[Fate] Cry when you curse!

Magicians' duels are often fast and gorgeous, like chivalry, betting on the battle of one's own reputation-until the end, it will never stop.

After the magic bombardment, there was a long silence. In the end, the man named Rei threw the opponent's head aside casually, destroyed the sealed door of the secret room, and walked in calmly.

As a leading magician, Li did not follow the blind pursuit of the "root" in his workshop like an orthodox magician until he died. Instead, he chose a life path like an explorer, traveling to other countries , adventuring everywhere.

However, the reason for the adventure is not that he wants to gain knowledge or achieve great things, to be precise - he doesn't know what he is pursuing, and he is neither drunk on fame nor satisfied with the status quo. All the things I pursue are not cold.Makes people extremely tangled.

He thought that he probably wanted to meet someone who would change his boring life.

When meeting that child, Li's thoughts were actually despicable.The girl has a jewel-like body, and a powerful heterogeneous magic power flows in her body, and the total amount is astonishing. Her golden tears full of magic power can even be directly used to cast A-level gem magic.

Such a "treasure" has been scrambled for several years, and was captured by a magician designated by the seal but escaped two years ago-it has to be said that Li was able to meet her because of a coincidence.

Li put away his wand and looked at the expressionless little girl. Because of hiding, it seemed that the magician didn't treat her well. Her eyesight had all disappeared, and she refused to even treat her with healing magic. give alms.In other words, her eyes only need to shed tears.

The girl's limbs were chained and she was wearing a shabby white shirt. Her long black hair was randomly scattered around her. Her dull eyes moved her head in the direction of Li, tilted her head, and waited curiously. Let the stranger speak first.

Li hesitated for a while, then wiped his bloody right hand vigorously on his white coat, then approached the little girl and squatted down, turning her face to look at her carefully.

"Have you even lost your ability to speak?"

"..." The girl lowered her head, not knowing whether she had been told the truth or simply didn't want to speak.

"You should have heard all the fighting outside, and now you know the result."

The girl nodded.

"Seeing that you girl looks pretty good, I'll give you two options. One is to take you as my adopted daughter, heal your injuries and teach you, but you are responsible for providing the consumption of my gem magic. The other is to leave You are here alone to fend for yourself, 30 seconds to think about the time - well, thirty, I know you must choose one, come with me, from now on you will be called Anna."

The little girl who hadn't started to think was frightened by Li's astonishing speed of speech, and it took a long time to react, and finally said helplessly: "I have my own name and I'm Japanese, please, don't make me wonder. My name is Yuu."

Li patted the little girl on the head with satisfaction, and hugged her up.

"Isn't this able to talk? Then, I'm Li. From now on, please call me Mr. Li, little girl."

-

Rei was simply convinced by this little girl named Yu. Since her eye injury was cured, the workshop where he temporarily lived has become her amusement park, and she refuses to be idle for a while.

It stands to reason that after being imprisoned for such a long time, even a naturally arrogant lion will succumb, but Yuu has preserved her lively temperament after experiencing such a long confinement life, playing with what she can like a wild cat. Saw everything.

However, Li didn't try to stop her, even if she was a wild cat, she was still a lovely cat who would invite pets.

The vigilance against Li was only fleeting, and what was replaced by almost transcendent flattery, Li could understand the girl's fear of not wanting to go back to her previous life, so he laughed and laughed along with her.

The warm milk in the morning, the fried eggs, the slightly burnt cheese, the ingredients brought back by Li turned into fancy dishes at noon, the clean and tidy floor every day, and the neatly tidied clothes replaced those before Li. A life so irregular and sloppy that even a familiar is too lazy to summon it.

Li is very grateful that he has this well-behaved cat, although he knows that he and Yu are just using each other.

It was the first time he wanted to stay in the same place for so long...but he had to remind himself that it was just a relationship of mutual use.

Mutual advantage?What if this relationship is broken?Li had a whim and took action that day.

Squeezing tears every evening is a rule set by Li and You, and Yu won't be too painful. For a magician, there are naturally many ways to make her shed tears, but today, even Yu's only daily routine was suppressed. Li waved his hand and refused.

"Magic power is your vitality. If I squeeze it like this, you will not grow tall, little girl."

Li touched You's messy head, and really wanted to tell this little girl directly, please don't treat me as an outsider, I am your father, or something like that.

-

But even if Yu's tears were stopped, she was still getting thinner day by day, and her shiny black hair became withered and yellow, like a refugee who just escaped from a disaster area, and her beautiful dress couldn't hide her sluggish breath.

Rei knew what had happened, but still enjoyed Yuu's care day after day as before.

He wanted to know what Yuu's final choice would be if he didn't intervene.

On the last morning, Yu was more obsequious than before, and brought hot milk to Rei more innocently, but Rei realized very clearly that it was impossible for a little girl to make such an expression.

Such a false expression, looking forward to the success of his scheme.

Even so, Rei took the milk, looked into Yuu's eyes with a smile on his face, and prepared to drink it all in one gulp.

In the end, his own consciousness prevailed, Yuu changed his expression in an instant, rushed towards Li with a face of panic, knocked the cup in his hand to the ground, and crouched down crying to collect the pieces.

"I'm sorry I only warmed this cup of milk... Anyway, Mr. Li is tired of drinking, so go out and help me buy ingredients for lunch? I can't wait to make new dishes..."

Rei laughed heartily, then knelt down and stroked Yu's head.

"Then I'll go first. Seeing that you're getting thinner and thinner, go and rest after packing up."

The girl in front of her nodded quickly.

Walking out of the farthest range that the hut could see, he took out the magic ball connected with the familiar's eyes with half-joy and half-concern.

The familiar was only under surveillance today, and the parasite, who always thought Li was careless, would not have checked deliberately, let alone in such a hidden crack in the wall.

Yuu's previous trainer was a designated figure wanted by the Magic Association for the purpose of using forbidden techniques to pursue longevity, but there is no detailed record of what kind of forbidden techniques were used.

But now the answer is ready to come out - parasitism, gaining new life at the cost of absorbing a lot of magic power from the parasitized person.

Fortunately and unfortunately, it was Yu who was parasitized this time, and with an astonishing amount of magic power, at least she would not die of exhaustion of vitality like other parasitized people... Rei comforted herself like this.

If he didn't try to guide the parasite out, Li would have nothing to do with this forbidden technique.

The magic ball reflected Yuu who was curled up.

Moaning in extreme pain, the insect-like creatures under the skin were swimming around, extremely terrifying.

After a long time, the white snake came out of Yu's mouth, spitting out the letter, but clearly uttered words that humans can only utter.

"Trash dares to stop me! But it doesn't matter if the damn magician is alive, take me out of here now, and deal with him when I recover..."

It seemed that there was no need to listen to the words after that, and with a blank face, Li asked the familiar to launch a one-hit kill gem magic, and took away the life of the opponent for the second time.

After returning to the house, looking at Yu who was hugging her arms with excitement, Rei flicked her head mercilessly.

"Why didn't you just tell me?"

Yuu covered his head where a red mark was popped out, sucked the snot that was about to flow down, and replied innocently with teary eyes: "That monster said that an enchantment was set up at home, if I dare to say it, let Mr. Li to die..."

Rei covered his eyes with a speechless face, and continued to reward Yu another chestnut mercilessly: "Silly boy, don't I know about my own workshop? Have you been locked up for a long time and your brain has rusted?" Already?"

-

After living there for three months, Li was finally willing to take Yu out of their first residence.

The little girl held Li's hand reluctantly, looked back at the house she used to live in step by step, and kept asking Li if she would come back here in the future.

Li helplessly gathered her clothes together and replied, "No."

Yuu, whose eyes were already red, finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li smiled wryly and held Yu in his arms again, rubbed her eyes that could not hold back tears, and asked seriously.

"Doesn't the little girl have any wishes?"

As if stunned by this question, Yu stopped crying and answered after thinking for a long time.

"Wish? Of course it's by Mr. Li's side—where's Mr. Li?"

"Me, I want Yu to accompany me to see the world."
