[HP]You're my cake

4,

"Let me see the back of your neck."

Harry almost jumped up at the words

Putting his right arm defensively between Tom and him, staring warily at his current landlord

And Tom just raised his eyebrows at his gesture.

This man with black hair and black eyes has a handsome face and sharp eyes, making him play around

"Or I'll kick you out now."

“…………………………”

Biting his lower lip unwillingly, the boy's gaze would have pierced Tom's body if it had substance

"Huh?" Then raised his eyebrows

"All right…………………"

真乖

older man nodding reassuringly

Harry turned around stiffly, pushed aside a bit of his overly long black messy hair, and the nape of his neck, which wasn't covered much, was now completely exposed

A snug and surreal contraption sits on the boy's equally pale nape

Centered on a relatively flat circular protrusion with a relatively large diameter, three buttons arranged at the vertices of an equilateral triangle are closely attached to its curvature

"I've heard rumors that this thing is said to identify your characteristics, isn't it?"

"I don't know, anyway, all the "magicians" I've seen have this thing on their necks.They say it's called Harnessed. "

〈Dominated〉, or, 〈Harness〉

with their kind

deliberately imprisoned

Being malicious

experimented at will

a name unexpectedly well suited to beings like them

Tom exudes the indifference of being irrelevant. "Keep talking."

"...Mr. Riddle, do you see the three buttons on it? For the "magician", no matter which one of the three buttons is pressed, it is a terrible thing. "

With his back to Tom, Harry's face was pale and distressed that the former could not see. The boy's voice was neither too low nor very pleasant, and he just continued his narration flatly.

"However, even the 'scary' things have levels... After pressing the button in the lower right corner, the "Magician" will <suspend>, that is, you can no longer use 'magic' within 24 hours, or use it excessively If 'magic' is used, this phenomenon will also happen. "

"Oh."

"And the lower left corner........."

Harry was silent

Tom lifts his chin from the back of the hand that's propping it up, a little annoyed at the boy's silence again

So he directly stretched out his index finger, and before the boy could react, he scratched a circle on the skin on the edge of the button in his lower left corner, and then the boy avoided his finger bouncing away like an electric shock, and covered his face tightly with his hand. Yu Magic Tool turned back and stared at him, his cheeks were stained crimson because of his panic

"Your following." Tom spread his hands innocently

After glaring at the older man again, Harry didn't turn around again, but talked to the older man face to face to start the next content

"If you press... the button on the lower left corner, the device will <eject>, and the Magician will... die. "He looked away." Quickly, the whole body melted and died. "

I see----------

Tom was really surprised

"Sorry...Mr.Riddle, the look in your eyes makes me very uncomfortable..."

Tom reflected on himself

Although this brat is, indeed, undoubtedly, a fool

But it's taboo to not hide one's own

He nodded silently in his heart

"As for the button on the top, I don't know what will happen if I press it. However, there is a rumor among us "magicians" that if you press that, something more terrifying than death will happen. "

The little boy Harry, with an expression that firmly believes that what happened in the horror stories he has read is true, said seriously

"Tell me about your magic."

"Oh--------------" Harry blinked "Uh-------my magic is to bend things."

“……………………………………………”

“……………………………………………”

"that's it?"

"that's it."

cough.boy looking up to the ceiling

Tom didn't show disapproval this time, because yesterday, he had seen the power of the boy's "magic"

Although it sounds like nothing special, I am afraid that even ordinary people can do it.

But if you can control the release at a specific time, a specific place, and specific conditions, you might get huge results

Tom thought about it, and thought it would be a good choice to keep this little mouse

"To be honest, I'm the lowest level C-rank 「Magician」. "Harry continued, "In the "Institute", there are five levels of "Magicians" AAA/AA/A/B/C. The most powerful is naturally AAA level, and it is said that there are S magicians above AAA. Level... So, to be precise, I didn't escape directly from the "research institute", I escaped from the convoy that destroyed the 'inferior products'. "

There is a heavy shadow on the boy's face "The "Research Institute" will 'clean up' the lowest-level C-level every once in a while. I was lucky to be in the convoy that escorted our C-level "magician" to the processing site escaped. "

"Although it is hard to come into contact with the outside world, those of us who have been kept in the "institute" since childhood have no way to survive in the outside world..." Especially in such a cold winter

Harry looked up at Tom, and solemnly said to him

"So, thank you very much, Mr. Riddle."

"----------Thank you very much for taking me in."
