Chapter 89: The Eighty-Nineth Day of Max Level
Chapter 89
Mimiko and Nanako are going back to Bankei Cult headquarters today.
Two years ago, when they reached school age, they refused to leave Geto Suguru's side no matter what, and rolled around like crazy. Finally, they decided not to go to Jujutsu High School.
Ever since Geto Sagau graduated and left technical high school to take over the affairs of Panxing Church, the two sisters have followed him throughout the whole process and have given themselves the title of "all-round assistant".
Then, Geto Suguru at that time swiftly rejected him: "No."
The twins looked at each other and began to speak one after another in tacit understanding.
Mimiko's voice was low. "We work hard every day to control our magical powers and we'll actively strengthen our physical exercise."
Nanako, on the other hand, is more outgoing and cheerful: "We also read diligently every day... Whether it's a textbook or something that makes you feel like, 'Wow! I've learned so much!' We keep reading!"
Mimiko opened her eyes wide. "So anything we need to learn, we can learn on our own."
Nanako clasped her hands together and said, "Please, Master Geto! Please let us stay by your side!"
Geto nodded and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. Of course, I will respect your personal opinions..."
Mimiko/Nanako: “!” Great!
Geto Xia Yu, who has already raised a child with the maximum level of training value, has rich experience in raising cubs.
Donning the exclusive robes of the Panxing Cult leader, he emanated a holy light called "Great Love." He gently moved his lips.
"You don't have to go to technical college, but you are forbidden to skip school."
Xia Yujie gave a gentle smile and said, "Don't even think about working if you're underage. Just study hard!"
He said extremely heartless words.
But it turned out that Geto Suguru's judgment was indeed good.
Mimiko and Nanako have been admitted to a local high school and have no plans to continue their studies after graduation.
Xia Youjie changed his attitude from a few years ago and did not interfere with their decision. The two sisters guessed that it was because they would have reached adulthood by the time Le arrived...
Come to think of it, Master Getu is very particular about the definition of adulthood and minors.
The same persistence is also the current first-level sorcerer Nanami Kento, who always likes to say "I am an adult and you are children".
Occasionally, Mimiko and Nanako would spontaneously go to clear the cursed spirits in the nearby areas. If they happened to meet him, they would definitely be treated like a newcomer and receive comprehensive care.
Nanako muttered, "Look down on us."
Nanami Kento replied: "That doesn't exist."
Nanako turned her head away in dissatisfaction and sulked alone. Mimiko looked at her and thought thoughtfully: According to the usual routine, it's my turn to take action.
“…If Nanami-senpai is willing to treat us to popsicles, we won’t be angry with you,” said Mimiko.
Nanami Kento quickly bandaged his blunt knife and sheathed it.
He messaged the assistant supervisor, lowering his head: "What type do you want?"
Nanako, who was sulking just now, stretched out her arm without looking back and made a "two" sign with her fingers: "Mango flavor!"
Mimiko didn't say anything.
Nanami Kento walked towards the cold drink shop next door.
When he came out, he was holding two plastic bags, a mango and a lemon.
Mimiko's eyes lit up, and she rummaged through her bag, pulling out a small, creased card. She handed it over: "A coupon for the bakery at the end of the alley."
Nanako said, "If you want to buy it, go buy it early. It's not that it will expire, but I think that store is so inconspicuous that it will go bankrupt sooner or later..."
In this way, each twin got a popsicle, and Kento Nanami got forgiveness (?) and a bakery coupon, so both sides gained a lot.
In fact, jokes like this happened many times. Mimiko and Nanako stayed in the technical high school for a few years and had a close relationship with all the teachers and students in the school.
"Nanami-senpai, I suddenly realized recently that maybe the reason why Master Geta asked us to study hard is not to get into college." Nanako fell backwards and lay on the ground.
Nanako: "Because Master Geto doesn't care about our grades at all, he only cares about our life in school..."
"Let's put it this way, if I tell Master Geto that we have an important test today, he won't care about the final score, but that we completed it smoothly."
Mimiko added, "Even though we don't care about grades, if our test scores improve, we'll definitely be praised by Master Gouyu. Even if we fail a test, we won't be criticized. He'll help us find the reason why we failed."
Nanako: "School life... well, the classmates and clubs are pretty interesting. It's not as dull as the Jujutsu world. Ordinary people are really good at finding happiness for themselves!"
The twins chattered back and forth for a long time before they showed any signs of stopping.
After a long while, they heard Nanami Kento say, "Perhaps it was precisely because I could hear these ordinary stories that I chose to stay and become a sorcerer."
Nanami Kento said seriously, "But the main purpose is to retire early."
Nanako was speechless: "...I knew it!"
Back to reality, they crossed the intersection and could see the Panxing Sect headquarters building in the distance.
The front door is bustling with people, and the traffic will increase over time.
As they approached the door, the noisy sounds around them became louder and louder. Nanako and Mimiko caught sight of a familiar figure in the crowd. It was Haibara Yu.
"If there are any misunderstandings, just talk it out as soon as possible...don't fight!" Haibara Yu was trying to reconcile.
However, the two people who were arguing just glanced at him and ignored him completely.
So Huiyuan Xiong picked them up one by one and carried them away from the main entrance. After he was done, he clapped his hands and continued to persuade them to reconcile: "You need to communicate well!"
The quarrel between the two paused for two seconds: "..."
Wait, how were they moved just now?
Can you describe someone weighing dozens of kilograms as "lifting"?!
There was no time to think. Under the physical influence of Haibara Yu, the two finally gave up their preparations for fighting and started to concentrate on attacking each other with words.
"You are leading my child astray!" Parent A took the initiative.
"Bullshit! It was clearly your child who misled ours first!" Parent B refused to give in.
Huiyuan Xiong suddenly realized: "So this is what they are arguing about."
Parent A's voice was aggressive: "Those who give money to religious groups every month should stop polluting our children, okay? Do you think everyone believes in some random religion?"
Parent B was furious: "How dare you...how dare you insult my faith!?"
After hearing the details of the quarrel between the two, Nanako and Mimiko's faces instantly darkened.
I thought it was just an ordinary conflict, but now it seems that standing at the door of Panxing Sect has a hidden meaning and will affect the lives of the sect members.
Mimiko and Nanako had helped handle many matters of the cult and understood some key words like "reputation" and "competition among peers."
Even without delving into the underlying reason behind the argument between the two adults at the cult's gate, the mere excuse of "bullying members" was enough to get them out.
Mimiko recalled softly, "Grandma Geto once said there is only one kind of inequality in the world."
Nanako continued, "That's the inequality between people."
Mimiko: "But no matter how powerful a human is, they are still human. No matter how weak a human is, they are still human."
Nanako: "Before inequality arose, we were all ordinary people."
"So don't be angry, don't be angry..." The two calmed down and found that they still couldn't convince themselves.
I might as well use my ultimate move: "I will look down on everyone who looks down on others equally!"
After thinking about it, they looked at Parent A with cold eyes, as if they were watching a monkey in a civilized manner.
Mimiko and Nanako calmly stepped forward to resolve the dispute.
The quarrel between the two attracted many onlookers.
Parent B suddenly remembered something: "I've already told you, it's just normal conversation between kids looking for playmates. Why would you take it so seriously and misinterpret our meaning? They're only a few years old!"
The onlookers all echoed what Parent B said.
"A normal conversation?" Parent A blushed. "Just listen to the topic. 'What is the meaning of life?' At what age would a child be able to come up with a conversation like that on his own?"
The onlookers were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and began to support Parent A's guess.
After a while, the two of them, perhaps tired of arguing, began to care about their surroundings: "Where is my child?"
Huiyuan Xiong listened carefully for a long time, but his emphasis was a little off: "So what is the meaning of life?"
"Nothing."
Next to the flower bed, a person holding a red umbrella attracted people's attention.
If you look closely, you will find that the two children at the center of the dispute are leaning quietly beside her, waiting for the next words with expectant faces.
Parents A and B hurried over and grabbed their children, but were met with unanimous resistance from the children.
"I want to hear the beautiful sister finish her story!"
"Well, last time we talked about how the fearless hero overcame all obstacles and finally arrived before the Demon King of Dragon City..."
[Sometimes it's a dragon, sometimes it's a demon king. What's the underlying premise of this story? Is it a dragon quest or a hero slaying a demon king?]
A familiar yet unfamiliar sound of complaints.
The children were confused: "Wasn't the previous setting... the evil dragon in the Demon King's Castle?"
"Really? Don't worry about that." The man holding the red umbrella continued in a clear voice, "The hero took out the level 99+ golden sword Curry Stick and declared an attack on the Demon King."
"And just at this moment, the Demon King asked the hero a question - [What is the meaning of life?]"
System: [Why is it still connected?! Is this part at the beginning of the story?!]
The hero replied: "To defeat you and rescue the princess!"
The devil asked the hero, "Why did you save her? Was it for the wealth the king promised you, or the sense of accomplishment you would get after killing me?"
The devil retorted, "You know, even if I die, the poor people in this world will not disappear, and the rich will still have leftover rice stored in their warehouses."
“Everything you do is just a setting in the game. You are just a tool to advance the game.”
"—Your existence is meaningless."
The children's expressions changed from an expectant "OUO" to a confused "OAO".
Parent A quickly covered the child's ears and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Child B asked, "So, what happened next? What did the hero say?"
The hero said nothing, but tightened his grip on the golden sword, Curry Stick. After the Demon King finished speaking, he scratched his ears impatiently.
"?"
The hero said, "Yes, you're right. As a game character, every time I turn on the computer, I have to be controlled by different players and killed step by step. I'm already tired of it."
"But so what? I'll still kill you in the end, no matter how much nonsense you talk."
"According to your logic, do the fates of those poor or wealthy characters have anything to do with you? Did you change their circumstances? Or are you simply trying to overwhelm me with the public opinion and moral sense of your people through these lines?"
"Okay, you hit the nail on the head." The brave man snapped his fingers. "There will definitely be people who believe your lies. So how are you going to respond to your next statement? [This is a game world.]"
The hero smiled and said, "I don't care what others think, because in the game, I am terrifyingly strong."
The person holding the red umbrella walked to the middle and patted Parent A and Child A on the shoulders.
"Do you know why the dragon asked that question in the first place?"
Child A was stunned: "Isn't it the devil?"
"Then let's go to the Demon King."
Child A: “I don’t know…”
The person holding the red umbrella looked at Parent A and gave a gentle and lovely smile: "Because, when people's eyes are dirty, everything they see is dirty."
Child A: QAQ
She bluntly told the adults, "People who treat others harshly might also think of themselves as meaningless."
Parent A's face turned pale.
Under the gaze of all the onlookers, Parent A wanted to bury his head in the ground and grab his child as quickly as possible and run away.
After the crowd dispersed, the system couldn't help but reveal its true form and loudly complained, "Who added the adjective? Is the word 'gentle and cute' really appropriate? It should be at least 'devilish' when used on Kanako!"
"...Kanako-sama?"
"Kanako-san!" Haibara Yu said in surprise.
Mimiko and Nanako rushed over and hugged her.
At that moment, they were about to say what they had been holding back, but they hesitated after seeing Kanako's face clearly.
Ten years seemed very short, so short that before they could fully stand on their own, their old friends returned.
Ten years seemed like a very long time, so long that they could hardly understand Kanako's expression.
The girl in my memory who was always passionate and unrestrained no longer had a warm smile on her face.
Instead, there was a vague sense of alienation, and her expression and voice were tinged with a layer of superior indifference.
Even though Kanako tried to say, "I'm back."
But that feeling of disharmony could not be easily overcome. Mimiko and Nanako were anxiously looking for their own problems, feeling extremely worried.
Why are you hesitating? Is it because you don't trust Kanako-sama?
How could I not trust Kanako? She's Kanako-sama!
Haibara Yu said energetically, "Welcome back! Kanako-san!"
“…” Kanako took everything in.
She didn't think much about it, but just wondered with melancholy: How did humans domesticate their limbs in the first place?
I'm a little bit unsure of the feeling.
【Author’s words】
Mimiko and Nanako's subconscious reactions are related to the fusion of worlds. I'm not sure how to weave it in, so I'll explain it in a story.
Imagine there are a few world lines where one day after they learned that Geto Suguru was dead, they saw Brain Flower with a shell on his head and greeted them enthusiastically...
This has caused them to subconsciously not adapt well to the "same shell" and "big personality change" x,
The next chapter will feature Master Geto!
