"Hey, your eyes are wandering. Do you want to borrow money from me? For the sake of us being brothers, just tell me how much you want. It's okay to give the Ming coins directly to you!"
There was a short distance from leaving the World Tree to one of the squares near the World Tree. Along the way, Neil found that Negi peeked at him very frequently, almost every few steps. When he turned his head, Negi quickly turned his head and whistled. This behavior made Neil very unhappy, because it felt very disgusting to be treated like this by a boy, and Negi was not a girl who secretly liked him. .
¡° Could it be that Negi has been looking at 3A girls for a long time and hasn¡¯t had any contact with boys for a long time, and finally his interest in that area has begun to awaken! ?
In an instant, Negi¡¯s image became dangerous in Neil¡¯s eyes.
"Why is it such an unlucky thing to say? How much do you want today's birthday to become the anniversary of my death! What do you mean by that look in your eyes? I always feel super unhappy!!"
Negi was obviously stunned by Neil's sudden words for a few seconds before he reacted. Coupled with the weird look in his eyes, he couldn't help but complain angrily.
Neil stuck out his tongue, put his hands on the back of his head, and quickened his pace slightly, leading Negi by half a body.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Negi paused for a moment, looking sideways at the face partially blocked by his arms, his eyes flashing behind the lenses.
¡°Hey, Neil, has something happened to you recently?¡±
I always feel that something has changed in him.
Neil¡¯s pace slowed down unconsciously, but soon returned to its original state, and he asked without looking back.
"Why do you think so?"
¡°I just feel like you¡¯ve been a little absent-minded these days, as if you¡¯re a little further away¡±
Raising his head and looking at the stars covering the night sky, the starlight gently reflected the faint light on Negi's glasses.
Neil put down his hands and put them behind his back. He also raised his head and stared at him from a distance.
"No, nothing has changed"
In the end, he was still like that.
Nothing has changed.
"Neil"
Negi turned his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but for a long time, he did not say another word.
"Don't talk about me, it's you" Neil suddenly spoke up and grabbed the topic, turning his face and blinking, "You are the one who should be said to be absent-minded, right? You seem to have no energy recently, as if you were distracted by something. Things are bothering me"
"Is it that obvious?"
Negi lowered his head and muttered quietly, but Neil could still hear him beside him.
"It's all written on your face I thought you looked confident after the school festival, but it turns out you've been so worried these days that you almost jumped off a building. What, is it a worry about love, boy?" "
When talking about love, Neil¡¯s eyes brightened up and his tone was full of ridicule.
"No, I just had a quarrel with Asuna-san"
Negi rolled his eyes at him and became dejected again.
"Sister? Oh, haha, it really is a matter of love~~~You dishonest guy~~~"
"Do you have to think about this!?"
"Okay, what did you and eldest sister argue about?"
Neil spread his hands and did not continue teasing the other party.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Asuna-san just reminded me that I am very similar to Chao-san"
Negi lowered his head a little further and sighed softly.
"I see, the eldest sister is angry because of this"
Neil looked at his brother¡¯s confused expression, and he probably figured out what was going on between him and Asuna.
After meeting with Gunel and learning that his father was still alive, Neil also guessed what Negi was thinking now. He must be full of things about his father. Since a long time ago, Negi has been working hard for his father. , constantly injured, and constantly moving forward. After getting more accurate news, he will only work harder to move forward for his dream, even at the risk of losing his life.
Father seems to be everything to him.
This is exactly the same as the super ring tone.
For the sake of your dreams, you are willing to give up everything, including your own happiness.
And Tomorrow Cai is angry about it, maybe that's it.
"Actually, Asuna-san is right, and I said the same thing to Chao-san, but I"?
Although he clearly rejected Chao's approach, he himself followed Chao's path, almost exactly the same path.
He, how should he choose?
"Neji, do you still remember what Chao Lingyin said?"
Neil didn¡¯t pay attention to Negi¡¯s current expression and just continued talking.
"Don't stop, keep moving forward This sentence should be very suitable for you now. For you, your father's affairs can be said to be everything to you. If you are asked to give up everything now for this, you must be able to do it. Yes, in this aspect, you, Chao Lingyin, and I are really the same"
Neil slowly took a breath of the refreshing summer night, his eyes slightly focused on Negi's face.
"However, I think this is correct, or in other words, any approach is correct, but everyone chooses a different position. It is probably impossible for you to give up looking for your father, so why not go all the way? Black, just like Kick-Ass who became a hero after being knocked headlong"
"Well, I always feel that the tone of your words has suddenly changed a lot"
"Don't worry about these things. Your goal is very clear anyway. You just think too much. Anyway, there is only one way you want to go from now on, isn't it?"
Facing Neil¡¯s smile, Negi seemed to know a little bit about what he should choose.
"However, I have one more thing to say. No matter what you choose, you should also pay more attention to the people around you, such as eldest sister. I think eldest sister is very clear about your thoughts, and this is what she is worried about. , it¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t want to see you scarring yourself, the eldest sister¡¯s idea is probably that simple"
Neil took a few steps forward, tapping his toes slightly. As his body turned, his long hair fluttered lightly, and his face was clearly reflected in Negi's eyes.
"Don't forget this, because when you lose, the pain is not something you can bear"
"Neil"
They were only a few steps apart, but Niji felt like they were separated by a chasm.
Because there was a bit of sad nostalgia in Neil's eyes, which blocked his approach.
"Well, that's all I want to say. It's up to you what you think about next" Neil spread his hands and smiled softly, then turned a little evil again, "But eldest sister really loves you deeply. Said~~~"
"Why do you come back here again!!!"
The sentimental atmosphere just now was gone, and Negi rolled his eyes angrily.
¡°Hehe~~~¡±
Neil grinned wider, looked away slightly, and saw the surrounding environment clearly. His smile was frozen, and his expression was a little confused.
"Ah, by the way, what am I doing here?"
"Huh? Don't you know it yourself!?"
"I really don't know, I'm following you"
"How are you following me!? You are following me and running in front of me!!"
"In this case, I will go home. Goodbye, young man who works hard~~~"
Neil waved his hand and walked forward without looking back, but he was immediately grabbed by the collar.
"It's rare that you come here, so just patrol with me. You have a lot of time anyway"
I don¡¯t know where Niji got the strength, but he was holding on to Neil¡¯s collar as firmly as a rock.
"Hey, I'm not on duty tonight, and my youth is calling me!!"
"What youth?"
¡°Galgame on the computer!!!¡±
¡°Delete your youth for me!!¡±
"Do you want to ruin my life!?"
"Your life is too insignificant!!"
Seeing that Negi refused to let go of him, Neil lowered his head helplessly, but after waiting for a while, he found that Negi was still where he was.
"Aren't you going to patrol? Why are you standing here without moving? You want to be a sentinel!"
"No, I'm waitingah, here it comes!"
When Negi was talking, a figure in the field of vision gradually enlarged, and he suddenly shouted.
Neil looked in the direction that Negi was looking at, and saw Setsuna coming this way quickly, and Kamo the ferret was lying on her shoulder.
"Why is Kamo and Setsuna-san together?"
Generally speaking, doesn¡¯t Kamo, the pervert, always follow Negi?
"If you come to me today, I will ask Kamo to find Setsuna-san first, and then we will make an appointment to meet here."
? ?Ji smiled and explained in a calm tone.
Neil glanced at Negi thoughtfully, his eyes brightened slightly, and then fell silent.
"Teacher Negi, Teacher Neil, good evening."
Setsuna quickly arrived in front of them. There seemed to be no surprise about Neil's appearance. Negi or Kamo must have told her in advance.
"Boss Neil, long time no see."
Kamo jumped from Setsuna¡¯s shoulder to Negi, turned to say hello to Neil.
"It's been a long time indeed. You haven't done anything wrong recently, have you?"
Neil half-opened his eyes and glanced at Kamo who was stiff.
¡°No, absolutely not!! I don¡¯t dare to lose even a hair under Boss Neil¡¯s eyes!!¡±
"That means you did a lot of bad things that I didn't see, right?"
Under Kamo¡¯s desperate eyes, Neil raised a bright smile.
"Okay, Neil, Kamo hasn't done much recently and has helped me a lot. Let's go on patrol now"
Seeing this, Negi had no choice but to interrupt Neil's topic.
Neil waved his hand quickly, as if he refused to agree.
"No, it's not my turn tonight, I won't work overtime, you have to go do it yourself!"
"Anyway, you are here, and you will do some meaningless things when you go back. It is better to stay. It is rare that we can be on duty together"
¡°What¡¯s so pointless!! You¡¯re actually vetoing my life!!¡±
"Teacher, what are you talking about?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Setsuna on the side was confused.
"It's nothing, it's just that Neil promised us to patrol together. One more person will add more strength."
Negi turned to Setsuna and smiled, taking Neil with him by the way.
Raising his head, Neil looked at the starry sky and lazily followed Negi and Setsuna.
¡°It¡¯s only been less than two minutes! How unmotivated you are!!¡±
Neil didn¡¯t pay attention to Neji¡¯s words. He turned to look at An Jing walking beside him, his eyes rolled, and he didn¡¯t know what he was thinking.
"Speaking of Setsuna-san, why are you and Negi together? Could it be that you are having an unethical love affair with your eldest lady and her fianc¨¦ behind your back!?"
Neil covered his mouth with his hands, his face filled with disbelief.
"Who do you think is the betrothed!!"
"I did not betray the eldest lady!!"
"As expected of Neil, he said all the things in my heart, but it doesn't matter, brother, you can be considered Setsuna's master, it's totally okay!!"
"How is it OK!!!" x2
The two of them shouted at Kamo at the same time, dumbfounded.
¡°I understand, I know how to do it, huh huh~~~~~¡±
"You know nothing! The laughter behind you is full of bad intentions!!"
"Teacher Neil, I will never change my heart for the eldest lady!!"
In desperation, Setsuna expressed his loyalty to Konoka without thinking.
"Oh, that's true" x3
At this time, two young men, one a pervert, looked at Setsuna with ambiguous eyes. Setsuna was stunned, and then turned red and waved his hands in denial.
"No, it's not what you think. I, I just treat the eldest lady, just"
"Love¡¡"
"It's love"
"like."
The three guys caught Setsuna¡¯s words very wisely.
"Nah!!!!!!!"
At night, the girl¡¯s shy screams broke through the sky.
"You guys are really energetic"
Suddenly a voice intervened in the joke between three people and one mink. They followed the sound at the same time and saw a young man wearing a high school uniform leaning against a lamppost, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and his eyes glanced slightly Their fingertips are still touching the bright screen.
"Why are you here? Are you also patrolling at night?"
Neil walked over and obviously knew the other person.
The young man then turned his head, looked at Neil walking towards him, and smiled slightly.
"Well, I'm short of manpower recently, so I came to help. Anyway, I still get overtime pay"
"Senior Muchen."
In an instant, he also came over and bowed respectfully to the other party.
The young man is Jun Muchen.
"It's Setsuna-chan, why are you with this bastard brat?"
"Who are you calling a bastard? Speaking of bastards, you bastard is even more of a bastard!!"
¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, it¡¯s full of balls in one sentence, it¡¯s really dirty!¡±
¡°It¡¯s your head that¡¯s dirty!!¡±
"Well, actually, Teacher Neil is here to patrol tonight, so we came together"
"The moment interrupted the two people's unscrupulous conversation, and at the same time, I felt that the two guys were really similar.
"Neil, Setsuna-san, who is this gentleman?"
There is obviously someone here who doesn¡¯t know the other person.
"Oh, this is a student from the high school department. Senior Jun Muchen, like me, is also employed by the school and is very powerful."
Seeing that Neal had no intention of introducing him, Setsuna had no choice but to introduce him to Neji. When he looked at Jun Muchen, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Ahahaha, I am stronger in that area"
Jun Muchen touched the back of his head and smiled brightly, swinging his waist back and forth slightly.
In an instant, he turned away with his cheeks slightly red, Negi looked puzzled, while Neil's eyes were full of contempt.
"You can no longer be described as a scumbag."
"Uh, um, nice to meet you, Mr. Jun."
Although I didn¡¯t understand what Jun Muchen meant by that aspect, I still extended my hand in a friendly manner.
"This is Teacher Negi, just call me Muchen. He is such a personable gentleman, completely different from a guy who only knows bullshit"
With a gentle smile on her face, Jun Muchen held Niji¡¯s hand and said something that made someone angry.
"It's much better than you, the guy with the same curly hair as [beep¡ª¡ª]"
Neil twitched the corners of his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and said coldly.
¡°Although my hair is black and curly, it is definitely not the curly hair on [beep¡ª¡ª]!!¡±
"Ah la la, you really didn't bring it upon yourself"
The two people looked at each other, as if there were sparks constantly arousing.
"Well, Neil, you and Mr. Muchen are very familiar with each other."
"Only a ghost is familiar with this kind of guy!" Neil turned his head and glared at Niji, then immediately turned back to stare at Jun Muchen, "This guy had a fight with me for no reason last time, what do you think? Is this kind of person seriously ill?!"
¡°It¡¯s not just for nothing!!¡±
"Then what are you talking about!!"
¡°Because I¡¯m bored!!¡±
¡°Idiot!!¡±
"Ha, I really don't understand"
Negi held his forehead with a headache, feeling as if two Neils appeared in front of him.
"Speaking of which, what are you doing here alone?"
"I'm waiting for someone."
Jun Muchen put away his phone and said with a yawn.
"Ha, waiting for someone? You don't look like you have a date, do you?"
"How different! One day I will go to a love hotel with the president!!"
"One sentence will reveal your true face clearly."
Neil sighed very much, this guy is really powerful in combat, his combat effectiveness has broken through the lower limit.
"Actually, I was waiting for the principal's guests to come out" Seeing the curiosity in the three people's eyes, Jun Muchen continued, "They are people from the Holy Church."
"The Holy Church? Is it dealing with the previous ghoul incident?"
Neil was the first to react, and at the same time, three unlucky children flashed through his mind.
"Ghoul? What ghoul?"
Negi and Setsuna looked at Neil suspiciously. Neil was stunned. It seemed that they didn't know about the incident.
After briefly explaining it to them, Negi and Setsuna's expressions changed slightly and became a little heavy.
¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to be so nervous. As long as you deal with it well, you won¡¯t be afraid of too much trouble¡±
Jun Muchen put away his playful look and calmly comforted the two of them, with a comforting warmth in his voice.
"Yeah." x2
"By the way, who was sent by the Holy Church?" Neil raised his eyes and looked at Jun Muchen, "Is it the agent? Or are the people from the burial agency also coming out?"
"You know a lot" Jun Muchen's eyes were slightly surprised, and then he continued to lean against the lamppost lazily, "That person is the person in charge of the nearby Shengtang Church stronghold, he is oh, myself Look, he comes out."
Jun Muchen suddenly stood up straight and looked back at the building behind him. In the darkness, the sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps sounded rhythmically.
Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him, and the figure in the shadow gradually became clearer, and the cross hanging on his chest reflected a faint silver light.
"Oh? I didn't expect there would be so many people here"
There seemed to be a little surprise in the heavy voice, and a man wearing a black priest's uniform appeared in front of everyone.
Neil¡¯s pupils shrank tightly, and the man¡¯s face was deeply imprinted on his retinas. He opened his mouth slightly, then bit his lower lip tightly, and an imperceptible trace of violent murderous intention passed deep in his eyes.
Soon, the trace of hostility disappeared, and Neil stood aside silently, returning to his usual listless appearance.
Jun Muchen, who had been keeping quiet, glanced at Neil thoughtfully, then stood up with a smile and introduced the newcomer to Niji and the others.
"This is the chief priest of Haiming City Church, and the person in charge of negotiating with our Magic Association on behalf of the Holy Church Church, Kotomine Kirei."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Muchen faced Kotomine Kirei and introduced the person on the other side.
"These three are magicians and swordsmen from the Magic Association, Negi Springfield, Neil Springfield, and Setsuna Sakurasaki."
"Good evening, you three. I never expected that the Magic Association would have such outstanding children."
Kotomine Kirei's eyes are always heavy, giving people a serious feeling.
"You're flattered, Mr. Kotomine."
Facing the other party¡¯s compliment, Negi quickly nodded in return.
Kotomine Kirei¡¯s eyes passed over the faces of the three of them one by one. When he saw Neil, he paused for a moment and then turned to Jun Muchen.
"Mr. Muchen, my business has been finished, and it's almost time for me to leave."
"Let me take you out" Jun Muchen nodded to the other party, and then winked at the three of them, "Then I will lead Mr. Yanfeng to leave, and you three can continue working"
"Okay, Mr. Muchen."
"Goodbye, Senior Muchen."
Neil didn¡¯t look at Kirei for a second, he raised his head and nodded lightly to Jun Muchen, then turned around and left with the two of them.
"Then let's go, Mr. Kotomine."
"sorry to bother you."
Kotomine Kirei nodded in thanks, then vaguely glanced at the direction Neil left, with an obscure smile on his lips.
Reaching the entrance of the academy, Jun Muchen stopped and turned to talk to Kotomine Kirei, who was following closely behind him.
"Well, thank you."
Jun Muchen nodded slightly to him and walked away.
Kotomine Kirei calmly watched Jun Muchen leave. He slowly turned around until his back disappeared.
¡°It seems like something interesting happened tonight, Kirei.¡±
The strange voice appeared out of thin air, but Kotomine Kirei did not feel the slightest surprise, and his expressionless face maintained his usual indifference.
"What are you referring to?"
Kirei stared at the void in front of him, as if there was a figure in front of him talking to him.
"hehe¡¡"
The sound of laughter was accompanied by golden light particles, which gathered together little by little. Soon, the silhouette of a human figure loomed in the golden light.
"You should have discovered it, that brat"
Yao dispersed, and a young man wearing a black jacket had his hands in his trouser pockets. His handsome face was full of arrogance, and a pair of bloody eyes under the golden bangs seemed to have an addictive demonic quality, staring directly at the indifferent eyes. man.
Seeing that Kirei remained silent, the young man raised an evil smile on his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blood in his eyes became more and more piercing.
"He seems to have the same thing as us."
Qili looked at the man??, his eyes were cold, and he met those eyes that were difficult for mortals to look directly into without giving in.
Suddenly, Kirei smiled.
A gloomy smile appeared on his cold and sharp face.
"Indeed, aren't you interested, Gilgamesh?"
"Of course I have interests. There aren't many things in this world that interest me" The smile on Gilgamesh's lips grew wider, and the light in his eyes became more and more elusive. "But, we can't be interested in him now." Take action."
"Oh why?"
There was a hint of curiosity in Kirei's expression.
Such emotional changes are very rare for him.
"Because of the agreement with that guy, if that kid encounters danger within my sight, try to save his life."
Gilgamesh withdrew his gaze and raised his head slightly. The night sky was reflected in his eyes, and he seemed to be able to see a night similar to the original one.
"That mysterious heroic spirit?"
Kirei frowned, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in his mind.
"Um."
Gilgamesh¡¯s gaze retracted from the sky and fell on Kirei.
