.

"I thought about it carefully... I do have a crush on Gojo Satoru for the opposite sex."

【...Well, Xiao Yangcai, if I'm not mistaken, are you talking to me?Who is this Gojo Satoru? 】

"Stop pretending to me, do you know that the existence of the magic world doesn't know Gojo Satoru? Speaking of him, something is wrong today, maybe it has something to do with you?"

【Are you treating me as the root of all evil?I'm so wronged——]

I sneered: "You are responsible for all the strange and incomprehensible incidents that happened in Ikebukuro. Nine out of ten times it is accurate, and one time may be caused by you unintentionally."

【You really deserve to be Xiaojing's anonymous breeder. 】

Me: "..." Is this pet name implemented?

Orihara Lin also had a cadenced voice on the other end of the phone: 【If you want to confess, you should also find the person involved, right?Calling me in the middle of the night I thought I was the lucky one, it’s so sad——]

"If this kind of thing can be said so frankly to the person concerned, then love will not become so many people's troubles and problems." I put my hand on my chin and murmured, "Ah... so Come to think of it, apprehension and hesitation are indeed one of the manifestations of love."

【...To be honest, I'm starting to feel a little sick now. ] Orihara Rinya's tone changed, 【But according to what I know about you, Xiaoyangna, it is impossible for you to associate with a magician. 】

"...You are really annoying."

[Because the truth is always annoying.What's more, I think Gojo Gojo likes only your appearance...]

"I know, you want to say that Gojo Satoru's affection for me is only due to his illusion given by the tolerance I showed in the body swap incident. In fact, once I have a strong desire to control people I know Knowing that the other party will want to stay away from me, right?"

【Um?What body swap event?I do not know how? 】

I said in a gentle tone: "Flea, don't be stubborn."

Orihara Rinya: […]

Although the desire to control, I actually tried my best to restrain it and changed a lot...

At this point, I even have to thank Orihara Rinya.

The time when I met the other party back then, I suddenly realized that I and the other party had a strong desire to control the status quo and the people around me, and it made me vigilant - and I didn't even know my control Whether desire is better or worse, Orihara Rin is also aimed at all human beings, and mine is aimed at people close to me.

It can even be said that the closer I am to the person, the more serious my problem will be.

And...my desire to control is not aimed at a single person, nor is it to try to change and manipulate the other person...but I want to know and understand everything around the other person, and eliminate unstable factors.

It’s like Nozaki still doesn’t know that the editor in charge who always brought private goods to him to draw civet cats in the beginning was removed by my complaint, and I replaced him with a reliable new editor, which is now Brother Jian. .

So... If I really associate with Gojo Satoru... I can't help but attack the Gojo family, those idiots at the top of the magic world, and even the whole magic world.

Because I don't like the existence of so many uncontrollable factors that are unfavorable to my lover.

He is too involved with these things, and to a certain extent, these are his drags and restrictions on his existence... But the point is, these things, if the other party did not trust me completely, I would be alone It is simply impossible.

And if it fails... I don't think I can afford the consequences.

Both psychologically and practically.

Unless... I do this first, and stand beside him as an equal.

But it feels so tiring... Do I really have to do this?When you can't even be sure how much the other party likes me?I also feel like I'm just a likable part now...

I thought for a while, and felt that I had persuaded myself, sighed, and said sincerely to the phone: "Thank you, Orihara Rinya, although you are indeed a bad person and I hate you, but at this moment As far as I'm concerned, you're a nice guy. Thanks!"

Orihara Rinya: [...Huh? 】

I didn't explain too much, hung up the phone after thanking me, put down the phone, and felt much better.

"Ah...Speaking of which, he never said he likes me." I thought for a while, smiled, and pulled out a book from the shelf, "Forget it."

-

But... Although I have made this decision, I still have to take care of the affairs of Ikebukuro.

"Qihai, do you want to form a team with me?" I asked when I showed Qihai the revised report.

Jianren Qihai was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What?"

I explained: "Just treat it as an extra-curricular exercise. Follow me to see how I used ordinary people's methods to solve the sin song incident this time and find the special-level cursed sin song. We can also experiment to see if it is Wujo Wutiao The combination of Xia Youjie and Xia Youjie, two super conjurers, is powerful, and it is faster to solve it with ordinary people's methods."

"Okay." Jianren Qihai responded immediately, looking quite interested, "I think this will be a very meaningful event!"

"Okay!" After I answered with a smile, I pretended to ask tentatively casually, "Next is my question... The word [bound] has a special meaning for conjurers, right? I heard it before. I said it was the sky and the curse... Can a conjurer restrain a single person? How wide is the scope of this restraint?"

Jianren Qihai: "Ah, is this a new topic?"

Me: "...um! Yes!"
