Temple and special horse racing skills

Naoya put his hands on the back of his head, said a very unfamiliar name, and explained that it was just a side room anyway, and he heard the group of people talking in private.

After speaking, he brought the topic back to himself, and said with a little pride that at his age, he could learn to use spell power to strengthen his hearing, so that he would not be backstabbed and assassinated by inexplicable people in the future.

"...Isn't that guy bought as a conjurer against Six Eyes?"

Shir asked.

"It's about the same, but now it's probably confirmed that she can't beat Six Eyes in a one-on-one battle, but she is a woman after all, and the Chanyuan family will not lose."

Naoya's tone carried the kind of naive cruelty unique to children: "I heard from them that the upper echelons of the magic circle are also very concerned about this kind of power. If you send it to marry some important person, the Chanyuan family may be able to do it. Get a nice profit."

"Of course, it's not impossible to use it to marry the Yusan family. The Chanyuan family has a good relationship with the Kamo family. Although the relationship with the Gojo family is not good, if you are determined to repair it, it may not be impossible. Her talisman skills are not bad. It’s not a great spell, but the Kasaki family is also a family of conjurers with some roots, maybe the next generation can inherit something useful.”

He couldn't even understand what a "marriage" is, and he simply used a new vocabulary he just heard to show off to Shi Er. If the other party was willing to listen to him, he didn't mind talking more. Shier's impression points.

But Shi Er didn't show the expression like those family members gossiping, he frowned, as if he was listening to some outrageous news: "Why is it still related to the Wutiao family?"

"After all, the Wutiao family now has a new unlimited Six Eyes, and some peacemakers will think that this is more beneficial."

Naoya replied: "But this kind of thing depends on what the old man wants."

Shi Er felt a little unbelievable until he walked into the courtyard. It was indeed difficult for him to associate the word Kabuki with marriage—in a sense, this guy seemed to be something different from human beings. When he was young, he was not like a child, but when he grew up a little bit, he was also far from the women he knew.

Ah Jing is already ready to go, wearing a dark blue sailor suit and short skirt, and looks no different from ordinary students from the outside: "Let's go! Today's tasks are all near Kyoto. You don't have to travel far, and you can solve them in a day."

Shi Er seemed a little absent-minded, he nodded, and let the other party pat a talisman on the back of his hand.A thin layer of spell power covered his arm, enough to cause him to take magic damage when he violently beat the spell spirit with physical attacks—this is a new vocabulary she has learned recently, and she doesn't know what is popular in school now thing.

"When do you plan to pay off the old man's debt?"

"The right time."

"...Don't you know what they're going to do to you next?"

Shir couldn't help but ask.

"What to do? I shouldn't be life-threatening for some time to come."

Ah Jing blinked, but didn't understand what the other party meant: "Besides, Naohiko and the others' provocations haven't happened for a long time, and they should have suffered a long time ago."

"..."

Shi Er was silent for a while, he felt that this matter was a little hard to explain, at least he couldn't ask her openly "what do you think about the fact that you are about to be married?"

Because he found that with this guy's values——with the values ​​of "after weighing the pros and cons, he came to the Chanyuan's house calmly", she might not necessarily reject this matter.

In fact, this is a very simple misunderstanding.

In order to make predictions in the future, something must be "highly likely to happen" in the future: such as the upcoming assassination, the impending exorcism of the curse, and the doomed final exam—as for the four in the family The gossip that has been spread all over the world does not rank at all in the "possibilities of the future".

The preliminary preparations required to facilitate a marriage are more complicated, and the Zenyuan family who has a cumbersome process is naturally unavoidable. In addition, some people expect her to "marry her own family one day and officially be included in the Zenyuan family". There is a high probability that unfounded rumors will disappear.

In the future that is coming and going again and again, this level of speculation can only be regarded as noisy noise.

"Shir?"

Aware of the silence of the other party, Ah Jing asked again: "Did something happen to you? If you have any undecided matters that need to be discussed, you can just talk to me--I will leave this level of magic power to spare." from."

"...No, nothing."

Shi Er rebuffed lightly: "Hurry up and finish the work."

There is no need to worry too much, Shier tried to convince himself: After all, she will mediate the best.

Compared with the unreasonable gossip, Ah Jing's recent work focuses on becoming an official chess player and magician.

In comparison, the former is difficult and the latter is not so difficult.

"We need to get three wins in the qualifiers, and then go to the official exam."

Ah Jing introduced the passing criteria of Go to Shi Er: "It is a big challenge of physical and mental strength."

"...It's obvious that the grading of the conjurer is more troublesome."

Shi Er commented: "After all, if you want to exorcise the curse spirit on your own, no one can help you."

She is not old enough to be able to enter the Conjuration College, and she has no plans to study there in the future.Generally speaking, the sorcerers trained by Yusanjia will obtain the certification called "Special Level Conjurer", which means that they are not completely affiliated with the conjuration world, and it will cost more to hire them to exorcise the curse commission.

For example, Zenyuan Jinyi, he became a special first-level conjurer very early, and now he is also acting in the "Bing" team, an upper-level organization that stays in the body.

Most conjurers will probably stay at the third or second level throughout their entire lives, while fourth level magicians are generally assigned to clerical jobs or non-combat member positions, and level one is already a leader in various senses By.

"Which qualification do you intend to apply for?"

Shir asked.

"Especially the second-level conjurer, if you work hard, you can still do it."

"...You are only a little older."

"The spell spirits in the future are much more dangerous than they are now. This level is like the iterative SR in a card game."

Ah Jing replied nonchalantly: "When deciding whether to become Yagumon or Tyrannosaurus, Red Lotus Knightmon will appear in a few years."

"...Can you say something I can understand?"

"It would be nice for Shi Er to read more comics."

The auxiliary supervisor in charge of driving is in his 40s. When he heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and joined the conversation while holding the steering wheel: "My daughter also likes to watch these, and bought a lot of things called figures... Ah, Miss Hejing, what age are you?" It's about the same size.

"Is she also a conjurer?"

Ah Jing asked.

"No... In fact, I am the only one in my family who can see the curse spirit. I usually tell my family that I am working as a clerk, and I can only do small things to help big shots."

The other party showed a somewhat embarrassing smile: "It's just barely visible, and there is no spell, that's all there is to it."

"They may not be completely ignorant."

Ah Jing pointed to the cross pendant hanging in front of the car, as well as the soy bean blessing bag hanging on the car key of the other party, which was used for praying on Setsubun Day: "Although from a religious point of view, it's a random belief, but it's all Ordinary people can come up with ways to pray for peace and the evil spirits to disperse."

Shi Er tilted his head slightly, and also noticed these small decorations in the car.People from the Yusan family often lack faith and reverence. Even if they seem to be compatible with gods and Buddhas, it is just a traditional technique, and true piety can be said to be far from it.

Ordinary people who cannot see the curse spirit can only seek comfort from imaginary gods.

The atmosphere in the car is great. This guy has always been good at saying comforting words when he is interested in managing interpersonal relationships. It seems that he has a special talent in this area... But if he can see the future, this should be a matter of course, Shi Er thought. .

He sat beside her, silently acting as a panting magic tool, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of her stretching out her hand to twist her long hair, puffing her face and worrying about "should I change my hairstyle?"

"What do you think Shir?"

"……what?"

"Hair, isn't it difficult to move around with long hair? There is also the risk of being caught by the curse spirit... But if you want to cut it short, you still have to make up your mind."

She looked as if she was genuinely troubled by this matter: "Otherwise, it's better to dye it."

"Can't you make up your own mind?"

"That's why I want to refer to Shi Er's opinion. I want to ask you to help me from a male point of view."

Ah Jing twisted the ends of her hair: "Is Shier a long-haired school? Or a short-haired school?"

"...I don't have any particular preferences."

"People will always have some preferences."

The other was silent, waiting for a response, as if his opinion really mattered.

He thought of those family members who were whispering under the eaves, like the background boards of a Buddhist monastery, and their hair tied behind their heads, and said, "Then cut it off."

"Okay."

Ah Jing snapped his fingers and directed the driver to change the route: "Go to the nearest barber shop."
