Chapter 58
Fortunately, Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri did not continue to be confused. After the riddler said a few confusing words, the two of them exchanged glances and tacitly changed the subject.
"This chestnut cake tastes very good, with a strong chestnut aroma. My mother has bought it several times." Xia Yujie cut the chestnut cake into three parts, handed the one with the best decoration to Baichuanmu, and gave the better-looking one of the remaining two to Jiaru Nozomi.
After thanking her, Ieiri Naoko took the chestnut cake and said, "It looks good."
Bai Chuanmu breathed a sigh of relief. The topic was finally normal. Although she had decided to give up, she was afraid that she would have to keep squinting her eyes and not get a word in during the whole process as she listened to their wild speculations.
She has experience in this. Every time Baichuanmu tried to stop the transformation, the transformation of Geto Xiayou and Gojo Satoru became more and more serious.
The chestnut cake is not big to begin with, and when divided into three portions it is just the size of a few bites. It is not too sweet, and the cream is very dense, and you can smell the mellow chestnut aroma in every bite.
It seemed that Ieiri Nozomi liked this kind of cake more. She finished it in three bites and licked her lips with satisfaction. But she might be a little hungry. She had been suffering from insomnia recently and her appetite had been affected. Now that her worries had been resolved, her appetite had become better.
The weather is a little cold now. When I first came to the rooftop, I felt very cool and had a sense of freedom. But now I feel that the wind on the rooftop is a little cold. However, Geto Suguru summoned out a fire-type curse spirit in time. It was not the previous fire dragon curse spirit, but a new one, but the name is still the same.
"Its name is Charmander." Xia Yujie introduced.
After a moment of silence, Ieiri Naoko spoke her mind frankly: "Are you sure this name is suitable for it?"
This little fire dragon curse spirit looks like a human skull, but it is three or four times larger than an adult's skull, with more prominent and sharp teeth, and three eye sockets with a dark red eyeball moving around in them. It is black in color, wrapped in orange-red flames, with tiny sparks bursting out from time to time.
When it was just summoned, the little fire dragon curse spirit made a crackling sound, and its mouth opened and closed, as if it was grinding its teeth, or laughing. It was only after being hit on the forehead by Geto Suguru that it quietly became a "stove".
Xia Youjie explained: "I want to cultivate a cursed spirit like I cultivated Pokémon, but I didn't find a particularly suitable one. It's almost... with similar attributes, so I made do with it. At least its flame color is quite similar."
"It's much warmer~" Although Baichuanmu couldn't see the little fire dragon curse spirit, she moved closer to it based on the changes in temperature. She also wanted to heat up the cold skewers, mainly for fun to roast. She also sighed, "I should buy some marshmallows, it must be fun to roast them."
Xia Youjie carefully controlled the little fire dragon curse spirit to heat up the cold skewers in Baichuanmu's hand. This curse spirit of his had no strange smell, and he often used it to heat up lunch boxes.
"Why not change the name to microwave oven... or stove would be more appropriate." Jialiu Naoko ate the cold skewers silently and thought, aren't cold skewers meant to be eaten cold?
However, seeing that Xia Youjie and Baichuan Mu were having a lot of fun, she also took a skewer and tried to roast it.
Xia Yujie thought about it and nodded, "Then let's change the name to Stove. It also serves as a fireplace in our house... When I find a cursed spirit that looks more like Charmander, I'll name it Charmander."
While turning the cold skewers... or grilled skewers in her hand, Ieiri Naoko said to herself, "Come to think of it, I have a skull at home too..."
Xia Youjie's eyes lit up: "Cursed spirit?"
"No, it's a human skull..." Ieiri Naoko said calmly. When she saw that the expression on Geto's face changed from surprise to confusion and fear, she said the second half of the sentence, "A model of a human skull. You treat a cursed spirit as a pet, but you are afraid of a human skull."
Xia Youjie's mouth twitched: "I'm not afraid...it's just..."
Ieiri Naoko continued, "There is also a 1:1 human skeleton model... Don't worry, it's just a model."
Xia Youjie showed an indescribable expression, he opened his mouth wide, very surprised: "Ah...?"
Baichuanmu rarely saw Xia Youjie with such an expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha..."
Ieiri Nozomi smiled faintly and turned her skewers leisurely. It was quite fun. Then, for some reason, the flames of the stove curse suddenly jumped up and roasted her skewers into a pitch-black color, just like the pitch-black skull. The ends of the skewers were even burned and bent.
Ieiri Glass:?
Ieiri Naoko looked at Geto Suguru and found that the surprised expression on this guy's face had disappeared, and was replaced by a squinting smile.
The corners of Jiarui Xiaozi's mouth twitched, and she muttered in her heart, is it necessary to hold a grudge like this? This black-bellied fox.
"Mom..." Xia Yujie adjusted his expression and looked at Baichuanmu helplessly.
Sensing Xia Youjie's "complaining" expression, Baichuan Mu stopped laughing: "Glass's parents are doctors, and they have some normal models at home."
"I see." Xia Yujie nodded. He thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something very important. "Mr. Nitro, the reversal technique you have can be used to heal others, right? Can you teach me how to use the reversal technique?"
Geto Xiayou doesn't want to be the only one who doesn't know how to reverse the technique in the future. He knows that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and if he studies it earlier, he may be able to find a way out.
But Ieiri Naoko said she didn't really want to be the teacher. She raised her black skewers and went to ask for an explanation from Geto Suguru, saying in a rather tactful way: "Do you want to eat?"
Xia Yujie wiped his nose, knowing that he was in the wrong, and gave his share of cold skewers to Jia Ruxiaozi. He couldn't finish it anyway. As for the blackened skewers, he didn't waste them and fed them to the cursed spirit.
Ieiri Nozomi nodded in satisfaction, but she didn't know how to answer Geto Suguru's question: "How do you use the reversal technique? You will learn it naturally."
Xia Youjie listened, but still refused to give up: "Don't you have any tricks?"
This stumped Ieiri Nozomi. Although she had suddenly mastered the reversal technique when she was five or six years old, she really didn't know how to describe how to use it. It was like... like describing how to walk on two feet. How could she describe it?
Ieiri Naoko frowned and thought for a while, then shrugged helplessly: "Just... like this, like that... it works?"
After hearing this, Xia Youjie was still a little disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Chuanmu blinked his eyes, pointed his finger and waved it, shouting: "I know, first do this, then that, and finally do this, and it will be OK~"
Xia Yujie looked at Baichuanmu helplessly, but what puzzled him was that Ieiri Shoko expressed her agreement with Baichuanmu's words.
"That's right," Ieiri Naoko nodded, "It's exactly the feeling that Sister Mumu described. Sister Mumu is really amazing."
Geto Summer Oil:?
In fact, Bai Chuanmu also wanted to put a question mark, she was just teasing, how did she guess the right answer by accident? Although she still couldn't understand the answer herself.
"...I don't understand," Xia Youjie said honestly, "Can you explain it in a more understandable way? Is there any...formula or something like that?"
Bai Chuanmu waved his hands helplessly: "Where did the formula come from? This kind of thing can only be understood, not expressed in words. Jie, you... but speaking of it, it seems that there really is a formula? But the knowledge contained in it seems that you third-grade elementary school students have not learned it yet, right?"
Xia Youjie's eyes lit up, and he looked at Baichuanmu expectantly: "Really? Will I need to use the formula when I teach you the reversal technique in the future?!"
Ieiri Naoko was surprised and said, "Sister Mumu can actually teach others how to reverse magic?!"
"No," Baichuanmu said immediately, trying to stop the two cubs from changing their minds. "It has nothing to do with Wu... It's just... Actually, it's almost the same whether there is a formula or not. Curse power represents negative energy, and reversal technique represents positive energy. Two negatives equals a positive, so curse power x curse power = reversal technique... That's about it."
Xia Youjie was still confused, but he nodded: "Although I don't understand it very well now, I know why mom wants me to learn more knowledge. Only by mastering more knowledge can I better understand and use the power of magic, right!"
Bai Chuanmu was silent for a while. So...it's not wrong?
So Baichuanmu nodded: "That's right."
However, in the eyes of the two cubs, Bai Chuanmu’s brief silence was somewhat intriguing.
"It seems that I don't understand it very well yet," said Xia Youjie, "but I will try my best. As long as I understand my mother's words thoroughly, I can become the strongest, right?"
Baichuanmu:?
Is she really that powerful? And she didn't say any philosophy of life, did she? Not to mention the kind of philosophy that can make people the strongest in the world if they understand it.
Ieiri Naoko said: "Gasuru-san's goal is very ambitious... But under the guidance of Sister Mumu, I still believe you can do it."
Baichuanmu:?
So is she still the strongest trainer? Ye Mo Zheng Dao, you come and take care of it... Oh, Ye Mo Zheng Dao can't do it. His three super SSR cards were taken away. Do you still need to help clean up the "mess"?
However, the two cubs' lunch ended in a happy atmosphere. It seemed that Xia Youjie was in a good mood. Was it because Baichuan Mu came to have lunch with him, or because he had a new companion?
However, when Baichuanmu returned, he said to Xiayou Jie: "Jie, the view from the rooftop of your school is quite nice. How about I come to see you once or twice a week? But your classmates..."
Xia Youjie immediately said, "Okay! Don't worry about my classmates. In fact, I just felt that it was nice to eat with my classmates, but sometimes I also want to release cursed spirits during breaks. Although they can't see it... it's still a little troublesome."
"It's settled then~" Baichuanmu said with a smile.
Ieiri Naoko looked at the mother and son with some envy. Her parents had to stay away from home for a long time due to work, and they would probably only be able to come back during the Chinese New Year. She didn't know when they would be transferred back, but her hope was slim.
Ieiri Shoko said nothing and accepted it all silently. She has always been like this, easy-going and accepting the arrangements around her. She thinks this is not bad and rarely raises any objections, but in fact she also hopes that she can stay with her parents.
"Glass, is your grandma the only one at home?" Baichuanmu asked.
"Yeah." Ieiri Naoko nodded, "My parents won't be back until the end of the year, but I can take care of myself."
Baichuan Mu seemed to be thinking about something. No wonder Ieori Naoko said that she usually ate rice balls and sandwiches. It was probably not very convenient for her grandmother to cook every day. Maybe she still needed Ieori Naoko to take care of her.
"Glass, do you want to try Sister Mumu's cooking?" Baichuanmu winked at Jiaru Glass, "I'll make a big meal for you and your grandma tonight. I'll bring Jie over to eat with us."
Ieiri Naoko was stunned, then looked up and asked in surprise, "Is it possible?"
"Of course you can. I've been wanting to show off my skills for a long time." Bai Chuanmu rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly.
"Yes!" Ieiri Naoko nodded vigorously, "I will look forward to it."
Ieiri Naoko's hair had turned gray, and she looked very kind and easy-going. She seemed to have treated Baichuan Mu as her school teacher, and she talked to Baichuan Mu for a long time. Ieiri Naoko took this opportunity to catch up on her sleep, and the cursed spirit in her home was exorcised by Baichuan Mu.
Baichuan Mu chatted with Jiaru Xiaozi's grandmother for a long time. The old woman might be a little confused. She just thought Baichuan Mu was a teacher who came for a home visit, and now she thought she was Jiaru Xiaozi's mother. She kept calling her "Lingzi" or "Ningzi". The old woman had a heavy accent and she couldn't hear clearly, but she was able to cook a big meal for them smoothly.
While Baichuanmu went out to buy groceries, he picked up Xiayoujie who had just finished school. He worked in the kitchen for a long time and finally prepared a table of dishes at almost seven o'clock.
In the middle of cooking, she received a call from Ieiri Shoko's teacher, who was concerned about Ieiri Shoko's health and psychological problems. Baichuan Mu was once again mistaken for Ieiri Shoko's mother. After listening to the teacher's instructions, she was unable to get a word in for a long time. Although there was a small misunderstanding, Baichuan Mu finally thanked the teacher sincerely and promised to pay more attention to the child.
Baichuanmu invited everyone to eat: "Sorry for the long wait, it seems a bit long?"
Xia Youjie said quietly: "It's okay, there is a curse spirit~"
Jialiu Nishiko said helplessly: "Don't always think about feeding the cursed spirits, you can eat them next time."
Ieiri Naoko's grandmother was smiling from ear to ear. She held Baichuan Mu's hand and kept telling her about Ieiri Naoko's interesting childhood stories.
At this moment, "Knock knock——" there was a knock on the window.
When Naoko Ieiri turned her head, she saw a white-haired boy hanging upside down outside her window.
Ieiri Naoko widened her eyes and almost shouted "There's a ghost——", after all, her house was on the seventh floor!
Baichuanmu was talking to her grandmother, Xiayoujie was picking up food for Baichuanmu, and she was the only one who noticed the "ghost" outside the window.
Ieiri Nishiko glanced at her grandmother, took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Her grandmother was old and could not stand being frightened.
For the sake of the old man's heart, Ieiri Nishiko calmly closed the curtains, pretended nothing had happened, and continued to eat.
Gojo Satoru outside the window:?
