At 5:47 p.m., the sky outside was reddish, the light from the sun as it sank into the clouds.
The evening breeze blew through the car window onto my face, bringing gusts of wind that weren't exactly refreshing.
Summer winds are probably all like this, unbearably cloying.
Zenin Kiyoshi and Zenin Toji sat in the last two rows of seats on the bus. The smell of fuel when the car started was not particularly pleasant.
"Did something happen that got you away from me?"
In the quiet evening breeze, Zenin Kiyoshi's voice broke the stillness.
When asked about Zenin Kiyoshi's question, Zenin Toji rested his chin on his hand, the evening breeze making his spiky hair a little messy. He squinted, seemingly because the ends of his hair had poked his eyes.
"Why are you suddenly asking me all these strange questions again, you little rascal?"
"Your sleeve is dirty, and there are traces of cursed spirits and bloodstains on it."
Upon hearing this, Zenin Toji subconsciously glanced at his sleeve, but there was nothing there in his sight.
Seemingly sensing Zenin Toji's confusion, Zenin Kiyoshi looked out the window at the scenery and said in a calm voice:
"I am a sorcerer; I can see those things."
"Tsk, sorcerers are all troublesome guys. I forgot you're one of them too."
"So, you really did fight the cursed spirit?"
"Pretty much. She's a tough one. She's been watching us for a long time. Even this time, we only managed to drive her away for a short while. Who knows when she'll be back."
Upon hearing this, Zenin Kiyoshi paused slightly, then continued to ask:
"What kind of guy is he?"
"I don't know, I couldn't see it very clearly, but it was a bastard who poked people with wood."
Upon hearing this news, Zenin Kiyoshi had already guessed the other party's identity.
Since it was Hanami, Zenin Kiyoshi had a better understanding of the situation. For him, Hanami was one of the few cursed spirits he could try to gain favor with.
Jogo is an extreme racist. Tuogen may not have been born yet at this time. The real person was not born, and if he was, he would be a beast. There is no need for communication.
The only one that can be considered a normal cursed spirit is Hanami.
But until he reaches a certain level of strength, he should try to avoid meeting these things as much as possible. It's not worth risking his life for a little bit of goodwill.
Zenin Toji looked at Zenin Kiyoshi's silent expression and a faint look of confusion appeared on his face:
What are you thinking about?

Upon hearing this, Zenin Kiyoshi turned to look at Zenin Toji, glancing at his sleeves which were completely free of wrinkles and bloodstains. He chuckled softly and said:
"It's nothing, I just feel like you're quite susceptible to being scammed."
"ha?"
"Your sleeves are clean, there's nothing on them."
After saying these words, before Zenin Kiyoshi could feel the faint pride of a victor, a sharp pain shot through his head.
"You brat, didn't anyone tell you that some adults with bad character can simply flip over the chessboard when they lose?!"
Zenin Kiyoshi subconsciously touched his head, and when he felt the bulge, he couldn't help but gasp. He looked at Zenin Toji beside him and felt that this bastard's face was much more hateful than before.
And perhaps because his body was still too young, he couldn't control his tear ducts. Even though he didn't want to cry, he felt tears streaming down his face.
Zenin Toji stared blankly at Zenin Kiyoshi, who had never shown such a childlike demeanor before. It was only at this moment that Zenin Toji suddenly remembered something!
This arrogant brat in front of me, although he always puts on an adult act, is ultimately just a kid of about ten years old.
Seeing Zenin Kiyoshi's tears falling in a steady stream, Zenin Toji felt a sudden, indescribable panic in her heart.
The other people on the bus were looking at her with strange eyes, and Zenin Toji, who had never experienced any socialization training, blushed even more.
He was just a young man not even twenty years old at the time, and he felt a little embarrassed by the whispers around him. After all, bullying a child was indeed going too far...
Fortunately, Zenin Kiyoshi wasn't a real brat. The tears he shed were just an automatic bodily reaction. He quickly wiped away his tears, composed himself, and looked out the car window at the scenery.
However, through his slightly red and swollen eyes on the side of his face, it was still very obvious that the boy had just been crying.
Zenin Toji looked at Zenin Kiyoshi's appearance and felt a wave of guilt and shame as an adult. He looked at Zenin Kiyoshi, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start. He could only scratch his head in despair and sit down in his seat.
Ten minutes later, Zenin Toji got off the bus amidst the slightly disdainful gazes of many passengers.
He and Zenin Kiyoshi remained silent as they walked forward.
Zenin Toji looked at the short figure following him and felt unsure how to approach him. He didn't like the atmosphere, but no one had ever taught him how to talk to children, nor had anyone ever loved him during his childhood.
Therefore, he didn't know what to do, let alone how to ease the awkward atmosphere.
However, there was indeed some misunderstanding about this matter. The reason he remained silent at this moment was actually because of the voice that popped into his mind.
"Congratulations, host, you have gained Geto Suguru's favor."
Current favorability: 24/100 (Slightly favorable)
Unlock Ability Panel: Cursed Spirit Manipulation 10% (Based on the host's own situation, the host can directly absorb curses below Grade 2 when signing contracts, but the total amount is limited to 2 curses. When signing a Grade 2 curse, it is necessary to subdue it), Geto Suguru's total cursed energy 10%.
When Geto Suguru's favorability towards the host reaches 40, the next stage of bonus will be unlocked. Please continue your efforts, host.
The moment that voice rang out, Zenin Kiyoshi was actually a little stunned. It seemed that the people in this world of sorcery were all too easy to gain favor with.
Could it really be a reflection of that saying?
People who are most deprived of love will instinctively try to win over and be moved by even the slightest bit of kindness they receive.
He shook his head, but just then, something slightly cool touched his face.
