[Curse back] Another you in the world

13

Perhaps Xia Youjie would refuse. After making this invitation, he was not very hopeful, but he nodded.

Haruto's shoulders relaxed visibly with the naked eye, and only then did he realize that he was so tense just now that he didn't even relax the muscles in his shoulders and back.Walking a few steps to his side, he asked, "Was it you just now? Otherwise, that monster should have come out."

Xia Youjie nodded and said nothing, the expression on his face still looked not very good.

"Why did senior Xia You come here suddenly? I thought you were quite homely, and you don't usually go out like that."

He still didn't answer, just followed him.But that store was still a little far away, so the two of them took a taxi to go there.Qingdou had drunk alcohol, and when he was in his hometown, he was not in a shop where he would interrogate children who looked like minors, but instead took the self-brewed wine from his friend's house, and a group of half-grown teenagers hid in the warehouse Or somewhere else to drink.

In addition to all kinds of drinks, this store also sells some simple food, and the dinner is very filling, so Qingdou only ordered a plate of cold conch slices, and then pushed the menu to Xia Youjie.He seemed to lack interest, he glanced at it and ordered one casually, Haruto glanced at it, cold tomato.

Okay, he had to order another sashimi platter and a tempura platter, and the rest was a bottle of sake, and the food and wine were quickly served. Haruto opened the bottle and gave the two glasses The bottle was full, and asked out of politeness: "How much can you drink?"

"I don't know, I haven't drank much."

Qingdou made a tactical retreat, unexpectedly he was a good boy who never tried to violate the restricted area?

Holding the wine glass, he clinked the glasses with Haruto, holding the glass up, watched as Haruto drank the wine with a skillful tilt of his head.Although the cup is not big, but this...is it like this?Do it directly?Xia Youjie also followed his example and drank it with his head raised.

The alcohol content of the sake is not high, but it is still easy to drink. After drinking a glass, Qingdou began to sandwich the tempura, and called Xia Youjie: "Hurry up, eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Hmm..." But he still didn't move, but took a quick bite of the cucumber in the cold conch slices, barely swallowed it and looked like he didn't really want to eat it, Haruto once thought he was going to vomit, but in the end He swallowed it anyway.

This doesn't look right, Qingdou put down his chopsticks: "Senior Xia You, are you feeling uncomfortable? Then we won't eat? Don't embarrass yourself."

"No, I just lost my appetite." He picked up the wine bottle and filled their glasses again: "I haven't had a good drink yet, I want to try a little today."

That's alright, Qingdou had a great time eating and drinking alone, and he was in a good mood at first. The fear and sadness of seeing a person die just now was temporarily suppressed in his heart, and he began to happily share him with Xia Youjie. life.It's not that he wants to share, but that this guy doesn't talk much, so he can only talk in stand-up comedy.

Xia Youjie didn't lose his mind, he would reply occasionally, or be laughed at by him, and would refill the wine glass when it was empty. His stand-up comedy talk was not very boring.Coupled with the strength of Jiu, he soon got to the top, and the more he talked, obviously not only him, Xia Youjie also started to talk a lot, and the two finally started to interact a little.

A little drunk, not completely drunk, Haruto shook the bottle with only one bottom left: "Are you still coming?"

"Come on, aren't we doing well?"

It's ok, monkey monkey every day, now it's time for the two of us.Qingdou immediately beckoned for another bottle, and steadily refilled Xia Youjie and himself. Seeing the boss's worried expression, he understood that they would get into trouble if they got drunk and renege on their debts.So he grabbed a handful from his pocket, glanced at the slip on the side, and handed the money to the boss: "Here, pay the bill first, and the two of us will try not to cause trouble for you."

Xia Youjie immediately held down his hand: "How can I let the junior treat me? I, the senior, should pay for it."

"Senior Xia You, next time, I invited you this time."

The boss obviously didn't want to get entangled with them, so he hurried away holding Qingdou's money, and handed him the change after a while: "Call me if you need anything."

Putting away the money, he glanced at his eyes to make the dizziness pass, and he pushed the conch salad over: "Are you still eating? You don't eat much all the time, are you too full at night?"

Xia Youjie's gaze shifted from the plate containing cold vegetables to Qingdou's face: "I didn't eat at night, I just lost my appetite recently."

"How long ago?" Qingdou added a chopstick dish by himself, thought about it carefully, and then said with certainty: "Before we went to Hitachi, you didn't eat much. I thought you saw me and my sister like this. monkeys can’t eat.”

"No, the food you cook is delicious, and I like it very much. So I ate quite a lot in those two meals."

Is that too much?Qingdou blinked, leaned forward a little, reached out and pinched his arm, still quite strong: "Eat so little and still have muscles? What's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a physical problem, but it's definitely thinner than before." Ah... thinner, the last time I discussed this topic with him was Gojo Satoru.Xia Youjie picked up the glass and drank it with his eyes closed.

Continuing for him, Qingdou sighed: "Although I don't know you very well, you are really embarrassing yourself, right? I really can't think of a person of your status, who would embarrass you like this. "

"My identity? Ba——what identity do I have?" He sneered, raised his glass again, but was held down by Qingtou's wrist: "Wait a minute, why are you progressing so fast?" Qingtou Clinked glasses with him before letting go.After drinking this cup, Qingdou said: "That's right, he should be a very powerful person in your industry? Otherwise, you can't just be the leader of an organization, right?"

"But it's not the best..."

"Here, this is why you made things difficult for yourself." Qingdou slapped the table, as if he had found the source of his unhappiness: "You are the most capable in this area, and seeing that others are richer than you, you became the richest man. Seeing that other people are stronger than you, you are so fit that people all over the world cheer for you, and you see others are taller than you, tell me, when will you be a leader? Do you have to look at other people's backs all your life? ?"

That's right, Xia Youjie always has to look at other people's backs.The back view of others leaving, the back view of others one step ahead of him, facing all kinds of parting, even some people never return, the back view becomes the last thing left to him.

It seems to be even more sad for people to say, Qingdou sniffed and poured the wine again: "Drink and drink, Xia You-senior, if you are too idealistic, you will ignore many things. Pursue perfection, and you will be overwhelmed by reality. It is not perfect and out of reality. People are flawed, the world is the same, and you are the same, you don’t want so much, don’t force yourself.”

"What if I have to force it?"

Haruto won't be able to fix this, how can I answer this?He looked into Xia Youjie's eyes and was speechless.Until Xia Youjie laughed: "So, no one can help me, I know."

After a few more drinks, the two of them became more and more excited. When Qingdou was still awake just now, the unhappiness and sadness that he could suppress a little bit gradually began to be uncontrollable. He began to talk about the night's affairs: "That person, I will help him." When I watched him come out, I still felt that he took a few steps by himself, without completely pressing on me, and the sound of breathing was so close that I could hear it. Then within a few minutes, he died."

"But doesn't he deserve it?" Xia Youjie took a sip of his wine, with no expression on his face: "Or, you all deserve it."

"Why?" Haruto was not happy.

Putting down his wine glass, Xia Youjie looked at him: "Do you know how the curse spirit appeared? It is formed by the accumulation of negative emotions of human beings. A magician, a person like me, the magic power will not leak out, and will not form a curse." Spirits, but you can see those guys. We are not the creators of the curse spirits, but we want to stand in front of you, face the garbage you have created, and protect you."

His resentment was about to overflow, and it was only then that Haruto realized why he hated ordinary people.

"It's okay for the monkeys to curse themselves, but they also want to curse us. Shouldn't such an existence deserve to die?"

"Do you want a world without monsters?"

"I think, I'm thinking about it in my dreams."

Qingdou pushed the plates away a little, moved closer, and said quietly: "I know that such a world exists, I just tell you, you believe me, okay?"

It seemed to coax a child, but Xia Youjie was still attracted, and even moved to the front to listen to his whispers.

"Sometimes, I will go to another world. That world is similar to this one, mainly because I am the same. But for me, there is a senior in the third grade who is very good at swimming. Because of that senior, he is now The grade is over, and I can only get No.3 in every competition. That senior is a very good person. Not long after the start of school, the club went to customize uniforms. It was the senior who dragged me there. Fortunately, he dragged me there , or you have to wear the same ugly orange thing with patterns like mine here."

Xia Youjie was fascinated by what he heard. He had a little guess, but he wasn't sure.

"That senior, during the summer vacation, in order to save me who was almost hit by a drunk driving car, I got a big bruise on my back. Although I am not well, my left arm was dislocated and my calf was also scratched. I went there yesterday and had dinner with my seniors. He wants to major in engineering. He said that if he does engineering, he may look at other places in the future. He also has some unrealistic fantasies, and sometimes he is too idealized by himself. Thoughts of humanization make him sleepless, but he is working hard to restrain himself and get rid of his bad habits, so he wants to see more of the world, get in touch with more people, and let himself live in reality well.”

Xia Youjie covered his eyes, he thought it was a nonsense made up by Qingdou, but Qingdou said: "Senior likes to eat cold noodles, but he doesn't like the egg skin inside, so he picked it out a few times when he went out. Hmmm... I don’t know if this one is the same, but anyway, senior has a scar on the inside of his left foot, which looks quite scary, he said he was scratched by a reef when he was at the seaside when he was a child.”

The same thing happened to him, but when he encountered the curse spirit when he was a child, he couldn't beat it, so he was injured.

It is possible that Haruto saw this position when he was swimming with him, but generally speaking, he would not pay attention to that place.

Are these real?So obviously the two of them should never see each other, Haruto still dragged him out for a drink.

"Senior, haven't you had dinner yet? Shall I make you some cold noodles? No egg skins are added, just to save me from frying eggs."

Xia Youjie let go of his hands covering his eyes, and nodded, "Okay."
