Chapter 27, Page 26

Gojo Satoru is very busy.

The scarcity of sorcerers meant he took on the vast majority of exorcism tasks. Getting up in the middle of the night to carry out emergency missions was also commonplace. Interestingly, unless he overslept, Airi's three meals a day were never delayed.

Speaking of which... Gojo Satoru said last time that he approved taking her out on missions.

Airi Matsuzaka squatted on the sofa, swinging back and forth, pondering how to maximize her benefits and gain the most advantages during the mission.

Has he forgotten about it? There's absolutely no indication that he intends to take her on the mission.

...

She's even put on her combat uniform, ready to go into battle and wreak havoc at any time.

Airi Matsuzaka tilted her head to look at the man sitting leisurely with his legs crossed at the other end of the sofa, and really wanted to throw him out.

He was very perceptive of eye contact; the moment Airi Matsuzaka tilted her head, he turned around. "Are you mesmerized?"

...

Ignoring her frustration, Airi Matsuzaka put her legs down on the floor, no longer in the mood to watch TV or eat grapes.

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then reached out his sinful hand towards the grape bowl on the coffee table—

[Slap]

With lightning-fast reflexes, Gojo Satoru caught Airi's merciless slap with his own hand, but at the same time, Airi hooked one of her fingers around the rim of the bowl, keeping it away from where he could reach it.

?

I bought it, so I can't eat it?

If you don't eat, then I can't eat either?

Are you a crab? Running rampant in my house.

"Can't I eat grapes?" Not even one? Gojo Satoru's smile remained unchanged, but his tone skillfully became pitiful. He was good at feigning, just like Matsuzaka Ai.

The only difference between the two is that the former pretends, while the latter is willing to give anything. Pretending, however, yields no benefit and might even result in a beating.

Airi Matsuzaka pushed a Kikufuku pastry towards him, demonstrating with her actions that he really couldn't eat it.

He propped his chin up and tilted his head to watch Airi place the bowl of grapes next to her, then let out a soft "hmm" and noticed that she was wearing finger cots.

finger cots...

Airi changed into her combat uniform?

Ah, it's that super sexy combat suit. No wonder I didn't notice it when it was on...

Wait, why is Airi changing into her combat uniform?

"Wild Rose and Maki are still on a mission."

"Know."

That……

"Tight-fitting clothing is prohibited."

"Know."

Um? ? ?

"I won't fight with Airi, okay?" Gojo Satoru slowly opened the Kikufuku and ate it, his voice casual and incoherent.

"……Know."

Huh? Then why...?

"Why?" After swallowing the food in his mouth, Gojo Satoru took off his shoes, crossed his legs, and turned to face Airi, seemingly wanting to have a conversation.

"Airi didn't change into her combat uniform when training the students, did she?"

He wouldn't allow it to be changed.

She said it was fine to just play casually and there was no need to take it seriously, so she didn't change it.

It would take her a long time to put on that outfit by herself. She had to distribute the hidden weapons properly on her limbs, and she needed to use a lot of hidden buckles and straps.

So today she only changed her top, not her pants.

It feels like half of the arsenal is missing...

So Gojo Satoru forgot about his promise to take her on a mission.

Does staying up too late cause memory decline?

It's really no good; please disappear from the world as soon as possible.

"Task."

Airi Matsuzaka pointed to herself.

He suddenly realized.

"Is Airi worried that I might get hurt during the mission?"

...

I would be so happy if you died.

The pretty girl lowered her hands to her knees, turned her head away, and gave a light scoff.

It was full of sarcasm.

? ?

Where did you learn that?

“Airi, a good girl doesn’t talk trash, and she doesn’t…” He looked down at Airi, who was sitting on her legs, which were crossed over him, with an ambiguous expression on her face.

If her legs weren't too short, she could have stepped on his chest, and even wanted to step on his face.

He was too weak; the force he applied was negligible, so he let Airi's provocation go unchecked.

Damn it! I don't want to be weak, but I want to smash someone into the ground with one blow! Satoru Gojo! Smash him into the ground to plant rice seedlings!

In a fit of anger, she kicked his leg twice, then he grabbed her ankle and began to playfully knead it. A strange tingling sensation shot from the skin under his fingers to the top of her head.

!!

Airi Matsuzaka jolted, pulling back her leg that was about to kick a couple more times. Panicked and confused, she frantically rubbed the skin that Gojo Satoru had been massaging. How strange, why was there a numb feeling… She pressed her fingers against the skin, trying to use pain to mask the strange sensation that had made her lose control.

This has never happened before...

What exactly did he do?

The expression of him curling up in fright, head down, trying to think hard, is really cute.

What is Airi thinking?

Are you thinking about how you felt when you were touched?

He had a serious expression on his face, as if facing a formidable enemy.

So cute! I want to kiss, hug, and lift Airi up high!

Airi.

Airi Matsuzaka moved back a little and pulled her feet back.

Tsk, what a pity.

Gojo Satoru felt a pang of regret and withdrew his hand. He wanted to see what kind of different expression Airi would show next...

"Are you going on a mission with me?"

Yeah, that's obvious.

"Sigh—is Airi really that inseparable from me? She's so clingy~"

Matsuzaka Ai wanted to kick him, but then, remembering the tingling sensation on her scalp, she reluctantly pulled her outstretched foot back.

Here we go again, it's an insult to her eyes.

What a hell she's going through! Someone please come and save her, or at least send a brave soul to behead Gojo Satoru.

At worst, we could sew his mouth shut.

It kept chattering and making noise all day long.

What should she say?

Can't live without him?

Even though he died, Airi Matsuzaka was so happy she wanted to blow up his room and set off fireworks.

Saying she's clingy?

If you open a gap in the barrier of the higher vocational college, she can hide from Wu Tiaowu and run wild for the rest of her life.

He can eat anything except grapes, but he can't say anything carelessly.

Airi Matsuzaka felt that her true nature had been completely suppressed by Satoru Gojo.

What's going on? This wicked adult didn't show any murderous intent after she caused trouble. Even when he deliberately tried to provoke her with physical contact, he didn't seem angry or embarrassed.

We've tried everything, but this thing won't budge.

Isn't she pretty? Why didn't Gojo Satoru fall for it? Matsuzaka Airi couldn't help but question her own charm.

After scrutinizing the man sitting opposite her again, she began to doubt whether he was even human.

The deeper the thought process became, the faster the pace accelerated.

Her curse is always effective; not only do people lose control and express their love when they get close to her, but anyone who looks into her eyes will go insane.

Except for Yuichi.

Does Gojo Satoru really have no feelings for her at all?

But he never told her "I love you".

Even when he said he liked it, he did so in a very perfunctory manner.

They rescued her, locked her up, and arrogantly told her they would teach her a lesson.

He took care of her, let her be, and skillfully controlled all her movements.

Even after taking off the blindfold, he restrained himself and ran outside to go crazy...

If they didn't want her dead, then what did they hope to gain from her by taming and raising her in this way?

What does Gojo Satoru want?

Is there anything else he might lack?

Her train of thought had reached a dead end; she was in a daze. A crack appeared in the hard shell of the glass city, and she began to fall.

What do you want?

Gojo Satoru, what do you want to take from me?

I have nothing to give you.

What exactly is it here that you've been so determined to get?

"Hey... tell me?"

Do I really have anything left that you could take away?

Ask him what he wants?

The man pulled off his blindfold, opened his eyes, and locked them tightly onto the girl who was half a meter away from him. His eyes were filled with all his malice and desire for her.

She knew nothing about it.

"I want Airi."

She remained blank-minded, filled with brokenness, helplessness, and panic, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"I'm here……?"

You've already got me, aren't I right in front of you?

“No, that’s not right.” The man relaxed his shoulders, his tone light and natural. “What I want is the complete Airi, the complete one.”

Body and mind, everything.

Cast aside your shame and open your body to him.

Forget the past, empty your heart completely so he can take over.

I want her to laugh happily, but I also want her to cry with joy.

No matter what happens, he's always the first person I think of; if there's something I don't want to do, he's the first person I think of.

I share everything with him—what I hate and what I like.

Be the one she likes the most, loves the most, and is the most important to her.

There is no one else, no one else.

Gojo Satoru wants to interfere in everything she does.

My feelings for you go beyond mere love and desire, so I want to teach you—from now on, all your joys and sorrows will be for one person.

Shine for me, Airi.
