Chapter 54: Fifty-Four Days of the Tool Man
"...It suits you very well, Eiji." Gojo Satoru, who was wearing regular clothes and round sunglasses, took two steps back, and then opened his eyes slightly.
At this time, his sunglasses had slid down to the middle of the bridge of his nose, and the small lenses could not block his pale blue eyes at all.
Opposite him was Hiiragi Eiji who was wearing a pair of thin-rimmed gold glasses.
This kind of Hiiragi Eiji has added a bookish air to his gentle temperament in the past. When he doesn't smile, he has a hint of coldness.
Even if the three students were dissatisfied with Gojo Satoru's various unreliable behaviors in daily life, they had to admire him at this time - he really knows how to pick out frames.
"As expected of the glasses I personally selected." Gojo Satoru nodded with satisfaction.
This is Gojo Satoru's birthday gift to Hiiraeiji - glasses that can see curses. From now on, Hiiraeiji is no longer someone who can only passively judge the location of the curse.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Hiiraeiji thanked Gojo Satoru with a smile, and then he looked at the three students who all had dark faces, "The teachers all like your gifts. Thank you for your hard work in preparing them for me." Yes."
In fact, when he said these words, Hiiraeiji felt faintly uneasy in his heart, because the gifts given by the students could be said to be very thoughtful and valuable, and they were comparable to those given by Gojo Satoru.
After hearing what Hiiragi Eiji said, the expressions of several people improved slightly.
There is no way! This guy Gojo Satoru really has too many advantages.
Looking back at the student trio, there are really many tricks - first, the three of them jointly bought a special-grade cursed short knife for Hiiraeiji. Of course, Gojo Satoru contributed to it.
Then Fushiguro Megumi gave Hiiraeiji a pair of cufflinks, Hisato Hiroyuki made a birthday cake by himself, and Kugisaki Wild Rose went to Ginza for a day of shopping to choose an outfit for Hiiraeiji.
"As long as you like it." In this regard, the three people's responses were very unified.
"Eiji, today's birthday is actually completely different from what's on your file. Why do you write today as your birthday on the staff list of the high school?" Gojo Satoru asked curiously.
Hiiraeiji was a little surprised that he asked so straightforwardly. After thinking about it, he said: "Because the birthday on the file is wrong." ...
That is his date of birth, and the system based on the most realistic situation Profile generated for him.
But for Hiiragi Eiji, it is just the date of birth. His birthday will always be the day he met Naruto. It was such a hot afternoon accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.
"Today is my birthday."
The four of them vaguely felt that something was wrong with Hiiragi Eiji's expression.
...Why do you subconsciously look nostalgic and sad when you mention your birthday?
"I see, it seems I'm not mistaken!" Gojo Satoru said proudly.
The nostalgic look on Hiiraeiji's face was instantly put away. He said with a smile: "Yes, that's not wrong at all."
Then, the five of them sat around the low table in Hiiraeiji's dormitory and ate hot pot. .
Just when Hiiragi Eiji was shocked by the special meatballs of Konoden Hishito, and began to ask Hishito Kodene how to make meatballs with great interest, Gojo Satoru suddenly said: "Ah, I have always forgotten to tell you one thing. The sister school exchange meeting will start in about a month, and the group from Kyoto High School will arrive with us in about five days. There is also good news, that is, the three second-year students will also come back tomorrow. "
So, except for the sound of the hot pot boiling, all other sounds in the room disappeared.
Looking at the frozen four people, Gojo Satoru was a little surprised and said: "What's wrong? Why are you all so surprised? This exchange meeting is a very ordinary one. Students from the first to third grades of the two schools compete with each other to show their respective schools' talents. If you perform well in teaching, you will also get the opportunity to be re-evaluated as a conjurer."
After listening to Gojo Satoru's explanation, the three students couldn't bear it anymore and all roared: "Tell me about such important things earlier next time. Ah——!"
After thoroughly accepting the so-called sister school exchange meeting, the three students calmed down. It was just a competition after all. There is still a month to improve their strength, and it is not that urgent. What's more, Eisi The teacher is here too. At this time, there is absolutely no reason for him not to end, right?
Therefore, the three of them were vaguely looking forward to their future study life.
While the three children were talking about the sister school exchange meeting, Hiiraeiji also sat next to Gojo Satoru holding a delicious cake.
Because after telling the story about the sister school exchange meeting, Hiiraeiji felt that although this guy was smiling, his attitude was a little wrong, as if he was not very happy.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem with this communication?" Hiiraeiji deliberately lowered his voice. He knew that Gojo Satoru didn't directly name the relationship, but he didn't want the students to know.
After hearing Hiiragi Eiji's question, Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at him quietly for a long time, and then he sighed: "...What's going on, Eiji, how do you know me so well? Because the leader of the team The old man is also a member of the bunch of rotten oranges at the top."
"Gojo Satoru's favorability +5."
However, this was just like his ordinary exclamation. After finishing speaking, Gojo Satoru had no further words.
Hiiraeiji was a little helpless. He clicked on the NPC panel and found that Gojo Satoru's favorability towards him had reached 67 points, but magically, he still had no impression of Hiiraeiji.
After these days, Hiiraeiji vaguely felt that he had touched some of this white-haired thought. Gojo Satoru probably really doesn't care about these details. He has a sense of self-confidence and feels very normal about other people's good impressions of him.
Such an idea is really childish, but Hiiragi Eiji is not disgusted with it, and even finds it quite cute. Once again he felt like he was taking care of an overage child.
Thinking like this, Hiiraeiji couldn't help but frown, and his reaction made Gojo Satoru look at him.
...Hiiraeiji's smile does seem to be different from everyone else's. Gojo Satoru thought secretly in his heart.
But he didn't delve into why he had such thoughts. Just like before, he left behind the wonderful feeling that Hiiragi Eiji brought him. In the near future, he will gradually realize what this means.
"Gojo Satoru favorability +1"
The next day, as expected, as Gojo Satoru said, the three second-year students returned to the Magic College. It was also at this time that Hiiragi Eiji learned that there were four second-year students in total. And the fourth one is stationed abroad to deal with the curse problem there.
After meeting three second-year students, Hiiragi Eiji was a little surprised, because one of them turned out to be a panda-like curse made by Principal Noctua Masami. It...or him, had human-like thinking and speaking abilities, and could communicate. When he stood up, Hiiraeiji was completely unaware that this thing was actually made of inanimate objects.
The remaining two second-year students, one is named Zenyuan Maki, a capable girl with long dark green hair, and the other is a young man named Inu Makiji. He has a very unique language system - he He only uses rice ball fillings to express his meaning when speaking.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand at first. As long as we get along with each other for a few more days, Yingsi, you will definitely understand what Ji is talking about." Panda patted Gojuan Ji on the shoulder and explained to Hiiragi Yingsi, "He is a spell master. If It would be easy to curse the person he was talking to if he spoke normally, so I just expressed it this way."
"Salmon!" Dog Juanji responded immediately.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..." It's really amazing! Looking at it this way, the three children in first grade are really too normal!
At first, the three second-year students also had a slight resistance to Hiiragi Eiji, but their persistence suddenly shattered within three days.
"...Who can refuse such a male mother?" Panda couldn't help but sigh as he watched his two companions feasting in the cafeteria. Especially under the comparison of Youwu, this good impression comes even more easily.
Especially the three people in the first grade spared no effort in praising the new teacher.
So, the second graders accepted their new teacher smoothly.
Hiiraeiji was also very happy when he saw that the second-year student's favorability level reached around 40. Because all his efforts have received positive responses, it feels really happy.
On Monday morning, Hiiraeiji was going back to the Metropolitan Police Department to report on his work. After learning that he was going out, Fushiguro Megumi said that he could accompany Hiiraeiji back.
As a result, the two of them quickly drove away from the grounds of the Magic College.
By the time the two came back, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. However, upon returning to Hiiragi Eiji, he found Wild Rose and Hisahito sitting silently on the rest chairs next to the training ground.
"...What's going on?" Hiiraeiji walked to the two of them worriedly.
Hearing his voice, the two of them looked up instantly.
"...Those guys from Kyoto are here." Wild Rose said dully.
Hiiragi knew something was going on as soon as he heard it, "Did you have a conflict?"
Thinking back to what happened just now, Wild Rose wanted to grit her teeth.
"...Well, we had a fight," said Hisahito Knotweed, as he scratched the back of his head, "But there was no fight."
Wild Rose showed displeasure as expected, supporting Hisuhito Knotweed's words in disguise.
"...It's different from what I imagined. People from the Kyoto school." Hisuhito Knotweed murmured, "The relationship between them and us doesn't feel like we are sister schools at all, and we don't get along at all." "
No, that one is called Todo . Guy, don’t you really agree with you and want to be friends with you?” Kugizaki Wild Rose complained expressionlessly.
"Huh?!" Thinking of the muscular man during the day, Hisato Kizune felt bad. "This kind of recognition is so weird! Is it just because my favorite female star is Jennifer Lawrence?!"
Kyoto High School There was a muscular brother named Aoi Higashikata. This brother was very unconventional. After arriving at the high school, he searched for living people all over the mountains and plains. Unfortunately, Hisato Hisato and Rose Kugizaki were hit by him.
After the two parties met, Todo Aoi stepped forward and said to Hisuhito Knotweed, "Really Knotweed? What type of woman do you like?"
Hisuhito Knotweed was stunned for a second, and then subconsciously said: "It's just the type that you appreciate. ," After saying that, he pointed at himself with a smile and said: "My favorite female star is Jennifer Lawrence!"
Then... Todo Aoi cried on the spot, because after hearing the answer from Hisato Hisahi, he felt that The Japanese knotweed Hisahito would be his spiritual best friend - and then he would beat up the Japanese knotweed Hisahito violently out of friendship.
After hearing this outrageous experience, Hiiraeiji and Fushiguro Megumi immediately fell silent.
...I always feel like this is not a normal person!
Kugisaki Wild Rose said sharply: "Oh, that's because you two like women with good figures. Men." After saying that, Kugisaki Wild Rose turned away, obviously not wanting to deal with this kind of guy who is too straight. .
"...I told you I just admire the type of women, right?" The guy didn't ask him what type of men he liked? ! Even if you ask a man, he can answer it!
As Kugizaki's wild rose tilted her head, Fushiguro Megumi's figure was instantly reflected in her eyes. "Hey, Fushiguro, what about you? What type of women do you like?" she asked.
Fushiguro Megumi, who was originally just listening to the two people's outrageous experiences, never expected that she would be dragged into such a vortex of contradictions.
But before he had a chance to speak, he saw three pairs of eyes, including Hiiragi Eiji's, looking at him.
Fushiguro Megumi covered her forehead in silence, "...What the hell are you doing." "
Tell me, Fushiguro, look, I said it all!" Hisuhito said with a straight face.
...So you want to drag him into trouble now? Fushiguro Megumi looked at Knotweed Yuhito expressionlessly. I always feel like this guy did it on purpose.
After a long while, Fushiguro Megumi sighed heavily. Facing three pairs of eyes focused on him, he calmly replied: "The woman I like...it's better to say the type I like."
However, he only heard this sentence. , Polygonum cuspidatum Hisuhito felt his heart tremble.
...He is good at Fushikuro! He actually bypassed this problem just like that! Why didn't he think of it then? !
"I like people who stick to their beliefs, are kind and considerate."
Kugizaki Wild Rose was very satisfied with his answer, "Not bad, it's a shame that you have such a boring personality and can say such things so calmly."
Fushiguro Megumi : "..."
Wild Rose involuntarily looked at the last male present. She didn't notice that her two companions were looking at her with strange eyes at this moment, as if they were waiting with concentration. Then Wild Rose asked the previous question.
However, Wild Rose did not understand the signals between the two at all. She said very naturally: "Forget it, Mr. Yingsi, I can't imagine the type you told me you like." At this point, Wild Rose said sonorously: "Because of you It belongs to all of us——!"
Hiiraeiji was a little helpless, and he also didn't notice the split expressions of the other two boys.
"Actually, no matter what type of woman you admire, it's normal." Hiiragi Eiji said to the three of them.
...His best friend Rei Fukiya also admires gentle older women.
This is not a problem at all. Hiiragi Eiji thought relaxedly.
But then, he continued: "Did you only meet one person from Kyoto High School this afternoon?" After saying that, he glanced at Hisuhito Knotweed, and he clearly saw a sad emotion on Knotweed's face. Guilty, just because I haven’t hit anyone else?
Kugizaki's face also darkened visibly, "No, there's also Maki-san's twin sister, Zenin Mayi." She glanced at the Japanese knotweed Yuhito who suddenly became quiet, and continued: "She said to the knotweed Ugly words. Just wait, I will definitely blow up those guys at the exchange meeting."
Hiiragi Eiji's expression immediately became a little serious, just as he was thinking about how to bypass Hisahito and go to Wild Rose to inquire. When this happened, Higurashi Hisato spoke up: "She feels...or should I say, most people in the magic world feel that I am an unstable...container." When
saying this, Hiroyuki The lively feeling in Yourito's body suddenly dissipated. His expression was a little lonely, but he soon laughed again, "But it doesn't matter, I will prove it to them at the exchange meeting. I am not a container for Su Nuo." , but a qualified conjurer."
After hearing his answer, Kugizaki Wild Rose and Fushiguro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief. Only Hiiraeiji looked at the pink-haired boy steadily.
But when he saw that Hirohito had returned to his usual appearance, he asked Fushiguro Megumi what the two of them had done in the afternoon. In the end, Hiiraeiji didn't say anything, but just allowed Hisashi to keep his face that he shouldn't have. The smile of existence.
At 7:30 that night, the sky was completely dark. The three first-year students who had finished their training were eating dinner in the cafeteria. Halfway through the meal, their cell phones rang one after another.
They were all a little surprised, then they stopped eating and lowered their heads to open the mailbox on their mobile phones.
"I found fireflies on the back hill of the high school. Do you want to watch them together after dinner?
PS: I have prepared snacks and juice as a relaxing activity between training.
Hiiragi Eiji"
After reading the email, the three of them raised their eyebrows almost at the same time. Got his head up.
"...Have you received it too?" Fushiguro Megumi asked.
The remaining two nodded.
After receiving a positive answer, Fushiguro Megumi drank all the noodle soup in the bowl, then placed the bowl on the table with a soft sound.
The two people sitting opposite him did exactly the same thing as he did before - they both ate the rice in the bowl as quickly as possible.
"...are you leaving?" Fushiguro Megumi asked.
"Let's go!"
When the three first-year students just left the cafeteria and passed by the dormitory area, they directly met three second-year students.
Hishito Knotweed said in surprise: "Senior, you...?"
Zenyuan Maki raised the phone in his hand, and there was an email on the screen.
...As expected, it comes from Hiiragi Eiji.
Zenyuan Maki raised her eyebrows and looked at the three first-year students whose expressions suddenly became a little subtle, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?" "
...No." The three of them replied wearily.
I thought it was just the three of them.
"Then let's go."
So, a group of six people met Hiiraeiji carrying a food box on the road to the back mountain.
There were no street lights in this area, and the moonlight cast a hazy light on the ground. Even in this light, Hiiraeiji was still very conspicuous. The six people noticed the light-haired young man bathing in the moonlight almost at the same time.
"Are you all here? When you go up the mountain with me later, you must pay attention to the road under your feet. Some places are a little difficult to walk." Hiiragi couldn't help but warned.
As he said this, he took out a flashlight. Just when he was about to lead the six people up the mountain, his right hand suddenly lightened up. When he looked down, he realized that the food box and juice he was holding were hidden Kuroe and Hirohito took it directly.
"Teacher, if you're responsible for leading the way, don't carry so many things." Hisuhito said with a smile.
The corner of Hiiragi Eiji's mouth subconsciously curved, "Okay, I'll teach you."
This natural interaction made the three second-year students behind marveled. The panda couldn't help but said to Gou Juanji and Zenyuan Maki. : "...It seems that the three freshmen in the first grade have been completely captured by Teacher Eiji."
Zenyuan Maki looked at the panda with an inexplicable expression, "What else? Don't you have one?" Especially in a person like Gojo Satoru. Compare it to a tragic reference.
The panda was quiet for two seconds, and then gave a thumbs-up to Zenyuan Maki with both hands, "Of course I do too!"
Dog Juanji also gave two thumbs up: "Salmon!"
Zenyuan Maki: "..."
So, seven people in a row People started to set off towards the back mountain.
At the same time, Gojo Satoru, who couldn't find anyone anywhere, simply used his six eyes to find traces of his students. Although he didn't understand why these children were running towards the back mountain, he still followed them.
However, when he finally caught up with everyone, he was slightly stunned by the grand scene in front of him. Gojo Satoru rarely saw such a large number of people traveling in high school.
The staff in the high school is very sparse. Usually when he takes three students to class, it is considered a crowded situation, but now - Hiiragi Eiji, who is walking at the front, leads the six students behind him, chatting and walking back up the mountainside. Go up.
Seeing Hiiraeiji paying attention to the movements of the students behind him from time to time, Gojo Satoru couldn't help laughing.
...It's almost like a mother chicken traveling with six chicks.
And these six little chickens showed a completely different state from when they faced him on weekdays - they didn't have any resistance, nor did they show any impatience or speechless expressions on their faces, they were just so obedient. Following Hiiragi Eiji.
...where is this going? Why are all the students here but there is no place for him? Is this reasonable? Of course it’s unreasonable!
After thinking for a while, Gojo Satoru followed him calmly. His aura was hidden very well, so no one noticed his presence.
After all, he also wanted to hear the whispers in Chicken Paradise.
So, Gojo Satoru, who was standing in the dark, watched as several people found the place where the fireflies were. They lay down on the grass in this area very relaxedly.
Listening to several people chatting all the way, the topic finally turned to what everyone wanted to do in the future.
"What do you want to do? Let's say it's a dream and a goal. Beat up those people in the Chanyuan family, and then become a powerful magician, making those disgusting guys beyond their reach." Chanyuan Maki didn't care. said.
The panda was very helpless: "This is really a dream, Maki. As for me, just continue to live with everyone like this." As he said, he patted the dog Juan Ji next to him, "Forget it about Ji, anyway, he I can't tell."
Gojuanji: "...Muyuhua." His voice was a little listless, as if he was disappointed that he couldn't participate in this topic.
Kugizaki Wild Rose automatically answered: "Find someone, and then live as you please. I don't have so many ideas, that's probably it."
Hiiragi Eiji said with a smile: "That's also very good, because many people can't do it. See how free and easy Wild Rose is."
Fushiguro Megumi, who was lying next to Hiiraeiji, glanced at Hiiraeiji twice before saying, "Unequal protection of the people I should protect."
Hiiraeiji was a little surprised. This was different from the beginning of the system. The desire to see him was different.
'In an unfair world, create an environment that allows good people to live a better life. '
It seems that I just selected a part of my wishes and expressed them.
"...Is there such a thing as inequality in protecting others?" Wild Rose complained in a low voice.
After saying that, she poked the knotweed Hishito lying next to her with her elbow, "It's your turn."
"...I hope that everyone can have a correct death." Looking at the dark night, accompanied by bursts of With the sound of cicadas chirping, Knotweed Hisahito whispered, "Deaths caused by curses are incorrect."
His hands clenched slightly uncontrollably. At this moment, he felt that the others seemed to have disappeared. I could only feel my heart beating violently in my chest.
In just a short moment, he thought of a lot. Perhaps the quiet night gave him too much uneasiness, and the scenes during the day kept echoing in his mind.
It seems that most people in this world only have a superficial impression of him - a container of Su Nuo, synonymous with danger. Based on this condition, it seemed that what they saw was just him carrying the curse in his body. They didn't want to understand his thoughts, and they couldn't bear to hear his explanation.
These people can only see what they want to see in their eyes.
Before today, he had never doubted his dream. But today, after hearing different voices and meeting all kinds of people, he began to feel self-doubt. Can it really be done...? Or, is his wish really correct?
Suddenly, a warm hand covered the top of his hair, stroking it slowly and tenderly, removing all the uneasiness and fear in his heart.
Immediately, the clear voice that he was very familiar with rang out, "What a great wish, Hisahito." Hiiraeiji's voice rang out at the right time, "It's a great dream."
This was straightforward and obvious. The words of approval were like a shot in the arm, and Hisato Hirohito took a deep, deep breath.
"...Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't say anything before. I wasn't questioning what you meant. I just suddenly discovered that-" Zenyuan Maki was the second person to speak, "...you are quite powerful, even with such a wish You dare to have it. However, your words are quite awkward. Wouldn't it be better to just say that you want to get rid of the curse and save more people?"
Dog Juanji: "Salmon."
Panda: "But, the right death It's still a bit unclear, for humans. However, this kind of wish should be in a very powerful category among humans. Not bad, Hisuhito."
Kugizaki Wild Rose: "...Hey, let's continue first. You can talk like this after you get the level of a conjurer in the exchange meeting."
Meguro Fushiguro closed her eyes directly, "If you keep talking like this, the fireflies will fly away."
He finally understood why. Tonight, Teacher Yingsi will take them to the back mountain to see fireflies. He must have discovered that the knotweed had some self-doubt due to the people in Kyoto, so he deliberately affirmed him in such a warm and subtle way.
It was obvious that he was not the one being comforted, but after understanding the deep meaning behind Hiiraeiji's behavior, Fushiguro Megumi felt a faint warmth rising in his heart.
The noise around him suddenly broke the barrier that isolated Hishito from the world. He felt the warm summer wind blowing through his slightly sweaty forehead, and his nose was filled with the aroma of earth.
A burst of laughter suddenly appeared in the casual conversation of everyone. Then, the laughter became more and more uncontrollable. Except for Hiiragi Eiji, everyone else looked at the smiling Japanese knotweed Yuu with some surprise. Benevolence.
"...Am I an idiot?" He was actually troubled by those guys' doubts.
Megumi Fushiguro and Rose Kugizaki said in unison: "You are."
At this time, other students couldn't help it and burst into laughter on the spot.
Hiiraeiji couldn't help but feel a little amused as he listened to the notification sound in his head that increased his favorability. Why are these kids so easy to coax? Just coming out for a spin, it actually added so much favorability.
Hiiraeiji was just having fun with the gentle-eyed group of students, and during this lively moment, Hiiraeiji met a pair of shining dark golden eyes - Hisashi Hiiragi was staring at him for an instant.
The moment Hiiragi Eiji looked at him, the pink-haired boy silently said to him: Thank you, Eiji-sensei.
"The impression of Hisuhito has changed"
"The impression of Hisuhito: the most beautiful person in the world"
Hiiragi Eiji laughed.
…It’s not that exaggerated. He just did what every teacher would do.
"What about you, Teacher Eiji, what do you want to do?" Zenyuan Maki couldn't help but ask Hiiragi Eiji after listening for a while.
"Me..." Hiiraeiji looked at the fireflies flying nearby and whispered: "I hope to protect all the important people around me." "
...How to put it, it really looks like the wish of the male protagonist of a shounen manga." Panda He muttered quietly.
"However, there is no sense of disobedience at all," Kugizaki Norose said. "It fits Teacher Eiji's style very well." The
three first-year students who experienced the special cursed fetus incident all had this idea.
"Teacher Eiji," Hiiragi Hisari turned his head and looked at the person lying next to him, "Then we...are also considered your guardians?"
Hiiragi Eiji smiled and touched his head, "Of course. Every one of them."
After hearing his affirmative reply, Hishito Kizuna couldn't help but grin.
At this moment, a very discordant voice broke in, "Eisi! What about me? Am I considered your guardian?"
In an instant, the originally harmonious and warm atmosphere was broken by this sudden voice. Almost every student's forehead couldn't help but twitch.
...How did this guy come here?
The next second, Gojo Satoru confidently squeezed in between Hiirai Eiji and Kozune Hisahito, and directly snatched the pink-haired boy's Feng Shui throne away.
Hiroyuki Hirohito: "...?"
Hiiraeiji was also a little speechless. After calming down, he said: "Yes, you are included."
Gojo Satoru's reaction directly made all the students' fists harden, and they just listened This guy let out an exclamation, and then said in an incredible tone: "I am the strongest, do you even want to protect me?"
Students: "..." Then what are you asking!
But in Hiiraeiji's mind, he once again remembered the voice of Gojo Satoru's increasing favorability.
"Gojo Satoru's favorability +1"
Hiiraeiji: "..." So how did he say such words and silently increase his favorability in his heart? ! Is it because you are completely unaware of your own problem? !
"...But, it's not bad. I hear something like this once in a while." Gojo Satoru chuckled.
And this kind of conversation content and this kind of reaction made Hiiraeiji inevitably think of a person.
...Chuuya seemed to have a similar reaction.
Hiiraeiji felt his heart throbbing again, and even the smile on his face couldn't help but fade a little.
Only Fushiguro Megumi, who was lying on the other side of him and observing his reaction, noticed his subtle reaction.
The black-haired boy calmly put his hand on Hiiraeiji's wrist.
...Although I don’t know why the teacher is sad, at this moment when he is giving everyone warmth, he should not be allowed to show such an expression.
After a month of special training, the first and second grade students of the high school have achieved certain gratifying results. In order to reward these hard-working children, Hiiraeiji decided to take them out to relax.
"...Why don't we just go watch a movie?" Hisato Hiroyuki pointed to the recently screened "Earthworm 3" and suggested to Hiiragi Eiji.
"Okay, where's Megumi? Do you want to see it?" Hiiraeiji turned to look at Fushiguro Megumi again.
"Okay."
Since Wild Rose wanted to go shopping with Maki, Inumarisaki stayed at the high school to accompany the panda who didn't want to go out. In the end, Hiiragi Eiji went to the cinema with Kizune Hisuhito and Fushiguro Megumi.
Taking into account his current status, Hiiraeiji specially chose a relatively remote theater. In this way, not only would he not be exposed to the eyes of more people, but even if a curse was attracted, he would not have to worry about affecting too many people.
So Hiiraeiji drove his car and set off with the two students.
Gin carried a black box to a secluded cemetery.
It took him almost no time to find his target.
Looking at the words on the tombstone, he raised the corners of his mouth with a cold expression.
"Uzumaki Eiji..." He really wanted to know how many other names Arrack had.
In front of the tombstone, there was a bouquet of baby's breath that had not completely withered. Gin looked at the flowers for a few times and smiled softly.
It seems that there are still people who are missing you, Arrack.
He opened the black box and revealed the contents - a red sticky substance flowed out from inside until it dyed the base of the tombstone red.
After touching the cold tombstone, the red goo stopped flowing and stayed on the tombstone like a stain.
'This is something the organization found specifically to deal with Nakahara Chuuya, a cadre of the Port Mafia. You should be familiar with it. This is a cursed item. The method of use is very simple, just pour it on the place where it will be touched in the Central Plains. Where this place is located is entirely your responsibility. '
Recalling the method of use that Belmode told him, Gin closed the box with a calm expression. Before leaving the cemetery, he took away the bouquet of gypsophila.
The delicate flower branches were overwhelmed by the rude new owner, and their roots were twisted by Gin's tightening force. Looking at the fragile appearance of the bouquet of flowers, Gin seemed to see through them. That light-haired young man.
Fragile, scarred. No matter which one, people are looking forward to it.
After Ginjiu got in the car, Vodka noticed the appalling bouquet in his hand, but he didn't dare to ask anything. Instead, he asked in a business-like manner: "Brother, where are you going next?"
Ginjiu reported a place name, which was Xiamen. The handover location for a task.
Vodka immediately started the car, and the suitcase had long since disappeared, but the bouquet of flowers was still held in Gin's hand. The strange thing is that he did not look at the appearance of the bouquet at this time, but looked at the scenery outside the window casually.
And just as the car was driving through a relatively spacious road, Gin's sight suddenly jumped into a light color that would not let him forget even if it turned to ash.
The figure was as fast as every hallucination in the past, flashing past in the dark alley.
"Stop!" Gin ordered sternly almost instantly.
Vodka and gin have been paired so many times that it was almost instinctive to hit the brakes.
Before the car had stopped, Gin had already opened the passenger door and left quickly.
And Vodka discovered that the bouquet that he was holding tightly had been left on the car. A gust of wind blew by, and the broken flowers slowly fell from the leather seat of the passenger seat.
