Chapter 122 The villain is also very dedicated
"Nose should have told you, old woman, I am also a sorcerer—" Ienari Nakazu still had a kind look on his face.
"Yes." Su Ze nodded. "The conditions of the older generation of magicians were not as good as they are today. I'm sure the old lady didn't have a smooth journey..."
"Haha, you are neither humble nor arrogant." Ieiri Nawa said with a smile, "I have been poor for half my life, and I can only barely get the title of a second-level magician. It is precisely because of this that I understand the bitterness and hardship..."
——Nose also told him this in advance.
She continued to chatter: "As for the younger generation, they have no chance of doing this—"
The "dolls" that Naoki Ieiri mentioned should refer to Akihito Ieiri and his siblings.
Su Ze guessed what she was going to say, but remained silent.
"Except... Nitro."
Nawa Ieirawa waved her hand and dismissed the servants on both sides of the room, leaving only the maid who had been serving her.
"The "reversal technique", or the external output type... I'm afraid it hasn't appeared in thousands of years, right?"
There was a gleam of light in Nawa Ieiri's old eyes.
"...Yes." Su Ze closed his eyes and sighed.
"If the world of spellcasting is still the same as it was when I was young, is this girl being coveted by all parties?"
Nawa Ieirō stared at him closely, and Suze raised his eyes to meet her gaze, neither dodging nor avoiding.
"Yes."
He answered calmly.
"Until now, we still don't think that Nazko should go to Tokyo High School and become a sorcerer."
"I can see it."
"But she went anyway—after having a big quarrel with the old woman."
"…You have your own difficulties."
"Although it may not be very reasonable to say this, just think of it as an old woman making trouble—" Ienari Nawa looked calm and spoke in an earnest tone.
"When Naoko was six years old, she mastered the 'reversal technique', but apart from the people present, only their parents knew about it." Naoki Ieiri's voice was a little hoarse and her tone was gentle.
Su Ze heard old stories that Gao Zi had never mentioned before.
Glass didn't say anything and didn't respond, he just drank his beer.
And I've already opened the third can.
Ieiri Nawa said to herself: "I don't claim to have protected this girl very well... but I can still pat my chest and say "I tried my best" -"
"Later, we had a big fight about the future. The girl went to a technical college on her own. It was her first time away from home."
Su Ze straightened his back slightly and prepared his answer.
"We protected her for the first sixteen years in our own way—" Ieiruna's tone became more serious.
She placed her hands on her knees, revealing her skinny wrists under her loose kimono, and wrinkles covered every inch of exposed skin.
"——Can I entrust her future life to you?"
This is the most sincere love an old man has for his descendants.
The room was silent, and all family members sat upright with solemn expressions.
Su Ze was finally set up - but the development was definitely unexpected.
The other party is not trying to hinder the relationship between him and Nozomi, nor is he trying to break up the couple under the pretext of so-called justice... Nawa Ieiri and the other members of Ieiri just want a "promise" from Su Ze whose authenticity cannot even be proven.
——A light "promise" that no one can tell whether it is true or false.
"I'm sorry, I can't say 'It's absolutely okay' -"
Su Ze raised his eyes and looked straight ahead.
The atmosphere in the venue was a bit weird, and Akihito Ieiri frowned even more.
"I can only promise that I will do my best to protect Nitro."
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"……puff."
A woman's chuckle.
"You are so naive that you don't even want to say a nice word. Don't you know that women are most susceptible to this?"
Haruko Ieiri's teasing voice interrupted, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Ieiruna didn't say anything and showed no obvious emotion.
"Su Ze, the so-called 'guarantee' is nothing but a castle in the air. After all, no one can predict what the 'future' will be like—"
Ieiri Akihito spoke up.
He pushed his glasses down slightly and spoke in a low tone.
"…But you're not even willing to say this, how can I trust you?"
He sat up straight and looked down at Su Ze.
Su Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "I wonder what Mr. Jia Ru thinks is trustworthy?"
——He finally got it.
Akihito Ieiri's expression changed slightly.
"...Brother, after dinner, you'd better hide somewhere secret."
Xianzi smashed the beer can in his hand lightly and some beer spilled out with foam.
"What a waste..." Miss Haruko, who was next to Akihito Ieiri, sighed with regret.
She stared at the spilled beer.
Akihito Ieiri's body stiffened slightly for a moment, and his expression seemed to turn a little ugly.
He said calmly with a gloomy face: "Simple, have a match with Mu San. I don't ask you to win by a large margin, just not lose."
Ieiri Akihito raised his hand and pointed at the man in front of the independent desk.
"Akihito, isn't that too much? San'er has followed you for ten years, and he has been doing a life-threatening job--" Haruko Ieiri grinned in dissatisfaction, trying to stop this ridiculous competition.
Akihito Ieiri kept a calm expression and didn't pay much attention.
As for Mu San, who was sitting at an independent desk, he stopped eating for a long time because of the serious atmosphere just now - and he was hungry at the moment.
The situation finally eased a little, but the topic was brought back to himself - he didn't know whether to put the hand holding the chopsticks down or raise it.
He scratched the back of his bald head and decided not to get involved in his boss's family affairs.
Nakajiro Ieiri still had his eyes closed and did not stop the younger generations from making trouble.
"no problem."
Su Ze's voice suddenly sounded.
During the argument, the two of them looked at him in silence.
Akihito Ieiri still looked serious as he stared at Su Ze.
"——No problem." Su Ze repeated it again, looking calm.
"...You're smarter than I thought." Akihito Ieiri whispered without any context.
Su Ze seemed not to have heard it. He stood up first and walked towards the open space behind the long table.
As for Mu San who was called out, he looked even more helpless and pitiful - he rubbed his stomach, stood up and walked towards the open space in the house with grievance.
Then he stood opposite Su Ze, keeping a distance of five meters between them.
Su Ze moved his feet a little further away and took a horse stance.
The jade-white Qi threads instantly lingered around him.
Mu San took a Muay Thai boxing stance, his face looked fierce but not evil. The light reflected on his bald head, even brighter than the incandescent light in the room...
He jumped back and forth slightly, ready to fight at any time. The dejected look just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Su Ze closed his eyes gently, slowly drew a circle with his hands, and the air in front of him created ripples.
Mu San frowned and looked closely at the young man in front of him.
On the long table.
"Brother, you are playing this trick again--"
Ieiri Akihito's hand holding the tea trembled violently, and he forced himself to drink the cup with a gloomy face.
