The day when I was favored by my brothers

"Brother Xia Youjie?"

"Is that you?"

Hearing what Xiao Mo murmured, Gojuanji and Fushiguro Megumi seemed to be stunned together.

In fact, the name Xia Youjie was not unfamiliar to people in the magic world of ‌ years ago.

According to rumors, he is one of the few super-level magicians in the country. He studied at a magic college and has completed quite difficult tasks countless times. He has exorcised first-level or even super-level spell spirits. He is still young and has a bright future.

Infinite.

However, during the mission that day, an entire village of villagers was massacred "without reason", and there was no news.

I heard that it was a remote village that was not shown on the map, and the villagers who were killed were all ordinary people who did not know how to use any spells and were not even cursed by the spirits.

So, why did Xia Youjie do such a thing?

The true nature of the matter was concealed by the superiors in the magic world. They said they wanted to protect them, but in fact they put Xia Youjie's parents under house arrest and issued the message "Xia Youjie, the super magician, has defected.

If a conjurer sees him, he must be executed on the spot if circumstances permit."

Everything is so strange.

As for the two children, Inugaki Tsutsuki, who is the descendant of the Spell Master, and Fushiguro Megumi, who is related to the Spell Master family, they have also heard a few words about the Xia Youjie from the adults, as well as various

All kinds of conspiracy theories.

And their impression of this name is no more than "a certain defected super magician".

until today.

Suddenly, I heard this sister call out "Xia Youjie", which is considered a taboo name, with a hopeful and slightly joyful voice.

She was not afraid of the abominable giant cursed spirit in front of her at all, and her eyes were even calmer when she looked at this cursed spirit, which was probably at the first level or even stronger... It was as if she was looking at it.

The look in the eyes of a dog that knows it has been tamed.

This is really strange.

Moreover, if I heard correctly, what she just shouted was...

……"elder brother"?

The giant curse spirit raised its head and let out a ferocious roar towards the sky. At the same time, it stepped on the man under its feet harder and harder.

However, a spiritual examiner who is valued by the government of the time is obviously not a vegetarian.

I saw a ray of spiritual light shining past the cursed spirit's feet, and its twisted lower limbs disappeared in an instant.

The embarrassed judge stood up again with a disgraceful face, faced the curse spirit that had reached its limit, moved his palm forward, and unleashed the final blow.

Just by using such a move, such a powerful curse spirit was exorcised by him...

"Isn't that guy really one of the top-level magicians?"

Megumi Fushiguro was finally able to re-examine the seemingly unsightly middle-aged man in front of him, trying to search for information related to this hole in his memory.

‌Unfortunately, it was not found.

"Next, it's your turn, little devils."

Xiao Mo has heard words like this too many times, but this time she was not as nervous as she was at first. She secretly felt that this man would not end well every time he said harsh words.

As it turns out, it was the same this time.

Suddenly, a figure flashed beside the middle-aged judge.

"Isn't this the incompetent head of the Ogata family? I haven't seen him for many years."

The young man's hearty and slightly frivolous voice suddenly sounded close to his ears, which made the observer startled. He subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.

Facts have proved that Xia Youjie has indeed skillfully practiced how to deal with powerful spellcasters or powerful ordinary people without any spells over the years.

The examiner fell limply to the ground with a pop. This appearance of being completely defenseless was in stark contrast to the powerful cursed spirit that he had just killed with one blow.

Before Inumaki Tsubasa and Fushiguro Megumi could react, the reliable sister who had just held their hands and led them to escape had already turned into a bright yellow figure and rushed forward.

——She stretched out her arms without hesitation and hugged the black-haired young man in front of her tightly.

"Brother Xia Youjie."

After such a meaningful reunion after a long absence, she could still bury her head tightly into the other person's collar without hesitation. She used her hands more and more, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her voice also had a slight vibrato:

"I miss you so much."

"I thought... thought you had..."

"It's great." She repeated softly: "It's really great."

She is so stupid, why did she unilaterally believe that Xia Youjie's brother had also been killed by the murderer? Sister Riko, Miss Misato, and Gojo Satoru suffered injuries that are fatal to humans, but

Brother Xia Youjie is different...

How could she, who had been deceiving herself for so many years because of her subjective assumptions, never thought of coming back to confirm?

Is it because...fear?

Is it because you are afraid of accepting reality and seeing a completely different world than before?

Then her previous fear was too cowardly and too stupid to leave Brother Xia Youjie alone for so long?

"I……"

She raised her head and was about to apologize when she heard Xia Youjie say, "I'm sorry."

"……Eh?"

Why does Brother Xia Youjie have to apologize? This is so strange.

"Sorry, Xiao Mo." Xia Youjie repeated softly: "I have..."

I can't continue to be your brother.

‌He is no longer the young man who was a magician who could exorcise cursed spirits and protect ordinary people. He has...

When the words came to his mouth, he looked into the bright and clear eyes in front of him, but he couldn't say those words no matter what.

Her head is higher than before.

The scars that were once so ferocious and obvious have become lighter, replaced by dazzling golden hair that is becoming lighter and more transparent, eyes that are like thousands of stars, and an increasingly outstanding appearance.

...His sister seems to be a little taller.

Xiao Mo tilted her head and looked at him for a while in confusion, then suddenly nodded, suddenly realizing.

Brother Xia Youjie must be apologizing for not protecting Gojo Satoru and the others at that time.

But why should he apologize? It's not his fault at all! Although she has been blaming herself, this matter cannot be attributed to her failure to protect her companions from the beginning to the end.

Of...this truth, Brother Qingming also woke her up.

"Don't apologize." Xiao Mo suddenly changed his expression to a serious one, stretched out his hand, tiptoed, and covered his mouth in a gesture that did not tolerate resistance: "You don't need to apologize."

Xia Youjie: "...?"

The little girl sighed: "This kind of thing happened. No one wants it."

Xia Youjie: ...What is this thing that Xiao Mo is referring to? Could it be that she already knows about his defection?

"What we have to do now is...to keep calm and not dwell on the past."

Xia Youjie: ...What Xiaomo meant was that she understood her inner thoughts and told him not to dwell on the past?

"Otherwise, Gojo Satoru's soul in heaven will not be at peace."

Xia Youjie, who had just fallen into a deep sleep, seemed to be suddenly choked and coughed to cover up.

He looked up and down at the girl in front of him who had a serious and even slightly sad face. After a few seconds of silence, he finally confirmed that she was not joking with him.

Why does Xiao Mo think so decisively that Gojo Satoru is dead?

This issue is worth exploring deeply.

After all, the subordinates reported yesterday that Gojo Satoru was still alive and active in the world of magic.

...And it seems that Xiao Mo has already convinced herself to look past Gojo Satoru's death.

This is quite rare, after all, they had a good relationship before...

Xia Youjie recalled that Gojo Satoru had previously teased Xiao Mo like a dog, using all kinds of pranks to make the child who was usually quite docile even get so angry that he would jump on his head and bite him, and so on.

Scenes……

Well, after recalling all these past events, Xia Youjie could no longer say "their previous relationship was pretty good".

"Are you Xia Youjie?"

Xia Youjie suddenly heard such a question.

There was a human-shaped pendant hanging on his shoulder. He slowly turned around and saw a vigilant black-haired boy in front of him.

The looks...just one look could make his fists itch.

Well, Fuheisher's son, a certain young man who is said to be extremely talented in magic.

Although such unpleasant events had happened in the past, Xia Youjie never intended to cause trouble to Fuhe Shier's descendants from the beginning to the end.

After all, the young man has the talent of a conjurer, and it is not within the scope of his righteous plan.

"You... what is your relationship with her... with your sister?" Fushiguro Megumi remained vigilant and asked word by word.

Inumaki Tsubasa followed Fushiguro Megumi, nodding his head repeatedly and assuming a defensive posture: "Salmon! Salmon!"

Xia Youjie: "..."

Although he can quite understand Xiao Mo's previous behavior of confusingly identifying his brother.

But what is going on with these younger brothers now?

Before Xia Youjie could speak, Xiao Mo announced with a big smile: "He is my brother Xia Youjie!"

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

Although he could understand these words when taken apart, after putting them together for a while, he began to be confused.

Gee, why is this guy hugging a defected super-level magician who is famous in the magic world and is said to be extremely dangerous, and calling her brother with such an intimate look on his face without any warning? Could it be that she is actually an idiot?

It's really impossible to say that they are brother and sister based on their looks.

Just by comparing the size of their eyes, you can tell that they seem to have no blood relationship.

but……

Fushiguro Megumi thought about the cursed spirit that fell from the sky just now, and also looked at the middle-aged man who was knocked down on the ground. After thinking about it for a while, she finally came to this conclusion reluctantly.

in conclusion.

Xia Youjie... was protecting them just now.

No, or rather, he was simply trying to protect that woman.

Is this really what a defected psionicist would do?

At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was quite strange.

There were two young men staring at the young man warily, a young girl hanging on the young man's neck, and a middle-aged man lying half-dead on the ground.

Xia Youjie sighed.

After he heard the words of the chairman of the Discipline Committee of another world, although he initially denied it, he began to investigate out of integrity.

Although Xiao Mo's whereabouts were not found, he was very happy.

For example... a man who claimed to be from the Ogata family, made a big fuss in the branch territory and even attracted the attention of the superiors in the magic world, but actually looked like the previous head of the Ogata family.

It is said that the head of the family died in a certain mission.

However, Xia Youjie is 100% certain that he is the source of all evil who has allowed the Ogata family to degenerate and even instigated the branch family to collude with the Curse Master.

Xia Youjie didn't have the slightest fondness for Ogata's surname, so he used the tamed magic spirit to keep an eye on the guy's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly...he was also trying to take action against his sister whom he had reunited with after a long separation.

Then how long will the damn family continue to force and harm her?

Although Xia Youjie had the intention to kill, he did not directly kill the man.

One person is afraid that the man's death will frighten Xiao Mo, and the other person feels that... he may be able to obtain relevant information from the other person.

No one can escape the eyes of the magic world and disappear completely for so many years, unless he really went to some other world.

With gentle movements, he touched the little head buried in his arms again and again.

Although he didn't know what misunderstanding she had about Gojo Satoru...but at this moment, he didn't want to explain.

If she knew that the former "gentle brother" had taken a completely different path from Guardian, would Xiao Mo still embrace himself without any grudges as he does now?

he does not know.

But at this moment, two little girls with mushroom heads stood one meter away behind Xia Youjie, one on the left and the other on the right, puffing their mouths in unison.

"Lord Xia Youjie, you defeated the enemy." Nanako tilted her head.

"Lord Xia Youjie, are you going to order the believers to take him back next?" Mimiko also tilted her head.

"Lord Xia Youjie, is this Sir Xia Youjie's sister?"

The two twin girls asked this question in unison, their eyes unblinking as they looked at the girl who could hold them tightly, Mr. Xia Youjie, without hesitation.

Although they were adopted by adults when they were young, they have always had a very respectful attitude towards Master Xia Youjie, and they are not likely to hug him tightly and act coquettishly like the little girls.

This kind of behavior, this kind of behavior, is really too transgressive, too disrespectful, and too...enviable.

Nanako and Mimiko felt lemon bubbles popping out of the water.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but let go of his hand, and his eyes lingered on Xia Youjie and the two girls for a while.

"Are they...brother Xia Youjie's..." Xiao Mo tremblingly said the possibility she had in mind: "Sisters?"

At this moment, Neptune finally put himself in his shoes and realized what his daily brother was like.

It turns out that when I found out that my sister went out and recognized her brother, would my brother be like this? Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh.

It was very rare that Neptune actually started to repent.

Xia Youjie: "...!"

Such a cautious look and inquiry almost made his body tremble.

He quickly shook his head in denial: "No, no, no, they are my adopted children."

Xiao Mo suddenly realized: "Daughter?"

Xia Youjie: "..."

There's nothing wrong with that.

She quickly took out some spare snacks from her body and stuffed one into her hand to win over others.

"What are your names?" While greeting the two girls in front of him, Xiao Mo turned his head and looked at Fushiguro Hui and Inugaki Tsutsubo behind him with a strange expression, as if they were facing a formidable enemy: "

What are you staring at? Come here, brother Xia Youjie is a very good person, you don’t have to be afraid if he is here."

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

Does this woman have some problem with the definition of a good person in her head?

Gojuanji: "... Muyuhua."

It's because of the presence of those men that they are so scared now.

The two young men exchanged glances, almost as if they were brothers in need.

After checking their eyes, they could tell at a glance that the young man was not a good person!

But at this moment, they have two choices before them.

The first is to turn around and run away, and then report to the magic community that the defected magician Xia Youjie is here now, urgently seeking help.

Maybe...this is the wisest choice.

A magician who attacks ordinary people, no matter what their fate is, will be cursed the moment they attack.

The second choice is to pretend that you don't know anything, treat this man as a villain who saves lives, and say hello warmly.

This choice is really bad, it is no different from helping an evildoer.

But……

When he saw the girl's bright smile from within, Fushiguro Megumi had to admit that he hesitated shamefully.

"kelp!"

Just when he was hesitating, he found that Gou Juanji, who was standing next to him just now, had walked up to Xia Youjie at some point and greeted him with confidence.

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

Hey! You guy with a mouth full of rice ball stuffing, please wake up! The person standing in front of you is a special-grade defector magician!

"Hui Hui." Xiao Mo suddenly called him.

"...Tsk, what kind of strange name do you have?" Fushiguro Megumi looked away with an awkward look.

"I'm sorry, I mean, maybe what happened here is complicated... But can you believe me, Brother Xia Youjie is not a bad person?"

Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Ah... I wish I had known that at the beginning, he would not agree to his sister's troublesome suggestion of sending his friend home.

In the Magic College, Hosunosuke, who tried so hard to pretend to be a pitiful, cute and innocent little fox, overturned.

"Tell me." Gojo Satoru twirled the fox fur for a while, and finally put it back because he probably felt it didn't feel good to the touch. After sitting in a boss's posture, he lifted up the fox that was standing stiffly on the bed.

He twitched his chin.

Kitanosuke: "...?"

It looked at Gojo Satoru with a puzzled expression, like a ignorant and innocent little animal.

"Stop pretending, tell me everything you know." Gojo Satoru flexed his wrist: "Otherwise, I heard that fox udon tastes good."

Fox Nosuke: "..."

Is this, this big guy, talking to him?

This can't be done! Just when it breathed a sigh of relief, it felt that the other person was very nervous, so why did it turn around and slap it in the face again?

"You...what do you want to know?" Foxuzuke said tremblingly.

"What I want to know ‌‌‌." Gojo Satoru is still smiling: "I want to understand why the world merges with the world, and what kind of harm the fusion will bring, and Xiaomo... for

What is its role for you?"

Good guy, every word you say hits the nail on the head, and even some things can be regarded as the top secrets of the government of the time. It is not an exaggeration.

The man in front of me has such an understanding of everything that even if he wants to pretend to be stupid, he probably won't be able to get away with it.

As expected... the "strongest" with six eyes.

"...I will tell you everything that can be said. After all, my life was saved by you." Foxnosuke sighed: "So, the government of the time captured me and tore me to pieces.

Before you become a scumbag, you must save my life as a fox, Gojo Satoru-sama, even though I am only a shikigami, I want to live."

"certainly."

Gojo Satoru pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone suddenly serious.

"But before that, I still have a problem."

"Well, you can ask."

"The Government of Time...what exactly is it?"

Fox Nosuke: "......???"

Good guy, the co-author actually doesn’t even know what the Government of Time is, so how did he infer these things??

When the examiner opened his eyes, he found that his hands and feet were imprisoned by the curse spirit.

I don't know what special method was used to make him immobile and unable to use his spirit.

There was even a seal put on his mouth to prevent him from swearing.

The examiner looked around with horrifying eyes, staring hard for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

‌‌Children of the same age are lying on the ground playing Ludo.

Inumaki Tsubasa and Fushiguro Megumi, Nanako and Mimiko.

These children are not used to talking. It is really difficult for them to play hard.

One of them was unwilling to speak because of his introverted personality, and one was speaking because no one could understand him.

Of course, half an hour ago, Gojuanji had already used a public phone on the roadside to tell his parents that he was going to spend the night at a friend's house with a brief sentence of the name of the ingredients.

In response to this, Fushiguro Megumi showed 200% shock.

How did he communicate with his parents?

However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.

Because when he called his sister and told him that he would spend the night at his new friend (Gou Juan)’s house tonight, he would definitely be worried about him staying out all night. His sister actually seemed quite happy at the moment, and she couldn’t wait to leave a message saying “you and me”.

My friend wanted to have a good time and then hung up the phone.

Sister... is she possessed by a curse?

Fushiguro Megumi sighed and rubbed his temples.

There is actually a reason why he chooses to stay.

The main reason is because I am really worried...that the defecting Xia Youjie will do something to the stupid woman.

And from this point of view, Gojuanji probably stayed because he had a similar fate with him.

Even if the two of them faced off against a super-level magician, it would be like a mayfly shaking a tree, and it would have no effect.

Fushiguro Megumi is now quietly praying that Xia Youjie is actually a good and good person as the woman said...

Hmm, is this possible?

"It's your turn, Hedgehog, you should roll the dice now." Nanako suddenly reminded her without any expression.

Fushiguro Megumi: "...Okay."

This is definitely the most boring atmosphere for playing human flying chess in the world.

Moreover, why do you call him Hedgehog-headed? She is obviously a mushroom-headed person.

After listening to Xiao Mo's stumbling story, Xia Youjie had mixed feelings for a while.

In fact, she was not unprepared, she just always thought that they were dead, so she didn't dare to come back to face the reality.

...Everything stems from such a misunderstanding.

"Brother Xia Youjie, how have you been doing these past few years?"

Xia Youjie did not answer immediately.

He looked at the sincere and pure eyes in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

He never lies, especially in front of his sister.

But he was worried about what Xiao Mo would do to him now.

In fact, he is completely different from the gentle boy he once was. His hands are stained with monkey...human blood.

His reaction made Xiao Mo misunderstand: "Well, aren't you? I shouldn't ask you this question, brother Xia Youjie."

Xia Youjie didn't react for a while: "Huh?"

"Your best friend left like this, you must be sad...Sorry, I shouldn't have asked just now." Xiao Mo clasped his hands together and expressed his condolences to Wu Tiao who was in heaven.

Enlightenment.

The dull feeling just now seemed to disappear in an instant, and Xia Youjie couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Ah, that guy is still a dead character in Xiao Mo's life.

He felt that she would know about this sooner or later, so it would be better to speak now, which would also make her condition better.

"actually……"

In fact, that guy Gojo Satoru is not dead at all. He is alive and kicking now and is taller than before. You don't need to continue to feel sad.

The examiner in the corner struggled desperately to come up, his eyes widened as if they were about to drip blood, and he made a "wuwuwu" sound.

Xiao Mo guessed that what this bad guy said might be, "Stupid ants dare to treat me like this, I will make you pay the price..."

"He was also the head of the Ogata family before." Xiao Mo held his chin.

"Yeah." Xia Youjie nodded.

"He is a big bad guy. He left the ruined family and a lot of mess to his wife, and then ran away to glory and wealth."

"……Um."

"If he hadn't done this, wouldn't everything have happened?" Xiao Mo suddenly raised his head: "That person...if he had a normal father's teachings, would he have

Can you also have the thoughts of a normal person and not be so extreme?"

Xia Youjie: "...Ah, maybe."

There are no such ‌ ifs in the world.

If she had not left here from beginning to end, if Satoru could have a chat with him in his spare time, if his thoughts were not so extreme and he did not want to create a world without cursed spirits.

"If so, then everything will not change to what it is now.

Maybe he is still partnering with Satoru. As the strongest team in the magic world, they are prosperous and fearless.

"He went too far. He did such bad things to my sword. He also called Mrs. Ogata a stupid woman... He is a scumbag."

Xia Youjie looked at Xiao Mo, whose expression remained unchanged, and asked calmly: "Then... do you want revenge?"

If he wanted revenge, now was indeed a very good opportunity, and he had no ability to resist.

It only takes one moment to make the scum pay the price he deserves.

Xiao Mo nodded and clapped his hands: "Yes! Of course I want revenge! Humans like this should undergo surgery and then be sent to a human/monster shop!"

The examiner looked horrified: "Woooooooooooo!"

Xia Youjie: "......???"

He also mistakenly thought that the revenge his sister said was to kill the other party and make him pay the due price. As a result, he... what on earth did he hear? What has Xiaomo experienced in these years? Who took her there?

Is it so bad?

The children who were lying there playing flying chess were all shocked at this moment. Only Goujuanji didn't understand very well and continued to shake the dice with great enthusiasm.

Xia Youjie felt that it was necessary for him and Xiao Mo to have a good discussion about the values ​​in this area.

"Sister Xiao Mo." Mimiko, who was not far away, suddenly raised her hand: "Then let me give you an example. If you are imprisoned by ignorant villagers because of your unusual physique, you have the opportunity to express your gratitude to the person who imprisoned you.

If the villagers take revenge..."

Mimiko was telling her own example. She seemed not to have thought that the girl in front of her would be consistent with the experiences she and her sister had.

"Hey, is that like that? It's too cheap to kill them all at once. Revenge has to be done slowly." Xiao Mo held Cong Yunya on his waist with his hand: "However, that's what I said, I suggest

It’s better to stab them to death to prevent them from jumping around in the future.”

She still remembers things like the time when she spared the lives of bad guys, only for them to kill their friends.

She meant something, referring to the former Ogata family.

The painful lesson made Xiao Mo understand that he must never be merciful to the enemy. This is a lesson learned from Wu Jiao Satoru and their lives (?).

Nanako and Mimiko's eyes suddenly lit up.

They came forward, their eyes sparkling, changed their previous attitude, and asked kindly: "So, sister, is there any way to slowly take revenge?"

Xiao Mo sat up straight: "This is a great method. Let me tell you. For example, you can put them on a pillar with a fire underneath and roast them, and then heal them halfway through the roasting. Once the wounds are healed, continue.

bake."

"Also, soak the person's body in boiling water until it looks like tofu, and then take out a steel brush filled with steel nails—"

Nanako and Mimiko nodded after hearing this, sighing inwardly that it was a pity that it could not be practiced on dead people.

The dice in the dog roll fell to the ground with a clatter, and the young man's expression seemed a little doubtful about life at this moment.

Fushiguro Megumi: "..."

Why did he feel at this moment that the woman had a pair of devil horns on her head?

Xia Youjie: "...Xiao Mo."

"Um?"

"Did anyone teach you this... way of revenge?"

"No?"

She put on a harmless look and said innocently: "Maybe it happened before, but I don't remember it anymore."

Maybe there was a flash of a ghost figure carrying a mace in her mind at this moment, but she didn't think about it in detail.

The examiner was shocked when he heard this, held his breath, and did not even dare to continue humming.

"By the way." Xia Youjie changed the topic: "There is a young man younger than me who is also looking for you."

At first, he mistakenly thought that the other person was Xiao Mo's new brother, but later he put it down after seeing that he only got close to animals and had a good attitude towards younger children.

"Is it...that big brother with the red armband?" Xiao Mo asked.

After getting a positive answer, she let out a sigh of relief: "Is that so? He is fine now. It's really great."

Talk about a skylark, a skylark has arrived.

The chairman seemed to be walking with a breeze, his suit was flowing in the wind, and he acted as if he had just passed by the corridor. After briefly glancing sideways at the situation, he left without stopping.

He came handsome and left handsome.

Hibari Kyouya took two steps forward handsomely, but as if he was thinking of something, he suddenly turned back halfway, pulled out the duckweed stick, and slapped the face of the judge in the corner.

.

Everyone: "..."

Or is he more practical? He takes action when he says he will take action?
