My neighbor is magical

I'm an old lady, so I can't give you as many replies as usual.Although he is super annoying, he is the person closest to me in that "magic" world after all, so it's impossible not to take good care of him.

Having said that, tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the entrance of Weiyuanchuan to take pictures, and I will take my daughter with me.Come with you too.

I'm sorry, but in your opinion, this invitation should be very abrupt.But I really don't want to let you get stuck in the two-point and one-line daily life of the hospital and home.

If you come out, you can catch the light.If you don't spend more time in the sun, you may rot like damp moss in the corner eh? 】

With inexplicable apprehension, Kariya slowly paced home.

For some reason, I always felt that no matter whether I invited that guy or not, I would regret it afterwards.

If the other party is really weird and perverted, then it doesn't matter to me as a magician, but Sakura will definitely be frightened.

However, since it was decided to drag this guy who was huddled in the darkness like a mushroom out of the abyss, it would be too bad to retreat before the battle.

And... maybe this guy won't go at all?

Thinking of this possibility, Kariya Matou stopped in his tracks.He slowly exhaled the stuffy air in his chest to relieve the frustration that came with this thought.

yes.How could a guy who has always been only interested in his own pain ignore his kind invitation.

The figure of the girl in a dress flashed in his mind, and Kariya couldn't help smiling.Bracing himself up, he set out on his way home again.

Then, just concentrate on accompanying Sakura.

This girl who seldom goes out and whose childhood has been lacking in fun so far is her inseparable responsibility.You must make the other person happy.

This is for the first love that has passed away, and also for the bamboo horse that I hate and love.

***

As Matou Kariya expected, the girl who had never been to the beach before gained supreme happiness during this trip.

Matou Sakura stood facing the sea.There are snow-white waves rolling gently on the calm sea, sparkling white in the bright sunlight.And in the girl's eyes, there is also a crystal light shining.

"Uncle Kariya is the best!" the girl exclaimed excitedly.In front of Matou Kariya, her shyness and restraint disappeared without a trace.

This man can be trusted!Moreover, the other party admired his mother and was a subtle close friend with his father, so he would definitely treat him very well!

The girl's undisguised emotions were completely received by Matou Kariya.He smiled contentedly, and held the girl's hand. "The attributive 'best' is applied to me, which is biased. However, I will try my best to make Sakura one of the happiest people in the world. I can guarantee this."

The thin young man led the little girl along the coastline to the distance.The golden sunlight poured down, soaking the figures of the two of them little by little.

The bright sunlight dyed everything on the beach a bright golden yellow.However, this light is powerless against the shadow cast by the ship.

The tall man standing quietly in the shadows moved forward slowly.As he walked slowly, his figure wrapped in a black uniform gradually emerged from the darkness.He was unquestionably handsome, but his youthful eyes were dull as stagnant water.

The man had been standing here for a long time, but the father and daughter, who had just been immersed in pure joy, didn't realize his existence, and walked past the other side of the ship without any notice.

At this moment, in front of the man, there were two rows of footprints, one big and one small, stretched out neatly.

The pure black man squinted his eyes as if looking into the distance.Following the two lines of footprints that stretched neatly and neatly into the distance like a poem, he saw the person he was looking for.

The young man he was looking at couldn't hide his emaciated thin body even with loose casual clothes.Unwilling to admit defeat, the opponent straightened his back, but this posture exposed the thin shoulders and neck more clearly.The youth's virtue of secretly coughing up blood behind the girl's back reminds people of a dying person lingering on his last breath.However, the young man who looked weak and miserable quickly wiped the blood from his lips with a handkerchief, and when the girl turned around and ran towards him holding the shell, she smiled and opened her eyes to greet the ignorant girl.

"What a...strange person." The man muttered to himself.

The young man's soft purple hair shone with an icy luster, and his deep purple eyes were strange and dangerous; the unique dangerous aura of a magician emanated from his distinctive appearance.But unfortunately, this person has a soft temperament that is incompatible with his appearance.

The man closed his eyes for a moment.He remembered that the other party said that he could catch the light.

Facing the bright sunlight, the man slowly stretched out his hand, and then tightened his five fingers.He saw beams of light escaping from his fingers.

Not dismayed by the foreseeable result, the man stretched his fingers towards the distance again.His beautiful palm with well-defined bones overlapped with the purple-haired youth in the distance.

The slender five fingers slowly retracted, as if strangling the slender and beautiful neck of the purple-haired youth in the palm of his hand.

The man let out a contented sigh. "If it's this person, he can definitely be caught."

5. My bamboo horse pretends to be like the wind ([-])

Although the guy he invited didn't come to the appointment, Kariya thought the trip to Mitokawa was worth it.As Matou Sakura's guardian, he dutifully gave the girl simple and joyful memories.

However, myself, did I overestimate that guy with vicious and negative thoughts?

Maybe, the other party is a rather innocent and shy person.The other person is startled by your abrupt invitation and may not even communicate with you again.

This speculation, which was definitely not groundless, caused Kariya to feel ambivalence of relief and disappointment coexisting.However, this chaotic emotion soon disappeared.

Kariya, who received a temporary photography task, went to the hospital again on weekends in order to ensure sufficient nutrient solution reserves.There, he got an astonishingly thick reply.

It feels like photo paper.Kariya speculated and opened the envelope.As he expected, lying in the envelope with the neatly folded thin letter paper was a stack of photos.

What caught my eye was myself.In the photo, I covered my lips with my hands, and seemed to be trapped in a violent cough.The pale cheeks that were originally bloodless were stained with a few traces of bright red, and the moisture in the eyes condensed into tears with the vibration of the body, overflowing the eye sockets.The fabric of the loose hoodie on the chest was grasped by myself, and the thin and weak body was exposed...

I always feel that there is something strange about being photographed.

Right now, no one is watching, but Matou Kariya feels inexplicably embarrassed by being watched.He turned the stack of photos backwards.

All are yourself.Moreover, only myself.

This guy did attend the appointment, but hid his figure in the darkness.And I thought that the invitation was ignored by the other party, but I didn't notice this aura that followed me step by step.The other party followed him along the long coastline with terrifying perseverance, casting dangerous eyes on himself in the shadows that he couldn't see.

As far as amateurs are concerned, the people who took the pictures obviously put their minds to it.But from Kariya's point of view, the other party seems to be keen to collect his own embarrassment or pain. Most of the photos recorded are his own embarrassment, such as staggering into a sandpit, and being thrown down by the happily rushing Sakura.

Matou Kariya didn't know what expression to use to look at these photos, so he could only quickly turn back the pictures that he couldn't look at directly.Fortunately, in the end, the other party seemed to be tired of his troubled appearance, so he finally changed the viewing angle.

On the last photo paper, I turned my head slightly in the direction of Sakura and smiled, with joy and focus in my eyes.The bright white sand reflects the sunlight, making my face clean and bright.

If it is a group photo, then this will probably be a very warm picture.But the person who took the picture excluded the girl Kariya was leading from the camera.

Kariya Matou had a guess.He flipped through the photos in his hand again, and then verified his guess dumbfounded.

The reason why the other party uses skewed angles and poor composition is to ensure that there is only one person in the photo.Sakura, who was clearly close at hand and had been holding hands with her, was simply and rudely abandoned by the camera.

[Because it's about you, I'm curious.

In the gap between the "normal world" and the "magical dark world", he lives firmly and hesitantly, and treats the people around him selfishly and selflessly.This contradictory creature is what I see you, Kariya Matou.

You are a creature that I cannot fully understand.And this process of getting to know you better is a pleasure for me.I want to keep learning about your past and ongoing life until I completely lose interest.

If you don't like the photos, you can throw them away.Anyway, I kept the negatives. 】

Helpless self-talk, frighteningly sharp insight and judgment, with a pure and cruel heart... This is the you I see.

Kariya complained silently.

Having said that, I... seem to be getting deeper and deeper into this vortex of coexistence with perverts.

Is it clear that I originally planned to enlighten the other party, but in the end I was forced to become a way for the other party to obtain pleasure?Moreover, I clearly only want to live an ordinary life, why even in a society of normal people, as an ordinary person, I can get perverted gazes.

However, looking back at the past, you can find that you have changed the other party more or less after all.At least, the one who seemed to be unlovable and ignorant of the world at the time
