Curse this wonderful world

88: [The Curse of 88]

"I told you I'm fine, are you too nervous?"

"A person who is brought back bloody and bloody is not qualified to say this."

"It's bloody and bloody. There is no broken arm or broken leg. There is only one rib fracture and two wounds, and the main artery has not been poked. The bleeding has stopped a long time ago." Shen Yu was helpless.

It was only yesterday that she was injured, how could it be bloody.This time, Huiyuan and Nanami's mission location is in the remote mountains and old forests in the countryside far away from Tokyo, and they don't have a magic spirit that can fly back with a whistling whistling.After finishing the "first-level land god" in the original work, the two elementary school boys immediately rushed to the auxiliary supervision car with her in their arms like a relay race.The auxiliary supervision of driving is also very good. She forced the car to drive like an F1, and she lost a little blood on the road. When she arrived at the hospital, she was still awake.

She is also a serious hospital, and she is not fatally injured.After debridement and bandaging, she also had a water transfusion.If it weren't for the thought of having nitrous treatment when he came back, the wound would be healed with needles right now.

As for being hugged back.Why, there are two students (sitting) and younger brothers (riding) who are almost 1.8 meters old. Doesn’t it mean that the short leg injury has to walk back by itself?

No matter from which angle you look at it, "Isn't this level of injury normal for conjurers?"

As Shen Yu said, she poked the cheek of a white-haired DK who was lying on the side of her hospital bed with her right hand, which was not connected to the infusion.

But the latter just refused to let her fool the past.He reached out and grabbed Shen Yu's hand, Gojo Gojo raised his eyebrows, "I won't."

"...Is there any infinity that is amazing?"

"Neither did you before."

"... Woo." Shen Yu tried to withdraw her hand a little guilty.

Gojo Satoru didn't let her succeed.Through the sunglasses, he stared sharply at Shen Yu's eyes, "Why don't you use a technique?"

Shen Yu suddenly felt more guilty.She is weak in spell power now, but obviously [six eyes] can see her spell itself and can still use it normally.Why rush up to something that you can [see] drop at a glance?No, rushing up with a samurai sword and attacking the first-level curse spirit will kill you.Gojo Satoru's question was perfectly normal.

The reason, of course, is that she dare not mess around with 【Look】.

Although she did [look] at the first level of the magic spirit now, she would have to wait a long time for [seeing] a magic spirit ball for Xia Xia.Who knows what will happen to her if she loses sight of that "level one land god".If they knelt down and rolled all over the ground on the spot, wouldn't the two juniors be scared to death?And she knew that this guy, Huiyuan, looked cute and cute, but he was actually very cunning, and he would definitely report to Xiao Wu or Xia Xia!

But she wouldn't tell Xiao Wu that.Suppressing her guilty conscience, Shen Yu looked innocent. "Before the fight, I didn't know that the curse spirit was so hard. Didn't I stab it first when I saw the first level?"

As for the aftermath, "It's just hitting the head."

"Tsk, you still have a reason?" Who would believe such a reason?Gojo Satoru leaned back in his chair, and twitched the corners of his lips a little irritably, "In the end, what are you doing? You also want to interfere in other people's tasks? Knowing that you are weak, just be quiet. Is it fun to be a hero? Sneaked out without saying hello, I haven't settled with you yet."

I don't know if our juniors will die!This guy's mouth...

Although Shen Yu knew that he didn't mean that, but seeing Gojo Satoru's words, the faces of the two juniors standing against the wall with murals in the ward turned pale. Strawberry Daifuku came and stuffed it into his mouth. "Shut up you."

After stuffing it, she immediately put her palms together and made an apologetic expression in the direction of Qihai and Huiyuan.

The two immediately shook their heads to express their indifference.

[Six Eyes] Of course he wouldn't miss this scene, Gojo Satoru snorted, but didn't say anything more.The only sound in the ward, which was quiet for a while, was his heavy chewing.

Woohoo~ Still angry.Shen Yu is helpless and funny-although it is very out of place, but the angry Xiao Wu is also so cute.As she thought about it, just as she was about to reach out and touch Gojo Satoru's hair, there was a knock on the door.

"Wu Tiao." Nitzi pushed open the door and leaned half her body in, "Xia You is here, come out for a while." She looked at Shen Yu's bright eyes and added, "Wait a minute, We're going to talk about important things."

Shen Yu's eyes widened suddenly: "No, wait? You're excluding me when you talk about important things?"

"About the task, discuss how to quarrel with the higher-ups. You can't help." Gojo Satoru lightly snorted, stretched out his hand and patted her hard on the head.Standing up while the girl was covering her head, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two junior students who were still "standing for punishment" by the wall, and he twitched his lips and chose one.

"Qi Hai Hai, come out with me."

Although the implication of what he said just now could easily be misunderstood by the two of them as the violent words of "let them die", of course Gojo Satoru didn't really care about this "problem mission".This year is no different from theirs back then, Qihai and Huiyuan are both normal level [-], and they don't have the ability to leapfrog monsters.Unprepared this time, I encountered a first-level curse spirit transformed from the belief of the land god, and it was really thanks to Shen Yu that he was able to come back alive.

Just like imaginary wraiths born from human fear and imagination will have the same characteristics as those in legends, the magic spirits produced by the fall of faith usually have very troublesome spells and abilities.It was not at all a target that Nanami and Huiyuan, who had only dealt with second-level spell spirits without spells at most, could deal with them.In addition, it was a curse spirit that had been entrenched in the local area for many years-that is to say, both the window and the auxiliary supervisor had enough confirmation time and judgment materials-if someone did not cause trouble, Gojo Satoru was the first to not believe it.

Damn, come again?Fucking his classmates back then, now flirting with his juniors, did the group above have enough to eat and have nothing to do?And it's not a good time to find any time, but it's a time when they all have too many things to do.Wujo Wujou thought unhappily, if he continued like this, one day he would run out of patience and destroy all the rotten oranges.

While saying that the number of conjurers is scarce, while messing with your own people if you have nothing to do, is your mind sick? !

Cursing again in his heart, the tall white-haired young man led his junior out and closed the door heavily.

The sound of "Bang!" startled Huiyuan who was left behind.The black-haired boy pricked up his non-existent ears like a startled large dog, but when he turned his head to look at the senior on the hospital bed, he saw the petite girl laughing.

Her face was still a little pale, and there was no blood on her lips.She doesn't look very healthy—that's right, although the wounds were healed by my sister-in-law and blood was transfused, she was just seriously injured.Thinking of this, Huiyuan's non-existent ears drooped again.

This expression made Shen Yu's smile deepen, "We were scared just now? Enlightenment didn't mean that."

"I know." Huiyuan quickly nodded, "Senior Wujo is worried about Senior Sister. Qi Haihai also knows."

"Hahaha, your name is Qihaihai too." Shen Yu was amused for a moment, and she waved to Huiyuan, "Come, come and sit." Saying that, she brought him a Strawberry Daifuku, " Have some sweets, you haven't eaten well since yesterday."

This kind of action like greeting the aunt next door to a child is actually quite unsuitable for Hinasaki-senpai to do it.Everyone has always said that Gojo-senpai has a baby face, but Haibara thinks that the cute little Hinasaki-senpai and Gojo-senpai have the same degree of baby-face.When standing with the mature Qihai, it was completely like a brother leading a younger sister—or the kind of younger sister who was at least four or five years younger.In addition, I have witnessed too many of her acting like a baby to the two seniors.Although I have always respected my senior sister's strength from the bottom of my heart, when Haibara is with her, from time to time, I still have the illusion that "it is not senior who is taking care of us, but we are coaxing senior".

It's the same this time.When the mission was about to start, the senior sister suddenly appeared in front of him and Qihai, and said that because Senior Gojo and Senior Xia You were not there, and Senior Family was also busy, it was too boring, so she wanted to go on the mission with them.And they were not allowed to tell Mr. Ye Moth, and when they threatened the assistant supervisor with the five seniors to keep it secret, Huiyuan was completely in the mentality of messing around with his sister.

However, when the senior sister stood in front of him with her bright katana sword...

"Sister, I..."

"It's okay." Shen Yu didn't let him continue, anyway, she knew what the elementary school boy was going to say. "Don't take it too seriously. It's all over. Haibara and Nanami are fine, I'm very happy."

Is really very happy.Deep Feather narrowed his eyes.And also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although it won't show it, in fact, Fukaha has been very worried recently.After entering the summer, she saw fewer days with everyone.Especially Xia Xia, who used to meet four or five times a month.Throughout June, they only met three times.It was even worse in July. Before today, they had only met once.Few chances to meet = can't help him deal with the magic ball = [see] can't see his negative emotions.In addition, Shen Yu [can't see] Xia Youjie's heartfelt voice now, and there are two major FLAG incidents in July, her heartstrings were really tense every day before.

Fortunately, I can breathe a little easier now.

Because there is almost no mission information for Qihai and Huiyuan in the original work.Fukahae used a stupid method.As soon as she entered July, she contacted Miss Ming, who had started to work on her own, and directly said that she wanted to meet 99-sang. She used her banknote power to get 99 Youji's contact information, and please inform herself when she came to the college— —In the original work, 99 didn’t come here to find Xia Youjie. As long as they don’t touch them, a big FLAG can be avoided.

Facts have proved that this trick works.Probably because she was very interested in her as a miko, 99 Yuki really contacted her when she came.So that day, not only did she perfectly avoid the meeting between Xia Youjie and 99 Youji, and she didn't let him hear the statement that "conjurers don't produce magic spirits", but she also anchored it through the appearance of 99 Youji. Huiyuan and Qihai's itinerary, the next day at the school gate blocked two juniors who were going to travel far away.

Fukaha smiled and looked at the junior who was eating strawberry Daifuku.Huiyuan must have never imagined that when she saw the first-level curse spirit emerging, she was more fortunate than them.

It's great to not follow the wrong mission.

The schoolmates are fine, Xia Xia's reason for defecting should be regarded as missing one, right?Maybe it's unfounded worry, Shen Yu thought, because the last few times he saw Xia Xia, he looked quite normal.Apart from looking extremely tired and losing weight, there was nothing different from usual.Not only did no monkey speak, but when watching her smile, she still looked gentle and tender.But she really didn't dare to take it lightly.In the original novel, before that incident happened, didn't Nitro and Wu still not notice any difference in him?

Although not as deceitful as her.But Xia Youjie is also a person who is bored with everything in his heart, his heart is overwhelming, and he can still be expressionless on the surface.

And now that there is no way to give Xia Xia a beep to suck away his negative emotions like an air purifier, all Shen Yu can do is to keep dismantling FLAG.

At least on this point, she has been very successful so far.Last year's Riko, this year's Haibara, everyone survived safely.Even Shi Er, who beat Xia Xia violently, did not leave him with too much shadow of the sky and the curse because he was a friendly army.As long as no one dies around him, as long as he doesn't think of killing ordinary people because of 99 Youji's words, Shen Yu feels that even if Xia Xia is completely disappointed in ordinary people because of pressure and tasks, he won't kill relatives after slaughtering a village Righteous, right?

As long as you don't go to that step, everything can be saved.If it doesn't work, she will confess to Xia Xia and Xiao Wu immediately after dismantling Xia Xia's biggest flag in September.At that time, if Xia Xia hated ordinary people, she just dragged him to the main hall of the shrine, and asked him to help her study the method of maintaining the barrier with everyone.Shen Yu thought, she still doesn't believe it, so cute, can't Xia Xia's attention be diverted from ordinary people?

Or let Xia Xia and Dazai Osamu go find things together.If it was Osamu Dazai, he would definitely brainwash Xia Xia.And he certainly welcomes it.Recently, Osamu Dazai changed direction and began to piece together his course of action through the articles published by Aso Kunihiko in various publications. Now he has roughly anchored the place he planned to go mentioned in his last paper when he was in his 30s .

Shen Yu was quite surprised when he heard the news. The original "Zero" series has two settings for Aso Kunihiko. At first, he was set to die young, and in "The Crow", he became old and died.And he also left a record about Baiju's sending incense in his notes when he was old.Because he is "Hinasaki Fukaha", Fukaha always thought that Kunihiko Aso here should be the latter, but Osamu Dazai said that he had investigated it.Kunihiko Aso's whereabouts between his 30s and 40s are blank. The publications published in magazines after the age of 40 are all his old manuscripts dug out by acquaintances, and some are written by others under the guise of his name to swindle money.

"I will continue to investigate based on this location." Osamu Dazai said on the phone, "This clue has not been broken yet. I will contact you anytime if there is any news." After speaking, he began to complain, "After reading so many Information, I'm almost becoming a folklorist. Fukaba, after this matter is over, you must treat me to dinner."

"Okay! Let's go super high-end crab meat dishes!"

Fukaba's smile didn't fade until he hung up the phone.Kunihiko Aso would often leave some things in the places he visited. If they could find them, maybe his thoughts might really be attached to them.If it was Aso who died young in his 30s, he must still remember his birth.

In any case, it was finally another worry.Rishangshan was also stable and things didn't get any worse.Her endless summer has also blossomed, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Thinking of this, Fukaha's expression became softer.She looked at Huiyuan, and suddenly thought that it was also because of her interruption that Huiyuan and Xia Xia didn't go through the original dialogue.Plus this incident...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking: "Hui Yuan, if you don't want to be a conjurer, it's okay not to."

"Huh?" Huiyuan raised his head, "Sister?"

"Well. In fact, maybe this should be said to Qi Haihai." Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, "You are also in the second grade, and you should have a general understanding, right? Curse magic is not a good job. Things like this time , it may happen in the future. Not every time there will be a senior who can save you. To be honest, I hope that my apprentices will live well than exorcising the curse spirit. Whether it is you or Qi Haihai , if you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to worry about other people, you can stop doing it at any time.”

"Of course, you can continue to do it if you want to. But," she added a little more emphasis, "the conjurer is like an endless marathon, and the determination is not firm enough-in Wu's words, he is not crazy enough. I won't come down."

"Then..." Huiyuan blinked, "Why did senior sister become a conjurer?"

Hmm~ In fact, her job is not considered a conjurer?But there is no need to tell the students about this.Shen Yu smiled, "Because I am strong enough, I am even crazier."

"Like this?"

"Hahahaha, I lied to you~" Shen Yu laughed, "Although it has nothing to do with being a magician. However, I entered the high school because there are people I like here."

"Hey!!" Huiyuan's already big and round eyes suddenly widened, "Did you know Wutiao-senpai and Xia You-senpai before entering the college?"

"You said the names of those two people without hesitation."

"Is there no one else but the seniors?" Huiyuan also understood that the senior was joking with him, and immediately laughed, "So? How did the senior know? I understand Wutiao senior, and Xia You is the same Is it famous?"

"It's a secret."

"Stingy~" Huiyuan protested very cooperatively, and after speaking, his expression softened, "Senior sister really likes seniors."

"Hmm. That's right." Shen Yu also smiled.Probably because Hui Yuan is really a very good listener, she rarely has a little desire to talk.

"Of course not at the beginning. I didn't like this at the beginning. How should I put it~ I think he is a very powerful person." The longing and love for the "character" in the original work in "Memory" may be because it is that The only thing in this world that I know belongs to "myself" - not the "things" of "Hinasaki Fukaha"?

"But after getting in touch, I like it more and more." Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, "I, I don't know what love is." Probably [seeing] too much, and the definition of love is not clear. Very vague. "Is it love to want to be together all the time? Or is it love to want the other person to only look at me all the time? Aren't there many people who want to turn the person they like into something that belongs only to them? If that is the case, I am now Haven't learned yet."

Haibara's eyes widened again, "Ah? Wouldn't senior sister be possessive?" He couldn't help raising his voice, "Wait, could it be that the seniors were approached, or chatted and laughed with other girls? , won't you be angry?"

"Hmm..." Shen Yu tilted her head, imagined it carefully, then shook her head, "No way."

"Senior sister, you have a really good temper!" Haibara raised his voice again, "You must be angry! This must be angry!"

Fukaha was amused by his exaggerated reaction. "Hahaha, this has nothing to do with being good-tempered."

"It's just that you have a good temper." Huiyuan hated iron and steel, "Senior sister, don't you have a giving personality? No matter how good your temper is, you still have something you want, right?"

"I want..." Shen Yu thought for a while, "I want... the person I like, be happy."

"……what?"

"Yeah. This is what I want the most." Fukaba narrowed his eyes, "It's great to be together all the time! It would be great to be able to watch me all the time! But if it doesn't work..."

If...she doesn't succeed in the end...

That's okay too.but……

"Only this is something I absolutely want to do." Shen Yu laughed.There was a bright light in the obsidian-colored eyes, "I want the person I like to be happy. It's okay not because I don't need it every day. Or, it doesn't matter even if I frown at ordinary times. I just hope that there will be a moment, what Any reason is fine."

"Even if it's facing a flower, a tree, or a cloud..." Shen Yu's smile became more gentle, "I hope that person can smile from the bottom of his heart."

——So, the BE that "I can't laugh in this world", she absolutely has to tear it down!

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he added, "Of course, it would be even better if there was me by my side."

However, at this time, no one cares about the second half of her sentence.Haibara's eyes widened, and he kept exclaiming "Wow~ what kind of pure love is this".While putting his hand on the doorknob, Ru Nizi turned his head, pushed the door open, and looked at the two students of the same grade with complicated eyes.

"Tsk, two scumbags, are you moved?"

Nitrate's voice didn't lower at all, so when Shen Yu turned his head, he saw Xia Youjie with a complicated expression and Gojo Satoru who raised his hand and pushed the sunglasses.Her smile grew wider.Amid Gojo Wu's loud protest, Shen Yu cheerfully pointed at Xia Youjie and said loudly.

"So, Xia You over there, stop frowning!" She said loudly with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for almost half a month! If you don't hurry up and hug me, I won't sleep with you today! "

——She decided that although she was a little sorry for Xiao Wu, in order to be safe, she would use all of it to stick to Xia Youjie for the whole of September, except for returning to the mountains!

If there is no "external force", maybe everything will really develop according to Fukaha's idea.With her [Seeing], no one around her died.If he was just disappointed in human nature, Xia Youjie probably wouldn't be so extreme as to act like in the original work.However, Shen Yu didn't know that while she was working hard, someone was trying to tear her down.Similarly, she didn't know that she herself was the one who was regarded as the last straw that broke the camel's back, and was put on the other side of the scale by someone with a heart.

On September ■, 2007, in ■■ City (former ■■ Village) in ■■ County, the eve of the task of investigating the hidden ghosts and strange deaths in the village.

The mission location is an isolated village, and the surrounding areas are of course not good places to settle down.After contacting the assistant supervisor to pick him up tomorrow morning, Xia Youjie, who was in charge of this task, chose the only business hotel in the town.The sound insulation is poor, and downstairs are noisy izakayas and cheap taverns doing custom business.The shading is also very general. Even if the curtains are drawn, it can't block the light from the neon signboards into the room.

So even if the lights were not turned on in the room after midnight, the yellowed wallpaper was still bright red with the hazy red light.Xia Youjie was wearing a T-shirt and trousers that served as pajamas, sitting on the bed, holding a mobile phone.The black-haired girl who came with him was sleeping on the next bed.

——If a conjurer is an endless marathon.So what is the end?

/ Enomoto: ...This is the last time... The ceremony of Higamiyama Miko is to put the Miko into a box called a coffin.The box contains the Night Spring—that is, the water of the Yellow Spring.The witch's time will be fixed at the moment of entering the box...so it is also called "Permanent Flower"...Permanent Flower falls into a long sleep, repeating death and the pain it [sees] forever...From this pain The power is to maintain the barrier to suppress the power of the underworld. /

/Summer oil: ...in order to prevent the underworld from flooding? /

/ Enomoto: Yes.The flood of the underworld will cause a catastrophe... There is no other way.Hinasaki-sama didn't tell Xia You-kun about this, probably because she didn't know how to explain it.After all, he has to be separated from people who have a good relationship... Of course, a powerful magician like Mr. Xia You can survive even in the erosion of the underworld.But ordinary people are bound to die. /

/Xiayou: So, is the life of a witch exchanged for the lives of ordinary people? /

/ Enomoto: ... You can't say that.Mr. Xia You, if it is you, it should be understandable, right?Like astroplasma. /

/ Enomoto: Speaking of which, in this matter, the director will also speak highly of your session.Unlike the astral body, the main hall of the shrine does not have the means to monitor the birth of the maiden.Hinasaki-sama was found when she was almost 10 years old.Her background was not very good, she had no father since she was a child, her mother ran away from home when she was very young, and then lived with her adoptive mother's house. I don't know if that family didn't take her seriously. She was trafficked once when she was 5 years old.When he was found by the main office of the shrine, he lived in Yokohama with his adoptive father.The environment there... In short, it may be due to lack of trust in people.Hinasaki-sama has always been very wary of the Directors' Council.On the contrary, after entering the college, I probably received good influence from everyone, and I have cooperated more with the actions of the higher authorities. /

——What is "good influence"?

/ Enomoto: It was the same before.Now the enchantment of Rishangshan is very stable, we all speculate that a ceremony has already been held in the main hall of the shrine.Although I don't know the details, there has never been a precedent of a shrine maiden leaving Rishangshan after the ceremony.Now Hinasaki-sama can leave, and there is no problem with the barrier, which means that the main hall of the shrine must have found a way. /

/ Enomoto: So, Xia You-kun, you don't have to worry too much.In this situation, as long as there is no problem with the barrier, Hinasaki-sama should be able to maintain this state.This is already a good result. /

- "Good results"?

"...Ugh..."

The sleeping girl let out an unsteady whisper.Xia Youjie immediately dropped the phone and walked quickly to her bedside.

"Shen Yu?" He held the girl's hand and brushed her front hair with one hand.The cold touch of the tentacles made his fingertips tremble.But instead of letting go, he put his warm palm on her forehead and began to call her name louder and louder.

"Deep Feather!"

This is just the beginning.Xia Youjie knew.This is not the first time he has seen Fukaha having nightmares.Although the frequency is very rare, she occasionally utters broken dreams in very heavy dreams.

No, he didn't even know if it should be called sleep talking.

Because Fukaha opened his eyes the next moment.But by no means awake.Her obsidian-colored eyes were wide open, but there was nothing in them.There is no focus, and there is no expression on her face.However, transparent tears gushed out of her eyes suddenly.At the same time, accompanied by intermittent, sometimes vague and sometimes clear whispers.

"It hurts...don't look...everyone... was killed. It hurts. Eyes...not our fault...why..."

"Deep Feather!"

"The miko was killed...so painful...melting. Heart...melting..."

"Shen Yu! Wake up!"

"It fell...don't..."

"Shen Yu! Wake up!"

"Don't fall alone...who will...hold me..."

"Shen Yu!" Xia Youjie shook the girl's shoulders vigorously, and he didn't know if this action had an effect. Suddenly, Shen Yu's whole body trembled, and he called "Mom" vaguely, and then closed his eyes.

She fell asleep again—no, it should be said that she didn't "wake up" from the beginning to the end.

——So, you call this a "good result"?

Xia Youjie gently moved his hand away, let the black-haired girl lie down again, carefully wiped away the tears on her face, and then helped her tuck the corner of the quilt.

——"As long as there are no accidents in the enchantment", then, what if there is an accident in the enchantment?

There was another commotion on the downstairs street across the window, men and women who had drunk too much were laughing and playing, and the uncontrollable volume echoed in the night. "...Don't fall asleep here!" "...what's the relationship... call the police." "Hahaha... will the police send you home?" "We are taxpayers!"

- The strong protect the weak.

- "Like astroplasma."

——"A powerful conjurer like Mr. Xia You can survive even in the erosion of the underworld. But ordinary people will definitely die."

——"Conjurers don't produce spell spirits."

so?What are we sacrificing, for what, and what are we protecting?

Xia Youjie straightened up, looking down at the girl who was sleeping peacefully, the words of Takanao Enomoto appeared in his mind again.

——"Mr. Xia You, is what we are doing really meaningful?"

Now, Wu.Is it really meaningful to sacrifice the magician, our companions, and deep feathers to protect the world?
