The cursed girl is not disqualified in the world

'friend? '

While I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a somewhat familiar word.

What are friends?

My thoughts sank into darkness.

"Does Aoi know that there is a story about a substitute in a certain world?"

On a sunny afternoon, the head of Ye Yue's family hugged their daughter and told a slightly fanciful foreign story.

"Substitute? What is a substitute?" The little girl who was held in the arms of Patriarch Ye Yue raised her ignorant face and stared at him innocently.

Looking at himself imprinted in the clear crystal purple eyes, Patriarch Ye Yue complied with the deepest feeling in his heart, carefully protecting his daughter in his arms so that she would not fall onto the soft carpet, although this kind of thing Even the possibility of being hypothesized will not exist.With a loving smile, he gently rubbed the top of his daughter's hair with his shaved chin, feeling her daughter's warmth, and the young father smiled even more contentedly.

"Hey, what is a substitute, father?" After only a few minutes of not getting a response from her loved ones, the little girl pursed her mouth in grievance, tugging at the corner of her father's clothes unhappily.

"Haha, don't be so anxious, Aoi, father will tell you all the stories he knows." Feeling his daughter's dissatisfaction, Patriarch Ye Yue let out a muffled laugh, then pretended to cough, and continued to tell the unfinished story connect.

The gentle voice of the young man sounded in the exquisitely decorated glass garden: "'Substitute' is a friend of human beings. Substitutes can help humans do things that humans cannot do, and human beings will also awaken because of the substitutes without realizing it. Ability. 'Stand-in' is an interdependent relationship with human beings, and no one with a stand-in will be a vulgar person, but not every human being is lucky enough to have a stand-in..."

"Then will I also have a 'stand-in'?"

The praise of the close relatives for the 'stand-in' made the little girl interested in it.

Patriarch Ye Yue continued to smile gently: "Does Aoi want friends? It's true, Aoi has never had peers around her."

The little girl just pouted: "No, I want a 'substitute', not a friend, but a 'substitute'!"

In order to prevent her close relatives from misunderstood her meaning again, the little girl deliberately repeated the three words 'want a substitute'.

Patriarch Ye Yue nodded in good temper: "Okay, okay, our Aoi wants a 'substitute', then father will help Aoi find a 'substitute' later, okay?"

The little girl was looking forward to it: "Okay!"

So, on a day in early autumn not long after, a little girl wearing navy blue shoes made of withered grass and hair like dried grass was brought to Aoi.

Patriarch Ye Yue hugged Kui, stood in front of the kneeling girl, pointed at her and said, "Kui, this is Hezi, she will be your 'stand-in' from now on."

Aoi looked down at the kneeling girl curiously, only seeing the butterfly bone on her back that was about to fly.

Aoi blinked: "She's so thin, she looks like a fallen leaf on the ground."

"After that, let Hezi eat more."

"Ah."

So, on the first day of being sold to Ye Yue's house, Hezi not only had a full stomach for the first time in his life, but also got a piece of stewed meat the size of a palm, which weighed 500 grams, more than the other servants.

That is, after the fruitful chat with Oda Sakunosuke last time, Nakajima Atsushi inexplicably fell in love with chatting with each other in his free time.

On this day, Atsushi Nakajima held the snacks he bought from outside, distributed them gratefully to other people present, and delivered the spicy curry snacks he bought specially to Sakunosuke Oda.

At the last moment, he handed over the manuscript that he desperately rushed out. Oda Sakunosuke, who was sitting quietly on a chair and feeling the beauty of life, welcomed the younger generation's feeding. He was pleasantly surprised to pick up the snack that was slightly heavier than others , thanked Atsushi Nakajima with a flat expression.

"Thank you, Don."

Atsushi Nakajima scratched the back of his head shyly: "Where, Mr. Odasaku, it's great that you like it. I'm worried that you are not used to this taste."

Sakunosuke Oda solemnly put the spicy curry-flavored snacks in the drawer, intending to take them home when he got off work. He closed the drawer: "No, no matter how you cook spicy curry, it is the best dish in the world."

Kunikida Doppo, who was furious at the side by Osamu Dazai's skipping work, said, "...Only Oda, you think that spicy curry-flavored food is delicious no matter what it is."

Oda Sakunosuke blinked dumbly: "But Dazai also said that the spicy curry is worth trying, and last time he ate ten bowls of super double abnormal spicy curry in a row."

"What?" Atsushi Nakajima felt that he had an auditory hallucination, "What is super double spicy? What ten bowls?"

Speaking of the latter, Atsushi Nakajima's voice was raised an octave abruptly by him, and he stuffed all the incredible things in his heart into the sentence.

Facing the doubts and disbelief of the younger generation, Oda Sakunosuke looked very calm, and he easily repeated what he said just now: "Dazai ate ten bowls of super-doubled spicy curry at one time last time."

Kunikida Doppo, who had a '#' on his forehead, broke the pen in his hand: "So this is why that bastard Dazai missed work for a week without reason?!!!"

"Hey!" Facing Kunikida Doppo's burning anger, Nakajima Atsushi quickly covered his mouth and physically muted himself.With his days working in the Armed Detective Agency, Nakajima Atsushi has initially grasped most people's thunder points.If you continue to ask at this time, it will definitely irritate Kunikida Doppo who is already on the verge of anger.

Facts have proved that Atsushi Nakajima's intuition is correct, because Sakunosuke Oda once again explained to Osamu Dazai without a sense of crisis why he had to eat ten bowls of super double perverted spicy curry at once.

"Dazai said, 'A person with a substitute, when in danger, the substitute will resist all dangers for the master, so I will not die'."

Kunikida Doppo slapped his hands heavily on the table, letting the neatly piled documents take off from the spot and then fall back to the original position horizontally. He tried hard to control his emotions: "That bastard Dazai is talking nonsense again, where did he get a substitute?" Ah?! If there was a substitute, would he still be absent from work for a week for no reason because he was hospitalized?!"

Oda Sakunosuke still had a calm look: "Dazai has a substitute, and I am Dazai's substitute."

"Huh?"*N

All the members of the detective agency who were silently listening to this conversation unanimously sent out question marks about whether they could accept it or not.

"What is a 'stand-in'? Is it a kind of supernatural power?" Nakajima Atsushi felt that he was really too rural, and he couldn't keep up with the trend of urban people.

The author has something to say:

The concept of 'substitute' comes from JOJO, but this substitute is not another substitute, and it will not be expanded too much, and it will not affect reading. It is a story that only exists in the story, and a memory in the memory.
