Or,

  It was a ritual of gaining the power of demons, sacrificing his body.

  This decision may have helped him to accept the fact that he had already waved his hand on his life.

  However, Minoru expected to win. No, his will led him to an absolute success.

  He couldn't find another way. He knew there was no other way, because he possessed the knowledge of Zhou Gunczinja. And once there are no other ways, there was nothing left but to succeed in this spell. Failure was unacceptable.

  This strong desire was the greatest weapon in the hands of Minoru.

  If it was necessary to simply kill this reasonable form of life, the decisive factor would be the magic technique. For example, such as "Kocit " Miyuki, destroyed combined the body of the parasite.

  But to subdue the sensible form of life, only the magic technique is not enough.

  The enemy was not the same as the Ghost Zhou Gunczinja-The remains of reason, lost their lives.

  It was a living being that has no material form, but possesses the instincts of searching for prey and reproduction.

  To tame it as part of itself, you need the power of the mind, which it will not be able to "chew ".

  To go to this stupid act of Minoru made a blind wish.

  However, his strong will brought him victory at first glance reckless competition.

  "... Obey me, become a part of me! "

  Assimilation with the parasite ended simultaneously with the mental scream of Minoru.

  "... I am kudo minor. "

  "... I hear a voice associated with me. "

  "... He whispers to me, let us become one. "

  "... however. "

  "... I'm me. "

  "... Not "we". "

  Merged with a parasite, minor has remained "Kudo minor ".

  He canceled the magic of cooling previously applied to the physical body and fell on his back.

  Frostbite is instantly healed.

  This ability of healing regeneration was a bonus from becoming a "parasite ".

  He somehow realized that somewhere in the frontal part of the brain formed body, which had not been before.

  But at the moment it had no influence on the consciousness of Minoru.

  He was covered by a laugh. Minoru laughed cheerfully, lying on the floor of the warehouse.

  Chapter 6

  Sunday, June 16, evening.

  When Miyuki, who came to visit mines, was about to leave, another visitor arrived to the House of Mines.

  "Yes, who is there?"

  Miyuki replied to a knock at the door, and, having stopped by hand Izvinjajushhujusja mines, got up from a chair and headed towards the door.

  It's Kudo Minoru.

  -Minoru-kun?

  Miyuki stopped halfway and looked back at the mines. She nodded with a smushhjonnym face. The lips of Miyuki unwittingly floated in a smile.

  Yes, I'll open it now.

  Miyuki opened the door to the chamber.

  Miyuki and Minoru were separated from each other at arm's length, facing each other.

  I wonder, luckily it was, or to the trouble that no one saw this spectacle?

  A girl with a heavenly beauty and a guy with a look of Unhuman beauty.

  Some artist might have signed a parchment about selling his soul to be able to capture this moment on canvas.

  Some poet might have deprived himself of his life from despair without finding words to describe this spectacle.

  -Minoru-kun, welcome. You came to visit Minami-chan?

  Yes. Um, can I come in?

  But for these two, it was just an episode of ordinary everyday life.

  Please.

  Miyuki not lead in Minoru, but went aside, giving way to him.

  Minoru held a floral composition composed of pale pink roses, gerber of the same color and orange carnations. Miyuki thought that it would be better for him to hand it over directly.

  As it was expected, when a minor passed flowers, he reddened cheeks, and he slightly took a glance from the mines. Mine did, taking, completely reddened and bashfullyly lowered her eyes.

  Miyuki would like to watch this scene longer, but changed her mind, deciding that it would be too much.

  "Minoru-kun, thank you. Minami-chan, where do I put them?

  Minor and Minami simultaneously shuddered all over the body. Miyuki struggled to keep laughing.

  "Ah, uh, then, here...

  Miyuki took the composition from the mines and put it on the bedside table on the side, to which she pointed.

  "Uh, is Tatsuya-san here...?

  Minoru suddenly changed the subject, as if he could not endure an awkward atmosphere.

  Ara. Minoru-kun, did you have a case for Tatsuo?

  Miyuki answered immediately. Was it the reason that she regretted the minor, or what was mentioned Tatsuya?

  Probably both.

  -Recently, he went to the doctor, and now, I think, should be back. You got something urgent?

  No, it's not urgent, I just wanted to discuss something.

  Talk to me? "There was a voice from the hallway, on the other side of the left open door.

  "Tatsuya!" Have you finished talking to your doctor?

  Yes. I heard everything I wanted.

  Answering the question Miyuki, Tatsuya entered the room and closed the door. ... Miyuki not closed the door, not because she forgot to do it, and intentionally, thinking that it would be bad to lock the room with a guy and two girls.

  So, Minoru.

  Tatsuya spoke, but interrupted and frowneded his eyebrows when he met with a minor gaze. It seems to have been an unconscious act, and he quickly returned the usual face, and continued to say:

  What did you want to talk to me about?

  When Minoru was asked a suggestive question, he spoke not immediately. No, he just couldn't talk right away.

  — ... On the state of Minami-san. "After all, he said with great difficulty.

  Clear. Let's go someplace else.

  Wait, please!

  Tatsuya rightly behavior of minor suspicious, but it was mine who objected to this decision.

  "Tatsuya--herself, Minoru--herself. If it's about my condition, let me hear that conversation too.

  "But...

  Minoru wanted to object to the request of mines.

  Please! I really want to know!

  — ... All right, Minami-san.

  But in the end, he agreed to the request of mines.

  "Then, should I go out?"

  No.

  Miyuki stood up and turned to Tatsuo, but the answer came at the same time from Minoru and Minami.

  Minor and Minami exchanged views, urging each other to continue.

  — ... I think it'll be good if Miyuki-san hears it, too.

  In the end he continued with Minoru, and the mines nodded silently.

  During this dialogue Tatsuya brought chairs for himself and Minoru from the corner of the room.

  First, let's sit down.

  With a thankful view of Minoru sat on brought Tacuej chair.

  Miyuki returned to the chair at the headboard of the bed, on which she sat before the arrival of Minoru. Tatsuya sat down beside her, and Minoru-on the chair at the other end of the bed.

  Under his views Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami, Minoru spoke with the expression of the face, which remained indecisive.

  — ... I don't know what the doctors say, but the "Rana" mine-san cannot be completely cured.

  It seems that Minoru spoke openly and without concealment, because he had no extra time.

  Most of all his words looked shocked Miyuki. She covered her mouth with both hands, opened her eyes wide and frozeed in this state.

  Mine, at least, did not look shocked when she reacted to words in a minor.

  A Tatsuya...

  — ... Tatsuya-San understood that, didn't he?

  He just looked at a minor with a calm look.

  No. I did not understand, and with the opinion that a complete cure is impossible, too disagree. It seems that what Minoru considers a "complete cure " And what I think is a "complete cure " are different concepts. Minoru, you probably want to say that the magic zone of mine will never recover?

  Tatsuya-san, do you mean that a complete cure is when there will be no further worsening of symptoms?

  That's not true either. But we will not be helped by the struggle for small differences in definitions. What is the real problem you want to solve, Minoru?

  — ... The physical body of an improved person lacks vital stability.

  -The problem of sudden death?

  Yes, that's right. Despite the absence of medical anomalies, one day suddenly death may come, as if a sudden wind will blow the weak flame of the candle.

  Tatsuya noticed that the look of Minoru somber.

  — ... This is the fate that mine-san bears on its shoulders... So am i.

  ...

  How do you know mine is an improved man?

  Such was the complete phrase, the first word of which whispered Miyuki.

  Mine is just a viped look in Minoru.

  -Damage to the magic zone increased the risk of sudden death. Minoru, is that what you mean?

  Yes. Tatsuya-san, you know that?

  "I've been investigating the sudden death of improved people for a long time. Ever since I let the man who was me as a family die from this.

  "That means how...

  Minoru could not decide whether to say the words of condolences, but gave up the idea, because he realized that without knowing the circumstances, he would not be able to express feelings from the heart.

  — The overheating of the area of calculation of magic shook and damaged the information body accompanying the physical body. The damage to the information body has been shown to be material. Usually activity of a zone of calculation of magic occurs in limits in which it is impossible to harm to itself, however at the improved people this "fuse " malfunctions. ... It's my hypothesis, but I think it's the most appropriate.

  "I also think that this theory is correct. I also think that the overheating of the magic Zone is always accompanied by the damage of this "fuse ".

  Do you mean that the damage to the fuse is causing overheating?

  — whether the overheating is caused by the "fuse " damage or the overheating damages the "fuse "-I do not know.

  Unlike the words minor, there was no helpless expression on his face showing a lack of certainty.

  "However, what is the cause and what is the consequence does not matter at the moment.

  Told Minoru without taking his eyes off the Tatsuya.

  The fuse is damaged. That's what's important now.

  This is now a problem. its basis.

  "Isn't that so?"

  -Sure, it is.

  Tatsuya expressed full agreement with the adoption of the minor.

  -Minoru, are you worried that suddenly there may be an unintentional abnormal activation of the magic Zone by mines, as a result of which it can get serious damage?

  Right.

  Minoru nodded to Tatsuo.

  "The current state of Minami-san increases the likelihood that the trouble of the improved people will become a reality. That's my opinion.

  "But didn't you tell me there was no way to restore the magic zone?" Or is there something other than a fuse?

  Minoru did not answer.

  — ... Minoru. You brought a decision with you, didn't you?

  Tatsuya continued to ask. Minoru took eyes to escape from the sight of Tatsuya.

  — ... Yes.

  Even such a short answer he could not tell, looking tatsuo in the eye.

  and? What's that?

  — ......

  Minoru.

  Tatsuya got up from his chair and made half sideways. Not from the bed, but closer to it.

  He stood up so as to close Miyuki and mine.

  "What have you become?"

  Minoru raised a previously omitted look. He looked at the Tacuju, and the edges of his lips rose.

  Tatsuya remembered that smile. It was very similar to grin Zhou Gunczinja, which he saw in Kyoto.

  — ... You could understand that?

  Miyuki up abruptly. She remembered this strange ghostly aura, these floating psion waves emanating from the body of Minoru.

  A parasite!? No way...

  Minami stared at the back of Tatsuya, forgetting about the blinking. In fact, her gaze was glued to Minoru, which was now closed by the body of Tatsuya.

  Please don't worry.

  Minoru Rose and smiled Tatsuo and Miyuki. In this smile there was no longer an image of Zhou Gunczinja.

  "I am a man from the Kudo family who created the parasite dolls. In the family Kudo I am the second magician after Grandpa. I own parasite management techniques.

  It's not that.

  Tatsuya expressed a negation of the words minor. Not realizing the meaning, Minoru inquired about Tacuju.

  You're not "number two." You're the number one Kudo family. Best among wizards with "nine " in surname.

  Completely without a smile, with a serious face and a serious voice answered Tatsuya.

  — ... I am happy. -Minoru, on the contrary, sincerely smiled. -To be recognized tacuej-dignity.

  This retrieves soul of the opponent smile absolutely did not affect the Tacuju. He did not lose his vigilance for a moment.

  Oh, please, don't be so cautious.

  Who here lacked tension, so it is a minor. He had a bewildered face, and his eyes were running round.

  "Becoming a" parasite, "I'm a left. My "i " was not distorted. I don't think I want to attack people or anything. And I am also not tormented by any other desires that I have not had before.

  "However, Kudo Minoru was a man. And the current you are the parasite.

  Is... So, but...

  Minoru made a slightly suffering expression of his face.

  "Despite that, I am me. Even now I am Kudo Minoru. With the right knowledge and strength, you can merge with the parasite and not lose yourself. I was able to prove it to myself.

  Crowded with strong confidence, with determination on his face, Minoru turned to Tatsuo, Miyuki and Minami.

  "You don't have to be afraid to become a" parasite. "

  Minoru. You... "Tatsuya whispered in a quiet, yet clearly distinguishable voice. — ... Do you want to make mine a parasite?

  Miyuki quickly got the CAD out of her purse, which she had in her hands.

  — ... The body "parasite " has a high resistance to psionovym waves.

  In the answer to Minoru, one could see indecision. Perhaps it really was proof that Minoru had not changed.

  "Merged with the parasite, you won't have to worry that the physical body will get hurt, even if the magic zone gets out of control. No, a "parasite " that is closer to magic than wizards--people may not need to worry at all that the Magic zone will get out of control.

  "In this case, you must first ask the opinion of mine itself about it.

  Tatsuya stood motionless between minor and Minami. He overlaps them a review of each other.

  "But this question must go through me as its master.

  To be more precise, the "host " Mine was Miyuki, but in this situation there was no need for such details. What was needed now is the reason for inserting your words.

  I refuse. I don't allow mine to be a parasite.

  Tatsuya-san!?

  Minoru was really astonished. It seems that he was fully convinced that Tatsuya would not object to his idea.

  "But if you keep it that way, Minami-san can meet sudden death at any moment!

  If the problem is in the exit from control of the zone of calculation of magic, that is, and other ways to cope with it, not becoming a "parasite ".

  -but the restoration of the area of calculation of magic is impossible! If it was possible to restore the health of the fuse, I would not offer it from the beginning!

  — When you cannot rely on the "fuse ", if you seal the area of calculation of magic outside, you can not worry that it will get out of control.

  Minoru opened his eyes wide. Poshatnuvshis, and having made two steps back, he finally returned his composure.

  -Tatsuya-san, are you saying that... Take the magic from Minami-san!?

  Minoru couldn't believe it. Take magic from the magician. It's like stealing a magician's sense of existence.

  For a minor whose life was based on being an excellent magician, even to say it was unforgivable.

  ' Cause I want mine to be alive.

  You're going to make her stop being a magician!

  "A person can have a life path not only as a magician. Mine lives more peacefully than an ordinary girl.

  "It is your, not her wish, Tatsuya-san! You have no right to take away the magic of Minami-san!

  Clear. Indeed, my desire is to take away the magic of mine. However, in a minor, your desire as a result will take mine "Humanity ". Do you understand that?

  "Then let him choose Mine-san! It's her life! If Minami-San refuses to become a parasite, I will retreat. Minami-san!

  Tatsuya continued to close mine from sight to Minoru. But regardless, Minoru shouted to mine.

  I don't want you to die! But you don't want to take magic either! Please, become like me!

  On the face of mine was noticeably severe turmoil. She wasn't going to become a "parasite." She could not decide so quickly to discard her humanity. So in this situation she decided to rely on Tacuju, regardless of whether she loses magic or not.

  However, these words in Minoru strongly undermined her thoughts.

  "I have already said, Minoru.

  No sooner had she overcome her indecision, as cold as steel, the voice of Tatsuya answered the words of Minoru.

  I refuse.

  Tatsuya-san, please, step back! Let me talk to Minami-san!

  Minoru fell into a rage. He released Magic in the direction of Tatsuya.

  It was the simplest magic of movement. Her task was to move towards Tacuju, nuisance him to talk to mines. However, there was neither a process of acceleration nor a process of deceleration.

  It instantly broke the target to its maximum speed. It was an obvious attacking magic.

  The reaction of Tatsuya was reflexive but accurate. He laid out a sequence of magic "scattering of the spell".
