"……"

"Only when you lose something, you will realize how precious the original ordinariness is." Shi Wu said to the system in his consciousness, "Being taciturn is one thing, but being unable to speak is another."
"When will our vests become normal?"
"And this world is a bit... well, it feels so difficult." Shi Wu looked at the development described in the file with a look of disgust. "
I can understand that sorcerers have to kill ghosts and cast curses. But the world of sorcerers... isn't it a little strange?"
"Why is it that the organization of sorcerers here not only does not fully guarantee the sorcerers' killing and curses, but also hinders them in various ways and harms the precious sorcerers? If you are not careful, you will be sentenced to death-?"
Shi Wu really didn't understand. In his concept, demon slayers and organizations should work together to move forward with determination for a goal.
Everyone should do everything they can, trust each other, protect each other, and be able to leave their backs to their partners at any time.
At the same time, the logistics department will not suddenly stab them in the back.
Killing demons and curses is already a very difficult task, but the sorcerers, who are already few in number, have to hurt each other...
Tokiwa really can't understand it. This is completely contrary to the concept in his mind.
But if you don't care about this, Tokiwa looked at his tasks.
[Task 1: Contact four special sorcerers. (Unfinished)
Task 2: Prevent the "Shibuya Incident". (Unfinished)
Task 3: Be sure to protect your vest. (Unfinished)]
There are several stories written on the file, and the one that Tokiwa is most concerned about is the boy named Otsukotsuki Yuta.
At the age of ten, Otsutsuki Yuuta watched his childhood sweetheart die, and then turned his love into a curse, forcibly keeping the other person in this world.
Tokiwu - it is difficult for Tokiwu not to understand the other person. Tokiwu can empathize with Otsutsuki Yuuta's thoughts and feelings from the bottom of his heart. If he also has this ability, he might also...
Especially after the other person's subsequent behavior, he realized that he had cursed Rika, so he freed Rika - which made Tokiwu have a strong liking for Otsutsuki Yuuta.
"Otsutsuki Yuuta was discovered by the curse world because someone wanted to hurt him, so Rika killed four people to protect him." Tokiwu kept the incident mentioned in the file in his heart.
It is his duty to protect humanity. Even if he is a terrible guy, his life should not be taken away easily.
Especially, Otsukotsuki Yuta also does not want to hurt others.
"In this timeline now... I should be able to stop Rikka, right?" Shiwu and the system confirmed.
"Then, he won't be sentenced to death?" When saying this word, Shiwu couldn't help but complain again: "Is this really a modern society? In my time, the death penalty could not be easily implemented."
Because he recalled Mr. Purgatory - Shiwu is not a fool, the image of the other party in his memory made Shiwu realize the era he once lived in.
And the fact that he can't use high technology also proves this point.
This world is deformed - or rather, the part facing ordinary people is still ordinary, but it is not normal in the world of spells.
They think they are superior and different from ordinary people.
It was difficult for Shiwu to understand their thoughts. Even though Shiwu was much stronger than ordinary people, he also protected ordinary people, but he never felt that he was nobler than anyone else. Shiwu
muttered to himself for a long time, and then he couldn't help but express regret that he really wasn't very good at handling these things, and he wasn't sensitive to this aspect.
So instead of letting him pay attention to these, it would be better to complete the first task, which is the future special sorcerer Otsutsuki Yuta.
Shiwu didn't know the location of Tokyo Jujutsu High School, and the only sorcerer who could be contacted at present was Otsutsuki Yuta. And before Otsutsuki Yuta became a sorcerer, Shiwu would probably have to stay in this position.
So Shiwu began to be in a daze like an idle machine, and became a fixed NPC.
Because he always felt that he would scare people if he took the initiative to step forward, and he didn't quite know how to get along with Otsutsuki Yuta for the time being. So Tokiwa could only observe the other party cautiously - until Otsukotsu Yuuta noticed him.
It was also at this time that Tokiwa and Otsukotsu Yuuta had further contact.
Because they had a high initial favorability, Tokiwa's favorability towards each other increased a lot during this brief time together.
Tokiwa sat on the swing in the park, swinging his legs aimlessly, his eyes dully fixed on the night sky.
The moon today is very bright and beautiful.
One night passed like this, and the next morning, when Otsukotsu Yuuta passed by here again, the shy and timid black-haired boy stopped for the first time and took the initiative to wave to Tokiwa.
Shi Wu blinked, a little surprised, but he also happily bent his eyes and waved to Otkotsu Yuta.
Otkotsu Yuta pointed in the direction of his school and said to Shi Wu, "I'm going to school!"
The distance between them was not too far, only half a park away. But this distance could not make Otkotsu Yuta's voice fall into Shi Wu's ears - but looking at his lip shape, Shi Wu could understand what he meant.
Shi Wu nodded and watched Otkotsu Yuta's figure disappear from his sight.
With this opportunity, Shi Wu and Otkotsu Yuta tacitly maintained this frequency of communication.
Say hello when going to school during the day, and after school, Otkotsu Yuta will stay in the park for a while and chat with Shi Wu for a while. At this time, Rikka would occasionally come out, and Shiwu would take out seemingly endless candies from his pocket and give them to this simple cursed queen.
- Shiwu is always wary of non-humans. But for Rikka, it is difficult for Shiwu to have murderous intent or be on guard.
The reason is simple, he saw a very familiar sense of déjà vu in Rikka.
Rikka would never actively hurt anyone, and when she showed up when they first met, it was because she misunderstood that she would hurt Otsutsuki Yuta.
- This kind of pure love and protectiveness. It reminded Shiwu of the reflection he had seen on the lake.
The two people holding hands.
The pink figure will not actively hurt anyone, but when the person she is protecting is injured or in trouble, she will stretch out her claws and bare her fangs to fight to protect the other party.
Curses are a collection of negative emotions, and these beings are very sensitive to human emotions.
Both Sataka and Otsukotsu Yuta noticed Tokiwa's kindness to Sataka - this made Otsukotsu Yuta, who originally disliked Tokiwa, feel more favorable towards Tokiwa.
So this emotion was shown in Sataka, and she became a little girl (although the appearance of the curse makes this term seem a little inappropriate) and occasionally showed a simple side in front of Tokiwa.
Sataka likes the fruit candy that Tokiwa gave her very much.
Curses cannot be tasted, but Shiwu's candies are not ordinary snacks bought at convenience stores, but special candies exchanged with the system.
Produced by the system, they are absolutely fine products.
This fruit candy actually has no effect, it just allows the curse to have a taste, and at the same time it has a certain effect of calming people's emotions.
They maintained this tacit understanding and got along for more than a month. Shiwu is almost used to this peaceful and daily rhythm.
- However, on this day, Shiwu waited in the same place until it was almost dark, and Otsukotsu Yuta did not pass by the park, which made Shiwu frown.
Shiwu could not go to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, but Otsukotsu Yuta's school was easy to find - because there was only such a school nearby.
Following the direction that Yuuta Ogboku would take every day, Shiwu took the initiative to leave the small park.
The school was very quiet, even a little gloomy.
Campus horror stories have always been enduring. If the system had not recorded the power fluctuations in Yuuta Ogboku's body, Shiwu would have been at a loss for a while and didn't know where to start looking.
That should be the location of the gymnasium. Shiwu frowned and looked at the locked door. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door.
There was a slight movement inside, and Yuuta Ogboku's voice sounded cautiously: "Is there anyone outside?"
Shiwu knocked on the door again.
Yuta Otsukotsu immediately said, "Sorry, can you please open the door? I accidentally got locked in!"
At this time, it was very troublesome not to be able to speak. Shi Wu didn't know where to find the key. He looked at the key on the lock and tilted his head.
It seemed that Shi Wu had not spoken all the time, which made Yuta Otsukotsu hesitate and panic.
Because he could see the curse that ordinary people couldn't see, and the school was not so clean -
the gymnasium was always located in a remote place, and once the door was closed, the light inside would disappear completely.
Most of the time, Okkotsu Yuta would not resist others. When he realized that he was deceived and locked up, Okkotsu Yuta did not have any negative emotions. He even felt relieved because Riko did not do this.
Once Riko realized that he was bullied, his classmates would be hurt. Okkotsu Yuta did not want to see such a thing happen.
But at this time, outside the gymnasium where no one was, in complete darkness, there were sudden knocks on the door...
Otsutsuki Yuta, who had read countless ghost stories and seen curses, said: "..." Shi Wu
didn't know how Otsutsuki Yuta felt at the moment. He looked at the lock, reached out his hand, and broke the key - and the next second, the lock fell to the ground, and with a snap, the door was opened.
Otsutsuki Yuta shrank in the room, his eyes met the light-haired boy with his back to the bright moonlight, and met the eyes that were still clear and clean in the night.
Just like when they met each other on the way to school every day, and after school every day after chatting, the boy would greet him. This time, the light-haired boy still curved his eyes and waved to him who was locked in the gym.
It didn't seem like he was rescued from the gym that was deliberately locked up. Instead, it was no different from every day.
When the other party smiled at him, Yuta Otsutsukoshi suddenly felt a little overwhelmed at this moment.
