I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

headache headache headache.

From the initial slight pain to the point where it was almost a splitting headache.

(——————)

Holding his forehead, ignoring the two XANXUS who were still fast asleep, Mukuro, who was the last to leave the hall, stopped on the corridor.

"かごめやかごめ～"

(cage seam, cage seam~)

The girl's childish singing became clearer and louder.

『かごの中の鸟は～いついつ出やる～』

(A bird in a cage ~want to fly out all the time~)

The coarse clothes worn on the girl's body, and the flowers swaying in the girl's hands.

"Ye Ming け の ば ん に ~... Crane to 亀 が slip っ た ~"

(The night before dawn~...the crane and the tortoise both slipped~)

The golden crown on the black hair, the blue eyes on the girl's pale face.A maiden costume that a girl only wears once in her life.

"...Who is behind ろの front? 』

(Who is facing you from behind?)

The edge of the bottomless hole, the bright smile on the girl's face, the blue hair flying around the girl's cheeks, the girl's moist eyes, and the red leaves falling with the girl...

——The fuzzy memories are gradually spliced ​​into complete memories one by one.Originally, I only knew about "there is such a thing", but now the emotions of the person involved are running non-stop even in the body.

(Kufufu... how disgusting...)

Rarely using such inelegant, tasteless and vulgar-sounding words to describe his feelings, Mukuro leaned slightly on the corridor wall.He thought he must look very ridiculous now.At the same time, he also found it frustrating that he was so shaken.

The only thing that can make Muku rejoice is that there is no one passing by here—after listening to Bailan and the Youth Prison Temple about the news that Suzuna died ten years later, and listening to the interpretation of Suzuna's life experience by Primo Peng and others After that, everyone went to do their own things with their own minds.

As for Mukuro, he wasn't as shocked by Suzuna's death ten years later as the others.The world of the Mafia is one where the weak prey on the strong.When he saw Suzuna for the first time, he felt that the chances of an ordinary girl like Suzuna being able to survive in such a world were infinitely close to zero.If Suzuna hadn't struggled desperately and resisted, let alone Suzuna would have died ten years later, Suzuna might have been killed by Mukuro the day she saw Mukuro.

So Mukuro doesn't care whether Suzuna in the parallel world is dead or not.Is it because the group of mafia is troublesome and died.

(People are always mortal.)

Death is not simply the end.Death is another "beginning".

When he was young, he was no different from other children in the family. It was just that Mu Mu, an ordinary teenager, had powers that he shouldn't have after undergoing cruel human experiments.Along with that power came memories that did not belong to an ordinary teenager.

Because Mukuro was still quite young when he got that memory, Mukuro couldn't resist those memories from invading his brain at all.Fall into the six realms of the underworld to be animals, evil ghosts, and Shuras; leave hell and enter the heaven.Then step into the world again.That handsome young man with a pale face because he was kept indoors as a guinea pig for a long time was rewritten overnight.Then, with the goal of destroying the mafia in the world, the boy embarked on a journey paved with blood.

The howling of pain has been heard enough.Miserable scenes are used to it.Even though the blood was spreading everywhere, and countless people died tragically in front of his eyes, he, who had become a "skunk", would no longer feel anything.

Inu and Chizuo gave Mukuro a place to go back to.The appearance of Tsunayoshi, Skylark and others not only shocked Mukuro, but also gave Mukuro the joy of being alive and the next goal.Collom makes the bones needed.And the existence of Hojo Suzuna made Mukuro gradually recall memories that did not belong to him——

It was a boy's memory of a girl 800 years ago.

"... Bow your head! What are you looking at! Carefully goug out your eyes!"

When the boy saw the girl for the first time, the girl who was pushed into the door with her hands tied behind her was kicked by the guard behind her and fell down in front of the boy sitting on the chair .

"..."

She didn't even utter a cry of pain. The girl whose body was trembling because of the pain just got up stubbornly, then raised her head and stared at her with green eyes reminiscent of wet green leaves by the water. There are not only teenagers who are one or two grades taller, but also middle-aged men with tall stature and equally gorgeous clothes beside the teenagers.

The coarse clothes are old and dirty.His delicate face was covered with mud.Probably because she was beaten several times before she was taken to this room, the girl's arms, legs and feet, as well as her delicate face outside the coarse cloth clothes, were slightly swollen and red, blue, and purple. , In some serious places, even subcutaneous congestion turned black.

"My lord, forgive me!!"

Just when the young man was feeling so pitiful for this young girl who was about his own age, the two guards who escorted the young girl through the door rushed forward and turned the young girl's head aside, so that the young girl could no longer stare at the young man.

"You damn untouchable!! Just tell you not to stare at people anymore! Are you trying to bring disaster for the adults and the young master?! Or are you cursing the adults and the young master with your disgusting eyes like snakes now? ?!"

The guard who kicked the girl just now raised his hand to slap the girl while cursing.

"...!"

The boy was startled, and only then did he understand why the girl looked so pitiful.Before, he only thought the girl's green eyes were very beautiful, and now he realized that this was the first time he had seen eyes of this color.

The boy's father was originally a member of the palace, but due to some reasons, he was transferred to a remote place to replace the original secretary of the country.The boy lived in Beijing before, and then came here with his father.So although the young man is not very old, he has seen quite a few people.

Seeing that the girl was about to get another new injury, the boy couldn't help but clenched his fists and wanted to stop the behavior of the two guards.He hates this kind of brutal behavior without reason, and he hates domination full of violence.In addition, those guards who are big and thick are now facing a thin girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and this girl looks dying now.

"stop--!"

Raising his hand and waving towards the two guards, the boy's voice made everyone including the boy's father startled.The two guards who grabbed the girl and were about to beat them down looked at each other.The guards standing around who showed fear, disgust, and panic after seeing the girl's green eyes, and the guards who showed a reassuring smile when they saw the two guards who were holding the girl rough on the girl were also stunned. Eyes wide open.Even the boy's father raised his eyebrows slightly because he felt his son's gaffe.

"Isn't she injured?!"

Angrily pushing away the two guards and still holding the girl's hand, the boy said angrily to the two guards: "How can you do this to a wounded person?!"

"..."

Bi Mou looked deeply at the boy who supported her and protected her behind her. The girl's eyes showed a sense of gratitude, but also a sense of worry and more anxiety and fear.

"But, but my lord... this pariah might know magic..."

"Ridiculous! If she knows sorcery, can you still live to rape her?"

After drinking off the guard, the boy said angrily.His words left the guards speechless.

Seeing that his son was so ignorant, the new official had only been in office for a few days, and Xin Guosi, who didn't want to annoy the former Guosi and the old department, sighed and waved: "Enough."

"Father……"

Hearing what his father said, no matter how dissatisfied the boy is, he can only shut up obediently.Let go of the girl who was protecting him, and the boy stood aside.

"...So, what crime did this girl commit to bring me here?"

"She, she stole things... and cast spells on people..."

One of the guards said.Originally, I wanted to capture the girl who "knows sorcery" in front of me, so that the new Guosi would have legitimate excuses and reasons to violence against the girl so as to relieve the pressure and dissatisfaction, and to please the guards of the new Guosi. I didn't expect the only son of the Guosi to suddenly come out to defend her. This innocent girl.

Hearing the guard's words, the girl's pale face became even paler.

"I do not have……"

Suppressing her anger and sadness, she uttered words as clearly as possible, and the girl, holding back her tears, raised her head and said, "I didn't steal anything! All I ate were wild vegetables dug from the mountain! The medicinal herbs for my mother's illness were also dug from the mountain. Come!"

"Shut up! How can there be so many wild vegetables and herbs on the mountain! You don't have a father! Your mother is dying again! How can you and your mother not starve to death with you alone?!"

"That's right! Don't lie anymore! Hurry up and tell the truth! I saw you digging in the middle of the night with my own eyes! Why are you digging in the middle of the night!!"

The two guards yelled loudly, looking arrogant and domineering.

"The magic circle... I'm just burying the dead bird. I—"

"Shut up! You bastard!!"

Seeing that the girl exposed their lies, the two guards were even more annoyed.One of them even wanted to knock the girl unconscious with a stick in his hand.

Seeing the stick fall, the girl closed her eyes forcefully.She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that she will not be able to die, but instead lives in pain.

"you--……!!"

The expected pain and darkness did not hit, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and saw the boy from just now standing in front of her again.

He was hit hard with a club on the shoulder, and the boy's still childish face was distorted in pain.The young man did not expect that the guards would be so presumptuous in front of his father who is the Secretary of the State, and would do such a thing that might hurt someone's life without the permission of the State Secretary.

"Grand master...?!"

The guard who hit the man loosened his hand, and the stick immediately fell to the ground, and the other guards rushed forward to subdue him, so as to claim credit for Guo Si.

"I am fine."

The pain darkened the boy's eyes.The boy who insisted on not fainting turned around and wanted to ask the girl, "Are you okay?" Seeing the girl looking at him in disbelief, tears flowed.

(Ah... sure enough...)

The boy really wanted to praise the girl's beautiful eyes, even though he knew it was not appropriate at all.

Trembling and wriggling her lower lip, the girl who wanted to support the boy struggled with all her strength to break free from the thick rope that helped her hands.The thick rope that tied her wrist tightly immediately plunged into the girl's flesh, and the girl's wrist was worn out and blood was worn out.But as if she couldn't feel the pain, the girl still tried hard to break free from the thick rope tied around her wrist.

Smiling at the girl, the boy stopped the girl's movements with his still moving hand.The girl whose movements were stopped silently shed tears.

After that, the bodyguard who arrested the girl on false charges was severely punished for hurting the son of Kokusi.The young man learned from the young girl that she had been excluded since she was a child because of her natural eye color that was different from others.She has no father, and her mother died of illness a few days ago.She was the only one left alive in the family.

"I am willing to be your master's slave and live for your master. Please let me stay here."

Kneeling straight on the ground with bruised hands and feet, the girl begged the boy.

Originally, he simply couldn't watch a person's life being ended by others so unreasonably, so the boy who saved the girl without thinking deeply was stunned.Suddenly unable to think of what to say, he naturally forgot to reject the girl.

That was when the two met.That encounter changed too many things, and also changed the boy's life since then.

"...You...! How dare you cut my hair into such a strange look again!"

A few years later, the boy whose figure was close to that of an average adult man pointed at the top of his head and said angrily.

"It's the fault of the grown-ups who asked me to cut your hair for you, knowing that I can only cut it like this."

The girl who was folding clothes said indifferently, and finally smiled.

"Huh...? Is it my fault that you haven't improved your haircut for several years?"

The boy rolled his eyes, and he seemed a little helpless as he sat down on the edge beside the girl—the lightning-shaped hair on the top of his head was forked, and the tied hair was long and short, like the leaves of some kind of plant Sticking to the back of the head, the boy's hairstyle is "wonderful" which cannot be fully described.

"Then knowing that I have been cutting hair at the same level for several years, the grown-ups who come to me to cut hair know people, and the level of employing people has not improved."

The girl couldn't help teasing the boy.

"……Humph."

I told the girl in my heart that it was because I didn’t improve my ability to know people and employ people because I didn’t want anyone other than you to touch my hair.The boy just snorted.

Although in terms of their names, one is the master, the other is a servant, the other is the son of the state secretary, and the other is a lowly slave who is not even considered a commoner.But after getting along for so many years, the girl and the boy are more like childhood sweethearts with good feelings.

Girls are born without fathers, and boys lose their mothers at birth.Such two people can easily understand each other's feelings, even without words.

In the past few years, the boy has grown strong and reliable.In addition, the young man's appearance is upright and handsome, every time the young man goes out with his father to inspect, there will be many women lining the road to greet him and give them a glance.Girls change even more than teenagers.Still looking so slender she's quite the mark of falling.Although due to childhood malnutrition and many other factors, they definitely can't reach the level of "beautiful appearance", but in this small place, girls can barely be regarded as beauties.

Such two people standing together can be regarded as a pair.However, in the eyes of Guosi, this situation and this scene are only an eyesore - his son is about to enter Yuanfu.When Yuan Fu becomes an adult, he will marry a wife and have children.But the only thing my son dares to be interested in now is the slave.

A slave, it doesn't matter if you play casually and lose it.Anyway, as the owner's property, the owner's property is not ashamed to be used by the owner.The problem is that according to the character of the son, I am afraid that he will want to marry this slave as his wife.

The son of a dignified state secretary, it's fine if he doesn't find a girl from a good family, but he wants to marry a slave as his wife.Just thinking about it, Guo Si knew how many people would laugh at him.Maybe I will be criticized in the court because of my son's behavior.In serious cases, you may even be convicted of it.

As soon as Guo Sifu took office, because his son protected the girl who was called "half-demon", "demon girl", "monster", "monster" and "ghost" outside, Guo Si punished her son in a rage because her son was injured. The old department of the former Guosi who injured his son was tantamount to offending many people by directly introducing him.

In addition, natural disasters have continued in recent years.First came the drought, then the plague of locusts, then the pestilence.The imperial court also turned a blind eye to this and continued to levy high taxes|taxes.There is already panic in the place.It is rumored that this place is so unfortunate because the son of Guosi took in the half-demon who has whiter skin than other women, darker black hair than other women, and eyes that are not brown, brown, or black, but green.

Accumulated pain turned to anger and blindness.Seeing that after entering autumn, there has never been a drop of rain in the sky.It is clearly the harvest season, but the crops in the fields are gradually withering under the hot sun. People believe more and more that all these natural disasters are caused by the more and more iconic girl who came out.

Guosi's subordinates forcefully broke into Guosi's house and took the girl away.Guosi, who lost face, did not pursue it.The boy who found the girl was taken away looked for the girl everywhere, but did not find the girl.

A few days later, the boy saw a group of people leaving the village in a mighty manner, and then heading towards the nearby mountains.The boy who was busy looking for the girl didn't pay attention to this line at first.By the time he noticed the procession and caught up with it on the mountain, the girl was already walking not far from the huge cave.

The red and white miko costume looks very good on the girl.It was the first time in her life that she wore fine cloth clothes and a heavy metal crown on her head, but if she walked a little further, she would fall into the cave and be crushed to pieces.

"Don't move! I'm here to save you!!"

The young man riding the horse jumped off his horse, knowing that the people in this place wanted the young girl to be the "God's Bride Serving the Mountain God", that is, a living sacrifice, and the young man rushed towards the young girl recklessly.

"My lord! Please stop! Even if you are the son of Lord Guosi, we will not allow you to disturb this sacred ceremony!!"

"What sacred ceremony?! It's just killing people with a fair reason!!"

"……what?!"

The boy roared angrily, he wanted to use the saber still in the sheath around his waist to stun those who blocked his way, but the team that sent the girl to this mountain were all young men in their prime.These people clamped down on the young man.

"Young master, how can you say such blasphemous words?! Please consider your position, as well as your father's position, okay?! Isn't the existence of the State Secretary just to let the people live and work in peace and contentment?!"

"Ten people are people! Isn't one person a person?! Why can't she live and work in peace and stability?!"

The young man was extremely angry, but he couldn't move.Watching the girl being forced by the guards holding spears to a place where she would fall into the cave if she took another step, the anxiety, anger, pain and fear in the boy's heart reached their limit.

"Why doesn't she have the right to live?!"

"grown ups--……"

Sensing the discordant noise in the team, the girl turned her head and saw the boy struggling towards her direction.The road leading to this large cave on the mountainside is very narrow.Even if no one stopped the boy on this kind of road, the boy couldn't continue to ride the horse. In addition, the boy didn't want his horse to kick someone down, so he dismounted earlier.

"Leave quickly!!"

Seeing the girl stop, the middle-aged men who forced the girl to jump into the cave with spears stabbed the girl threateningly with the spears in their hands.

"I can't escape without being so vigilant. No matter what you say, it's impossible for adults to come here. Besides,"

The huge cave was like a mouth that would swallow everything in the world. Standing dignifiedly in front of this "mouth", the girl smiled slightly.

"Even if the adults come, I will not follow the adults."

The girl is very clear about the identity of the boy and his due position, and the girl wants to protect the boy more than anyone else.So she will not do things that embarrass the teenager.

"Go back."

The girl's calm voice was like a sigh, but also like an order.

"you……"

The middle-aged men trembled because of the relieved smile on the girl's face, and the middle-aged men who were shaken by the girl's attitude seemed to see the real shrine maiden, the Son of God loved by God.Unable to defy the girl's will, several middle-aged men stepped aside.

"……grown ups--!!"

The boy heard the girl's voice calling him again.He raised his head and stretched out his hand towards the girl, even though it was impossible for his hand to touch the girl's fingertips.

"かごめやかごめ，かごの中の鸟は...いついつ出やる～"

(cage gap, cage gap, the bird in the cage... wants to fly out all the time~)

The girl sang the nursery rhyme that the two loved most when they played together a few years ago.A wind blew, and the maiden costume on the girl danced with the wind.Withered red leaves fell at the feet of all,

"No, stop!! I won't allow—…!!"

The boy still struggled.In the girl's singing, he saw the determination to die in the girl's eyes.

"Ye Ming け の ば ん に, Tsuru と 亀 が slip っ た... Who is the front of Hou ろ の? Who is facing you from the back...?"

(In the night before dawn, both the crane and the tortoise slipped... Who is facing you behind...?)

"Stop...!!! Don't you listen to my master?! Are you a slave going to rebel against your master?!"

The boy didn't know if he was crying, he only knew that his right eye was hot and painful.

"grown ups…………"

A gentle voice came along with the wind, and the girl smiled brightly at the boy.

"Next life,"

Her clear green eyes were wet with tears, and the girl, who was afraid that the boy would not hear her, raised her voice and laughed: "... I will still be a slave of adults in my next life!!! I will only be a slave of adults alone!!!"

"No matter how many times I reincarnate among the six realms... I will definitely return to my lord's side!!! So..."

Putting her hands on her chest, the girl just fell backwards with a smile.

"So please forgive me... my lord——"

Red leaves, overwhelming blood-colored petals.The red and white priestess costume fluttered lightly.The young girl did not let the boy see her crying, and the girl whose eyes reflected the blue sky fell into the bottomless cave.

"No------------------!!!!!!!!"

The outstretched hand couldn't even touch the corner of the girl's clothes, no matter how many steps he took, he couldn't reach the girl.Shouting with a voice that could almost tear his own vocal cords, the young man was like a madman.

(Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?)

In his blank mind, the boy had only one thought.

(--Why--?)

Why on earth are those people able to sacrifice such a young girl with no care and no guilt in exchange for a miracle that might never happen?

(Of course, it is because of the hopeless selfishness of human beings.)

"Kufufu..."

Laughing mockingly in the deserted corridor, Mukuro covered his right eye with one hand.

headache.Like it's about to crack.The eyes are so hot, as if they are being burned by fire.

"Even if it's not a stupid mafia, stupid people are just as stupid..."

I don't know who these words are addressed to.With his eyes closed, he tried to erase that face that was almost exactly like Suzuna's from his mind.
