Where's my childhood sweetheart?

When the other party saw her face, his eyes widened instantly, and then he ran to her side like a gust of wind, but he hesitated after getting close.

He saw Ayou with strange eyes.

Obviously a mature and stable person, but Oda Sakunosuke was a little at a loss at the moment, he dug out a piece of candy from his pocket and squatted down.

"Hello."

He carefully handed the sugar in his hand to Ayou, feeling very lucky in his heart.

The children in the family kept him from talking to other girls when he had nothing on him. Although it was not the time to care about these things, he would feel too rude even himself if he couldn't even get a piece of candy.

"Hello?"

Ayou took the candy from the red hair who ran over, and looked at the red hair suspiciously.She searched the memory in her mind, wondering if she had seen him.

"May I have the honor to know your name?"

Hongmao said quite solemn words, which made Ayou couldn't help but bend his eyes.

"My name is Qi Muyou."

She looked at the squatting young man with some doubts in her tone.

"Do you know anyone who looks like me?"

The light in Oda Sakunosuke's eyes dimmed, but he quickly recovered his mood and chatted with the little girl in front of him.

"Yes, it's better to say that they are very similar."

The girl who saved his adopted child and saved his life, finally died alone with a smile in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Quyou, like Edogawa Ranpo, was looked after by Fukuzawa Yukichi, one of the first three members of the Armed Detective Agency, the girl who always wanted to die but succeeded in the end.

Obviously only a few months have passed, but in Oda Sakunosuke's heart, it seems that it happened just yesterday.The little girl who said goodbye to him with a smile showed a happy smile when he and Dazai arrived.

Then, she passed away forever.

They buried her with their own hands, it is impossible for her to be alive, and her age is not right, so...

It shouldn't be her, but he didn't know how to deal with the little girl who looked so much the same in front of him.

Everything has changed since a few months ago.

He and the children woke up one day to find that they had all been thrown out of Yokohama.Since then, as long as he wanted to return to Yokohama or deliver some news to the Armed Detective Agency or Dazai, there was always a voice in his heart telling him.

If you did, you and your five adopted children would die instantly.

He can't take the initiative to intervene in Yokohama's affairs.

He had also inquired about today's Yokohama, but the news he got made him horrified.

Yokohama has completely lost the existence of 'Quyou', not the kind of disappearance brought about by death, but her 'existence' has been completely obliterated.

The original members of the Armed Detective Agency became Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo. Nakahara Nakahara was not a member of the Armed Detective Agency but became a cadre of the Port Mafia. Although Osamu Dazai still left the Mafia, where he is now Unknown, but Oda Sakunosuke is not expected to be much better.

What kind of power is this to do such a terrifying thing?All traces of a person's existence are forcibly erased, and the memory of all people is completely gone from the existence of this person, and false memories are filled in.No one can even find out, not even Edogawa Ranpo.

Why is he an exception?

Oda Sakunosuke has thought about this question many times, but he still has no clue.

Thinking of this, Oda Sakunosuke's eyes couldn't help but feel a little dull. At this moment, Ayou's voice sounded.

"It does not matter."

She looked at the slightly gloomy young man in front of her with a soft voice.

"It's okay to treat me as her. Do you want to say something to her?"

She remembered who the red hair was!Isn't this the killer Oda Sakunosuke who bought and killed himself in the Yokohama crew!

Although the other party later washed his hands and stopped accepting orders and adopted five orphans, this vicissitudes of life must be right!

Ayou glanced at Oda Sakunosuke calmly, and began to think deeply.

She yelled the word 'Ayou' at the other party and her back, and the other party reckoned that it was definitely Oda Sakunosuke from the world she had been to before!The question is whether he alone has the memory or the whole Yokohama has the memory, if it is true that the whole Yokohama has it...

Then she will definitely walk around Yokohama in the future!absolute!

Anyway, although she has memories, she has no emotions, so it is only natural that she has no nostalgia.She is only curious about those things now, but so what?How can the audience in the theater empathize with the characters in the movie?

Thinking of this, Ayou looked at Oda Sakunosuke with softer eyes.

The ready-made ones are here, be sure to set up some information to try!

The faintly invisible indigo mist dissipated in the air, and Ayu seductively spoke to Oda Sakunosuke in front of him.

"Will it be better to say something to me who is like her?"

Oda Sakunosuke was obviously stunned for a moment, he looked at the little girl who looked only eight or nine years old but was serious about explaining himself, and he laughed a little.

Even the gentle place is very similar, so Oda Sakunosuke even had an illusion.

This Qi Muyou is Qu You's illusion.

But how is this possible?

He put his hand on Ayou's head and rubbed it gently.

The psychology of wanting to confide had the upper hand, or rather because of Ayu's appearance, Oda Sakunosuke's mind was relaxed a bit, and it was only the induction of illusion that prevented him from discovering this subtle anomaly.

"That's a lovely little girl, too."

Oda Sakunosuke's pupils darkened a little, as if he was caught in memory.

"We first met at work, and she was only your age at that time."

"How old am I?"

She remembered that she placed an order to kill herself, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her work.

"Well, she's my employer."

I didn't go any further on this issue. After all, what the other party hired me to do was murder. Although it was to kill herself, it was not suitable for children to listen to.

Oda Sakunosuke paused for a moment, and continued to tell the story.

"We met because of work, and we kept in touch afterwards, and then I changed careers for some reasons."

Ayou nodded.

"Well, I changed careers."

She remembered that it was because the other party read the book given by Uncle Natsume as if he had been brainwashed and changed his mind and started a new life. He directly said that he would never kill again, so this famous killer directly changed his career to become a mafia boy.

"Then I worked as a support staff in a company."

Ayu then nodded.

"Well, logistics."

She remembered that she should be a low-level logistician of the Port Mafia, specializing in mediating neighborhood disputes among Port Mafia members.From cleaning up the corpses after the war, to persuading the relationship between the wives and mistresses of Hong Kong black members.

"Later she rescued me when I was in danger, and I jumped to her company."

Ayou still nodded.

"Well, job hopping."

She remembered that when the other party heard that the children were still alive, she was so happy that she couldn't find Bei (no), so she told Fukuzawa Yukichi on the spot that she would change jobs to the Armed Detective Agency.

"And then she..."

Speaking of this, Sakunosuke Oda paused for a moment, feeling that talking about death was not good for the children's physical and mental health, so he thought for a while before opening his mouth cautiously.

"Then she went to a place far away."

Ayou nodded numbly, like a nodding machine that only nodded without emotion.

"Well, far away."

It's so far away, it's so far away that the dog can take it to another world.

It has to be said that Sakunosuke Oda's ability to tell stories has not improved at all, and a series of words he said are dry, plain and tasteless than plain water.

If Ayou didn't know the inside story, she would definitely be lured to remote places like [Bai Fumei hires a young red-haired man, and the two like to mention a boat of friendship] [Bai Fumei saves a hero and likes to mention a red-haired social animal] place.

"Have you anything to say to her?"

Ayou tilted her head, and looked at Oda Sakunosuke seriously.

After all, she was still a little curious.

"I……"

Oda Sakunosuke opened his mouth, but after only one word, his voice fell silent.He stared at Ayou, but he was looking at another person through her.

Obviously, the death that the child had been expecting for a long time had finally come true. As a friend, he should be happy for her, but in his heart there was only guilt and sadness.

And deep self-blame.

She died to save him.

How can a person's life come to an end when he is only a teenager?So the most likely truth is because—she can be said to have 'resurrected' herself.

Because he clearly knew that although it was only a momentary feeling, he was indeed 'dead' at that time.

Oda Sakunosuke collected himself, looked at Ayou, and spoke seriously.

"I'm living a good life now."

As if thinking of something, his expression softened.

"Xingsuke has been saying recently that he wants to be a detective in the future. Shinji and Yu seem to be a little distressed about their English grades. Katsumi also likes detective novels recently. Saku Le cherishes the dress you bought for her."

Obviously the girl in front of him was not that child, but Oda Sakunosuke couldn't tell the difference for some reason.

He began to have such thoughts again.

so similar.

No matter the well-behaved appearance or the tenderness in the eyes, they are exactly the same as that child.

His gaze was a little absent-minded, but he quickly realized it.

"We're all fine."

After saying this sentence, Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have finished what he wanted to say, and he raised his hand to stroke Ayou's hair, and then thanked her.

"Thank you for listening to me, Miss Qimu."

In fact, there was one last sentence, but he wanted to leave it to that child.Although she is no longer there, he wants to wait until after death, until his soul meets that child again, and then say the last sentence from the bottom of his heart.

'thanks. '

"It's nothing, this is also a rare experience."

It's the original Oda, since that's the case, don't touch it in the future, your storytelling ability is too bad (no).And it seems that Yokohama will never be able to go to Yokohama in this life. Although she thinks that she has nothing to do with her in the past, but if she can't keep it, she can't help but recognize it?

She didn't want to encounter any obstacles in her suicide path. (Indifference.jpg)

Although she thought so in her heart, Ayou didn't show any flaws on her face. She looked at Oda Sakunosuke's blue eyes and winked at him.

"It's also rare for me to hear the life experience of a strange 'uncle'."

Oda Sakunosuke:? ? ?

The hand touching Ayu's head stopped suddenly, and Oda Sakunosuke fell into a rare daze.

He is only in his 20s!Why do you call yourself... Uncle?

Just when he was lost in thought, a piece of something flew towards him. The supernatural ability [Heaven/Clothes Seamless] accurately predicted the future. Oda Sakunosuke picked up Ayou and rolled over to avoid the unknown object.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at an object flying over, and saw that it was just a small square that looked only half the size of a palm, but he didn't dare to underestimate this seemingly simple 'square'.

Because this block is the one that triggered his [Heaven/Clothes Seamless]!He clearly saw that if he didn't avoid it, he would be shot into a sieve by the laser from this 'block'!

At this time, the voice of the culprit who threw such a murder weapon was gnashing his teeth.

"The malicious 'middle-aged uncle' over there, can you let 'my' sister go?"

Oda Sakunosuke thought about looking to the left, and saw a blond-haired boy standing not far away with a smile. Although he seemed to have nothing in his hand, Oda Sakunosuke felt the danger.

This boy... is not simple.

But... sister?

At this time, the voice of the little girl in his arms gave him the answer.

"Big brother!"

What a brother and sister!

"Don't be afraid of my sister."

Saiki Kongsuke opened his eyes, and he stared closely at Oda Sakunosuke who was still holding Ayou tightly, with a very serious voice.

"Brother, let's get rid of this malicious uncle!"

Oda Harmful Uncle Sakunosuke: ? ? ?

"No, this uncle is a good man!"

Ayou patted Oda Sakunosuke and held her hand, and the other party put her down.She hurried to her elder brother's side and grabbed his arm.

"He's really a good guy, and he's just passing by."

"Is that so?"

Saiki Kongsuke withdrew his hand that was about to take something out of his pocket. He held Ayu with one hand, and then looked at Oda Sakunosuke on the other side with a smile.

"Oh, I misunderstood you, uncle."

Although the words seemed to be an apology, Oda Sakunosuke clearly felt that the other party did not apologize at all, and it might even be a pity.

But what can he do?Can he still beat up the brat?

In the end, Oda Sakunosuke just took a deep look at Saiki Sorasuke.

"It's ok……"

"That's all right."

No longer caring about Oda Sakunosuke, Saiki Kongsuke led Ayu and started walking back.Ayouzhi had time to wave with Oda Sakunosuke before he was taken away by Saiki Kongsuke, who warned Ayou while walking.

"Sister, let me tell you that the men outside now have bad intentions, and some people will put on an honest and honest face to deceive a cute little girl like you..."

Ayou nodded her head.

"Well, I see, I won't talk to him in the future."

After all, she didn't want to get involved with those Tianxiu crews in Yokohama.

Oda · hearing and eyesight · Sakunosuke: "..."

He stroked his stubble, lost in thought.

Do you really look like a malicious person?

……

……

After separating from Ayou, Natsume Takashi couldn't calm down.Whether it was the other party's idea of ​​suicide or the curse mark on his arm, he couldn't help but think about it.

"teacher."

Natsume Takashi brought the watermelon into the room, and then handed it to Mr. Cat, who was lying on the mat.

"Why did you stop me?"

"Well, do you think you can convince that little girl?"

Holding a piece of watermelon and taking a bite, Mr. Cat glanced at Takashi Natsume.

"Isn't it great to have an ideal that you have been striving for at a young age?"

"But it's not right."

Natsume Takashi frowned.

"This is not an ordinary ideal."

"so what?"

At this time, Mr. Cat, who had already eaten a piece of watermelon quickly, was stretching his claws towards another piece of watermelon, and replied casually.

"Your human life is so short, and it may disappear after just getting sick or some accident, so why can't you pursue death?"

"It's not about the length of life!"

Natsume Takashi suddenly exploded, he took a deep breath and muttered.

"But death..."

As if he didn't know how to describe it, Natsume Takashi paused for a while before continuing.

"If her life is really like what she said, how can a young child think about death?"

"She didn't lie."

Under Natsume Takashi's surprised eyes, Mr. Cat took another bite of the watermelon, the light red juice flowed down the corner of his mouth, and he raised his paw to wipe it down again.

"Even monsters have races that spend their whole lives looking for places of death. There are so many of you humans, isn't it normal for a few different species to appear?"

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Teacher, what you said is so reasonable that I can't even refute it...

"Forget it, let's talk about something else first."

Sighing, Natsume Takashi's expression turned serious.

"I still feel that something is wrong with that curse mark, and teacher, you also said that it is a curse of a monster. I am sure I have never seen that mark on her arm before."

Teacher Cat put the finished watermelon rind back on the plate, then returned to the mat, turned around and then lay down.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Natsume Takashi pondered for a moment, then looked down at Mr. Cat.

"I remember... C is familiar with the curse seal, right?"

"Are you still going to help that child get rid of the curse mark?"

"Yes. I always feel... that child shouldn't just die like this."

Natsume Takashi took a deep breath, and he looked out the window.At this time, the sun had been covered by clouds, but there were still a few strands of golden light pouring down from the sky, and the world was clearly and brightly reflected in his eyes.

"So this time I will stop, but if there is a next time..."

Natsume Takashi began to clenched his hands. He lowered his head to look at the cat teacher whose eyes had never changed on the mat. His expression was as gentle as ever, but there was a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.

"I will respect her choice."

Respect everyone's thoughtful, heartfelt choice, even if that choice makes people feel inexplicably sad just thinking about it.

Of course

you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish?

……

……

At this point, it was the second day.Ayou, who was evaluated as not supposed to die, looked at the dilapidated playground in front of her, and felt that her chance to die had come.

I saw this playground that Saiki Kurumi liked very much when she was a child. Now the old sign at the entrance has lost several layers of paint, and after walking in, no matter which amusement facilities it is, it looks like it is aging. On the spot.

Ayou swears!She just saw a screw fall from the roller coaster with her own eyes! ! !

With this level of safety, it is really amazing that this playground can be opened until now!

However, Ayou doesn't know what other people think. Ayou's mind is already occupied by this seemingly very dangerous ride.

Such an old amusement facility, even if there is an accident...

Just when Ayou's heart was about to move, Saiki Kusuo's voice suddenly resounded in her brain.

'No surprises. '

Ayou: "..."

Turning her head silently, Ayou stared at Saiki Kusuo without saying a word.

However, Saiki Kusuo's voice remained unchanged.

'Give up, with me here, it's impossible for this playground to have an accident. '

Ayou silently turned her head back.

All right, all right, nb, whatever you say is right.

Just when Ayou thought that he could go on a harmonious playground trip without committing suicide, Saiki Kusuo and Saiki Kongsuke stood in front of the roller coaster and stopped moving next to Ayou. The two were having a fierce dialogue in their hearts. .

'Kusuo, don't you think you should go to the back? '

Saiki Kongsuke looked at Saiki Kusuo with a smile, and he didn't intend to let go of the hand blocking the entrance.

'No, it should be you who should go behind. '

Looking at Kongsuke Saiki blankly, Kusuo Saiki only felt that his hands were itchy and wanted to do it directly.

Seeing that Saiki Kusuo raised his hand and was about to forcibly break Saiki Kongsuke's arm, this is, Saiki Kongsuke opened his mouth to Saiki's grandpa with a smile.

"Grandpa, Kusuo said he misses grandpa after not seeing him for so long, so he wants to sit by your side."

Saiki Kusuo: Despicable!Saiki Kongsuke!

Grandpa Qi Mu:! ! !

grandson!The grandson said he missed himself! !Want to sit next to me! ! !

Grandpa Saiki became energetic immediately, and he looked at Kusuo Saiki, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

However, his mouth...

"Hmph, sure enough, children, you are afraid of even a roller coaster."

So I need an adult like me to give my grandson a warm embrace!Although I want my granddaughter more, my grandson is fine too!

Thinking this way, just as Grandpa Saiki was about to speak, Saiki Kusuo's voice sounded again.

'Obviously Sorasuke wanted to sit with grandpa, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he mentioned me. '

Saiki Sorasuke: Despicable!Saiki Kusuo!

Grandpa Qi Mu:! ! ! ! !

It turns out that the eldest grandson is embarrassed to say!Would rather sit outside with me than ride the roller coaster!He is so touched!

Seeing the two people next to the seat staring at each other in a stalemate, Ayou stood up and walked down the aisle with a bewildered expression.Seeing the two people turn their heads to look at her, Ayou waved her hands.

"You two sit together, I'll go down to accompany grandpa."

If you don't want to sit with other people, just say it. Didn't you see that the young lady couldn't help but come over to 'persuade' you?

Ayou walked down with a relaxed face, and when she reached Grandpa Qi Mu, she waved to the two brothers next to the roller coaster, letting them play to their heart's content.

Saiki Kongsuke: "..."

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

So what are they fighting for so long?

The Qi Mu brothers who got off the roller coaster had a bad expression on their faces. They thought that they might have passed out on the roller coaster, so Ayou gave them the water in their hands.

However, when the two reached out their hands, they held the same bottle of water.After the two looked at each other, neither of them let go.

Ayou: "..."

I said what's the matter, it turned out that I was losing my temper again.

Ayou, who was very used to the quarrel between the two, let go of the hand holding the water expressionlessly, then turned around and walked back to Grandpa Qi Mu.

Let's make a fuss, anyway, it's fine to make a fuss for a while, after all, it's not a day or two that they don't like each other.

In the corner where no one could see, Ayou looked at a reddish 'shadow' in the shadow of the right corner of the wall.

This 'Hongying' is very abnormal. When I went out in the morning, I saw the 'Hongying' standing upright not far from the door of the house. Now it has followed me to the amusement park.

The 'curse seal' on the arm that ordinary people can't see has now doubled in size, and Ayou looked at the bright red curse in meditation.

Could it be that monster?

'Which monster? '

Saiki Kusuo's voice sounded in Ayou's mind, and Ayou would go too far, and saw Saiki Kusuo who had successfully defeated Saiki Kongsuke by guessing fist and enjoyed the fruits of victory, looking at her upright.

Ayou tilted her head very naturally, gestured to the corner of the wall with her eyes, and replied in her heart.

'There is a monster with a red body over there. '

'Oh……'

Knowing that he couldn't see youkai and didn't want to see youkai, Saiki Kusuo turned his head and didn't pay attention.

After all, as far as the monsters he has seen are really weak, even Sorasuke can't beat them, so he doesn't worry about his sister at all.

However, at this time, Saiki Kusuo didn't know how much harm it would be if he took the initiative to bump into the evil monster.

……

……

The night after the trip to the amusement park, Ayou fell ill.

This is really a strange thing, because it can be said that Ayou has never been sick at all since she grew up so old, and the cause of the disease this time can also be said to be inexplicable.

"I said, it's not a big deal, brother, you don't have to go around like this."

There was a fever-reducing patch on her forehead, but Ayou, who had a low fever, looked helplessly at Saiki Kongsuke who was turning around in front of her.

"How can this work!"

Saiki Kongsuke secretly blamed himself.When I went to the amusement park, I didn’t pay attention to whether my sister caught a cold. My brother failed OTZ

"Do not worry."

Holding the water glass, Ayou glanced at Saiki Kusuo who was sitting on the other side and glanced at her from time to time.

"It's just a low-grade fever. Get some sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow morning."

"Then sister, go to sleep quickly."

Qi Mu Kongsuke bent down to look at Ayou's reddish cheeks due to fever, he touched them with his hands, and then compared his own.

Still feel hot.

Thinking of this, Qi Mukong helped to make a firm conclusion.

"sleep early."

In this way, Ayou was pushed into the room by Qi Mukongsuke. After rejecting Qimu Kongsuke's idea of ​​wanting to accompany him again, Ayou reluctantly closed the sliding door.She turned around, and the 'things' that ordinary people couldn't see were reflected in the pupils of the color matching.

It was a red shadow, and it had been with her since morning.The original light red color of the shadow deepened, and she could feel that the opponent was absorbing her vitality through the curse seal, and the closer she was, the faster the absorption.

In order not to let Saiki Kusuo's mind-reading find out, these thoughts of Ayou are just a vague concept, and when she finds that she will think of them, she will forcefully divert her thoughts.

She has this concept, knows what she should do, and can put it into action, but she is thinking about the exact opposite.Just like the matter of blinding the system slate in the K world, this method is also very useful for Qi Mukusuo's mind reading.

Ayou lay silently on the laid quilt, her eyes wandered blankly, and then stopped at the red shadow standing beside her, absorbing her vitality.

She could feel that the other party was absorbing her vitality faster and faster, and in an instant, various formulas in Ayou's mind were quickly calculated.

Well, if it comes down at this speed, it will probably take tomorrow afternoon for me to be sucked/dried by it.

The efficiency of this monster is quite good. It only takes three days to suck/fuck a person in three days. It seems that tomorrow is a great day to realize your dreams!

Pulling up the quilt, Ayou huddled under the quilt.She slowly closed her eyes expectantly.

Hope nothing unexpected happens...

However, the accident still appeared. _(:з」∠)_

It was still morning outside at this time, and the golden sun just hung in the sky, emitting a scorching light.The existence of the wind seems to have disappeared, and there is a stuffy feeling in the air.

Natsume Takashi was standing in front of the door with the sign saying [Sai Mu] at the moment, with a chubby cat lying on his shoulder, with a hesitant yet firm expression.

However, before he pressed the doorbell, the door in the courtyard was opened from the inside.The person who opened the door had pink hair with a strange hairpin on it, and the other party walked to the door expressionlessly and opened it.

'Come in and talk. '

Natsume Takashi:? ? ?

etc?We don't know each other!Why did you let me in? ? ?

The very confused Natsume Takashi followed Saiki Kusuo into the house in a daze.It wasn't until he was already sitting in the room with a drink in front of him that he suddenly realized.

He wanted to ask if Qi Muyou was from this family!

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the boy with pink hair sitting opposite him spoke first.

'I am Saiki Kusuo, and Saiki Yuzu is my younger sister. '

Saiki Kusuo glanced at Mr. Kitty, who had been sniffing several times since entering the room, and then turned his gaze to Natsume Takashi.

'Can you tell me what happened?Although I can't see the monster or something, I still know it. '

"This……"

Natsume Takashi was stunned by the boy's eyes that seemed to know everything. He hesitated for a while before deciding to ask the little girl for advice.

After all, who knew if her family knew about her suicidal thoughts?

As if knowing what he was thinking, the boy opposite spoke.

'I know my sister has been committing suicide. '

The other party frowned slightly when he said this.

'She was sick yesterday, it was very inexplicable, and you came... so it was a monster?what is the reason? '

Listening to the other party's question, Natsume Takashi involuntarily remembered that he asked B about the curse seal.However, before he could speak, he saw that the expression of Saiki Kusuo, who was originally expressionless, became particularly serious.

He stood up and opened the sliding door and walked towards the outside. Just as Natsume Takashi was hesitating whether to follow, Mr. Cat patted his head with his paw.

"This human is not simple, be careful."

"not simple?"

Natsume Takashi followed with doubts in his heart. He saw Saiki Kusuo walking into the yard, then raised his hand and took off the hairpin on the left.Immediately, an indescribable feeling filled Natsume Takashi's heart, and even Mr. Cat on his shoulder started to shudder a little.

Without paying attention to Natsume Takashi behind him, Saiki Kusuo just concentrated his energy and quickly searched for the trace of Ayu.

He felt something was wrong when the other party said that he was going out early this morning, but he didn't follow because of the forest and the bugs. Now it seems...

"Ah."

Saiki Kusuo, whose superpower spread to the entire town and forest, let out a sneer expressionlessly.

Half a minute later, Saiki Kusuo confirmed his position.

In the forest, under a big tree, Ayou was quietly leaning against the tree with her eyes closed.

At this moment, Saiki Kusuo, who didn't care about exposing his superpowers, teleported to Ayu's side with Natsume Takashi. He looked at Natsume Takashi with a confused face, and there was a hint of eagerness in his voice.

"What needs to be done?"

Awakened by Saiki Kusuo's voice, Natsume Takashi looked at the girl in Saiki Kusuo's arms.There was a shadow standing beside her, the color of that shadow was almost bright red, Natsume Takashi couldn't help shrinking his pupils.

C has said that if the color turns completely bright red, it is the time of death of the cursed person.However, if the shadow is destroyed before then, the vitality that was originally taken away will be returned.

Not caring too much, Natsume Takashi quickly took out the scroll that C handed him from his bag, and he recited the words in the scroll, and the scroll began to emit light invisible to ordinary people.

And Ayou, who has not been sucked/dried by the shadow, opened her eyes dimly, seeing her second brother who was holding her and Natsume Takashi who was holding an unknown scroll, suddenly sat up in a dying sickness, and felt that it was a day. The dog is gone.

Damn Takashi Natsume, why is he here?Why did they still get together?Wait, Natsume, what are you doing?

"Wait... umm!"

Just as Ayu was about to speak to stop Natsume Takashi, Saiki Kusuo who was beside him covered Ayu's mouth with a very bad expression.

Ayou:? ? ?

Fuck, second brother, can you do whatever you want just because you have super powers?

Saiki Kusuo: Sorry, having superpowers means being able to do whatever you want, especially when it comes to finding you.

Saiki Kusuo's super power firmly suppressed Ayou, Natsume Takashi quickly finished chanting the spell, he let go, and the scroll automatically flew to the red shadow.

It's obviously just a thin paper scroll, but at this moment, it's like a tough rope tightly strangling the red shadow.It gradually tightened, and the red shadow frantically struggled, but it was useless.

After a while, the red shadow gradually became transparent.Natsume Takashi clearly saw that the red curse mark on Ayou's arm gradually disappeared, and his complexion became rosy.

Successful.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but Natsume Takashi's heart rose again the next moment.

The little girl who was imprisoned in her brother's arms lowered her head and didn't make a sound. She just stared blankly at the red curse mark that gradually disappeared on her arm.

However, Natsume Takashi clearly saw that a transparent liquid dripped on the disappeared curse seal.

He realized.

The child is crying.

It was silent without a sound, so quiet that no one could detect her emotions.

Natsume Takashi suddenly became dazed, and even felt a bit of sourness in his heart intermittently?

What he did...was it really right?

He looked at Saiki Kusuo who was holding the girl's head in his arms, and at the girl who was still silent, and couldn't help lowering his eyes.

Right for them.

It was wrong for her.

"Sorry……"

Natsume Takashi came to the side of the silently crying girl, he pursed his lips, and his voice was low.

"sorry."

The girl remained motionless, but her hands were tightly clutching Saiki Kusuo's shirt, and her fingertips turned white due to the force.

Natsume Takashi didn't know what to do for a while, but fortunately Saiki Kusuo's voice made him react.

'I amplified her emotions and she needed to vent. '

Saiki Kusuo One Hand Ann
