Curse of the Eye of the Dead

In February, the beginning of spring has already begun, but the temperature is still cold.

Monday attendance day.

Hui, who was born at the end of the year, has just passed his birthday in December. Now that he is six years old, he wakes up early, washes up, puts on his kindergarten uniform, eats some bread for breakfast, and finally puts on his little yellow hat. , stepped out at 07:30, ready to walk to school.

No stroller - after discovering Fu Heihui's precociousness and self-discipline, her stepmother canceled the pick-up in the stroller last year, saving a lot of money.Anyway, Hui will cover her up. If she is accidentally asked, the child will tell the teacher, "Mom sent him here, but he left early at the previous intersection not far away because of an unfavorable relationship." Pretty much the same.Therefore, it is enough for her to greet the teacher once or twice in person.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the tuition fee had not been paid in advance and there was no way to refund it, the stepmother, who was currently in economic crisis, would probably still want to drop Hui from school.After all, kindergartens do not belong to the category of compulsory education.

Tsumiki, a step-sister who is only one year older than Hui, wanted to send Hui to kindergarten, but was coldly rejected by the child with dark curly hair and green eyes.

After all, these two are a kindergarten and a first grader, and their schools are located in diametrically opposite places, and they have completely different paths. Of course, Kei doesn't want to let his sister Tsumiki, who he cares about the most, walk around... After all, the other party is not very old.

These are the last months of Hui's kindergarten life.

By the time of graduation in mid-March, Megumi Fukuro will leave kindergarten, and then officially enter the first grade of primary school in Japan at the beginning of April.

It may be a memorable event for other children... But for the young Kei, there is nothing to be happy about.

After all, although tuition and teaching materials fees are exempted at the compulsory primary education stage, meals, extracurricular activities, uniforms, and various schoolbags and stationery fees have to be paid... This is another expensive expense.

This is not optimistic about the current economic situation of the Fuhei family.

.

The Fuhei family is a reorganized family.

Hui's biological father and Tsumiji's biological mother came together on the grounds of agreeing to take care of the child together.The man married the woman.

After marriage, the stepmother handles household chores as a full-time housewife, while Hui's biological father is in charge of going out to make money... Although the man made good money and came back, after confirming that he only had a little older son who was taken care of, he completely started to lose his mind Home.It is considered diligent to be able to return once every two months.

The stepmother has a lot of opinions: What's the deal with just making money?Take me as a babysitter?

However, the man's left ear went in and the right ear went out.

For the sake of having enough money, she finally stopped talking.

But the woman never thought that her new husband would suddenly disappear and the money would be cut off.

No, to be precise, it was after the money was cut off that it was discovered that the new husband had completely disappeared.

From 06 to now 09, there has been no news for three years. *1

After a long time, even Hui, who is his own son, can no longer remember his father's appearance.

It's not that women haven't found each other before, it's just that there is no result.

She relied on the savings in her passbook for three years, and the man did not send money home for more than three years.The deposit balance gradually bottomed out, and finally reached the point that no matter how careful the calculations were, it would not be able to last for a few months.Women can no longer control their negative emotions.

A stepmother in a bad state is depressed, and strong negative emotions often attract some low-level fourth-level curses back.

It's strange that Keibu, who can "see", notices something unusual.

With the woman getting more and more anxious, the two children of Fuhei's family cleverly guessed the fact that the man didn't bring any money home.

Since that man has too many criminal records, Fu Heihui, who is precocious and loves to think in bad directions, first reacted that his homeless bastard father finally abandoned his new family and his own son, and wandered somewhere in the world. .

……bad people.

The yearning and expectation for his father had long been dissipated by the disappointment brought to him time and time again by the other party. Hui, who was only six years old and could no longer remember his father's voice and appearance, drooped his slender eyelashes, calmly Draw a conclusion.

If the father does not continue to send living expenses back, Kei is still not sure what decision the stepmother will make in the face of no income and two young children at home.

He didn't have much right to speak, and usually just cast the curse of attracting the bad-tempered stepmother back onto himself with a blank face, and then quietly took it out and threw it away.

Hui's guess: There is a high probability that he will hand over his unrelated self to the orphanage, and then leave with his biological daughter Tsumiki, right?

After all, although the stepmother didn't treat him badly, she didn't care about him either.

It would be nice if that were the case.

At least Tsumiki, who is also young, gentle and kind, can still grow up well beside her mother.

Fu Heihui, who no longer cared about her future and was waiting for her to be abandoned again, walked quietly towards the kindergarten.

.

Going out at 06:30, Uno dropped the envelope containing the manuscript of the novel into the mailbox, and then took advantage of the lack of people to go to the ingredients street to buy vegetables.

Mr. Juling returned home four or ten minutes later with a vegetable basket containing cabbage, radish, salmon, green onions, pork, raw eggs, and green beans.

Then he skillfully took off his coat and walked to the kitchen, tied an apron around his waist, and helped take out the ingredients in the vegetable basket and the cutting board of the kitchen counter at the same time with his long bone tail, and put the pan roll on the stove.

With an extra bone tail like an extra hand, the double-minded Mr. Mana Ling cooked breakfast non-stop before Chacha woke up.

Chacha's biological clock is very fixed, and she wakes up on time at 07:30.

After washing up and having breakfast, it's eight o'clock sharp.

At this point in time, Uosheng usually starts teaching Chacha how to read and write. After teaching today's lesson, he will let the children read by themselves, while he himself will start doing hygiene and housework.

The floor has to be swept and mopped, the dishes and chopsticks have to be washed, the washing machine has to be started, the clothes have to be dried, the dinner menu has to be determined in advance, today is the day to throw out the garbage, and the garbage bags must be put out in time...

However, today's chores will probably be postponed.

Uno closed the textbook, looked at the obedient child sitting at the desk reading, and touched the "question-solving book" in his trouser pocket that hadn't been handed out yet.

This is for that wild little conjurer from yesterday.

The content is detailed enough to resolve most of the wild little conjurer's doubts.

It's just not sent out yet.

When Uno expelled that inconspicuous little curse from the wild little conjurer yesterday, he left an inconspicuous mark on the child. Of course, the mark will dissipate automatically after a few days.This is a small technique Uzo adapted based on the characteristics of the spell spirit state.

Hiding and hiding, Uosheng still had the heart to let it go.

Just as I thought yesterday—although it is not possible to talk face-to-face with that child, it is still possible for Uo to quietly write down the common sense of the magic world on letter paper and send it over.

The child was quite precocious and intelligent.

If you have this stack of "question-solving books", you don't have to stumble and fumble around at a young age, and it shouldn't be difficult to gradually learn to use spell power to protect yourself.

What's more, most people will only encounter small curses around level [-] in their lifetime. Small conjurers have curse power, so they will be more sensitive on weekdays. As long as they are not reckless, avoiding risks is quite simple.

Maybe he can awaken the spell...if that child has the spell.

Mr. Mana Ling talked to Chacha who was reading in the room, and went out after nine o'clock, followed the direction vaguely indicated by the sign, and came all the way to...

kindergarten.

The extremely tall mantra with black skin and white hair stood abruptly at the entrance of the kindergarten.

His dark red eyes widened, and a trace of bewilderment and bewilderment flashed across his expressionless and decadent face.

He listened to the children's laughter from the kindergarten, and felt the visibly vibrant atmosphere. He always felt that he was out of place, and his legs were so heavy that he couldn't move at all.

Since the age of five, Manu Ling only received education related to spells from his family and never went to school.Other skills were either taught by his mother, Sachiko, or he took time out to teach himself.

So subconsciously, I never had the concept of going to school.

It wasn't until this time that he stood at the gate of the kindergarten that Mr. Undead 50 years ago came back to his senses in a daze and realized that his Chacha had actually reached the age to go to school.

It was easy to climb over the kindergarten's wall, and the curse spirit who fell to the ground walked cautiously on the edge looking for someone, and his steps were quite careful, as if a dirty and down-and-out tramp accidentally broke into a magnificent palace. It's uncomfortable to go anywhere.

While looking for someone, Uo raised his eyes frequently with a delicate mood, and carefully observed the kindergarten's facilities.

The outdoor activity place where the children stayed was not too big, but it was enough to play games. A group of children who were about the same age as Chacha gathered together in twos and threes, lively and full of laughter.

Uno has never seen other kindergartens, and he doesn't know whether this is good or not... But at least from the perspective of the curse spirit - there is no curse breath, and there is no collection of negative emotions, at least there is no need to worry too much about the treatment of children.

Seeing this group of children together in twos and threes, Uno couldn't help but think back to Chacha who was alone at home and every time he came back from going out, he would immediately run over and hug him by the tail.

At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with it, but now, when compared with these children, Mr. Mana Ling felt distressed in vain.

The world of a monster like me can only have Chacha...but Chacha's world can't be just me.

Mr. Curse Spirit's face was slumped, and his broad shoulders drooped a few degrees.At the same time, the idea of ​​letting Chacha go to school gradually became firm.

He hasn't forgotten why he came today.

Slowly walking towards the marked breath, Uo continued to look around, but he couldn't find the child he saw yesterday for a long time.

……where?

There is only such a big place in total, why can't I see the child?

Mr. Curse Spirit was confused for a long time, and after going around several times, he finally found the wild little magician he met yesterday in a remote corner where no one approached.

The other party was sitting behind the big tree, huddled into a small ball, looking at the fairy tale book expressionlessly, his beautiful green eyes were calm.

It seemed out of place with the lively and laughing children outside.

As out of place as Uo.

.

Uno, who was as non-existent as the air, stood still not far away, touching the "question-solving book" with his hands in his pockets, and looked at the child for a long time.

After a while, he took it out.

The cold wind of early spring blows quietly.

Fu Heihui raised his hand to cover his eyes, shrunk back, the book in his hand was rattled by the blowing, he let out a small "huh", and waited for the wind to stop before slowly opening his eyes, caressing the pages of the book. flat.

His small hand suddenly touched a thick letter.

"This is...?" The green-eyed child tilted his head slightly in a daze.

Turning the envelope over, a line of words was written on the other side: I avoided you yesterday, sorry.

yesterday?avoid?

yesterday……!

Fu Heihui jumped up in an instant, his big green eyes were wide open, holding the letter and book, looking around vigilantly like a cat.

No.

No.

No.

There was no sign of the gentleman.

How did the other party find him?does he know meOr is that gentleman also an employee of the kindergarten?

Hui put the letter in the book and ran out quickly, but still didn't see anyone.After asking the teacher to no avail, the green-eyed child lowered his eyelashes in a little disappointment, with a tight face, and once again shrank to a remote corner where no one visited.

He hesitated to open the letter.

There was a stack of papers inside, about six or seven sheets, filled with words.

The little guy unfolded slowly.

After seeing clearly what was written on it, he froze.

.

The Chinese characters and rare characters in the puzzle book are marked with fifty syllables... That child is very smart, so he shouldn't be unable to read.

Uo gave the envelope to the other party and left.At night, he followed the scent of the mark that had not dissipated to find it again.

Mr. Manu Ling glanced at the sign at the door, and the word [Fu Hei] was written on it.

Going around to the back, watching through the window, I happened to see Fuhei's siblings getting along - although Hui and Tsumiji were not related by blood, they were extremely close.The stern-faced, green-eyed kid is always ignorant of his older sister, Tsumiki.

At first glance, the home environment doesn't seem all that bad.

Their mother was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Uo could only see one figure, but couldn't see the other's expression clearly; and the father of this family seemed to have not returned yet.

On business trip?work overtime?

Uzumaki thought about it, then heaved a sigh of relief.

That child is too withdrawn... probably because he is too sensitive to curses.

If I can learn to use spell power and understand curses, I should be able to gradually adjust... It would be great if I could be more cheerful in the future.

Mr. Curse Spirit thought to himself, and then classified the child into the ranks of the "luckier wild little magician", and then ended his illegal stalking behavior.

I probably don't have to worry about anything in the near future... It's not good to follow quietly like this.

No one likes being followed.

Mr. Curse Spirit with a decadent face silently apologized to the child in his heart, then turned and went home, and began to pay attention to another major event that night.

——Find a school for Chacha.

Chacha has just turned five years old, and she has to be at least six years old to go to elementary school, so now there is only one choice for kindergarten.

But it's already February, and mid-March is the graduation season, so it's not suitable to join the class now.

So I can only wait for the start of the school season in April to enroll with the freshmen.

This is good news for Mr. Curse Spirit, at least he still has enough time to choose a school.

When Chacha heard that Uno was going to send her to school, she became excited.

"Is it the school like on TV?"

"Maybe it's a little different." Uno thought for a while, he looked at the anticipation in Chacha's eyes and replied hesitantly, "But it shouldn't be far behind."

"Are there a lot of kids my age?"

"Ah."

"Will they want to play with me?"

"Chacha is a good boy. If you take the initiative to make friends with them, you will definitely."

The little girl immediately cheered.

But after cheering for a while, she paused and tilted her head, as if remembering something.

"...No, I really don't want to go." Chacha hesitated for a while, shook her head, and said.

"Why?" Uzumaki was surprised.

With her hands behind her back and her head hanging down, Chacha looked at her toes, and said, "Because if I go to school, isn't there only Dad at home? No one can see you... If Dad is at home alone, he will be lonely." ?”

Chacha still remembers the loneliness that exuded from the other party when they first met.

Chacha, who is sensitive to the emotional perception of others, is impressed.

——Mr. Curse Spirit at that time looked really lonely and sad.

It's finally getting better now, and the clever Chacha doesn't want her father to return to his original appearance at all.

Mr. Curse Spirit: "..."

Mr. Curse Ling blinked slowly, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"It's just school. You go home in the afternoon. There are weekends and holidays, so you won't be separated for long. Moreover, I usually have a lot of things to do, and I can't keep up with the busy schedule."

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit spoke calmly, with a low and hoarse voice.

He tapped Chacha's forehead lightly with his knuckles, with a serious and gentle expression:

"...you won't be lonely any longer."

Every day now is warm and fulfilling, making people nostalgic.

.

Uno has visited all the nearby kindergartens in the past few days, and even took Chacha with him to visit.

Even the matter of writing was left behind by Uo.

When receiving an email from the publishing house, Uo, who was still comparing the school's facilities, didn't react for a while.

He took out his mobile phone in a daze, clicked on the email, and was surprised when he saw the sender.

[From: Qiuyue Club]

Qiuyue Society is the name of the publishing group he contributed to.

[Teacher Kakuo, hello. ]

[Not long ago, we received your submissions for the novel "Traveler's 21 Years of Experience Notes" and the short fairy tale "Treasures Given by the Gods", both of which have been approved after review. I am the editor in charge of direct handover with you in the future. ...]

The email is quite long, and the words and expressions are a bit like a newcomer.

Uosheng swept down with one eye and ten lines, and soon saw the bottom.

then.

Mr. Curse Spirit's expression was a little stiff: "..."

In a nutshell... the manuscript he submitted before has passed the review.

Uno submitted a total of three articles, all three of which passed, and the quality of the content is extremely high, especially the latest novel, the writing and plot are quite amazing, according to the editor of Pinsong - it has been well received within the publishing house .

Therefore, before the three manuscripts were officially published, the venomous-eyed chief editor of Akizuki Society immediately ordered that he be recruited as a resident writer of their publishing house before he became famous, and he would have the priority to publish the manuscripts.

This rookie editor who claimed to be from Kazuhiro Hiramatsu and a high-achieving student was entrusted with the important task of recruiting.

Editor Hiramatsu sent an e-mail with only one purpose: he wanted to come and visit Uso, and have a detailed discussion on the cooperation and the details of the article.

So I asked Uosheng when he would be free for an interview.

Ordinary people can't see or hear Mr. Curse Spirit, who can't talk to others at all: Although I am very happy to pass the trial, please contact me by email or letter, and the contract can also be processed by mail. Interview... is really not possible .

Of course, he couldn't really reply so bluntly.

Uo stared at the phone, struggling to organize his language.

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

The author has something to say:

*1 Papa Shier died in the astral body incident in 2006, and Hui Hui entered the first grade of elementary school at the age of 2009 in 6, and there was an interval of three years.

In Huihui's original book, it was said that his parents disappeared not long after he entered the first grade. Goo guessed that Huihui didn't know that his father died three years ago, so after his stepmother disappeared, he mistakenly thought that Shier was also there. That time disappears.

Because of the needs of the plot, Hui Hui had already anticipated this in the last semester of kindergarten.
