Chapter 135: "Prodigy"
When he returned to the hall on a summer night, he saw Harusa drinking tea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did you ask that, the guy's name and identity?"
The boy's expression was calm, but there seemed to be something brewing underneath the calm.
"That's the question...... It didn't surprise me. "Summer night sit on a chair.
"Unexpected?" Harumi raised an eyebrow.
"The soul spell that struck you last...... After recognizing what it was, I thought of a person. Xia Ye said while carrying a pot to pour himself tea.
"The only person who has crossed paths with me who can perform that spell is him-Shiki Taikubo. ”
She poured her tea, picked it up, and took a sip.
"He is the Onmyoji of the same generation as me in the Taikubo family, and he is a year older than me. ”
"When I was a child, I was very well evaluated within his family and had the reputation of being a 'prodigy', but as I grew older, 'prodigy' did not become a 'genius' as expected, but gradually became mediocre. ”
"I've only met him three times in person. ”
"The first time was when he was a child, when he was named a 'child prodigy', favored in the family, quite proud and proud, and now looking back, he was completely a spoiled, arrogant child. ”
"The second time was in ...... When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, his aura as a 'child prodigy' began to fade, and although he was still better than his peers, he already felt a little mediocre...... The gloomy expression on his face at that time made me remember. ”
"The third time was when I was in my second year of junior high school, which was ...... two years ago."
Summer Night took another sip of tea, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she was considering how to explain it.
"At that time, I had some arguments with him...... That is, quarrel, very noisy. ”
"In a fit of rage, we asked our elders to witness on the spot and had a duel. ”
"As a result, I won. ”
"Because before the duel, he was extremely sure that it would be him who won, so he ...... Quite a blow was suffered. ”
"The look on his face at that time was so impressive to me that I can recall it vividly now. ”
"That's ...... Unable to accept reality, extremely angry, unwilling, and...... An expression of hatred. ”
There was a moment of silence.
"This fortuitous duel was later spread and became the decisive proof that the 'prodigy' had finally degenerated into mediocrity. The eldest lady said calmly.
In other words, it was I who gave him the final blow – the blow that made him lose his old pride completely. ”
"He hates me...... And rightfully so. ”
"I had him in the list that I had before, probably my opponents. ”
Now, it's confirmed. ”
The hall fell silent again.
Qingji, who listened quietly, raised his glass and took another sip of tea.
"The fallen 'prodigy' fights against the enemy for revenge, or to prove himself...... What a vulgar story. ”
"Yes, but the so-called reality is often made up of vulgar things. ”
"I finally know who the opponent is...... What about the others? For example, why did this guy dare to treat Kagura like that?"
This is the biggest doubt in Harusa's heart.
Recruit the "Vortex of Calamity" as the god of Shiki, let her be a shield at a critical moment, and put a curse on her, and do these things, aren't you afraid that you will suffer a major disaster because of this?
Summer Night was silent for a moment.
"Perhaps Taikubo thinks that he is strong and confident that he can resist the misfortunes that may befall him, or perhaps he is determined to break my consciousness even if disaster strikes...... In addition, there is a misfortune that can be brought about by the 'Vortex of Calamity' under control...... Or rather, the way to digest it in advance. ”
"What way?" Haruji faintly thought of something.
"That is, to suffer the hurt before misfortune happens to you...... Hurt yourself, or let others hurt yourself. Summer Night sighed.
Harm...... A flash of inspiration flashed through Harusa's mind.
He had asked Chiaki before if anything unfortunate had happened in the drama department, and the answer he got was-
"The deputy minister of the 'ghost face' because of various things such as the approaching school festival,The pressure has risen,The skills of complaining and fanning the book have been greatly enhanced,All members of the community, especially the minister, have suffered greatly!"
It turns out that it's really because of that...... Because of the relationship between the deputy minister who was injured (taught) and harmed (trained) all day long, the weird minister who "captured" Kagura's poem, Saionji Anya, did not suffer misfortune!?
Is this TM okay!?
What the hell is "cause and effect"?
In this way, the "disaster" can be eliminated, and it feels like the "curse" is suddenly a little kind.
Harusa complained in his heart.
Looking at his expression, Xia Ye knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile slightly wryly.
And no wonder, because she also found it hard to believe.
The misfortune brought about by the "Vortex of Calamity" can be offset in this way...... It's not completely offset, but it still feels a little ridiculous!
Shouldn't this be something more subtle!?
When she heard Kagura say this method, she was also complaining in her heart.
The so-called misfortune, the inevitable calamity, can be repaid like a credit card debt...... it!!
This gap is like the god in the sky is actually the teller of the bank diagonally opposite the door, it's outrageous!!
Ahem, calm down.
"I hear this method...... When she heard this method from Kagura's mouth, she felt incredible, but according to her, many of her contract owners used this method to avoid too serious disasters. ”
"How many contract masters?" Haruji returned to his senses.
"Yes, she lives as a hired god. Summer Night said.
She used to live in an orphanage, and then an onmyoji adopted her. ”
"This onmyoji found out that she was the 'Vortex of Calamity' and thought she was useful, so he took her away, and then trained her to become a Shikigami. ”
After that, the onmyoji fell seriously ill and thought that she had brought the calamity, so he threw her out. ”
"The other onmyoji, who knew her physique, took the initiative to find her, signed a temporary contract with her, and used her power...... After the work is done and the remuneration is paid, the contract is terminated. ”
"Something like this happens one after another...... Before she knew it, she had become a hired god. ”
"A formal mercenary god, either registered with a guild or a professional agent, but she doesn't know any of this...... Even if she figured it out, she would probably not succeed in applying for registration or finding a broker. ”
Because she is the "Vortex of Calamity".
People want to take advantage of her, but they get sick of her.
Kagura poems are like this, living alone and quietly.
Harusa was silent.
"Take the damage first...... This method is not absolute, but it is effective to a certain extent, and the risk of using the 'Vortex of Calamity' can be controlled within an acceptable range. ”
"If the special power of the 'Vortex of Calamity' is used properly, it can have miraculous effects, and under the premise of controllable risks, it is rare and valuable, so there are constantly onmyoji hiring her. Summer Night concluded.
With employment and remuneration, Kagura poetry has been able to survive until now.
The "Vortex of Calamity" made her lonely, but it also continued her life in this form.
