[Exorcist Boy] The whole world thinks I'm a cannon fodder

So we, a group of six people, were forcibly divided into three groups by force majeure. The number of people was surprisingly even, and they were all in groups of two.

But to say the worst, it must be us.

After all, who would have thought that it would take half a day at most to go back and forth, not to mention that such an accident would happen in an ordinary battle against small soldiers of the LV.1 level, so when the rabbi and I came out, it was so light here.

To put it bluntly, we have a special tacit understanding. There is only one person, and nothing else—what else, let alone the wallet. Tom didn't bring any.

Now it's all right, I can't get in touch with the big team.

"...Don't panic," I calmly took out the windbreaker pocket of the exploration team, and then took out something, "We still have this."

"This is... the button on the team uniform?"

"Yeah." I nodded, turned over the finely crafted silver button in my hand, and showed the rabbi the English on the back——

Cecilia Marian

is my name.

Although generally speaking, I feel physically uncomfortable when I see my full name, and I didn’t leave any good memories when I took this apart, but there is a particularly significant advantage of this thing, which is enough to overshadow other Everything is lacking.

That's right - it's worth the money.

"But, this kind of name can't be used, right?" The rabbi immediately understood what I wanted to do.

"Ah, this is a special souvenir, the point is these."

This time I took off the windbreaker and shook it, and poured out a lot of small pieces of silver.

The rabbi was stunned: "...You, are you tearing down the regimental uniform?"

"It's all melted, nothing wasted." I proudly puffed out my chest, thought for a while, and added, "Anyway, it's too tattered to wear."

"It's tattered? Ceci, what have you been through... Well, no matter what, judging from the current situation, these are considered life-saving money."

"I just don't know if it's enough for us to go to the big cities where the exploration troops are stationed, but it doesn't matter if it's not enough."

"Huh? Why doesn't it matter? Wait, are you staring at me?"

"To be precise, I'm staring at your team uniform."

The rabbi realized what I meant a little later, the little child's eyes were rounded, and he immediately took a few steps back with his regimental uniform: "Don't do this, Sisi! We can talk and discuss." ! Mine is a zipper, if you take it off, you won’t be able to wear it right away?”

I looked him up and down a few times, with a shocked expression on my face: "Don't you think you can still wear what you are doing now?"

The rabbi choked: "..."

But in the end, I withdrew my evil claws from him for the time being, because we agreed that he would contribute again when the existing silver pieces were used up and there was no other way out.

As a matter of urgency, I should really think about how to get out of this deep mountain and old forest.

In this way, we looked for a direction, walked for a while, and rested for a while. Finally, there is no unparalleled road. We succeeded in rushing to a small village hidden in the depths of the dense forest before sunset.

And as soon as I entered the village, I saw a small clothing store.

The plainly dressed young clerk was lying on the counter drowsy. He was surprised when he saw us. After talking with him, he found out that they hadn't been here for a long time.

But after being surprised, her gaze became a little subtle. During the conversation with me, she kept looking at the "weirdly dressed" rabbi.

No way, I had no choice but to make up a touching story on the spot, "The child ran away wearing his father's clothes and was abducted by human traffickers. Fortunately, the brave old mother persisted in chasing after him and outwitted the bad guys before successfully saving his son." .

Rabbi: "..."

The rabbi was unprepared, and just after listening to the beginning, he was choked and coughed.

"Huh? So the current situation is that you have successfully defeated the traffickers who carelessly underestimated the enemy, but because you are not familiar with the terrain here, you accidentally got lost in this deep mountain and old forest?"

"Exactly." I patted the rabbi on the back and nodded modestly.

"So that's the case. Speaking of which, I thought you were the elder sister of this child. Didn't I expect it to be the mother's? Hug, I'm sorry! I mean, you look too young, and you feel like you are still 20 years old. It looks like she hasn't arrived, and she doesn't seem to be a mother at all."

"It's okay, after all, many people have misunderstood it," I continued to make it up, "But don't look at me like this, in fact, I am already over [-] years old this year. I think I was still young when I first met my family. Young..."

Well, for the sake of the rabbi coughing wildly and dragging me desperately, I brought back the long-lost topic in time.

"——there is no need to mention the past, in fact, what I wanted to ask just now is, are there any clothes here that this child can wear?"

"Ah, yes, but . . . are you not going on with the story?"

How is this still addictive?

Taking advantage of the time when the rabbi went to change clothes in the back room, I was idle, so I simply picked out some clothes for myself.

A few minutes later, the clerk stared dumbfounded at the dark brown cotton dress, bright gold cape, earth tone T-shirt and dark pink coat I had chosen from thousands of choices, and opened his mouth: "Uh..."

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing, I just didn't expect to look so old - wearing such a calm color on your body will not hinder your youth at all." The young clerk's sluggishness was filled with a strange eagerness, hesitating for a moment, cautiously He asked eagerly, "Well, can I take the liberty to ask Madam your usual maintenance secrets?"

Maintenance tips?

Eat, sleep, read notes and fight demons?

No, no, if you say that, the persona of "ordinary but great mother" will be lost.

So I calmly brewed for a while, showing the expression of Master when he pretended to be a boss in front of outsiders, and revealed two words inscrutablely: "Love."

"Oh——" the clerk suddenly realized, and he didn't know what he had made up in his head, and he nodded vigorously with a face full of approval.

I:"……"

I can't bear to look at this appearance of believing everything.

But I don’t know if it’s because it’s getting smaller. The speed at which the rabbi changed his clothes plummeted. I made up several short stories for the clerk in the early stages of women chasing men and later men chasing women. Only then did I see him come out after changing clothes. .When his eyes touched the newly bought coat on my body, he was slightly stunned.

I didn't care, and directly put all the clothes on us that could reveal our identity as exorcists into the bag provided by the clerk, paused, and put several layers of newly bought clothes on top as a cover.

Now, unless the devil has clairvoyant eyes, or the clerk is a devil in human skin, otherwise the enemy's logic of "it's not good to be holy and only recognize the team uniform" will definitely not be able to find us.

Before leaving, the clerk, who hadn’t heard enough stories, said goodbye to me reluctantly, and even gave the rabbi several pieces of milk candy: “Children, from now on, please obey your mother and don’t run away from home again. "

Rabbi: "..."

Me: "Pfft——"

The rabbi immediately puffed up his bun face and glared at me angrily and embarrassingly.

I suppressed a smile for a second, and blinked at him as if nothing had happened.

After we got out of the store and made sure that the clerk could no longer hear us, the rabbi looked up at me: "By the way, Sisi..."

Me: "Don't run away from home again, kid."

Rabbi: "..."

Rabbi: "Hi!"

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss," I immediately admitted my mistake, "I'm just——Grandma was just joking."

"Ah - too much Sisi!"

"I was wrong! I promise not to make trouble this time!"

"You should be more convincing! That's right, it's you, don't look at me with that kind expression again, hurry up! Come on! Play! I'm not a real kid anymore!"

Me: "Hey, it's out, it's out, this time it's really out."

The rabbi raised his face and stared at me seriously for a few seconds before he sighed like an adult and generously decided not to bother with me.

Then he paused, and stretched out his short arms towards the bag in my hand: "Well...give it to me."

I:"……"

Wake up, friend, do you still think this is in the past?

Stop having unrealistic fantasies about your body shape, you are no longer the big tall guy who can kill a lot of demons with a casual swing of a hammer?

But the language is still too pale. In order to help him recognize the situation as soon as possible, I didn't say anything, and handed the bag obediently.

The moment the rabbi received the hand, his expression froze. He blinked his eyes in a daze, pulled it up with all his strength, but didn't move it, then raised it again, but still didn't move it.

Rabbi: "..."

The rabbi stopped in place for several seconds before turning his head calmly: "Sisi..."

Not that I said, this history is always strikingly similar.

In short, the few bags finally came back to me. While chatting, we looked for the small hotel that the clerk mentioned in the sunset.

"By the way, when Sisi met us before, she also called herself Allen's old mother, right?"

"...is there?" I looked at him in surprise.

"What is there? I remember it very clearly!"

But the question is not why you have to remember this kind of thing so clearly!

Um?and many more.

In connection with the context, he suddenly mentioned this, is it implying that I have a quirk in this regard?

No, the more it comes to this kind of time, the less you can show a guilty conscience.

So I raised my head and gave the answer very seriously: "Of course...it's because I have always taken care of him like an old mother."

I don't know which expression or sentence of mine pleased the rabbi. When he turned his gaze back to the front, for some reason, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up and he smiled.

Looking from here, the light of the setting sun sinking slowly in the deep purple mountain atmosphere seemed extraordinarily rich.The rose-like bright red light fell into his eyes, and as the smile gradually melted away, it seemed to dye everything around him with a warm and harmonious color that people couldn't take their eyes off.

...I didn't expect that this person has become a miniature version, and he still looks so good-looking when he smiles.

I was dazzled for a moment, but was still pulled back from my thoughts by the rabbi's voice.

"Speaking of which, when we went on missions together, Allen often mentioned Ceci."

I came back to my senses instantly, and blinked blankly: "Huh?"

Allen mentioned me to him?

Wait, he didn't say anything he couldn't say, did he?For example... When I was young, I intentionally wetted the bed in order to increase Master's workload, in order to cover up that I accidentally put too much salt in Baba's meal, I added a few tablespoons of chili sauce on a whim, in order to help Masa quit smoking. Just put her pipe... What should I do, I suddenly feel that there are too many things that cannot be said?

...It's okay, don't panic, think about it carefully, that kid Allen has never said anything bad about anyone behind his back.

Of course, Master definitely can't count.

...Well, except for Kanda.

"Allen has always said that Sisi is a very interesting person," the rabbi turned his head, and the clear green color like a lake caught my eyes unexpectedly, "and said that as long as we get along with each other a little bit, we will knew."

So you are now... get it?

No, I mean—true or not?So it turns out that the boy Allen had such a high opinion of me?

But after the shock, after thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood Allen's intentions.

For a long time, I thought I was fighting alone, but I didn't expect that Allen had worked so hard to help me secretly.

Although it may, it seems, it seems that the recommendation is not successful, the result at this moment is entirely obtained through my unremitting efforts, but!yes!Grandma will definitely appreciate this kindness!

Keep your word, ask him to eat the restaurant until it goes bankrupt next time!

——Tricking Master to pay for it.

·

All in all, what we touched was a small village that could not be named.

From my description, I can tell that it is really small.

Not only is it small, but it is also remote and undeveloped.

How specific is it?

For example, there is only one telephone in the whole village, and it is scrapped from time to time, and it is impossible to make calls at all.

I don't know if it's the rabbi's bad luck or my good luck. This is the case in several villages.

Remote, self-sufficient, with few connections to the outside world.

In this way, it was not until two weeks later that we truly left the countryside and came to the long-lost big city.

The first thing, of course, was to surreptitiously call Komui through local explorers.

"So the newcomer accidentally got the wrong medicine bottle? Then the wrong one is... With all due respect, even if you cry and rejoice that it wasn't Li Nali who took the wrong medicine, it won't change that Li Nali will kick you with black boots as soon as she goes back. This fact of yours, so please answer my question as soon as possible before that, maybe this is your last last word."

Komyi, who was crying happily: "..."

A few minutes later, I lightly cover the microphone and summarize Komui's explanation to the rabbi who has been waiting impatiently.

Generally speaking, this is a drug that is so new that it has not yet been named. As for the effect, we have already experienced it firsthand, which is to push people's biological age back to the state of four or five years old.But because it is essentially made to play, there is no need to worry about any side effects, and it will be fine after the effect of the medicine passes by itself.

"But the question is when will the effect of this medicine wear off! And to invent such a thing, those bastards in the science class are not working hard at all!"

I think if it wasn't impossible, the rabbi would have crawled down the wire and pinched him.

I tossed the question over unchanged, and paraphrased Komui's words: "He said, just wait."

"If it hasn't passed, just wait."

Rabbi: "..."

Rabbi: "It's too much! It's too much, Komui!"

"Huh? This voice? Could it be a rabbi?" Komuyi's ghostly laughter came out of the receiver immediately, "Hahahahaha, did you really turn into a child? Seriously, Ceci, I strongly recommend you to shoot A photo to cheer everyone up—no, you heard me wrong, I mean a photo for a souvenir, yes, a souvenir.”

...What a great idea, why didn't I think of it?

I just don't know if the exploration team has cameras here.

"By the way, I almost forgot - Sisi, the bookman asked me to bring you a sentence."

"Eh? Bookman?"

I subconsciously looked at the young rabbi whose hair was blown up in front of my eyes.

"What did he say?"

The rabbi who heard the key name stopped immediately and pricked up his ears.

"The bookman said: 'Miss Rausey will take care of that half-baked guy.'"

I kept holding the receiver, blinked once, and blinked again.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered what Komuy and I had revealed earlier about Shuweng’s disapproval of the rabbi’s teaming up with me.

Comparing it before and after, I always feel that the mood is very delicate.

Is it my illusion?Why is it so like the one in the novel-the old-fashioned old father has always looked down on his worthless son-in-law, and took every precaution to prevent his daughter from contacting him. Handed over his daughter with his own hands—what about the plot?

It's not easy for Shuweng, an old man. Thinking about it this way, it's simply too sad.

"Please tell Shuweng for me, and let him rest assured."

I had mixed feelings at the moment, and I just felt that I would be sorry for the current atmosphere if I didn't swear.

"Whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, adversity or prosperity, windy or rainy or cloudy or sunny along the way, I, Cecilia Marian, promise to always be by Rabbi's side, Never give up, don't let him suffer the slightest grievance."

Anyway, he would definitely give him back a healthy, fat little rabbi with no shortage of arms or legs!

Comye: "Sounds weird, but with the addition of 'till death do us part', it's kind of like a wedding vow?"

I feel compelled to thank him for his reminder: "—until death do us part."

Komyi on the phone: "..."

The rabbi in front of me: "..."

The author has something to say:

"True Fragrance" repertoire の performers:

The Stubborn Old Father——Shu Weng

The Innocent Daughter - Rabbi

The Persevering Son-in-Law - Sisi

Allen: "What about me?"

Sisi: "You should be classified as a woman's best friend. I'll let you receive a bouquet at the wedding."

Allen: "..."
