attack on rotten oranges

After a few days, Xia Youjie learned from Wenbu Masaki that the massacre of red-haired children in the city was only caused by a few scratches on the car of the head of Mafia at the port.

Such a slight offense aroused the fury of the arrogant. Under the monstrous anger and pure black violence, human life was as insignificant as a mustard.

Ten years ago, Yokohama was blood-red. Gunpowder smoke and mourning made the sky over the city forever shrouded in haze, and it seemed that there would never be a clear sky.

Compared with adults, children who walk on the streets of Yokohama will face greater dangers - young girls, organ trading, human experiments... Even Masaki Bunbe, a second-level magician, dare not bet that he can survive the chaos. Protect Bunbu Shuhei.

Therefore, when his father went out to work as a new mercenary, the young Bunbu Shuhei would stay in the rented apartment, hide among the debris, lean against the load-bearing wall, and read a book in silence for a day.

Shuhei, the Ministry of Education, is very quick at reading and can already recognize many commonly used characters. He doesn't struggle with new words that he doesn't understand in the book. He just skips them and guesses their general meaning based on the upper and lower sentences at most.

However, even so, Shuhei Bunbu read a lot of books and gained a lot of messy knowledge—and this is mainly due to Masaki Bunbu.When the father found out that the child was interested in reading, he checked all the books in the apartment, and eventually replaced them with popular science of various subjects.

But Xia Youjie was very skeptical that reading those "genes", "biological instincts", "universe expansion", "social group consciousness" to Shuhei Bunbube who was still a child...was really meaningful.But neither father nor son seemed to have any opinion on this.

So Shuhei's daily routine was fixed in this way.

But today, Bunbu Shuhei's reading state was obviously wrong - after picking up the book, the boy stared at the cover for a long time without making any further moves.

Xia Youjie took a closer look and saw that it was "Human Anatomy" with detailed illustrations, and on the cover was a colorful anatomical diagram.

The tragic scene on the day of the accident flashed before his eyes, and Xia Youjie was worried that the book would cause the boy to have a stressful reaction.He bent over and stood beside Shuhei Bunbube, observing with trepidation.

After a while, the boy finally had a reaction—he put down the book, walked quickly to the bathroom, and then vomited out everything in his stomach.

The young Bunbu Shuhei curled up weakly, with an anatomy book next to him, with physiological tears in the corners of his eyes.

Xia Youjie put his hand on the boy's forehead.And they can't touch each other, they can't perceive each other, what separates them is the past and present that can never get closer.

Xia Youjie withdrew his hand, feeling powerless again—even if he could comfort the boy in front of him now, the past of his friend Bunbu Shuhei had already been set and could not be changed.

After about 10 minutes, the boy forced himself to sit up, and then picked up the book that caused him strong rejection...

The colorful cover of the anatomy book passed through Xia Youjie's outstretched arm without hesitation. The boy lowered his eyes and opened the first page.

Unlike when he was flipping through picture books with a carefree smile, after coming to Yokohama, Shuhei Bunbu did not show any unnecessary expressions when he was alone.

Xia Youjie squatted down in front of Wenbu Shuhei.From this angle, you can see the boy's eyelashes fluttering greatly, which shows that the boy is far less calm than his expression.

With the prolongation of reading time, Xia Youjie found that the boy's eyes stayed on a few pages for a long time-these were blood circulation, respiratory system and human abdominal cavity.

Why?Xia Youjie was puzzled, he couldn't see anything attractive in these few pages, not to mention that Shuhei Bunbu now had to try his best to overcome the psychological pressure to read.

Xia Youjie was puzzled until the boy raised his hand, and drew a diagonal line on the side of his neck - that is where the carotid artery and jugular vein are distributed, and the trachea, which is also vital, is located deeper.

It was the place where Shuhei Bunbube's older sister was fatally wounded.

What was Shuhei Bunbu, who was reading a book, thinking?What kind of mood did he have when he explored the cause of his sister's death?Xia Youjie couldn't guess.

All he knew was that this was not the life a five-year-old should have.

And what did Xia Youjie look like when he was five years old?He couldn't remember.But Xia Youjie is sure that his childhood, apart from being able to see "monsters" invisible to his parents, and confiding fears as children's fantasies, was generally peaceful and peaceful.

Now, there was another gunshot outside the window.

This area is full of outsiders who have just entered Yokohama like Masaki Bunbu and his son, mixed with fugitives, mercenaries, and supernatural beings who are eager to find opportunities.Therefore, conflicts erupted more frequently.

However, Xia Youjie was relieved for Shuhei Bunbu that Masaki Bunbu had no plans to stay here for a long time——

Although renting an apartment, the father and son have always carried the really important things with them or kept them in their backpacks. They are like stray birds, ready to start their next wandering at any time.

Several hours later, the boy finally put down the anatomy textbook, his face turned pale due to both mental and physical resistance.But even the young Bunbu Shuhei showed the stubbornness of ten years later: even if there are difficulties and obstacles, he will force himself until he achieves what he wants to do.

But now, the boy does not have many means in the future, so he can only compete with himself.

He put the book aside, and habitually reached for the plush magic spirit...

But Shuhei Bunbe only grabbed a soft pillow.

Holding the pillow, the boy bit his lower lip, and finally hugged the pillow and buried his face in it.

He just remembered that just yesterday, his sister's curse spirit suddenly showed long-accumulated weakness, and was even weak enough to ignore physical obstacles.

The father's explanation is that Yokohama refuses the creation of the curse, and the curse that enters this place will continue to be weakened.

In order to keep his sister's spell spirit, Wenbu Shuhei had to ask his father to seal it back into the spell used by his sister.

Yokohama rejects the curse spirit... Shuhei Bunbe gently pressed his chest.

If I continue to live in Yokohama, my sister will never get the chance to go out for activities...

***

Masaki Wenbu gained a place in Yokohama as a "supernatural person who can manipulate paper".He has become a free mercenary who only pursues interests and does not obey orders from any organization. Although suitable tasks are limited, at least he can avoid being involved in the chaos of various forces.

They also obtained new identities - Masaki Bunbu casually filled in the new surname of "Sato" in the form.

After Bunbu Masaki's work "stabilized", the father and son quickly moved out of the chaotic apartment building and moved into a small house in the suburbs where the underground forces did not need to fight hard.

Xia Youjie is very pleased that Shuhei, the Ministry of Education, has a temporarily stable and safe daily life.

However, after settling down, the boy's problems finally couldn't be concealed...

Xia Youjie and Bunbu Masaki discovered almost at the same time that Bunbu Shuhei had an extremely strong stress disorder to sweetness.The boy resisted all sweet food, and even if he forced himself to swallow it, he would eventually vomit it out...

"Don't worry, Dad." Bunbu Shuhei comforted his father instead, "I don't like sweets very much."

little liar.Xia Youjie thought, on the morning of the accident, Wenbu Shuhei shared candy with his sister.

However, for such a lie, it is cruel to expose it.

Xia Youjie noticed that the lights in the living room were on for a long time that night.

Bunbu Masaki, this man who was burdened with responsibility and hatred at the same time, with red eyes, slowly ate the wagashi he bought for his son, and then wiped the weapon again and again...

The next day, Masaki Bunbu went out to work early, and the snacks left on the table for Shuhei Bunbe turned into a plate of salty senbei.

……

In the fourth month after Masaki Bunbu and his son defected to the world of magic, Shuhei Bunbu's spell awakened.

Xia Youjie witnessed the scene where all the words on the books around Shuhei Bunbu were transformed into incantations, and finally separated from the paper and soared into the air.

This is the ancestral technique of the Bunbu family - [Spell Manipulation].

But Shuhei Bunbu was not excited, and Masaki Bunbu was not happy either.

The man just said: "Remember to read the book." He left in a hurry.

And this kind of attitude, after Masaki Bunbu couldn't help but drink for himself that night, and finally got drunk, got an explanation——

"It would be nice if you were born half a year earlier! Shuhei! It would be nice to wake up half a year earlier! Shuhei!"

The man cried at his desk like a child.

"Satoru's most enviable thing is his early winter birthday." Shuhei Bunbube's words in the hot spring suddenly rang in Xia Youjie's ears.

If half a year in advance...

If it had been half a year earlier, Shuhei Bunbu would have received all the attention of the Bunbu family, and the Bunbu family would have spared no effort to protect the Bunbu Masaki family...

If so, will everything not happen?

Thinking of all this, Xia Youjie hurriedly looked at the expression of the young Bunbu Shuhei.

The accident obviously had nothing to do with any of the victims, but such an "if" puts the responsibility on Shuhei Bunbu for no reason.

The boy hugged the pillow, he still couldn't fully control his spells, and there were still spells floating around him.

He just walked over to the table and put away the bottle on tiptoe.

"Father, you are drunk." He gently pushed his father, who was drunk after crying bitterly, "Clean up and go to bed early."

Did Shuhei Bunbu at that time realize what his father was talking about?Xia Youjie hoped not.

But even ten years later, Shuhei Bunbu was still envious of a winter birthday.

Shuhei Bunbu in the hot spring was just lamenting unintentionally. He seemed to understand that "if" is the most useless thing in reality.

But ten years ago, did this "what if" hurt a child deeply?

The young Bunbu Shuhei, after pushing his father into the bedroom, sat in front of a messy table in the restaurant all night holding the plush mantra substitute.

Xia Youjie was very worried that all this would aggravate the boy's psychological shadow.

And the next morning, under Xia Youjie's shocked gaze, Bunbu Shuhei took out Bunbu Yue's sleeping spell, and said to his father who had just walked out of the bedroom——

"Father, I have already awakened from the spell."

"Can I accept my sister's body?"

The author has something to say:

Friends, don't blame Xiuping's father.

Although he was shirking responsibility, it was because the Shuhei technique allowed him to see a new "if" plus after being drunk.On weekdays, the "if" he regrets more is "if he didn't go on a mission that day, but was at home with his wife", and the object of resentment is himself.

A little knowledge that Cuckoo Whale hopes everyone will never use——

Shuhei read with his back against the load-bearing wall in the chaotic apartment building.The load-bearing wall is the most solid part of the building. If there is an accident such as an earthquake and explosion, and the time is urgent and it is impossible to escape, it is best to look for the load-bearing wall to escape.

Also, the last chapter... a knife? (Cuckoo Whale doubts the life of the whale)

In the previous chapters, there weren’t so many friends shouting swords?That's the chapter where someone dies!

Cuckoo Whale felt that the last chapter was quite...peaceful?
