Sumire Tohsaka

Even the wind in winter became quiet at this moment.

The girl put the teacup in her hand on the wooden tray, and the very slight sound of the interlocking broke the death-like silence at the moment.

"The teacher came to see me today, probably to ask these questions." She put her hands together on her knees, and when she lowered her head, her neck was like a stalk of a white lily, "What do you want to know?"

"No, no, no, I came to see you today to hand over something for classmate Huang Lu." Gojo Wu patted the paper bag beside him, and raised his tone briskly, "However, I do have something I want to ask you—the truth On the Internet, when I found out that the curse was 'Extra Grade', I felt very strange. The curse is indeed everywhere, but it is not easy to form that kind of scale and toxicity."

The corners of his mouth turned up even more, and he raised three fingers in a playful manner.

"For the curse to reach that scale, at least three conditions are required—first, a special bloodline."

For example, like Otoko Yuta, who is a descendant of "Sugawara Michizane" among the three major curses in Japan, he himself has an extraordinary talent in curses.

"Second, a special ceremony."

For example, the "inugami" who gathers bugs in jars and kills each other to get "gu poison", buries a dog in the soil with only its head exposed, and chops off the dog's head with an ax when it is too hungry, will Hair erected, candles on the head, face blackened, visiting the shrine every night, nailing the cursed scarecrow to the sacred tree with nails.

"Third, the cursed instrument is already attached."

For example, a knife that killed people, a house where someone died abnormally, a doll made of human hair...the magic tools often used by conjurers.

After the three conditions were finished, all three fingers were folded down, Gojo Satoru spread his hands and shrugged slightly.

"But these three things, I didn't see any of them in the curse of Liyuan. Huang Lu didn't have that kind of blood, didn't perform rituals, and didn't use curse tools... It seems that she just wanted to curse them, and the curse was formed. "The man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although her resentment is indeed strong, if only resentment can become like that, 'super class' should have been everywhere in the street long ago."

"Indeed." The girl nodded slightly.

"Then I remembered something." The pupils under the sunglasses turned to her, ice-like blue, "After the curse appeared, you took sick leave...seems to be extraordinarily much."

That's why Gojo Satoru listed Sumire Tohsaka as the first suspect in the first place.

Although the fact that she has neither magic power nor magic power denied his initial guess... But, what if we think about it from another angle?

There is a price to be paid for cursing others, and the curse Huanglu Mei Shaye incurred far exceeded the price she paid.

"You paid the price for Huanglu Meishaye, right?"

The girl was still smiling, her quiet posture was like a glazed flower under the moonlight, although it was fragile, it was also breathtakingly beautiful.

"No." She said softly, "Manipulation is Meisha's talent. I just... hope her wish can come true."

"Words..." He narrowed his eyes and quickly denied the conjecture, "No, it's a wish. You fulfilled her wish."

—I want them all to die.

--I think so.

Tohsaka Sumire looked at the snow in the garden, recalling that snowy day, when Misaya Kiroji held her hand and made a wish to her.

"That's my wish too."

She lowered her eyes, and her raven-wing eyelashes cast a faint shadow.

The moment she wants that wish to come true, reality begins to change to her will.

And so the moment she made the promise—the curse, took shape.

"Are those wounds the price for your wish to come true?" Wujou's eyes fell on the bandages wrapped around her hands, "It's also when you stop Huanglu Meishaye... that's not the spirit of words, I guess you don't have to fulfill your wish. You need to actually say it out. In her state at the time, no matter what, she should not be able to hear people's words, but your voice can reach her ears... it must be because you have made a wish before hugging her."

Gojo Satoru's eyes could see clearly that she was already bleeding before embracing the curse that was about to be completely transformed.

Large and small wounds bloomed on the girl's body, like flowers blooming suddenly.

The wish was made before Sumire Tohsaka hugged Huangji Misaya, and the words she said afterwards were not for making a wish, but for calling back the friend who was about to be lost.

Words are no different from curses.

Even Gojo Satoru couldn't tell for a moment whether it was Sumire Tohsaka's power or her words that made Huanglu Misaya break free from the shackles of the curse.

"Maybe you are very good at cursing others." Gojo Satoru laughed, crossed his hands, and looked at her with his chin in amused manner, "How about it, do you consider joining the Conjuration College? No spell power You can use spell tools, and you can be a conjurer even if you can't see the curse."

"Please allow me to refuse." The girl said softly, "I don't want that."

"Okay." Gojo Satoru also easily put aside that thought, "Let's go back to the original question--as I said, I felt very strange at the beginning, why Liyuan Women's College would find me like this Male conjurer to solve the problem."

Sumire Tohsaka raised her eyes: "Because at that time, I hope someone will stop Misaya."

Therefore, fate brought her someone who would surely fulfill her wish.

Gojo Satoru pretended to be surprised and nodded: "I see."

"I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble to Mr. Wujo."

The girl bent down and solemnly apologized to him.

"You also showed me something very interesting, so it's even." The man propped his chin on one hand and laughed, "It's rare to see those old things being played around by a little girl. It’s really worth the price of admission.”

"..."

"Your ability is really interesting. If I hadn't checked the mission records on a whim, I wouldn't have found it." Gojo Satoru smiled brighter, "Obviously there is such a big abnormality, but no one has noticed it except me...it's normal. Said, those old men should have gathered here long ago like flies smelling rotten, no matter what method they use, they will take you as their own, right?"

He really finds it very interesting now.

"As a result, none of them realized the irrationality in this matter, and no one was interested in this case. They only regarded it as an ordinary task and ignored it for granted. It was like putting a golden mountain on the In front of the eyes of misers, but let them collectively turn a blind eye."

"Is that what you want too?" he asked.

Tohsaka Sumire didn't answer directly, but said: "If there is too much trouble, my sister will be angry."

Wujo Wujo is beyond support.

Probably because this answer pleased him greatly, he casually threw the paper bag beside him to Tohsaka Sumire, the girl subconsciously caught it, and slid out a book from it, it was a Czech picture book, the book cover looked very interesting. Over the years, the paper quality has also turned into an old color.It should be a picture book of fairy tales for children, but the tone of the book is extremely dark. Two children are standing side by side, one with strangely wide eyes and the other with a big mouth to laugh. creepy.

Sumire Tohsaka pushed the book back into the paper bag silently, looking at Gojo Satoru with cold green eyes.

"Classmate Huang Lu asked me to bring it to you, and she also asked me to bring you a sentence."

Gojo Satoru recalled Huang Lu Meisha's stubborn eyes on the hospital bed, and smiled silently.

"She said, 'Don't think about it, fool'." He imitated Huanglu Meisha's tone at that time, "'No matter how many times I do it again, I will still curse those guys'—and then threw the book to me, Let me bring it to you."

"……yes?"

Sumire Tohsaka gently hugged the book into her arms, with a slight smile on her face. At that moment, she no longer looked like a French doll, but an ordinary...for a friend A willful and sad female high school student.

"It's really the style of Mei Sha Ye."

"What will happen to Mei Shaye from now on?" She asked softly.

"Induced a special curse, killed 14 people with the curse, seriously injured 35 people, and caused a large-scale spiritual barrier... No matter how you think about it, it will not end well. Although it is difficult to convict people by cursing and killing people legally, but other aspects The punishment has long been prepared for her."

Gojo Satoru counts Huanglu Meishaye's crimes in detail.

"You don't need to think about going back to Liyuan. The adopted daughter of Huang Lu's family was originally adopted because of her excellent quality, but she caused such a big trouble... She was expelled and dropped out of school when she was still in the operating room for rescue. It's over."

Sumire Tohsaka's shoulders trembled slightly.

"In this way, all the plans of student Huang Lu in the past are all in vain, and the future that was within reach has no hope... I remember that she is one of the best students in Liyuan. I seem to have seen it on the list of international students. She's coming..."

The man's voice suddenly sank, finally showing the calmness and indifference of an adult man.

"However, the so-called curse is that kind of thing. When you curse others, you will lose everything yourself."

Friends, the future, everything you have... When you curse others, you will lose it from your hands.

Sumire Tohsaka clasped the book tightly without saying anything.

"Really, when I think that this kind of problem girl will soon become my student, my head starts to hurt - I lied to you."

"...?"

The girl raised her face suspiciously.

"Ah, didn't I say that?" Gojo Satoru scratched his cheek, "Huanglu Meisha should have been sentenced to death for inducing a special curse, but I found out that she has the ability to manipulate curse spirits, so I persuaded—huh? Then Can it be called persuasion? Forget it—in short, I persuaded the old men above to let her join the high school of conjuration, and when she recovers from the hospital, she can become a conjurer!"

As for how he "persuaded" those old men, and how he "convinced" the Huang Lu family, the rulers of the Li Garden... don't go into details like this.

Anyway, he is Gojo Satoru.

"Teacher Wutiao..."

The girl's voice seemed to be enduring something.

"Huh? What's the matter, Tohsaka-san?"

"Next time... this kind of thing, please tell me from the beginning, okay?"

"Ahahahaha, sorry sorry, I completely forgot!"

"..."

Anyone could tell from the girl's slightly trembling shoulders that she was enduring some kind of violent impulse.Gojo Satoru smiled nonchalantly, grabbed the last wagashi and threw it into his mouth.

"Okay, I have delivered the things, and I have finished talking. There are still tasks to do, so I will leave first."

Gojo Satoru drank the tea in the cup, clapped his hands and stood up, made a Bye-bye gesture, and then walked calmly to the tea room.

However, before he left, the girl who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke again.

"From now on... I'm asking you to take care of Mei Shaye."

At that moment, Gojo Satoru once again felt... the ripples of the twisted world.

--I see.

He thought amusedly.

——Is it the ability to directly act on the cause and effect of the world?

"You don't need to tell me." He waved his hand casually without turning his head, "I'm your teacher."

Then, he left the girl in the tea room, and walked out of the gate alone.

The bitter winter wind was coming towards him, he took a deep breath of the cold air, and opened his mouth with emotion.

"What a nice day."

After saying this boring exclamation, Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses and put on the white bandage again.

"But... "The Man with the Big Eyes and the Man with the Big Mouth"?" He recalled the content of the picture book, "Girls' hobbies are really dark nowadays."

In the tea room, Sumire Tohsaka was sitting alone, a picture book with a gloomy style was spread out beside her, but she just quietly raised her head and looked at the blue sky outside the tea room.

The pages of the book are blown by the winter wind, and the pages of the picture book are turned with the sound of hula-la.The story is staged silently like a silent film.

【"Deal, let's make a deal."

The devil said so.

"I don't, absolutely not."

People with big eyes say so.

"Okay, let's trade!"

People with big mouths say so.

The courtyard of Big Mouth quickly turns into a beautiful garden.

People with big eyes are very poor, very poor, and they are very hungry.

People with big mouths are happy every day.

Every day I ate the fruit of the garden and was well fed,

So he didn't realize that the flowers had already started to wither.

The man with the big mouth opens his big mouth to cry in his garden that will never bloom again,

Whisper, wish I had known better not to deal with the devil.

The man with the big eyes was so hungry, he was starving to death.

The tears of the man with the big eyes fell drop by drop,

Whisper it, I wish I had known about dealing with the devil.

"Deal, let's make a deal."

The devil said so. 】

pat.

The book cover is closed.

Sumire Tohsaka seemed attracted by the sound, turned her head slightly, and gently stroked the old book cover with her slender fingers.

A long time ago, she had read this book with Kaori and Misa Ye.

The extroverted Mei Shaye just said after reading it, what kind of messed up story is this, it's boring without beginning and end.

"Besides, what's wrong with trading with the devil, at least you got a garden full of flowers! It's better than getting nothing in the end!"

And the introverted Jiazhi quietly held her by the corner of her clothes, and clung to her to sleep together that night.

As a friend for many years, Tachibana Kaori has vaguely guessed her ability.This is not surprising. Although Jiazhi is not good at words, she is very careful, always observes carefully, and is very considerate of others.

That night, Jiazhi hooked her finger and made a promise with her.

"I will never make a wish to Xiao Jin." In the darkness, the girl's eyes were bright, "If there is a first time, there will be a second, third time... One day, I will make a wish." Xia Xiaoxiong's wish that can't be fulfilled."

The hooked little finger shook, and Kaori's voice was immature, gentle, but firm.

"So, it's an appointment."

——I will never make a wish to you.

Now, the warm touch seems to still be left on the little finger.Sumire Tohsaka gently opened her right hand, covering the big-eyed child on the cover of the picture book.

"If you make a wish to me..."

What kind of mood does the demon in the story have?

No one knows except the demon himself.
