Chapter 24: Magic
"Really? Is the roof eight stories high? If you're not careful, you'll have to be ready to be reincarnated! ”
"Well, people who commit suicide can't even have graves." Intix gave an inexplicable reply, and then added, "But there was no way, and I had to do it when I wanted to run for my life." ”
Kamijo frowned when he heard the dangerous word "escape", but Intix hummed like a child and continued, "Someone is chasing me. ”
The hand shaking the pan involuntarily stopped.
"Actually, I could have jumped over, but halfway through the jump, I was hit in the back." The girl, who called herself Intix, seemed to laugh a little, "I'm sorry that it fell down and hung on the railing of your house." ”
Neither self-deprecating nor sarcastic, she just smiled at Matang Kamijo.
"Hit?"
"Huh? Ah, don't worry about my injuries, this dress has the effect of defending against enchantments. ”
"What is a defensive barrier? Is it a bulletproof vest? ”
The girl spun around, as if she was showing off the clothes she had bought with her heart, but she didn't look like she was hurt.
However, the boy in Kamijo, who exudes the aura of a good person, has fallen into a cranky situation.
"Rice!" Intix's face leaned out from behind Jojo, her hand clenching her chopsticks in a fist, and it seemed that although she spoke Japanese fluently, she didn't know how to use them.
She looked at the pan excitedly, the look of a kitten that came out of a wet corrugated box on a rainy day
"Ahh
In the pan, stir-fried vegetables (poisonous) are made with ingredients that are no different from garbage.
Looking at this hungry girl, Kamijo could feel that inside his body, the angel Kamijo (who usually appears with the demon Kamijo) was struggling in pain.
"Ahh Or order delivery! ”
"People can't wait!"
Ahh
"And it doesn't look unpleasant, it's a dish you made for me without asking for anything in return, it must be delicious."
At this time, Intex really looked like a nun, smiling brightly.
Ignoring the tumbling upper strip of the entire stomach pouch, Intex clenched her fists and scooped up the contents of the pan with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Chew and chew.
"Look, it's not unpleasant."
"Really, really?"
Chew and chew.
"You're so considerate, in order to help me get rid of my fatigue, you deliberately made it sour, right?"
"Huh? Is it uh sour? ”
Chew and chew.
"Don't worry, I dare to eat sour, thank you, you look like my brother."
With a big smile, Intex ate intently, with bean sprouts on her cheeks.
"Woo woo oh
Kamijo hurriedly raised the pan high at the speed of sound, he looked at Intix with a dissatisfied expression, and thought to himself: I'll just go to hell alone.
"Are you hungry too?"
"Huh?"
"If you're not hungry, can you give me all these dishes?" I can't wait. ”
Intix's eyes looked at Intix from the bottom up, biting the tip of the chopsticks in her mouth, looking at Intix with this expression, Intix made up her mind.
This is God's will, and you have to eat what you make yourself.
This time it has nothing to do with whether it is unfortunate or not, it is purely self-inflicted.
Shangjo Dangma stuffed all the hot garbage into his mouth and smiled.
The girl, who called herself Intix, had a disgruntled expression and nibbled on a biscuit, which she looked like a squirrel because she was holding it in both hands.
"By the way, you said that someone is chasing you, who is the person who is chasing you?"
Uejo, who finally came back from hell, opened his mouth and asked one of the most important key questions.
Of course, Shangjo didn't plan to make this troubled water for a girl who had only known her for thirty minutes, but now, it seems that it is impossible to completely pretend to be an outsider.
Anyway, let's fake it, Kamijo thought. I couldn't help her solve any problems, but at least I could convince myself that I did my best.
"Hmm." "I don't know, maybe it's the Rose Cross or the Golden Dawn, I can guess the Organizations, but I don't know the names of those people and they don't mean anything to them. ”
"Them?"
Kamijo repeated in confusion.
[Is the opponent a group, is it an organization? 】
But Intix, who was being chased, was very calm, and after a hum, he said, "They are a magical society. ”
"What? Magic? Uh, what's that? Did I hear it wrong? ”
"Huh? Uh, is the Japanese I speak weird? I mean MAGIC! MAGICCABAL! ”
As soon as she explained in English, Shangjo was even more confused: "What the hell is that?" Are you talking about the mysterious new religion, the organization that makes people take strange drugs and then brainwashes them under the pretext that those who don't believe in their ancestors will be punished by heaven? That sounds dangerous. ”
"You're kind of a joke, aren't you?"
"Ugh!"
"You're kind of a joke, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do it, I really can't believe in the existence of magic, although I'm familiar with the power of powers such as the ability to ignite fire and the ability to see, but when it comes to magic, I really can't believe it?"
Intex tilted her head in thought.
If you are an ordinary person who embraces scientific omnipotence, you will definitely shout at this time: there is nothing in the world that science cannot prove!
However, there really is some kind of supernatural power in Uejo's right hand.
As long as you have the power of this supernatural ability called the Fantasy Slayer, even miracles that only appear in mythology will be completely invisible.
In this school city,Superpowers are not unusual.,As long as the medicine is injected into a vein.,An electric current is passed through the neck.,Ears listen to the special rhythm of headphones.,Anyone's head can be developed.,Everything can be explained by science.,Who can not admit its existence?
"I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"I don't understand! All in all, superpowers are a real thing! ”
"Then why can't magic? Magic is also a matter of course! ”
Intix had a disgruntled look on her face, and it felt like someone was criticizing your pet for being just a mongrel cat.
"Uh, I'll say so, do you know how to guess the boxing? Hey, wait, is guessing boxing a common culture in the world? ”
"I guess it's Japanese culture, but I know it."
"Suppose you lose ten times in a row ten times in a row, do you think there will be a reason for that?"
"Hmm~~!"
"Of course there's no reason, right? But humans will think that there is a force manipulating! Kamijo said in a boring tone, "Ordinary people will think that how can they be so upside down, there must be an invisible law in this." And when one thinks like this, what happens if the elements of astrology are mixed in? ”
"For example, if you're a Cancer and your luck is bad right now, don't gamble! Something like that, right? ”
"This is how the magic, mysterious powers, and the like that surround us in our lives are actually generated, and people imagine that there is an invisible law of their fortunes, and they regard some trivial things that happen by chance as fate, which is magic." Intix pouted like an unhappy cat for a while before she said, "It seems that you are not unconvinced. ”
"Yes. However, it is because I have thought about it seriously that I can't believe those ridiculous statements, who can believe that the magicians in the fairy tale books really exist? If you can resurrect the dead by spending MP, who still plays superpower development? How can I believe magic that has no scientific basis at all? ”
"As for those who don't believe in superpowers, they're just a bunch of fools."
"In this school city,Superpowers are already a kind of common sense.,It can be reasonably explained by science.。
"But, there's magic!"
Intex pouted, perhaps, magic was already like a pillar of her soul to her, just like the fantasy killer meant to Jojo.
"Alright, whatever. Then why are they chasing you—"
"It's really magical!"
"There's really magic!"
Looks like she's going to admit it anyway.
"Well, tell me, what exactly is magic? Can you release a fireball from your hand? Even if you don't have our superpower course, can you release fireballs? If you put on a show and let me see it, then I might believe it. ”
"I don't have magic, so I can't use it."
"What's the difference between this and those imposters who say that the camera is distracting me and I can't bend the spoon?"
Having said that, in fact, Kamijo's heart is also very complicated.
Although it is said that there can be no such thing as magic, in fact, Kamijo is completely ignorant of the ins and outs of his right hand's ability fantasy killer.
How, exactly? What power is there in that invisible air? Even the student city, which is at the peak of the world's superpower development, can't find out this ability of Shangjo through a physical examination, so he is labeled as a level zero powerless person.
And it is not acquired after receiving a course of development that conforms to scientific principles, but is an innate ability of the right hand.
Although he always said that there could be no magic in this world, he did have unrealistic powers that surpassed common sense
But this should not lead to the unfounded conclusion that if there is an incredible power in the world, magic may really exist.
"There's really magic!"
Kamijo sighed and sighed: "Okay, let's say there's magic." ”
"Hypothetical?"
"Let's say there's magic...... Uejo continued ignoring her interjection, "and why are you being chased by those people?" Does it have anything to do with your outfits? ”
The above article refers to the pure white silk gold thread embroidered ultra-luxurious monastic dress worn by Intix. In other words, it is actually asking whether religious beliefs are involved.
"Because I'm a banned book catalog."
"Huh?"
"I think what they want must be the 103,000 magic books I have."
"Why am I getting more confused the more I listen?"
"Why do you look like you don't want to pay attention to me the more I explain it? You're an impatient person, huh? ”
"Okay, I'll summarize it, I don't know what that magic book is, but it's a book, right? Something like a Chinese dictionary? ”
"Well, the Book of Lamentation, the Book of Solomon's Little Key, the Book of the Nameless, the Book of Cannibal Sacrifices, and the Book of the Dead are probably the only ones that are representative, because the Book of Necromancy is too famous, and there are a lot of Yaliu and forgeries, maybe the credibility is not high."
"Well, I don't care what the book is."
Shangjo swallowed back what he was going to say later, not to write some nonsense anyway.
"You said there were 100,000 copies - where? Meaning, do you have the key to a warehouse with you? ”
"It's not." Intex shook her head and said, "One hundred and three thousand books, I have them with me now." ”
"What?" Kamijo frowned
"Could it be that you're going to say next that only idiots can't see those books?"
"I can't see it even if it's not a benzene egg! It doesn't make sense if everyone sees it. ”
"Alas!"
I've been patient.,Now I finally can't bear it anymore.。
"Isn't it strange to believe in superpowers, but not magic?" Intix, pouting dissatisfied, said, "And are superpowers that amazing?" Even if you have a little special ability, you can't look down on people because of it! ”
"Well, you're right!" Kamijo sighed softly, "That's right, you're right, it's just some little tricks, but it's used to classify people, this idea is really bad!" ”
Kamijo looked down at his right hand.
The right hand does not emit flames or lightning, does not emit light or sound, and certainly does not have strange lines on the wrist.
However, Uejo's right hand can wipe out any magical power, good or bad, even miracle-level abilities that appear in mythology.
"However, for the people in this city, superpowers are like a kind of spiritual pillar, so don't pursue it too much. In fact, I'm part of that group. ”
"It's good to know, stupid! Hmph, why do you want to make a mess in your head, the spoon can be bent by hand. ”
"Hmph, what's so stinky about a man who has given up his natural colors and pursued acquired skin? Hum! ”
"Can I gag your talking locomotive?"
"Violence and violence can't frighten me!" Intex looked like an unhappy cat, "And you've been a superpower since you just opened and closed your mouth, what kind of superpower do you have yourself?" ”
"Well, how do you explain that?"
Kamijo was a little troubled.
I rarely have the opportunity to explain the ability of the Fantasy Killer to others, and since this ability only reacts to the power of superpowers, it would be in vain if the other party did not accept the concept of superpowers and superpowers.
