That night, the two of them went all the way from the bed to the bathtub, and from the bathtub to the bed, and finally hugged each other and fell asleep in a daze.When the alarm clock rang the next day, Joseph was still hanging on Aesop's body, hugging Aesop's neck tightly, and Aesop's arm was pressed on his waist, holding his fluffy tail in his palm.

——It was a very chaotic scene.

The alarm clock rang once, but was turned off by Joseph, and they didn't wake up until the alarm clock rang for the second time.Joseph got up first and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, he saw Aesop sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed, and reading a stack of parchment tasks in his hand.Joseph was stunned for a moment, then walked over and stopped in front of Aesop: "Chu Ye worked so hard the next morning, I almost thought what happened last night was a dream."

"It's not a dream." Aesop's tone was as usual, but Joseph always felt that his side face seemed to be a little red with his head down, "But what happened last night is one thing, and today's task is another thing. Finish it well. How about going to see the enchantment that needs to be rebuilt today? I checked on the way yesterday, the location is not far from here, and the task should not be difficult."

"Let me see." Joseph sat next to him and took his task list, "Well, an enchantment that was destroyed by the chaos of monsters many years ago? This is not a mess left by me. That area is usually It’s peaceful, you shouldn’t have encountered enemies in the past, but it’s very suitable for you to go now. It’s inconvenient for you to move now, and it will be troublesome if you encounter strong enemies.”

"..." Aesop looked up at Joseph with a complicated expression, "Although it hurt a little last night, I feel that I can still move normally and fight."

"Then you walk back and forth in this room and show me."

Aesop nodded, got up and got out of bed to show Joseph.Although his walking steps were still steady and his waist was straight, Joseph could tell at a glance that there was a subtle error in his posture, and his steps were all stiff.Finally, Aesop accidentally staggered when he walked back, and Joseph, who had been nervous for a long time, also made a timely move at this time, pulling Aesop into his arms.

Aesop was suddenly embraced by Joseph. He didn't react for a while, but just looked up at Joseph's face blankly.Joseph sighed, lowered his head and let the two foreheads touch each other affectionately, his tone was very soft: "Aesop, we are already together, you can rely on me more, don't always be brave. It doesn't mean that you are weaker than me. I take care of it, but I mean that after two people are together, there is always a possibility that one person can't solve the problem. Don't hold on at this time. Don't couples need mutual support? Just like you today because of me, act If it's inconvenient, then you can let me run the way you don't run. Do you understand?"

"En." Aesop nodded quietly after hearing him finish speaking. He stretched out his hands and hugged Joseph's waist tightly.

"You, you are obviously capable of fighting in force, but you are a bit stupid as a human being. You always want me to teach you. You are still young." Joseph let him hug him for a while before letting him go gently, "Let's go, rebuild the barrier go."

The two checked out of the love hotel room, took a taxi at the door, and sat in the back seat together when they got in the car.The uncle driver watched these two young men of the same sex come out of the love hotel side by side intimately, and dressed as if they were about to go to a cosplay exhibition, he was so dazed that he didn't dare to talk, honestly Sit in the driver's seat and drive a car.This is convenient for Joseph and Aesop. After all, they have only been in love for a short time, and they took advantage of what happened last night to strengthen their relationship. Now it is naturally sweet.They huddled in the back seat, held hands and whispered all the way, and when they got out of the car to pay the bill, they were full of joy, which made the driver, Monk Zhang Er, puzzled.

After the driver left, the two calmed down and returned to the state of solving the task.They walked inward to the task area indicated on the task list, which was an open space in the pass, and the terrain was theoretically easy to defend but difficult to attack.After Aesop walked around this area briefly, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not very smart to think of a monster that chooses this place to cause trouble. It's no wonder that the enchantment here hasn't been repaired for so long, it's unnecessary."

"But don't worry until it's repaired. How do you see it?" Joseph came over and helped Aesop sit down on the big rock beside him.Aesop nodded, and used his fingertips to trace a small magic circle with a shimmer of magic on the surface of the stone beside him: "Look, the more troublesome thing is the four corners of the field, and you need to draw a magic circle to calm it down. Like this. This area is huge, and you don’t need any magic power to draw a magic circle, so you can go for me. By the way, I have some magic materials in my box, maybe you will use them, so bring them.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and chanted a spell intently.The next moment, a familiar red and black coffin appeared in front of them out of thin air. The door of the coffin was pushed open, and a simple articulated doll walked out of it, took the box handed over by Aesop, and followed Joseph obediently.Joseph couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is this also necromantic magic?"

"That's right, but don't think too much about it, it's just a hollow doll." Aesop lowered his eyes, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you talk about it. The person who taught me this magic was my adoptive father, and he was a necromancer. He told me that the undead had completely lost their memories and dispositions when they were humans, and they were no different from monsters, and told me to drive them with confidence. My understanding of the magic world at that time was entirely from him, so naturally I believed it. Until later……"

"It wasn't until later, when your adoptive father passed away, that you joined the mentor of the Exorcist Association, that you realized that the undead hadn't lost what they had in life. They just magnified the sadness and despair in your heart when you were alive, but, We should still give them respect for life; that's why you switched to elemental magic. Right?"

"……Um."

"It's okay." Joseph patted Aesop's shoulder knowingly, "After hearing your confession, I'm quite happy. Fortunately, you are not a necromancer now, otherwise seeing my brother Necromancer, you two Don't you want to fight first?"

Aesop couldn't hold back any of it, and burst out laughing with a "poof".

"And more importantly, from this incident, I saw your attitude in dealing with things. I always thought that you would not be the kind of person who is rigid like those old-fashioned exorcists. Now it seems that I am more and more curious. Possibilities in you—because you once overthrew your beliefs." Joseph stood up as he spoke, and before he left, he took a photo of the magic circle drawn by Aesop with his mobile phone and took it with him, "Okay , I will go and finish the task you gave me first, you can just rest here, and call me if you have something to do."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, with the gray tail swaying with his steps.Aesop watched him go away, then he turned his head, looked at the trees behind him and raised his voice and said: "Don't hide, come out, I wonder why such a task is arranged in the itinerary, it turns out that it is because you are here."

A moment later, the screech owl hooted in the air.The little bird and a blindfolded man in a dark red suit and black hood slowly fell from the treetops. Aesop stood up and looked at the person in front of him.

Eli Clark, the "judge" with the ability to predict.
