Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

The big man's body turned completely towards me.

"... oh, my God, you're not from End of Life - and you're going to defy this me who was in the Sixth House?

"End-of-life home? Sixth house? I don't know, that's not true."

"Ho, right. I'll admit it. But what do we do? There's no way you're gonna stand by me right now, is there? There's no way he likes to hang out with people in the Sixth House!

... That's why I don't know, because it's called the Sixth House.

What? I'm sorry.

Is it a well-known school or something with a lot of defects?

"You must know that too!? If I sneak up on the guards, I don't know what's gonna happen later!?

Everyone leans on the big man's threatening words with a dark look.

and so,

"Oh, you know, customers..."

A weak voice has broken in.

"Ah?"

When I saw it, it was the store owner who pinched the terrible mouth on this situation.

"Well, you know, it's hard to say, but the rubbing..."

"Ah!?

"Hih! Yes, no, can't you forgive me for rubbing in the store...? If the store breaks down, the..."

"Oh, you know what?"

The look on the face of an uncomfortable man turns into something pleasant.

"Damn, I don't have a choice. I'm gonna teach this kid reality outside the store. But..."

A big man stares at the owner.

"When you're done 'educating' the kid, you ask for all the payments you make after that, huh? Of course, indefinitely."

"Eh."

"What? Are you complaining?

"Yes, no! There is no annihilation! It's so tight and cool!

"Ha ha ha! I'm glad you're a generous shopkeeper! Then - let's move the place outside, you fucking kid.

Big guy showing outside with his thumb.

"You're the one who sold the fight, right? What a pity to apologize now, huh?

"... I know"

I gave Mia my hand.

It seemed like she was still limping in fear.

I'll take Mia's hand.

Cold.

"Mr. Mia."

I whispered to Mia.

Mr. Mia tries to spin something, fails.

Whatever. I kept going.

"Let's run and get out of here a little bit before we leave the store."

Mr. Mia looks me in the eye.

And I nodded small.

If you don't have to use the curse, I've never crossed it.

In the first place, we don't even know what the power of a surgical ceremony is like in this world.

Is that technique something you can use without darkness all over the city?

…………

Before that, though somehow, I also feel that the power of my "curse ban" and the "surgical ceremony" that Mr. Makina tried to use is something fundamentally different.

I dropped my gaze on my hand.

... a curse, huh?

When the curse was first activated, it reminds me of the reactions of those who were there.

Or... or somewhere, if Mia sees herself using the curse - and she finds out that I used it, she'll be creepy about herself... maybe she's worried about that.

Maybe she'll be scared of me.

To the point that it makes me so afraid, that curse is disastrous and has something heterogeneous.

…………

But - use.

At last, I will use the curse without hesitation.

I don't care about myself anymore.

Mr. Mia's safe return is paramount.

I can't believe how creepy she is. It's just self-preservation.

As long as she's helpful here, that's fine.

"Aniki, don't you have to deal with one of these things? Over time, guards may come... no matter how effective the name of the Sixth House is, when the noise gets too loud..."

"Let it go, then, until I get away with grabbing a woman. You're the guard there, I'm not scared."

The big man overtook his men's fears.

"Besides, I love it when I bump those misguided bastards and make them beg for their lives like no other. You know that, don't you? If that good man wasn't in danger, the subracial females would be submissive."

"Oh, that's Aniki! You're thinking that far!

"Well."

I can hear you.

…………

Didn't I?

Are you deliberately telling me to sound like it?

...... ma, run away though.

Okay, well...

I took Mia's hand and ran out all at once.

We were way ahead of each other, so the big boys wouldn't hold us back in position.

Jump out of the store.

It was completely dark outside.

Keep going. I'm trying to turn left.

"Huh? Wow!

Hit something, fall.

"Geez."

From behind, Mr. Mia fell in, trying to cover him.

Itata......

What the fuck?

I looked up.

A shadow that looks down on us.

Eye gazing.

Is this... one of the big guy's men?

Turn around.

There is also a shadow on the other side of the road.

... Shit.

The number of employees is three.

Were you two out of the store at some point?

Damn, why didn't you notice...!

"Sorry to hear that, kid."

A man who put his foot on me says it with a face he made a fool of himself.

"So, are you okay, Mr. Krohiko?!?

I wake up, Mia, and she puts her hands on my body.

"It's okay...... just -"

I turned around.

He pulls his men, and the big man comes out of the store slowly.

"Pathetic...... Seriously, I pity you, you fucking kid. Ah?"

…………

Well.

I have no choice.

You want to do it?

"Mr. Mia."

I said as I got up.

"If there is a time when you are likely to escape, run to a safe place by yourself"

"Huh? Krohiko...... Dear Sir?

I'll take care of this.

"I'll do something about it, you know..."

"Forgot? I'm a super wild kid who grew up in the back of the mountain, right?

"Huh?"

"Besides, I was scouted by the Saint Tree Man to enroll in school. Does that mean? I'm so strong."

"Dear Krohiko..."

"But what's going to happen may be a little irritating. I don't know, I don't know if it's much like a girl sees, or something, so I thought..."

"Hey, I'm talking a mess, you fucking kid! Come on, now!

Blocked by a big man.

Yikes.

I was in the middle of something cool to say.

"Aniki, no! This guy says he's going to be able to beat Aniki!?

A subordinate listening to our conversation nearby raised his voice.

"Oh! That guy's got a good prestige! Fine! I'll break that confidence! Fuck off!

At that time,

It was - Mia - who ran out toward the big man.

... Huh?

"Mia......?

Why would you...

Going to the front of the big man, Mr. Mia took a dugout.

"Please - forgive me! If I were you, I would do anything! So please can't you just miss that guy!? It's this street!

"Ho?

He was a big man with a face that only seemed unexpected for a moment, but soon the expression turned to a satisfying grin, stroking his jaw warmly.

"Well, if that's what you're gonna say, I'm not gonna think about it, but hey... hey? We don't want to be violent if we can, do we? It's just that I didn't know that kid was too polite. I also thought I had to educate him as Otona."

Laughter leaks from my men that makes me stand up.

…………

My mistake.

My words just now......

I guess Mia thought I was talking about being strong.

She's sweet.

So on the contrary, he tried to save me at his own expense.

Damn.

I was lost...!

…………

But that's enough.

Whether it's a fuss or a makina, Mia creeps me out - I don't care anymore.

That's it.

No wasted foreboding or anything.

- Now it's time to do it.

Targeting the big man.

Let's go.

The curse...

"That's it."

I tried to chant the curse - it was then.

Such a ringing voice tickled in my chest shook the darkness of the night.

…………

- Not again.

Honestly, I thought so.

No, it doesn't matter who breaks in anymore.

I use a curse.

I was so determined.

But...

The moment I heard that voice - my mouth opened for a curse chant - disappeared the words I should have answered, and, as it were, stopped.

In short, I fell in love with it.

That's an unattractive tone.

enough attraction to outweigh reason.

For the first time in my life, I hear a clear voice to the extreme.

Maybe it's not just me.

The big man, his men, and the guests who watched things go from the store worryingly, were equally fascinated by the cool voice like the sound of that wind chime… and for a moment, the hour was stopped.

Mia, who is awake in her upper body, also turns her face toward those who speak without saying a word.

When I saw it, there was a carriage behind the big man.

Kotsumi - and the shoes that came down to the ground made a creepy noise.

And through the open carriage door, a skinny figure appears.

At that time - the light of the moon lit up the shadow that had descended from the carriage, as if it were pouring down only for the person.

――――

Everyone on the spot found it breathtaking.

- Beautiful.

Perhaps everyone saw the girl illuminated by the moonlight and thought so.

Just a word.

That's it, enough.

Everyone had forgotten the situation and for a while had been completely blinded and distracted by that beautiful girl, who suddenly appeared to the stage where the moonlight illuminated.
