Reincarnation Band Magician

This can't be done.

He patted his cheek, picked up the phone, and noticed that the screen saver had some white edges.

【Go back and change it. 】

Ms. Fengchuan would not use a private social account to add strangers, so this person must be a friend.

In this case, we should at least explain the situation. After all, we haven’t been able to contact Xiangzi for half a month.

However, wouldn't it be considered a dangerous situation if a stranger like me took Xiangzi's cell phone and said that we wouldn't contact each other for half a month?

No matter what, we have to communicate.

There is also Xiaoxiang's father lying inside. He also needs to know what Xiangzi did. After all, they are family and such things cannot be hidden.

[Go on sleeping. Perhaps when you wake up, Xiaoxiang's mother will be alive again.]

When the time comes, his family's encouragement will surely cheer him up - he might just be surprised.

I found the scene interesting just by imagining it.

He shook his head, thinking that it was a bit rude to think about his elders like this.

Qing turned on his phone.

In modern times, private mobile phones and computers are a collection of human privacy.

Any normal person, especially young people, will have some shameful things in their mobile phones.

Lian Qing himself... He needs to reflect on the fact that he also secretly watched bad things when he was in junior high school.

But Miss Xiangzi is open and honest.

Her privacy only includes chat messages with family and friends, and photos that record her life.

There is nothing imperfect.

The most unhealthy things she covered with the magic of forgetfulness.

She is a cunning girl who uses such honesty to deceive Qing.

Check and open the chat software.

Xiangzi seems to be the type of person who would delete messages he hasn't communicated with for a long time, so the main page only has people with cucumber flower avatars.

Qing used great willpower to restrain the sinful desire to peek into the chat records.

But I still saw the most recent few sentences.

Above are the words of concern from Little Cucumber Flower to Xiaoxiang.

Judging from the way they addressed each other and the words they used in these few sentences, it was a girl, seemingly young. The first two sentences mentioned school and life, so were they classmates? Or maybe they knew each other as children and could go to school together?

It can be confirmed that Miss Cucumber Flower has a very close relationship with Miss Fengchuan, so close that she knows her recent life.

[Even I only realized this after spending a long time with him...]

Qing pursed her lips, her cheeks puffing out a little.

Xiangzi's final response was... Looking at the date, counting on my fingers, it was a month ago:

"I understand. Please don't tell her about my time in Haneda. Thank you very much."

Do I have to type out the honorifics in full when chatting with someone close to me on the app? Xiang, you're such a weirdo.

When Qing saw these words, he could picture the image in his mind, exactly as Xiangzi looked when he first saw him.

Like a hedgehog in the refrigerator, cold and covered with thorns.

However, such a response further narrowed the scope, meaning that the other party was at least of the same age. Xiang would not use such words to treat his elders, and he would remain polite even if the other party was someone he disliked.

Summary: A young girl who is familiar to Xiang, perhaps the kind of girl he has been friends with since childhood.

Qing started stroking his nails again.

Yesterday, Cucumber Flower posted: [Xiang, how are you doing recently?]

After one night without a reply, the other party sent another message: [I didn’t say anything about Xiang.]

Feel it carefully.

This sentence means, "I didn't do what you asked me not to do, so can you pay attention to me?"

Or maybe he was overthinking it.

Also, this child's word choice is very stiff. Is he not good at speaking?

I didn't wait any longer because it already showed "read".

The person who designed this function will go to hell after death.

After thinking for a moment, Qing typed a response: [Hello, I’m Xiangzi…]

Backspace.

[I'm Xiang's friend. She's away at the moment, and because it's urgent, I've asked you to let her know. The deadline is about two weeks.]

Half a month later, the time in this world will freeze again. When they come back next time, everything will return to normal and the happiness of the past will be in their hands again.

After sending the message, Qing put away his phone.

Let him keep it for the time being.

Keep cleaning.

A short break on the journey: 239, the confrontation between the two

On a rainy day, in a spacious mansion with a "Ruoye" logo.

The delicate green-haired girl in a dark blue plaid skirt stared at her phone in silence, her yellow eyes showing slight emotional fluctuations before returning to indifference.

He's a liar.

She lay on her back in bed.

[Xiang, there is no friend who can touch her phone. ]

Something must have happened and something needs to be done.

Such thoughts filled my chest.

But the more excited, the more empty.

Emotions flowed in her empty shell, making her realize that she had nothing.

【I can’t do anything.】

She is the daughter of "Ruoye".

There are so many things you shouldn’t do, like not going out on a rainy day.

Because of this reason, and only because of this reason...

Anger and numbness burned in my heart at the same time.

In the end, everything will turn to ashes.

[For auspicious things, someone must...]

Using her limited social skills, she tried to find someone who would not damage her friend's self-esteem and who was capable enough.

The answer is zero.

A person named Wakaba Mutsu, like Toyokawa Shoko, has no friends.

Still, she tried her best to think.

"By the way, Xiang's father..."

At this time, there is only that person.

The slender and beautiful girl, like a doll, was worried about her friend.

But no one seems to think about how to save the child.

Even the little cries from the deepest part of her heart were so weak that she herself could not hear them.

……

"Well……"

So thirsty.

want to drink water.

Without opening my eyelids, I felt that the room was dim.

It means my daughter is coming back.

Then quench your thirst with beer.

The man named Toyokawa Kiyoshi has been doing this for some time.

When there were other people in the room, he seemed to be torturing himself, sinking deep into the emptiness of alcohol.

[I don't want to drink anymore. How could anyone like something this unpalatable?]

He didn't really like alcohol, and even the hallucinations he felt after drinking were gradually covered by guilt.

However, this body has a strange talent in this area. It metabolizes alcohol very quickly and needs to drink continuously to numb itself.

The smell of red and white alcohol is too strong and may affect his daughter's health, so before his daughter came, he drank a dozen liters and then stopped after getting tired of it. He always drank beer with sake to fall asleep quickly.

[Why... did it become like this? ]

I thought about this problem again, like Sisyphus's rolling stone, stopping halfway every time and then continuing to think about it.

It was particularly quiet today. The moisture from the rain made people feel refreshed, and Fengchuan Qingjiao's mind became more stable.

It's okay to make a mistake in judgment and pay the price for it.

But my daughter...Xiangzi, shouldn't come here.

She should continue to live in the Toyokawa family instead of getting rotten in such a place with him.

Flowers may grow in rotten soil, but no one will appreciate them, and the flowers will rot after blooming.

I have no hope anymore. At most I will be a middle-aged man living a mediocre life.

And Xiangzi, the last treasure Ruihui left him, that child must be in a white, beautiful, shining place... not here.

At the border between drunkenness and sobriety, Toyokawa Kiyoshi developed a deep sense of guilt.

My wife once said: "Your strength is your honesty."

He couldn't tell his daughter these things. He couldn't lie. Once he opened his mouth, he would tell her everything.

That way my daughter would be determined to stay here. She is always so stubborn, Qinggao knows it.

He had done something wrong and the punishment from his "father" was a bit harsh, but Qing Gao thought that it was a father venting his anger for his daughter's death and blaming him for not taking good care of his daughter... which was understandable.

There are many dark places in the Toyokawa family, but her father, Xiangzi's grandfather, cares about her and will spare no effort to clear obstacles for her future.

Xiangzi should not be mediocre, should not only bloom and shine in a narrow corner, she should become a great person, for everyone to see...

Therefore, our side can only appear to be worse than the Toyokawa family.

[I just can't lie...that's why I ended up like this!]

I will never become that kind of person. I will never lie to Xiangzi...

Mizuho, ​​please forgive me...

He thought about this every day, suffering mentally and physically, and the pain also made him more sober.

After the initial escape, I thought about changing the status quo, but my body had become accustomed to alcohol. I had been drinking it since Xiangzi was around, and now I want to drink it anytime.

"Why can't I... do anything... Mizuho, ​​tell me..."

The middle-aged man hummed something that no one could hear and slowly opened his eyes.

Will this be helpful?

Maybe there was, at least today, Xiangzi didn't talk to him.

Just let him fall into depravity alone.
