Looking at Isabella who seemed to be sleeping on the hospital bed, that scene made Fushiguro feel even more irritated about his own weakness, and he felt full of guilt for her.

Fortunately, recently, Fushiguro learned about Isabella's discharge from the hospital. But along with this good news comes the bad news that Teacher Campbell, who once took care of him like his sister, has lost his memory.

It was precisely because Fushiguro Megumi realized that "the kind sister was cursed" and realized that the world is unfair and that someone needs to give kind people more chances to survive that she finally accepted that she was about to become a curse. The fate of the teacher.

But even if he became a magician, he found that he still could not save all those kind people with his own strength.

"Teacher Campbell, do you remember anything?"

Being able to spare some spare time and come to visit Teacher Campbell at her home, Fushiguro was prepared from the beginning that she would not recognize him at all.

As long as he confirmed that she was still safe, he was satisfied, but he didn't expect that she would call out his name as soon as he opened the door. This made Fushiguro a little confused, but more of a surprise.

"Ah haha... not yet." Isabella smiled sheepishly, and then said: "But I got to know each other again yesterday, at least now we still know each other."

"is that so...."

"Did Fushiguro-san come here specifically to visit me this time?"

Fushiguro scratched his cheek and hesitated in his tone.

"Ah...this...um."

The boy took out a paper bag from his back and said, "Kikyufu, a specialty of Sendai."

"Thank you~"

Seeing that Isabella had already accepted the gift, Fushiguro planned to leave like this.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Hey, Fushiguro-san, is there anything else urgent?"

"Um."

"...Really?"

Unconsciously looking into Isabella's jewel-like blue eyes, Fushiguro was speechless for a time.

When I was a child, I came to visit after fighting with other children.

His sister would also stare at him like this.

It was like a gaze that could touch the soul, and there was no possibility of lying under the gaze of these eyes.

"Yeah, it's not that busy...today."

A minute later, Megumi Fushiguro, who was waiting for Isabella to make tea at the coffee table in the living room, was restless, as if the stool under her butt had thorns, and her lips were pursed tightly.

"You've been waiting for a long time~ The sweet snacks should be eaten with tea."

The kijufu he brought has been opened and placed on the plate, along with two steaming cups of new tea.

"thanks for treatment."

Fushiguro held the tea cup with his stiff hands, and the indescribable faint fragrance and the refreshing smell of tea entwined into the tip of his nose. That delicious fragrance came from Isabella in front of him.

"Is it hot in the room? Fushiguro-san, there's sweat all over your forehead."

"A bit..."

"Should you turn on the air conditioner?"

"No need to bother, Mr. Campbell!"

drop.

Cold air blew out from the hinges of the air conditioner. Even though Fushiguro said so, Isabella turned on the air conditioner for him and closed the window.

The summer heat brought in from outside was finally dissipated by the cold wind, and after spending a long time in the dark squeezing the subway here, I could finally cool off a little.

The subsequent conversation between the two was limited to Isabella asking Fushiguro some daily questions in school. When Isabella asked, Fushiguro would answer. When Isabella didn't ask, there was only silence.

Isabella ate all the hijufu on the table. Girls really couldn't resist such sweet snacks.

The second cup of tea had also bottomed out, and it was only now, when the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated, that Fushiguro took the initiative to ask Isabella her first question.

"Teacher Campbell, will you give us lessons again?"

"It's not clear when I will be able to teach you again, but I have recently begun to prepare teaching content. After all, I can't do nothing all the time when I am at home."

"I heard that you and Director Nitta went on an emergency mission before."

"Ah, that." Isabella understood and smiled: "It's just that there was a shortage of manpower at the time, and the only conjurer who could be dispatched was me..."

"Can you still fight? You're not injured, right?"

"Well, it's clean and tidy, don't worry."

"That's good...."

Fushiguro seemed to be relieved, but then he thought that Mr. Campbell was a stronger first-level conjurer than him, and he realized that his concern was a bit unnecessary.

"Fushiguro-san seems to care about your teacher very much."

"Um...ah, no, no!" Fushiguro nodded and immediately denied it, but immediately realized that it would be even more rude to say so, and immediately scratched his head with a stiff expression.

"I mean...yes, I care about your health, Mr. Campbell. After all...it's because of me -"

Isabella shook her head, "Although I don't remember what happened, it's definitely not Fushiguro-san's fault."

She slowed her tone and continued: "My power is more used to protect the people around me. As long as they are safe, every battle is a victory that I can recognize, so... thank you for coming to visit." I, Fushiguro-san, am very happy.”

"This is nothing compared to your efforts." Fushiguro sat with his hands on his knees and bowed to Isabella solemnly.

"Fushiguro-san is only 16 years old this year, he seems to be more mature than the one in my family...ah~ I'm talking about etiquette!"

Fushiguro's eyes naturally turned to the ring on Isabella's left hand.

"Mr. Campbell, you are really married. I didn't even notice before..."

"Well, yes. If you see him, you will know that he is no different from a child sometimes. He always looks carefree. But when he is serious, he is very handsome."

When Isabella talked about Cheng Rang, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and there was even light in her eyes.

Fushiguro was also sincerely happy that Isabella had found her happiness in this way. He thought, if his sister was still awake... would she be able to find someone who loves her like this.

.......

The conversation was almost finished, Fushiguro looked at the time and prepared to leave.

"Then it's getting late. It's time for me to go back. I hope you can recover as soon as possible."

"Okay, study hard in school, strive to become stronger, and save more kind people like you said, come on!"

Isabella clenched her fists to encourage the boy.

Seeing Isabella's appearance, Fushiguro couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"Um."

But when Fushiguro put on his shoes again and opened the apartment door, he found Cheng Rang standing at the door, raising his hand to ring the doorbell.

"Uh! Cheng...doctor?" After thinking for a long time, Fushiguro could only call the man in front of him this way.

"Fushiguro?"

Cheng Rang quickly lowered his head and looked at the address written on the piece of paper in his hand, "Ah, did I go to the wrong place?"

After checking, he found that he was not wrong, so the expression on Cheng Rang's face tightened a little, and he immediately raised his head to look at the young man in front of him.

"I said, Fushiguro-san, can you explain why you walked out of my wife's house with a smile on your face?"

Fushiguro's facial muscles pulled hard, and the whole

The expression on Zhang's face darkened very quickly.

"Who is laughing? Hey!"

Cheng Rang directly retreated tactically.

"I didn't expect you, Fushiguro, who looks so honest with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could do such a thing!?"

"Don't call visiting patients so weird. I'm just here to visit Mr. Campbell!"

Chapter 20 Does second-hand luck work?

This was not a misunderstanding, but it was actually just Cheng Rang's joke, but only Fushihei took it seriously.

"Hahahaha, it was really funny how that guy Fushiguro solemnly emphasized that he didn't care about you at all!" Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Rang clapped his legs and laughed.

His arrival also surprised Isabella.

Fushiguro, who was blocked back to the apartment by Cheng Rang, now stood in the corner of the living room like a giant glowing light bulb, facing the teasing of his beloved teacher Campbell and her husband.

What is a public execution?

While worrying that he had forgotten to look for auspicious days when he went out today, Fushiguro lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

Teacher Campbell was absolutely right. Dr. Cheng is really childish. He is so grown up and he still looks so noisy. Don’t you know how to be more careful?

It seems that Cheng Rang's character is closer to Gojo Satoru in Fushiguro's eyes.

[This guy might be stronger than me. 】

Paying attention to what Gojo Satoru said to him, Fushiguro Megumi still can't understand it and can't see through it.

The only question that has been definitely resolved is that Cheng Rang and Teacher Campbell are really husband and wife, and their relationship is still very good.

Under self-hypnosis, instead of being put here to eat dog food, Fushiguro could simply put Isabella into the role of his sister, which would make him a little more relieved.

.....

Just as Cheng Rang asked how Isabella was doing, the phone rang nearby.

Fushiguro silently took out his cell phone from his pocket, said sorry and took advantage of the opportunity to leave.

The caller was Teacher Gojo. While the boy lamented the timeliness of this life-saving call, he also felt that something more troublesome might happen to him.

"This is Fushiguro."

The soundproofing effect of the apartment door was not very good. Standing at the door, Fushiguro could still hear the laughter and affection between the two people inside, so he walked away silently.

"..."

"Teacher Gojo, are you sure?" Fushiguro looked a little surprised, and then agreed: "Yes, I understand. I happened to come over today to visit Teacher Campbell, and I will tell her."

"Well, yes, Dr. Cheng is also here..."

Gojo Satoru said something else on the other side of the phone, and Fushiguro's eyes widened.

"Huh? Call us together?! This -"

But when Fushiguro wanted to say something more, the phone had been hung up, and only a beeping busy tone came from the receiver, making the young man holding the phone stiff.

"Are you kidding... Being a teacher means you have some responsibility."

Although Fushiguro seemed to be complaining when he said this, there was only the word "expectation" in his tone.

Teacher Gojo's phone call probably meant that he was leaving tomorrow to pick up the first-year student, his third classmate.

However, because he was temporarily unavailable, as the head teacher of first-year students, he decided to temporarily entrust his "trainee teacher" to pick up the new students on his behalf.

There is currently only one first-year intern teacher in the entire Tokyo Conjuration High School, and that is Isabella Campbell.

By the way, the strength test was also completed. Gojo Satoru said that he trusted Isabella's ability. There should be no doubt about this, so he told himself not to worry.

Fushiguro thought that Mr. Campbell would return to school one day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon...

When he rang the doorbell of Campbell's apartment again, Cheng Rang seemed to know the purpose of Fushihei's trip.

Because when Cheng Rang took the initiative to come to Isabella's "home" here to meet her.

The system's partner task... has not been completed.

[Partner Mission 1: Meet your partner "Isabella Campbell" at the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic. (undone)】

Fushiguro stood at the door and held up his mobile phone. He politely did not look past Cheng Rang's body and looked into the room. He just said in a notification tone: "Please help tell Teacher Campbell that she will need to pick up the third student with us as a trainee teacher tomorrow." When first-year students enter the school, they will be given a strength assessment test."

"Where's Satori?"

The corner of Fushiguro's mouth twitched, wondering when the two of you became familiar enough to call each other by name, and said helplessly: "He had something to do at the last minute, so he left it to me, tsk..."

Cheng Rang nodded and smiled: "Okay, I understand. See you tomorrow, Fushiguro-san~"
