Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

"Give him back to me, brother." Glass stopped beside the two men and said lightly.

Her expression was a little complicated, as if she was enduring something.

Akihito Ieiri immediately opened his hands and spread out his ten fingers to prove his innocence.

Su Ze fell to the ground with a thud, still looking helpless and miserable. Glass grabbed his sleeve and strode to the other side of the corridor of the mansion.

Miss Haruko is still bothered by the fact that Nozomi didn't call her sister. In her opinion, this is related to the "eldest sister's prestige."

It is something very important and irreplaceable——

But she probably didn't notice that when she addressed her elder brother, Akihito Ieiri, she always called him by his name.

"Glass, cigarettes and alcohol are not really a big problem—"

Akihito Ieiri looked at Nozomi's back and suddenly said calmly.

"—just don't forget that you still have somewhere to go back to."

He then added softly.

The frameless lenses flashed a faint white light, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

Glass had already pulled Suze into another corridor. Before her figure completely disappeared, she turned her head to look at Ieiri Akihito for the last time.

There was no light in the corridor, it was very dark, and I could only barely see my feet with the moonlight.

"Hmph~" Haruko Ieiri approached her eldest brother with her hands behind her back, "You are such a hypocrite, you can actually spit out two tusks?"

She looked playful.

"Glass is an adult now - she will have to leave home eventually."

Akihito Ieiri spoke calmly, as if he had become the business elite who was maneuvering in the negotiations. His eyes were shining with sharpness and foresight that ordinary people could not match.

Haruko Ieiri looked disdainful and sneered at him.

"…But why did she start smoking—" Akihito Ieiri's voice suddenly trembled. He covered his face with his hands and bent down, and a hesitant tone came out from between his fingers.

"When I was a kid, I would be happy for a long time if I had a piece of candy!"

He was mumbling with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were blurred for a moment.

"…crybaby."

Miss Haruko's expression was a little complicated. She crossed her arms over her chest, holding the half-burned mint cigarette between her fingertips. Then she leaned to the other side to get away from this useless adult.

"No wonder you haven't found a girlfriend at the age of 29." She attacked her eldest brother's shortcomings mercilessly.

——But she would never admit that the fact that she didn’t have a boyfriend at the age of 27 was actually the same thing.

"Shut up, you female gorilla." Akihito Ieiri took off his glasses and wiped them carefully.

"You're such a sister complex, do you want to fight?" Miss Haruko held a cigarette in her mouth, closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

She blew out a thin puff of smoke, and a fiery red light burned in the night.

……

Su Ze was dragged forward by Glass's arm. He didn't quite understand why the lights in such a large family mansion were turned off so early.

In short, there was not a single light on in the corridor, and after running for a long time, I didn't see a single servant.

The wooden floor occasionally made a slight creaking sound when stepped on, and Glass ran forward with all her might.

The sound of the clogs hitting the floor was a little loud, probably because each step of Nozomi was very heavy, or maybe she was a little tired from running.

Su Ze let Glass pull him, he did not use Qi to bless him - because Glass's speed was not enough for a sorcerer.

At this moment, she seemed to be just the eldest daughter of a family in a small town, and she was running at full speed as if she had something on her mind.

The crickets outside the window were still chirping, the lights of fireflies were flickering in the grass, and insects that could not be named were circling the incandescent lamp under the eaves.

Su Ze felt that he roughly understood it.

I understand what Glass is thinking.

"Glass."

He looked at Nozomi's back, her short hair fluttering behind her, one hand grasping her wrist, her arms as white and tender as lotus roots revealed under the wide sleeves of her kimono.

Glass didn't respond to him and continued running silently.

The sound of "dong dong" echoed in the old mansion.

"Glass--" Su Ze called out softly again.

Glass still ignored him and continued to move forward, even accelerating.

Su Ze could even hear her slight breathing.

He sighed slightly, and white Qi emerged in an instant.

"…a piece of the wooden board in front is lifted up."

Su Ze reminded softly in a gentle tone.

At the same time, he sped up slightly, gently turned the arm that was captured, and grabbed Nozomi's wrist with his backhand.

As expected, the running Glass tripped on the corner of the wooden board, and then lost her balance and fell forward. Her fluttering sleeves made her look like she was flying in the air, and her short brown hair was thrown back.

Su Ze adjusted his breathing slightly, took two steps towards Glass, and exerted a little force with the hand holding her wrist, which slightly slowed down her falling momentum, and at the same time twisted her falling direction a little.

White socks and gray-blue trousers were revealed under the long hem of the kimono.

Su Ze stretched out his other arm, bent down, picked it up from below, and caught the glass steadily.

The wide sleeves of the kimono slowly dropped, and the air was filled with the faint scent of gardenia.

Probably the smell of shampoo.

Su Ze slowly stood up holding Glass horizontally. The insects outside the side window were still making noise.

Xiaozi curled up slightly and turned her face towards Su Ze. Su Ze had a calm expression, a carefree look in his eyes, and said nothing.

Glass buried her head in his arms, clenched one hand into a fist, and gently lowered it towards him.

"I'm sorry, miss, I made you fall." Su Ze said calmly with a normal expression.

Nitro's body was trembling slightly, and Su Ze could clearly feel her uneasiness.

She is afraid.

Su Ze probably knew what she was afraid of.

——Ah, it's just those guys with bad intentions in the world of curse. The only one who can perform the "reversal technique" to the outside world, Nozomi, has a large group of family members——

——The icing on the cake for those guys is that Nozomi's family is just ordinary people.

——What’s even better is that they all care very much about Nozomi herself.

——Ahh, no matter how you look at it, this is going to be a great deal.

Su Ze was inexplicably touched. He couldn't help but think of the last words Jia Ru Nai said just now.

What responsibility and justice in the world of sorcery - sometimes, he really wanted to say "screw it"...

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Glass.

She shrank in his arms, her body still twitching slightly...

Are you whimpering?

Still crying?

A firefly flew in from the window, approached Xiaozi leisurely, and circled around her with its bright light. Su Ze raised a finger slightly, and the firefly seemed to have found a place to stay after a long journey, and gently landed on his fingertips.

Xiaozi raised her head slightly, and the light was dim and blurry in her tearful eyes. Perhaps because of the tears, the light was gray and yellow and swaying.

"Don't cry, my firefly princess."

Su Ze's eyes were very gentle, and an emotion between "like" and "love" was brewing in the corners of his eyes.

He said gently.
