Bald cape conjurer

"My guest, three high-end dim sum sets cost a total of 75000 yen; today's package fee is 120 million yen. Are you finishing your meal now?" the clerk who did not wait for an answer asked with some doubts road.

"Ah...that..."

Saitama stood stiffly in the room, sweating profusely.Beads of sweat slid down his bald head, and finally dripped on the tatami, leaving little circular marks.

Oops, oops, I didn't expect that corn head to leave without paying the bill!

——Besides, whether it’s snacks or booking fees, they’re all so expensive!In addition, the punch just now broke the table and tableware, and it would cost a lot of money to pay for it!The total may exceed 200 million!

"Guest?" The clerk asked again without waiting for Saitama's answer.

"Ah! Well, I'll leave later..." Saitama stammered.

"I understand. Please enjoy it slowly."

The clerk bowed slightly, then got up, and left in small steps.

Seeing the silhouette of the clerk disappear, Saitama stood there in a daze, completely stunned.

What to do, this is a huge sum of money.But now he just happened to be unemployed again, without the subsidies from the High School and the Conjuration Association, he couldn't afford to pay at all...

Do you want Genos or Wujo to come to his senses?But if you let them advance the money, then you still have to pay back the money slowly...

Or should I just walk out and tell the clerk that I have no money?But in this way, it seems that he came to eat the Overlord's meal on purpose.I don't know if staying in the store to wash the dishes can pay off the debt...

The more he thought about it, the more sweat appeared on Saitama's face.On his bald head, the originally smooth lines trembled more and more, and that face was almost turned into a crumpled dishcloth because of tension and pain.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from far and near outside the VIP box.

Saitama suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the door, his heart was pounding, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.

Ah - oh, oh, oh, the clerk from just now must have realized something was wrong and came after him!I really have no choice but to apologize first...

The moment the visitor stepped into the box, what greeted her was Saitama's bald head.

"I'm really sorry!" Saitama lowered his head and raised his hands to explain loudly, "I don't want to eat the king's meal! It's just..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, Saitama raised his head in a daze.

What caught his eyes was Zenin Shinji in furisode kimono.Her cheeks were still flushed from the emotion just now, and she stared at Saitama with wide eyes.

"Oh, so it was you." Saitama breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head and straightened up, the red blood on the whites of his eyes disappeared instantly, "Where is Zenyuan Naoya? Did he come with you?"

"He has already gone back!" Zenyuan Zhenyi clenched his fists, "I am the one who turned back to find you."

"Eh?" Saitama's eyes widened again.

real or fake?That head of corn didn't come back for the check at all! ?

"But why did you come back to me?" Saitama scratched his head in embarrassment, "Even if you agreed to them, I can't possibly marry you?"

"...Do you think I'm here to persuade you to marry me?"

Zenyuan Zhenyi blushed and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Are you kidding... I don't want to be exchanged as a bargaining chip in this way!"

"I'm here to make it clear to you!" She suddenly raised her head, suddenly increased her volume, and said angrily, "What did you just say? What do you mean 'I didn't think they were particularly beautiful'? Maki didn't care Yes, I am serious about skin care and makeup every day! I really have no vision!"

Saitama's scratching hand froze on the back of his head.His eyebrows turned into a "eight" shape, and his mouth opened stupidly: "... huh?"

"Also, don't get me wrong. I don't really plan to live my whole life like Zenyuan Naoya said. I will never accept a life that is used as a tool by others!" Zenyuan Zhenyi said crackling like a machine gun, "I don't wear makeup to increase my status as a bargaining chip! I just want to be beautiful!"

"But you didn't say anything just now..." Saitama interjected blankly.

"...Ah, yes, I didn't dare to speak at all just now. I am a cowardly person. In fact, I don't want to be a conjurer at all. I feel scared when I see strange curses. Even if I have other thoughts in my heart, I dare not Say it on the spot!"

Saitama's expression was dull: "If you don't want to be a magician, it doesn't matter if you don't?"

"But if I don't become a conjurer, wouldn't it be impossible to find Maki again!"

Speaking of this, Zenyuan Zhenyi's eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes were getting more and more: "I'm not a sister, I can't be as brave as her, even if I hate the Zenyuan family so much, I still stay there, and I still hope that she can be as brave as her." Don't leave, and accompany me to be summoned by the Chanyuan family..."

"It's so cowardly, I really..."

"I can't become like my sister, so I can only be left behind by her..."

Zenyuan Zhenyi's voice became lower and lower.In the end, she didn't say anything, just clenched the sleeves of the kimono tightly, and lowered her head vigorously, so that Saitama could not see the expression on her face at the moment.

In the silence, Saitama's voice sounded: "...but it's not wrong for Maki to decide to leave the Zenyuan family. To be honest, I don't know much about your family. Anyway, how about you talk to your sister? "

"Absolutely not..." Zenyuan Zhenyi murmured, "After my sister left the Zenyuan home, I said a lot of nasty things to her. She must hate me now, not only won't talk to me properly, but will also laugh at me."

She covered her eyes with her palms: "It's because I said too much to her that I can't let her see me in such a mess."

"Well, she's not such a person..." Saitama raised an eyebrow, "Although I don't know your sister very well, it's just sisters quarreling. As for hating each other?"

"Sisters are arguing...?" Zenin Zhenyi put down her hands and stared blankly at Saitama.

"Aren't you sisters?" Saitama asked puzzledly, "Isn't that sisters quarreling?"

"..."

Perhaps it was because she and Zenyuan Maki's sister status was reconfirmed. For some reason, from Saitama's simple words, Zenyuan Zhenyi felt a sudden warmth.

This guy Saitama...although it's really not her type at all, but maybe it's not impossible to be friends with him...

Recalling carefully, even that Todo Aoi seems to praise Saitama... Although Todo Aoi is annoying, he will not praise bad guys.

Thinking of this, Zenyuan Zhenyi settled down and took another deep breath.

"I have something to say first," she said stiffly. "If you want me to thank you, then you have made a wrong calculation. I will not thank you."

"Ah?" Saitama was a little speechless, "I didn't say that just to make you thank..."

Zenyuan Zhenyi didn't listen to Saitama's words, but continued: "Hmph, although I said that just now, I don't need you to tell me, that's what happens between sisters."

"And it's not like Maki didn't do unreasonable things to me. When she was young, she clearly said she would never abandon me, but in the blink of an eye she forgot her promise and left me, and ran away by herself."

"That day I heard the conversation between Maki and the head of the house before she ran away from home. She actually said, 'This matter has nothing to do with Zhenyi'. We are twins, but she excluded me without hesitation and didn't ask my opinion. What is this? It's very sad!"

"Saitama, what do you think my sister is..."

Amidst the chatter of Chanyuan Zhenyi, Saitama's expression gradually became empty.

Why is this guy saying this to him?It's so troublesome...

At this moment, Saitama suddenly noticed footsteps coming from outside the box door again.

...It was the clerk from just now, and he must have come to ask him about the checkout!

Saitama suddenly panicked again.But at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Zenyuan Zhenyi.

Wait a minute, it was the Chanyuan family who said they would treat me to afternoon tea, and Chanyuan Zhenyi is from the Zenyuan family...

So, just let her pay the bill, wouldn't it be fine?

Zenyuan Zhenyi was still muttering about the past of the two sisters, and didn't notice that Saitama's eyes looking at her were a little wrong.

Zenyuan Zhenyi's broken thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Saitama.

"Uh, how should I put it...Well, I think what you need most now is a clean space, so that you can stay in it and think about your future seriously."

On the surface, Saitama said to Zenyuan Zhenyi seriously, but in fact he was very nervous inside: "That is... If you want to approach your sister's strength and decide your own future path, in addition to strengthening your combat effectiveness, psychological training is also very important. It has to be as strong mentally as physically."

"In short, I'll take a step first, leaving room for you to think about it!" Saitama said firmly, "You have to work hard!"

Zenyuan Zhenyi looked at Saitama in a daze: "Huh? Oh, um..."

Saitama was right.Compared with her sister, what she lacks is not only talent, but also psychological...spiritual strength?

Saitama might really be a nice guy...

Zenyuan Zhenyi sat on the spot thoughtfully.Seeing that she accepted his statement, Saitama quickly raised his legs and ran out the door.

With a shiny bald head and a fluttering cloak, Saitama hurriedly said while running: "By the way, Zenyuan Naoya didn't pay when he left just now, so I will trouble you for paying the bill!"

"Oh... eh?"

Zenyuan Zhenyi suddenly raised his head.

What caught her eyes was not only the back of the bald man running away, but also the smiling face of the clerk protruding from the door.

...isn't it?Just now I was wondering if this bald man is a friend worth making, but I didn't expect that the next second, as an adult, he would leave his underage self to pay the bill?

Zenyuan Zhenyi was beyond shocked.Her eyes were wide open, and she couldn't even speak.

So is her emotion just now fake?Obviously she has opened up her heart, but this guy is actually thinking about how to trick her into staying and paying...!

……

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the bus stopped at the platform.

The car door opened, and Zenin Maki, who was wearing a sports coat, got out of the car with her spell bag on her back.

With a "buzz", the bus door closed again and drove away slowly.Without the cover of the car body, the back of the girl in a kimono can be clearly seen on the river embankment opposite the road.

Zenyuan Maki saw her sister sitting on the lawn of the river embankment, and walked towards her.

The sneakers made a rustling sound as they stepped on the wet grass.Zenyuan Maki walked to Zenyuan Zhenyi's side step by step, bent down and sat down beside her, and put the magic tool bag at her feet.

"It's really rare, you took the initiative to call me out."

Zenyuan Maki looked at the sparkling river water, the glasses reflected the white light on the water surface, covering her eyes, "I thought you didn't want to see my sister anymore."

"I never said that." Zenyuan Zhenyi started, then paused, "Today, Zenyuan Naoya took me to see Saitama."

"Zenyuan Naozai?" Zenyuan Maki was a little surprised, "What is that unlucky guy doing?"

"He was ordered by the head of the family to recruit Saitama into the Zen monastery."

Zenyuan Zhenyi raised his hand and pulled off the hair accessories on his sideburns.Although her expression has returned to calm at the moment, the fingers that kept pinching the hair accessories inadvertently revealed her emotions at the moment, "... Said that if Saitama likes it, he can marry me. Even if he wants to marry you That's fine too."

"Huh? Are you kidding?" Zenyuan Maki suddenly understood, staring at the exquisite kimono on her sister, "That's why you wore this Furisode kimono to meet?"

"Yes." Zenyuan Zhenyi nodded.

"Tsk." Chanyuan Maki was speechless in displeasure.

Silence continued for a moment.

Zenyuan Zhenyi finally turned around, staring straight at Zenyuan Zhenxi's face that was exactly like hers: "Why don't you ask me about the result?"

"Then do you still need to ask? Saitama's words must be rejected." Chanyuan Maki said without hesitation.

"How do you know he will refuse?" Chanyuan Zhenyi asked with some surprise.

"Ah, what should I say about this?" Chanyuan Maki thought for a while and described, "That fellow Saitama is unlikely to be willing to work with someone like the old man, let alone be the old man's subordinate. And let's talk about using marriage to attract He and the like... Well, that Saitama probably doesn't have such worldly desires."

Zenyuan Zhenyi: "..."

"However, this also explains the reason why I received letters from the Chanyuan family for two consecutive days. Those old guys suddenly went uncharacteristically, and in the letter they kindly advised me to go back to the Zenyuan family. The tone of the tone made my skin crawl." Zenyuan Maki touched her arm, "It's probably because they saw the possibility of heaven and curse from Saitama, so they remembered me."

"But it's impossible to go back, and if I want to go back, I won't go back in my current capacity." She said, "If I really want to go back, I will definitely go back as the head of the family."

"You still haven't changed." Zenyuan Zhenyi said softly, "It's been so long, do you still plan to be the head of the Zenyuan family?"

"Of course."

Zenyuan Maki grinned, showing a row of white teeth: "I want to completely change the Zenyuan family!"

Zenyuan Zhenyi hugged his knees and lowered his head: "Really. Then I will wait."

"But it's you, is it really okay to stay there?" Zenyuan Maki asked, "Fortunately, you met Saitama this time, but next time, who will the Zenyuan family sell you to? "

"I know," Zenyuan Zhenyi said with deep eyes, "I've already made up my mind. I'll leave the Zenyuan family next week."

"I have already seen clearly that I must not expect anything from the Chanyuan family." She said, "Although Saitama helped me this time, I can't always rely on others. I can't always wait for you without doing anything. What you win with your own hands is more secure."

Zenyuan Maki was a little surprised: "Hey, so you have been looking forward to me?"

"...I really hate you." Zenyuan Zhenyi's eyes flickered.

"Ah, is it?" Chanyuan Maki didn't care.

After being silent for a while, Zenin Zhenyi said again: "In addition to this incident, I also heard from Saitama that the Kamo family also extended an olive branch to him, but he also rejected it."

"With the senior management seeing him as a thorn in the side, and having the guts to offend Zenyuan and the Kamo family one after another, Saitama will definitely encounter a lot of trouble in the future," she said.

Rarely, Chanyuan Maki also agrees with this view: "It is true. Although those guys are expensive as the Yusanjia, their character and temperament are not very good, and they are very small. Next, they will definitely find a way to suppress Saitama."

"After all, for them, they would rather suppress and destroy the things they can't get and the things they don't like. It's like this when they treat me who has no magic power." She sighed softly, "But this time, those Old guy, don’t think that you can cover the sky with one hand and do whatever you want.”

Chanyuan Maki said optimistically: "After all, what they're after this time is the hero who was driven by interest."

……

the other side.

"This kid named Saitama really doesn't know what to do!"

At Jia Mao's house, the head of the family slapped the table heavily: "In this case, the Jia Mao family will not be polite to him. Let him experience the consequences of angering Jia Mao."

Seeing that Patriarch Kamo had the idea of ​​doing something against Saitama, Kenji Kamo's heart couldn't help but tighten.

——Although the owner of Kamo knew that Saitama was not a complete idiot, he didn't fully realize how powerful Saitama was.But Kamo Kenji is more clear about this.

This is because after the Shibuya incident, he was puzzled that only Saitama was punished in the high-level instructions, so he immediately asked Dongdo Aoi who participated in the Shibuya battle, and heard something related to Saitama from Dongdo Aoi. intelligence.

Just a few words are enough to judge that Saitama's strength seems to have broken the well-known rules and restrictions in the magic world, and it is a very reasonable existence.

"Please don't be too impulsive!" Kamo Kenji whispered to the Patriarch, "We still don't know the limit of Saitama's strength. It is not wise to act rashly on him."

"...Are you saying that the huge Kamo family has to be afraid of a little Saitama?"

Hearing this, the Patriarch Kamo squinted at Kenji Kamo: "Just because he smashed the rockery? Although his degree of damage is higher than mine, even with the body bound by the sky and the curse, he may have exhausted it when he smashed the rockery. With all my strength. And when I shot, I only used [-]% of my spell power."

"You don't really think that a bald man without magic power can be so strong?" Patriarch Kamo looked with deep disdain. The Patriarch has trained for so long, but he still can't get on the stage..."

Kamo Kenji's body froze.

Ah, here it is again, the eyes that can deeply stab one's heart.

"The Wutiao family was originally dominated by Wutiaowu's family. Now Wutiaowu himself has been sealed by the prison gate, and there is no way to unseal it. This means that the Wutiao family has declined. The battlefield for the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, belongs to the Zen Academy and us. Kamo."

Patriarch Kamo said coldly: "At first I thought you were useful, but now it seems that I overestimated you."

"Although the Zenyuan family's strategy of spreading branches and leaves is inferior, it is quite effective. In order to win in the next struggle, the Kamo family also needs more fresh blood to inherit the art. For now, it is necessary More women who can give birth to boys who inherit the spell."

Having said that, Patriarch Kamo seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at Kenji Kamo with a chilling gaze.

"Your mother is not bad," he said, "Although she is only a concubine, she has been a boy who has inherited the ancestral spells all her life."

As soon as this remark came out, Kenji Kamo suddenly raised his head, the expression on his face could no longer be maintained.

He opened his mouth, his tone trembling slightly: "You mean..."

"The Kamo family needs your mother's dedication right now. Because of her humble background, she was not allowed to enter the Kamo family at all. Now it is time to come back for the sake of the Kamo family."

Patriarch Kamo frowned, "This is an opportunity for both you and your mother. Don't be ignorant, Xianji."

"..."

Patriarch Kamo walks away.Kamo Kenji stared at his back fiercely, bloodshot eyes appeared in the whites of his eyes.

His hands clenched tightly in his broad sleeves.

...What is the Kamo family, what is the son-in-law.If it wasn't for his mother, he would have already...

Since the first son failed to inherit the art, Kamo Kenji, who was a bastard son, showed the red blood manipulation at the age of six, so he was welcomed into the family as the first son by the Kamo family.But his mother was not allowed to accompany him because of her low status.

But even so, on the day the mother and son parted, the mother was still smiling at him, expecting him to become a magician who would help many people and make her proud.

Even if she is treated like that, the mother still loves this world, and expects that as a son, he will also exert goodwill on this world.She wasn't like that.

Compared with these selfish guys in the Kamo family, his mother is the truly great person.The time spent with his mother before the age of six was the spiritual pillar that supported him for the next ten years.

For so many years in the past, Kamo Kenji has been working hard at Kamo's house, just for his mother.

...But now, mother's life is going to be ruined again for such a ridiculous reason...

His mother is not a reproductive machine, and the meaning of survival is not to give birth to powerful offspring.No woman should be treated like this.Their lives have meaning in themselves.

He will become an excellent conjurer, as his mother wishes.But that won't happen at Kamo's.

Kenki Kamo gritted his teeth, and took out a blank piece of paper from his wide sleeve.

——It was a flyer sent out by the "Alliance of Victim Sorcerers" in line with the policy of spreading the net widely, with details on how to join, and the slogan of "returning a bright future to the magic world".

This is the flyer Kamo Kenji received two days ago.Originally, he still had some doubts about the existence of the Union of Conjured Sorcerers, but now, he has made up his mind.

I want to leave this place with my mother, and then join the "League of Victim Sorcerers".
