Chapter 142 Everyone has something they are not good at
Suze opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Xia Youjie sat in the passenger seat, propped up his head and looked out the window.
Su Ze glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car. Glass was sitting in the middle, holding a little one in each hand. They closed their eyes and leaned against her, sleeping soundly.
The road on the mountain is rugged and difficult to walk on, and it is dark at night.
As early as when they came down the mountain, the two exhausted little ones fell asleep in Su Ze's arms.
"Can you hold one for me?" Su Ze spoke to Xia Youjie.
"...Okay." Xia Youjie took the child with light brown hair.
——She was the one who spoke up to defend herself just now.
——Very brave.
"Glass and I were on a mission in Hokkaido and were planning to go back, but then we heard that you were here too." Su Ze said softly.
Glass walked behind the two of them and quietly lit a cigarette.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and Xia Youjie's shoulders were uneven.
"——I asked for a position from the general directorate, and then hurried over here." Su Ze continued.
Xia Youjie carried the girl on his back and stared at the downhill road in front of him.
Su Ze glanced at him, closed his eyes and sighed. Xiaozi put her cigarette in her pocket and smoked quietly. She deliberately walked at the end to avoid the smoke drifting to the two of them.
It was a little chilly in the mountains near October, and since it was night, you could even exhale a light white mist.
The little one behind me pressed a little closer to me, and I felt a little warmth from behind.

Su Ze started the car, and the slight vibration of the engine broke the silence in the car.
Su Ze just asked Xia Youjie how he would handle the matter if he and Gao Xingzi had not come.
——To be honest, Geto Suguru himself doesn’t know either.
He was standing at the intersection and could take any turn.
The car drove from the foot of the mountain to the small town in the distance. The mountain road was winding and had many tunnels.
The yellowish lights in the tunnel occasionally illuminated the interior of the car. Glass leaned back in the chair, holding the two little hands, breathing lightly and evenly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Xia Youjie still tilted his head to look out the car window. The lights in the tunnel reflected his face on the glass. He looked at the pair of narrow eyes in the glass, feeling a little confused.
The car drove away. The ground was a little wet after the rain, and the friction between the tires and the ground was very loud.

2007 9 Month 28 Day.
It has been four days since that incident.
Kawasaki Hotel.
Room 203.
"Master Geto, can you help me braid my hair?" The girl with blond hair was very excited and moved to the bedside with a pink hairband with a small Hello Kitty on it.
"I want one too! Lord Geto, can you help me comb my hair?" The girl with short black hair came closer from the other side, holding the patched doll.
"Okay... don't be impatient, come one by one..." Xia Youjie, wearing a loose sweatshirt, smiled helplessly and rubbed their heads gently.
"But why don't you go find Ze? He should be willing to play with you..." He was a little confused.
"Lord Su Ze looks so fierce..." The girl with short black hair hugged the doll tighter and muttered softly with her head down.
She always remembered that night when Su Ze frightened the village chief so much that his legs trembled and he sat down on the ground as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mimiko, how can you say that!" The girl with long light brown hair accused her, "Lord Suze is also our savior! And he was the one who sewed your Sunny Day doll for you—"
Although the doll in Mimiko's hand was old, it was clean and the new stitches were very delicate.
"Wow... I'm sorry, Nanako..." Mimiko was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
"But, Lord Xiayou, Lord Suze's hair-tying skills are really terrible--" Mimiko looked up and complained while pulling Xiayou Jie's clothes.
"He messed up my hair the day before yesterday! And it hurt so much when he pulled it--" She pouted unhappily.
"That's it..."
Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows halfway and smiled even more helplessly.
"You can't blame Ze for this..." He took the comb, sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered to excuse his best friend.
——He probably never had braids... Besides, Glass has short hair.
If her hair grows longer, maybe Ze will be able to do it?
——Isn’t it because I have long hair that I can braid my hair?
He gently combed the two little ones' hair.
Mimiko and Nanako knelt on the bed, squinting their eyes and enjoying themselves, snoring comfortably.
On the sofa next to him, Master Su was seriously injured after being hit repeatedly.
"Nano... was the way I styled my hair that day really that bad?" He looked aggrieved and turned to look at Nizo with tears in his eyes.
"Hmm..." Glass, who was eating candy at the side, looked around.
——How can I say it without hurting Ze and at the same time tell him tactfully that it’s really not a good idea?
Miss Glass frowned slightly, feeling a little troubled for a moment.
"...Ze, do you want to have some candy?" After a long time, Miss Glass finally spoke hesitantly.
"Woo——"
Classmate Su Ze was heartbroken. He took the candy from Nishiko's hand with trembling hands, then lowered his head and looked sad.
——It failed.
Miss Glass sighed softly in her heart, moved closer to Su Ze, and patted his back gently.
"It doesn't matter. You haven't tried it before. If you really want to learn, I'll just grow my hair long~"
She comforted softly.
----
Geto Xiayou walked towards the cubicle.
"Are Nanako and Mimiko asleep?" Su Ze was sitting at a small table with a pile of documents spread out on it and a full stack of documents in the brown paper bag next to him.
"Yeah. I fell asleep after playing tired." Xia Youjie's eyes were a little evasive. He rubbed his neck, "They are very... cautious. Even when they were acting coquettishly, they were secretly observing my expression..."
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of life they lived before.
Glass sat next to Su Ze with her legs crossed.
"...Is that so?" Su Ze didn't seem surprised.
"So...what is the final solution to that matter?" Xia Youjie waved away the images in his mind and looked at Su Ze.
"The curse is a gimmick." Su Ze sorted the documents on the table without looking up. "All the things related to the curse are only about the village chief's grandson. He had evil intentions towards Mimiko, so Nanako used the spell in a hurry."
It can be seen that the elder sister Nanako is obviously more outgoing and mature. Even in the wooden fence, she has the courage to scold the village chief's wife.
Su Ze took another file and continued, "Also, the two level 4 residual cursed spirits you exterminated at the entrance of the village... might be their parents."
Xia Youjie roughly guessed this, because when they were in the warehouse, the two remnant cursed spirits were actually somewhat out of his control, and he could barely distinguish from the hoarse and dull voices -
They say "It's okay".
"...鞥." Xia Yujie lowered his head and responded.
