Chapter 65 (Please read the ending as a comment) Driftwood

The reason why Kanda Kanon was bound remains a mystery to this day, and what's worse is that she herself is unaware of it.

This was the first time in Gojo Satoru's 28 years of life that he was unable to see through someone's technique, let alone being forcibly restrained by someone.

Not only that, he couldn't even see the circulation of cursed energy when she used the technique, as if her ability was not a technique.

But there is cursed energy in her body and she can use it. First of all, Kanda Kanon is a magician, so there is no problem with that.

So what's the problem?

There is no point in thinking about these things if you can't understand the five points. What is more important now is how he should convey the information to his companions.

He sang a piece of Gojo Satoru by Bbox in front of Nanami Kento, without any shyness or embarrassment. His frankness made Nanami Kento very moved.

How thick-skinned is this man?

"Nanami, actually I was attacked by a cursed spirit before. It's super funny, right?" After thinking for a while, Gojo Satoru spoke again with a smile. This time he talked about something that he had heard in his heart but had already happened.

Sure enough, there was no obstruction and he spoke it out smoothly. Now that he knew this road was accessible, Gojo Satoru understood how to pass on the information.

Nanami Kento narrowed his eyes, realized something, and listened to him carefully.

"That is a smart special-grade cursed spirit. Not only can it communicate normally, but its curse power and spell level are countless times higher than the special-grade ones I have encountered before. Since it can come and attack me, you have to be careful. It may have other companions."

Are you trying to talk about the special cursed spirit named Zhenren?

After being able to hear Kanda Kanon's inner voice, he heard information about the real person countless times, which might be the reason why he will be killed by the real person in the future.

"And there is one very strange thing, which is why that special-grade cursed spirit knew that I would pass by that road." Gojo Satoru's face was no longer smiling, and he continued in a cold voice, "Not many people know about my meeting plan with the principal."

"...Do you suspect that someone is connected to the cursed spirit?" Nanami Kento frowned.

It’s okay to be with the curse master, but no matter what, I will never be with the cursed spirit... No, since he said so, it must be true.

"No, after all, those cursed spirits are intelligent, and they might think they are curse masters. Anyway, no matter what, there is definitely a problem within the curse world."

So what this means is...

"I'll pay attention." Nanami Kento nodded solemnly.

"There's one more thing." Gojo Satoru tickled his eye patch, "It's about Kanon."

Gojo Satoru's tone became very subtle, as if he was distressed and helpless: "That child is very weak, right?"

"...Ah." Nanami Kento's expression also became subtle.

It was indeed the first time he had seen such a weak sorcerer, who was even worse than an ordinary person.

"So, I'd like to ask you to try not to let that child come into contact with danger." Gojo Satoru's tone became heavier, and he raised his voice meaningfully, "You know, she is a special person to us."

touch? special?

Nanami Kento's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what he meant.

Both of them heard her inner voice because of contact. Although bondage is not just about contact, contact should be a necessary condition.

There is a traitor within the world of sorcery, and the real one is about to attack. In order to prevent her technique from being exposed to the enemy, reducing contact with other people is indeed the most direct way.

But……

"Mr. Gojo, forgive me for being too protective." Nanami Kento said in a deep voice, "Everything depends on her wishes."

Protecting her forcefully is not a humanitarian choice.

Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually: "I know, I know. What I mean is that you should be careful not to let dirty things touch her."

"How could I lock her in a birdcage? I'm not such a bad man."

Nanami Kento lowered his eyes and did not respond. Recalling the various behaviors of this man before, no matter how he thought about it -

It’s so bad!

And more importantly...

"I also want to say something about Kanda-san." Nanami Kento pushed up his glasses and said stiffly, "Are you paying too much attention to her, Mr. Gojo?"

"She's still a child, she can't tell what her emotions are, it's okay if she misunderstood, but you..."

Nanami Kento's meaning was very clear. He was certainly not talking about simple concern for her or anything, just simple emotions.

The distance between Gojo Satoru and the girl was too close, beyond the normal distance. This is not a good sign. Not to mention ethics, the girl is obviously pinning her feelings for someone else on him.

Gojo Satoru himself should know this best, so why would he condone it?

Kento Nanami was very worried that uncontrollable situations might occur. Kanda Kanon is a good child, and her appearance has changed the fate of everyone, bringing them more than a little benefit.

Therefore, as a companion, Nanami Kento did not want to see any of them get hurt.

"...What do you think I am?" Gojo Satoru frowned and pouted in grievance. His unserious look made Nanami Kento's face even uglier.

Fortunately, Gojo Satoru finally came to his senses before Nanami Kento exploded.

"Nanaha, even though it wasn't our original intention, in terms of the result, we are no different from using her." Gojo Satoru leaned against the wall. Although his expression couldn't be seen through the blindfold, his voice sounded heavy, "We owe a favor that we will never be able to repay in our lifetime."

Even without him saying it, Nanami Kento knew what this favor was.

Although they were passively bound, they heard their inner voices and learned about the future they were about to encounter. It can be said that Kanda Kanon's existence saved countless people, including them and their companions.

Even the whole world is not an exaggeration.

This is no longer something that can be described as a favor. What Gojo Satoru said about never being able to repay him in his lifetime is not an exaggeration.

but……

"...So what?" Nanami Kento didn't understand what he meant by this, and how it related to what he wanted to say.

"Ha..." Gojo Satoru spread his hands and sighed helplessly, looking like you are really stupid, "So, it's just a small request from her. It would be too cruel to refuse."

"What she asked for is not excessive. She is just very scared. It's like wanting a piece of driftwood to support herself when falling into the water. Why should I refuse such a small wish?" Gojo Satoru is not ignorant. He knows it better than anyone else.

Gojo Satoru has a scale in his heart to measure what should be done and what should not be done.

It goes without saying how scared and uneasy someone like Kanda Kanon would be for suddenly arriving in a strange world, and a world where she is about to enter a dangerous situation.

The first person Kanda Kanon met when she came into this world was Gojo Satoru, and no one knew her initial condition better than Gojo Satoru.

She couldn't even get the most basic sleep, and rather than being killed by a curse or something, she seemed to be dying suddenly.

So Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand and said that if she needed anything, he would be the piece of driftwood.

Gojo Satoru prioritized her condition over whether he was someone's substitute or whether it was the right choice.

If placing this emotion on him could help her regain positive emotions, then Gojo Satoru felt that it was a good choice.

And Kanda Kanon has recently begun to open her heart to them, and is even willing to tell him about the future. Although she used a made-up excuse, Gojo Satoru was still quite happy.

"But I still think this is not advisable. There are many ways to appease her, and taking advantage of her emotions is the most despicable way." Nanami Kento rubbed his swollen and aching temple.

Gojo Satoru's idea makes sense to a certain extent, but Nanami Kento still feels that something is wrong.

"Use?" Gojo Satoru scratched his head. "Does it look like that?"

Nanami Kento nodded silently.

"By the way, why do you make it sound like something is going to happen between me and her?" Gojo Satoru thought distressedly, wondering what kind of image he had in Nanami Kento's eyes.

The feelings she placed on him were not something superficial like love. If she really had to describe it, it would be something like trust and reliance.

It was as if the existence of Gojo Satoru would give her infinite sense of security.

This experience is quite novel.

"Forget it, don't worry. What you think won't happen." Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually and walked forward slowly with his long legs.

...That would be great if that's the case, Nanami Kento thought.

"By the way." Gojo Satoru suddenly stopped, turned his head and grinned, "If I were ten years younger, I might date her~"

Having said that, he quickly slipped away.

It's like a joke.

...Sure enough, this guy is a piece of shit. Nanami Kento's face twisted for a moment.

A month passed in a flash, and Kanda Kanon waited quietly.

September 2018, a Monday.

Tokyo in September is no longer so hot and the temperature is now comfortable. Today is a rainy day, and Kanda Kanon doesn't like rainy days. The humid air and low pressure make her feel uncomfortable.

But in such weather, Kanda Kanon had to go out, because today was...

Holding a red umbrella, Kanda Kanon walked to the entrance of high school.

"Good morning." When Yuji Itadori saw her coming, he waved with a smile.

[It’s great, you don’t know anything and you don’t have any worries…]

"Good morning..." Kanda Kanon's voice lost its usual vitality and sounded a little listless.

Following Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji into the car, she huddled in the back seat without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Yuji Itadori was a little worried.

“No…” Hiding the lower half of her face into her collar, Kanda Kanon shook her head, “I’m just a little sleepy.”

Looking at the girl closing her eyes and resting, Yuji Itadori did not say anything else.

Nanami Kento, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror but said nothing. Yidizhi silently drove the car more steadily.

At 10:30 in the morning, the three stood in front of a movie theater in Kawasaki Prefecture.

It was raining quite heavily outside, but there were many people gathered nearby. The entrance to the cinema was surrounded by several cordons, and there were several police cars on the road with warning lights flashing.

That’s right, today is the day when the Yoshino Junpei incident begins. They were sent here to investigate after three bodies with horrific appearances were found in the cinema.

Holding a red umbrella, the dripping sound in her ears made Kanda Kanon feel a little irritated.

The reason why she is like this is not because of anything else, but because of a certain man.

That’s right, it’s that unreliable and unscrupulous teacher.

[It’s already this late, where has this man gone? 】

Kanda Kanon gritted her teeth, and her pretty face was distorted terribly.

【Author’s words】

After reading everyone's opinions, the love line with 285 will not appear in the main text, but there may be an if line in the extra story.

If you want to scold someone, just scold me. Don’t quarrel over this matter and don’t attack others. Everyone likes different things, but after all, people watch it to relax. I was the only one who was wrong for changing the outline midway.

As for whether there is Kanon in other worlds, I can say for sure that Kanon will be the only special existence.

I won’t write that Satoru in other worlds has his own Kanon. Personally, I think love is not necessary for Satoru. If she only wants to change her predetermined fate, Hanane will be like a tool, and I personally don't want that.

Maybe it would be better if this article was finished earlier. But now that I have written this, I will try my best to make this article more interesting. Thank you for your support!
