Curse this wonderful world

24: [The Curse of 24]

The sudden and unexpected interlude didn't delay the young conjurers from going to McDonald's.

After "distributing" the last bit of tattoo to Xia Youjie, Shen Yu, who experienced the "painless and light body" as if in a lifetime, completely became Fan Jin who was in the middle.Her small face was glowing, her black eyes were bright, her cheeks were flushed, she couldn't stop laughing, and her whole body was full of excitement. Those who didn't know thought she had won a billion dollars.

Hearing they said to eat at McDonald's, she immediately cheered and said that she would pay the bill.As soon as he entered the store, he rushed to the front, slapping his chest loudly.

"Just order whatever you want! I'm super happy today! I'll definitely make you vomit!"

"It doesn't have to be so extreme." Nitzi complained faintly, what kind of experience is it to vomit after eating McDonald's?

"Hee hee hee hee!" Shen Yu didn't care at all, just looked up at them with a smile.The goodwill and happiness in those bright black eyes can literally turn into essence and overflow.Gojo Satoru was very helpful for this, but Xia Youjie subconsciously avoided looking at each other—it was okay once or twice, such straightforward eyes made people feel a little uncomfortable if they looked too much.

——Mainly, cough, just inexplicable, a little shameful.

He doesn't feel like he's done anything big.No, it should be said that he still cared a little bit at first.After all, although it was to solve Fukaha's troubles, it was an unusual intimate behavior called kissing in the ordinary sense-at least not something you can do casually with your classmates, right?It doesn't matter if it was the first time he was suddenly attacked by Shen Yu - Xia Youjie still had a more traditional thinking in his bones, and he didn't feel offended or harassed by X.Generally speaking, although the girl's movements are so rough that there is no sense of pleasure at all, it is better to say that she is licked by a puppy than a kiss.But the other party is a beautiful girl after all, and he is not at a disadvantage.But the second time, he was indeed the one who took the initiative—although some of them were held there by the three of them and kept doing nothing.

But the kiss is also kissed, so he doesn't think much about it.But anyway, because of this kind of... um, little effort?It's weird to be stared at with the same burning gaze as if looking at a savior.

Speaking of which, these three people are also...

Looking at Bai Mao who was happily ordering with Glass and Shen Yu who was bouncing around and constantly coming up with ideas, Xia Youjie couldn't help pressing his forehead.He can understand Wu Wu's actions - isn't it just that he acted a little hastily before, but is that his fault?It's entirely because there is something wrong with this guy's sequence of actions, right?But Nitro is a girl, right?It's fine for her to kiss herself, so why coax her?And deep feathers.Well, as a party, she made a measurement, which is OK.But as soon as they get high, they rush forward to kiss or something.So far, he really doubts whether this little animal can be abducted by anyone in the future!

Even if she has 【Appreciation】, the difference in physique and strength doesn't matter.She herself said that her spells are ineffective on people. Didn't she also get kissed by Wujo before?

And who knows if there is any ability in this world that can just block [seeing].

The more Xia Youjie thought about it, the more he felt that there was a long way to go, and when a few people took their plates and found seats, he couldn't help but speak earnestly to Shen Yu. "Shen Yu, although I know it's a bit difficult to say this. But it's better not to let people other than us know about this matter. If you use [See] in the future, don't ask other magicians for help. Wait until we come back solve."

"Hey~" Shen Yu blinked, "Then... what if another conjurer runs out of spell power?" Can't her spell power also help allies gain mana?

"Isn't that simple?" Wujo Satoru interjected, holding a potato chip in his mouth and said vaguely, "Can't you [see] the special level? With your current level, it is impossible to encounter more serious tasks than that. As long as you get rid of the curse spirit, it doesn't matter if the other magicians have spell power or not, right?"

"That's it." Xia Youjie nodded, agreeing with Gojo Wu's statement, "Don't kiss anyone other than us casually. The pain will be dealt with by us. Even if Wu and I are not here, at least Nitro is definitely in the high school, no Let you bear it for a long time."

"Anyway, you're getting used to it."

"Enlightenment..." Xia Youjie was helpless, it was obviously a good intention, can this person speak well?

"Huh? Don't let anyone tell the truth?" However, Gojo Satoru didn't realize his good intentions at all.However, he did not continue to bar.Turning his head to look at Fukaba who was still a little tangled, he reached out and poked her cheek: "Anyway, be more obedient, you know?"

"Oh……"

Seeing that Shen Yu was about to nod when he was persuaded, Nitrate quit.The beautiful brown-haired girl put down the cola and narrowed her eyes dangerously, "I said, you two, don't draw conclusions on your own."

What are these bad lines full of male dominance?Do you need the two of you to agree to kiss someone with a small animal?It's funny, now it's not a feudal society where if a strange man touches it, he will chop his hands and become a monk.Not to mention that Shen Yu will always fall in love in the future, she can't ignore just the painful speech.

Women are inherently more tolerant of pain than men.Nitro knew that Fukaba was definitely not really squeamish.Looking at her appearance, you can tell that she is used to it.Maybe the pain center is a little numb.And the pain that she couldn't completely suppress, Niozi couldn't even imagine.

She stared sharply at the two boys, "It's not you who endured the pain, don't say it so easily. If Shen Yu doesn't mind, what's wrong with getting rid of it earlier?"

"No, if you want to relax, you can't let other people know about this matter." Gojo Satoru stuck the spoon in the new ground, raised his index finger at the glass, "Do you believe it, if the little one can The news of the augmentation spell supplementing the mana is leaked, and within a week, she will be put under house arrest and made into a meat bian tool for supplementing mana?"

"Cough! Cough cough!!!" Xia Youjie choked on a mouthful of Coke.He grabbed a tissue and turned his face to the side, coughing loudly.This guy!What are you saying about tigers and wolves in the public? !After finally stopping his cough, his face was flushed red, and he was about to teach Gojo Satoru a good lesson when he turned around and met the extremely complicated gazes of the two female students.

Xia Youjie was startled immediately, and quickly defended himself reflexively: "It's not me!" After speaking, he realized in surprise: Isn't that right? !Why do you think he is responsible for this guy's speech? !

"Probably because your image as the breeder of Gojo Satoru has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Shen Yu said quietly.Gojo Satoru immediately raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "Huh? What breeder?" As he spoke, he didn't forget to dislike Xia Youjie, "Jie, how can you choke on drinking Coke? Wow~ Fortunately, I didn't spray it. Come out~ Otherwise, it will be too disgusting."

That tone of disgust from the heart is especially annoying.

——How dare you say that? !Who is this all because of? !

Xia Youjie looked at the unconscious culprit, and felt his fist ready to move.

It was still Nitro who knocked on the table, she had no interest in the topic of puberty among male classmates. "Afterwards, you can solve the education problem in private." She looked at Gojo Wujo with a serious expression, "Gojo, are you serious about what you just said?"

"Huh? Meat—"

"cough!"

Whoa~ he knows what the problem is.Gojo Satoru blinked, curious, "What? Is this word forbidden?"

"That's why I told you to solve it privately. If you want to know, ask Xia You!" Nitrogen ignored Xia Youjie's protest, frowned and changed the subject, "That kind of behavior is a crime, right?"

"It's not a crime if it's not discovered and the victim doesn't file a complaint, right?" Gojo Satoru frowned, revealing a sneer that didn't contain the slightest bit of pleasure, "Don't be naive, Nitro. Curse masters, curse masters, aristocratic families, high-level people. Brainwashing, drugs, seals, spells... here, as long as you want to do it, there are as many ways to bypass the law and control a person."

"Even if she doesn't leave the college?" Nitro asked without hope.

Gojo Satoru sneered, "How many of the people I mentioned just now do you think can take a student away from the high school without any effort?"

"... Tsk." Niatzi lowered his eyes with an ugly expression, and stopped talking.

Xia Youjie's expression was not much better than hers.Although he had been popularized by Wujo Wu before, but once again clearly recognized the dark side of the magic world, it still had a big impact on him.Leaning on the back of the chair with his arms folded, he squinted his eyes, and after a while he said, "Wu, can't you say anything about Teacher Ye Moth?"

If what Gojo Satoru said was true—no, it should be true, he didn't need to add embellishment to this kind of thing—then the nature and importance of concealing this matter were completely different.

Sure enough, Gojo Satoru's answer proved his judgment.

"It's best not to." The only young master Wutiao who was not affected by the atmosphere took a sip of Coke and shook his head, "Noctuid's position is embarrassing. Even if he is willing to keep the little one a secret, knowing this kind of thing will only trouble him."

"OK, I understand." Xia Youjie nodded.

"But..." Seeing that they were about to reach a consensus, Shen Yu raised her hand. "I'm a witch." She said, looking at the question marks on the faces of all the students in the same grade, and explained: "It's the one I told you when I started school. I am a serious member of the shrine. The priestess of the office is very important. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has registered as a 'Dazhu Candidate of Rishangshan'. Although this identity is confidential, the high-level people in the magic circle know it. Does anyone dare to take my idea? ?”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was besieged by the eyes of three students of the same grade.

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide: "Are your ears just decorations? I just said so much, where did you hear it?"

"Shen Yu, you don't have any sense of crisis!" Xia Youjie hated iron for steel. "You said that the content is confidential? What if others only know that you can supplement the magic power strengthening technique, but don't know your identity as a witch?"

"And even if you know, so what? Do bad guys still reason with you? Didn't you hear what Wu Tiao said just now? If they want to abduct you, they abduct you, and it doesn't matter who you are." Nitzi reached out and poked her on the forehead. , "Are you being raised stupid by the main hall of the shrine?"

"In short, keeping your identity secret is not your protection." Xia Youjie made a final decision, and solemnly warned: "This matter is decided like this. For your safety, you should bear it or bear it, and you must not mess around when we are not around." !"

"Oh." This time, Shen Yu nodded obediently.Only then did the three students of the same grade show satisfied expressions.

Nitro looked at Gojo Satoru who had lowered his head again and started to eat Xindi, and then at Fukyu who had a cute and cute face.Immediately, I couldn't help but feel absurd, compared to the little animals that have no sense of crisis, Wutiao is actually a little more worry-free?At least the latter's character will not cause trouble to himself at all, but will only cause trouble to others-in a sense, this is also a great talent.

Just as she was thinking, Gojo Satoru, who possessed great talent, ate the last spoonful of Shinji, licked the corner of his mouth, and looked up at Fukaba.

"So, your strange magic power is also because of that witch?"

"It's not a shrine maiden, it's the 'Dazhu Candidate for Rishangshan'."

"Any name is fine." Gojo Satoru didn't care about Fukaha's protest.He picked up the Coke on the side, raised his eyebrows and urged, "Quickly, I have never seen such a spell."

This topic immediately attracted Nitro and Xia Youjie, they had never seen it before!

Seeing that the students of the same grade cast their curious eyes over, Shen Yu didn't hold back anymore. "Because that's not magic power." She put down the chips in her hand and explained, "Strictly speaking, what I have in my body is spiritual power."

Although Kurosawa Hiroki always said when explaining to outsiders, "It is enough to understand spiritual power and mantra power as one thing", Fukaha himself also likes to use alternating current and direct current as an analogy.But for the user himself, there is still an essential difference between mantra power and spiritual power.If mantra is a negative force, it can cause destruction.And if the reverse spell power gets positive power, it can be used for healing.Spiritual power is the 0 in the middle of the acid-base.It is neither negative nor positive, neither destructive nor healing, mild and pure like plain water.In addition to being able to develop various strange abilities—for example, allowing people to see wraiths or curse spirits, and learn to [See] or [Shadow See]—no matter for living people or curse spirits, No direct lethality.

It is precisely because of this that in her original game "Zero" series, the protagonists of all dynasties can only fight monsters with the shooting machine in hand.Otherwise, they can only spread their feet and run for their lives.Therefore, in the current three-dimensional dimension, although the priests and maidens in the main hall of the shrine can also borrow some special spells to convert spiritual power into spell power for exorcism.But rather than fighting head-on, they are better at various enchantments and rituals, purifying or sealing places, objects or living people entangled by curses.

If the conjuration world is dominated by conjurers who are front-line combat professions, the main hall of the shrine is a collection of a group of auxiliary professions of the priesthood.

"It's a special case for people like me who happen to be born with spells, and their spiritual power can be automatically converted into spell power." Shen Yu guessed uncertainly, "It's probably because of that method that I can replenish mana for magicians Doesn't count as 'release' but 'direct ingestion'?"

"It's possible." Gojo Satoru pushed his sunglasses, and his six blue eyes looked at Fukaha from the lower edge of the lens, "It makes sense in theory."

"Well... But I have never heard of such a thing before, and I don't know if other witches are the same, so I can only guess like this." Shen Yu said, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Into the glass, "Ah, glass. Didn't you ask me why I became a magician this afternoon? That's what I wanted to explain to you at that time. I can't actually be a magician. It's because the priest in the main hall of the shrine The priestess and the priestesses couldn’t teach me how to use spells, so I came to the high school to study. In fact, the main hall of the shrine is in charge of me.”

"Then..." Jia Ruozi paused, but still asked, "After you graduate, won't you stay in the college?"

"Yeah. I'm going back to be a witch." Fukaba nodded decisively. "So I won't apply to increase the level of the magician again."

——Yeah, all right.Nitro thought.fair enough.Although Fukaba is very powerful, but compared to the conjurer who lives next to danger, the job of a shrine maiden is probably more stable and peaceful.

[Look] Seeing her thoughts, Shen Yu blinked with a smile.

On the contrary, Xia Youjie has been a little puzzled since just now—I don't know if he was a little confused by Gojo Wu's words before, he always feels that Shen Yu's...title?Is it called a title?He didn't pay attention to it the first time, but bringing it up now always makes him feel uncomfortable.

After all... The young man frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment: "Shen Yu, 'Dazhu' means human pillar, right? Isn't that a word for sacrifice?" To be precise, it means burying people alive as sacrifices ——At least that's what the dictionary says.

After speaking, he looked at Gojo Satoru uncertainly.The latter blinked, "Jie, what do you see me doing?"

Xia Youjie choked suddenly, "I thought you would know." Aren't you the young master of the Yusan family?

However, Gojo Satoru replied as a matter of course: "Why do I need to know? The main hall of the shrine, what does it have to do with me?"

——Who would go out of his way to understand this kind of thing that can't be matched with him?He is not in a hurry.

——What you said... makes sense.

Xia Youjie was speechless for a moment.Shen Yu couldn't hold back her laughter, and quickly replied, "No, it's just a title. My future job is to guard the important enchantment of Rishang Mountain. How can I guard it when I die? Don't say sacrifice, it's just a little bit My son is hurt, the priest in charge of me will have to worry for a long time. "Dazhu" just means that this position is very important. Isn't there a saying of the mainstay. And the current Dazhu-sama is still in office. She has been a Dazhu for many years They didn't die. I, the candidate, was supposed to wait for her to step down."

As if Xia Youjie said something unbelievable, the girl narrowed her eyes funnyly and asked, "Xia You, how could you think of this? It's not as scary as you think. Dazhu can still get married. My mother It was after going to Rishang Mountain that I married my father."

Wujo Wujo tilted his head, "You miko is still hereditary?"

"No. As long as you have strong spiritual power, you can do it if you want. It's just that my mother is also very strong. The main hall of the shrine thinks of me."

"Hey~" Nitro sighed, picked up some French fries, and asked casually, "But where is Shangshan this day? I've never heard of it."

"It's in Kanagawa. It's actually quite close." Seeing the atmosphere relax, Fukaha also picked up French fries and explained while dipping in ketchup, "In order to prevent ordinary people from entering, it looks like an abandoned barren mountain now. It is open to the outside world. There is a very important barrier inside that needs to be guarded by witches. Dazhu refers to the most powerful one among the witches who guard the barrier." As she spoke, she puffed out her chest proudly, "So , I am a super important, super powerful miko!"

"Hey, hey~" That little expression was very cute, Nitro smiled, and reached out to stroke her head.

Seeing that the other two accepted it well, Xia Youjie also felt that he had overreacted.He touched his nose somewhat embarrassingly.Just as he was about to apologize—after all, it would be disrespectful to speculate about a serious witch as a priest of the Xie sect—but Fukaha shook his head at him first.

"Mmm~mm~ There is no need to apologize at all." The black-haired girl smiled happily, "I know you are worried about me. I am very happy."

— Rather, I am very happy.

As she thought, everyone accepted her "explanation".In this way, when [at that time], as long as Kurosawa Koki cooperates to find an excuse to deal with the aftermath, they will not be suspicious.

After all, although they didn't care about it before, she didn't dare to underestimate the memory of these people.If it is not well prepared, what if something happened that caused her to walk abruptly and made them want to search on a whim?Although her identity is secret, it is not completely secret.There are five comprehensions, and if they really dig out something—such as the "truth" of the Rishang Mountain Ceremony—it will be terrible.She didn't want to add bricks and tiles to the adolescent shadows of her classmates.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely kill this possibility.Because they were really nice and nice to her.When worrying about her "big pillar" status, when telling her not to reveal her mana replenishment ability.However, the students who had only known each other for less than a few months, they naturally chose to help from the very beginning. They were so nervous, and they were all considering her.

——Ah... So, she really likes this world!

Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn't help laughing again.

She laughed quite suddenly, Nitro gave her a surprised look, and saw the small animal's big watery and shiny eyes narrowed into slits, seeing her look over, Shen Yu smiled even more foolishly.Probably [seeing] her doubts, the black-haired girl leaned on her shoulder, took advantage of the situation and softly rubbed her lips, muttering sweetly and coquettishly.

"What should I do~ Nitro~ You treat me well~ I feel so happy!"

This time, not only the two boys opposite were startled, but even Nitro couldn't help turning his face to the side, and his eyes wandered for a while.At this moment, she is especially grateful to Fukaba for the setting of [Looking] that cannot be seen through clothes.What, you say that suddenly...

"Why are you so nice... I'm really happy... I like you so much..."

Seeing that the little animal was still rubbing against her shoulder and chattering coquettishly, the whole person was about to be buried in her arms.Jiarui Nitzi's face was a little hot.Pian Shenyu's tone was too pure and clear, falling straight to his heart.At this moment, she is like a fluffy little kitten who only shows her belly to you. Her trusting and dependent appearance makes it impossible to push her away.

For the first time, Jia Ruozi cast his eyes for help, but saw two boys, one pushed his sunglasses unnaturally, with the corners of his mouth crazily raised; the other looked down at the ground, with reddish ears.

Tsk.The corner of Jia Ruozi's mouth twitched, and he kicked the black hair under the table looking down at the ground—she never expected the white hair to be of any use, the latter froze for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Cough." He stood up, "I'm a little tired of drinking Coke, I'll go to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of water."

With that said, he turned around and walked out.

This reaction made Nitro's eyes widen.She looked at Xia Youjie's back almost in disbelief.Hello!What are you doing?I want you to do something to change this sweet and greasy atmosphere!I'm not reminding you that there is still a trick to sneak away!
