Conjuration Puppeteer

Hanyu Candle felt quite distressed.

Facing Gojo Satoru alone, Hanyu said it was all right; facing Xia Youjie alone, Hanyu said it was quite relaxed.

But once these two people appeared together, Hanyu Tokuro just wanted to run away.

...Ah, at this time, I began to miss Glass.

"After all, you still want to hide some things from me, don't you, Wu."

"Huh? What do you mean I'm hiding from you? That kind of thing can't be spread to the outside world, and you also know that it's impossible for Zhu to perform that kind of magic with you!"

"How do you know it's impossible?"

"I--"

"Okay, that's it for now."

Han Shengzhu grabbed Xia Youjie's wrist and pulled it back gently. Xia Youjie, who was planning to take a step forward, subconsciously stopped, but finally stopped unwillingly.

"You are not children anymore, what's the fuss about this kind of thing? And whether you want it or not is my business, Wu is not obliged to tell you everything."

Han Shengzhu didn't look at Xia Youjie's expression, but he knew that the expression on the other's face at the moment was definitely not a smile.

"Wu, you go back."

"But--"

"Go back."

Han Yuzhu looked at the pair of azure blue mixed with bewilderment, and his tone was still the same as before, with some comforting indifference,

"Everything will be fine, I promise you. So, go back now."

……

[Go back, because what can you change by staying here? ]

[Even if you are the strongest, there are things you can't do. ]

Gojo Satoru's back was like a swimming fish falling into the water, silent for a while in a daze in the shallow water, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

He's always been the one to compromise first.This is probably the gentleness that belongs to Gojo Satoru alone.

Hanyu Zhu and Xia Youjie left the center of Shinjuku together.It's actually a big central market, so there are more people on the streets than usual.

The two walked one after the other, maintaining a delicate distance, neither approaching nor far away, as if something was connecting them and something was separating them.

"How did you know I was here?"

After a long time, Hanyu Zhu finally spoke.

"Mimiko and Nanako told me." Xia Youjie replied.

"What did you do today?"

"Me? I just went to deal with some things, met some people, and threw some garbage."

"Well, yes, I don't believe that Jie let the curse spirit deliberately follow me."

"I'm not denying that."

"Are you so worried that I will leave?"

Han Yuzhu stopped in his tracks, and he turned slightly sideways, looking at him with blue eyes that were exactly the same as Gojo Satoru, but with more meaning, without any emotion.

"Well, I'm worried."

Xia Youjie stopped beside him, his expression was still calm, as if explaining something that couldn't be more normal.

"After all, didn't Zhu always care about Wu? Even if you leave him, it's not a strange thing, right?"

"You are right."

Hanyu Zhu nodded, but did not deny it.

"So what Wu said is true?"

"You mean the soul binding thing?"

"Ah."

"it is true."

Hanyu Candle answered truthfully,

"But that has nothing to do with you. I didn't refuse because it was Jie or Wu. I just have my own ideas."

"But you will die." Xia Youjie looked at him firmly,

"I don't want you to die."

"You really don't want me to die that much?" Hanyu Candle pressed the side of his finger against his chin, his blue eyes showed a bit of excitement,

"But you also know that if such a technique is activated, half of you will be affected by me, and half of your lifespan will be taken away by me. Although you have achieved the connection of consciousness, it will definitely not be comfortable."

"You know I can't possibly care about that kind of thing." Xia Youjie said softly,

"If you can survive, I don't care even if I show the dirty side of my heart."

"Then I'm really... honored."

Hanyu Candle got stuck for a while.

Speaking of which, although he had never thought about it before, Xia Youjie's current attitude is obviously not right...

Could it be that Xia Youjie really cared about him that much?

This is too scary, and what's even scarier is that he seems to be serious.

Although Han Shengzhu didn't dislike Xia Youjie, he couldn't be called liking him either.

When he was a child, he used to look through his grandfather's bookcase and occasionally saw a few romance novels. He turned to the first page because of curiosity, and he was in a state of anxiety and confusion until the end.

What is [love]?

If this question was put into philosophy, it would be enough to write a small paper. Obviously, Hanyu Tokuro is not interested in philosophy. He would rather waste his time reading manga than those blunt and difficult books.

But one thing is clear.

[Love] should be selfless and able to give everything away.

Hanyu Zhu used to think that he liked Gojo Satoru, but when Gojo Satoru was far away from him, he unexpectedly didn't feel pain, he just thought it was good.

He hopes that Gojo Satoru will be happy, but the feeling of this hope is so shallow that it cannot even be called love.

But... would Gojo Satoru really love him?

Hanyu Zhu didn't know, nor did he want to know.

"Jay."

The silver-haired young man was leaning on a corner of the street. At this moment, he seemed to let go of something, his eyes were fixed on a certain direction not far away, and his tone gradually softened.

"If I say that as long as Jie is willing to give up everything, I agree to perform soul magic techniques with Jie to survive, will Jie agree?"

The air fell into absolute silence for a moment.

As if a second was divided into hundreds of years, Xia Youjie was driving slowly, and Xia Youjie froze in place. He felt a bit of expectation permeated from the other party's eyes. Although there was only a little bit, it was indeed the first time—— The kid looked at him.

……

Sure enough, it still couldn't be done.

"Can't you do it? Hahaha, it's okay, I was just joking. Of course Jie must put his own great cause first. Even if Jie agrees, I can't agree."

Han Yuzhu smiled, the little hope just now was covered under the smile, and soon disappeared.

"Let's go, I want to eat matcha ice cream - I don't know if it's sold here in Shinjuku..."

Xia Youjie stood there stiffly. He looked at the figure that was fading away. He could grasp it with his hand, but it seemed extraordinarily far away.

Really just kidding?

With Yizhu's character, would he really joke about such a thing?

He will stick to his choice, which is also Xia Youjie's principle.Once he has decided on something, he will never look back.

But Hanyu Tokuro used himself to measure his dream.

The balance could not be tipped to either side, but Hanyu Tokuro took the initiative to give him a step down, but he was unable to ask the same thing again.

Xia Youjie took a difficult step forward, the girl's laughter broke into his eardrums suddenly, he was stunned for a second, then turned his head, but saw a very familiar figure standing on the street of Shinjuku It passed by in a flash.

"Heijing! I promised to buy beautiful clothes today! You can't lie to my concubine!"

"I know, I know, Miss, walk slowly...there are many people on this road, what should I do if I accidentally get lost?"

"How is it possible! The concubine will not get lost!!"

……

Is that Riko Tenuchi? ?

No, isn't Riko Tenuchi already dead? ?

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and some memories covered by the seal seemed to break through a certain barrier, but in the end they were just stuck at a node, and he still couldn't recall anything.

Obviously, his memory has been tampered with.

But Tiannai Lizi is still alive, which means that everything he and Satoru do is meaningful.

But... why can't he remember anything?

why?

The black-haired young man stood on the corner of the street, he looked like a lonely tree, obviously blending into the crowd, but he seemed out of place.

I lost...

……

"A matcha-flavored ice cream, thank you."

"Okay! Come on—it's yours!"

After receiving the ice-cold omelet cone, Tokuro Hanyu took a bite slowly, then frowned.

"It's too sweet..."

The taste is far from the memory.

"Isn't ice cream just sweet? You are really hard to serve."

A black shadow enveloped Hanyu Candle, as long as he raised his head slightly, he could see the figure of that guy.

Fu Heisher was standing behind him, with an impatient expression on his face.

So Han Yuzhu took a step back, and after looking at his expression, he obviously showed a gloating expression.

"Has Shier been okay this time? You seem to be in a good state of mind."

"I think you know that I lost the horse bet, right?" Fu Heisher raised his eyebrows.

"Don't send money to the racecourse if you are lucky. You don't even know how many thank you letters the people at the racecourse have sent us." Han Yuzhu said sincerely.

"Huh? Are you serious, dude?"

"Just kidding."

"cut……"

Fu Heisher looked at Hanyu Candle with a displeased face, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the ice cream in Hanyu Candle's hand, and took a big bite unceremoniously.

Hanyu Candle: ...?

What's wrong with this guy? ?

"If you don't like it, I'll help you out. Don't thank me."

After finishing off the ice cream three times or two, Fu Heisher patted Hanyu Candle's head with his hand that was soaked in some cream, and the smile on his face deepened.

Hanyu Candle: ...

Well, very good, this guy probably has been wandering for a long time recently, it's time to teach him a lesson.

"Ah, by the way, you will be able to resign next month." Hanyu Candle said casually.

"Oh? Are you tired of me at last?" Fu Heisher smiled happily.

"Actually, I've been tired of it for a long time." Hanyu Tokuro shrugged,

"Of course, you can choose to continue working in the Taotie Society, or you can leave, that is your freedom. I bought insurance for Hui for the rest of your salary, and it is considered as money for you."

"... What did you say you bought???"

"I bought medical insurance for Hui, ah, of course I bought it for you too." Hanyu Tokuro said with a smile,

"It's personal accident insurance. If you accidentally die one day, you can also leave a sum of money for Hui, which is very good."

Fuhesher: ...

This guy is definitely taking revenge on him!

"So where are you going next month? You don't plan to go to the port mafia, do you?" Fuheshier continued to ask.

"Me?" Hanyu Tokuro was silent for a while, showing a slight smile,

"Probably going where I should go."
