The day when I was favored by my brothers

When flying back to Tokyo, ‌‌ no longer need to buy tickets for Nakahara Chuuya and ‌ Zaiji.

Because neither of them survived last night and were forced to return to their original world.

It is worth mentioning that yesterday, after Nakahara Chuuya’s heartfelt words, Tennai Riko actually held Xiao Mo and complained heartbrokenly all night long.

"Then the family is really not a thing!"

"Keeping such a cute child locked up for so long!"

"Shut him down, shut him down, and torture him!"

"When Master Tianyuan and I merge, I will definitely not give them a blessing barrier in the future! Let them be bitten by the curse spirit and pull them down!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mo felt guilty. After all, the first thing he did after recovering his memory was to withdraw the power of his spell. In contrast, the barrier around the family also disappeared.

As for whether that bastard has been chewed by the curse spirit, I don't want to care.

"But, Sister Lizi." Xiao Mo waited until he had almost finished crying and calmed down, and then he said very softly: "...Xiao Mo doesn't want you to be assimilated with Lord Tianyuan."

The sound was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone present.

Within a day, Riko stopped crying. She stared blankly at the child in front of her and stammered, "Xiao Mo, you don't understand. This is the responsibility that the astral body must fulfill."

"...Sister Lizi doesn't want to be born with an astral body." Xiao Mo shook his head: "Sister Lizi doesn't want to be born with an astral body, right? This is the responsibility they impose on you.

"

Riko was silent for the day.

My parents passed away before ‌ could remember, but the magicians around me were all instilling certain concepts into ‌.

——For example, as an astral body, ‌ was born to integrate with Lord Tianyuan. It can even be said that ‌ was born to protect the safety of the entire magic world.

No one has ever said to ‌ that you are not ‌ willing, such words.

No one has ever said to ‌, "I don't want you to assimilate with Lord Tianyuan."

It seems that everyone has acquiesced in the fact that ‌ is an astral body. Over time, ‌ gradually agreed with such remarks and agreed with ‌'s own determined future.

Yes, ‌ is about to become an astral body and merge with Master Tianyuan. I don’t know if ‌ can really have consciousness at that time, but ‌ understands that ‌’s body will forever serve as the magic world.

The foundation of the barrier remains here, and you will never see your friends again, quietly waiting underground for the next five hundred years.

Thinking of such a future...Have you ever been afraid?

Of course I was scared.

But is fear useful?

……useless.

When the members of the conjurer family who were assigned to protect the safety of the family expressed their fears, they probably received not recognition and relief, but only punishment.

Some people even say that it is private.

"I have no family or relatives. Even if I assimilate with Master Tianyuan, it doesn't matter..."

"It does matter." Xiao Mo said softly: "If I really never see such a beautiful sister Li Zi again, Xiao Mo will be very sad."

It will be very sad when someone you care about suddenly leaves.

...Then, when you suddenly disappeared from the original world, where is your brother?

Brother, will he... be sad because of Xiao Mo?

Suddenly thinking of this, Xiao Mo fell silent.

Riko's arms holding the girl trembled within a day, and the tears that had just stopped accumulated in her eyes again.

"Xiao Mo..."

Riko no longer restrained her emotions, hugged the girl again and cried loudly. She didn't know whether she was crying for her previous experience or for herself.

From beginning to end, the girls stayed in ‌'s arms like quiet little animals, and even raised their hands to help ‌ wipe their tears, ‌like ‌ who stay quietly next to them when human beings are in a bad mood.

Like a dog, it is very reassuring.

‌Crying like this, maybe because she was tired from playing in Okinawa during the day. Tenuchi Riko ‌ fell asleep like this ‌. When she opened her eyes again, the plane had already landed in Tokyo from Okinawa.

It happened to be the third day, the day when I was about to assimilate with Master Tianyuan.

This means...it's time to say goodbye.

"It's safe here."

When you reach the depths of the barrier of the Conjuration College, theoretically speaking, there will never be any curse spirits or curse masters chasing you here.

"The reward for you on the dark web has also been cancelled." Gojo Satoru closed the phone and said, "In short, everyone has worked hard this time."

Seeing Riko Tennai's reluctant expression, he seemed to understand something, and simply winked at Xia Youjie: "Jie, why don't you take sister Riko in first, I'll stay outside."

"...‌."

From the beginning, the two people who had no intention of completing the task honestly exchanged glances with each other and understood each other's meaning. Xia Youjie said softly to Riko Tenuchi and the maid: "Then, come with me.

, I will escort you to the end."

Within days, Riko's eyes were still on Xiao Mo, who was sleeping on Xia Youjie's back, and she didn't reply to him for a while.

"Miss." The maid shook her head gently: "Instead of letting ‌ watch you leave, it's better to leave now while ‌ is asleep."

This is a bit cruel to even the most sensible children.

In the day, Riko nodded, turned around with difficulty, and wanted to follow Xia Youjie deeper into the building.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Gojo Satoru, the "strongest", was suddenly stabbed through the abdomen with a knife by a man who seemed to appear out of thin air.

Including Gojo Satoru, no one noticed the man's presence.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." The strange black-haired man took out the magic tool from Gojo Satoru's body, raised his hand to block Tsurumaru Kuninaga who was charging towards him with a knife, and said with a hint of ferocity on the corner of his lips: "That's right.

After canceling the reward, I deceived you, Okinawa, and I set such a big trap. After going round and round, I still made you completely relax your vigilance."

After several attacks, he was able to suppress this thousand-year-old god of mourning with complete ease.

Tsurumaru Kunaga's power is not the strongest among sword men, but this situation of being completely suppressed by humans has never happened before.

Everything almost happened within a few seconds, which really caught people off guard.

"Enlightenment!" Xia Youjie shouted anxiously, and the girl on his back opened her eyes in time. Seeing that Tsurumaru Kunaga was about to be injured by the curse, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and burst out like lightning.

Rushing forward at speed, Yao Hua's sharpened palms suddenly swung towards the enemy.

The man glanced at the girl in front of him with great interest and quickly retreated to avoid the fatal blow. Tsurumaru Kuninaga was also able to escape and was safe for the time being.

"Nice eyes." He commented with a squinted look.

"Master...Master!" Tsurumaru Kunaga was still frightened, but he still held the knife in front of Xiao Mo: "You have to be careful, this man is very strong, Gojo realized that he was killed just now

he--"

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? I'm fine."

Gojo Satoru, who thought he had been stabbed through the abdomen by a man with a knife, appeared in front of the two of them. Although the wound was still bleeding, his tone still seemed relaxed: "Well, I just used a technique to strengthen the internal organs out of desperation. This guy's

The attack only punctured my school uniform jacket, there was no injury at all, don’t worry."

He turned his eyes and said: "Besides, don't worry about this for now, Jie, you can quickly take Sister Lizi to Mr. Tianyuan's place. Leave this guy to me to deal with."

Xia Youjie hesitated for half a second, but quickly decided to believe in his close friend who he had trusted for so many years: "...‌."

After all, he has always trusted him like this. No matter how powerful enemies and cursed spirits he encounters, he can hand over his back to Gojo Satoru without any scruples.

They... are the "strongest" partner.

"Sister Riko, leave quickly."

"……Um."

The last one looked deeply at the girl standing next to Gojo Satoru, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to move towards the ending that belonged to him.

The intertwined changes in fate sometimes only require a look, a decision, and a blink of an eye.

"This man doesn't have half the power of a curse, so I can't predict his actions. He's also extremely physically strong and is the owner of heaven and curses." After analyzing the current situation, Gojo Satoru concluded: "

Tsurumaru, take Xiaomo away and let me deal with him‌‌.”

"Huh? What are you kidding about? Even my swordsmanship can't suppress him. Why are you trying to be a hero by yourself here?" Tsurumaru Kunaga gritted his teeth.

"So? Or do you really want Xiao Mo to protect you?"

"..."

Although Gojo Satoru's words were very hurtful, they were like pouring cold water on him, causing Tsurumaru to wake up in time.

Indeed, there is no retrograde army in this world. He cannot hone his spiritual power like an ordinary swordsman. He has always maintained the power he had when the contract was signed with Fusangshen. In short, he is level lv1.

, placed in front of such a powerful enemy, it is completely inadequate.

Even... the master is required to protect him when his personal safety is endangered.

"Sir, let's go quickly and ask the teachers and others at the school for help."

He stretched out his hand and held Xiao Mo's wrist tightly. The next second, a rather familiar chain appeared on the girl's other wrist.

"Tsuraku...maru?"

Xiao Mo didn't know what happened, so he murmured something. His suddenly panicked expression made Fu Sangshen's heart almost tighten.

Tsurumaru Kunaga's pupils suddenly trembled. He looked up in shock and found that the man just now was still refusing to face the challenge and had been using obstacles to deal with Gojo Satoru.

"I didn't agree to leave." The man said, "I didn't just say that I was here to assassinate the astral body, right?"

A desperado known as "Skill Killer", Jier always adheres to the principle of making money.

Not only did he accept the task of hunting down the astral girl from the Panxing Cult, but this time, the girl in front of him was also the target of his task.

He received a large sum of money from the Ogata family, and the big patron made a request and gave him useful assistance. Of course, he had to complete this mission successfully.

His words also completely angered Gojo Satoru and Tsurumaru Kunaga.

"Hey! What on earth did you do to the master?" Tsurumaru Kunaga's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and with a pop, he lost any ability to resist, and was squeezed and thrown by more chains that appeared out of thin air.

The girl who fell to the ground asked angrily.

"It's noisy."

Ji'er suddenly disappeared in front of them, but his pleasant voice still echoed in the air: "I didn't do anything? I just repeated what the Ogata family's conjurers have been doing to ‌

It’s just something.”

"...You talk about being powerful, but in fact you are just a coward."

At this moment, Gojo Satoru was completely angered by Jin Er. He teleported and stood in front of Tsurumaru Kunaga and Xiaomo, raised his body and released the technique: "The technique is reversed, maximum, blue."

In an instant, all nearby buildings and shelters were razed to the ground and reduced to ashes.

In comparison, Zhongyuan Zhongye's previous actions of demolishing homes can be called a kind act.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was dumbfounded, and Gojo Satoru showed a crazy expression of joy in front of them for the first time: "If there is no cover, there is no place to hide, right? Don't use this bastard-like method,

You despicable bastard who bullies children!"

Xiao Mo opened his eyes drowsily and tried to raise his head.

The girl, whose demon power was suppressed and whose consciousness was almost blurred, looked blankly at the figure standing in front of her.

He is tall and powerful, but deep down in his heart he hides a tenderness that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, firmly protecting him in front of him.

...In the end, how should I describe my mood at this time?

The person who awakened from the forbidden technique with warm feelings was actually Gojo Satoru. Xiao Mo actually didn't believe this kind of thing.

Tears welled up in his eyes. Under the influence of the spell, he finally found some sense and began to try hard to break free from the chains that were wrapped around his body.

——However, at this time, Gojo Satoru was indeed careless.

He understood that the other party might be carrying the killing weapon of a special-level spell, but he did not expect that he would suddenly release countless low-level spells, which would disrupt his attention as interference waves.

The moment the enemy suddenly approached, Gojo Satoru subconsciously used the spell and entered a defensive state.

The next second, the special-grade spell tool in Shi'er's body forcibly terminated his spell, and mercilessly penetrated his throat without leaving a chance to react.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Five items——"

He can even deal with Tsurumaru Kuninaga while giving Gojo Satoru a last-ditch blow. He is a fusangshin whose abilities are almost the same as when he was born. He only needs a few blows to defeat him.

Of course, if it is just a simple [defeat], this is far from enough.

To cut weeds, you need to remove the roots.

Tsurumaru Kunaga quickly fell to the ground, his white hunting clothes dyed red with blood. His swordsmanship was not enough for the powerful and monster-like Jiro.

"The effect of this special-grade magic tool is to forcibly cancel the activated spell, and its blade can also penetrate the power of the spell." Shi Er did not forget to explain to him.

The severe stabbing that penetrated the main artery of the throat was the second, third, and fourth stabbing aimed at the legs to make him lose the ability to move.

Red, red, everything you see is dazzling red.

The red color turned from the blood of his companions overwhelmed ‌'s vision.

The girl who had just regained her sense could not believe everything that had happened in a short period of time. She collapsed again, screaming and crying: "No! No! No! Satoru! Tsurumaru! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

——”

Mere collapse has no effect, it is just incompetent rage.

This chain seems to be specially designed for the demonic power. The more you struggle, the faster the chain extracts power.

In the end, Shir even ignored the girl's cries, and stabbed Gojo Satoru through the forehead, shattering his brain, and making sure that the injury was enough to make this guy unable to fight anymore, then he was leisurely and leisurely.

It was taken back.

"After solving two problems, I feel a little better. Next, I will solve the other ones as well." Shi'er said this in a calm tone, ‌

It's like saying "What are you having for dinner tonight?" without any psychological burden.

He slowly walked up to Xiao Mo, kicked away Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who had lost his voice, and squatted in front of the crying girl: "Don't cry, I hate crying."

What a noisy little kid.”

However, when I kicked the kid away just now, something seemed to fall from his collar.

Shi'er frowned and lowered his head, and found that it was just an ornament with canine teeth hanging on it, and it didn't look like a valuable item.

The girl looked at Gojo Satoru and Tsurumaru Kunaga blankly, her eyes seemed to be completely broken.

"Well, forget it." He grabbed Xiao Mo and said, "The reward the Ogata family promised me is much more than the astral body. I didn't expect you, a brat, to be quite valuable?"

"Then my family allowed me to stay alive after all, so don't be afraid and don't cry."

【...Gojo Satoru and Tsurumaru, are they missing? 】

"As compensation, uncle, can I bring you more things?"

【...They shed a lot of blood.】

In fact, last night, Xia Youjie revealed the truth to Xiao Mo after Tennai Riko cried herself to sleep.

He and Gojo Satoru actually had no intention of letting Riko ‌ be a victim from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, they just wanted to protect ‌‌ from the bounty, and they brought them back to the Conjuring High School just to fool their superiors.

Eventually we will definitely let them go home before assimilation.

"No matter what choice my sister makes in the end, Satoru and I will protect us and protect our future."

"Yes, after all, Jie and I are the strongest."

Gojo Satoru stood aside carelessly, stretched out his hand and hooked Xia Youjie's shoulder, and used his other free hand to ruffle Xiao Mo's hair: "So, Xiao Mo, please don't

I’m worried. Be a good dog, be a good dog~”

"...Don't let the big liar Gojo Satoru call me a dog!"

【Ah...he is indeed a liar.】

Tears poured down her cheeks, and the girl's originally pure blue eyes, which were like containing thousands of stars, now became cloudy.

"Why...you want to kill them?" he asked with difficulty in a hoarse voice.

"Because they will bother me to complete the reward, so I must get rid of them quickly and eliminate the trouble forever." Shi'er's tone seemed to be matter-of-fact: "Little sister, do you think about everyone?

Are you kind?"

As he spoke, he aimed in a certain direction and pulled the trigger.

As soon as a gunshot was heard, Riko Tennai fell to the ground.

This is the last scene in Xiao Mo’s memory.

‌Finally, due to the disappearance of the demonic power, I couldn't hold on anymore and completely fainted. ‌.

[Brother, Xiao Mo is scared. 】

【Brother, please, please take me home.】

[Brother, I don’t want to see this anymore, Xiao Mo has already——]

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was lying in the ruins, slowly moved his fingers, and with difficulty he placed his index finger on the canine tooth necklace.

He spent a whole day diving in the sea yesterday, certainly not to fish for wine.

Originally, it was planned to be a surprise, and the news would be told to the Lord after the mission was successfully completed.

It's a pity... He may not have the chance to tell the Lord in person.

"Your sister is crying so sadly right now..."

"Hey, come here quickly and help me..."

"What brother in this world would cry with his sister and still sit idly by?"

Blood was still gurgling from his throat. Tsurumaru Kunaga gritted his teeth and injected the last trace of his spiritual power into his canine teeth. He coughed out a mouthful of blood. Finally, he could no longer hold on, and his seriously injured body turned into a

The spiritual light dissipated and returned to the original sword. Before the sword became dim, he tried his best and shouted the last words to the sky.

"——Have you met? Sesshomaru!"

Shi'er first threw the unconscious Xiao Mo to the Ogata family who were waiting in the hiding place outside the Magic College.

The followers hugged the girl who fell in front of them, first subconsciously shrank out of fear, and then fell into ecstasy.

Unexpectedly, this man who is known as the magician killer actually brought this monster back!

"Next, I have to deal with the Panxing Sect." Shi'er lifted up the body of Zhongtian Nei Lizi and gestured to them: "Use money to do things, this child is left to you.

"

"Yes, yes, all the rewards have been transferred to your account, please check."

"Ah... thank you so much! Without you, we really don't know what we would do!"

No one expected that that night, after realizing the truth and being invaded by the curse spirit, the survivors of the Ogata family learned the truth. Instead of reflecting on and feeling guilty, they unanimously made the same decision.

A more terrifying choice.

Since the prosperity in the past few years was obtained at the expense of the child, rather than the family head's spell, why not bring the family back and give the surviving family a new lease of life?

After all...the damage caused by monsters is fake, but the benefits they gain are real.

There is no need to be trembling with fear that one day your life will be overdrawn. You would be a fool not to use the powerful magic power you got for free from other places!

So, they dug out the family master's relics, found spells and forbidden spells, and tried every means possible to get back the things that belonged to their Ogata family.

"After all, the former head of the family has treated her as his own daughter for so long. It's time for her to repay her kindness."

"Yes, sacrificing one thing can bring peace to so many people..."

"What did the higher-ups in the magic department say?"

"After confessing this little girl's abilities, they also acquiesced in disguise. They just hinted that we will share our power with them next..."

"Hey, what a bunch of disgusting old people."

Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him were greedy and ugly faces.

If he had said these words in the past, he would have been extremely angry and would have loudly rebutted and questioned him.

But at this moment, ‌ had completely lost his emotions. He just stared at the human beings in front of him with his eyes open without saying a word, his eyes filled with thick black fog.

yes.

‌Even if we kill them now, it will be useless.

‌It's too late.

All the important people have left ‌ - all because of the day they left the family. Because ‌ was soft-hearted, or still had good intentions towards human beings, he never harmed anyone from the beginning to the end.

A human being.

This is all because there was no rain at that time.

If only we could be a little cruel at that time and let them pay with blood...

Satoru, Jie, Tsurumaru, Sister Riko, Miss Misato Kuroi...

Everyone, everything will be fine.

This is all because of ‌, because ‌ is regarded as a task object, and everything happens...

This is all because of ‌.

It's all my fault.

The unspeakable emotions overwhelmed the reason, and there seemed to be something sleeping and uncontrollable in his body that was about to wake up.

‌At this moment‌——the elder who was standing at the front chattering suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes were wide open, and he could not continue to speak.

It seems that even now I don’t know who actually killed me.

When the great demon is angry, even the heaven and earth tremble.

None of the remaining tribesmen dared to scream. They were all terrified and terrified by the powerful demon power, and froze in place, unable to move.

The noble young man with silver hair and golden eyes was like a god descending. He leaned forward and held the girl tightly in his arms. With a slight movement of his right hand, the terrifying chains set against the monster's body were like paper.

It cracked like pieces.

"Xiao Mo."

——Who is speaking?

"Xiao Mo."

——Why is it so familiar?

"I'm late."

He was obviously a great demon who was as noble and cold as the bright moon in the sky, but at this moment, his voice seemed to be trembling slightly. He could no longer restrain his emotions, and he hugged his lost and found sister into his arms.

, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

The girl's dim eyes finally shone with a glimmer of light.

"Brother...sir?"

"it's me."

"Brother?"

"I am here."

I confirmed over and over again and received patient responses over and over again.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Mo clutched the hunting coat on the young man's shoulders. Xiao Mo buried his head in the familiar plush collar and howled like a child: "Brother--Brother--Brother--"

He cried loudly, as if he wanted to cry out all the bitterness in his heart over the past few years, and he did not stop until his voice became hoarse.

Brother, I miss you.

Brother, Xiao Mo has encountered a lot of bad people and a lot of grievances.

Brother, Xiao Mo can't even protect his important friends.

Brother, you are finally... here.
