Cupid

In a desperate situation, you cast a spell that kills one thousand enemies and harms yourself eight hundred.

In the blood turned into fine needles, the strong poison stopped the offensive of the curse spirit.

However, unlike the "blood wine" in a wooden box, drawing a certain amount of blood from a weak "dead body" will cause you trauma and pain, which is no different from tearing off a piece of flesh and blood without anesthesia.

The effects of blood loss prevent your eyes from focusing well.

Everything in the field of vision was wet with bitter tears, covered with grotesque mosaics, and became distorted and unstable.

They are strands of black, lumps of white and gray, flashes of blue and purple, and motionless red.

The location of the spiritual core is painful.

The injured body was as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

【unacceptable. 】

The fight that just happened was so brutal, if Kei hadn't been thrown into the den of the curse, you would have hugged your head, screamed and hid in the shadows.

In the nightmare that stinks of formalin, only the bright red in front of him is exuding warmth.The indescribable temptation drives you to mobilize your stiff arms, weeping and embracing the only source of warmth.

[It's so uncomfortable, my mind has become a mess again. 】

Inserting the beautiful red ball with your fingertips, you tightly closed your tearful eyes, trying to escape the pain in your body with a hug.

"It" let out a silent scream.Red is wriggling, red is trembling.

Soon "it" also melted, and "it" became soft like clay in your arms, dripping like fine wine, and warm like the spring breeze in March.

The bright and moist "wind" gives you a short hug, and then blows your body into the pale and dry "wooden box".

Your sobbing gradually died down.

In the deadly room again, the sweetness of the wine had already overwhelmed the smell of chemical reagents.

Blocking the doors and windows, the hairnet disappeared without a trace, and the bright moonlight was able to shine into the messy room again, clearly illuminating the blood-stained clothes, the hair cut short by nails, and the scar left by the flayer on the chest— —

The wound on the little finger looked like a tiny centipede, slightly raised, twisted and ugly.

Since the dark nails, there are new places that have become ugly.

...this is a frustrating new discovery.

But now is clearly not the time to be sentimental.

"I hope Hui is okay."

Hope no one sees either.

Withdrew your fingers stroking the scar, you shook your neck to get rid of excess thoughts, tightened your open neckline again, and ran out of the ward.

There are still a few scattered footprints scattered on the dusty corridor, overlapping and chaotic.

You guessed that it might be the trace left when Fu Heihui was swept away by the black hair, so you followed the footprints all the way to find it.

Thanks to that lovable and delicate face, the curse formed by female resentment has relatively weak killing intent on Kei.

"It" regarded him as a dessert after killing you, and threw it directly at the curse spirits in other realms.

Although there are many secondary curses in the hospital, they will not directly threaten Hui's life.

At the gate of the hospital, you see Yujin Yuzhang standing under the street lamp with his pocket in his pocket.

Different from the brisk and energetic expression on weekdays, you rarely find a "dazed" expression on that young face.

He doesn't know if he just came here, or if he has been standing there for a long time, he looks at you with clear eyes as if standing in an unspeakable dream, silent for a long time.

Only then did the knotweed smile at you and said, "It's very late, I don't think you guys are back yet, so come and have a look."

"Thank you, would you like something sweet?"

It's as if you and him are still in that warm family restaurant. When you change clothes, the boy will sit obediently on the steps of the door, and then use the change he earned from part-time work to take you to eat the popular restaurant among classmates. dessert shop.

After seeing your curse removal posture, he should not care about you anymore...

Knotweed Youruhito came here for Fu Heihui, who had a life-and-death acquaintance.

The one who will call your name is the two-faced Su Nuo.

"It's too slow, how long will you keep me waiting?"

A familiar voice came from the boy's cheek, slightly dispelling the coldness brought about by the desperate struggle against the curse.

Before you take your "body" out of Huiying, Su Nuo will not sit idly by in case of your possible death.

Like a night moth circling around the milky white light, you who were hesitant before walked towards Su Nuo under the light.

……

This is the first sentence that Su Nuo has spoken to you in the past three days.

To be honest, you have always been unsure about Su Nuo's ever-changing thoughts based on mood swings.

This man was once dissatisfied with your behavior of almost losing your life for Xia Youjie, and told you to express yourself in order to gain his hobbies when he was "weak".

It also gave you a little bit of a good look when you took out the end of the forest that you had leveled in the past and worked hard.

Facing Gojo Satoru's sarcasm of "You king of rice", he can still reply in a disdainful tone, "Is there anything wrong with my woman collecting magic power for me?".

But after you feel that you have regained your sense of touch, you can further challenge high-level spell spirits, and start to fail in missions repeatedly, Su Nuo, who was originally on the sidelines, inevitably became gloomy.

The "walk" a hundred years ago was initiated by him, and you are his private property. In his heyday, he could easily isolate those unnecessary losses.

He just takes you "for fun" because he thinks it's fun.

But now?

A scraped cheek, a bleeding arm, or a broken fingertip.

Everything bored him from the bottom of his heart.

At first, he could point out your redundant movements when attacking unhappily, trying to use the body of the knotweed to do something, but after realizing that this container is just a beginner in spell power and completely useless, Su Nuo simply gave up on you completely. :

"Look at you now, who is the prey?"

"...What a weak woman."

There was a bit of gnashing of teeth in Su Nuo's words.

"Isn't it good to give up early? The kid who has been raised for ten years must come in handy."

The dissatisfaction with you even extended to Fu Heihui, who was your partner.

He is angry, you are wronged.

How strange, as the evil god who asked you to give up your uneasiness a hundred years ago, shouldn't he like this kind of "dedicated to death" show of love?

Protect him, this is your agreement with him.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I will work harder to become stronger."

The sincere apology had the opposite effect. The superior man threw you out of the field without blinking an eye, and he didn't take the initiative to speak for the next few days.

Until tonight there was no room for relaxation.

It may be that the result of independently killing the quasi-level curse has finally been recognized by Su Nuo.Or Wujo Satoru, who always likes to choke on him, just happened to be arranged by his superiors on a business trip, and you think he was in a calm mood when he came here with Knotweed tonight.

It just so happens that you have also achieved the achievement of exorcising high-level curse spirits, so you finally have a reason to meet him.

However, he just sat in the birth zone and hugged you in a daze, put his palm on your soft belly, and silently listened to your story of the bloody battle with the curse spirit, and had no interest in praising you at all.

Su Nuo even glanced at you coolly when he heard you happily talk about the potential for life-and-death outbreaks.

You shut up.

There was another unbearable silence.

It turns out that Su Nuo's body is too different from your body shape and you are not familiar with it. Now that he has borrowed the shell of Knotweed Youren, you realize that these two men like to hold you in their arms and talk to you.

The assumption that the house is full of nitrous has been lingering in your mind.

The husband who made a bond with you in the past is very affectionate with you, and possesses the possessiveness that would make you feel awkward even if you look at others.

By analogy, how could such an arrogant man like Su Nuo allow himself to make out with you with someone else's face?

Does he just not care about you?

Or did he also feel that this body resembled his own?

When they met for the first time, the hundred-year-old cursed king maintained his body in his prime, and his 30-[-]-year-old face was mature and handsome, exuding an inviolable aura because of his haughty expression.

When you are doing handicrafts, you have a lot of artistic cells and inspiration, but you are not good at the shape of the human body, and you really can't imagine what he looked like when he was a teenager.

——But the bone phase should remain the same, right?

Now that look of pensively lowering his eyes is so precious and charming, you can't help but reach out and touch the face of "Su Nuo".

He was a little impatient at being touched, and stared at you with scarlet eyes: "What are you thinking?"

At this time, it is time to say some sweet words to your husband.It's like sharing the rest of my life is still not enough, I want to meet you earlier, hold those young pasts in my arms, and express my heart:

"I was thinking, what if the person I met in my lifetime was you?"

"Were you like this when you were young?"

If you pour out your nostalgic feelings, you take the initiative to move closer to his arms.

But he seemed to have heard an unbelievable joke, narrowing his red eyes and letting out a sneer:

"While alive?"

"You should be glad that you met me as a curse spirit. Otherwise, you would be eaten by me directly... After all, I have a way to detain your soul."

"The meat of the curse spirit is not so delicious, and it will be gone after eating."

But because of this Arabian Nights imagination, he is at least willing to meet your eyes.

"No more..."

The man-eating ghost casually picked up the long hair on the side of your neck. He held the back of your neck with one hand, lowered his head and kissed your pale neck, and sighed regretfully.

"No, don't... I don't eat well."

Thinking that he always likes to leave some tooth marks on your body with his sharp teeth from time to time, you can't help but make a small protest pitifully.

If it was you a hundred years ago, you would run away.

But Su Nuo is no longer the "god" you have to pray to for mercy. If you look at him from the perspective of setting up a "husband"——

Huddled and trying to protect your neck, you tried to stop the trembling, and began to think about the words you wanted to tell him today.

Just like you who were locked in a small cage at the beginning——

"Are you hungry?"

Collect all the "bait" you can get in a wooden box, and after leaving the materials that need to unseal Su Nuo's torso, the rest is for you to feed your hunger.

You finally got high-grade ingredients, and it just so happens that he is willing to pay attention to you.

So in this way, the rations saved by Kuai Soso were turned into the best wine, and sent to Su Nuo's lips.

"I did this... It's not much, but it's all I have. I hope it pleases you."

In the past "married life", you gave up the practice of strengthening yourself with mantras, and turned them into firewood to sustain life, distributed them to the "husband" you picked up, and lived briefly in a hut isolated from the world. share warmth and love.

It's always been that way.

Habitually exchange the best things you have for his "love".

It's not too much of a problem to endure a little hunger and pain.

"...so boring, you."

That bored tone reappeared in Su Nuo's mouth.

He took your gift casually, drank the wine in one gulp, but slipped his other hand from his neck to the back of his head, and kissed you with a little force.

The wooden box rolled down the bone mountain with a gurgling gurgling, and the wine and mantra were unceremoniously returned to you by Su Nuo.

The man pressed you down, as if he was going to eat you, and kissed your chest from top to bottom, and you felt that he was angry again.

But then his was very warm.

Burying your fingers in your hair and wrapping your arms around his neck, you ask for his "love".

……

You poured all the remaining "chewing wine" into the dark shadow world to corrode the seal of the ten shadows method.

Thanks to your persistent efforts, only a small half of the arm could be drilled out before, but now the elbow has been exposed, but there is still a small distance from the shoulder.

Maybe after killing a special-level curse spirit, some breakthroughs can be made.

However, your strength lies there. In order to realize the wish in your heart as soon as possible, you will pour out the magic power to the maximum every time, and even the little magic power given to you by Su Nuo will be returned to his body intact by you.

After doing all of this, you sat on the spot prostrated, too tired to move your fingers, and subconsciously lifted the cover from your body.

You show your achievements to Su Nuo, and your scars to "it"——

It's waxy white skin, black and blue fingertips, and wounds that are struggling to heal after being drained of blood.

"...so ugly."

"So it's not tasty."

For "love", for a shelter.You seem to be slowly destroying yourself.

But the worse the situation was, the less he dared to tell others.

From Su Nuo's mouth, you clearly understand how unsightly your "dead body" is.

I also learned enough lessons from Xia Youjie, and found the reason for being abandoned from his depressive silence when he raised your palm.

Will there be a man who hates the gesture of a woman he loves working hard for him?

some.

Perhaps as Su Nuo said, "Dedicate everything to him to get love and compassion", but losing strength because of hard work becomes a burden, losing beauty because of hard work can't wear a ring, and losing the posture of being loved makes the premise of the question "beloved woman" Let it go to nothing.

As long as someone in the hospital sees your ugly appearance, you will not hesitate to give up your intention of being loved and choose to run away.

"What will it look like? Will you despise me for being ugly?"

"Will you still hug me?"

Freely confide the fear in my heart to the unconscious shadow, but make up my mind to report the good news and not the bad news to the reality.

There are sorcerers everywhere in Juzhuan. You are afraid of exuding negative emotions and being caught as a miserable female ghost, and you are also afraid of attracting Hui's attention. In the end, his shadow became the best place to vent your pressure.

The dry eyes in the hospital can only shed a few tears here.

And "it" caresses your thin spine, holding your scarred palm without saying a word.

……

In July 2018, in Nishitokyo City, the shadow of a super imaginary mantra appeared above the sports field of Yingji Juvenile Academy.

It's still a curse.

As a chick that has not yet broken its shell, it is weak and harmless, but it contains a wealth of magic power.

You look at the goal of this mission from afar——

I really hope that it can be brewed into fine wine before it wakes up.
