Gunslinger from Butei

Fuheisher didn't care about Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's words that seemed to be compliments or sarcasm.Under a head of black and soft short hair, a handsome face grinned wantonly, revealing white teeth: "It's no problem if it's just monitoring, but if something unexpected happens, I have to do extra work. So, I need to add more work." money."

"Yes." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka agreed without blinking.

The two were hiding in a deep mountain at this time.In the heart of this mountain forest, there is a shrine that is famous nearby.

According to the information obtained by Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, this shrine enshrines a very old sacred tree.

There have been many miraculous things that have come true in that tree full of royal coins.Therefore, until a few decades ago, it was still very much awed by the people around it.But in this generation, the god who inherited the shrine at home often travels outside and does not do business.Without the divine master who presided over various ceremonies, this place gradually fell into disrepair.

Even so, the legend about the sacred tree in the center of the shrine has been handed down.Most of the young people have heard the old people at home nagging the story of the god tree, so even if it is not as prosperous as it was in its heyday, there will always be one or two devout believers who will come to pray and clean it by themselves.

For this reason, shrines without their masters do not appear deserted.

Now ahead of them was a woman in a kimono, slowly climbing up the stairs.It seems that he is also one of the devout believers, so he dragged his weak body at first glance, holding a paper umbrella alone, and quietly walked towards the shrine under the setting sun in the evening.

A gradually declining shrine, a loyal believer.It just seemed like such an ordinary thing.

But if it was just like this, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka would never waste time standing here.

The seemingly peaceful and simple shrine is not as ordinary as it looks.In the void invisible to ordinary people, layers of barriers are built around the entire building, and the protection strength even exceeds the level of the Tianyuan barrier of Tokyo High School.

——The above conclusion comes from Mr. Fuheshier, an experienced conjurer and killer.Ayanokōji Kiyotaka didn't want to know why he knew so well about the enchantment of the high school, but he basically trusted his judgment.Therefore, he became more and more sure that he did not find the wrong person.

During the exorcism event at Shibuya Station, when Oda Haiyin took her friends to have fun, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka hacked into the surveillance camera to keep vigilant.Whether it was the trapped people at the time of the incident, the passengers who were evacuated in time, or the onlookers who were blocked outside to watch the excitement from the beginning, he included them all in the scope of investigation.After the incident, through various means to check back and forth, three suspicious candidates were finally identified.

Brain injury, plastic surgery failure, fear of the sun... No matter what, he would never show his forehead outside, and even at home, he would cover it up too deliberately. Kiyotaka Ayanokōji had reason to believe that there was a deliberate trick set up by the black hand behind the scenes.

Even three could be a shield for cover.

But after checking the information of the three of them back and forth, he still locked on the only woman among them.

Because of Oda Kaiyin's previous warning, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka did not act without authorization.He is still self-aware.He can display his talents to the fullest when the enemy is out in the dark, but once he is discovered, the situation can be reversed in an instant.

Fortunately, there are more or less ways to track people on the premise of ensuring their own safety.The easiest way is to hire a bodyguard who is reputable, powerful and not in the world of conjuration.

It is precisely because he is an ordinary person who is incompatible with the world of conjurers but has dealt with frequently, that Ayanokōji Kiyotaka knows it very well.How useful is a conjurer killer who has zero magic power, has a super strong body, and even has a strong resistance to magic spells.In the current magic world, he is equivalent to a walking bug. For ordinary magicians, it is a place of life and death. He can walk back and forth like a walk.

After all, without spell power, it is impossible to trigger those vicious curses and spells developed for conjurers.

Taking advantage of the little friendship formed during the previous night at the Zen Academy, Qingtaka Ayanokouji caught this idle and tyrant who hangs out with rich women in the clubhouse by virtue of sufficient rewards and speaking skills without passing through Kong Shiyu. come out.

It was also because of him that Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was able to leave with peace of mind after receiving the call from Oda Kaiyin.Because of the contact during this period of time, he is sure that Fuhesher's IQ and resilience are considered to be at the top level.When the mercenary money is in place and the position is not hostile, he will behave quite reliably.

From Fuheshier's point of view, he is actually not short of money at the moment.Part of the reason for agreeing to this commission is because of his interest and faint malice towards this brown-haired boy who stepped into the opportunity of a conjurer.

He has no magic power, nor is he bound by heaven or curse, just an ordinary person with a fragile body.

Was he really aware of the fact that in this dark and treacherous world of spells, whether it was the curse of the magician, spells, or endless streams of spells, he could easily kill him?

Whether it's admiration, gratitude, curiosity, or any other idea, ordinary people who step in with a hasty mentality, as far as he knows, are not spared, and will leave their lives here.

And this young man with amazing intelligence and city skills should not be unable to see through such an end.

So, with subtle interest and malice, when the young man was about to turn around and leave, Fu Heisher asked in a low voice, "You don't seem like the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for love, do you?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was a little puzzled: "...I don't quite understand what you mean."

The boy's eyes were calm and unwavering.The golden pupils never seem to reflect the people and things in front of them.Fu Heisher suddenly remembered where he had actually seen this kind of look—it was a look of nothingness that ignored everything around him and regarded himself as nothing.

But it is the young man with such empty eyes who has worked tirelessly for Oda Haiyin to take risks several times.But when the two of them got together before, they didn't seem to maintain that kind of ambiguous relationship.

Seeing this kind of strange person for the first time, Fu Heisher did not know what kind of mentality he was in, so he took the initiative to explore other people's affairs.He hooked his lips, and pointed out: "So, I'm asking you, what kind of mood do you have, to do this for a heartless guy. It's not just because she saved you once Bar?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said in a calm tone; "What is 'this level'? Fuguro-kun, it's time for you to stop talking riddles, I'm in a hurry."

Fuhesher: "Huh? Are you playing dumb?"

The boy looked up at the unpredictable Fuheshier, thinking, this guy looks like he needs a decent reason to work with peace of mind.

so troublesome.Feel free to perfunctory.

"All in all." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said casually, "As the eldest lady said, so far, I am on the same side as her. Until a certain necessary moment comes, I will be her strength. Therefore, for her Get rid of everything that might threaten her. Isn't that a matter of course?"

"Tsk." Fu Heisher was slightly speechless, "I only heard that conjurers are lunatics. Obviously there are many ordinary people."

With the twisted bond between Oda Haiyin and Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, no one has noticed anything wrong with the way of getting along. Like a time bomb, there will be a very interesting development one day.

But...forget it.It's none of my business anyway.

The tall young man resumed his initial indifference.After watching Ayanokōji Kiyotaka go away, he watched the young woman in front of him finally climbed the long stone steps and began to walk towards the red torii gate.

He stretched himself, and started his actions unhurriedly.

Starting from the stone steps, the enchantment was arranged, and every human being who passed was dutifully inspected.

No matter how clever a conjurer is, he can't get past the detection of the enchantment. Once discovered, the entire interlocking enchantment system will completely reveal its fangs.

However, after a woman with a long umbrella passed by, Fu Heisher passed the barrier test as if nothing had happened.

The sky and spells with zero magic power allow him to ignore most of the enchantments that target conjurers.This one is no exception.

As the evening approached, more and more people came to worship here.

Most of the crowd are students after class and school, and office workers after get off work.

Two young high school girls came together after school to pay homage to the sacred tree that is said to have a magical effect on marriage.

The two were still happily chatting with each other, but when a tall man beside him walked up the stone steps nonchalantly, they couldn't help being stunned.

Their eyes widened in bewilderment.The tall body of the man walking in front, the smooth muscular outline that almost tore his clothes, the fleeting handsome face, the cold and evil corner of his mouth, and the old scar on his lip are just a shock. A glance, but let the two young girls deeply into the mind.Such a mature man exuding a dangerous temperament is a special attack on JK.Let the two high school girls who were still obsessed with the school grass in the school suddenly fall in love with each other.

The two blushed and leaned against each other, screaming in a low voice, sharing the explosive feeling in their hearts just now.Although the man in front of them had gone far away, they all felt that this action was worthwhile and that Yushenmu was too powerful.

Stepping briskly and silently across the red torii gate, sneering at the so-called realm of gods, Zenyuan Shier locked on the figure of the woman in front of her from a distance, and constantly shifted her position as she moved. Gradually, she was located in the center of the shrine, surrounded by countless The sacred tree surrounded by gobi wrapped in rope appeared before his eyes.

At that moment, Fu Heisher's muscles tensed for a moment.

The so-called heaven and curse, originally should not be able to sense the magic power.

But at that moment, there seemed to be an incomparably ancient picture slowly unfolding in front of him.What kind of strange spell is this, can it actually work on him?

"Who!"

Even when the woman with the long umbrella enters the torii, which symbolizes the realm of the gods, she still behaves calmly, gracefully and reservedly.There is no intention of putting down the long umbrella.If this shrine didn't even have a maiden, someone would have come up to reprimand her for disrespecting the god tree.

However, Fu Heisher's breath leaked just now, which caused her to turn around abruptly, and for the first time a ferocious expression appeared on her face.

Fu Heisher frowned, and with his rich experience, he stepped back before the other party followed the traces to find him.

The wind blew over the sacred tree, making a rustling sound, and the pure white imperial coins fluttered with the wind, as if sighing silently.

When Ayanokōji Kiyotaka arrived, Oda Haiyin was sitting on a stone in the forest.Her hands were like magic, teasing the two children with wide-eyed eyes with frequently changing construction formulas.

Chanyuan Maki was still dazzled, her eyes excited and novel.In the eyes of Shinyomi of the Zen Academy, Oda Haiyin, who can use the construction technique to achieve this level, is as powerful as a god.

The little girl's face was flushed, and she looked at the girl with eyes full of admiration.

"Ah! Ayanokouji-kun, you're a bit late." Hearing the sound of the car's accelerator, Oda Kaiyin bent his eyes and turned his head, meeting the eyes of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who was sitting in the car.

She smiled and waved at the brown-haired boy.

"Forgive me. I set off as soon as I received the call." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's eyes seemed inexplicably unmotivated.He lowered his eyes, looked at the two twins who were approaching with Oda Haiyin, and asked calmly, "Are these two the children mentioned on the phone?"

"That's right, they are all cute." Oda Haiyin rubbed the cheeks of the two little girls showing off.

Maki shook her head uncomfortably, frowning and trying to shake off the hand on her face.

But Zhenyi was obediently being rubbed on her cheeks, without any thought of resisting, she seemed very happy.

Two children with distinct personalities.

After almost meeting each other, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka saw through their characters.

"Then, let's go." He didn't say much, he just beckoned the girl and the little girl to get into the car, and asked the driver to drive to the nearby commercial street.

"First of all, we need to buy some daily necessities for them, right?" After going through a similar process a few days ago, Oda Haiyin enthusiastically dragged two little girls into the children's clothing store.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka naturally followed behind her.

The strange combination attracted frequent glances from others.The youthful, beautiful, delicate and feminine girl and the brown-haired boy who looks like a passer-by, if it's just the two of them, at most they're just a couple who don't quite match each other.

But the two were accompanied by two little girls.It's still the kind of little girl who wears a dirty kimono and looks like she has rolled on the ground.She doesn't look like a younger sister, nor does she look like a daughter. If it wasn't for Oda Haiyin's good looks, there might be some wonderful misunderstandings.

In the eyes of the passers-by, both Oda Haiyin and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka are calm and composed, but the Zenyuan sisters cannot be so indifferent.

Zenyuan Zhenyi grabbed her sister's sleeve without raising her head, and carefully followed behind Oda Haiyin, following her steps like a little tail.

Maki is much bolder.The little girl who had never been out of the house looked around curiously at the surrounding scenes, the dazzling array of shops and the merchandise in the window.When she met other people's eyes, she would frown, stare back with wide eyes, and had to wait for others to look away first.

After repeating this kind of thing for a while, Zenyuan Maki's freshness gradually disappeared, and she lost the interest in looking around.She blinked her big eyes, and her eyes fell on the young man beside her.After staring at the young man for a while, Zenyuan Maki asked in a low voice, "Hey, are you Oda-san's boyfriend?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka didn't blink, and replied flatly: "No."

Oda Haiyin heard their conversation in the front, turned around with a smile and said, "Ayanokōji-kun is the same as you, I picked him up and raised him."

"But you both look about the same age?" Zenyuan Maki was a little shocked. How young was the sister in front of her who started picking people up at home?

"Forgive me. These years, I have been raising you more, miss." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka sighed slightly, raised his eyelids vaguely, and said slowly.

Oda Haiyin suddenly puffed up his cheeks, and was about to refute, but when he recalled carefully, he realized that he couldn't deny what Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said.

Although Oda Haiyin spent more time taking care of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka two years ago when she picked him up, but since then, she has gotten used to asking Ayanokouji to handle any troublesome things.

Whether it is encountering troublesome wild spell spirits, collecting emergency information, dealing with survivors who have been rescued by settlement, or some trivial matters in life, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji can do it perfectly.Such an all-rounder will become addicted to use.

After realizing this, Oda Haiyin fell into deep thought.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka did not speak any more.But Zenyuan Zhenyi secretly observed the two of them, and always felt that the elder brother's mood subtly improved.

In a somewhat quiet atmosphere, they finished shopping for the daily necessities of the sisters in the Chanyuan.

Then it was time to say goodbye.

Oda Haiyin bent down and rubbed the heads of the two little girls: "Be obedient, I will call you. But you are not allowed to call casually~ because I hate answering the phone~"

When waiting for someone earlier, Oda Haiyin had already explained his current academic status to the two children.

It is too embarrassing for a high school JK to raise cubs on campus.

So so far, handing them over to Ayanokouji is the best way.Oda Haiyin vaguely knew that many of the people he had rescued before had connections and contacts with Ayanokōji.With the contacts he has now, it is more than enough to train two young magician girls.

Although they were still at a loss about the future, under the girl's gentle gaze, the two little girls nodded obediently.

Even after accepting this reality, after the girl left alone, the atmosphere among the remaining one, one, two, and three people suddenly cooled down.

After Oda Haiyin left, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka had no intention of communicating with them.He lowered his head and fiddled with the phone screen in his hand. There was no highlight in his golden eyes, and he seemed to have completely forgotten the two little girls next to him.

Zenyuan Zhenyi was naturally sensitive, thoughtful, and looked at the young man in front of him, instinctively daring not to talk to him.

But Zenyuan Maki was very daring. The little girl stared at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, and suddenly asked a somewhat offensive question: "Hey, are you an ordinary person?"

"My name is Ayanokōji Kiyotaka. Just call me by my name from now on." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked down at Zenin Maki, and replied in a calm tone, "That's right. I'm about the same type as you."

"Are you also Heaven and Curse?" Maki asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm talking about the side with weak spell power." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said quite harshly with a deadpan face.

"Huh?!" Chanyuan Maki jumped up angrily, waving her small fists in the air, "You bastard, you are so annoying!"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's tone was unmotivated: "I'm just telling the truth. If I have to say it, Maki who started this topic first is annoying."

Zenyuan Zhenyi flinched.Seeming to have discovered something, he carefully looked up at the young man's face.

"You guy, don't you really hate us, don't you?" The hearts of the twins are in common at this moment, Zenyuan Maki also felt that something was wrong, and asked directly.

"No. Even if it's hate, it's not aimed at you." Ayanokōji said softly.He seemed to be lowering his head to operate the phone. After a while, the boy raised his head and greeted the two again, "It's okay, let's go."

"Are you going to arrange for us to go to a school for ordinary people?" In the car, Maki couldn't hold back and asked, "Send me to learn martial arts! I want to become stronger soon!"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at her pure and firm eyes, and nodded slightly: "This is also the expectation of the eldest lady. Don't worry, I will find a suitable teacher for you."

"Do what you say! Ayanokōji, Oda-san said, you are also a child picked up by him." Chanyuan Maki raised her head, gave him a provocative look, and said, "I will become stronger soon. ! Strong enough to help Oda-san! At that time, I was the one standing next to her! Don't cry, okay?"

"Really?" Ayanokouji Qingtaka lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the little girl in the back seat for the first time, and said lightly, "Then please work a hundred times harder. Otherwise, you will not be able to do it."

He didn't look irritated at all, and his calm attitude was clearly contemptuous!Zenyuan Maki was furious.If it wasn't for the fact that this guy seemed like an ordinary person, she would have punched him already!

Zenyuan really leaned on her sister, smiling and watching her full of energy.

In some respects, Zhenyi, who knows her sister quite well, has seen some clues.In fact, my sister also admires Haiyin, a handsome big sister.It was because of this that she was full of hostility towards Ayanokouji who was next to her big sister.Because... when they were talking just now, the atmosphere was so harmonious that they couldn't join in at all.

Zhenyi hid the uneasiness at that moment deeply in her heart, while Maki chose to burst out her emotions.

"I'm telling the truth. To me now, you are not as valuable as your mother in terms of use value." Qinglong Ayanokouji suddenly threw a bomb lightly, "You really give me a headache. Will you calm down a little when you see your mother?"

"What are you talking about?" Chanyuan Maki was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression, "Mother...??"

The mother of the twins is the head maid of the Chanyuan family.

The status is higher than that of ordinary maids.But it is still a job of serving others.Because of this, I always neglect to take care of the sisters in the Buddhist monastery, and when facing them, my expression is always indifferent.

Compared to my father, who is a first-class conjurer, my mother can be said to be very small.But even so, because of Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's way of expressing, Zenin Zhenyi has already clenched his fists.The talent of Heaven and Curse meant that once Maki got serious, she couldn't be treated as an ordinary little girl at all.She stared at the young man in front of her coldly, and said fiercely, "Say it again, what are you going to use my mother for?"

"If this sentence makes you unhappy, I apologize. It's not taking advantage, it's just a mutually beneficial transaction." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka raised the phone in his hand.It was that upright and indifferent face that appeared in the center of the screen.

"Mom!" The figure of the mother who just said goodbye to each other unexpectedly left the country, which shocked the two little girls.

The woman in proper maid attire looked at her two daughters through the screen with complicated eyes.

There was a slight glint of water in those eyes that were as calm as stagnant water.

A woman who has been able to survive for so many years in a Zen monastery full of rules and oppression has a very keen sense of smell.Just like before the disaster comes, some tiny insects and ants are always the first to be sensed.

The head maid also felt the stormy atmosphere of the Chanyuan family from a very early age.When the men of the Buddhist monastery with faintly divided beliefs competed for power and interests, they never took a second look at the women who were serving on the left and right.Because of this, they do not hide anything from them.

Even Chanyuan fan, her husband, who secretly tried to reform the Zenyuan family and seized the position of head of the family, was the same.

For many years, he never thought highly of her, or the daughters she gave birth to.

That's why he didn't notice.A pair of calm eyes like stagnant water secretly watched everything that happened after he was approached by outsiders.

Now it's her turn to make a choice.

If it was before Oda Kaiyin came to the door, the head maid would undoubtedly stand by her husband's side.Follow the rules, never offend, this is what she has relied on to survive safely until now.But on the day when the girl blasted open the door of the Chanyuan family with extremely strong firepower... when she smiled contemptuously and unscrupulously crushed the dignity of all the men in the Zenyuan family, it seemed that she also brought the embers of the brilliant and beautiful fireworks into the world. She, or their hearts.

Therefore, when she learned that her daughter who had also awakened [Construction Art] was taken away by Oda Haiyin, her heart was filled with unbelievable ecstasy, and it took a lot of effort to maintain that calm expression.

Since then, she has actually made a choice.

"...Everything is as you expected. The Chanyuan fan does have a dirty mind. Let me sort out the information later and report it later." The head maid bowed down respectfully, facing the fixed mobile phone in front of her. Dali, he didn't care that this was seen by his daughters.She tried her best to say in a steady tone, "My two clumsy daughters, please take care of me."

"You will see their growth." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka promised, "This is also her wish."
