Chapter 133: Too weak, Arisa! ...
1512
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
That night, you were so worried about your child's future that you even thought about him in your dreams.
Because it is a cursed spirit and not a human being, it has been looked down upon by other sorcerers since it was a child.
Because it lives in the human world instead of the cursed spirit world, it has always been looked down upon by other cursed spirits.
In this deeply unequal world of sorcery, everyone adheres to this long-standing "rule"—the life of a sorcerer is more valuable than that of a non-sorcerer, and the life of a non-sorcerer is more valuable than that of a cursed spirit...
This is how the world of spells works. It operates according to a set of customary rules, and everyone is subtly following, practicing, and strengthening them.
Including your whole family.
1513
Your child is a cursed spirit of high level but low grade.
Your wife is a sorcerer with great abilities but a bad reputation.
So you, an ordinary person, with such a wife and such children, have become a sorcerer who suffers from cold eyes and discrimination.
Although you attended a high school in sorcery, there was no university in the sorcery world and you needed to support your wife and children, so you had to enter society and work early and became a professional sorcerer under the command of the General Director's Council.
Your wife tells you that a thousand years ago, professional sorcerers like you would be called "Onmyoji", and if you are lucky or capable, you might even hold an official position in the imperial court.
Just like the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki of the past, he once held the official position of Junior Fourth Rank and was a noble person in the palace.
But now we live in a capitalist society, not the feudal society of the past, so professional sorcerers like you have a more appropriate title - social animals, or cattle and horses.
1514
As a low-level person in the world of curse arts, office workers like you are always used at will, and any high-ranking official can pick you up and use you directly.
But this salary, earned through hard work, is not even enough for you to buy a house of your own in downtown Tokyo after working for ten years.
After graduating from technical college, you moved out of your home in Chanyuan and have been living in a rented house with your wife and children.
When you reach middle age—actually not yet, because you are not even thirty years old—your leader, Ye Mo Zhengdao, your former homeroom teacher, tells you that according to what they, the established sorcerers, always say, thirty is already very old, and once you are over thirty-five, your life is completely hopeless.
As everyone knows, thirty-five is a watershed in life!
"I know, Teacher Ye Moth. Because I didn't have much education, and my conditions back then weren't as good as they are now, that's why I hope my children can read more and not follow in my footsteps!"
With a heavy expression, you confessed to your former teacher, saying how different your life would have been if you had studied hard.
But that was all just a bubble.
You can only be like thousands of other parents who haven't received much education, placing unrealistic high hopes on your child. You hope that your child can become an educated cursed spirit, have a stable and comfortable job, instead of struggling for a living like you do.
"Working is very tiring, Zhenren, you must study hard and don't have to work such a tiring job in the future!"
Because you don’t want your children to be like you, having to count the monthly salary with your wife and worry about not having enough living expenses.
So you have to grit your teeth and work hard.
Ever since you graduated from high school, your wife has become a full-time housewife like many traditional Yamato Nadeshiko, which has only added to the financial burden on your shoulders.
But looking at my considerate wife and the child who needs care...
This is the responsibility you must bear as the breadwinner of the family!
1515
But your child was bullied by the sorcerers.
Because it is a cursed spirit, because it is not human.
Because it is not the same as the other children.
Although it is currently attending an ordinary school - because there are no elementary and junior high schools in the world of sorcery - but as a sorcerer from the Zenyuan family, a family of sorcerers, your child will naturally meet other sorcerer children in ordinary banquets and festivals.
Everyone is always pointing at it and whispering.
They said that this was Arisa's cursed son.
They said, it's ok for Arisa to keep that curse-making woman, but why did she insist on keeping this cursed spirit...
They said that this cursed spirit should be exorcised as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too difficult to feel at ease.
1516
Your child is a strong little curse spirit.
The young but sensible Zhenren-chan will always say to you: "It's okay, Mom, I don't care what they say."
But sometimes, it will hesitantly ask you, do you really not care at all that it is not a human child, but a cursed spirit?
"Would you be happier if I were a little human boy?"
The way it asks about you is like Pinocchio imagining that he can find the legendary Lady of the Lake and make a wish to her to become a real human boy.
1517
But this is your child!
Even if there is no blood relationship between you, even if it did not come out of Juanjuan's belly, it is your child!
Your child is so pitifully confirming your love for him/her, and even lacks a sense of identity with his/her own identity, which makes your heart ache.
Juanjuan looked at you and turned her face away silently, tears streaming down her face.
Your heart hurts even more.
1518
It is such a sad thing that you are in middle age but have accomplished nothing. You can't even give your wife and children a happy family and make them smile.
This is even more tragic than you not being able to go to school because you failed to get into high school and becoming a dropout before you even reached adulthood!
Arisa, you are so weak!
1519
You're sweating profusely.
You sat straight up in bed and opened your eyes.
1520
In this world without a magic university or a curse spirit school, you can no longer laugh from the bottom of your heart.
You can't even sleep peacefully, it's so sad.
In such an extreme environment, you realized again——
It's not you who is wrong, it's the world!
If you can't adapt to the world, then you have to make the world adapt to you!
1521
You immediately went into Nitro-chan's room and cooed in her bed, waking her up abruptly.
Nitro-chan opened her eyes drowsily. It was still dark outside, but you didn't know why you were so energetic and tried to wake her up in her quilt.
"What are you doing..." Nitro-chan muttered and was about to close her eyes again.
But you very seriously reach out and pry open her eyelids, and tell her that you need her help!
"…Help with what?"
You said that you think there are huge problems in the world today and that there is room for improvement.
Nitro-chan said "hmmmm".
You said that you believe you must do something for the cause of all mankind, and you decided to contribute your strength to everyone.
Nitro-chan said "hmmmm".
You also said that you decided to create a world where everyone can read, and you decided to make everyone - including non-human things - receive some compulsory education, and then work with you to create a better world!
Nitro sauce said hmmmmmm...
"Um?"
Nitro-chan's tone of voice changed slightly, as if she had heard something strange.
But she was really too sleepy. As a young doctor, she was very busy and severely sleep-deprived.
So she made a doubtful sound for a few seconds, then chose to ignore it.
She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
1522
You tried to let Nitro-chan act as your external brain to complete your plan to change the world, but Nitro-chan's brain failed to start up, and her eyelids were tightly glued together as if they were covered with glue, and you couldn't pry them apart.
Your external brain number one has just crashed.
You are sad.
But how can you give up your plan to save the world because of such a small matter?
So you find your second external brain - Jie, who is also still sleeping.
You did the same thing and woke Jie up again. Jie opened his eyes in a daze and reached out his hand very naturally to tuck the corner of the quilt for you.
Not only that, he also gently patted your back through the quilt, which made you dazed for a moment. Who is the one who is going to be the mother, you or Jie-chan?
1523
It seems that Jie has completely adapted to the fact that there was suddenly another person in the bed while he was sleeping.
Not only that, his ability to accept things is better than others, and he didn't ask you what you want to do like Nitro-chan did.
Jie-chan doesn’t care what you do, he only cares whether you are covered with the quilt.
Thank you, Jie-chan.
1524
But you didn't come here to ask Jie to cover you with a blanket, you wanted him to help you complete your plan.
You told Jie-chan that your dream has always been to become a happy person.
Jiejiang said, I know.
You told Jiejiang that while you hope for your own happiness, you also hope that the people around you can be happy.
Jiejiang said, I know.
You also told Jie-chan that you not only want the people around you to be happy, but you actually want everyone in the world to be happy. This is your "theory of equality."
Jiejiang said, I know.
1525
"The teacher said that people who can read are happy people, and a life with books to read is a happy life."
"I know." Jie-chan still said, "You always believe what the teacher says."
Although Jie-chan has never met your mysterious teacher.
“So, Jie-chan,” you solemnly announced to him, “I’ve decided to create a world where everyone can read, everyone has books to read, and everyone reads their entire lives!”
But Jie-chan: “…?”
1525
You got it, but Jie-chan didn't.
Not only did he not realize it, he was unable to understand it all.
Jie felt like his brain was attacked, and the damage was no less severe than being brainwashed by Wu's [Infinite Space].
1526
"What's happened to you?" Jie-chan couldn't sleep.
He asked you if you were afraid that if you had an affair with a lesbian and had a cursed child, you would be punished by the school and would not be able to graduate and get a diploma.
"What? There's such a thing?!"
You are really stimulated now!
