K-type Mage

"—So Mr. Minamoto left? Left Yokohama?" Osamu Dazai asked in an exaggerated tone in disbelief, "Did you do nothing, Mr. Mori?!"

The man behind the desk scratched his hair, and buried his face in his folded arms helplessly and annoyed.

"Mr. Yuan is too cunning." He complained in an aggrieved voice, "By the time he realized it, he was waiting for me to come and say goodbye! Mr. Q didn't cry at all!"

He even took the initiative to learn "how to become a powerful adult like Mr. Gen." Mori Ogai also bought a box of upgraded preschool toys and picture books yesterday.

"..." Osamu Dazai pursed his lips, not concealing his evil thoughts of wanting to take advantage of children at all.It's really a good temper for Mr. Yuan to choose to say goodbye to him kindly.

Yuan Shen left Yokohama directly on the second day of his farewell. He put his luggage on his back and said goodbye to the people he had known in the past three months, saying that he was going on a trip.Calmly, it seems that he is really a traveler whose journey never ends.

Mori Ogai straightened his body and returned to his calm appearance as the leader. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer: "Well...there is a contact information. I am really curious about how Mr. Minamoto sees the world."

Although every conversation feels like talking a lot, and even makes people feel very frank, in fact, the information revealed is pitifully small.

But he didn't choose to be suspicious of the people and things he met.

"Actually, I really hate this world." Osamu Dazai said, his expression showed disgust and boredom, "Forcing myself to like and face it, I am really not frank."

"Interesting conclusion." Mori Ogai smiled, "But I don't think so, Dazai-kun." He rubbed the white paper with the contact information written in his hand, recalling the words and smiles of the young man by the river that day.

Frank kindness.

Reasonable entertainment.

It is so powerful that it cannot be guessed.

“Maybe it’s just not knowing how to [re]like,” he said. “I think it has something to do with his long life. Maybe he is human, or was.”

"..." Osamu Dazai was silent for a while, then snorted angrily, "You really like me."

Mr. Sen handed over the paper and smiled meaningfully: "It's more than just flattering."

Dazai Osamu, who didn't take the paper, just glanced at the string of numbers and wrote down the number, looked at him, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, and the gloomy iris-colored pupils gathered maliciously, and finally just put his hands in his pockets to show an expression of approval: " Indeed, cats, dogs and other animals really like him."

"Yes, yes~" Mori Ogai echoed.

They laughed face to face for a while, and then Osamu Dazai showed an undisguised disgusted expression: "This is really disgusting. Mr. Mori, I'm going first."

"You can tell Chuya-kun the contact information, Dazai-kun."

"Okay, I will, I will tell."

Osamu Dazai walked out of the chief's office, his expression unchanged, but he still sighed in his heart.

Although I knew it was impossible to hide, but I was surprised to be able to guess it after only seeing Gen-san once again.Sure enough, it's because Zhong also can't hide it-he obviously got the lines right!

...But I didn't say anything weird and dirty, probably because I'm in a good mood recently.

He continued to walk.

*

No matter what a smart person thinks, it has nothing to do with Yuan Shen.

After all, he didn't just bid farewell to Mori Ogai.After staying in Yokohama for three months, it is naive to think that he is an old man with a fixed life trajectory.

After all, he is the giver of the barrier covering Yokohama.There is no problem at all if you separate yourself——

Ah, the big white tiger is really soft when rubbed.

Evil □ □ events were also forced to stop.

You can take care of it for a while, but it is impossible to take care of it for a lifetime.Yuan Shen was very aware of this matter, so he didn't intervene much in the development of those children, nor did he appear in front of them, but just took care of them a little bit.

Saying "I'm going to travel" and leaving again is a memorable thing for the traveler.

Before his real body time travel, he carried a backpack and bid farewell to the people he knew near his home and went out to travel.

And never went back.

It is entirely conceivable that he will become the protagonist in the news of "missing donkey friends".There is no nostalgia there, and the ontology will have an impact on the earth in the past, so Yuanshen gave up the idea of ​​"going home".

The destination after leaving Yokohama is a town on the edge of Tokyo that is a bit secluded but has good traffic conditions.

There are not many or powerful spells, but the number of monsters is quite large because they are close to nature.

When Yuan Shen came here, he lived in a hotel, because he hadn't decided how long he would stay here, and he was too lazy to buy a house.

It's not bad to live like this.

……

Natsume Takashi was walking back to Sabe's house with his schoolbag on his back, his back slightly hunched, as if something heavy was pressing on him.The sun was hanging obliquely in the sky, and the light shone on the boy, casting a long shadow on the ground.

He was used to going to school and going home alone, and he looked very lonely in contrast to the few people around him who were also on their way home, fighting and laughing.

After turning a corner, the laughter of his peers went away. He clenched the strap of his schoolbag tightly and walked down an alley with a lonely expression.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound in my ear, followed by a crisp sound like broken porcelain.

He was startled, and turned his head to look deep into the dark alley. There was a faint figure in the shadow against the sun. When he came out, he felt a frozen chill for some reason, and it quickly dissipated like an illusion.

The young man with black hair and black pupils looked at the boy, nodded politely, and smiled warmly and kindly: Good afternoon, Natsume-kun. "

The hotel guests from out of town also have some value as a table talk in the neighborhood during the week.

Good looks, young age, and behavior that seems to have time to wander around town every day.And with many good hearts—

"Mr. Yuan... good afternoon." Natsume Takashi, who was able to escape because of the appearance of a young man when he was surrounded by his peers and called him a "liar", has a good impression of him, and at this moment he also responded meekly, "Excuse me, just now What’s your voice?” It always felt like the sound of a flowerpot falling, wondering if Mr. Yuan was okay—with such worries, the boy took the initiative to ask.

"Ah, it's nothing, a flowerpot fell." Yuanshen replied like this, walked a few steps outside, and the flowerpot on the ground behind him after walking out of the alley also appeared in Natsume Takashi's sight, "It's lucky, there is no Being hit, Natsume-kun made you worry."

"...No, as long as you are fine." The boy whispered, showing a shy smile.

Yuan Shen shook his hands naturally: "Let's go back together."

Next door to the hotel is the Sabe family where Natsume Takashi is now staying.

"Okay, okay!" The boy who couldn't refuse stuttered, his ears were a little red because of such an answer, and he was so regretful that he didn't dare to look at the young man's expression.

The young man just looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Natsume-kun, I don't think I'm a villain."

"...You are a good man, Mr. Yuan." The boy said nervously, "Thank you very much for helping me before." He still couldn't treat the young man with the behavior he should have at this age, but it was obvious that he had Relaxed a little.

Yuan Shen didn't say anything more about it, he was still a child after all.

They took steps together.

The two adults in the Sabe family occasionally cook at home after get off work, and more often they eat bento or company dinners outside; eight-year-old Natsume Takashi has learned to cook simple dinners.

When walking through the commercial street, Yuanshen stopped his eyes at a crepe shop; then he squatted down and seriously asked Natsume Takashi for advice: "Natsume-kun, I really want to eat crepes, do you want to eat them?" ?”

"...Huh? Why," asked me?Natsume Takashi, who was walking on the ground with all his heart, opened his light brown eyes wide in surprise, and looked at the young man in front of him who was staring at him, "Mr. Yuan, you..."

"Because it's too cruel to go back with Natsume-kun and you, but I'm the only one with food." Genbuka said confidently, "Don't reject me, Natsume-kun, as adults, children must be taken care of! I Go buy it now, please wait here."

The young man who was talking to himself didn't give the boy a chance to react at all, he straightened up and rushed to the crepe shop.

Natsume Takashi stood where he was, with a blank face: "...?"

He looked at the young man standing in front of the stage talking to the staff, so he had to stand obediently and wait for someone to come back.

My stomach growled.He lowered his head in embarrassment.Although there will be fried eggs and bread in the morning, I just bought fried noodles and bread at school at noon, and I am hungry very quickly.

Mr. Yuan... did you hear that?

……

"Here, it's hot!" Yuan Shen smiled and handed over a crepe, and said without refusal, "Natsume-kun, you can't refuse."

Natsume Takashi blinked, his fingers clenched the strap of the schoolbag uneasily, and finally stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

"The crepes in this store are super delicious, Natsume-kun, you should try them out." Yuan Shen said, taking a bite first.

Seeing that he didn't look at him, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, and tentatively imitated the other party and took a bite of the food that still smelled hot and sweet.

——Well, it's so sweet!

Sugar has the effect of soothing the soul. The boy opened his eyes wide for a moment, and then he ate seriously.

Kids really like sweets.Yuan Shen thought so, and licked his index finger covered with icing sugar, thinking that this restaurant is indeed as delicious as the reviews.

Takashi Natsume can see monsters.When Genbuka rode out on a borrowed hotel bicycle that day, he could tell at a glance that the boy surrounded by the corner of the street had powerful spiritual power—a power that was completely different from the concepts related to spells.

It might be more suitable to describe such a power on the side of the exorcist.

It was obvious that young children couldn't deal with the monsters and spells that could pop up from all corners and in various ways, and the occasional inappropriate reaction caused others to cast strange glances.

Seeing what others don't see is uniqueness.People naturally reject the special.The whispers of the adults will not be revealed in front of the children, but the innocence and cruelty of the children are unreserved.

Although they are all children, there is no excessive physical bullying, but the strange eyes and attitudes, and sometimes undisguised words are not pleasant.

The powerful spiritual power is extremely attractive to monsters when it is uncontrollable. The only thing that is gratifying is that the place where the child went is not a big city, and there is no big city that can overwhelm the purification effect of the spiritual power. curse spirit.

In this case, let's get along well with such a special good boy here first.

Yuan Shen made a decision like this.

The author has something to say:

＊About setting: ①The spiritual power is only possessed by the demon master, and the mantra power is possessed by everyone - the difference is only in strength (except heaven and curse).

② People with spiritual power can see monsters and curse spirits, and demon masters can also remove curses; conjurers can only see monsters after their curse power reaches a certain level (same as ordinary people see curse spirits) .

③Yokai can decide to reveal their body shape by themselves, but curse spirits cannot.
