It is necessary to transfer from Kyoto to Saitama. Before getting on the train, Murata sent a message to Fukuroe, telling him that he will go to Saitama for a business trip recently.

Murata didn't turn off his phone until the bullet train entered the station.

As soon as he was dispatched to the station, he saw 99 Yuki standing in the crowd, who was particularly eye-catching—99 Yuki also saw Murata, waved at him from a distance, and then strode over: "Long time no see, Murata~"

"It seems to have grown taller?"

She gestured to Murata's stature.Murata took it for granted: "Boys at this age look different every day."

He dragged his small suitcase and walked out of the tram station with 99 Yuki. The cold wind of early spring was blowing outside, and the air was much better than that inside the crowded station. 99 Yuji took out a map and handed it to Murata as he walked.

Murata took the map and looked at it: it was a map of the whole of Japan, and many places were circled in red.

99 Youji: "The place marked with a red circle is the place where I found similar curses. These curses are not distributed irregularly, they are distributed in these places according to a certain range. I have not yet investigated the content of this curse. clear."

"The cursed object will fall into a coma, appearing in a state similar to a vegetative state. But after comparing the data of those cursed people, I found that they all have a common characteristic-they all have the "curse power" of conjurers , but do not possess the 'skill'."

Murata looked away from the map and looked at 99 Yuki: "Have the power of mantra, but not the spell?"

"Yes."

99 Youji nodded: "Everyone has spell power, even ordinary people have spell power. But the total amount of spell power is different. The spell power of ordinary people is completely different from that of magicians. There are two concepts; but you can't become a conjurer if you have enough magic power, and you also need to have a 'spell'."

"Spells are the innate talent of every conjurer. Human beings without spells cannot become conjurers—of course, there are strong and weak spells, and most people who are not suitable for combat will Choose to be a logistical job like an auxiliary supervisor..."

Murata: "Well, I know that."

99 Youji was a little surprised: "It seems that it is a good choice for you to go to a high school. The basic knowledge of the magic world has been supplemented very completely~"

Murata shook the map in his hand: "So why did you call me over? The curse in Saitama County has been exorcised by me, and the second curse should not appear so soon. Even if it does appear, it will be easy for you To the extent that it can be solved...you don't want me to go to the exchange match?"

99 Yuki started investigating this matter half a year ago.If he really needed his assistance, he should have been borrowed long ago.Now that he came to him on the eve of the exchange match, it was hard for Murata not to think about it.

99 Youji snapped his fingers and smiled: "That's right, I don't want you to participate in the exchange competition now. Have you heard about it? Tokyo will send a super freshman this year~"

Murata: "Yes, I know."

After a pause, he raised his eyes and asked calmly, "Do you think I can't beat him?"

"No, it's not yet time."

99 Yuki held Murata's face in his hands, rubbed it, and smiled brightly: "Now is not the time for Gojo Satoru to see you, you are the teacher's secret weapon, you have to save it until the end to make your debut!"

"Oh, by the way, why did you re-evaluate the level of conjurer? Didn't we agree that until your condition is stable, you must maintain the rating of 'fourth-level conjurer'?"

Murata: "..."

He always answered the teacher's questions, but this time he unexpectedly chose to remain silent.

99 Yuki felt that something was wrong, squinted his eyes, and approached Murata——Murata blinked, and there was an 'innocent' breath in the plum red pupils.But she knew that this bad boy was just pretending, and he would put on this expression when he didn't want to talk.

With a sigh, 99 Youji straightened up and continued to move forward: "It's fine if you don't say anything, and you can maintain the level of the current second-level conjurer. Don't continue to 'surprise' the above, you won't stay forever." In the magic world."

Murata nodded obediently: "Okay."

He often used to add a modal particle when speaking, but the ending sound of the modal particle did not rise, but was lazy and lowered.

It looks very good.

But 99 Youji knew that this guy was completely black.

99 Youji took Murata to the hotel that he had booked in advance. Before Murata had time to eat a hot meal, there was a mission notice—not in Saitama, but in the next county, a first-level curse spirit appeared. 99 Youji is the highest level conjurer in the vicinity, the assistant supervisor immediately asked her for help, and she changed hands and threw the task to Murata, calling it a training student.

Murata seriously suspects that Yuki 99 is taking revenge for not telling her the truth just now.

Before dispatching Murata, 99 Yuki never thought of such a consequence—if she knew that the spell of the curse spirit could still last for more than ten hours after the death of the main body, and knew the effect of the spell of the spell, she would definitely Murata will not be allowed to enter the account alone.

Looking at the black-haired and red-eyed child who was only a little higher than his chest in front of him, 99 Youji felt desperate.

"That...we didn't expect...the spell of the curse spirit can continue to be maintained after death..."

The assistant supervisor looked at the miniature version of the little conjurer whose clothes were falling down, and then looked at the unlovely 99 next to him, and smiled awkwardly: "I thought you had read the information carefully before you came— "

99:"……"

No, she just thought that Murata, the curse spirit of this level, could solve it with her eyes closed, so she didn't read the information at all.In the final analysis, it is outrageous!Doesn't that Murata guy have an absolute first-hand ability almost like a bug?Why do you still get tricked after exorcising the curse spirit? !

"How long can this situation last? Do I have to wait ten hours?"

99 rubbed his temples, and the super conjurer's tone was inexplicably weak: "Is there no other way to solve it? The only way is to keep him in this state and wait for the effect of the spell to end?"

She doesn't want to take care of children, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of children.

The assistant supervisor laughed: "So far we haven't found a way to directly remove the spell—but judging from the recovery time of other people, we really only need to wait for about ten hours."

99 turned his head and looked at the child wearing a pain mask.

The boy with the haori hanging loosely on his arms was holding the Japanese sword, and when she looked over, he raised his eyebrows slightly. 99 coughed dryly, and squatted down in front of him: "That's right, just as I explained to you, I'm not a human trafficker, and this place is not a trafficking scene—I'm your conjurer teacher. You've been with your family You've called, you should believe me, right?"

Murata's raised eyebrows slowly lowered again.He nodded: "Oh, I see, and then?"

99:"……"

Is this the eight or nine-year-old brat who hates chickens and dogs?Just listening to his tone of voice already started wanting to beat someone up!

Taking a deep breath, 99 squeezed out a smile that had nothing to do with gentleness: "Your brother said that they are not magicians and don't know how to take care of your current situation, so please let me send you to Fu Heihui ——When did you meet Fu Heihui?"

Murata frowned slightly: "Who is Fu Heihui?"

99: "...That's right, you have been shrunk by the spell, and your memory has been reversed, so you don't know anything—forget it, I'll ask the assistant supervisor where Fu Heihui's house is."

She has other things to do, and she really doesn't have time to take care of the troublesome little boy in miniature, so it's better to find a reliable person to entrust him to him first.

Fu Heihui... is said to be Wujo Wu's adopted son?To be raised by Wujo Wutiao so much, he must be very careful and take care of others. Although I don't know how these two people met, it should be fine for a short-term entrustment.

It's only ten hours at most, what big problem can go wrong?

Thinking about it this way, 99 felt a little relieved.

Murata sat there bored in a daze.After a while, someone came to take him to change clothes, and Murata obediently followed the assistant supervisor to change clothes, with a very cooperative attitude.

The clothes they gave Murata were black hoodies and light-colored denim trousers bought in a nearby department store, with a little yellow hat attached.

He changed his clothes, picked up the little yellow hat, poured all the pumpkin seeds in Haori's right pocket, and then came out holding the little yellow hat.

99 glanced at the little yellow hat in his right hand and the sun wheel knife in his left hand, and waved to him while sitting on the motorcycle: "Come on, I'll take you to Fu Hei Hui's side."

Murata had both hands empty, but he got into the car smoothly, and he still had time to complain: "I don't want to go to Fuhei, I want to go home, can't you just send me back to the dojo? "

"I can't run that far now, and you still have unfinished business."

99 raised his hand to slap Murata on the head, but before he raised his hand, Murata avoided him.She was a little surprised, and whispered to herself: "...that ability is really innate?"

"If the old faction of the Wutiao family finds out, they will probably die of anger."

Murata wondered: "What ability?"

99 chuckled: "Nothing."

She refused to tell, so Murata stopped asking.He lowered his head and picked up a pumpkin seed from his hat, feeling bored.Even if he suddenly appeared in a completely unfamiliar environment, Murata didn't feel the slightest pleasure from it-spells, curses, spells, unknown people.

He didn't find it new or interesting. He wanted to go home for dinner instead of being sent to someone he didn't know.

The 99 motorcycle drove very fast, and when the wind was strong, Murata couldn't eat pumpkin seeds.And in order to prevent the pumpkin seeds inside the little yellow hat from being blown away, Murata had to hold the little yellow hat in his arms.

Finally, the motorcycle stopped at the entrance of an old residential area, 99: "Get off the car, I'll take you in."

Murata got out of the car slowly, holding the knife, the green dragonfly spike dangling on the handle, very conspicuous.

99 couldn't help but look at the spike of the sword a few more times, and said, "Didn't you say you hate hanging things on the handle of your sword?"

Murata glanced at the hanging sword tassel, raised his hand, and hooked the soft wings of the dragonfly with his slender fingers: "Hanging these fancy things on the handle of the knife will only hinder the knife, and it will not do any good."

99: "...Then you are still hanging on?"

There was a bit of displeasure on his face, his cheeks with baby fat were puffed up, and he said in a muffled voice, "It's not because of me."

It was hung by the future Murata.

99 quickly understood the meaning of Murata's words.She thought it was a little funny, but she didn't continue to ask.The current Murata has no memory at all, and even if he asks, he can't find out how Jiansui got here.

They passed through the gate of the community and walked through the narrow corridor.There were black criss-cross wires on the top of the aisle. When Murata raised his head, he saw a few birds flying across the clear blue sky.

Suddenly, Murata's gaze was fixed on a certain window—he saw a figure flash by, and before he could explain it, he jumped up and climbed up the platform between the window and the window like a dexterous cat.Murata's sudden action was too fast, and when 99 looked up, he had already climbed into a window on the third floor.

99 suddenly felt a headache, but he couldn't let Murata run around like this.She followed the illegal climbing and climbed into the window, and saw Murata standing in the middle of the room.

This is an empty, uninhabited single room, the ground is covered with a layer of dust, and several footprints can be seen.Murata jumped in directly from the window sill, so there were no extra footprints except for the place where his feet stepped on.

The footprint left on the ground consists of a smaller square and a larger triangle, which is what women's high-heeled shoes leave.Judging by the size, the owner of the shoes should be petite.

Murata probably saw the owner of the shoes before he ran up without authorization.

99 took a deep breath: "Murata, who did you see?"

Murata frowned: "A person who shouldn't appear here. She is not in good health and should stay at home to rest, and it is impossible to appear here."

99: "Someone you know?"

Murata walked out of the room and pushed open the concealed door: "A friend from my hometown."

It's in the tree.Murata didn't know why Juli appeared here, and he didn't even know why he was an adult, but Juri who flashed past the window just now looked like a child.

The footprints only stay at the window and disappear outside, as if the person standing at the window evaporated out of thin air.

99 followed Murata out of the room, she looked up at the room number: "...what a coincidence."

Murata looked at her: "What?"

99 pointed to the house numbers above the two of them: "This building happens to be the one where Fu Hei lives - two floors up is Fu Hei's house. Does your friend know Fu Heihui?"

Murata hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."

His hand holding the sun wheel knife tightened slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.Practicing knives all year round has indeed had a great impact on Murata's mood, at least no one can guess what he is thinking just by looking at his expression.Then he crossed 99 and walked towards the stairs.

99 was still thinking about Murata's words, and when he saw him walking upstairs, he showed a little surprised expression.She quickened her pace and caught up with Murata: "Where are you going?"

Murata: "Didn't you say that? Two floors up, it's Fuhei's house."

"Go and find Fu Heihui."

When the two arrived at the door of Fuhei's house, Murata was playing with the sword tassel on the hilt, and had no intention of knocking on the door himself. 99 had no choice but to knock on the door.

Soon the door opened a crack, and Fu Heihui, with messy hair, appeared at the door—he met 99's eyes with a puzzled expression: "Who are you looking for?"

99: "Are you Fu Heihui?"

Fu Heihui didn't understand, so he nodded. 99 Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and moved two steps to the side, revealing Murata behind him: "Murata accidentally fell under the curse of the curse spirit, and now his mind, memory and body have regressed back to the age of eight... I will give him My brother called, and his brother said that you can take care of him."

Fu Heihui was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't immediately understand what 99 meant.

He looked over to 'Murata', the little boy in front of him was only as high as his chest, with round cheeks and no expression on his face, but he was holding a black sun wheel knife.The cold and hard knife matches his three expressionless faces.

If it weren't for the highly similar facial features, Fu Heihui would hardly be able to connect the pretendingly indifferent and mature child in front of him with Murata.

Fu Heihui spoke with difficulty, her voice a little hoarse: "...Ah Li?"

This title made 99 prick up his ears in an instant, and looked back and forth between Murata and Fuheihui: "Wow——"

Komurata raised his eyes and looked at Fu Heihui: "I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between us in the future?"

Fu Heihui hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "Friend...friend."

To Murata when he was a child, he really couldn't say the word boyfriend.I feel that I will be reported by the adult next to me and sent to drink tea at any time.

Murata wiped his hands on his hoodie jacket, his face was expressionless, but his plum red pupils had faint signs of turning into vertical pupils.He stretched out his hand to Fu Heihui, and said solemnly: "Hello, big brother, my name is Rina Murata—"

Fu Heihui always felt that the scene in front of him looked familiar.He was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook Murata: "Hello."

99 Yuki: "Hey——"
