Finale 05



Finale 05

"はつちゃん? You are in a daze again..."

"I live in the temple. These two kids should stay with Jay."

"Won't Yuki live with me?"

"Even if we live together, we still sleep separately."

"Then I can't—"

"They are still young. It's agreed, Jay. We will set off together tomorrow morning. Get some rest."

"Um."

Coincidentally, this village worships the deity Tianyuan. Though small, the temple is not shabby, evidently regularly maintained. They are also aware of the existence of "Onmyoji" (Onmyojis) who can resolve unusual incidents. Because of its remote location, some of the items are remarkably well-preserved.

There's even a record in the village... There are quite a few sorcerers here. In a village of only a hundred people, a parent and two children can both see cursed spirits and possess the technique. It's incredibly rare. Of all the children of Naobi's uncle, only Naoya can see cursed spirits and possess the technique. And let's not even talk about Uncle Shinichi and Uncle Ougi.

The only special thing about this place is... there's so much malice. You've been to several villages over the past month, and none compare to this place.

Is human nature good or evil at birth?

Jay is disappointed in the humans he wants to protect.

No, not disappointed.

Every sorcerer sees the ugliest side of human nature. The cursed spirit itself represents the ugliness of humanity. Jay simply couldn't stand it anymore.

A kind person like you...will definitely want to change.

Kind people always come into close combat with themselves.

Is what I want Jay to do necessarily right?

What Jay is thinking now is what I am thinking.

Jay's thoughts...

[I want to create a world where there are only sorcerers.]

He and Jiujiu must have a lot to talk about. Jiujiu wants to turn all humans into magicians.

This kind of thing... can't be done.

see……

You can see from birth.

My mother comes from a family of sorcerers. You know the situation well.

Satoru, Jie, and Naoko... almost everyone at the technical high school had developed vision since they were very young. Then there were those two girls. Like Xiaoyu, most people who had "windows" only gradually gained visibility after experiencing a cursed spirit attack.

Curse spirit... environment... curse power...

[It seems that you can't even see the cursed spirit? How did you exorcise it?]

[I can sense it.]

It's not about whether you can see them or not; they've always existed. Why can't ordinary people touch things that exist?

Curse to remove curse.

Astral Plasma are the humans most affected by the Tianyuan barrier.

Do sorcerers and ordinary people really live in the same world?

"Born from darkness, darker than black, all filth and impurity are purged."

You can also set up your own "tent" without the help of Tianyuan's barrier. But - "Master Tianyuan, I am leaving this world."

No response.

What would Lord Tianyuan be thinking in Hongxing Palace?

"Things have finally come to this point"?

You don't regret it.

real.

"Please take care of everyone in the technical college."

Someone is approaching.

"Stop, both of you. Do not be presumptuous in front of the gods and Buddhas."

"***, what is this woman mumbling about?"

"I was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep with that pretty boy, so I decided to do it."

"***! That pretty boy is so *** lucky! Is he not good enough? Such a beautiful girl——"

"Shh! I'm trying to pry the door open."

[Otherwise, we wouldn't have a chance... She's so beautiful... Even prettier than the mothers of those two evildoers...]

"You can't get in. Go back." You didn't want to use the spell anymore. Because it didn't interfere with your perception, there wouldn't be any residual cursed energy left behind like usual. If you used the spell, Jay would know what you did.

Mom, why are some people so stupid and bad?

"Stop bluffing! I'll make you—"

“***! What the hell, I can’t get in!”

"Don't you... know... that I possess 'incredible powers'?"

"Huh? A woman..."

"Your man is not with you——"

"Let me have some fun...Call some more people over. I don't believe it anymore..."

That's enough.

"roll--"

The brain waves stopped beating.

You go into cardiac arrest.

You slowly opened the door and standing at the door was Geto Suguru and the two girls.

Seeing you, Geto Xiayou smiled: "Are you okay?"

You gulped. “I…I’m fine. Why would Jay be out in the middle of the night?”

"I wanted to come see you. はつちゃん is a girl. It's better for you to stay with me."

You feel like you and Jay are performing a crosstalk, saying some really unfunny things.

“I can handle it myself.” The smell of blood… you tried your best to stay calm.

The smell of blood… No… Jay didn’t kill anyone… Maybe he just knocked her out… Jay didn’t kill anyone… Tears welled up in your eyes and you sobbed.

You can live because of me, but you cannot die because of me.

I should just leave...or not come.

I shouldn't have come.

I shouldn't have come...

I shouldn't have come!

"Hatsuchan's way of dealing with things is to persuade them gently?" Blood? Geto Suguru touched his nose. Did the cursed spirit accidentally splash blood on me when it came back?

idiot.

"It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with words, はつちゃん."

“They don’t deserve the death penalty!!!”

"They don't deserve the death penalty?" Xia Youjie shouted, "Even if I die ten thousand times, it wouldn't be a pity! I'm starting to regret killing them directly... I gave them a quick death..."

Yuki's body was trembling.

Geto Suguru hugged you. Even though he was the one who killed them, he still had the heart to comfort you: "Don't be afraid, Haruka-chan. They're bad people. If they're bad people, there's nothing to regret about killing them..."

"If the bad guys disappear, no one will be bothered. Right? Nanako, Mimiko?" Geto Suguru turned around and looked back at the two girls following behind him.

"Master Geto is right," the girls said in unison.

"Let me go!"

"What?" Xia Youjie looked back at you, "No. I won't let you go."

“Jie…” You kept hammering his chest, “Why? Why did you kill them? You could have knocked them out or intimidated them… Why did you kill them…”

【If you want to do that, then do it.】

"Jay..."

Geto Summer Oil stroked your back: "Hatsuchan, I'm very happy now."

Happy? Who would feel happy after killing someone for the first time? How many people have been so overwhelmed with guilt after accidentally killing someone that they were forced to turn themselves in?

Jay is really happy.

Joy and anger are intertwined, but there is no fear.

Jay wasn't horrified by the fact that he'd killed someone. To him, those two people weren't human. Would you care about an ant you accidentally stepped on?

"monkey"……

You remained silent for a long time. Geto Suguru still didn't let go of you; he even held you tighter. "Hatsu-chan," he said, "Being unable to reveal your true self, forced to wear a mask and live as someone else, the pain caused by this is the root of all ills."

"It's Saito Shigeo's worldview series." You said sullenly.

"good."

"As long as Akio's love is unforgettable, shouldn't Shimaki be the one who bows his head in shame and retreats?" "Tokyo People" by Yasunari Kawabata.

He won't watch this stuff anymore.

"Jay is in pain... I'm sorry, I..."

Geto Suguru pressed his thumb against your lips.

Want to kiss her.

Why can't I? Why wasn't I chosen?

"I love you" - "Unspoken love is just a desire hidden in the heart."

Desire... If there is only desire, what is the difference between you and those monkeys?

"Hatsu-chan, why does a sorcerer have to disguise himself? You don't have to answer me. Hatsu-chan once suggested that I be an 'ordinary person', but a sorcerer can't be an ordinary person."

"We are born special. Because we are special, we are out of tune with the world."

"I want to create a world where there are only sorcerers."

"This is what I really think. Would you like to help me, はつちゃん? You are also annoyed by these ugly things, right?"

"Jay...what are you going to do?"

Xia Yujie was stunned for a few seconds, then he said calmly and happily: "Kill all ordinary people."

What a ridiculous, naive idea. Only at this moment did you suddenly realize that the strongest fighting force in the world of spells was composed of three minors.

Jay can't do it. You didn't say this to him.

If delusion can relieve his symptoms, then let him be delusional.

Without delusions, I cannot survive.

Jay's will to survive is far stronger than yours.

The body was not nearby.

Are you afraid of scaring the two girls so you let the cursed spirit take them somewhere else to be dealt with?

Still as considerate as ever at this time.

[Otherwise, we wouldn't have a chance... She's so beautiful... Even prettier than the mothers of those two disaster stars...]

[We want you to stand on our side.]

You have no desire to explore the past of this village. You are exhausted. To encounter such a thing at the end of your life... is truly terrible.

"That's enough. Let's get out of here."

"Leaving...? Where to?" Geto said happily, "Hatsu-chan, are you coming with me?"

"Is Jay planning to defect and become a curse master?"

"I killed people with magic. I can't hide it."

"I'm not with Jay. I have my own path to follow."

"That's right... Will Hatsu-chan and Satoru live happily?" Geto Suguru finally let go of you.

"I hope to realize happiness."

"I see... Satoru is a really lucky guy."

"Jay," you asked him, looking down at him, "You killed those two people directly. Was it for me?"

"Are you blaming yourself, Hanatsu-chan? I can tell you very clearly, you're not. When I saw Nanako and Mimiko today, I wanted to kill everyone in the village. But I know Hanatsu-chan would definitely not agree. You saved a lot of people from me."

Jay, really, he still has the mind to joke at this time. He makes it seem like those people are already on the death list.

In a sense, that's true.

That dream...

"Compared to the corpse of a stranger, I would rather not see the body of a companion in the infirmary of Nitro."

"Hatsu-chan, when sorcerers reach the level of you and me, cursed spirits no longer pose a threat to our lives. We stood at the finish line, watching the bodies of our companions pile up on the road. I couldn't stand it. Without ordinary people, sorcerers wouldn't have to work so hard for them."

"Don't take it lightly, Jay." No... death threats...? I have to make sure that person doesn't find my body.

"We are 'Special Grade', はつちゃん. We can exorcise even special grade cursed spirits."

"I thought Hantsu-chan would hate me even more for being like this. It's great that we can still have such a calm and indifferent conversation." This is enough... Will this be the last time we see each other?

I really want to hug her again.

"Jay is an idealist. Idealists desire to realize their ideals. Comics always have villains to create plot tension. However, many villains are not true villains; they simply follow a path that is inconsistent with the protagonist and the general public."

"I think Jie is wrong. But as long as Jie always thinks he's right, even I can't change anything. You tried to change for me... but it's good that Jie can stick to his heart. Satoru will always be against you."

"I won't be caught by you."

"Um."

"Stop saying 'I'll be your enemy next time we meet,' はつちゃん."

"Jay really has a sense of ritual."

Killing evil...

Jay didn't mean to kill me. I didn't want to kill Jay either.

Let me take half of the blame for the murder that Jie committed.

I clearly don't want anyone else to die because of me.

It's selfish...

"Can you promise me something?"

"What?"

Jay can... forget it.

Bad guy, good guy.

None of it makes sense.

[Because your choice is meaningless, Miss Zenyuan. Many things in this world are predestined, and your participation or not has no effect on their ultimate trajectory.]

This is the final... trajectory.

The only person he saved was Haibara. Nanami and Haibara trained so hard, they should become very powerful sorcerers and would not die easily.

"Are you going to take these two girls with you, Jay?"

"Let's follow Master Geto." Nanako said immediately.

"Then you will follow him from now on."

Is this correct?

Technical college is definitely not the place for them. Doing something you don't want to do, like Jay, will be very painful.

Don't let them kill anyone.

"I know. How could I let my child do such dirty work?"

"Why don't you stand on our side? We are the same kind of people, right?" Mimiko asked you in a low voice.

【Mother……】

"Don't think about things you can't figure out. Save your energy, we have to set off at night." You patted her head.

"Why did Jay release so many curse spirits?"

"I don't think the principled Hanatsuchan would be willing to embarrass the villagers. So we'll have to let the cursed spirit explore the way. Come on up."

Um?

"Can the Curse Spirit be ridden? Jay lied to me--" for a long time.

"Isn't Mimiko afraid of the dark?" Geto Suguru avoided your gaze.

"What's with that fire?" You pointed at the Shiranui near the cursed spirit.

“Well…ha, ha…”

The three of them are in the same group... They teamed up to bully you—you've only known each other for less than a day, right? How could they be so familiar with each other?

"はつちゃん... Who told you to always be so kind... The burden of the curse spirit is limited, so I'll carry him."

"Jay, put another one out, or I'll go on my own."

"Hatsuchan is walking too slowly." He said this, but did not release the curse spirit.

"はつちゃん, I won't give it to you."

The first priority for these cursed spirits to receive instructions is Jie.

"Want to control me? Sure."

"No." Which little cutie in the forest should I choose... I'm used to doing things by myself when I'm out.

"Deer? I can't do anything about you. Can't you, はつちゃん, give me a little more to think about?"

"Nian Xiang? Jie was just squatting outside, right?" You stared at him.

"Well... I just don't trust them. Even if Hantsu-chan says they're sincere, I won't believe it. If nothing had happened... we could still... go back to high school together." That was impossible.

"I'll take you to the entrance of the high school. Don't call anyone out to arrest me. I don't want to be caught on the first day of my defection."

Jay joked with you more today than he has in the past few years combined.

"Jie...you don't have to send me to the entrance of the high school."

【Doctor, I'll wait for you at the beach. 】

Can link so far...

No wonder Shuiyue always knew where you were.

Shuiyue's sadness and exhaustion affected you.

You feel the same way he does.

Before my eyes were the azure waves and eyes as blue as the sky.

I have to...go over there.

"Hmm?" Geto Summer Oil narrowed his eyes, "What are you sad about, Hatsu-chan?"

"I'm sad that we've come to this." Why did things turn out this way? In that dream, Riko and Shinji also died, and both had astral bodies that assimilated with Tengen.

...There is no Kiyoko.

There was no me in the dream, and naturally there was no Qingzi, who had a close relationship with me.

But there's Riko and Shijiro. And there's Satoru, Jie, Naoko, and others.

Then there was Haibara. Haibara and Nanami were saved by you.

Finally... finally, Jay.

One of the reasons why Jie defected in the dream seemed to be Huibara's death. However, Huibara didn't die and he still chose to defect.

Sacrifice...?

"Don't blame yourself too much, Hatsu-chan. None of this has anything to do with you. This was my own choice. Those two scumbags deserved to die—"

"We're lost."

Geto Suguru:?

"There's trees all around here, and the scenery is so uniform," you offered. It's too late to go back to the technical college anyway. Should we continue wandering around in the mountains?

"Do you know how to get down the mountain?"

The deer didn't know.

Wild animals stay away from places where humans live.

"Then just bulldoze it violently."

you:?

Those who set fire to mountains will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

"Isn't this bad?"

"I'm a curse master, why should I follow those rules? Don't you want to go back quickly, はつちゃん?"

"I want to go back. I had an appointment with Glass to go shopping together tonight." You broke the appointment again.

"That's it." Geto Xia Yu comforted you: "If it's not possible today, then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

はつちゃんDo you feel lonely beside me? From now on, we are no longer on the same path.

Can I still go see her?

"We'll be enemies next time we meet," I even had to avoid her, the farther away from her the better, otherwise she would find out.

Take advantage of now... to look at her more.

"We seem to be almost out. Jie, collect all the cursed spirits." Jie's cursed spirit manipulation has no distance limit, which is really enviable. He is suitable for intelligence work... On the other hand, it is difficult for a cursed spirit to find him.

Will Jay do a lot of evil things?

Am I an accomplice?

Leave it all to Wu?

Satoru could handle it—Satoru was strong.

I would rather Satoru not be so strong.

I'm sorry, Satoru.

We can't... grow old together.

You must be happy.

"Are there any restrictions on how Jay can release and retract cursed spirits?"

"No."

"I see...Jie, have you ever thought about what your parents should do?"

Kill—"Let it be." Better not do it yourself. Think of another way. They'll live in regret and guilt for giving birth to a son like me. It's better to die and be free. Hasukan has a good relationship with his parents... She can't accept me doing something like this. Even at this point, you're still pretending, Suguru Jie—"There's a high probability they'll be imprisoned by the higher-ups and used to threaten Jie. But Satoru will take care of them."

Enlightenment?
