Amnesiac Gong Zhili transmigrated to a rural village in Japan, acquiring a two-story mansion and a stack of mostly useless land deeds. In the village, she adopted two little girls and began her far...
Chapter 64 What Raid to Play on Sunday
Gojo Satoru was caught red-handed by Ieiri Shoko while eating ramen.
"Why are you adding more food?" Glass asked, then unceremoniously picked up the yam tempura and stuffed it into her mouth. "As expected of Chiri, it's delicious."
Gojo Satoru said dimly, "Because I made her angry."
Gong Zhili: "With your mouth, I will look really weird to outsiders."
Ieiri Shoko laughed and finished the remaining vegetable tempura without leaving any for Gojo Satoru.
"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" she asked. "If there's any heavy labor besides tilling the soil, just arrange it."
Gong Zhili smiled and said, "We've made sufficient preparations for the winter. Now we can think about what to do tomorrow."
Everyone gradually woke up and sat in the living room. They first reprimanded the two people who had secretly eaten snacks, but were very happy to hear that there was no heavy work tomorrow and they could only play.
The children said they wanted to go to the village to play with their friends, and suddenly there was no more worry about taking care of the children, so the rest of the people all agreed to go to the mountains.
"You guys really like going into the mountains," Gong Zhili asked curiously. "Don't you usually go to natural places like this?"
Geto Suguru had his own reasons: "I've never been into the mountains here before."
Gong Zhili thought: "Indeed, the timing of your visits is always unfortunate."
Suguru Geto was definitely going to the mountains, so Miya Chiri suggested, "Why don't we just grab some food and have a picnic in the mountains? I know a place where we can enjoy the red leaves."
Hearing about the red leaves, Tenriko immediately became excited: "I want to see the red leaves! Should we bring a camera?"
They immediately discussed what snacks to bring, and the children heard how excited they were and wanted to follow them.
Tsu Miki: "But we made an appointment with others yesterday to have snacks together."
When there are new snacks in the convenience store, the children in the village will use their pocket money to buy them and try them together. They will discuss whether the snacks are delicious and whether they like them. This activity may seem boring to adults, but the children love it.
Hisahito and Nanako, who also enjoyed this activity, looked hesitant.
Tsu Miki: "If you don't keep your word this time, no one will agree to it next time you make a promise with someone."
Fushiguro Megumi said, "So I'm going."
Only Mimiko was still looking towards Gong Zhili with longing: "Are you really not going to the mountains to play?"
Tsu Miki used her sister power at this time: "No, we have an appointment with someone else first."
Mimiko stood there alone and sighed, and suddenly she understood the intertwined feelings of "envy" and "regret".
After sending the children to the village, the adults also set off.
As they walked along the mountain road, Tennenori couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for us to always come to the village on our holidays? I heard that sorcerers are very busy on a daily basis..."
However, Gojo and Getsuyu, who are serious first-level sorcerers, don't seem to be that anxious.
Gong Zhili has no clear idea about their daily life and work. She has always adhered to the idea of "being responsible for one's own life" and does not ask too much about their lives.
So she just listened quietly.
As Xia Yujie surveyed the mountain scenery, his mood gradually brightened. He said, "We work a lot of overtime from Monday to Friday, and we even go out for training on weekends to improve ourselves. It's quite remarkable."
As soon as Gong Zhili heard it, she knew that this was probably the content written in some report. Although it was not a lie, it was quite different from the facts.
Tenriko was not yet at the level to be able to distinguish such "half-true, half-false" statements. Upon hearing this, she just felt that her predecessors were really amazing and inspiring.
She...just the daily training is very tiring. She comes to the village to practice because of the great rewards and quick recovery. She can also see Zhili and eat delicious food. These are much more enjoyable than just getting beaten in school!
Human beings are probably such creatures, very good at finding the sweetness in the bitter life.
Ieiri Naoko wouldn't expose her companions' words. Haibara completely believed the words of his seniors. Moreover, he himself admired Geto Suguru, and upon hearing his words, he showed anticipation: "When can I be as good as Geto-senpai?"
Nanami Kento: "Everyone has their own technique. It's impossible to do it exactly like Takeyu-senpai."
Haibara Yu: "That's true. Speaking of techniques, Nanami, do you have a feeling of what your technique looks like?"
Nanami Kento pushed his glasses up: "We are exploring."
They were talking about spells, and Miya Chiri took Nozomi to find some persimmons that had not been eaten yet.
"How do we pick them?" Jia Ru asked, looking up. "I've heard that the fruit at the top of the tree is reserved for the birds. Is there something wrong with the fruit that the birds won't eat?"
Gong Zhili also looked up for a moment and said, "We have to see it first to know."
She took off her coat and handed it to Glass: "I'll climb up and take a look."
Before she finished her words, she had already swiftly jumped up. Ieiri Shoko only uttered a single syllable of "wait" before Miya Chiri disappeared from her sight.
Now the few people wandering around quickly gathered together, looked up at Gong Zhili in the tree, and had different reactions.
Riko: "She's so amazing and energetic."
Summer Oil: "Don't we have dried persimmons at home?"
Ieiri replied, "I wanted to see what the persimmon was like."
Gojo was eager to try: "This tree should be able to support two people. I'll climb up and take a look."
Nanami Kento: "Gojo-kun, don't do this."
Haibara: "Nanami, you used a commanding tone just now..." It's not a good idea to say that to a senior.
Geto smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the only way to stop Wu from messing around the fastest - ah, I still failed."
While they were talking, Gojo Satoru had already climbed up without a care in the world. Gong Zhili felt the branches swaying and looked down in silence: "You get down!"
Gojo Satoru refused: "There's room for two people up there. I want to go up and take a look too."
Miya Chiri had already stood on a branch of the persimmon tree. The branch was indeed very strong, and there was no sign of shaking even when Gojo Satoru stood next to her. Miya Chiri reached out to pick the persimmons, and after picking them, she found Gojo Satoru standing there admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Gojo-senpai - how is the scenery up there?" Haibara Yu's voice came from under the tree with excitement, sounding a little distant.
Gojo Satoru didn't answer immediately. He tilted his head slightly, peering through the withered branches of the persimmon tree toward the higher heavens. The late autumn sky was a deep, pale blue. A few wisps of flimsy clouds, pulled by the high winds into extremely thin, long strands, drifted lazily. The sunlight, while not blazing, had a transparent quality, pouring down unhindered, coating the entire valley with a soft golden hue.
His six pale blue eyes reflected everything in front of him without any obstruction. In those eyes, the burning red leaves, the winding mountain streams, the quiet villages, and the high and empty autumn sky were reflected.
"Ha," he laughed a short, hearty laugh, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he shouted towards the tree, "Jie—use the Rainbow Dragon to bring them up!"
Xia Yujie smiled and sighed: "You really know how to exploit people, young master."
Having said that, he still released the Rainbow Dragon, and it rolled the younger generations up to the treetops amid their exclamations.
Haibara Yu: "As expected of you, Senior Gosho. You can even release cursed spirits in the village!"
This speed of cursed power recovery is beyond reach.
Nanami Kento: "Let's not talk about this for now, Senior Getu, are we going to stay in the tree too?"
Geto Xiayou spread his hands and said, "I can't hold on for long, so try your best and step on it."
Gong Zhili: ...Fortunately, this tree is an old tree with many branches.
Several people stood on the tree, some calmly and some cautiously. Suguru Geto also landed briskly beside Miya Chiri. "I see... It's really a beautiful view. It would be a pity to miss it."
Gong Zhili admired the scenery with them for a while, then said with a smile, "Can you release the Rainbow Dragon again?"
Geto Suguru froze.
The cursed energy he just used was the limit of what he had recovered from yesterday to today. It was impossible for him to release it again now.
Ieiri Naoko exclaimed, "Ah!" "So we have to go down by ourselves?"
Tenriko came back to her senses from the shock and emotion of the beautiful scenery, and her expression gradually became terrified: "Huh? Go down by yourself?"
The branch that had seemed solid just now suddenly felt uneasy. She tremblingly grasped the trunk and asked, "So, so...are we going down now?"
Gong Zhili wanted to play a trick on them, but seeing Lizi's tearful expression, she couldn't bear it. She said, "I'll take the girls down, and the boys can figure it out on their own."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the vines that were winding around the ground quickly climbed up the persimmon tree, wrapped tightly around the branches, and the other end flew into her hand.
She moved around the tree, letting Naoko and Riko hug her from either side. She held the vines with one hand and put her other arm around Riko's waist, saying, "If you're scared, just close your eyes."
Riko Tennen quickly closed her eyes, while Naoko Ieiri's expression remained calm. Miya Chiri praised her in her heart: She is indeed a healing type with stable and strong emotions!
Gojo Satoru raised his hand. "Could you lend me the vine after you jump?"
He wants to play too!
Gong Zhili nodded: "After I go down, you can do whatever you want."
She pulled at the vines, kicked the trunk with her feet, and jumped down from the tree!
"Ah--!" Tenriko closed her eyes and couldn't help but let out a short scream, but it was blown away by the cold wind in an instant.
At the moment when the feeling of weightlessness came, Gong Zhili's hands, which had been tightly grasping the vines, suddenly tightened. The dry vines instantly straightened, making a slight "creaking" sound. Bearing the impact of the fall, the bodies of the three people drew an arc in the air.
The crisp mountain breeze of late autumn suddenly rushed into their noses and ears, ruffling their hair and clothes. Naoko narrowed her eyes and subconsciously turned her face towards Miya Chiri's neck, but her arms around her did not loosen at all. Riko closed her eyes tightly, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Gong Zhili tensed his entire body, using the strength of his core waist and abdomen to control the trajectory of the swing, aiming at the golden fallen leaves - that was a good landing point.
The vine's swing arc gradually decreased, and Gong Zhili let go of it at the right time and shouted, "Open your eyes and bend your knees to cushion the impact!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three muffled sounds rang out almost in sequence, accompanied by the crisp "crackling" sounds of dry fallen leaves being trampled and squeezed. The thick fallen leaves acted like a natural cushion, greatly absorbing the impact.
Gong Zhili landed the most steadily and quickly stood up, as if she had just jumped off the stairs; Naoko followed closely behind, and although she staggered a little when she landed, she quickly steadied her body; Riko was a little embarrassed, and she sat down in a thick pile of fallen leaves.
"Hmm!" Riko was still frightened, but she found herself sitting in the soft fallen leaves unharmed, only her heart was beating wildly. She looked up at Miya Chiri and Naoko who were standing in front of her.
Glass brushed off the broken leaves on her body and held out her hand to Riko: "Are you okay?"
Riko grabbed Naoko's hand and stood up. The look of fear on her face hadn't completely faded, but she couldn't help but smile with a hint of excitement and fear: "It's...it's okay! It's so exciting!"
She knew it was going to be fun the moment she hugged Zhili, but the experience was beyond her expectations!
Super! Fun!
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She stood up and wanted to say something, but both Ieiri Shoko and she noticed the movement behind Miya Chiri.
"ha!"
A shadow wrapped in the sound of wind suddenly swooped down from the high branch where Gong Zhili and the others had just jumped! It was moving at an extremely fast speed, heading directly towards Gong Zhili!
"Chiri!" Riko's exclamation and Haibara Yu's gasp sounded at the same time.
Glass's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
The moment the wind approached, Gong Zhili's body instinctively moved before she even thought! Without even looking back, she leaned to the left, trying to dodge in a very short time!
However, Gojo Satoru's speed was astonishing, and his angle was equally tricky. He was able to control the direction of his fall in mid-air, almost brushing against Gong Zhili's shoulder as she tried to dodge.
Bang!
A dull crash sounded in the forest. Gong Zhili was unable to completely avoid it after all. Gojo Satoru's shoulder and chest hit her back hard. The huge impact force made her groan, and she staggered and fell forward.
If there wasn't a pile of fallen leaves in front of her, she would definitely let Gojo Satoru hang in the mountains for a whole day!
The reason why she didn't adjust her balance was obvious. In a flash, she grabbed Gojo Satoru's arm with her backhand, causing him to lose his balance: Don't even think about running away!
The two of them tangled together and fell heavily into a thick pile of fallen leaves. The fallen leaves were like golden waves that were lifted up and fell down again.
Gong Zhili was hit so hard that her breath was choked: it was really heavy to have such a big person pressing on her. Her face was pressed against the fallen leaves, and she could clearly feel the weight on her back, as well as the other person's slightly disordered breathing - obviously, without unlimited protection, her attack had some effect.
Gojo Satoru was in a more disheveled state than she had imagined. He tried his best to control himself from falling completely on Gong Zhili. His arm was a little painful from being hit, and his silver-white hair was covered with debris. One of his legs was awkwardly pressed on Gong Zhili's leg. He subconsciously wanted to support himself with his hands, but he pressed into a pile of soft fallen leaves and almost fell into them again.
The pile of fallen leaves was a mess, with only the breathing sounds of the two people remaining.
It was obvious that he wanted to test Zhili's reaction ability at the beginning, but she outmaneuvered him and put him in such an embarrassing situation.
Glass put down her hands and commented: "Gojo, it's no surprise if you get beaten at any time." She took out a camera from her pocket and took a few pictures very casually.
"Glass!" Gojo and Miya Chiri said at the same time, "What are you filming? Stop filming!"
Tenriko covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open, looking at the two people almost stacked on top of each other, then at Nozomi, completely confused.
Then Geto Suguru slid down from the tree and walked over quickly. Looking at his best friend who was stuck in a pile of fallen leaves in a messy posture, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and finally turned into a sigh full of complex emotions: "Go...you really are..." The rest of the words turned into a helpless shake of the head.
At this time, Gong Zhili, who was pressed underneath, moved.
She didn't explode in anger, nor did she even struggle immediately. She simply turned her head slowly and expressionlessly. A few broken leaves clung to her slightly disheveled temples, and her face was stained with dust, but her eyes were calm as they stared directly at Gojo Satoru, who was lying on top of her and in an equally disheveled state.
"If it happens again, I will kill you," she said.
Gojo Satoru grinned, "I'm looking forward to it."
He supported himself on the ground with one hand and prepared to stand up.
Just when he exerted force with his arms and his body was just a few inches away from Gong Zhili—
Gong Zhili moved!
Her movements were lightning-fast, precise, and deadly! The leg that was pinned down suddenly bent, its knee thrust into Gojo Satoru's side! At the same time, her arm shot out, making a sharp sound as it precisely slammed into Gojo Satoru's unprotected throat!
Pure physical skills, precise, fast, and hitting the vital points!
Gojo Satoru's pupils suddenly shrank, and with his amazing reflexes he tilted his head back, while at the same time his waist and abdomen burst out with powerful strength to try to bounce away, but Gong Zhili's counterattack was too tricky and swift, and he felt a sharp pain in his waist. Gong Zhili's fingers rubbed against the skin of his Adam's apple, leaving a few tiny red marks.
"Ouch!" Gojo Satoru felt pain, his body was pushed to the side, and he completely lost his suppressing position. Miya Chiri turned over like a cheetah, her movements clean and neat, and she even brushed off most of the fallen leaves on her body. She took the camera from Nozomi and took a picture of Gojo Satoru, who looked even more "miserable" at this time.
"I'll use this to threaten you from now on," Gong Zhili said, using what he learned immediately. "Hmm, it looks really good. Strike a few poses and I'll take some pictures."
The situation changed too quickly, and before the others could understand what was happening, Haibara's mouth remained open. He saw that Gojo-senpai's eyes were surprisingly bright. Although he was still lying in the pile of fallen leaves and cooperating with Chiri to take pictures, the smile on his face was so bright that he didn't look like the "loser".
Gojo Satoru felt the hot touch on his neck, and an excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ha... Interesting."
Geto Suguru sighed deeply again, confirmed that Miya Chiri had taken enough pictures, and reached out to pull him up from the pile of fallen leaves: "Serves you right." He commented concisely.
Miya Chiri was already smiling and sharing the photos of Gojo's humiliation with the girls. Haibara Yu and Nanami Kento looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Nanami Kento said, "Gojo-senpai is such a pure person."
A completely unreliable person who is simply bored.

The author has something to say: I encountered something very infuriating today. Someone made a dirty joke and we had a fight. I was angry until 11 o'clock. I didn't want to write anymore, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. This kind of scumbag is not worth my anger, so I wrote so much out of anger. P.S.: I remind you to read the mine clearance again. This book has no combat power.
