Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Kei never thought it would be such an answer.

Although it was equally absurd, but because he didn't expect too much, this answer was much better than what Huisuo had imagined, so that he was still calm and rational now.

But this "much better" is only compared with the "worst".

From the perspective of children, it is still not out of the category of "bad".

Kei inevitably made comparisons with this man: If it was Usheng's father, he would never do this.

Even though he was out of touch with the times and out of tune with the world at first, Usei will work hard to get in, to learn, to take responsibility, to raise Chacha and the children he adopted later, and to educate them properly.

...But at the same time, Kei is also very clear that people cannot be generalized.

There are fundamental differences in the growth environment between Usheng and Shier.

The former was raised with the love of his mother, Sachiko. The mother's love and rational education kept Uo from going on the wrong path.

And because of his powerful technique, he has always been admired and loved by others, and he has a higher starting point that can flex his muscles.

The latter is not.

Hui knew early on that the world was not fair.

——It will always be much harder for people at the bottom to climb up than those who are born with an advantage.

Self-made self-made inspirational stories can become inspirational stories precisely because everyone understands the hardships and difficulties, so they are praised.

And those more, who fell halfway due to lack of good luck, and those who didn't get up from the beginning to the end, were just forgotten and rotted quietly under the mud.

It's like the corpses Chuya and Akutagawa brothers and sisters saw in the slums in the past and never had a second day.

Hui didn't know what Fuheshier had experienced in the past.

But this kind of fragmented personality visible to the naked eye and the terrible and different behavioral cognition of ordinary people, each reveals a fundamental distortion.

In this twist, the only thing a helpless man can do is push his child away from him.

——If you leave my side, you will have the hope of getting better.

This guess made Hui take a deep breath.

The young man frowned irritably, his beautiful green eyes full of complexity.

Hui finally muttered: "...It's still too bad."

Shi Er turned his head: "Facts have proved that my choice is correct. Didn't you grow up very well?"

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Hui retorted unhappily, "I didn't go astray, it was purely because of my luck, if it wasn't for Jin Meiji and my father, I would definitely have turned into a very bad look."

No one knows better than Hui what kind of character he was in the past.

——Suspicious and distrustful of others, self-deprecating and not looking forward to the future.

"That's it." Shi Er took the conversation slowly, "Then you are much luckier than me, that's good."

He would not regard the "father" in Hui's mouth as himself, just as he would basically never say that Hui was his son to outsiders.

Hui said, "You're terrible."

"……Um."

Shi Er responded, and then quietly turned to look at the boy's side face.

Although Hui was still very upset, at least she didn't intend to leave because of this.

Being able to chat with Kei until now is like a miracle.

Shi Er thought about it, then hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "...Sorry."

Hui turned to look at him.

Sorry for the 14 year old who has no idea what this is about.

But his dissatisfaction and irritability were indeed calmed down in this apology.

Yi Gu hasn't come back yet, Hui continued the conversation calmly after being silent for a long time.

"Hey, what is the Zen garden?"

"Why ask this?"

"Long-winded, you said you would answer the question well?"

"Tsk, in short, it's a place where magic is paramount..."

.

...Yi Guyoutai and three students of the same grade wandered outside for four or ten minutes, and then tiptoed back to the dormitory after eating.

Maki, who had no intention of going back immediately, stuck to the door to eavesdrop. Gouju and Panda also stuck to the door in various poses, with extremely serious expressions.

The door was completely occupied, and Yi Gu couldn't squeeze in, so he could only squat on the side and wait for the result with his harmless eyes drooping like a large dog.

indoor.

"After all, why did you name me that? The same word, even the pronunciation of kei is much better than the pronunciation of Megumi... No, it's all the same bad taste, you don't even know whether I'm a boy or a girl Don't you know?"

"...It's not that bad." Shi Er obviously didn't really want to answer this question, after all, he was a little embarrassed.

"reason."

Tian and Tyrant were silent, he pinched the back of the white dog's neck that was already lying flat in his arms, and raised the dazed little white up, blocking Hui's sight of complaining.

Shir: ...or I can use "I can't remember the man's name at all" as an excuse.

But I always feel that if I answer this way, I will be beaten in the next second, and then the conversation will be officially ended.

I don't really want to end, so I have to answer well...but how should I say it?

The awkward adult had a terrible headache.

Hui means "favor".

When his wife was still alive, Shier really regarded the newborn child as a "favor", so he subconsciously chose this feminine name.

The natural and gentle wife did not deny it either, but smiled happily while holding the child.

It was the only bright memory of Shire's ridiculously miserable life.

But can't tell.

It sounds a little too hypocritical.

But it doesn't work if you don't answer.

Just when Shi Er was so annoyed that his expression was all tangled up, the dog in his hand, which was used as a shield, suddenly turned into a black shadow and fell to the ground—the little shikigami lifted the spell.

Shi Er, who was once again exposed to Hui's vision, said subconsciously: "...that was taken by your mother for you."

"Mom?" Hui was taken aback.

Shi Er, who naturally lied, continued slowly: "Well, she said, you are our "favor". "

This statement should also be correct.

That sun-like woman who can love even a rotten person like herself is also happy for the birth of a child.

Moreover, I have already used the word "we", so it is not a lie.

The implications of that are -- I think so too.

Shi Er quibbled in his heart.

Hui's eyes widened slightly when he got the answer, and his cheeks suddenly felt a little hot.

He has never met his biological mother, but because of Shi Er and Tsu Miki's mother, Kei doesn't have much expectation for it.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

"grace"……?

mean me?

"Where's Mom? Why haven't I seen it?"

"In her words, she died not long after you were born, the cause of the disease."

Wheaton paused, "Then... what kind of person is she?"

Shi Er: "She is an ordinary person, and she is also the best woman in the world."

After a moment of silence, she added: "She has been looking forward to your birth."

……

Huiben thought that the results of today's conversation were enough.

——Being able to know that she was not abandoned because of cumbersome and disgusted relationship has made Hui feel relieved.

It's just that letting go is not the same as acknowledging.

In Hui Xin's mind now, the word "father" always corresponds to the figure of her adoptive father.

Although he still couldn't call Shier his father, nor would he call him father, but correspondingly, he no longer hated Shier.

When entering a college in the future, Hui probably will get along peacefully with the relationship between peers and teachers and students.

however.

The questioning of the origin of the name on a whim brought him unexpected joy.

...Does the mother who has never met love her too?

"grace".

Just an explanation made the boy happy.

Hui squeezed his hand nervously, hesitated for a while, "Shier, can you tell me about mother's—"

Shir suddenly stood up.

Hui subconsciously stopped talking, and looked at the other party in a daze.

Shi'er walked to the door with half-moon eyes down, and then opened the door abruptly.

Maki Goujuan and Panda, who were stacking Arhats, rushed in together. Outside the door, there was a squatting Yi Gu who silently raised his head and looked at Shi Er.

benefit:"……"

Shir: "...what are you doing?"

.

Anyway, the conversation ended unexpectedly.

.

The four people who left originally came back together.

Maki, who felt that she had hidden merit and fame, ordered all the staff to help clean up the mess after the dinner.

She didn't feel ashamed about eavesdropping, but patted Shier on the back with a smile, and whispered: "Didn't you do a good job."

Shi Er, who actually took the initiative to take this step, knocked his cousin on the head, "...tsk."

.

The next day.

After returning to Yokohama, Megumin, who went to meet with Uo first, was patted on the head by his gentle adoptive father.

"Did you have fun?"

"...Mmm." Hui nodded, and then put the cleaned bento box aside.

The young man reprimanded in a low voice: "Dad is too cunning, why didn't you tell me that guy Shir will come."

"Sorry, but if I tell you about this, you will definitely not want to go?"

"..." That's true.

"Hui, did you have a good communication with that person?" Uo was referring to Shier.

Hui nodded unnaturally, "That guy is still a rotten person, but he is a little better than I imagined, and he is not so hopeless. He can barely get along with him."

Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Hui: "And..."

"Well, what else?" Uosheng listened patiently.

Hui summoned up his courage. Although he looked calm, his eyes sparkled like a child sharing his happiness: "My name was chosen by my mother."

Kei said, but her ears turned red, "...it means 'en Hui'. "

Uno was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood his child's mood.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit couldn't help but gently touched the boy's cheek with a smile.

"Yeah, that's really nice."

.

Subsequently.

December 2017, 12, Hui's birthday.

Shi Er sent another spell tool over.

It's still a super magic tool.

"This, it's worth [-] million." Maki, who brought a classmate to visit, pointed at Shier's gift.

Megumin's expression was indescribable, and he chose the former between accepting it and returning it.

Then silently added another sum to his debt figure.

Although no one would ask him to pay it back, but for a while, he couldn't accept the other party's kindness. If he didn't do this, he couldn't accept such an expensive thing calmly.

.

2018 years.

After the winter vacation, the third year of middle school begins.

This is also Hui's last school year.

Hui, who doesn't plan to go to school, is also seriously preparing for the exam-knowledge is never too much, and he will not give up his studies easily just because he wants to become a magician.

At the end of March, Huiguo High School officially graduated.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, Uosu took his children to watch Hui's graduation ceremony and left enough photos.

During the spring break, Hui's identity information was basically handled properly and completed.

At the beginning of April, Gojo Satoru personally brought Kei to the Tokyo Conjuration High School for identity registration, and arranged for admission.

——The successor of the "Ten Kinds of Shadow Spells" left behind by the Chanyuan family has also been officially exposed under the eyes of the magic world.
