attack on rotten oranges

"So, why is it that I was the one who paid the price..." Bunbu Shuhei sighed.

He had just suppressed his temper to receive the representatives of the Director of Conjuration, and then quietly slipped out of the main house of the Ministry of Education with the documents needed for today's work, and came to the site of [Panxing Cult].

"I also want to ask, why you are the head of the Ministry of Culture, but you want to work here..." Xia Youjie looked at the gray-haired boy who was occupying the magpie's nest in his office, feeling a little helpless.

"In order to avoid temporary work." Wenbu Shuhei put down the pen in his hand, leaned forward lazily, and rested his chin on the table, "It's all trivial things, but I still have to show them to me."

"Even when the clothes are made uniformly this year, the old cooperative store closed down, and we have to report to the higher authorities if we need to change to a new store."

"It's obviously the same fabric and the same price."

"What's the use of this kind of report? Do you want my two 'pass'?" The gray-haired boy said painfully.

"Cough." Xia Youjie wanted to laugh, but held back, and with a light cough, turned the smile in his throat into sympathy, "That's not easy."

He said against Shuhei Bunbu's accusing eyes.

"Just wait, when your [Pan Xing Cult] really takes off, you will be like me." Bunbu Shuhei cursed "viciously".

"..." Xia Youjie refused to think about his doomed miserable future.

"Is the director looking for something for you?" He changed the subject.

"Ah, it's Enlightenment." Wenbu Shuhei picked up his pen again, and with a resolute expression on his face, he opened the next document, "After going back that day, Enlightenment found a time to beat up and down the Gojo family. over and over again..."

"No one should be telling him what his future is after graduation now."

"What does that have to do with you?" Xia Youjie was puzzled.

"The director's meeting should be worried that there will be another family where the head of the family and the elders suddenly die suddenly, and then let the heir rush to the throne." A new head of the family who usurped the power explained calmly, "So come to me to find out. "

"What did you say?" Xia Youjie became interested.

"Of course it is to tell them that the former head of the family and the elders who were the pillars of the family sacrificed heroically for the peace and stability of the magic world, and died a well-deserved death. Although I am a junior, I am sad, but I am also honored. I will take over the duties of the previous head of the family and manage them well. Bunbu family, continue to contribute to the magic world."

Shuhei Bunbu replied with a half-smile.

"..." Xia Youjie was silent.Alright, the representative of the Director's Council is lucky if he isn't mad at you.

He silently put a course called "The Art of Language" on the plan.

"Jie should not be suitable for shirking responsibility, nor for Tai Chi." Bunbu Shuhei seemed to have seen his plan.

"Then what should I do?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Youjie regretted seeing the deep smile on Wenbu Shuhei's face.

"Jie looks in the mirror, doesn't he understand?" The gray-haired boy beamed, "Jie fits that kind of kind-hearted image!"

"Benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes... I suspect Xiuping your eyesight is not good." Xia Youjie smiled and summoned a Bodhidharma-like mantra, and asked intimately, "Shall I help you with physical therapy?"

"That's what it is!" Wenbu Shuhei hugged his head reflexively, and screamed loudly, "Jie is suitable for the kind of person who says 'we should help each other when we have difficulties' while relying on ordinary people's invisible spells. A character with small movements!"

Shuhei's description coincided with his own plan, Xia Youjie suspected that the gray-haired boy had peeked at his plan for [Pan Xing Sect].

Sighing, Xia Youjie put away the spell, sat across the desk from Shuhei in the Ministry of Education, and knocked his head manually: "Hurry up and work, I have to go out to play later."

"No Nanako and Mimiko!" Shuhei Bunbube asked.

"...Yes, but I have to bring them some snacks when I come back." Xia Youjie thought for a moment and agreed.

"Do you have any more files? Let me take a look for you?"

"Huh? Can Jay do it?"

"If it's the kind of thing I told you about replacing a new cloth shop, I think I can still do it."

"Let's think of it as a rehearsal for [Pan Xing Sect]." Xia Youjie smiled indulgently.

Shuhei Bunbu cheered, "Shua Shua Shua" began to throw his task to Xia Youjie.

"You can't give me all of it, not even four-fifths!"

Xia Youjie roared.

His peace of mind towards Shuhei Bunbu was broken in less than a minute after facing the task pushed by the unscrupulous gray-haired guy.

……

***

"Xiu Ping?" Xia Youjie opened the Zhangzi door and looked worriedly at the figure sitting against the wall in the corner of the dark room.

He was really worried about his friend, so he took a risk and entered the ancestral house of the Ministry of Education with the cooperation of Wenbu Shimizu.

"Ah, it's Jie." Taking advantage of the moonlight at the door, Shuhei Bunbu raised his head and drank the drink in his hand, then threw the jar out casually.

The empty soda can draws a perfect arc and falls accurately into the trash bin at the diagonal of the house, colliding with other similar ones inside to make a crisp sound.

"I probably understand the mentality of the Green King." The young man in the darkness said in a steady tone, "Probably...a stubborn, hopeless, idealist..."

Shuhei Bunbu calmly looked like an outsider.

But a real outsider will not shut himself in the house alone, nor will he be rude to keep friends who come to care about him at the door.

Xia Youjie glanced over the empty cans in the trash can in the corner of the room, and sighed silently——thinking about it, this couldn't be a healthy drink.

He was only thankful that Bunbu Shimizu was good at watching his face, and the first time he noticed that Bunbu Shuhei was in a bad mood, he replaced the other party's private possession with low-alcohol beer.

Otherwise, according to the level of Wenbu Shuhei, I should be on the way to send someone to gastric lavage now...

Xia Youjie closed the door, walked gently to his friend's side, and sat down with him in the dark.

They did successfully cooperate to complete the work today, and went out to find old friends whom they hadn't seen for many days, Zhou Fangzun, Kusanagi Izumo, and Jutsu Tara, and gathered at their secret base.

But the accident happened unexpectedly——

Before the curse spirit they were riding on landed, a huge red sword appeared above Zhou Fangzun's head.

Xia Youjie can still feel the shock and awe of the huge monster appearing in front of his eyes.

A new Red King was born.

And this, for Bunbu Shuhei, is another extremely complicated matter.

"I can probably understand the goal of the Green King." Shuhei Bunbube in the dark spoke clearly without the slightest hint of drunkenness.

Also, there didn't seem to be any mood swings.

"Probably similar to Jie's impossible goal before."

"For example, let everyone become capable or something."

"If this is the case, his behavior of challenging the King of Gold can also be explained..."

"Obtain the Dresden Tablet, and unleash the power within."

"For such an idealist, even if he chooses a temporary partner, it is impossible to only look at the temporary benefit."

"So, the collaborator of the Green King, the behind-the-scenes person we are looking for, his goal should also have something to do with empowering ordinary people..."

Shuhei Bunbu was chattering about his own analysis, and the darkness became the best protective color, allowing him to manage his expression without having to worry about it.

"Based on the [Nine-Phase Diagram] of the Cursed Embryo and the Yokohama human supernatural power experiment, the other party should be a... lunatic who studies the power of mantras."

"Then, in the case of the Kyoto Commercial Building, the King of Green provided assistance to let the behind-the-scenes hatch the curse embryo taken out of [Prison Gate Frontier]..."

"So that curse embryo should also be related to the other party's research..."

Bunbu Shuhei meditated, causing the room to fall into a brief silence, and then suddenly said: "The spell of the curse embryo is not related to the transformation of the human body, is it?"

"I thought about it carefully, this possibility is very high..."

Wenbu Shuhei poured out his own analysis process in front of Xia Youjie like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and rarely stopped to leave room for people to cheer.

Xia Youjie silently listened to the other party's thoughts. He could feel that the current Bunbu Shuhei was just trying to fill up the empty silence of the room.

Finally, when Shuhei's analysis came to an end, Xia Youjie called softly, "Xiuhei."

Bunbu Shuhei paused for a moment before replying in a low voice: "Yes."

In the darkness, he closed his eyes, as if he had finally given up his powerless concealment.

"You are still more than two years away from becoming an adult." Xia Youjie's tone was natural and gentle, "You shouldn't be drinking so much."

"?" The gray-haired boy, who was ready to listen to comfort, turned his head in Xia Youjie's direction unconsciously, wanting to give him a disappointing look of suspicion.

"Conjurers should have some privileges." He subconsciously said, "Besides, doesn't Nitro usually smoke?"

"So what I'm saying is that you shouldn't drink so much, not that you are not allowed to drink." Xia Youjie walked over Shuhei Bunbube's body and confiscated the bag next to Shuhei Bunbube.

"Okay, Shuhei, sit with me for a while." He finally said.

Then the room returned to silence, only the deep and shallow breathing of the two people.

Bunbe Shuhei leaned his head back against the wall, in the darkness, he seemed to see the scene in daytime again——

The scarlet giant sword rises in the air, gorgeous and magnificent, it looks like a sword with scales hovering around and surrounded by thorns, refracting the jumping red light into the clouds...

Bunbu Shuhei knew that he did not have a phobia of giant objects.

But at the moment when he saw the red Wang Jian, he forgot to breathe, his heart beat like a drum, and his eardrums were filled with buzzing sounds, as if being repeatedly washed by the rushing blood...

He still doesn't know if there is fear in his heart.

But Shuhei Bunbu remembered the figure who told himself and his sister to live a good life, and then disappeared outside the door.

Unlike what happened when his mother died, Shuhei Bunbube did not personally experience his father's death, nor did he see the last side of the man who propped up the sky in his childhood.

Before that, Bunbu Masaki was living a normal life and saying goodbye normally...

Then never came back.

Such an abrupt farewell made Shuhei Bunbube, who had faced his mother's death, lack some sense of reality.

It's a different kind of sadness.

It was as if part of a complete heart was suddenly erased by an irresistible force. There was pain, but it was also accompanied by a strong emptiness.

Bunbu Shuhei's grief for his father has always been unresolved.

Every time the gust of wind swept by, there would always be a shrill scream in the hollow formed by the missing part of the heart.

But when the new Scarlet King Sword ascended to the sky, Bunbu Shuhei really realized——

My father left me because of something like this.

He should have been unwilling, he should have resented, and he could even disregard the so-called morality and blame the new Scarlet King for no reason...

But Shuhei from the Ministry of Education also learned that the new Red King is his friend Zhou Fangzun.

Therefore, he can only resent fate helplessly.

Then, Bunbu Shuhei suddenly understood that the Green King is better than water.

As Shuhei Bunbe, who has abilities beyond ordinary people, it is easy to think that "if my father had the same power as I do now, maybe he would have survived."

And after experiencing the [Kagutsu Meteor Crater Incident], and then awakened as the Green King, Bishui Liu will definitely think of it more easily than him——

If all people had my power, then sad events would not happen...

Wenbu Shuhei even thought that he was so despicable for forcibly changing Xia Youjie's goal of "wanting to destroy all ordinary people"...

Because now he also wants to desperately join the Green King's side...

"It is impossible for everyone to gain power to make people happy." Bunbu Shuhei said again.

This time, he was trying to convince himself.

Xia Youjie could vaguely understand Bunbu Shuhei's emotions, so he just put his arms around the shoulder of the gray-haired boy silently, telling him with body signals that I am here.

"The most capable people in the family of the magic world, the result is not a conspiracy, a mess." Wenbu Shuhei talked a lot tonight, expressing his opinions in a rambling manner.

"Also, in the face of an accident, instead of solving the source of the accident, expecting the victim to have power so that he can protect himself when the accident happens, this is too much..."

Xia Youjie listened quietly all the time, and then gave a timely and appropriate response when Shuhei Wenbu needed it.

With someone listening by his side, it seemed that he could clear his mind and sort out his emotions faster than thinking alone. Shuhei Bunbu gradually stabilized his emotions, no longer needed to pretend, and his tone became natural.

Although the alcohol content of the beer is not high, it also contains real alcohol. After a while, the voice in the dark room gradually faded away.

lower down...

The two teenagers didn't know who fell asleep first.

***

"Brother Zun decided to call his clan [Bawuluo]." In the morning, Xia Youjie opened his eyes, and saw Wenbu Shuhei sitting in the same position as last night, swiping the terminal.

Wenbu Shuhei apologized to Zhou Fangzun for releasing the other party's pigeons yesterday, and before the representative of [Feishiin] came to the scene, he popularized knowledge about the king's inner world to Zhou Fangzun.

"Homra?" Xia Youjie responded in a daze, "The bar?"

"That's right, Brother Kusanagi's bar." Shuhei Bunbu nodded, "After Brother Zun awakened yesterday, the King of Gold should contact him so that he can sign the [120 Agreement]."

"Brother Zun will probably designate the surrounding area as his own territory." Shuhei Bunbu clicked on the map, "Jie may consider asking his parents to move here."

"With the deterrence of the king, the upper echelon should not dare to do anything to them."

"Xiuhei?" Xia Youjie came to his senses seeing that Shuhei from the Ministry of Education hadn't changed from last night, but had returned to work.

"Ah, I'm fine." Bunbu Shuhei maintained the sitting posture of last night, and only used his right hand to swipe the terminal page.

"It's been so many years since I set my goal. I've figured it out long ago when I should have figured it out. Occasionally turning around can be regarded as relaxing."

You call the state last night relaxed?Xia Youjie has black lines all over his head.

Moreover, if he really wants to get away, why is Shuhei still in the same state as last night?

Xia Youjie was about to stand up, but his expression froze.

Bunbu Shuhei turned to look at him calmly.

"Is your body numb? Me too."

***

"The Dresden Slate has chosen a new Red King." The young man in the wheelchair looked at the sword of Damocles hanging high in the sky in the surveillance video.

Since the awakening of the new Scarlet King is outside his monitoring range, Bi Shui Liu is not sure of the specific identity of the other party for the time being.

"But we'll find out soon." The parrot with bright green shiny feathers flapped its wings and followed the formally dressed queue in the [Royal Pillar Tower].

They were going to receive a king who was equal to the king of gold, so they were extraordinarily solemn and respectful.

"The Red King is born, and we must prepare for the birth of the Blue King soon." His collaborator with a suture on his forehead interjected, "The Red King, who represents 'freedom' and 'violence', can Being used, but the King of Blue who represents 'Order' is not so easy to deal with."

"After Yu Zhangxun's death, Scepter4 has long been a mess, and now it is attached to [Feishiyuan] to survive." The man dressed as a priest with a cigarette in his mouth said, "Even if a new King of Blue is born, how to clean up the mess?" A mess is still a problem."

"There's plenty of time."

The young man in the wheelchair, after seeing the red-haired young man in the video, called up relevant information.

"Zhou Fangzun..." He sighed slightly after seeing the other party's relationship, "It seems that the goal is not feasible."

"Who?" The collaborator turned his head to look at the screen, but frowned unconsciously because of the [Spell Manipulation] that had caused him countless troubles for thousands of years.

"Is this the person Liu has never had a chance to contact?" the Ash King Panzhou Tianji asked with great interest.

"Yes." The Green King nodded, "The target is very cautious. After knowing my existence, he completely avoided using the network to exchange valuable information."

"And he is good at avoiding surveillance, and he is always wary of Kotosaka."

"The contact plan has never been able to proceed."

"Why are you interested in him?" Ling Suo probed.

"The people who lost everything in that disaster are all my compatriots." Bi Shuiliu replied seriously.

"The target cooperates with the King of Gold, and makes good friends with the King of Red." Resuo reminded maliciously.

The two kings present did not comment on this.

"Is [Prison Gate Frontier] still not ready?" the Green King asked.

"After the King of Gold found out that the cursed object was stolen, he strengthened the supervision of the cursed object. So far, I haven't got any information about the storage location of [Prison Gate Frontier]," Ron Suo explained.

"Lack of [Prison Gate Frontier], the plan to exclude the influence of the King of Gold cannot be carried out." Bi Shuiliu said in a flat tone.

"The King of Gold is already an old man." Lin Suo hinted that he hadn't got the [Prison Gate Frontier] yet, and even if he got it, he didn't want to share it with the Green King.

"As long as the golden king dies, even if the blue king is born, the relationship between the green and red kings can be provoked, and our goal can be achieved in this way."

The author has something to say:

Regarding the double defection of the IF line, Guguwhale originally thought of it as a benefit, and released it when the author had something to say, but only recently did I know that if the author had something to say, the text would be reported and asked to change the text...

So Cuckoo Whale has created a new pre-acquisition of the IF line, and then it will be a free new short story~

Click on the author's column to see the pre-acquisition of the IF line episode, friends who are interested can bookmark it~

Of course, it would be even better if friends can look at other advance collections, or bookmark the author!If you do both, please catch the cuckoo whale's crazy comparison~

muah!
