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

"...No, it's nothing."

It's really nothing, I just... want to be quiet.

So, if I had known this would happen earlier, I wouldn't have left him any precious space to be alone by killing him that night. I would have found him even if I turned the church upside down...

But unfortunately, nothing in the world has ever been known.

I had no choice but to go back to the room that I had already tidied up in frustration, leaving only a bed, a table and a chair.

After turning on the wall lamp, he lay on the bed for a while, glanced to the side, and only belatedly noticed the dinner plate used to hold the puffs, which the rabbi completely forgot to take away when he left last time.

... Well, it can be regarded as an important object that has witnessed the great leap of history. Now I can only rely on seeing things and thinking about people to relieve my turbulent longing.

"Are you there, Sisi?" But before I saw him for three seconds, Jerry knocked on the door, "I'm here to pick up the plate that the rabbi brought last time, he said he was here with you before he left the mission oh-"

I:"……"

So my thoughts were taken back by the original owner.

Back on the bed again, I lay on my back in a large font and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly took off the rabbi's headband around my neck and stuck it to my face.

It's strange, I also liked him two years ago, why didn't I scratch my heart so much when we separated, why this time, I always feel like missing him, thinking about him all the time, always... Missing him so much.

What about him?

Will he also have, miss me a little bit?

— Judging from the fact that I have been sneezing all the time, I think he must have thought about it.

...even if I am wrong, I will not accept refutation.

Because there are no new tasks for the time being, I rested at the headquarters for about a week—of course, I would go around the underground river three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, hoping that the boat carrying the rabbi would come out of the darkness. The end slowly appeared in the field of vision.

However, the rabbi didn't wait for anything, but Miranda and Mali.

It can be seen from a distance that their relationship is very close. I don't know if it is because they have completely relaxed after getting acquainted. Miranda's spirit seems to be better than before, and the iconic dark circles under the eyes have also faded a lot.

When the boat approached the shore, Miranda wanted to help Mali because she could not see her eyes, but she stumbled for some reason. Fortunately, Mali grabbed her arm and pulled it in front of her. Let her fall overboard like this.

However, from my point of view, their posture seems to be...as if they are embracing each other.

What should I do, I always feel... so envious.

In order not to let this envy ferment, I had to say goodbye to them in a hurry, but I heard someone called Crowley on the other side of the corridor.

I was stunned, and poked my head halfway over the wall, and saw a woman dressed as a nurse standing in front of Crowley, holding a bright rose in her hand.

"I... I actually... have always liked you!"

I:"!!!"

No, no, why did you choose to hurt me so much when I was alone?

Rabbi, Rabbi, Rabbi, Rabbi... Where the hell are you, come back soon...

·

"—At this speed, it will be put into practice soon, right?"

In this way, when I was too envious and wanted the rabbi more, I stumbled past the laboratory parked at Gate 1 of the Ark, and I happened to see Squad Leader Liba chatting with Jonny holding a stack of materials.

"What practice?" Because it was related to the ark, I urgently needed to divert my attention, so I leaned over, "What are you talking about?"

"Ah, it's Ceci."

So Squad Leader Liba briefly told me about the idea that the headquarters intends to use the ark drive.

"Generally speaking, if it succeeds, exorcists will no longer have to run around the world." Squad leader Liba roughly drew a picture for me, and marked the above key points, "As long as you can Determine the coordinates at a fixed place, and then decide the time to open the door in advance, so the exorcists can go to most places in the world through the door of the ark, which can save a lot of time on the road.”

"That is, what does it mean that you can reach the mission location by opening the door?" I asked, "Doesn't that mean that you don't have to go for a month or two to go out for a mission like now?"

This is good!

"Yes." Captain Liba nodded.

"Then, now...?" I glanced expectantly at the door hanging in mid-air beside me, and stammered.

So now, as long as I go out, I can reach Spain where the rabbi is?

"But it's not enough yet." As a result, Liba's next sentence extinguished my hopes, "It's conservatively estimated that we will have to wait another two or three months, and Alian has to make preparations. A lot of data It all needs to be improved.”

...So, it is still impossible to see the rabbi right away.

"By the way, Sisi! Wait a minute—" I walked out of the laboratory with my head bowed in disappointment, when I found Johnny chasing up from behind, "Well, I almost forgot—the rabbi asked me to bring you a message , let you wait for him to come back."

"He asked me... to wait for him?" I was taken aback, and pointed to myself.

Jonny nodded unsteadily because he ran too fast just now.

"Then did he say," I asked tentatively, "Why did you make me wait for him?"

"He didn't say that," Johnny pushed his thick bottle-bottomed glasses, "he only told me to tell you."

From this point of view, he should really not be avoiding me that day, but just going to the city on business...

After I breathed a sigh of relief, I just felt that I came back to life in an instant, and even the envy I ate just now was diluted a bit. After a pause, I clenched my fist with pride: "Don't worry, I will definitely wait for him to come back of!"

However, it turns out that it's not me who has the final say on whether to wait or not, but Komyi who has the final say.

On the second day after I swore to make a promise, I was dispatched by Komui to carry out the mission again.

"Huh? What's wrong with Sisi?" The person involved still had a confused look on his face, so, "Why is there a stunned expression on his face?"

No, it's nothing, just a sudden strong urge to bless Li Nali - how should I put it, please be happy and get married as soon as possible.

The location of this mission is not far away, it is Plymouth, England-a seaport city.

The news is that there are a large number of unknown deaths in the local area.

Long before my arrival, the explorers had identified several suspects.As soon as I arrived on the front foot, I immediately swayed in front of them in a big way, and then went to the port for a walk alone at night. Sure enough, when I got to the beach and turned around, the enemy took the initiative to send me to the door.

Here are three LV.3 and two LV.2.

I led them to the empty dock, and as soon as they were surrounded on all sides, a strong current suddenly lifted up from the sea and swallowed them with lightning speed, and the two LV.2s instantly turned into fireworks in mid-air , while LV.3 seemed to be corroded by something, it screamed for several seconds before it exploded.

However, is it my illusion?That LV.3 just now... Did you say "hot"?

hot?

Could it be that the body surface temperature of demons is different from that of normal creatures? I am using seawater, icy cold seawater...?

Wait, speaking of it, Allen was scalded by the Tim II I made before and got blistered—couldn’t it be the water problem, but my blood...

Is this a new skill developed?

But I always feel like I've overlooked some important clue...

On the way back, because I was so engrossed in thinking about this, I unknowingly deviated from the original road, and I didn't know where I turned.

Looking at the narrow alley in front of me, I hesitated and took a few steps forward.

The night is already very deep. In the vast night, the gray light scatters half-brightly from the street lamp in front of the alley, casting the shadows of the electric poles and the surrounding scenery on the ground. Saw a few moths circling the dim light.

There is also an oak tree.

I don't know what this place is, but it feels strangely familiar.

It is not the familiarity of the mansion in the dream, as if it has been there many times, but more like a more hazy one, it seems that it has only been here once or twice, but something so important that it does not want to be forgotten happened here General familiarity.

I moved my eyes to the left, and then looked at the wall beside me. The corners of the wall and the gaps between the floor tiles were covered with moss, which seemed to be much more mottled than I remembered. It was as expected rough and uneven to the touch, but it didn't feel painful.

... But the question is, why do I feel pain?

I withdrew my hand in a daze, and looked at my clean palm without even a wound, but at a certain moment, I seemed to see a bloody hand.

This is...whose hand?

Is it my mother's memory?

I walked a few steps forward, walked around the corner, and saw an old-fashioned building.I approached the eaves of the building subconsciously, stretched out my hand subconsciously, followed something with the palm facing up, and subconsciously turned my head to look.

It was as if there was someone standing in the corner where the eyes could see.

——A person wearing a double-breasted trench coat, who seems to be a teenager, has short curly hair, but can't see his face clearly.

——Who is it?

I walked straight over uncontrollably, only to find that there was no one there.

In the night that was so quiet that only the chirping of cicadas could be heard, a sudden wind blew by, making the leaves rustle.

There are trees and trees here, and I am alone here.

... That's why I said that blood relationship is really a mysterious thing. Can the memory passed down from the mother's body really reach this level?

I stood there for a while, took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and honestly found my way back to the hotel.

After completing the mission in Plymouth, I was notified again and traveled through several countries before finally making my way home.

But this time, he didn't go back to the old castle. Instead, he took a boat to the new headquarters on the way.

On the way, he ran into Allen and Miranda.

"Ah, Sisi? What a coincidence?" Allen easily jumped onto the deck on my side, "Did you also be brought here halfway?"

I nodded, and then I saw Link over there suddenly made a run-up with a blank face, and jumped over.

... This person really won't be let go for a while, and he must stick to Allen's side all the time.

I was just about to catch up with Allen, when I looked away, I saw that I was standing on the deck of another ship at the moment, looked at us in a daze, and looked at the distance between the two ships, and was at a loss looked carefully at our Miranda.

"Cersi." Allen called me, and I looked at him and nodded, and then the two of us went to Miranda's side at the same time.

Link: "..."

Before standing still, Link could only jump back: "You two guys!"

"By the way... is this the new regiment uniform?" I was used to his frayed hair, and I only pointed to the strange-looking black-and-red-edged uniforms on Allen and Miranda, and asked curiously.

"Yes, yes," Miranda was a little puzzled, "Has Ceci not gotten it yet?"

"I didn't get it," I shook my head, "I should have done it after I came out this time, so..."

"That should be it," Allen paused, and suddenly asked me helplessly, "Why Sisi, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, I wanted to ask just now. Could it be that the enemy you met this time is the kind of good-looking enemy? Why do you even bring someone to attack your face?"

"...What are you talking about?" Allen raised his hand and touched the wound on his face, "This wasn't done by the enemy, it was me...One night, for some reason, I suddenly got too absorbed in my thoughts, and Hit the wall - what kind of eyes are you! I'm really not stupid, I'm just thinking a little bit engrossed!"

Well, you say yes.

But isn't this a bit different from what Master said—hasn't this already affected reality?

I subconsciously turned to Link, but found that his eyes were only fixed on a certain point in front of him, and he looked a little absent-minded... as if he was thinking about something.

"Let's not talk about that, look," Allen took off the hood of the black windbreaker outside, and shook the open collar so that I could see the regiment uniform inside, "How is it? The design is great, right? It's really Joe Nice."

"A-Allen," Miranda on the side reminded him, "You are so careful about catching a cold..."

"No, don't worry," Allen smiled and comforted her, "The super warm set designed by Joni doesn't feel cold at all."

He wasn't cold, but Link, who was wearing a central uniform on the other side, sneezed suddenly.

And after sneezing, he still didn't come to talk to him, and he still stood aside with a worried look on his face.

Judging from past experience, this man's concern is either related to his chief Rubelier or to Allen.

Or, it may also be related to Master.

Could it be that something happened at the center...

"By the way," I was interrupted by Allen as soon as I had this idea, "I don't know what the new headquarters looks like."

I came back to my senses: "It means that the science class has moved there?"

"I..." Miranda also said, "I heard that it seems to be bigger than the previous headquarters."

"Is it bigger than before? What about the cafeteria? Has it also become bigger?"

"How do you know how to eat, Allen?"

"Don't Sisi want to know?"

"...Everything else is easy to say, please tell me if the cafeteria has become bigger."

Miranda was so amused by us that she laughed aloud, paused, and suddenly pointed her finger behind us: "Look, it seems...it seems to be here."

I turned my head, and sure enough, I saw the far shore approaching, and a building appeared in our field of vision.

Unlike the previous towering castle, this time...is a horizontal building?

"It's okay to be exposed like this?"

There is no mountain barrier, and from the perspective of geographical location, it seems that it is not concealed enough. Could it be that there are other life-saving devices?

"Don't worry," Allen explained to me, "Link said before that the new headquarters has already been set up with a strict barrier by the central "crow", and it will not be discovered by the enemy-Link, Is it called "Crow", Link?"

Link's gaze was still fixed on a certain point in front of him. Allen called him three times before he paused as if awakened, and nodded slightly.

It seems that I don't want to say more.

This person really has something on his mind... Maybe something happened to Master and Rubelier.

After passing through the dense forest and entering the hall, the sense of luxury that is different from the old and ancient castle is more obvious.

Gorgeous murals and decorations, new and soft carpets, and shiny floor tiles, as soon as you enter, you will be greeted with a sense of grandeur.

"Ah, Allen!" Jonny, who was instructing the staff to unload the boxes, turned his head to see us, and greeted us immediately, "Are you here?"

"I just finished the task," Allen nodded, "I just came here—by the way, the official move will start tomorrow, right? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"If you say that, it really does exist," Jonny pointed to the open space on the other side, "Allen, can I trouble you to open the door at this location?"

When Johnny said to open the door, he meant to open the door of the ark.

Allen responded, walked there, only closed his eyes, and a big number "6" appeared under his feet, and then a glass-like door appeared in midair.

In just a few months, he has become so handy in using the ark.

"Thank you so much!" Jonny paused, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Allen, "By the way, Allen, the cafeteria has been completed, and Jerry is here too."

"Eh, really? Mr. Jerry has come? Doesn't that mean..."

"Ah, it's just lunch time."

So our group started heading towards the cafeteria under the leadership of Jonny.

When Allen and the others entered the cafeteria, I suddenly took a step behind, turned to Link, and called him, "Hey."

Link stared blankly, looking at me suspiciously.

"Shall we go over there for a while?" I pointed to the back of the stone pillar in the corridor next to the cafeteria, "I have something to tell you."

"Can't we talk about it here?" Link glanced at Allen who had rushed to the dining window and was talking to Jerry, and asked back.

"No," I insisted, "it's...it's the rumors about your officer Rubelier. Do you want to listen to it or not?"

Link frowned slightly, and then followed me to that corner.

"Okay." After waiting, he went straight to the point, "Tell me what the rumors about the chief are."

"You wait for me to ask a question first," I paused, "Aren't you some unknown exorcist hidden by the central government?"

"Huh? No, what do you mean by that?"

"Then you're not a devil, are you?"

Link: "..."

Link: "Cecilia!"

"Then I'm relieved." I took a step forward and looked him in the eyes. "Forget about what I'm asking you from now on——Did something happen to my master in the center during this time?"

People are often the least defensive when they are emotionally excited. Link's expression froze as expected, and his eyes instantly became a little blank.

"Marshal Marian..." But he denied it, "Still in the state of... being imprisoned."

Wait, I guessed wrong?

I didn't believe it, so I asked Allen and Rubelier again, and he said nothing was wrong.

"It shouldn't be." Since Allen and Master are fine, I lost the desire to continue to ask the bottom line, so I just closed it symbolically, "Then why were you always absent-minded just now?"

"The commander ordered me to..."

But this time it seemed that the question was on point. Link paused, and a rare hint of doubt appeared in his originally inorganic voice.

"The chief changed the order, saying that once a life-threatening situation arises, don't... care about anyone present, and ensure Walker's life safety... is the top priority."

what?

I was taken aback.

How did this suddenly change sex?Wasn't it necessary to interrogate Allen for heresy before?

But before I could open my mouth to ask again, I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Cersi...?"

It was a voice with a slight pick-up, disbelief and uncertainty—a voice that I have been thinking about day and night for so many months.

I:"……"

However, at this moment, I froze in place on the spot, and there was only one thought left in my head, which was completely unable to react.

- It's over.

The author has something to say:

On that day, human beings (Ceciball) once again recalled the horror of being dominated by the overturned car.

Don't worry, there will be no bloody misunderstanding... Well, it seems that I can't say that.

Rabbi (misunderstood): "That guy with the mole, is he bullying Sisi? Is that guy... bullying me...I, me, me (blush)...my Sisi, right?"

Allen: "Are you blind??? And—what's the point of blushing at me!"

If you want to summarize the first half of this chapter, it is the person who has always fed others dog food, this time he ate other people's dog food :)

Ceci: ...I'll feed it back!I'll definitely—would feed it back!

The next chapter should be a big fat chapter, and we will really be together in the next chapter——

PS The two chapters between a bite and a confession were set up from the beginning. One is to let the two people's feelings ferment separately, and the expectations are full (generalized by cute); the other is because of this Some foreshadowing and foreshadowing of the first chapter, because the truth line is about to unfold.

So I decided to write it like this from the beginning. After thinking about it, I still don’t want to disrupt my rhythm. Thank you for understanding QAQ
