K-type Mage

"What else do you want from me?"

*

"Missing?" Yuan Shen, who was holding the book, blinked in surprise, "Mr. Wujo?"

Xia Youjie, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, clasped his hands cautiously. This was the first time he came to Mr. Yuan's residence, and he had no other choice.After changing his clothes, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have been missing for two days."

"It's Nitro-I only found out when my high school friend contacted me." He explained, "It is said that they set off because of an evil incident with traces of super-level magic spirits, but lost contact with the assistant supervisor about half an hour later. Contact. The other super conjurers don't have time, and the first and second graders are also busy running around, so Nitro contacted me privately."

"It's about this forest." The Curse Master took out a photo from his pocket, "I want to entrust Mr. Yuan to go with me."

The photo shows a forest. It can be seen that it was taken immediately after confirming the clarity of the picture in a hurry, and did not pay attention to some shooting lighting and angle skills.But for some reason, it seems to be taken under a strange filter. The color is normal, but the tone is distorted and cold. The light is like a hideous sight, which makes people extremely disgusted at first glance.

Yuanshen picked up the photo, pondered for a moment, flicked it lightly, agreed, and said: "Yes. I will read the information later. I will prepare first. When is the departure time? I can open the passage."

Tell Guizhi.

"Don't worry too much, I believe that nothing will happen to Wu." Xia Youjie said, smiling calmly, as if he was not the one who received the call from Nitrate, read the information, and then asked for help.There is still a large bag of supplies on the car outside the bookstore.

"I'm quite curious about what's wrong with that forest." Yuan Shen said this, and got up to talk to Natsume Takashi.

In order not to cause the child to worry about the situation where the entire projection was thrown into a different space and disappeared for half a month for no reason, Yuan Shen decided to leave a phantom here first. If he fails to come back on time, that phantom Will take care of children.

Natsume Takashi, who was studying, didn't worry too much, maybe because he trusted the guardian, he only thought that he was going to hang out with his big brother.

"Mr. Yuan, be careful on the road."

"I will~"

Yuan Shen went downstairs: "Let's go, Mr. Xia You."

*

It was a very ordinary forest, so unknown that it could not be found on the map, but in the local town at the foot of the mountain, there was a saying "The scenery on the mountain is not bad, and there are no dangerous beasts, but the weeds and bushes are too thick." If there are too many, don’t go up.”

Xia Youjie collected information earlier, and the tall young man with white hair and blue eyes was very conspicuous in the town, and when asked where the other party was going, he always gave the answer "I went to the mountain".

And the task information given by the "window" in the magic circle is that they have observed the breath of super-level curse embryos. Fortunately, no one has died yet.

Therefore, such a task is completely easy for Gojo Satoru, a super magician with "six eyes".

The result was that the other party disappeared.I heard that the assistant supervisor who discovered this was almost crying.

"It's really busy." Yuan Shen commented, "Maybe it's a good rest."

"It's also possible that it's because you're having too much fun." Xia Youjie spoke up, rubbing his forehead. He had just finished a phone call with Jia Ruzizi, and got the threat of "I don't want to collect the corpses of your two problem children with Mr. Ye Moth". Zheng Zheng smiled helplessly, "Although it looks a little abnormal from the outside, it doesn't have the breath of a special-grade curse spirit. Has it hatched?"

They are walking on the mountain climbing path now, should they be thankful that it is winter? Although it has become hidden due to few people coming, the withered vegetation makes it easier to find the way.

"The energy should be sufficient." Yuan Shen took the long wooden stick he picked up from under the tree and poked in front of it, "If your ability is to swallow, the taste is not very good, right?"

"That's full of complaints, Minamoto-san. The smell is touching, like a vomit-smelling rag."

"Wow——Mr. Xiayou, you are really good." Yuan Shen paused, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Like a big kid who can eat green peppers when he was young."

"...This kind of metaphor, although very cute, is a bit inappropriate."

The traces of the trail extended here and gradually disappeared.The two stopped.

Below is a depression, and in the center of the depression is a lake and a hotel, which are a little far away and look a little small.

They continued to take steps, and walked down with a clear goal.

Xia Youjie took a step behind and turned his head to look at the direction they came from.

The trees, which were originally sparse and scattered, seemed to move without knowing it, blocking that direction: the narrow path disappeared.The winter sun was already cold, but as they walked downhill, it seemed like a mirage refracted from a distant place.

He retracted his gaze and followed Yuan Shen in front of him.

……

"How long has it been outside?"

The white-haired man lying on the sofa muttered, "Ah... I remember that the store I go to the most will add new products in the next few days?"

This is the inside of the hotel.In addition to him, a guy with a relaxed posture, there are several other people scattered.None of them were familiar: it was evident from the position and the expression.

The white-haired man's eyes were covered with bandages. At first, some people thought he was blind, but he quickly denied this from his free movement, and very honestly regarded him as a second-year-old with a penchant for strange things. .

——This is Wujo Satoru.

The other people in the hotel didn't hear his muttering, but looked anxiously at the pouring rain outside the hotel window.

They were members of a tour group. Because of the sudden heavy rain and the broken down vehicle, they had to rush into the hotel by the lake, and they couldn't ask for help outside because of the poor signal.Gojo Satoru, who didn't come in with the tour group, was obviously excluded.

"Standard Blizzard Villa mode. Gojo Satoru, who saw some information, came to such a conclusion, "Although it seems interesting... but where is the curse spirit?" He got up from the sofa, and his movements suddenly startled those who paid attention to him, intentionally or unintentionally, jumping, "Boss!"I'm hungry, do you provide dinner? He shouted loudly to the middle-aged man behind the counter, "It would be even better if there was Xi Jiufu!" "

"No, this kind of thing." The boss replied coldly, "Someone is preparing it in the kitchen."

"That would be wonderful—"

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door of the hotel from outside.

The boss raised his head in surprise.

The others also stopped talking in surprise and looked over.

Gojo Satoru took a quick glance at the torrential rain outside the window, and happily went up to open the door.

"Hey, you—!" The voice that wanted to stop him only had time to shout.

The door was opened.The wind rushed in with raindrops, and the damp coldness washed away the warmth in the room, making them all shiver.

There are two people outside the door.two young people.

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide, and raised his voice happily: "Ah, my friend, you are here too!"

"Your words don't sound like good words." Xia Youjie, who was holding an umbrella with one hand, still had water marks on his cheeks, because the rain came suddenly, and he still "enjoyed" the umbrella stuffed by Mr. Yuan A taste of nature, "Rang Rang, I'm going in."

Gojo Satoru helped carry the luggage bag: "I brought so many things? Are you traveling?"

"That's not true." Xia Youjie rolled his eyes, and made a quick two, "Stop talking, we've been walking for a long time."

Yuan Shen shook his umbrella under the eaves: "This hotel has a long history."

After they went in, they stuffed the umbrella into the umbrella bucket, and the next two people went to the counter to register honestly.

Yuan Shen wrote first.Almost without hesitation, he wrote down a name on the registration form, and when he put down the pen, he glanced at Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie: ...?

Picking up the pen, he saw the name written by Gojo Satoru: [Xia Youjie].

Gojo Satoru, who came over to watch them write their names, faced his friend's stare with an innocent expression.

The former sighed, picked up a pen and wrote [Wujo Wu].

Yuanshen who wrote down his real name: Feelings are so good.jpg

The boss handed over two keys with the house number on them. He drooped his eyelids: "Be careful to keep the room tidy, otherwise it will be difficult to clean. If you damage something, you will be charged."

"Of course I will! I love public property very much!" Yuanshen, who picked up the key, swore, "But this hotel is so old, so it won't leak, right? I don't care about window cracks or ceilings."

"...No. Although the outside of this store is dilapidated, it is also well maintained."

"Thank you then!" The black-haired young man smiled heartily, "Want to help? My cooking skills are pretty good."

"Additional money is required, guest."

"No problem, I don't need money at all." Yuan Shen boldly took out a few shiny stones from his pocket—actually a storage room, "Is this okay?"

Looked like gems.Looking at this scene, Xia Youjie and Wujou Wu were a little speechless for a while because of the extravagant atmosphere of "throwing a lot of money without checks and money": especially the boss behind the counter who had been acting so indifferent showed a demented expression and was very scared Take the "gem" away as if it were taken back or snatched away.

"Of course! Customer!" The voice and expression became extremely flattering, the boss seemed to only see the black-haired young man in front of the counter, and he even stood up to lead the way, "I'll take you to the kitchen, the storage room is next door , you can choose the meals you want to cook."

Yuan Shen followed him, turned his face towards the two young men before turning the corner, and shook his finger.

"... Can Mr. Yuan's craftsmanship be trusted?" Xia Youjie asked.

"Tsu Miki seems to have the idea of ​​learning from him. ... The cakes and biscuits are delicious." Gojo Satoru said.

"Really, really looking forward to it."

Ignoring those different gazes, they walked to the sofa in the corner and sat together.

"How did you behave when you saw it?" Gojo Satoru asked in a low voice.

"It's very normal, there's nothing wrong with it." Xia Youjie also replied in a low voice, "In a sense, it's admirable."

"...Okay. You are right." His close friend said, "It may be Mr. Yuan's "gaffe" that can make people see negative emotions. "

Xia Youjie swallowed unconsciously: "What is the possibility that this matter has something to do with his friend?"

"...about half." Gojo Satoru was a little uncertain, "That guy named [Yuen] is really super arrogant."

"You said it before."
