"Hot cocoa, do you want to drink it?"

In the cold mountain wind, Lingguan revealed the drink he had just bought in his hand and looked at Youzhu with a smile.

“……”

Looking at the movements of Zero, the girl's mood fluctuated.

The conversation with the old magician just now, and now the thoughtful behavior of the zero view, made her heart, which could not be calmed down because of her thoughts, rise and fall again.

Vaguely, the girl suddenly thought of a lot of questions that she had not thought about before, or had thought about before, but had never carefully explored--what kind of mood did Dad have to accept her mother's identity as a "witch"? How do you feel about me who "took away" my mother's life? In what mood did you leave?

Youzhu knows that her father loves her mother deeply, but doesn't he have a trace of complaint in his heart?

If it weren't for his own birth, if it wasn't for the identity of the "witch", if it wasn't for the ...... A normal person with a resentment like this, even a father should have had, right?

So—

Is the father's meticulous care and deep love for himself after the death of his mother in the responsibility of the oath he made to his mother, or is it really in the love for his daughter?

……

At this moment, the mood of this "witch" was disturbed by a chaotic mind.

The chaotic thoughts made Youzhu, a girl who is not good at dealing with things other than magic, at a loss for a while, and when her thoughts flew farther and farther, a warm feeling suddenly came from her face.

"Yikes!"

The startled Youzhu let out a cute cry and took a few steps back. After settling down, she immediately turned red, and glared angrily at Zero Guan, who put hot cocoa on her face, startling herself.

The prank was successful, and it also made Youzhu, who has always been expressionless, show this gaffe expression. Zero Guan couldn't help but feel proud. At the same time, it is also slightly dazzling for the cuteness that Youzhu unintentionally revealed.

"What do you think? Actually showing such a troubled look, say it and listen to it, so that I can be happy. ”

"Disgusting bad taste!"

"Hehe!!"

Zero Guan smiled lightly and handed over the canned hot cocoa in his hand, "Drink a little." Although it is not as good as your favorite black tea. But it's enough to keep you warm. ”

The girl's eyes wandered on Zero's face, and her anger gradually subsided, and she reached out to take it.

"Originally, I also wanted to get your favorite black tea, but I really couldn't find one that I could take with me, so I changed this ......"

Zero's explanation seemed to be a lot of this move, but Youzhu didn't show displeasure, as if agreeing, she nodded lightly and opened the jar of hot cocoa aluminum.

Morsel.

Another bite.

The girl's movements are very elegant, and the eating appearance of Qingzi that Zero Guan has just seen are simply two extremes.

"It would be nice if Aoko's eating could be as elegant as you."

“…… Are you disgusted with Aoko? ”

Youzhu slowly drank the hot cocoa. asked casually.

Zero Guan stood side by side with her, didn't look at her expression, and hurriedly smiled when he heard the words: "I don't mean that, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Oh, is that so?!"

In a slightly joking tone, Youzhu raised his head and looked at the distant starry sky, with a confused expression on his face.

The night sky in the countryside is much brighter than in the city, and the distance between the stars does not shorten, though. But it feels indescribably close, far more gratifying than having nothing.

"You seem to be upset. Can you tell me about it? ”

“…… It's useless to talk to you, it's just one more annoying person in vain. Well, because I'm not a Aoko, maybe you won't even bother me. ”

Youzhu rarely teased the next zero view.

This kind of Cheng Dù's joke was something Youzhu would never have made in the past, but tonight, she abandoned her previous indifferent personality. It was as if she had become a different person—a normal girl next door.

Feeling the change of Youzhu, Zeroview is a little incomprehensible. However, he didn't think it was bad for Youzhu to change this way, and it would be better if he could put aside his identity as a magician. Obviously, though, that's not possible. So, he followed the topic of Youzhu and said, "Don't say that. I'm a magician, too! And we're friends anyway, and if I can help you, I'm going to say it. ”

Youzhu was slightly moved, and the gloom in her expression suddenly dissipated a lot, and she nodded lightly: "I wrote down this sentence." If I need help in the future, I will definitely go to you. ”

"That's it, if you're in trouble, just come to me. Even if I am the enemy of the world, I will not hesitate to stand by your side. ”

"Yes......"

The girl spoke softly, and her voice was so good that she could barely hear it even with her ears.

"So you're talking to Youzhu here, I said why didn't you come in for a long time." When the scene fell silent, Aoko's head poked out from behind the door, and after seeing Zero Guan and Youzhu under the light, she walked out.

Orange's figure followed behind her.

"Why did you guys get out? Don't you spend more time with your parents? Zero Guan said strangely.

"Zero, you are really a rookie who is more unsuitable for the status of a magician than me!"

"Hey, I don't think I deserve your despise!"

"Aoko is right, you are indeed inferior to her in basic common sense." Orange picks up the topic, "Unnecessary feelings can affect the magician's exploration of the roots, you should keep this in mind!" ”

"In other words, your relationship with your parents has become estranged, and you can't go back to the beginning?"

“…… Not!! ”

The two sisters nodded with a dull expression, not knowing if they were unwilling to be broken by the Zero Meditation Dao.

"That's right!"

Zero Guan was speechless.

Normal people and magicians are in two worlds, and it is impossible to say that there is no barrier. Just like a daily conversation, the topic of a magician is his own research and results, while a normal person is a short parent, and the standard bull's head is not the horse's mouth. Even if you claim to have a zero view that is different from the three views of magicians, you can spend time with your family because of the pursuit of power.

All in all, he understands the feelings of Aoko and Orange.

Zero Vision's original background was an exorcist, and unlike the magician with abnormal three views, even if he knew the identity of Zero Vision, his normal mother and younger brother would not have obvious estrangement. But Qingzi and oranges are different. Their parents are people who know about the magician, and even if they want to express their feelings for their daughter, they will be hindered by their status as magicians. The alienation and vigilance inadvertently revealed in their eyes and behaviors will make them more and more alienated from their parents' feelings.

And this is one of the problems that power cannot solve.

"Normal people can't adapt to magicians, and conversely, people who adapt to magicians aren't normal people." Zero View couldn't help but think of Aoi Tosaka and Claudia, who were the daughters of the "pit". Altesia. They are all women who struggle to adapt to being magicians (anomalies), and the result of adaptation is that their lives and the happiness of their daughters are buried.

What a sad story! (To be continued......)
