Conjuration Puppeteer

Heart beating so fast.

The black-haired boy faltered a little, his forehead dripped with sweat, but he still didn't stop his steps.

How to do?How to do?How to do?

What should he do!

"Hey, hey! Where are you going to go?"

Not far behind the boy, the tall boy in the lead showed a malicious smile on his face, and the few people standing behind him were also gearing up, apparently with no good intentions.

The phenomenon of school bullying is ubiquitous. In Japan, this should be something that will definitely occur no matter what time period it is.

But what the young man is worried about is not [being bullied].

"Please...don't approach me again!"

The black-haired boy was holding his schoolbag, the expression on his face looked terrified and helpless, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Huh? What the hell are you thinking? I've said it all. We just want to have a [friendly] exchange with you." The leading boy smiled,

"What? Are you still rejecting us?"

"No, it's not—Rika! Wait a minute!"

The boy shook his head violently, with a hint of despair in his eyes—but he was still a step too late.

A huge curse spirit cast black shadows behind them. Just the moment those gangsters turned their heads, the sense of oppression surged like a flood, and screams came and went. Within a few seconds, those gangsters It was [processed] out.

A few drops of dark red blood were stained on the cement pipe, and several gangsters were stuffed into the pipe in a strange shape. Although they would not die, they looked shocking enough.

The neighborhood here was originally a construction site, and those gangsters originally planned to cover his eyes and ears and teach him a lesson, but they didn't expect to cover the victim instead.

——Although the [victim] at this moment also looks quite frightened.

"what to do……"

I don’t know how long I’ve been running, and even my calf started to hurt hotly—maybe it was scratched by the cement block while running on the construction site, but at this moment, he couldn’t care about these, he only knew that he was running towards the endless road .

He hurt someone again.

If this continues, Lixiang will kill those people sooner or later.Obviously he is low-key enough, but he still can't get rid of all this...

What should he do...

"boom!"

"Wow!!"

Caught off guard, the boy bumped into someone who happened to be turning around the corner—for a moment, the bag full of things in the other person's hand was scattered all over the ground, and he only felt himself spinning, and then fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.

The dull pain spread from the forehead and knees to the depths of the brain, but at this moment he didn't have the heart to think about it, and his heart suddenly became flustered.

Oops!Troubled others again...

"Sorry! I didn't mean to!! Are you okay!!!"

The boy subconsciously wanted to help pick up the things on the ground, but his heart suddenly turned cold, and a terrible premonition followed.

"How dare you bully Youta..."

With the appearance of [Lixiang], that powerful force surged up again, almost swallowing everything around.

Ruined.

There was nothing he could do to stop what happened next.

The boy closed his eyes in despair, never daring to look at what happened next.

……

However, the expected bloody storm did not follow, and the surroundings seemed to fall into a brief silence at a certain moment, and then began to flow again.

"I said, be careful when you walk, it's not okay to be in such a hurry."

A slender and white hand was stretched out in front of him, and the young man opened his eyes a little apprehensively, but a gentle voice sounded in his ears.

It was a black-haired young man with brownish red hair at the end, and he looked only in his early 20s, exuding a brisk and comfortable aura around him.At this moment, he was leaning over slightly, his azure blue eyes were staring at him curiously, the ends of his hair seemed to be stained with the twilight, revealing a warm pale gold.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his clothes were still intact, even his hair was not messed up, it seemed that he hadn't been attacked by [Lixiang] at all.

Yi Gu Youtai's thinking stagnated for a moment.

What exactly is going on?

Why did Lixiang suddenly disappear?

"Why are you crying?"

Just when he was dazed, the man in front of him suddenly spoke.At some point, the other party had already actively clenched his hand, perhaps because the movement was too natural and would not give people an abrupt feeling.

"I--"

Words of refusal flowed from his mouth, but he couldn't continue to say it no matter what.

For the first time, I was approached without hindrance...

Although I don't know why Li Xiang didn't attack the man in front of him, but the aura of the other party makes him inexplicably comfortable. I always feel that he shouldn't be a bad person...

"Hey, that's not okay, it looks like you've encountered quite a troublesome thing."

The man stared into his eyes, his tone seemed to be mixed with a little worry,

"Can you talk to me? Maybe I will have a solution."

……

This is the first day Hanyu Tokuro came to Sendai.

Oda Sakunosuke is worthy of being a good mother in the rumors, whether it is sanitary cleaning and planning of three meals a day, she has made arrangements early.And he really likes the house he chose - not only is it sunny, but the location is also well chosen, not too far from the city center, and not too close to cause too much noise.

"Three bedrooms and one living room... The two of us can't live in such a big house." Oda Sakunosuke felt a little headache,

"It's also troublesome to pack up. Which room are you going to sleep in?"

"I can do whatever I want, Sakunosuke you choose whichever one is left and I just choose one. Sakunosuke wants to write a novel, right? Just choose the one with the best scenery." Hanyu Tokuro replied indifferently.

After dealing with those miscellaneous matters in Yokohama, Hanyu Tokuro only felt relaxed, and his mood also became happy.

It's been a long time since I experienced such a leisurely life...

"Is your hair a bit faded?" Oda Sakunosuke glanced at Hanyu Tokuro and asked curiously:

"I remember the last time I saw you, you still had black hair. Recently, the end of your hair seems to be dyed red? Did you dye your hair?"

"Shouldn't it be?" Hanyu Tokuro thought for a while, and said firmly,

"Maybe because Wazunosuke stayed for a long time, the hair color was assimilated."

"...Are you talking about magical novels?"

"But Sakunosuke, you know I've never lied to you." Hanyu Zhu was extremely wronged.

"Is it because of your physique?" Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, then continued,

"I remember you said that even people who don't have spells will have spells around their bodies, that is to say, if you stay by my side for a long time, you will absorb the spells on me and live?"

"That's right, that's it." Hanyu Tokuro smiled,

"But it doesn't affect things like eating and sleeping. If Sakunosuke eats, don't forget about me."

"Is that so, then you go shopping for groceries." Oda Sakunosuke skillfully tore off a note and handed it to him without looking back.

"I came back late at night, and I'm going out to search for inspiration. My old article is coming to an end soon, so don't disturb me for the time being."

"No problem, just leave it to me."

……

Having said that, Yuzuru Hanyu didn't expect that he would run into an unexpected situation just by going out for a walk.

"The wound has been treated. The ankle injury is a bit serious. Was it cut by cement?"

Hanyu Candle noticed a long and deep wound on the opponent's ankle, and caressed his fingers carelessly, the wound faded away the moment it was touched, but it seemed quite natural.

"Ah...fortunately, the pain is gone now."

Yi Gu Youtai felt a little embarrassed.

It turned out that he accidentally bumped into someone else, but the other party didn't mind, and even took him back to bandage the wound.

I always feel like a very gentle senior...

"If you're worried, you can go to the hospital to have a look. Do you need me to call your family?"

After Hanyu packed the medicine box, he put the paper bag on the sofa on the table, patted the hem of his clothes, and continued to ask.

"No! Thank you!"

Yi Gu Youtai answered nervously, his hands were placed on his knees cautiously, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Should I tell the truth?

This is really not appropriate... Anyway, Li Xiang's matter is his own matter, and he shouldn't affect other people in the first place.

"Speaking of which, I saw that you were being chased by something before, did you encounter a curse spirit?" Hanyu Zhu asked him with concern.

"I... hey, wait, wait! How do you know—"

Yi Guyou was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head in a panic, but the moment his eyes touched the other person, he suddenly calmed down.

That's right, it seems that Lixiang suddenly disappeared the moment he met him. Seeing from the appearance of this senior, he seems to know something about [curse spirit], maybe talking to him can find a solution?

"Senior, do you know what happened to me?" Yi Guyou asked calmly with too much effort.

"...Well, although I don't know the specific situation, but judging from the appearance - you are cursed, right?" Hanyu Tokuro thought,

"You have a strong curse aura, and she doesn't seem to have any malice towards you. I'm also curious about this situation. If you don't mind, can you tell me?"

Indeed, it was also the first time for Hanyu Tokuro to see such a situation.

Although at first he was attracted by the abnormally powerful magic power of the opponent, the curse spirit named [Lixiang] also wanted to attack him at first, but because of the trigger of [Puppet Art], Hanyu Candle quickly So he controlled Li Xiang and used his own spells to suppress the opponent.

Moreover, the magic power on his body also made Han Yuzhu feel a little familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he had to bring it back first and ask slowly.

"This one……"

Before Yi Gu Youtai could finish his words, a strange cry suddenly sounded, and the air was quiet for a while, and the two just looked at each other until the former's face turned red.

"Are you hungry?" Hanyu Tokuro asked with a smile.

"No, I'm sorry, why don't you let me go home first..." Yi Gu Youtai replied with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you don't need to go back, it's late now, the road will not be safe, right?" Hanyu said,

"Why don't you just have dinner at my house?"

"Hey... Is it really okay for you to cook?" Yi Gu Youtai was a little worried.

"Of course, because I don't know how to cook." Hanyu Candle said confidently.

Otoko Yuta: ...

How should he answer this! ! !

"It's okay, we can order pizza." Hanyu Zhu turned on the phone familiarly, and began to seriously prepare to make a call.

"You can tell me what flavor you like to eat."

"That...isn't it good to eat pizza at night?" Yi Guyouta raised his hand in embarrassment, "I see that you also bought a lot of vegetables, don't you plan to cook?"

"It was bought for Sakunosuke, he can cook. But I can't." Hanyu Candle said as a matter of course.

"Asuke?"

"It's the owner of this house. He's a great novelist. The curry rice he makes is delicious."

"..."

The first impression was that the senior in front of me must be a family type, but I didn't expect it to be so! ! !

"Do you know how to cook?" Sensing the subtle pause in the other party's tone, Hanyu Tokuru turned his head sharply and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I... I only know the most basic ones."

Yi Gu Youtai said in a low voice.Because of Lixiang, he didn't dare to get too close to his family. Over time, he basically lived alone all the time, and he still had the ability to take care of himself.

But wouldn't it be too abrupt to casually propose to cook for others?After all, this is the first meeting...

"Ah! That's really great!" Hanyu Candle's eyes lit up, he held the other's fingers tightly, leaned forward for me, and the smile on his face became a little gentler,

"You can do it if you want, do you want me to help you?"

"This, this..."

Everything just happened naturally.

Even Otoko Yuta didn't know what was going on, he walked into the kitchen with a dazed face, tried to cook a few dishes according to his memory, and when he finally sat at the dining table, he realized that he had passed It's over.

It always feels like a dream.

"I see. So, did the curse named [Rika] haunt you at that time?"

Han Yuzhu thought about it quietly, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

"Yes... I am also very distressed, because I have been unable to control Lixiang, so I have been worried about whether I will continue to hurt others."

The black-haired boy clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, with a painful expression on his face.

"It's not the first time that kind of thing happened, I obviously don't want to hurt them..."

"Indeed, it's a very troublesome thing."

Hanyu Candle's voice rang softly in his ears, but it turned around in the next second,

"After all, [Rika] did attack me just now, but I temporarily suppressed her attack, so I was not injured."

"Suppress it?" Yi Guyoutai raised his head in surprise.

"My spells are also quite special. Although your [Rika]'s level can at least be regarded as a super-level spell spirit, but my level is not low." Hanyu Tokuro said with a smile.

"You...your level?"

Yi Gu Youtai murmured.Inexplicably, there was a bad feeling.

"Yes, my level."

Han Shengzhu leaned back slightly, he quietly watched the young man in front of him, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Because, to a certain extent, [Rika] and I are the same existence."

……

Hanyu Toki really didn't intend to lie.

Yi Gu Youtai probably noticed this too, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered, on the contrary, it would be more natural to confess directly, after all, it is not a secret worth hiding that he is a [curse spirit].

"You, you mean, aren't you human too?"

Yi Guyouta felt that his tone was a little weak, and he felt that it might be impolite to ask like this, but unexpectedly he didn't feel any fear or fear in his heart.

Even if he wasn't human, that senior did help him.And he was willing to confess this matter because he trusted him.

"Yes." Hanyu Candle's attitude was very natural,

"So I know how to suppress [Rika]. But instead of letting me do it, you have to learn to suppress [Rika] yourself."

"I... to suppress it myself?" Yi Gu Youtai was a little at a loss.

"Well, just try not to let your emotions change during this time, I know there is someone who will definitely help you." Hanyu Zhu stretched out his hand, and patted Otoko Yuta's head lightly,

"Don't worry, it's going to be okay. And, even if you did hurt those people, can you really decide they were [not worth] hurting?"

"What does it mean to be unworthy of harm??"

Yi Gu Youtai raised his head in confusion.

"Have you ever thought? Have you thought about how you would be treated without your [Sato]?"

Hanyu Candle said casually, but his finger dropped down inadvertently, and pressed the other person's shoulder,

"Without Lixiang's revenge, I'm afraid your fate would be even worse? Being bullied by seniors...becoming the object of everyone's avoidance, and maybe even more egregious things."

"Being able to [possess] power is more urgent than [suppressing] power."

"Possess power...you mean, you have to learn to use Li Xiang's power?" asked Otoko Yuta.

"Yes, and I can feel that your potential is very good." Hanyu Tokuro let go of his shoulders, and sat in front of him at the same time, continuing to smile:

"If it were you, it would be easy to do, right?"

"Can I do it..."

Yi Gu Youtai lowered his head in a daze, but he began to feel uneasy in his heart.

This is the first time he has noticed [that he has power].

But as Han Yuzhu said, he has been bullied by his classmates, maybe it is direct violence, or he turned a blind eye to it—although this is also related to his intentional avoidance of classmates, but such a cold attitude It did hurt him, too.

But he can only turn a blind eye.

No one has the extra energy to help him, and in fact, no one is willing to give anything for a person who doesn't have much contact with each other.More people choose to turn a blind eye, but never think that this is also a kind of harm.

It may be an old social problem, but it does exist wantonly.

"It's getting late, why don't you go back."

Holding his chin, Hanyu Candle sincerely put forward his opinion,

"After all, it's not safe to go back at night. With me here, you don't have to worry about Lixiang going berserk, right?"

"I……"

"If you are worried, I can call your family and explain." Hanyu continued,

"Besides, your condition is serious. You need special training to control your strength, don't you?"

"No problem is no problem, but senior... I don't understand why you help me so much."

Yi Gu Youtai spoke softly, but his eyes lowered inadvertently, looking a little uneasy,

"You must have seen today's scene. I am really scared and don't know what to do, but I really don't understand..."

"There's no need to worry about those problems."

A pair of hands gently cupped his cheeks, the movements were still gentle, but with a bit of solemnity.

"You just have to believe that I really won't hurt you—just believe that's enough."

There is boundless tenderness in the blue eyes, as if every word he said is sincere from the heart.

Do you really want to trust him?

But... there is no way out for a long time, right?

……

Light rain started to fall from the sky, making the originally gloomy sky even more depressing.

"Although I saw the weather forecast saying that there would be rain, I didn't expect it to rain."

Glancing at the time on his watch, Oda Sakunosuke also packed up his things. He glanced around and opened the umbrella in his hand wide to block the thin books in the sky.

Those men in black had already been packed by him and packed under the bridge hole. Originally, Oda Sakunosuke wanted to go back early, but he still encountered a little [trouble].

I don't know who leaked the news about him and the candle, after noticing these people, Oda Sakunosuke deliberately led them away and dealt with them.

However, in addition to these miscellaneous fish, he also seemed to have met an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"How long have you been with me?"

Oda Sakunosuke turned sideways slightly, he quietly watched a corner not far away, as if waiting for someone to come out.

"I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Although your aura is well concealed, it's a pity that the person you're following is me."

"Tsk... as expected, it was discovered."

The silence spread for a moment, and the black-haired man soon appeared in front of Oda Sakunosuke.

It was still the same as it was a few years ago, with that crisp black hair, somewhat careless eyes, and the familiar but no longer familiar scar at the corner of the mouth.

He was still carrying vegetables and meat and eggs in a plastic bag, and his murderous aura was well concealed. At first glance, he was just an ordinary passer-by—ignoring the bloody smell permeating his body, maybe Oda Sakunosuke was really Some would think that the person in front of him was as lazy and harmless as he appeared on the surface.

"Follow me all the way to get news from him?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.

"It seems that you know it. What? That guy is resurrected?" Fu Heisher asked with a smile.

"As you think, he is still alive." Oda Sakunosuke said truthfully,

"Is there anything else you want to do with him? I'm afraid you are having a hard time right now. Even your own son was adopted by Gojo Satoru of the Gojo family... Your activity has also decreased a lot recently."

"Don't talk nonsense, I just haven't received any missions recently, if this continues, I can't even afford instant noodles." Fu Heisher replied lazily.

"If you didn't go betting on horses, I'm afraid you have saved a lot of money by now?"

"That kind of thing is as inseparable as eating."

"..."

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, and finally looked away, and said softly:

"If you want to find him, you don't need to hide like this. I think he should be very happy to see you appear in front of him again."

"Huh?? What the hell are you talking about—"

"At least he chose to let him end everything at that time, didn't he?"

Oda Sakunosuke walked by slowly, his voice lowered slightly,

"If you want to see him, go see him. I won't stop you. Maybe...it's a good thing for him too."

After leaving these words, Oda Sakunosuke left the place, leaving Fuheshier standing quietly in the rain with a somewhat stunned expression.

...What, that guy.

The palm of the hand clenched slightly, but clenched again.

Who cares about that kind of thing.
