[Exorcist Boy] The whole world thinks I'm a cannon fodder

This hit was really too strong, and I just woke up, my feet were already as soft as walking on cotton, so I was hit like this, and out of inertia, I just leaned back.

The person who came was a head taller than me, and was taken aback when he saw this, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull me back.

The strange yet familiar masculine aura that is completely different from the child's is tucked around my head. I stood still at his strength in a daze. Here comes...beautiful collarbones.

Looking further up, you can see the Adam's apple that has become prominent with age, and the baby fat has completely faded, and the angular facial contours are already showing in the green, and the red hair that is not tied up by the headband hangs down to the side of the neck. The emerald-colored eyes blinked, and they looked down at me who was still a little confused.

"Rabbi?" Allen's surprised voice came from behind, "You changed back?"

Only then did I belatedly realize that he had grown bigger, and then... my nose felt hot.

I covered my nose.

Although I am a normal woman anyway, in the face of this situation, even if I get a nosebleed... no, if I don’t have a nosebleed to express my apology for the collarbone he deliberately exposed—but believe me, it’s really not this time because this!

Hiss—it hurts like hell, what on earth is his chest made of?

If I hadn't kept my eyes open the whole time, I'd have wondered if I'd just knocked my nose against a rock.

"Well, thanks to the old man Panda, it's finally back to normal!" Hearing this, the rabbi immediately turned his attention to Allen.

But he seemed to have forgotten to let go, and while speaking, he still held my shoulder firmly, his palm was warm and dry, and he could feel the heat that cannot be ignored through layers of clothes.

The original immature voice has completely restored the unique texture of the boy, the voice is refreshing and clean, the tail is slightly raised, with a kind of itching that I can't describe, and the scorching breath that he didn't even notice. He blew straight into my ear.I wanted to hide reflexively, but he held me down and couldn't move. But after he finished answering Allen, he lowered his head to ask me.

"By the way, Sisi, how do you feel now? Do you feel something—huh? Why are you covering your nose?"

Because if you don't cover it, the nosebleed will come out!

... Well, even if you hold it, it has tenaciously blew away.

"...Is it crooked?" After a lot of fuss, I had two balls of paper stuffed in my nose, and I had no image to speak of, "No, it must have been broken..."

"Just, just hit it." The rabbi was also a little skeptical of life, and when I wanted to be a few feet away from him, I insisted on leaning over to check carefully, "It shouldn't be... so serious, right? Lian, what do you think?"

I immediately turned my head to look at Allen.

Because I turned my head so suddenly, before Allen had time to put away his stunned expression, he opened his mouth for a long time before remembering to agree: "Ah... Although it's not easy to say whether it's crooked or not. , but broken, it should not be broken."

...with all due respect, are you really comforting and not adding fuel to the fire?

"Why are you scaring her," the rabbi said dissatisfiedly, and then turned to me, "Don't listen to what Allenhu said, it's true, it's fine, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Really?" I carefully pressed the bridge of my nose with my fingertips.

"Really, really." Probably to divert my attention, the rabbi suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture on top of my head, "However, from this angle, Sisi, you are really small."

I froze and looked up at him in disbelief: "...Are you saying that I'm short?"

"Huh? No! It's just that the angle was changed suddenly," the rabbi hesitated, "I still feel a little... not used to it?"

"Oh, I understand when you say that," I thought deeply, "You're just used to looking up at my stalwart figure, right?"

In fact, calm down and think about it, I am not very used to it.

Although from the perspective of the relationship between men and women, I do prefer the adult rabbi in front of me.

But how should I put it, after all, I have been taking care of the child for several months, and it's a bit...

"What a stalwart, you're saying strange things again... and Sisi, what kind of eyes do you have?"

Um?What look?

I pulled out of my thoughts and looked at him inexplicably.

"It's just a feeling, Sisi saw me change back..." Rabbi himself was not very sure, "Looks disappointed?"

I paused slightly, blinked, and blinked again.

"...No, are you really disappointed?"

I didn't care about him, I quickly lowered my head and rubbed my face, brewed up my feelings again, and then raised my head: "What about this time?"

Rabbi: "..."

The rabbi patted me on the shoulder very solemnly: "To be honest, compared to this kind of 'I'm so happy that my son has finally grown up', you'd better get disappointed, Sisi."

·

Taking advantage of the time when the host was preparing dinner for us, Allen finally found an opportunity to pull me, who still had two paper balls stuffed in my nose, to the corner near the door.

It wasn't easy for him either. When he was in the cave, he seemed to have a lot of things to ask, but because of one or another reason, he held back all the way until now.But no matter how anxious he was, out of politeness, Allen still cared about me routinely before asking.

"Cersi, how are you doing this time?"

——To be honest, this is really similar to Master.

But I can't say it, otherwise he must think I'm scolding him.

So I cleared my throat and pretended to throw the question back: "It depends on what you are asking. Is it the material level of basic necessities? Or the spiritual level of emotion?"

Allen smiled very kindly: "... If you keep showing off, I won't listen to you showing off, okay?"

"Don't ask, you can ask whatever you want," I hastily raised two fingers, "As a guarantee of Master's personality, I promise to tell you everything I know, and I can say everything I want."

"You're here again... What's the situation between you and the rabbi? It feels like he's a different person now, and he doesn't rely on you in the usual way."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? He is a human cub with small arms and legs. If it weren't for me, he would have been eliminated by the social environment long ago."

"...the word 'human cub' was used."

"And let me tell you," I continued chatting with Allen, "on the train before, he took the initiative to call me 'Mom'."

"What did the rabbi go through during this time...and this is not something to show off!"

I was dissatisfied: "Why is it not worth showing off?"

"Aren't you afraid of developing a mother-child relationship?"

I blinked, and when I realized what he was talking about, I immediately looked horrified: "What are you thinking, we don't even have the same hair color!"

"Who is to blame! Isn't it you who always make such jokes! And is it a matter of hair color!"

Allen was angry and funny, paused, and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, no matter what the process is, at least your current relationship is indeed much better than before, and it can almost be called a leap forward-although it has only risen from the height of "stranger you know" to "friends you know better" .”

"...Don't you think your last sentence is superfluous?"

"I don't think so, because it's the truth," Allen said, and suddenly paused, "Ah, the rabbi has come out."

I turned my head quickly, and saw the rabbi coming out of the back room in his regimental uniform. He was about to come to our side, but when he passed by the stairs, he was called to the window by the bookman.

The unique holy white light of the ice and snow world spilled in through the diamond-shaped window, and melted warmly on the rabbi who was smiling and talking to the bookman with his sleeves folded. From my angle, it seemed that he was shining Same.

As for the bookman next to him, it has already blurred into a background board, and maybe after a while, it will completely disappear from my field of vision... Huh?

Wait, when did Li Nali pass by?

"Speaking of which, Li Nali has always been worried about you," Allen followed my gaze, "Although the culprit must be Mr. Comui, she always feels that she is too careless to let you and the rabbi suffered from this unwarranted disaster."

"How can this be called an innocent disaster?" I saw Li Nali and the rabbi say something, and then the rabbi put his arms on his pillow and smiled at her, "From the results, she is simply the kind of person who specializes in helping people." Wishes that come true come true.”

It's this wish come true, she's back now, and she's back with thousands of lemon trees!

"What's the matter, Sisi? Why do you feel lost after a while?"

Can you have spirit?The lemon tree is all around me happily.

Even Shuweng, who was the background board but better than nothing, walked away, leaving only the two of them.

I watched the rabbi concentrating on talking to Li Nali, and for some reason, I suddenly remembered the time when I met them in Turkey—I was standing at the door of the hotel like this, watching them being intimate like family members. I have been watching for so long, and the rabbi, who is always sensitive to the eyes of others, has never looked in my direction.

Not a single glance.

For a moment, I felt a subtle sense of dislocation in time and space.

It was as if the hundreds of days and nights spent together day and night were all wiped away by an invisible big hand at this moment.

It's as if nothing happened between us, the distance is still so far away, and I have never approached him.

Everything...is back to square one.

·

... Well, there are still many sequelae left.

For example, at dinner, when the steaming hot food just came to the table, I stood up reflexively, took an empty plate, set aside a bit of each dish, and handed it to the rabbi. .

The rabbi also took it very naturally, took the chopsticks, picked them up and tasted them, and then acted coquettishly a little bit of one of them: "Cersi, this one, pinch this one more."

Then we found that the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone present stopped what they were doing and stared at us in horror.

The rabbi and I looked at each other, and looked back at them in confusion: "What's wrong? Why don't you eat?"

"... I'm ashamed to ask what's wrong, you idiot brat!" The bookman couldn't take it anymore, jumped up and kicked him against the wall.

"Why are you kicking people all of a sudden! You old panda man!"

"I don't have long hands! I'm so grown-up and I asked Miss Sisi to help me pick up the vegetables!"

"...Ah," the rabbi slid down from the wall covering his face, and sat on the ground for a few seconds before realizing it belatedly, "I——I forgot that I had already recovered."

Actually I forgot too.

"That," Allen finally smoothed things over, "Let's have dinner first."

So the food on the table was divided into three camps in this way—a big pile for Allen, a big pile for me, and a small pile for the three of them.

"Speaking of which, Rabbi," Allen chewed a food called tsampa, "is it my illusion? Is there something missing from your regiment uniform?"

"No, it's not an illusion, Allen!" The rabbi was waiting for this moment, and when he heard this, he immediately pointed miserably at his long-lost uniform, "You don't know, I can keep this zipper It's already very, very - very difficult!"

"Huh? Why are the decorations on the uniforms gone?" Li Nali also noticed the difference.

The rabbi sighed exaggeratedly and turned to me accusingly.

I immediately buried my head in the food mountain calmly.

Only the scholar took a sip of tea calmly, without raising his eyelids: "Have they all been sold?"

Allen: "But, didn't you say that you are hiding your identity as an exorcist all the way? Selling these will expose you?"

"Well, you're right," the rabbi paused subtly, "but do you think Sisi won't take this into consideration?"

"—She asked the exploration team to melt all of them into silver pieces right from the beginning!"

The author has something to say:

Tang (hook): "See if you can pick me out—"

Love you guys--
