[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

In the limited fifteen years of Fushiguro Shige's life, he has never received a gift since he was diagnosed with no cursed power and unable to awaken the ritual at the age of six.

The entire Zen family left him with only endless oppression and bullying. If he had not always harbored a resentful spirit, he would have been tricked by several children of the same age into the punishment room and died from the endless gnawing of cursed spirits.

The scars on his body had almost healed long ago, but the one left at the corner of his lip reminded him all the time that Chanyuan family was not a place he could stay.

But now, a stranger appeared out of nowhere, and apart from guessing the other person's gender, he knew nothing else.

But she never asked him for anything in return, solved problems for him time and time again, took care of him, and even gave him such expensive gifts.

really-

"How... generous, young lady."

Fushiguro Shigeki carefully stroked the words on the paper, and just like last time, he carefully folded the note and put it into the wooden box.

After doing all this, he sat down beside the low table, savoring the warm porridge carefully, feeling the endless warmth flowing down his throat into his body.

[Achievement: Snail Girl, luck value reward has been issued, please check it]

Huailiang stared at the screen, confused.

"What the hell is 'Snail Girl'? Is the snail the snail she understands? But she didn't cook snails for him, why does she have such a weird title?"

Feeling a slight coolness on his wrist again, Huai Liang lowered his head and took a closer look. Through his mental sense, it seemed that the imprinted 'leaves' had turned a little green.

"Drip-drip-"

A special reminder sounded, Huai Liang immediately closed the game and clicked on the internal communication from the White Tower's 'Instruction Department'.

"To celebrate the birth of the king's third son to the queen, the Oslan Empire will celebrate the New Year for three more days starting today. Please pay attention to the time to return to the White Tower."

Huailiang browsed it three times and confirmed that he had three more days of vacation. He opened the domain network again in a daze. Sure enough, the headline was the explosive news that the queen had safely given birth to a son.

She remembered that when she was playing the game just now, she expressed her wish to extend her vacation...

Thinking of this, she looked down at the mark on her wrist with a puzzled look on her face.

Could it be that this is really the effect of luck? If this guess is true——

Then she has to put more effort into studying the background of that "game world" and strive to unlock more achievements!

At this moment, Huai Liang's mind had already been filled with the free life after leaving the White Tower. With such longing, he quickly checked all kinds of news related to the ancient Hua Kingdom on the domain network.

At the same time, she also reluctantly studied the most popular romantic TV series, movies, and other related information on the market.

Apart from the necessary sleep time, Huailiang devoted himself to interacting with Fushiguro Shigeru.

After receiving the first note that the other party had left on the coffee table, which was held down by a stone like hers, and which read "Thank you, how can I repay you", she began to deliberately get closer to the other party.

This distance is not a real distance. One of them is in the Oslan Empire, and the other is in a strange world. Not to mention the distance in space, there may be hundreds or thousands of years of time between them.

It is naturally impossible for two people who have nothing in common to meet. What she wants to do is to conquer Fushiguro Shigekiru like conquering an NPC in an otome game.

Yes, she was already certain that the so-called game was not a real game, but a world of its own.

She was cautious, and in response to Fushiguro Shige's question of "how to repay", she expressed the hope that he could buy more books, preferably those mainly related to various functions.

In order to avoid arousing the other party's suspicion, he even pointed out matters that could help him leave Chanyuan's house, but he just needed to make some preparations for making a living in advance.

Fushiguro Shigeki did as he was told, and soon the large cupboard was filled with dozens of application books of various types.

Although there are some nonsensical sample books such as "Postpartum Treatment of Sows" -

Could it be that this guy has changed his nature and is going to kill pigs instead of killing people?

However, Huailiang still keenly understood the social system and even the technological level of the other party's world from books such as "Motor Vehicle Driving" and "Network Computer Application Science".

——This is all thanks to a loophole in the game system's 'translation'.

After unlocking the "letter" function for the first time, she noticed that the game system automatically converted the common language she wrote into another strange but inexplicably understandable language.

At that time, she speculated whether this was to construct a real virtual world, so the game developers deliberately designed a set of so-called "text and language".

But the more words she left behind, and the more she heard Fushiguro Shige and other NPCs speak, the more she realized that this was a systematic written language, and it was not something that could be achieved by random compilation.

This is also the reason why, after she found out that she could use the paper and pen purchased by Fushiguro Shigeu to leave messages, she did not complain at all about the diamond unlocking fee required to enable the "letter function".

This wasn't just a simple gift of paper and pen from her gaming backpack; it was clearly unlocking a special text translator for her!

It was thanks to its auxiliary function that her guess was confirmed.

This also laid the foundation for her to make full use of the combination of rhetoric and money to win the favor of Fushiguro Shigeki and achieve "achievements".

After returning from the New Year's Eve party in the palace, she unlocked two new achievements, 'Pen Pal' and 'Listener', within six days.

Later on, she hardly tried to hide her presence. She would write on paper in front of Fushiguro Shigeki to communicate with him.

During these six days, she only slept for four hours a day, and spent the rest of the time making various efforts to capture Fushiguro Shigeki.

The time speed was 1:5. She deliberately adjusted it according to Fushiguro Shi'er's sleep schedule, trying to follow his movements as much as possible when he was awake every day.

She had already lit up all the maps of the Zenin family that he would pass by. Of course, she had not been to places like the main hall of the lord of the family because Fushiguro Shinobu would not pass by.

However, on this day, during her daily "conversation" with Fushiguro Shigeu, Huailiang heard the other party say that he liked the cursed tool she gave him very much.

During a previous patrol, he unexpectedly received an order to support the Zen temple's tent for exorcising cursed spirits.

It was with the dragon scale dagger she gave him that he killed the cursed spirit that had mutated into a first-level one and saved the lives of the two second-level sorcerers of the Zenin family.

The original transfer order was to let those members who were left behind go in.

It was just to attract the attention of the first-level curse spirit with more flesh and blood, so that the two second-level sorcerers could take the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, he was killed.

[So you said before that the deepest part of the punishment room where you were injured as a child is the secret library where the Zenin family collects various curse tools? ]

The deeper the connection he established with Fushiguro Shigeu in terms of communication, the more Huailiang could not treat him as a so-called "game NPC".

He is a living, breathing person.

She didn't know when she stopped using the term 'protagonist' to refer to Fushiguro Shijiro.

Just like at this moment, when he talked about being thrown into the tent as a consumable 'bait', he did not show any resentment. Instead, he proudly showed off to her how powerful he was like an ordinary teenager.

It seemed as if he had accepted and gotten used to being 'abandoned'.

"Yes, but the door of the Jiku needs a password to open, and it is also enchanted. If you want to get a more powerful cursed tool for me, Liang-chan—"

Fushiguro Shigeki supported his chin with one hand, and his eyes, like two clear green springs, looked straight into the air.

He chuckled and said, "It's better not to do it for now. There might be trouble."

With the credit of rescuing the 'two second-level sorcerers', or translated as him having the power to kill the first-level curse spirits -

Although he is still marginalized as a "waste" who is not a sorcerer as much as possible.

But he clearly felt that his treatment in the Zen temple had improved a lot.
