my brother is scumbag

Oda and I looked down at the wet hands protruding from the water, holding my and Oda's feet tightly.

Me: "Even mackerel is not fit to stay on the shore, so let's take him back to the river."

Oda: "Ah, but..."

But the man in the river has climbed up.

His hair was covered with weeds, and the slightly curly black hair was wetted into strands, and he let go of Oda's hand, and then both hands tightly hugged my leg, making that sticky feeling. A voice so muffled as to make one's scalp tingle.

"Ah, what a coincidence, is this a fateful reunion, Yui-chan~"

I shook my legs, but didn't shake him off, and the corner of my mouth twitched.

"Please don't be so intimate. Thank you. I don't know you well."

"Yuki-chan is really ruthless, obviously I left home and gave up my family because of your words, but in the end you just abandoned me all the time—"

His voice immediately became pitiful.

Oda: "Start in chaos and end in abandonment?"

I:"……"

Damn it, don't use idioms indiscriminately for me, bastard!

And Oda, you too, don't believe everything! !

I'm pretty sure I was hooked.

And he was taken by a mackerel.

In fact, I really want to treat him as if he doesn't exist, but this person is really good at talking, and he is also very good at observing people's hearts. Just a few words make Oda feel that he can't let him go.

Because this guy said his wallet was washed away while diving, and he hasn't eaten much in over a day.

"If he really left home because of what you said to Yui, he can't really starve to death here." Oda said.

"Yes, yes, yes~" The guy nodded seriously at the side, echoing Oda's words.

Me: "...only one meal."

He immediately raised his hands and cheered: "Yeah!"

In the end, the three of us found a restaurant nearby. When we walked in, the waiter’s eyes fell on us, and he paused for a while. He stayed on the guy for a longer time, obviously wondering about the water marks on his body, with a look of desire. The expression of saying nothing.

But probably because the expressions on the faces of the three of us were very calm, in the end the waiter didn't say anything, but silently led us to the empty seats by the French windows.

After ordering the meal and waiting for the food to be served, the table fell into silence for a while.

"Speaking of which, I already know Yui-chan's name, but Yui-chan doesn't seem to know my name~"

The first to speak was the mackerel sitting across from me.

I propped my chin, feeling uninterested: "Forget it, anyway, after this meal, we won't have the chance to meet again."

I really have no interest in his name or other information.

This kind of guy looks like a troublesome walking body at first glance.

"That's not necessarily true."

He smiled at me, pointing.

"There might be something Yui-chan is interested in here."

"what?"

I looked at him and raised my eyebrows slightly, "Why don't I know what I'm interested in."

He blinked, "Like—"

"It happened thousands of years ago." When he said this, his voice was light and ethereal.

My heart skipped a beat and I stared at him closely.

"What do you mean?"

As a result, this guy didn't answer my question at all, but turned his head to look at the waiter who came over with the food.

"Very hungry, very hungry~"

I:"……"

I took a deep breath, turned my head to look at Oda, smiled and said, "Oda, shall we throw him back into the river?"

Oda showed a thoughtful expression, and then answered me seriously.

"But we've promised to keep him fed, at least until then."

"Yes--"

The mackerel essence picked up a piece of food and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was bulging, and he still pointed at me.

"Don't be so impatient, Yui-chan~"

"Anyway, I have to let people fill their stomachs before they have the strength to speak."

"Girls should be more considerate, this way they will be more popular."

"If you go on talking—"

I squeezed out a smile and said softly to him, "I'll just push your head into this table."

Oda: "If you press it into the table, do we have to compensate the shopkeeper?"

I:"……"

Whose friend are you, Oda? !

In fact, you are the undercover agent sent by the mackerel opposite, right? !

"Pfft."

The mackerel let out a small, but still distinct laugh.

The anger I had been holding back in my heart was burst like a balloon and vented out from the hole, and I couldn't continue to maintain the original momentum, so I couldn't help lying on the table.

"Let me be quiet first." I said weakly, turning my head to look at the street outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There are people coming and going outside the street, because there happens to be an amusement park nearby, so there is a lot of traffic.

Some are friends walking together on twitter, some are intimate couples, and even more are parents with children...

"Ok?"

I straightened up suddenly.

Oda sitting next to me and the mackerel spirit on the opposite side were both attracted by my movements, and followed them to look at the street outside.

"Ah, it's Miss Hida." The mackerel chuckled lightly, with a rather meaningful tone.

A luxury car was parked on the opposite side of the street, and the people who came out of it were the same people I saw at the banquet.

Hida Saki, the head of the Hida family, the man with the thin black line on his forehead that looks like the head of the house, and the boy in the monk's robe.

After they got out of the car, they walked towards the amusement park with a clear purpose until their backs disappeared into the crowd.

"After leaving the banquet that day, I thought about it and thought your suggestion was very good."

The voice of the mackerel spirit suddenly sounded at this moment.

I withdrew my gaze from the outside and turned to look at him.At this time, he put down the tableware, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at me with a slight smile.

Those iris-colored eyes were as deep as the bottomless sea.It seems that a huge wave may be swallowed up at any time.

"So before leaving that home, I checked some more things."

"Then, I discovered something very interesting."

He pointed to the gate of the amusement park opposite.

"Thousands of years ago, that place used to be the place where a girl died. The curse that was born from her caused even the King of Curses to suffer a lot."

"..."

My pupils shrank slightly because of his words, and the memory that had been buried deep in my mind resurfaced again.

I remembered.

In my last life, I sent my friend away at that place, and then died there.

Now, a thousand years later, it has become an amusement park.

"You mean," I frowned, "the purpose of those people in the amusement park is not pure?"

He blinked at my question.

"Well, actually, I probably guessed what they wanted to do, but—"

He paused, his smile became subtler, and his tone began to change in the direction of beating.

"I don't want to tell Yui-chan~"

"Even the information just now was in exchange for the suggestion that Yui-chan had given me."

Equivalent exchange?

I looked at the half-eaten food in front of him, "Did you forget who paid for this meal?"

"That's what Yui-chan owes me—"

He folded his arms across his chest, speaking with a firm tone.

"It was because of what Yui-chan said that I ran to Yokohama, and then I met a nasty guy."

When he said the last sentence, I always felt that he seemed to emphasize his tone.

"Don't blame me for what you did, bastard."

I said angrily, paused, and decided to try it out.

"If I want you to speak out, what will I have to pay?"

"This is-"

He pressed his jaw lightly and fell into a state of thinking. I waited patiently for him, and then saw his eyes brighten up, looked up at me, and said in an excited tone:

"Why don't Yui-chan just be my dog."

He gestured excitedly.

"This way I can tell you anything!"

"..."

My fist is hard.

"Wow——Is Yui-chan going to kill me!"

"Calm down, Yui!"

"Ahhh Oda, let me go, I'm going to let this bastard know what is measured today, why are the flowers so red——"

"Aww, it hurts—"

A few minutes later, I huddled pitifully on the seat with tears in the corners of my eyes and a bag of mackerel on my head. I sneered and put the rolled up sleeves back, and Oda silently handed me a glass of water and put it in front of me.

"So, I really hate pain..."

The mackerel spirit muttered resentfully.

"I'll give you another chance to speak well."

His miserable life did not arouse the slightest pity in me, mainly because this kind of result was all done by himself.

"Well……"

He put away the pitiful expression on his face, and his eyes fell on my left eye.

"Then use the power of your eyes on me."

"..."

I looked at him critically, it wasn't the first time he had made such a request.

He also mentioned it when he met him at a banquet last time.

It's just a threat as a condition.

And this time, he said so again.

"why?"

When I asked, I was somewhat puzzled by his persistence.

He tilted his head, with a half-smile, "Probably because I want to know whether such eyes can really bring people to death in the illusion."

"I've never tried this way of dying."

I:"……"

This guy is indeed a problem.

His understanding of me was still wrong last time, but now he has understood the true ability of my eyes.

Even he has started to trace the roots.

So much so that I can't figure out how deep his understanding of me is.

At this moment, I weighed in my heart whether to promise him this matter.The main reason is whether to get involved with this troublesome spirit in order to find out what the Hida family is doing.

But soon, a loud noise from outside interrupted my thoughts.

boom--

The sound of a building collapsing came from the amusement park, followed by an invisible force sweeping away, even spreading to the restaurant where we were.

And this power doesn't feel good to me.

It made me subconsciously feel disgusted, and even the Sharingan in my left eye was about to pop out.

"Ahhh-"

The body of someone on the street was broken from the middle out of thin air, and blood splashed like a fountain, showering the faces of passers-by beside him. A few seconds later, the scream exploded!

At the same time, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis, but saw nothing.

"careful!"

Oda's voice sounded, and my body suddenly flew into the air, and he carried me away from the original position, while he held the mackerel essence in his other hand.

And the seat we were sitting on seemed to be smashed down by some existence, and Oda led us out of the restaurant again, the street was already in chaos, and someone who ran would be like the person at the beginning. He was injured suddenly out of thin air and died on the spot.

The body that has lost its vitality cannot rest in peace, because there are existences in the air that most people cannot see, gnawing at the corpse.

I can't see those exist.

but……

The eyes of Oda and Mackerel Spirit obviously fell on certain ranges.

"It's a curse spirit." Oda said.

"There are a lot~" Mackerel sighed briskly, then raised his head, looked around, and smiled.

"Ah, this area is also sealed off, so I can't get out at all."

"It's really scary~"
