So, walking through the corridors of the empty factory, at the expense of fired people, he decided to stretch his legs and cross and leave, when he went to cross the street to buy a mountain of sweets at the bakery opposite to drown the sorrows and failure, in addition to take out all his problems that he cannot deal with, all with the help of food and sweets.
That's how he discovered he was a toxic man, he had low self-esteem, he felt threatened by stronger women, one of the reasons he was bossed around by his wife at home.
When he thought about completely forgetting about the people in capes until he passed a group of them near the bakery.
- Unengraved, they are everywhere. – He shouted once again, one of them, looking at the man angrily as if he had grown twenty heads.
Screaming at the top of your lungs.
- DAMN WORLD WITHOUT IDIOT MAGICES. - He said.
Then crossing the street towards the damn bakery and its wonderful fattening sweets.
He himself didn't know how to resolve why he felt so angry, but he suspected, that was why, it was the damn envy, but it made him nervous, so, once again, he was a piece of shit, who couldn't take a punch. without falling like sacks of potatoes, in which these people were still whispering agitatedly, too, but he didn't see any cans, he asked...
- What do you want today? – The attendant asked.
- I want four of everything you have. - He said.
- Are you sure? – The attendant asked.
- Shut up and take my money. - He said.
- I think that...
- Shut up and do what he says. – Another attendant appeared and started putting them in bags.
- Right. – The boy shaking, when the man with all his height said he wanted 4 of everything.
He was taking out his wallet, which he was listening to, and paid by stuffing the wad of bills into the attendant's mouth.
The man came out of there like a rhinoceros, he took a few steps, listening to each one of them, as he passed them, on the way back, carrying a large bag of sweets, ignoring that the boy was coughing behind him on the other side of the counter, while He bought a little bit of everything, to relieve the stress, going out, eating and getting sugary.
In addition to several sugary donuts, cupcakes, dreams, cookies, all of this, with bottles of whipped cream, in which he saw coconut cake, a decorated cake, among other puff pastry and fried dough, all in more than one bag, he overheard some words than he had ice cream in one hand, in which he heard what they were saying.
- You know, the Liang Huang’s, it's true, that's what I heard...
God no... – He thought.
That couldn't be good, he thought that anxiety would increase his hunger, if he got home before dark, he would find his wife with the leftovers from the bakery, he couldn't contain himself, he would eat more , I knew there would be a banquet today.
- God, I'm going to have a heart attack. – He said, pushing food down his throat, without chewing more than twice.
– ... yeah, their son, Hikaru...
Mr. Zhang stopped suddenly as fear invaded him.
He spoke. - Gossip flies fast, my god, how will it be with his wife, when he turned his head
All this, still eating without stopping while he was there to look at the people who were whispering as if he wanted to say something, but thought better of it.
So, he grabbed a 2-liter soda, when he quickly crossed the street, ran to the office, said sharply to the secretary, the last one before thinking about dismissing, when the woman stuttered, that she wouldn't bother him
That's when he grabbed the phone and had almost finished dialling the home number when he changed his mind.
He didn't have the courage to deal with it while he was there with his family's problems, so he put the phone back on the table, where he stroked his walrus whiskers, thinking... no, he was acting like an idiot.
No..., no..., the assessment a little better, he couldn't, magic wasn't his purview, he couldn't, the Liang Huang wasn't a
Even though the name was so unusual, he was sure that there were a lot of people called Liang Huang, shit...
He twirled his moustache, with his hands on his head, holding his black hair...
Who did he want to fool, there weren't many of these people, they are rare surnames, such as a son called Hikaru?
Thinking back, he wasn't even sure what the name was, he tried to go into denial, dancing around the room, remembering Hikaru's name.
He saw the boy last month, the same jade eyes, which glowed in the dark, the birthmark above his right eye in the shape of a cross, he didn't want to forget, that there is a dragonfly birthmark on his left chest, the same birthmark of his wife and his sister-in-law.
He always had to worry about those two, the responsibility, as Mrs. Zhang's older sister, she always got so flustered at the mere mention of her sister, it seemed like she wanted to act like a mother not a sister.
He wouldn't blame her – if he hadn't forgotten that his in-laws died in a huge train accident, leaving the two of them to be looked after by their witch godmother.
If he had a sister like that, he would be worried too, but even so, those people in cloaks...
He found it much more difficult to concentrate on the drills, just shouting at everyone, looking for new services, that afternoon when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he bumped into someone standing there at the door.
– Sorry – He found himself muttering, when the old man staggered and almost fell, it took a few seconds for Mr. Zhang to realize that the old man
He recognized that wizard in question, even if the man hadn't recognized him, it didn't seem like it had bothered him in the first place, unlike him, even though he was almost thrown to the ground, unlike him, in which his face broke into a wide smile and he said in a squeaky voice that made the
Several people passed between them, with worried and even curious looks.
– There is no need to apologize, dear sir, because nothing could
bore me today! Rejoice, because he who walks in darkness is finally gone.
Now, my dear absentees like you should be celebrating such a happy day!
He said, Absent, you damned foolish old wizard as he hugged Mr. Zhang around the waist and walked away.
This confirmed all the concerns, no one finishes a battle unscathed, or the fight of his life, doesn't leave some mark, so Mr. Zhang was nailed to the ground.
Even if he is hugged by a complete stranger, bad-looking, who also thought he was called absentee, whatever that would make him upset, being mistaken for a mere mortal, disgrace of a prejudiced world, now, that had him left more than shaken.
The only thing that made him lose his temper, then, was that he ran to his car and left for home, hoping that he was imagining things, which he had never expected him to do, because he didn't approve of imagination, that problems didn't come on horseback, that the world remained the same and everything was nothing more than a psychiatric attack.
He dreamed that he had not been born into a world of magic, without a hint of magic, that he was an ordinary man, absent normal, that he was just a mad man, but not again, reality was kicking him in the knee , the face-down kneeling in front of the grass of his house, at the feet of his wife.
When he arrived on his street, entered his parking lot, number four, the first thing he saw – and this did not improve his state of mind, he wanted to kill and commit suicide afterwards, was the giant black cat with yellow eyes, in that I noticed that morning.
At that time, he didn't remember many of the animagi, but if it weren't for the cat, a demon, it would be someone his wife knew, but how he wished that at that time it wasn't her family.
So now he needed all of them to take care of their lives.
As he sat on the garden wall, more and more he wanted to be left alone, or in a secluded place, because he did not have the courage to face head-on the problem at hand, which he was sure was the same , with the marks around their eyes they were the same people, otherwise he would end up having to have a conversation about privacy.
- Get out. – He said, contrary to everything he feared, Mr. Zhang said out loud.
The cat didn't move, he seemed to want to talk to him, he just gave him a look that made him retreat, that same look his parents gave him when he ran away and didn't want to assume he was a disappointment, those people who weren't born with an ounce of intelligence magic, the one that said, just a look Yatagarasu.
So, was this normal behavior that everyone directed at him or was it just a normal cat.
Thought Mr. Zhang, who was still determined not to say anything to his wife, Mrs. Zhang had had a normal and pleasant day, I mean if he takes into account that he didn't have a pleasant day, if he thought he would tell her what he learned all of this during dinner, the problems the lady next door had with her daughter and even that Dung had learned a new word (“Never”).
