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

November 2006, 11, July 15 Children’s Day.

Huailiang got up early. His lips, which were swollen and red from being bitten, had almost recovered after one night, and a thin layer of scab had formed on the bite wound.

After carefully applying the medicine in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but curse under her breath: "I was born in the year of the dog."

Good news - she has made a major breakthrough in the process of conquering the main character Geto Suguru and has gained a favorability score of 60.

The bad news - in the original timeline, Geto Suguru did indeed defect from the high school and become a ruthless villain, just as she had previously speculated.

Whether it was last week or this week, through spending a long time together, she was certain that Geto Suguru was not a person who killed indiscriminately.

Even though he encountered some bad things during his growing up period because he could see cursed spirits, it was far from causing him to go to extremes and fall into darkness.

She had heard the word "monkey" twice in the precognitive images related to the other party.

At first she thought it was a secret code from some special curser, but the appearance of Fushiguro Shigeu during the astral plasma incident completely awakened her.

"It's so ironic that you lost to a monkey like me who has no cursed power." This was what Fushiguro Shige said casually after defeating Geto Suguru.

This almost makes it clear that "monkey" is equivalent to "a person without magical power."

Then the question is, for Geto Suguru, who has always believed in protecting non-magicians and has carried out the belief that "the strong should protect the weak" for most of his life -

Why do you hate 'monkeys' so much?

What shook his faith? What major events did he encounter later that caused his outlook on life and the world to be completely shattered and reorganized?

Huai Liang had no way of knowing all this, but now that she had obtained the identity of "Xia Youjie's girlfriend", she could naturally ask him to unconditionally share the trivialities of life and emotional ups and downs... good or bad, she had the right to know everything.

It was worth it that she let out such a long line for so long, and finally caught the big fish.

"I'm taking the two kids next door to the shrine. Today is the Seven-Five-Three Children's Day."

"I'm jealous"

"This is the first message you sent me."

Huailiang was surprised to find that after confirming the relationship, the other party seemed to become less reserved and would express his emotions directly.

This was a side she had never seen before, and it was a wonderful contrast.

With a smile on his lips, Huailiang began to respond word by word:

"Then I'm not going?"

"I wanted to go to the shrine to get an amulet and give it to you as a surprise when I come back."

The opponent replied almost instantly:

"What type?"

"Marriage~"

Huai Liang looked at the words 'the other party is typing' that kept appearing on the screen, but he didn't receive a single word for a long time. One could imagine how intense the ideological struggle the other party was going through.

About ten minutes later, she received a reply after she picked up Miki Fushiguro and Megumi Fushiguro and got in the car.

"knew"

"I'll come see you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock"

"Let's go on a date, just the two of us."

"Tsu Miki-chan and Hui-chan, you must be the most beautiful children in all of Japan today~"

Miki Fushiguro was wearing a light purple kimono with a camellia pattern, and a wide white belt was used instead of a rope to tighten the kimono.

Megumi Fushiguro wore a dark blue haori outer garment and kimono skirt with auspicious patterns of pine and crane embroidered from the bottom to the top.

She had it custom-made two months in advance at the most famous kimono shop in Tokyo, at a huge expense - but the money had already been deducted from Fushiguro Shige's dividend.

Fearing that the weather would be too cold, she even asked the store to prepare matching pure white fox fur waistcoats, which made their faces look even more lovely.

"Thank you, Sister Huai~"

Huailiang clearly told them that he had business dealings with Fushiguro Shigeki, and that every penny they spent was child support that Shigeki should pay, so they didn't need to feel any psychological burden.

Perhaps because she no longer has to worry about money and with the company of her relative, Fushiguro Miki, who originally had a somewhat inferior and pleaser personality, has become more and more cheerful, and gradually has the liveliness that a girl of this age should have.

Megumi Fushiguro has gradually let down his guard and gained a certain sense of security. Although he still behaves like a little adult on weekdays, he has gradually learned to express his thoughts and no longer keeps everything in his heart.

Huailiang was quite proud of her "cub-raising skills", as if she was raising her childhood self all over again.

"Fasten your seat belts. There are some Chitose candies in the back seat... They're in the bag with the crane and turtle pictures on it. Eat them after you finish your visit."

"I know~"

Considering the safety and space of travel, Huai Liang did not drive a cool supercar, but chose a tank model with a higher chassis.

After receiving a positive response, she stepped on the accelerator and headed towards a shrine near Tokyo.

Passing through a long vermilion torii corridor, Huailiang led the two little ones through a stone path lined with huge redwood trees on both sides.

This shrine is located in a relatively secluded mountain forest, but because of the festival today, it is not quiet, but rather lively.

Families with children aged 3, 5, or 7 will visit the shrine together and pray for their children's safety, health, and longevity.

Today is a rare sunny day without snow. The breeze in the forest brings the fragrance of moss and soil.

"First, we have to throw the money from the bottom up into the box as a tribute to the gods - yes, very accurate~"

Huailiang began to explain the rules of worship, which required one to first pull the hanging hemp rope to ring the bell.

Bow twice, clap your hands twice, and finally put your palms together and bow once more.

"In this way, the wish you made can come true."

Huailiang had no intention of finding out the wishes of the two children, but he did not expect to be teased by Fushiguro Megumi when he asked for amulets.

"What kind of amulet would you like to ask for, Sister Huai? Is your wish just now related to the brother with fox eyes yesterday?"

Grabbing the other's head and rubbing the 'sea urchin' even more messy, Huailiang said with a smile: "Is Hui interested?"

"We're going to go down the mountain later, and we're going to take a 'family photo'. Let me think... does Hui want to try on the pretty dress that Tsu Miki is wearing?"

"It's settled, it will definitely be very cute~"

Huailiang taught the other party a lesson without hesitation - what it means that trouble comes from the mouth.

"Never!"

Fushiguro Megumi shook her head violently like a rattle, "I won't say anything."

As they were joking around, an old voice slowly sounded, "Are you the descendant of Huai?"

Huailiang looked up and saw an old woman wearing white trousers.

Her face was full of wrinkles, and she seemed to be in her sixties. She looked like a priestess in a shrine.

This made her feel alert - could it be like in some temples in China, where they met a 'predestined person' and needed to spend money to ward off disaster?
