Chapter 80: There is a sky in the sky [End] Shadow kiss (Ejin) (……
[Character [Nine Square Array] expresses love to [Fushiguro Megumi]]
【Judgment ██】
[Enter the waiting channel]
The dreams that followed were out of control.
The boy's simple feelings are like the cool breeze in summer, which can go straight ahead, but instead they swirl and entwine around him.
They are too embarrassed to speak.
They are never straightforward.
The fiery clouds in the afternoon could not stay in the sky forever, and they both chose to remain silent about the kiss that came so spontaneously.
But for Jiu Fang Zhen, after this kiss, the darkness and nightmare seemed to retreat very tactfully, leaving behind a clean and bright future.
The frequency of the exorcism missions at the technical high school has decreased a lot, and he hasn't been escorted out by Saionji Masaru to do dirty work for a long time. The boys and girls of high school age have a lot of free time to go shopping and play, and his bright eyes can no longer stop him from contacting the outside world! Even the vicious senior schoolmate, the girls of the same period who he doesn't like, and the noisy senior schoolmate, he slowly accepted them over time.
Although Jiu Fang Zhen's hot-tempered character could not be changed, his aggressiveness was greatly reduced, and his habit of attacking people around him changed a lot.
As time passed quickly, he gradually became cheerful and developed into a normal high school boy - but with bad tendencies.
He took off the hat that he always wore, revealing his face that never sees the sun. His expression was obviously unfriendly, but he liked bright colors because he had blurred vision. The bright colors matched that face, which was very deceptive! Once, he was stopped by a sunny and cheerful girl on the street and chatted up!
If it weren't for Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro holding him back, he would have almost punched them out of his habitual victim mentality!
Afterwards, Panda and Goujuanji stared at him for a long time and then cried out that it was unfair!
In public, he would be laughed at by his peers for still being unable to get along with outsiders, even though everyone knew that he had softened a lot.
Behind people...he would pull Megumi Fushiguro and secretly kiss her in a corner where their companions couldn't see them.
The mission was over. In the rainy alley, the two of them squeezed under the eaves and gently touched each other, then separated silently when the auxiliary supervisor's car stopped outside...
When the first and second graders gathered together to sing and play, he would call Fushiguro Megumi, who was quietly eating snacks in his ears, to a deserted place and eagerly exchange breaths...
A group of people were walking together. Jiu Fang Zhen was provoked by a few words, but was calmed down by Fushiguro Megumi and stayed behind with him.
On a lively holiday day, the two girls walking in the front were discussing manicure and hairstyle, the panda in the middle was carefully playing the puppet role, and the dog was talking to the panda in a salmon-like voice.
The sky and the curse disappeared, and there was no need to worry about the trouble of avoiding. Although they were no longer afraid of the crowd, the Nine Squares Array still habitually stuck to another person and walked under the guidance of the other person.
"Can't you let me take the dog?"
"…It's not convenient for the Jade Dog to come out."
So, walking behind everyone, Megumi Fushiguro, who was "convenient", was forced to contribute her slender fingers.
The two boys held hands quietly, not in the sticky way of interlocking their fingers, and they were even reluctant to share the warmth of their palms. Their fingers, which were much cooler than their palms, touched each other from time to time, and occasionally they would gently pinch each other's fingertips. The irritable boy and the school bully in junior high school enjoyed this implicit restraint and sense of distance in a place with their backs to the sun.
This sense of distance would transform into hormones secreted by teenagers at night. The dormitories of the technical high school were adjacent to each other, and the Nine Square Array, which hated the darkness, became uncontrollable after being tacitly accepted in their first attempt. They would sneak to the next door every few days, asking for warm embraces and clean and gentle kisses.
Strangely enough, ever since the first time that Fushiguro Megumi hugged him when he was [crazy] and thrillingly ended the expansion of his domain, Fushiguro Megumi's body seemed to be bound to healing points. As long as he stayed close to him, he could draw strength from this person to stay awake.
During his treatment for frequent bouts of bipolar disorder, the cool air after the rain was like the rope that a rock climber holds tightly to, and it was the addictive drug that the patient relied on to survive.
He still couldn't see the faces of his other companions, but he was completely unaware of this. He did see the portrait of Yuji Itadori in a corner by chance, and then he clearly understood that the man was just an illusion, just as Fushiguro Megumi worriedly repeated, and was a dead person.
The sorcerer has been through so much that he has learned not to care about it.
There was something more concerning to him!
During a mission in the second grade, Fushiguro Megumi rescued a girl. The girl was a spoiled young lady. After asking around, she got the contact information of the young sorcerer and started a two-month-long entanglement with him.
In the past year, Fushiguro Megumi has gained a lot of trust in Kyuubajin's mental state, but he still remains cautious to prevent him from relapsing. The measures he took against the girl included countless blacklistings, serious warnings, and... a declaration that he was not single.
The girl pointed out that this declaration of relationship was a lie. She had already asked his predecessors and teachers and found out that he had very few contacts and did not have a so-called "girlfriend" at all!
Before Fushiguro Megumi could explain that it was not a topic related to his girlfriend, the eldest lady came in person and a violent conflict broke out between him and the Nine Square Array that they encountered by chance at the barrier of Tokyo High Technical School!
Fortunately, Jia Ruyanzi came to save his life.
Jiu Fang Zhen was once again under close observation due to his emotional instability.
Precisely because we have experienced his normal state before, his fluctuating emotions when he is irritated are even more unbearable.
He did not allow Fushiguro Megumi to train in physical skills with others. Anyway, after a year of training, he could fight on equal terms with the shikigami users who inherited ten kinds of shadow magic.
The missions that were supposed to be partnered with Fushiguro Megumi were often snatched away by him, and he would even insist on going with her on easy level 2 missions.
Nobara Kugisaki spoke bluntly: "Hey, you two are so sticky, it really annoys me!" There are only three people left in their class, and these two are hanging out together all day long. Are they bullying me?
The cursed bullet that whizzed towards the Nine Square Formation was narrowly defused by the hammer.
…
I don't know why Fushiguro Megumi is so popular. In just half a year, there are the little girl who saved his life when he was a child and has always taken him as a benchmark, and the mature sister whose company went bankrupt and love was hindered and a cursed spirit was exorcised by him...
He began to ask for a kiss from Megumi Fushiguro openly.
On the playground where he was practicing martial arts, in the back seat of a vehicle that was used to assist in supervising him, in front of the unwilling young lady who had come to him with her parents and bodyguards...
The little lunatic, who only had one person in his eyes, bit the other's lower lip in a daze, and put his hands around the black-haired boy's neck, leaning his whole body on the other's chest. He didn't know how sick his expression was, and Fushiguro Megumi, who closed her eyes awkwardly but didn't push him away, didn't know either. She only saw that the room was getting more and more obscene. Others could see it...
The girl walked away in a huff: "Crazy! Really crazy!"
Crazy, really crazy!
In the dream of Jiu Fang Zhen, Fushiguro Megumi is normal, completely different from the little madman who recovers and relapses, and endlessly torments everyone.
Megumi Fushiguro will always tolerate him.
Therefore, the Nine Square Array, which was sometimes sober, was even more painful and paranoid. They were more greedy than sharks and kept biting the piece of meat on the tip of their teeth!
The aloof young man rejected all the good intentions of his seniors and teachers, and tried his best to avoid the lingering bad love affairs. In the end, he even gave up using his mobile phone, so that the assistant supervision of the notification task could only come to the Nine Square Array...
He is doing everything he can to redeem him...
Dreams are like the subconscious deduction of the Nine Square Array. Whatever the boy thinks might happen and worries about, that is what will happen in this world. Only Fushiguro Megumi! The Nine Square Array questioned and imagined a thousand times, but he never left!
As a result, Jiu Fang Zhen's relapsed condition improved again. His [manic depression] and [delusions of persecution] all subsided, and the irritable boy smiled more often. The three years of high school finally passed smoothly.
The Kyuho family, which he had forgotten about, also disappeared without a trace. The high-ranking officials in the curse world who had tortured him for most of his life seemed to have been completely blocked by Gojo Satoru and had no sense of existence at all!
After graduation, they still haven't broken the window paper between each other, but they have become extremely proficient in the entanglement of lips and tongues, and are so familiar with each other's breathing that they can hear it even with their eyes closed!
Someone asked Fushiguro Megumi when she would get married. From a distance, the Nine Square Array saw Fushiguro Megumi's tightly closed lips next to the unrememberable face of Passerby A.
Sometimes his world would turn upside down, and the boy who clung to Fushiguro Megumi like a snake would tighten his fingertips and stare into his pupils.
What are you thinking about?
Why can't I read your mind?
...Why didn't you say those words?
He has always hated the lack of control. In the past, he couldn't control himself, and now he can't control this person.
But Jiu Fang Zhen thought: On those snowy days in winter, he was the only one who hugged me, gave me warmth, and moved my soul to numbness...
So winter can't do without him.
Not even in summer.
Neither in spring nor in autumn.
That's it.
The Nine Squares thought that it was impossible to escape pessimism.
Let's just live like this.
You didn't say it yourself anyway, did you?
So the result of muddling through is that the last second they were still in a relationship that neither party had ever announced, and the Nine Squares entangled and forced them, wishing they could hug and kiss each other to death and become one...
The next second, the sorcerer world announced the death of the genius sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro, and the people of the Zenin family came to claim his body.
Ten kinds of shadow magic - the techniques passed down by the Zenin family, the nine-square formation now has a sense of reality.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The blue background outside the window, the clean paper, the turning pages of the book...
The fingertips quietly pinched behind my back, the cool summer rain, the window paper waiting to be broken...
His four seasons...
*
…
He struggled to have an unconscious dream, trying to prolong it for another second, and then another second.
Because the most beautiful thing is heaven, and the most real thing is the world.
There are cloud sails hanging high in the sky, blue sparkling water is added to the foam, and the lemon tastes sour but bitter but sweet.
In this world, even breathing is painful.
In his dream, he traveled back and forth between heaven and earth, floating in the air where he could not touch the ground, swinging his arms and legs, breaking free from the invisible air vortex, and swimming towards the sky with all his might.
But before he could reach the foam cloud, he might die of exhaustion and succumb to gravity...
The upside-down sky in the dream finally fell down after waiting anxiously!
*
Megumi Fushiguro was sitting in the back seat of the auxiliary supervisor's car and was awakened by the driver in a daze.
"Class Spell Master, we're here."
The boy with curly black hair rubbed his head, still feeling a slight pain.
When he was looking for the suddenly disappeared Nine Square Formation on the street, he saw a child crossing the road and running forward recklessly without paying attention to the vehicles. He was about to be hit, so he quickly threw him to the side.
The child was unharmed, but he seemed to have accidentally hit his head on some gravel while tumbling.
Soon after, he finally got through to Jiufangzhen on the phone. The person on the other end said that they would go to Mr. He's territory again and told him not to worry.
How can I not worry? Damn it!
Have you forgotten that it is a special grade curse spirit?
But he was determined to go, and no amount of persuasion would work, and threats were useless, or even counterproductive. Fushiguro Megumi could only send a text message to report Gojo Satoru, then get in the auxiliary supervisor's car to go find him.
Summer had not yet passed and the air conditioning in the car was turned on very high. After Fushiguro Megumi simply replied to Inugami Satoru's message, she felt a little drowsy.
He didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't stay awake.
The car had been driving for less than an hour, and he accidentally took an afternoon nap during this time. At this time... I don't know if I can sleep normally at night.
After waking up, it seemed that the impact on my head was not as light as I imagined, and I was still groggy after opening my eyes.
He couldn't tell what he had dreamed about while leaning against the car window. He couldn't get over it even after waking up. He had some emotions that didn't belong to him. His intuition told him that this dream might not be caused by simple sleep, but had very important content. But he really couldn't remember it...
Let's ask Gojo-sensei if he knows any sorcerers who are related to dreams...
Fushiguro Megumi pressed the aching part of his head as he walked, and then decided: No, forget it, I will definitely be laughed at by the unscrupulous adults! It may be a concussion, I should go back to see Dr. Ieori...
When he found the Nine Square Array, the territory had disappeared without a trace. Not to mention the traces of battle, there was not even any trace of the cursed power left!
Jiu Fang Zhen was lying on his side with his back to him, motionless, and his life or death was unknown!
Megumi Fushiguro ran forward to check on him!
Heartbeat, breathing, whether the head was hit hard, whether there were any external injuries on the body...
No.
Fushiguro Megumi did not breathe a sigh of relief. He continued to check, and there was not even a trace of blood on the Jiufangzhen!
No external injuries, normal breathing, unconscious...
It's like falling asleep, but you can't wake up no matter what.
These symptoms seemed to touch Fushiguro Megumi's pain points, and his heart tightened and he was filled with fear.
Never...never!
Don’t be like…!
This is Kyoto, 370 kilometers away from Tokyo. It takes two hours to take the Shinkansen and is a suburb of Kyoto, one hour's drive from the city center.
He didn't know what Mr. He came to Kyoto for, nor did he know what had happened to the Nine Square Array.
He only knew that there was no time to lose, he had to bring the Nine Squares back to Tokyo to find Jialiu Glass as soon as possible!
The auxiliary supervision car was parked two kilometers away. Fushiguro Megumi carried the person on his back and walked quickly in that direction without caring about the discomfort in his head or the nausea caused by hypoglycemia or concussion.
"……"The brain resting on the back of his neck moved, but because Fushiguro Megumi's steps were too big, it was submerged in the ups and downs.
Fushiguro Megumi was unaware of anything until the arm hanging in front of him suddenly rose up and pressed his neck tightly, as if the hug was too tight, or as if he was being choked by fingers from behind!
"Uh, uh..." Fushiguro Megumi was caught off guard and made a choking sound in his throat. The finger pressed on his Adam's apple, and the round nails could not scratch his skin, but Fushiguro Megumi was sure that after letting go, there would definitely be a palm print on his neck!
No matter how uncomfortable Fushiguro Megumi, who was excellent in physical skills, felt, he was better than Jiu Fang Zhen, who had just started and was still confused. What's more, he was very clear-headed! He quickly lifted Jiu Fang Zhen's body on his back and quickly escaped through the gap created by the movement!
Jiu Fang Zhen didn't have time to exert force with his legs and his legs went limp, and Fushiguro Megumi grabbed his arm and helped him up.
In fact, he should be allowed to fall down to sober up, Fushiguro Megumi thought.
Forget it, if you argue too much with him, you will lose!
After the Nine-square Array escaped from the omnipotent dream, or illusion, the blurry scene before his eyes was the scenery that had accompanied him for sixteen years. The inescapable bondage of heaven and curse and the situation of being constrained by others were the true reality.
He stepped on the boundary between dream and reality and fell forward.
…
The falling trend was stopped by a hand.
"Hey, if you can't stand anymore, I'll let go!" Although he said that, he didn't loosen his hand at all.
Seeing that Jiu Fang Zhen had not woken up for a long time but was obviously not seriously injured, Fushiguro Megumi gritted his teeth and said, "Idiot! Use your legs to support me! Hey, hey... How long do you need someone to support you?" Jiu Fang Zhen finally turned his head and looked at him.
Fushiguro Megumi looked into Kyufangzhen's dark eyes and said, "What a trouble!" But in fact, he was relieved to see that the person was fine.
"Fushiguro, Megumi...?"
As the sky gradually darkened, the cold voice that sounded strange yet very familiar was actually different from the one in the dream. Jiu Fang Zhen's brain felt hot, and he was still dizzy and had not yet fully recovered from the sequelae. However, he had already known from the difference that everything that had just happened could not be taken for granted, it was all imagination, or the effect of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's domain.
What a pity...
He looked straight into Fushiguro Megumi's eyes, saw his eyelashes trembling impatiently, and thought to himself.
Fushiguro Megumi was frightened by the look on his face and immediately let go, and the Nine-square Array fell to the ground due to gravity.
"Ah, you actually sat down as soon as I let go of my hand!"
The young man sighed and bent down to pull the man up, "Well, forget it, it's not far, I'll carry you for a short distance..."
He couldn't straighten up after he bent down.
…
He didn't know why he didn't stand up, but just bent over, maybe because his neck was fixed. The back of his shirt was lifted up, revealing a small part of his waist, and it must be cold in the cool breeze.
But he was hot.
After bending for a long time, his waist was still sore, so the boy gave up the action completely and simply knelt on one knee on the ground, which made it easier for him to hug back with his arms.
This feeling...
His mouth was attacked and his neck was strangled, which was very painful, but the boy did not make any move to struggle except at the beginning.
The breathing explodes in my ears, and even the slightest change in the sound can be captured if you get very close.
On the night of late summer, the boys, relying on their physique as sorcerers, still wore thin clothes and did not put on a coat. But this made it easier for the people hugging to grab each other's body temperature, even if they were kneeling or sitting on the cold concrete floor.
On the uneven ground, the setting sun casts overlapping shadows that are infinitely elongated.
The overbearing little lunatic refused to be disobeyed, but while he was biting, he hugged a person tightly, which was no more mature than hugging a quilt or a doll. He was obviously doing what adults do, but he lacked adult manners and was much more childish than an adult.
According to the old-fashioned values of pure love, the first kiss should be very passionate, but Fushiguro Megumi, who quietly returned the kiss, half-closed her eyes and let the warm breath spray on her, and an inexplicable thought came to her mind:
There was no escaping the fingerprints on the back of his neck.
