Chapter 57
"Okay...actually the name doesn't matter," Xia Youjie, who was teased by Baichuanmu, shrugged helplessly, with an inclusive and gentle smile.
Bai Chuanmu pursed his lips and smiled, and sighed: "As expected of Jie."
Xia Youjie had already noticed the pile of things in Baichuanmu's hands, and he asked, "Mom, what are you doing..."
Baichuan Mu let go of Jiaru Xiaozi's hand, tapped Xiayou Jie's head, and said, "You forgot to bring your lunch box, didn't you notice?"
"Oh!" Xia Youjie just remembered that he forgot to bring his lunch box. Before going to school, he went upstairs to get the textbooks he missed, but he forgot to pack the lunch box on the counter. "Thank you, mom... that, uh..."
Xia Youjie felt the gazes around him. The school corridor was obviously not a suitable place to talk, with so many ordinary people around. Xia Youjie was very curious about his future classmate brought by Baichuan Mu, a rare sorcerer of the same age. But now, saying words like "sorcerer" and "curse spirit" would definitely attract attention.
Children are naturally curious, and the three of them have been the focus of attention for a while.
"Let's go to the rooftop?" Xia Youjie suggested. He noticed that Baichuanmu's bag was bulging. It was obvious that there was more than just his lunch box in it. Jialiu Naoko was also holding food in her hands. He guessed that they were going to have lunch together. "The view from the school rooftop is pretty good, and there aren't many people there."
Baichuanmu nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Led by Geto Suguru, Baichuan Mu and Ieiri Naoko followed him to the top floor, but the door to the rooftop was locked, and there were two locks. One lock had some rust on it and looked very old, while the other lock was brand new, probably added recently, and looked thicker than the old lock.
Ieiri Naoko said, "It seems that your school doesn't allow students to go to the rooftop casually. Do you want to find another place? Like the activity room?"
"No big deal." Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers. A cursed spirit that looked like a stick insect emerged from his fingers.
"Curse spirit?" Jiarui Naoko was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes fell on the shadow under Baichuanmu's feet, "So it turns out that the person who can control the curse spirit is you."
Baichuanmu looked helpless: "Glass, so you never believed me? I am really just an ordinary person."
Ieiri Naoko blinked her eyes and said, "It's not that I don't believe Sister Mumu... You can be considered to have control over the cursed spirits, right?"
Xia Youjie replied: "Yes, my cursed spirit is my mother's cursed spirit."
Baichuanmu burst out laughing. That was true. Xiayou Jie was very active in recommending cursed spirits to her. Now she only accepted Black Shadow and Cat and Dog. Xiao Hei was also returned to Xiayou Jie.
The stick insect spirit fiddled with the keyhole for a few times, and after a slight "click" sound, the old lock was opened. Xia Yujie brought it closer to the keyhole of the new lock, and the stick insect spirit used the same trick again, using its needle-slender branches to continue prying the lock, but this time the speed of opening the lock was a little slower than before.
Xia Yujie finished speaking: "Wait a minute, this lock is newly added, it still needs to be tested."
"Oh?" Bai Chuanmu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Jie is very skilled~"
Xia Youjie met Baichuanmu's gaze and shrank his head guiltily: "Well...well, I only come to the rooftop to play occasionally, and I always lock it properly."
In fact, Geto Xiayou would come to the rooftop to eat every lunch time. He was quite popular, but he only made a few friends and didn't have deep friendships. He always felt that there was a gap between him and his peers, which was inevitable because they were from two different worlds.
"Hahaha, mom doesn't mean to blame you, but Jie, you have to remember that your own safety should be the first priority in everything. Although being a sorcerer will inevitably lead to dangers, you must protect yourself well. If Jie gets hurt, mom will be sad." Baichuanmu rubbed Xiayou Jie's head, lowered his eyes and said with a smile.
"Yes, I will." Xia Yujie smiled and nodded slightly. He noticed the gaze of Jiaru Nozomi next to him. Although she didn't say anything, there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.
Xia Yujie thought of the "mama's boy" that Gojo Satoru mentioned, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Now he is in the third grade of elementary school and not a kindergarten kid. He should be an upright boy and protect his mother!
"Mom, why don't I add another bodyguard for you, how about Big Cockroach?" Xia Youjie suggested. Big Cockroach 2.0 is the most powerful cursed spirit he has on hand. To protect his mother, he must give her the best. Big Cockroach 2.0 deserves it.
"No, thank you." Bai Chuanmu refused without hesitation, and took a small step back, even looking away, fearing that Geto Xiayou would suddenly summon out the Big Cockroach 2.0.
However, Baichuanmu thought about it carefully again. Now that he was not wearing the cursed glasses, even if Geto Suguru summoned the giant cockroach 2.0, he would not be able to see it. Thinking of this, Baichuanmu was no longer afraid.
"Big cockroach?" Ieiri Shoko found it a little unbelievable. The name made her feel a little uncomfortable. Why did Geto Xia want to give it to Baichuan Mu?
"Yes, do you want to take a look?" Xia Yujie tried to persuade him with a narrowed smile.
Ieiri Naoko couldn't help but show disgust on her face. This guy, must have done it on purpose...
Jiarui Naoko looked up at Baichuanmu. At this time, Baichuanmu had adjusted her expression and looked calm. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is worthy of being Sister Mumu. Well, how could someone as cunning as Sister Mumu be afraid of anything?
"Hey, wait," Baichuanmu stopped her. Although she couldn't see, Jiaru Xiaozi could see it. "Jie, this might scare Xiaozi~"
Ieiri Naoko shook her head, with a firm face: "You won't scare me! I want to learn from Sister Mumu!"
Baichuanmu:?
What are you learning? I am a monkey. I am not afraid because I can't see.
At this moment, with a light "click" sound, the stick insect curse spirit finally opened the new lock. It raised its two front paws, as if celebrating, or as if waiting for praise.
"Well done." Xia Youjie touched its head with his thumb, put it away, and then looked at Baichuanmu and said, "Mom, are you really not going to show it to classmate Jiaru? She seems very curious!"
Bai Chuanmu's mouth twitched, thinking, "My son, when you say this, can you put away your sinister expression? And what kind of strange filter do you have for me? Do you think that if Jia Ru Nitro is afraid of the big cockroach curse spirit, then I, your mother, won't be afraid of it? !
"Forget it," Bai Chuanmu said helplessly, patting his small bag, "Don't some cursed spirits have a strange smell? It will affect your appetite... Don't take it out after eating, let's talk about this later."
This matter has to be done step by step. Most of the cursed spirits that Jiali Nozomi has seen so far are just small fry. She probably hasn't encountered any fourth-level or third-level cursed spirits.
Xiayou Jie has seen so many cursed spirits because he takes the initiative to look for them. Every weekend, Baichuan Mu takes him to various places to play, one for leisure and entertainment, and the other to see if there are any cursed spirits breeding in other places. However, Ieiri Shoko avoids them.
"Okay." Xia Youjie took off the two locks and temporarily placed them on the ground. "We'll collect them later. Even if they are locked, it doesn't matter. We can take the flying curse spirit down."
"It seems that you are very experienced, Jie." Bai Chuanmu said with a smile.
Xia Youjie looked away again with a guilty look: "The teacher doesn't allow us to go to the rooftop. Before, a teacher saw that the rooftop was open and came up to look for anyone. I used the curse spirit to escape... If I get caught, I may have to write a self-criticism."
Baichuanmu breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a little worried about why Xia Youjie was locked up on the rooftop.
However, Baichuan Mu also knew that Xia Youjie was not someone who would be bullied. He had good relationships with people and his gentle personality made him very popular among children. It was just because he possessed talents that most people did not have and there was a generation gap between him and others, so it was difficult to consider him as a friend. At least in his heart, he did not meet the standard of a friend and was just a classmate with whom he had a good relationship.
"Be careful, Jie," Baichuanmu tapped Xiayou Jie's head, "The flying curse spirit you have now is only good at low-altitude flying, right?"
Xia Yujie opened the door to the rooftop and scratched his cheek: "It's no problem to fly at a low altitude for a short time... But sooner or later I will tame the cursed spirit that can fly freely, and then I will take you to fly with me."
"Great!" Bai Chuanmu was looking forward to it. She was glad that she didn't have acrophobia. "It must be very comfortable to be able to fly freely, right?"
The wind on the rooftop was quite strong. The cool breeze rushed in through the open door. It felt like I was in the arms of the wind. My body and mind felt light and free.
No wonder Geto Suguru likes this place.
Both Baichuan Mu and Ieiri Shoko were satisfied with this place.
Ieiri Naoko even muttered, "No wonder people in novels like to come to the rooftop, it really feels pretty good."
Xia Youjie heard this and said, "Classmate Jia Ru, if you also want to experience the feeling of flying, my cursed spirit can also take you to play, but now it can only fly at low altitude... In the future, I must tame a large bird cursed spirit, at least the kind that can carry four or five people."
Ieiri Glass said, "Okay, thank you."
Xiayou Jie was more comfortable talking to a sorcerer of the same age, and thought of Gojo Satoru: "But I don't think that guy Satoru would want to fly on my cursed spirit."
That guy would only sit on his cursed spirit when he was tired of using unlimited techniques.
Ieiri Naoko asked curiously, "Is he afraid of heights?"
"Fear of heights...hahaha," Xia Youjie laughed, "Because he can fly."
"Oh..." Ieiri Shoko nodded thoughtfully, and her imagination of Gojo Satoru turned into a cow cat riding a broom.
"Do you know about Wu?" Xia Youjie asked, looking at Baichuanmu expectantly, "Has Wu come to Tokyo?"
"No~" Baichuanmu spread his hands, "I just told Glass a little bit about Wu."
Xia Yujie couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry.
They found a place to sit down near the edge, leaning against the two-meter-high iron net. Bai Chuanmu also checked the iron net and found it was quite sturdy.
Baichuanmu bought quite a lot of food. Except for the sandwiches, all of them were for Geto Xiayou. And Geto Xiayou's lunch box was enough to fill him up.
"It seems like we can feed some to the cursed spirit." Xia Youjie watched Baichuanmu take out food one by one from his bag.
"Do cursed spirits need to eat?" Ieiri Naoko asked, "Is it okay to eat human food?"
Xia Yujie said faintly: "They eat everything."
Ieiri Naoko narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that there was something else behind what Geto Suguru said.
Baichuanmu added: "Humans are also on their menu."
Ieiri Naoko widened her eyes.
Xia Youjie continued: "It should be said that cursed spirits are generally only 'interested' in humans."
Ieiri Naoko looked at the mother and son who were smiling with the same narrowed eyes, and the expression on her face gradually changed from shock to helplessness. She said, "Sister Mumu, Xia Yu-san, the two of you should stop teasing me."
"It's true," Baichuanmu regained his normal expression, looked at Jialiu Nishiko seriously and said, "Wild cursed spirits do take humans as prey. They have a natural malice towards humans. I have told Nishiko about this, right?"
Ieiri Naoko nodded and smiled: "That's what I remember. That's why I think Sister Mumu is so amazing."
Baichuanmu: Hmm?
Before Baichuanmu could express his confusion, Xiayou Jie hurriedly boasted: "Yes, of course my mother is amazing."
Baichuanmu said weakly: "Jie... do you still remember that subduing cursed spirits is your ability? I am just an ordinary person."
"I remember!" Xia Youjie's eyes sparkled, "But without mom, there would be no me today."
Baichuan Muxin thought, that’s true, but she always felt that what Xia Youjie said was not what she understood.
Xia Yujie excitedly said to Jiali Nishiko: "My mother takes me to look for cursed spirits every weekend. When I am subduing the cursed spirits, she gives me a lot of support and strength!"
Ieiri Naoko understood that Baichuan Mu was very powerful, so she helped him capture and subdue the cursed spirit. Although the two were not on the same line, their brain waves were miraculously connected: "Sister Mumu is really unfathomable - I feel like Sister Mumu seems to have planned everything..."
"Shh, don't tell anyone," Xia Youjie made a shushing gesture, "It's enough for us to just know it in our hearts."
Naoko Ieiri nodded, she didn't want to ruin her sister Mumu's plan.
Baichuanmu: =. =
What are you talking about?
Never mind, she's used to it.
