On the Methods and Skills of Keeping Gods

"Senior, please don't lie down here." The paralysis with long arms and legs is very obstructive here.

Iwata Subaru looked at the moth in disbelief, and complained: "You actually despise me?! For which father and daughter did I work so hard? I just came back from a business trip in Hokkaido this morning, and you are doing me a favor. Well!"

"It's just hard work on the road. Didn't you also take the opportunity to go to Qingchi and eat a crab feast? Don't get cheap and be good."

"……How did you know?"

"Your online line, you posted photos yourself, don't you know?"

"Ah - I made a mistake." He sat up stiffly, and since he was seen through, he stopped acting. "Block you next time."

"So what are you here for?" Noctua Zhengdao sighed.

Subaru Iwata took out a bag from behind, "It's a present, for Sister Izumi~"

He took out the things while talking: "Didn't you say that she can already read books by herself? So I bought some books for her."

Noctua took the book and glanced at it—"Andersen's Fairy Tales", it seemed that it was carefully selected. "Then I'll thank you for her first."

Iwata made a disgusted look and said: "Who wants the thanks of a big man like you, I want a cute little girl."

"Then you should spend more time to see her." Iwata-senpai hadn't been there since the first time he took him there. He obviously wanted to go very much, but he always made excuses that he was too busy.

"I'm busy—"

really.What a coward, Night Moth sighed inwardly.

No one answered, and the room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of night moths flipping through books could be heard.

"I said," Iwata kicked the opponent, "when will you teach Izumi to speak?"

Noctua's hand flipping through the book stopped for a moment, "Wait a little longer."

"How long do you have to wait?" Iwata frowned.

"You also saw it back then. After she spoke, all the spell spirits in the enchantment disappeared, even the super magic spirit." Noctua recalled the scene at that time, and the girl pronounced the word "Nagi". Afterwards, the wriggling curse spirits in the enchantment were like ripples on the calm water, they all disappeared after a slight sway. "Her language contains powerful spells, and what she said can already be regarded as spells. If you don't guide it, it will definitely cause unpredictable consequences."

"That's what you're going to do, Righteous Way."

[Uncle Zhengdao. 】

Ye Mo Zhengdao suddenly came back to his senses, it turned out that Quan Nagi was asking him a word he didn't know.

Having learned a new Chinese character, Izumi Nagi happily continued to scroll down.This is a book of fairy tales brought to her by Noctua Moth Zhengdao today. The stories in it are very interesting, and she wants to read the story today.But Uncle Ye Moth was acting weird today, she weighed it in her heart, it was uncle that was more important, she reluctantly closed the book, and asked [What's wrong with you today?Been distracted. 】

Moved by the little girl's concern, Noctua touched her smooth black hair, "Does Nagi want to learn to speak?"

【say?Say it out loud like you do? 】Knowing that the place where the moths are entangled is here, Izumi Nagi is relieved.She changed the posture of Ah Yi in her arms, and carefully smoothed out its fluff with a comb—by the way, the comb was also sent by a certain senior to Noctua Moth. [Now you can communicate like this, why do you need to learn to speak. 】

"Because Nagi will not only communicate with me alone in the future, there will be many other people, and even ordinary people. The voice coming out of their heads will scare them."

Izumi Nagi's hand stopped, 【Do you think I can get in touch with other people? 】

"It's not possible, but it will definitely be in the future!" Noctua Zhengdao said with certainty, as if trying to calm her worries.

"In the future, Nagi will meet many, many people, and there may be your friends, or even lovers. It's also like this in the book. The prince and princess use words to express their love." Noctua pointed at the fairy tale The book said.

Izumi thought for a while, then nodded slightly. 【good. 】

With Izumi Nagi's consent, Noctua took out a set of literacy cards for infants and toddlers, and picked out the one full of nouns.

"Then let's start!"

【…】It looks like it was prepared in advance, just waiting for myself to nod.

One taught and the other learned, the one who taught was vivid and joyful in teaching, and the one who learned learned by analogy.Soon, the set of literacy cards brought only verbs.

"Next we're going to start learning verbs. I have a request before learning."

【any request? ] Izumi Nagi, who is still immersed in her studies, urges Noctua to stop being so secretive.

"I hope that when you speak next, there will be no magic power in your language."

[Spell power? 】

"Yes, compare the difference between the two of us when we speak." Noctuid guided bit by bit. "You have to say the same thing as me later."

This is her innate ability.It is like a craftsman with dexterous hands who is required to make works not with hands but with feet.

【It's so difficult...】

Sure enough, after several attempts, it was still unsuccessful.Quan Nagi was still thinking about continuing to study the last set of cards.

[Uncle Night Moth, why do you have to have no magic power?is there any difference? ] She finally couldn't help asking.

"It's not convenient to explain directly, let's do a small experiment and you will understand."

Night Moth took Rabbit Ayi from her arms and put it out of reach of the two of them.

"Come here." Noctua said to Ah Yi.Hajime still stayed where he was, looking at him innocently with big eyes.

Then Noctua looked at Quan Nagi and motioned for her to try it too.

"【come over.】"

As soon as the words fell, Hajime stood up tremblingly, walking tremblingly on his short short legs to Izumi Nagi, and was hugged tightly by her.This was the first time she saw Ah Yi moving, and it was because of her own strength!Ah Yi is so cute when he moves!

Seeing Nagi Izumi happy, Noctua had to add: "This is the difference between the two. Language without mantra is just a form of expression, just like we are talking in our heads. But with mantra, Words have powerful power, which can affect people around you or curse bones and curse spirits like Hajime."

[Isn't that very convenient?After I say something, Hajime can do as I say. 】

Obviously, the little girl failed to understand what was behind such behavior.Night Moth didn't want to demand her with orders, so he said, "Okay, we can take our time. But can you make an agreement with me? You can only speak verbs in the presence of me. Other times you Just say nouns, okay?"

【Uh-huh!OK!Don't worry, Uncle Moth! 】

Noctua sighed, wondering if the little girl really took this agreement to heart, but she felt relieved when she thought that she had always been obedient.

Today is also a day spent in happy learning.

In the evening, Noctua said to Quan Nagi at the door: "Starting tomorrow, I will be on a business trip for three days. You have to eat well by yourself, don't worry about playing with Ah Yi, you can only be healthy if you eat well, you know?"

【Um. 】She was very reluctant to part with the night moth. Since he entered the enchantment, he would find time to come over every day. This is the first time the two have been separated for such a long time.

Seeing that the little girl was depressed, Noctua comforted, "Although I am going on a business trip, I have already asked Senior Iwata to come and see you when he is free. So don't feel lonely."

【I'm not lonely.I don't need anyone else to see me. 】Izumi Nagi is still unwilling to accept people other than Noctuid, especially those who wanted to kill themselves before. 【I still have Hajime. 】

"Senior has actually always cared about you. The comb you brushed Ah Yi and the books you read today were all given to you by senior."

【Humph. 】

The little girl turned her head, expressing that she didn't want to hear it. "Okay, okay. I won't talk. Anyway, take care of yourself. I'll be back soon."

"Goodbye."

【goodbye. 】

three days later.

Ye Mo Zhengdao was in the store choosing a gift for his little girl when the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey……"

Before he could open his mouth, the other party hurriedly said: "Righteous way! Come back quickly, no matter what method you use, come back quickly! If you don't come back...you will never see the high school of magic again..."

"What?! Senior Iwata, what exactly are you trying to say?!"

"...I can't explain it clearly. In short, come back quickly. Quan, she... something happened."
