[Chapter 65: "You are our customer."]

The sound of waves sounded again in the depths of the forest, a place beyond the reach of mortals, where the four super-level spell spirits shocked the world of magic. This is where we met for the first time.

"Are you my family?"

The newly born cursed spirit tilted its head, its cunning patched face revealing a bit of innocent curiosity.

As a cursed spirit born out of the hatred and fear of humans, it is a humanoid special-grade cursed spirit that possesses wisdom since its conception. It is for this reason that its real name is "Zhenren".

Huayu and Lehu, who had been looking forward to his birth, answered it.

The real person who received the answer nodded and found a place to sit on the bright beach without any grudge. Its birthplace is not here, but in the dim abandoned underground pipeline, and the person who is waiting for its birth is the man named Kensuo in front of it, and he is also the one who piled humans at its birthplace to urge its birth as soon as possible.

"Why do you do this?" The real person asked this question curiously when he first transformed from the cursed fetus.

Kensuo placed the frightened humans who were still alive at its feet like toys. Those humans looked at the child-like Kensuo with hateful and fearful eyes, "Because we need your power."

He urged, because he was just born. , it was also curious about its own abilities. In this way, he used the humans at his feet as materials to conduct various cruel human transformation experiments. Just when he was having fun, a group of new toys with weapons When it arrived, he originally wanted to continue playing, but Kensuo told it that their natural enemy, the Conjurer, was coming soon.

So, it had to give up those fun new toys and follow Kesuo to this field.

"Things have changed. We are no longer able to resurrect the cursed king Rangmen Sunuo as originally planned, but I already have a better way to deal with Gojo Satoru..." The

summer is long, in a casual cafe on the streets of Tokyo, playing A notice to residents was randomly inserted on the TV set playing a popular idol drama.

"Recently, due to frequent disasters in various places, relevant departments are calling on residents to stay at home as much as possible to avoid unnecessary outings..."

Such notices have been played in a loop countless times, and people stopped watching TV series and coffee because there were no guests. The waitress in the hall withdrew her gaze in boredom. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and three teenagers walked in. One was wearing a uniform, and the other two were wearing exquisite kimonos. The three of them had three completely different temperaments, which were much different than what she just saw. The protagonist of the TV series is even more eye-catching.

"Huan, welcome..." The waitress came back to her senses and reluctantly suppressed the surprise on her face, "Would you like something to drink?"

"A cup of macchiato."

Tan Mahiru ordered casually.

"Two macchiatos."

Dazai, who was so hot that he was out of shape, looked miserable and didn't even glance at the menu.

The waitress's eyes fell on Xia Youjie at the end.

Xia Youjie: "...three macchiatos."

After ordering, the three of them found a seat near the air conditioner, while the waiter happily returned to the kitchen to share the story of his encounter with the beautiful boy with his companions.

Three cups of macchiato were quickly served on the table, as well as three cups of cool ice cream. The shy waiter couldn't hide his excitement: "This is a new product in our store. I'll give it to you to try."

Mahiru Tan thanked her enthusiastically and Accepting it, he chose the most delicious strawberry flavor and pushed it in front of Dazai. Xia Youjie looked at Tan Mahiru's skillful appearance and couldn't help but be confused: "Don't you always have all kinds of gifts when you go out?" he

signaled. Looking at Dazai's face, Tan Mahiru said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this what it should be? And we are all paid."

They just didn't bother to look at the menu. Anyway, they could just rely on their faces to ask the clerk to deliver the most delicious products. Come up, they just need to pay later.

Xia Youjie: "..."

Looking at the two perfect-looking teenagers who stepped on the tail of childishness, indeed, he had no way to refute.

"Forget it, let's get down to business," Xia Youjie held his forehead, "There are frequent incidents of cursed spirits. The three Yu families are fighting among themselves, and high-level officials are mixed in. The entire cursed world is in chaos. What on earth have you... done?"

"I haven't done anything." After a few mouthfuls of ice cream, Dazai finally came to life. "It's just a redistribution of the unevenly distributed cake. And the follow-up development depends on you." "

Look at me?" Xia Youjie Stunned.

Dazai nodded lazily: "After all, you are our customer, right, Mahiru."

Tan Mahiru, who was also showing off his ice cream, nodded. He pointed to the last serving of mango ice cream and asked Xia Youjie: " Do you want to eat it?

"

He continued to eat the ice cream with the spoon he had used.

Xia Youjie: "..."

Xia Youjie, who had a headache and stomachache again, couldn't hold back his regrets, "Just order another one! Why do you have to divide the ice cream like this! The ice cream will make you cry. Okay, and no macho man would share ice cream like this!"

"But the result will be the same if you order another." Tan Mahiru's voice was confused, no matter how many portions he ordered, he would give the best to Dazai.

Dazai couldn't help but nod while biting the ice cream spoon.

Xia Youjie: "...Where did you just say that? Oh, the world of magic, I have been investigating the past of the Panxing Sect on my own in the past few days. Their behavior is indeed very strange. The person in charge is actually a man of about ten years old. The child, and this child has sutures on his head. If there are no accidents, he should be the 'Kamo Kenrun' you once expelled."

Dazai sighed, took down the ice cream spoon, and looked at Xia with relief as he started to grow a brain. You Jie, "What else?"

"The other reason is... After the death of the astral body, Master Tianyuan's evolution cannot be stopped, and curse spirits appear frequently in various places - I have studied carefully, these curse spirits should not be so fast. It has developed to the extent that it can harm ordinary people. The reason why it is so fast is that there are signs of being urged and stimulated, and these have further accelerated the evolution of Lord Tianyuan. Obviously this is the purpose of 'Kamo Kenrun', but why is he doing this? What to do? Can Master Tianyuan become his kind after the curse is transformed into a spirit?"

Xia Youjie, who was missing the most crucial link, couldn't figure it out and stirred the coffee in his hand distressedly.

Tan Mahiru and Dazai looked at each other, and Tan Mahiru changed his mind, "Let's leave those things aside, the main thing is you. Have you thought clearly about what you want to do in the future? Or the goal to be accomplished? The path to take?"

Xia Youjie was silent again.

He has been busy these days and has no time to think, but he is indeed still confused. After the conclusion of the strong and the weak has been overturned, he is at a loss and doesn't even know what he should do.

"Ah," at this moment, Tan Mahiru raised his mobile phone, "Gojo Satoru offered me double the price to exorcise the cursed spirit."

Xia Youjie: "..."

After leaving the cafe, Tan Mahiru hurried Going to Gojo's location, Xia Youjie followed Dazai back to Kamo's house.

With the sudden turmoil in the magic world, the favored Kamo family took the lead because they were willing to spend money. In order to prolong this hard-won joy, they promoted Dazai to the top customer of the Kamo family and equipped him with the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. , while hoping to form a friendship, there is only one requirement: not to sell guns and ammunition to the Gojo family and the Zenyuan family.

Dazai agreed. After all, members of the Port Mafia could not really go to the battlefield with kitchen knives. It would take some time for a new batch of weapons customized from abroad to arrive in Yokohama.

The driver assigned to Dazai was Kamo, who only had magic powers but no magic. He picked up and dropped off diligently and carefully, hoping to please the big shot and get rewards hidden in every action.

Xia Youjie and Dazai got into the car together, and the car restarted and drove smoothly towards Kamo's house. In the quiet carriage, Dazai closed his eyes and rested his mind. The information known so far reappeared in his mind, including the purpose of the curse spirits, the requests of the lower-level spell masters, the requirements of various schools in the spell world, and the expectations and methods of the higher-ups. As well as all the situations that would happen next, countless possibilities ran through his mind. Finally, the most likely inference emerged...

"Dazai..."

A voice interrupted him.

Dazai opened his eyes and looked sideways at Xia Youjie, who was also in the car.

"About Mahiru..."

Xia Youjie was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Have you already been able to think about other people's affairs before your own affairs have been resolved?" Dazai sneered, "It seems that you really need Mahiru's help."

Xia Youjie opened his mouth and suddenly faced Dazai. A completely gloomy look.

Ever since they killed the cursed spirit together in Leibo Street, Xia Youjie knew that both Nakahara Chuuya and Tan Mahiru had some personality problems. Chuuya was trapped by kindness and trapped in the swamp called companions. In the end, After being betrayed and joining the Port Mafia, Tan Mahiru...

It was a scorching hot summer outside the window, but there was a different kind of chilling coldness inside the car window. Xia Youjie frowned, looking at him with eyes that couldn't be said A pure thing, it is not a simple possessiveness, it is a collection of all the dark emotions that are not easily revealed to others. It is the only thing that a soul struggling in a hopeless world can grasp to support him to continue walking.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was wrong. They were two-sided beings, both of whom were on the edge of the world. If Dazai is Tan Mahiru's beacon who never loses his direction, then Tan Mahiru is Dazai's hope for the beauty of the world. Daobao, they... are pure, struggling and working hard in this world for each other, and only they know what is etched in their souls through the years spent with each other.

Tan Mahiru is not a one-sided dedication. Unlike Tan Mahiru, who is always happy to express his enthusiasm over and over again, Dazai is restrained. His excessive wisdom allows him to see the world clearly and at the same time understand what kind of dazzling treasure he has. This is the only thing that the absurd world has given him. A precious thing, so no matter who dares to covet it, he will suffer his most violent revenge.

"Sorry."

Xia Youjie whispered, and the scene where Tan Mahiru risked everything for Dazai and destroyed the curse with a knife flashed through his mind.

"I'm just worried as a friend. Not only me, but also Satoru and Noctua-sensei. They are all worried that Mahiru will pay too much attention to you and neglect herself. Of course, we don't have any other intentions, just pure hope. He can grow up well and live happily."

Small theater:

Xia Youjie (future defector): I am really worried that Tan Mahiru will grow up to be a big villain!

Dazai (so angry that his soul is shaking): If you are targeted by a cursed spirit and are about to die, you should worry about yourself first.

Gojo Satoru:...

Tan Mahiru: ...

Updated today.

See you at 18:00 in the evening.

[Chapter 66: "A person worth pursuing."]

Kangsuo, who had painstakingly planned to make Tianyuan evolve into a curse spirit, was not trying to add a partner of the same race. His plot was more than Much more than imagined.

In less than a week, the magic world was in a panic. Unnatural cases emerged one after another. The number of victims soared. Official warnings came one after another. All members of the magic world failed to save the situation, even because people did not understand the magic spirit. Because of this, the creeping fear further nourishes the curse spirit.

Gojo Satoru, who was busy running around, hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Even his short rest time was spent in the assistant supervisor's car. It was the same this time, but this time he didn't take advantage of the meager time to take a nap. The call from home was answered.

The last phone call from Tan Mahiru set off his alarm, forcing him to take time out from exorcising the cursed spirits to go home and inherit the position of head of the family. Although the inheritance process was a bit violent, it didn't matter.

Although this incident did not change anything, now all major decisions of the Gojo family must be approved and issued with his approval.

The other end of the phone was still complaining nonchalantly about the Kamo family and the senior management being disrespectful and violating the ancestral agreement. Gojo Satoru pressed his head that was stinging due to lack of rest and said, "Tell me the important point."

Elder Gojo was choked for a while, and it took a while. He whispered: "Lord Shenzi, these are extraordinary times. The Yusan family and the senior officials unanimously believe that Xia Youjie should be recalled. After all, he is one of the few super-level magicians and should contribute his strength to the peace of mankind."

" Huh? I said, have you forgotten what I said before?"

Elder Gojo: "..."

Gojo Satoru frowned impatiently, and his low tone concealed a storm: "If you dare to go past me and recall Xia Youjie , I don’t mind throwing the troublemaking curse in your faces..."

The phone was hung up, and there was dead silence in the car again, and the next destination was right in front of us.

Arriving at the destination, Gojo Satoru got out of the car and was flashed by the cursed aura that hit his face. He really didn't understand that the situation was obviously so dangerous. You can play mahjong with your fingers, but the culprit who planned all this is still hiding in the dark. How do the rotten oranges still have the strength to pinch each other? Responsibility is not important? Are the people who died in disasters unimportant? Or is it just not important in their minds?

Gojo Satoru, who was under sudden pressure, rubbed his hair irritably, and his small round sunglasses had already been pulled off. He looked at the savings he had made during this period of time for tasks. Well, there were several more zeros, which was more than he could spend. .

Turning off the deposit information, Gojo Satoru called Mahiru Tan backhand, "Do you have money to make money? The old rule is that you have more money and less work, so don't procrastinate."

"Earn it!"

Mahiru Tan stood up straight after receiving the call, in front of Dazai. With the phone in one hand and the other hand, he took off Dazai's clothes, put on the worthless clothes prepared by the Kamo family, and went out happily. Before going out, he asked Dazai what he wanted for dinner.

Dazai, who hadn't gone out for a week, quietly looked at the kimonos scattered on the ground, and after a long time he ordered a bowl of soba noodles.

Tan Mahiru didn't let Gojo Satoru wait too long and arrived at the scene of the crime within five minutes.

Adhering to the principle of trust, Gojo Satoru sent the money for the task in front of him and the next three tasks to Tan Mahiru. He used a large amount of money in exchange for half an afternoon's rest. He took a nap first, and then transferred to the market. Ou bought a few portions of the fatally sweet Dafu that he hadn't eaten in a long time, and finally returned to the Magic College slowly.

Compared with before summer, the high school was much quieter. All the students and teachers who could go out to fight, even Teacher Noctua, had to go out to perform tasks, which showed how serious the situation was.

"That is to say, the only ones staying in school now are Glass who is responsible for the treatment and Jie who is responsible for protecting Glass during the break."

Carrying the Daifuku, Gojo Satoru went to the medical room first, and as expected, he saw Glass and... who were also very busy. ...a spell of Jay's.

"Where's Jie?" Gojo Satoru handed over the packed Daifuku and poked the magic spirit left by Xia Youjie to protect the glass.

Ieichi Glass frowned, "I don't eat sweets. He went to see Master Tianyuan and said that there are some questions that need to be answered." "

Then I'll go find him."

Gojo Satoru was about to go out. Suddenly, there was less than three minutes of silence. Hours' cell phone rang again, with rapid sounds one after another. Before he could answer it, a second call came in... In less than a minute, his phone was full of calls.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gojo Satoru picked a number he liked and answered, "What's the matter? Tell me the main point." The person on

the other side paused for a moment, then opened his mouth in a panic: "There is a turmoil in the magic world. The new generation of Kamo and Zenyuan are here." There was a fight at the exorcism site because of a conflict, and it happened that the curse spirit... No, it was a window survey error. The curse spirit at the scene was not a first-level but a quasi-special-level. It was promoted to a special-level on the spot. Neither the new generation of the two families could react... Almost, almost all the outstanding members who participated in the battle died because of this."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

"Are they okay with their brains?!" Even though he was used to seeing big scenes, Gojo Satoru couldn't help laughing angrily, "This At this time, you still have time to cause trouble?"

The other end of the phone no longer dared to speak.

The sultry sun moved westward little by little, and finally it was time to set. The deep night enveloped the sky, the wind blew through the woods, and the ancient buildings hidden in the mountains were brightly lit. Distant cries and anger reached everyone's ears. Those who had just glimpsed the bright future, those who had just tasted the glory and splendor, and even the Kamo people who had not had time to catch the last train gathered together angrily, clamoring to arrive. The Zen master is looking for an explanation.

One person's voice is weak, but when enough voices gather together, even the most skillful leader has to listen to such a voice, even though this voice is not correct.

Not far from here, on the tallest tree, two figures stood against the wind, watching this absurd scene from a distance.

"So," Tan Mahiru thought for a while, "Is this the rumored 'half-cooked meat theory'? [11] Sure enough, no matter how strong an alliance is, it will fall apart due to interests." The pursuit of

personal interests is something that has been engraved since the birth of human beings. Due to the
