I can't see the magic spirit, I'm fighting against the air every day

No. 07 Survival [-]

Hana makes a new friend.

An elf the size of a human palm, with a small flower on his head, who wrapped himself up like a little mummy.

Elves, a kind, beautiful and innocent, are deeply loved by nature, but gradually disappear with the destruction of nature by human beings, and are almost extinct.

Although he is a curse spirit, Hua Yu, whose aura is very close to that of an elf, never thought that one day he would be able to see a real elf.

And this elf named Huahuazi has become a "friend" with it.

The two of them, one born from the love of nature, and the other born from the fear of human beings, are almost completely opposite existences, but they have become friends.

"friend……"

Just putting these two words in his mouth and chewing repeatedly, the corners of Huayu's lips raised uncontrollably, and a happy emotion grew in his heart.

Compared with the elves, the appearance of Hua Yu, who is a curse spirit, is not so beautiful.

Branches protrude from the eye sockets, black lines spread all over the body, the left arm is dark and has the ability to absorb plant life and convert it into mana, and there is a huge ominous flower bud on the left shoulder.The mouth without lips reveals fine teeth and gums, which looks hideous.

When it was first born, Huayu couldn't control its own strength very well, and its left arm would absorb the vitality of plants unintentionally, so Huayu wrapped it with the flower buds with a huge white cloth, as if it had no left arm, bulging, looking It's even more strange.

His new friend didn't mind, though, and expressed obvious concern about his left arm.

Patting the white cloth that Huayu wrapped her left arm, Huahuazi also shook the little flower on top of her head, indicating that it would be more comfortable for Huayu to let the little flower out.

Hua Yu just smiled "sinisterly" at this.

Huahuazi thought for a while, motioned to Huayu to wait for her, then jumped off Huayu's body, and disappeared into the woods.

Although Huahuazi is small in size, she can move freely in the forest. Even in the tall grass, these plants will naturally give way to her.

"This is the elf that nature loves."

Being able to see elves is almost the most "beautiful" thing that Huayu has encountered since her birth.

Naturally, Hua Yu would not obediently wait for Hua Huazi to come back, but followed Hua Huazi lightly and far away, wanting to see what Hua Huazi was going to do.

Then he saw Huahuazi running out from the deep mountain and entering the courtyard of a human family in the mountain.

Humanity……

Huayu stood on the big tree in the distance, watching the human yard through the gaps in the branches.

In the yard there is a young human male who is resting in the shade of a tree, lying on a couch.

The little elf who came to the human yard saw the resting human, and was not afraid, but rushed towards the human with great enthusiasm.

Yes, "rush" past.

Even standing at a distance, Hana Yu could feel the emotion of intertwined happiness and trust.

The human smiled and stretched out his hand to let Huahuazi jump to his hand, and then put Huahuazi on his chest.

Huahuazi gestured to the human being, and she didn't know how much the human being could understand, but the human being still smiled and patiently read it.

Halfway through, the humans resting in the yard felt something, suddenly hugged Hua Huazi, frowned and looked around but saw nothing.

Huahuazi, who played with humans for a while, wanted to do what she wanted to do before, but was taken back home by humans forcefully, and closed the door.

Hana Yu, who was standing on the branch far away, stared at the human house for a long time but did not see Hua Hanako coming out, and finally turned and left.

When he left, even he himself didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The curse spirits born from the fear of human beings are filled with negative emotions most of the time. These negative emotions make them hate human beings and take actions that hurt human beings.

Compared with other spell spirits, the "peaceful" Hana Yu is almost a different kind.

But this is only relative.

After Huayu left, Tianhe Chaosheng, who hid with Huahuazi, was relieved.

The inexplicable uneasiness finally subsided, and if it continued, he would run away with Huahuazi and grandpa.

He opened the door and carefully looked towards the yard and outside.

The whole world is as usual, the bright sunshine shines on the layers of green shade in the mountains, and when the wind blows, it brings up waves of branches and leaves, as if the whole mountain comes alive.

The little Huahuazi also imitated Tianhe Chaosheng, looking out carefully, although it didn't know what Tianhe Chaosheng was looking at.

Tianhe Chaosheng, who was sure of his safety, walked out of the house, feeling a little confused.

The sense of anxiety this time is very strange...

It wasn't the feeling of urgently urging him to run for his life, but it seemed to indicate that some kind of horrible thing existed around, telling him to stay away.

Looks like he really needs to get ready to leave soon.

Tianhe Chaosheng knelt down and rubbed two handfuls of flowers to suppress his shock.

I don't know what happened at all, but the little flower on the head of Huahuazi who was very happy to be rubbed shook, and hugged Tianhe Chaosheng's finger, and then it abandoned its "old father" and ran away Go to the house and drag a lot of bandages out.

Grandpa and Tianhe Zhaosheng bought a lot of bandages in order to "dress up" Hua Huazi.

After going through all the fancy bandages and getting back to basics, the ones I bought later turned into plain white bandages.

It's not that Grandpa and Tianhe Chaosheng are too lazy to pick bandages with patterns, but...pure white bandages are easier to paint on.

Yes, the bandages worn by Huahuazi today have all become "specially customized".

For example, the bandage on Huahuazi's body today was painted by Tianhe Chaosheng on the back with a flower of the same style as that on her forehead. Tianhe Chaosheng also specially made a "fairy stick" with a small flower for her.

When Huahuazi was holding it, she also had a bit of a magical girl's smell, but she didn't know where the fairy wand was thrown by Huahuazi.

The bandages dragged out by Huahuazi were of all kinds, with all kinds of patterns. It waved to Tianhe Zhaosheng, and then dragged a large bag that could hold more than a dozen of it and ran away.

The abandoned "old father" Tianhe Zhaosheng could only shout behind Huahuazi: "Be careful, go home early!"

Since Huahuazi "awakened" the ability of not knowing what it is, Tianhe Zhaosheng discovered that Huahuazi might be safer when she is in nature.

Hua Hanako, who was dragging a big bag of bandages, returned to the place where she asked Hana Yu to wait for her. After having sex for a long time, Hua Hanako looked up and saw that she was still sitting there, but her head was lowered as if she was in a low mood. Hanao didn't know what she was thinking.

Hua Hanako greeted Hana Yu happily, and Hana Yu...

He stared in surprise at Hua Huazi who was dragging a big bag and running towards him with two short legs.

Hanako...

came back……

it thought...

It thought that Huahuazi would not come back to look for it again.

Although it is unbelievable, this is indeed an elf who is very close to humans, but it is a curse spirit.

"Hua Huazi..." Hua Yu made a voice with unknown meaning, but it could be understood by other intelligent creatures, "You are back."

Hua Huazi circled around Hua Yu, shaking her little head non-stop, the way she pinched her waist perfectly expressed her dislike for Hua Yu's current appearance.

Huayu, who was disgusted, didn't know what to say for a while.

Since its birth, no one has ever cared about how it looks and what it should be.

To humans, it is just a dangerous curse spirit, but to curse spirits...

It is only a powerful super magic spirit.

When Huayu was a little bit at a loss, Huahuazi untied the white cloth wrapped around Huayu's arms by herself, and held her left hand under Huayu's shocked gaze.

Hua Hanako's movements were too fast, when Hana Yu realized what Hua Hanako had done, for the first time, she felt the feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and it almost threw the little Hua Hanako out.

Even other curse spirits, no one has ever touched its left arm.

It was an ominous arm, like the scarlet bud on the left arm.

Good thing...

Hanako is totally fine.

Even Hanako gave Hana a strange look.

Hua Yu, who seemed to be under a fixed spell, completely let Hua Huazi do what she did for the next time.

then……

He was tied up with a big "flower arm" by Huahuazi, and he was tied up without missing any fingers.

Hua Yu was tall and tall, and the bandages brought by Hua Hanako had to be cleaned before they could be properly wrapped.

For Huahuazi, this is really a "big project", but Huahuazi is exhausted.

It's a pity that the bandages are limited, and it can only tie one arm to Huayu.

Hanako glanced regretfully at other parts of Hana Yu's body.

Hana Yu: "..."

For the rest of the day, Hua Yu didn't do anything, just ran up and down the mountain with Hua Huazi, and saw a lot of treasures that Hua Huazi specially showed it.Huahuazi also shared her favorite fruit with Huayu, letting them eat together.

All this didn't end until Hanako waved goodbye to Hanao.

Huahuazi returned to Tianhe Zhaosheng's side, and Lehu, who had been running outside for a day, returned to the place where it and Huayu stayed temporarily.

Then, after seeing Hua Yu's new "flower arm" clearly, Leu Hu almost wanted to poke her eyes out.

"What happened to your arm?!"

Hua Yu put her right hand on her left arm and smiled, "This is a gift from a new friend."

"Friend?" Leu Hu narrowed her one eye, "When did you have a friend? Who is it?"

For these curse spirits, there is no definition of "friend". Even it and Huayu can only be said to be two curse spirits with the same goal.

At most, it can be regarded as a "companion".

but……

If it's appropriate, maybe Hana's friend can also be one of the "companions".

Hua Yu ignored Leu Hu, but Leu Hu soon found out that Hua Yu made an elf friend on this mountain.

And when this elf friend saw Leuhu for the first time, he was very wary of Leuhu.

The guarded Leo Hu: "..."

At that time, Liu Hu's single eye was so wide open that it almost popped out of its socket.

What does it see?

A real elf? !

Leu Hu was really shocked, not only surprised to see the living elves, but also surprised that Hua Yu had become "friends" with the elves.

This is an elf? !

Is Hua Yu really not afraid of being killed by elves? !

Oh, this elf is still weak?

That's fine.

After being alerted, Liuhu chose to wait and see what happened after discovering that Hua Yu was also alerting herself.

The elf would be wary of it because he is a curse spirit, and Hana Yu, whose breath is very close to the elf, is regarded by the elf as a companion.

And Huayu will be on guard against it...

Pure worry, it will hurt this elf who has not yet grown up.

After confirming this matter, Leu Hu did not approach, but took a step back.The volcano above his head was steaming, and he pulled out a funny smile on his face.

"What are you going to do next?" After leaving such a sentence, Leu Hu left in front of Hua Hanako and Hana Yu.

What are you going to do next?

This question made Hanayu silent.

The silent Huayu lowered her head, and saw Huahuazi got into the bag she brought today, turned out a bag of salt, and was trying to sprinkle it around.

Especially the place where the leaking coral was located before was specially taken care of and sprinkled a little more.

Hana Yu: "..."

Today, Hua Yu was led by Hua Hanako to meet many new "little friends" on the mountain - those small animals living on this mountain - and helped some small animals who encountered difficulties to solve some small problems. She even acted as a mother for a while, and took care of the cubs of single animals for a short time.

Hana likes nature, but has never had such contact with animals living in nature.

Led by Hua Hanako, those little animals also showed great kindness to Hana Yu, and even gave back a little thank you after they provided help.

Most of the gifts are precious "food" for small animals, and some are "handicrafts" of talented small animals.

Huahuazi distributed these gifts very fairly, and it was half of Huayu.

Taking the "gifts" and "rewards" that she got for helping the little animals, Huayu's entire magic spirit felt like a dream.

There is a weird sense of confusion.

I always felt that being a "good person and good deed" had nothing to do with me as a curse spirit, but...

But the feeling of helping the little animals and getting sincere gratitude is really not bad.

And these "thanks" given to him by the little animals seem to have completely different meanings from other existences.

Huahuazi happily ate the food given to her by the little animals. Seeing that Huayu stared at the food like a fool, she "taught" them hand in hand and asked Huayu to eat them together.

If food is stored for a long time, it will deteriorate, and if you eat spoiled food, you will get sick, and it is too wasteful to throw it away.

So when the food is the most delicious, eat them with gratitude~

This is a gift from nature

When Huahuazi returned home this day, she brought a lot of new things back for her favorite Tianhe Zhaosheng.

After Huahuazi left, the disappeared Lehu reappeared beside Huayu, and asked this question again.

"What are you going to do next?"

Hua Yu glanced at Leu Hu, "You can't hurt it."

Leuhu didn't like the feeling of Hana Yu talking.

It was a series of sounds of unknown meaning that stopped in the ears, but the brain could clearly understand the meaning.

But today's Leu Hu didn't complain about these things, but instead showed a professional villain-friendly smile, "We are companions, and of course I won't hurt... your friend. Your friend is my friend, isn't it?"

Hua Yu stared at Leu Hu for a while before turning his gaze away.

What it was facing was exactly the direction Huahuazi left.

"I want to take Huahuazi away with me, but..."

"but?"

Leuhu didn't understand what Hua Yu was hesitating about, as if it didn't understand when it first met Hua Yu, that there would be a curse spirit like Hua Yu in this world who didn't look like a curse spirit at all.

Which curse spirit would be so "gentle"?

"Gentle" doesn't look like a spell at all.

"...but it lives in a human family." And seems to like the human very much, and the human likes it very much...

They look like a real family.

Hua Yu didn't say the following words.

And that's what makes it hesitate.

As far as personal feelings are concerned, Hana Yu actually wants to take Hua Hanako away together. It thinks that it is a very terrible thing to let a pure and kind elf like Hua Hanako stay with humans.

Human beings are full of destructiveness, and the viciousness in their hearts is the most terrifying thing in this world.On this point, no one can understand better than the curse spirit born out of human fear.

Even the human who lives with Huahuazi seems to get along very well with Huahuazi, and he is also a very kind human being, but...

They know humans very well, far better than humans themselves.

Maybe at some point, Huahuazi will be killed by humans, in a way that even the magic spirit can't imagine.

like...eating or whatever...

Hanayu regards Hanako as a true "friend", and the things it wants to do will also take into account Hanako's mood.

With the kind of love and trust it has seen, Huahuazi will not leave that human being.

"Just such a small problem?" Leo Hu pulled the corner of her mouth in disbelief, thinking it was a big problem that could trouble Hua Yu, "Can't it be enough to kill that human?"

Hana Yu: "..." This seems to be a method that can be used as a reference?

Tianhe Zhaosheng, who was far away on the other side of the mountain forest, suddenly trembled all over his body.

Even though the sun was still in the sky at this time, the summer sun made people feel hot and dry, but Tianhe Zhaosheng felt cold all over in an instant.

There was an indescribable sense of crisis on his back, which made Tianhe Chaosheng freeze there all of a sudden.

I have to say that Tianhe Chaosheng almost forgot that this is a world full of curses and dangers after living in the countryside for such a long time.

Although the more people there are, the greater the probability and intensity of curses will appear, but the countryside with fewer people does not mean that there are no curses.

Especially after the disappearance of Ryota and Kyoko.

He didn't feel too strong a sense of crisis. Tianhe Zhaosheng, who had been busy for two or three days straight to sort out the things at hand, originally planned to wait until tomorrow to return the key to the landlord Gao Yuan Wuyue, and left with his grandfather and Huahuazi.

But it came so suddenly that he felt a sense of crisis as if he was soaked in ice water, and Tianhe Zhaosheng made a decision immediately.

"Leave right away."

In the face of unpredictable dangers, Tianhe Chaosheng has always been straightforward.

Because no one knows whether his premonition of danger will get out of control, or whether he, an ordinary person, can really run away when he senses the danger is approaching.

If one day before the fight between the magic spirit and the conjurer, he was given a "account" in advance that he only gave in but not given out, then he really wouldn't even have a chance to run away.

The many horror movies I watched in my previous life gave Tianhe Chaosheng enough vigilance.

Think about how the protagonists in those horror movies die?

Excessive curiosity, obsession, and procrastination.

Of course, there are indeed some protagonists who are completely unlucky and unlucky to get home.

Tianhe Chaosheng, who had made a decision, was about to take a step when he saw Huahuazi running in from the yard dragging a bag. He raised his head and stared at him for a long time, then suddenly took out unused salt from the bag and started rubbing it on his feet. Sprinkle around.

Obviously, this is another operation that Hua Huazi learned from TV or from his grandfather when he watched TV with his grandfather.

The Shinto of the Neon Kingdom believes that sprinkling salt on the ground has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and praying for the blessing of the gods. In modern times, it has also developed the meaning of removing bad luck.

Tianhe Chaosheng: "..."

Tianhe Chaosheng lifted Huahuazi from the ground, took away the salt bag in its hand, and stuffed Huahuazi into his pocket.

"Stop playing, we should go today."

A question mark appeared above Huahuazi's head, and she didn't understand for a while what it meant to be "it's time to go today".

However, the grandfather who also just came back from the outside understood. After all, this is not the first time his grandson has done such a thing.

In fact, grandpa wanted to struggle a little bit.

Although he persuaded his grandson to leave the country and go back to study, there is no need to hurry, right?

Moreover, grandpa lives very comfortably in the country, and has made many friends of the same age in the village. It is not impossible to stay for a few more days.

However, as soon as Grandpa saw the eyes on Tianhe Chaosheng's face, he closed his mouth.

Every time Tianhe Zhaosheng showed such eyes, he would not change his decision, and grandpa never wanted to experience the feeling of being carried and run by his grandson.

Being carried by the grandson or something...

Twice is really enough.

but……

"It's late now, it seems that there is no car to leave the village..."

Tianhe Chaosheng walked into the house without looking back, "I made an appointment for a car in advance."

Grandpa continued to struggle: "...it's getting late now."

Tianhe Zhaosheng who came out dragging the suitcase: "I don't care about this."

Yes, he knew it.

When his grandson made the decision to leave, he didn't care what time it was...

Grandpa: "...I want to eat your cooking dinner."

Tianhe Zhaosheng, who was sending a message to the landlord: "I'm so glad that you like my dinner so much, grandpa. If there is a chance, I will make it for you in the car."

Now it's Grandpa's turn to be full of question marks, what is "I will do it for you in the car if I have a chance"? ? ?

Grandpa, who couldn't figure out how else to struggle for a moment, was dragged away by Tianhe Zhaosheng.

Tianhe Chaosheng didn't even go to the landlord's house, he just left the key at the place he had agreed with the landlord, and then ran away.

It wasn't until after leaving the village by car and driving a long way, that Hua Huazi sneaked out of Tianhe Chaosheng's pocket and looked at the strange scenery "flying" by on both sides of the car window, and realized it belatedly. , it seems... to leave "home"?

On the other hand, Hana Yu and Lehu talked for a long time on the topic of "whether to kill the human who is 'breeding' Hanako".

Before Leuhu's patience was about to be exhausted, Hua Yu finally led Leuhu over the mountain to Tianhe Chaosheng's "home" at night.

It's just that the building is empty at this time.

Hua Yu was a little dazed: "...Hua Huazi disappeared?"

Leaky Hu: "..."

Leu Hu stared at the yard in front of her for a while, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered that she had seen a similar scene in the process of following the breath of Su Nuo's fingers.

This is also the scene of people going to the empty building...

At once……

Inexplicably, Manu Ling felt a little familiar.

"Letter No. [-]"

Chaosheng Tianhe, male, 16 years old.

Although I don't know what happened, I managed to survive again.
