Curse of the Eye of the Dead

That night, Mr. Curse Spirit restrained his aura, and found Tsurumi Toranojiro like a non-existent ghost.

Under normal conditions, the dangerously sharp tails of the bones sway, and the vertebrae collide with each other while moving, making a crackling sound.

"I decided to take her away."

After making up his mind, the humanoid curse with dark skin and a decadent expression spoke concisely in a deep voice.

Toranojiro gave a relieved smile.

.

Tsurumi Uo and Tsurumi Chacha cannot stay in the magic world.

Although Uno has absolute confidence in his own strength, he still wants to give Chacha a happy and peaceful childhood as much as possible before Chacha grows up.

As for a super-level spell spirit with a special physique, the best way to live a stable life is to stay away from the world of spells.

But as a super magic spirit... it is not easy to raise a child healthy in human society.

After all, ordinary people can't see the curse, even if they can see it, Uo, who has obvious inhuman features, will scare the other party.

Fortunately, Uno was able to completely eliminate his terrifying aura and become as non-existent as air, so he didn't have to worry too much about being discovered by the magician... This is probably the only good news.

But how to make money, how to find a place to live, how to educate children, how to deal with Chacha's identity... are all extremely realistic problems that make even a powerful mana spirit feel thorny.

The choice of working in izakaya, factories, and shops, which requires contact with people, can be completely ruled out.

Do your old job, go to the black market to take over the black job of exorcising the curse... This is tentatively classified as a backup plan that will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, Uo has been dead for 50 years, and the rules and conditions of the black market have changed a long time ago. In addition, Uo has no way to contact intermediaries in this situation, and he will not use modern networks to find employers for himself. It is easy to be accidentally noticed by the magic circle because of behavioral problems...too much trouble.

And stealing while ordinary people can't see, or being a killer is quite simple to him, but it is completely illegal to get money... It was never considered by the gentle Mr. Curse Spirit from the beginning .

In addition, there is the most distressing point - Chacha is only four years old, it is impossible for him to leave the child at home alone.

In summary.

What Uno needs is a "legal job" that "does not require contact with people" and "can make money while raising children at home".

... so tricky.

Toranojiro was very willing to bear their living supplies, but Uo couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

After all, he is the one who makes the final decision, and he is the one who wants to take Chacha away from the environment where he has no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, he must bear the responsibility of raising Chacha himself.

This is his responsibility.

Uogi, who always had a decadent look on his face, gave a serious look.

His face was solemn, and his bony tail tapped the ground in annoyance, racking his brains for future livelihood issues.

.

2008, fall.

Mr. Curse Spirit's plan to leave home was forced to be postponed until a week later for various reasons.

As an old antique 50 years ago, Mr. Mantra needs a certain amount of time to understand and adapt to the things and rules of this strange era.

Toranojiro prepared a thick "Instruction Manual" for Uo, which is a handwritten paper version that Uo is used to, and the old man rushed it out overnight.The sentences in the booklet are short and concise, and they have explained the new things and new rules of modern society as clearly as possible.

Uo died in 1958.In the year he died, not to mention mobile phones...not even color television, let alone the Internet.Now that 50 years have passed directly, many things are inevitably novel to him.

Fortunately, it is not completely abandoned by the times.After all, he has a good family background, and when he lived, many home appliances had appeared, and various transportation such as cars and trams were relatively complete, and Uo had basically seen it—so his adaptability was not bad.

Mr. Mantra studied hard for a week.

Slowly and jerkyly holding the flip phone in his hand and pressing the buttons, he searched out "As long as you have these few skills, you can earn money part-time at home without going out!" "In the article, he found a way to solve the most basic livelihood problems.

At the same time, his bone tail is still fully focused on rolling up the badminton racket to play badminton with Chacha.

Wait until the day when I finally leave Tsurumi's house.

Uoyu set up a formation to hide the small courtyard with his mother's grave.

He took his mother's tablet, and held Chacha whose eyes lit up when he heard that he was going to take her away to live together, and then was stuffed into a backpack by Toranojiro.

Inside were a pile of documents and the keys to a private house.

Apparently Toranojiro hadn't been idle all week.

He almost helped solve most of Mr. Curse Spirit's troubles.

"I have prepared a new identity for you, the surname has been changed to [Kitazawa], your relationship is father and daughter, and Chacha's guardian fills in your human false identity, Master Uo."

"And the house I helped buy is in another county, please rest assured, it is very safe, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the magic world... And I bought it as Mr. Usheng, the identity is right, the address of the bank card It’s also filled in, and the required identification is enough.”

"Secondly, I put enough savings in the card to last for two or three years. In addition, there is a sum of cash in the bag."

"If Tsurumi Chacha... I will let her [accidentally die] in name, and there will be only Kitazawa Chacha in the future."

Toranojiro said worriedly.

"Also, Mr. Uno, do you remember my private mobile phone number and mailing address? Do you know how to use your mobile phone to make calls? If you need my help with anything, please don't hesitate, I still have myself My personal contacts, some small things can still help."

Uno wrote down every word, and then seriously bowed his body: "I remember... Thank you, Toranojiro, I can't refuse these, I owe you a favor, and in addition, I will return the money in the future you."

"unnecessary!"

Hearing this, Toranojiro immediately raised his voice and blushed anxiously:

"You don't owe anyone, you don't owe, at least you definitely don't owe the Tsurumi family! Including me... even if you take a step back, the value of the magic tools you gave me back then is already worth these things! "

The old man's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally his lips trembled, and a trace of pain flashed across his wrinkled face.

He sighed again, and then bowed back: "It's time for you to go, Master Uo."

Uso looked at the old man calmly.

The old man is probably the only one in the Tsurumi family who, as a "knower of the truth", is willing to endure fear and appear in front of him.

It's just that no matter how close the relationship was before life, no matter how heartbroken and respected it is now, when they met again after 50 years, Toranojiro still couldn't control his instinctive fear of the super magic spirit in front of him.In particular, this special-grade spell spirit is extremely dangerous among spell spirits of the same level.

Toranojiro is one of the survivors of [that incident] 50 years ago after all.

The shadow and nightmare that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made him still admire Uo, but he also couldn't simply restrain his instinctive trembling.

It's just that this mere fear failed to overwhelm Toranojiro's self-blame and guilt for 50 years and the friendship he had with him during his lifetime.

As an elder, he bears the responsibility of the family and cannot tell the truth of 50 years ago to the public.So before Chacha appeared, he kept avoiding himself, until he finally had a chance to make amends, and mustered up the courage to do something he could do.

At this time, I am willing to contribute, and I feel guilty more than anything else.

Uzumaki understands this very well.

But he has always been one thing and one thing.

The 1.9-meter-high mantra bowed calmly. He remembered his kindness in his heart, and his eyes were still extremely serious:

"Anyway... anyway, thank you."

.

End of July 2008.

Tsurumi Chacha died for some reason.

As always, no one went to the forbidden area, and Uosu's whereabouts did not cause any splashes.

On the same day, Kitazawa Uo and Kitazawa Chacha came to the Shinkansen station.The former glanced curiously, and everything in front of him was more prosperous than the similar train station in his impression.

After leaving the back mountain, Uno was a little relieved - even after 50 years, the society he saw was not completely unfamiliar, and it could even be said that most of it was familiar.

In short, now is to tell the conductor your destination, buy a ticket, and get on the train, right?

Of course, the first step can be omitted for now.

Uo, holding Chacha and eliminating the other party's sense of existence, thought so, and then put the money in front of the conductor through the window-after the money leaves his hands for a certain period of time, he will lose the assimilation characteristics produced by long-term contact with the curse spirit , and was then seen and accepted by the other party.He didn't take the ticket either, he had already paid anyway, so he followed the signs and walked into the corresponding Shinkansen, standing in the corner all the way to his destination.

They followed the map to their new home.

The new home is in Saitama Prefecture.

It was a small, two-story wooden house with high walls and a yard.

On the form at the door is their new surname, [北泽].

The little guy stood beside Uosheng, holding the bone tail of the curse spirit tightly, raised his head and opened his warm brown eyes, and said softly, "Dad, will we live here from now on?"

"Ah."

Uzumaki nodded, then blinked slowly.

He looked down at Chacha.

"dad?"

Chacha hugged his bony tail, shouted repeatedly, her eyes were a little nervous.

According to Chacha's logic: Mr. Uno said that he would protect himself and would not leave his side. Grandpa Torajiro said that her guardian was Uncle Uno. Now Uncle Uno decided to live with her...

So rounding up means that Uncle Uno has restored his "memory"!

Uncle Uno who recovered his "memory" is my father.

Too eager for his parents, since he was a child, only respectful servants have been around him to take care of his daily life. The four-year-old little guy runs like a puppy on the road he believes in.

You can't pull it back!

Uno moved the tip of his tail, attracting the attention of Chacha who was holding his tail.

The tall and deep-featured Mr. Curse Ling stood there blankly, his wild brown skin and calm expression did not show any emotional changes.

It wasn't until five seconds later that Uosu made another slow "um" in a low and slightly hoarse voice.

Chacha looked up: "Dad?"

"……Um."

The little guy immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Like a puppy wagging its tail happily, it repeated again and again: "Daddy!"

"Yeah." Uzumaki answered patiently.

One person and one curse spirit stepped into their home together.

.

When he moved in, Uo was still in a confused adaptation period.

Unlike him who doesn't need to eat or drink, Chacha is a human being, and there are too many things to worry about taking care of a four-year-old child.

But Uno almost never cooks by himself, nor does he buy vegetables.

Fortunately for the latter, it is good to go to a place like the supermarket where the price is clearly marked, calculate the price by yourself, put the money in the cashier and get the change yourself.But the former really went through an ordeal.

It can be half-cooked from the beginning, to over-cooked but tasteless... Gradually, it becomes not unpalatable. Uosheng has worked hard with that decadent face.Chacha is very supportive every time, and she has a very good physique at a young age—the proof is that she has never had diarrhea.

And some things are not very good at using, such as a washing machine, which button should be pressed to run it, how much laundry detergent should be put in it... He couldn't come to a conclusion after reading it for a long time, and after washing it by hand for several days, he managed to find a used one from the Internet. illustrate.

Therefore, this scene often happens in the Kitazawa family——

The tall Mr. Mantra and the little Chacha often stand together, like a huge Tibetan mastiff and a small teacup dog, tilting their heads and staring at something thinking or dazed.Then the black-skinned and white-haired mana spirit put forward his opinion solemnly, and the four-year-old Chacha also answered softly and seriously.

.

It was already a month later when life finally came into order.

Working to earn money to raise children... and saving money to pay off debts are also on the agenda of course.

However, according to Uno's requirements-jobs that can make money at home and do not need to contact people at all, it is really rare in the past few years.

Through layers of screening, plus consideration of Uosheng's personal ability...

For the fields he can get involved in at present, the best choices are articles in various journals and a short call for papers column.

After this kind of one-time submission is successful, you can ask the other party to send the remuneration directly or transfer money to the card.It can very effectively avoid or reduce the possibility of meeting people directly.

However, there are also disadvantages... First of all, the income is extremely unstable. Although the amount of manuscript fees per thousand words given by well-known journals is quite considerable, at the same time, the review of manuscript quality is also extremely strict, even if an article is accepted by luck. , does not mean that the next one will win the bid.

Therefore, the number of people who want to make a full-time living on this can only be regarded as a minority.

After all, it takes a lot of time, energy and aura to create something like this.If the writing is not good and if it is not accepted, there will be no manuscript fee, and the cost will be in vain, and the psychological pressure will be great.

However, let’s take one step at a time.

At least this road is undoubtedly extremely feasible for the current Uosheng, and the initial funds prepared by Toranojiro for them can last for a while.

What's more, he only needs to feed Chacha.As a super-level mantra, Uo is completely fine if he does not eat, drink or sleep as long as his mana is not exhausted.

He can do housework, buy things and take care of Chacha during the day, go to work after Chacha goes to bed, and play with the little guy when Chacha wakes up...

Then an infinite loop.

From full-time househusband during the day to full-time writer/painter at night, the 24-hour schedule is full, and I will never leave work.

Uno had a decadent face, taking it for granted: as a mantra, he had to take advantage of the mantra, so there was no problem with his thinking.

Yes.

Mr. Mantra has a foundation in literature and painting, and to be precise, his talent is not bad.

The general knowledge of literature was taught by my father, and the basics of painting were learned from my mother.Uo has studied with the latter for much longer than the former, after all, his father died when he was five years old.If it weren't for this, Uo would probably not have been brought back to Tsurumi's house, nor would he have become a magician.

After the death of his father, Uo was trained as a magician, and his literary level was limited to the level of self-study... He himself is not quite clear to what extent he has reached now.

However, being able to recognize full characters, write characters, and draw pictures... already has the basic conditions for creating on these two roads.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

[Spell File]

Uo was born in Showa 12 and died in Showa 33 at the age of 21.

After 50 years of autism, it is now a 71-year-old antique.

After becoming a curse spirit, she has a decadent and paralyzed face all the year round, reticent to speak.

But that doesn't seem to be the case during his lifetime.
