Chapter 17 She is not a bad kid
On a hill not far from the town, Gojo Satoru rubbed a "nuclear bomb" in his hands and blasted it at the blind pile of cursed spirits.
"Be careful, cough cough!" Dust filled the air, and Xia Yujie fanned it with his hands, "The nearby residents have not yet evacuated."
"I've already controlled it. Really, there are too many of these small fry." Gojo Satoru retorted.
In the dense jungle, the sun shone through the leaves and cast spots of light on the ground. It was a fairy-tale scene, but countless uninvited guests appeared.
Those ugly cursed spirits rushed around, but were all destroyed. In front of the two top-grade sorcerers, all villains are vulnerable.
"By the way, you don't hate her that much, you were actually protecting her just now." Geto Suguru's cursed power hit several cursed spirits like bullets. The opponent was too weak to muster any strength, so he still had time to chat with Gojo Satoru.
"Ah?" Gojo Satoru looked listless, and his bright blue eyes also looked dull. He was sleepy because of this group of small fry.
His eyes moved, and then he replied lazily: "Tsk, you can't let her die here, that guy is so weak."
"Besides... there is a difference between bugs and cats." Gojo Satoru said unclearly.
But Xia Youjie instantly understood what he meant.
Kanda Kanon does have a face that anyone who sees it would say is beautiful. Beauty is a weapon, cuteness is justice, people are born unequal, and it is human instinct to pursue beautiful things.
No one dislikes beautiful things. Even those who like ugliness will be regarded as having special fetishes by the world. People with beautiful things will inevitably be sought after.
The personality displayed by Kanda Kanon is indeed unpleasant, and her aggressive malice will make people who just met her feel uncomfortable. But after getting to know her, you will find that she is just showing off with words.
She was too weak and posed no threat or harm at all, or it would be more accurate to say that she couldn't hurt anyone.
The public would call such people ants, bugs that can be crushed to death at any time.
There was no threat, and coupled with her extremely deceptive appearance, it was clear what Gojo Satoru meant when he called her a cat.
Insects can be crushed to death without any feeling, but cats cannot. Even if a cat is very aggressive and attacks people everywhere, few people are willing to hit it, let alone kill it.
"…If the remarks just now are posted online, they will definitely go viral." Xia Youjie shook his head and complained.
"Tsk." Gojo Satoru curled his lips indifferently, "Is it wrong to tell the truth?"
"But I won't raise a disobedient cat." Gojo Satoru exorcised the last cursed spirit casually and said with disdain.
"You'd better." Xia Youjie smiled.
"Speaking of which, this summer is too hot, no wonder there are so many missions." Gojo Satoru tugged at his collar, looked up at the big sun in the sky and let out a long sigh, "I want to eat something cold, let's go for a walk nearby, I'm just hungry."
"..." Xia Youjie was speechless, "Have you forgotten something?"
Gojo Satoru was silent for a moment, then he let out an unhappy sound.
"That guy better stay where he is!"
The boy, whose interest was spoiled, stepped heavier, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked very angry.
Geto Suguru shook his head and followed behind. To be honest, he had no idea what Gojo Satoru thought of Kanda Kanon.
like? Hate? Or neither?
Anyway, he selfishly hopes that these two people will be together. After all, Gojo Satoru is the strongest sorcerer in the world of curse arts, and he can rest assured that Kanda Kanon stays by his side.
What's more, the two of them are engaged, so it's legitimate for them to be together.
Geto Suguru sighed, hoping that his best friend could fight for his dignity, otherwise for the sake of Kanda Kanon's future safety, he would have to become a scumbag.
"So, where did you put that thing?" Gojo Satoru turned his head and asked.
Xia Youjie smiled confidently: "Don't worry, just let it lead the way. I called it back specially."
Geto Suguru took out the fish-shaped cursed spirit, which carried two people and flew to the place where Kanda Kanon dropped the fish.
Although Geto Suguru's technique can control cursed spirits, he cannot share the five senses with them. The cursed spirit that has left him can be taken back at any time, and it can only be sensed when it is exorcised.
So he ordered the cursed spirit to return to him after putting Kanda Kanon in a safe place, so that he could be taken to her.
Xia Youjie had good intentions, but reality is often not as good as expected.
"Well... no one is here." Xia Youjie looked at the empty streets and held his forehead with his hand because of a headache.
"That idiot, didn't she understand what I said when I told her to stay where she is?" Gojo Satoru raised his sandbag-sized fist.
"There's no other way, Wu, quickly use your invincible six eyes to think of a solution." Xia Yujie patted his shoulder.
Gojo Satoru's eyes twitched, and he shouted with a distorted face: "Am I a dog? Don't talk like a dog is trying to find a person by smelling a scent, okay!"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. So did you see where she is?" asked Xia Yujie.
"This is an eye, not a GPS. If there is a way to lock onto someone whose whereabouts I don't know, I would really like to see it." Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes, then lowered his sunglasses, looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the path next to him.
"Hmph, now we should be thankful that guy is an idiot." Gojo Satoru curled his lips.
In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, an excellent sorcerer would be careful not to leave any residue, but Kanda Kanon knew nothing about sorcery.
Thanks to this, Gojo Satoru was able to find her whereabouts without any effort.
Following Kanda Kanon's dirty footprints, the two walked forward and finally arrived at the door of a store.
"There are a lot of residues here. It seems that she has stayed here for a long time." Gojo Satoru looked around and said, "There are also a lot of residues left by your cursed spirit. It is a special grade one. You really care about her."
Gojo Satoru stretched out his voice, and the meaningless tone made it hard to tell whether it was a mockery or something else.
Xia Yujie's gaze swept across his calm profile, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
He held his chin with his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, protecting the weak is the reason why I became a sorcerer. That child is too weak, I have to keep a close eye on him. And..."
"She's not a bad kid, is she?"
Geto Suguru said this, but Gojo Satoru did not refute like he did before.
The eyes as blue as the sky were raised, as if looking at something, but also as if looking at nothing. The silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, and the thoughts drifted away.
"Although she has a sharp tongue, she has never done anything to hurt others." Xiayou Jie said softly, "And it's not her fault that she became like this. You should know this best, Wu."
Xia Youjie persuaded her half-seriously and half-falsely. He could hear her inner voice and of course knew that everything was a disguise, but the essence was the same.
Of course he knew, Gojo Satoru pursed his lips, he knew it better than anyone else.
He knew exactly what it meant to be born into a family in the world of sorcery.
Although Kanda Kanon comes from an inferior family, she is not only the legitimate daughter, but also his fiancée. Gojo Satoru knows what kind of education she will receive in the family with such an identity.
The education they receive since birth, the concepts they are instilled with, the attitudes of the people around them, and the values and world they see as a result are all completely different from those of ordinary people.
No matter how wonderful the world is, no matter how fast the world progresses, people in the magic world seem to be still immersed in the last century. He has seen too many greedy and stupid faces of those senior officials who regard power as everything.
Even though Gojo Satoru has been surrounded by these idiots since he was a child, he has the strength and background to look down on everyone else, but he still cannot be satisfied in his heart.
What exactly was that? After going out countless times in his childhood and seeing the outside world, he decided to witness it with his own eyes.
So he left Kyoto and came to Tokyo School, escaping from that place where idiots gathered.
But Kanda Kanon was not so lucky. It was said that she had never even stepped out of the house, which seemed incredible to Gojo Satoru.
It's no surprise that she has that kind of personality. It should be said that her sharp tongue alone can be considered as a sign of goodness.
However, it is also true that she was assimilated into a fool. So every time Gojo Satoru saw her, he became very annoyed.
What annoyed him even more was the attitude of the people around him, especially Geto Suguru. Why was he so nice to this idiot? It made him seem like...
"Oh, that school uniform is..." A puzzled male voice interrupted Gojo Satoru's thoughts. He turned his head and saw a group of teenagers in sportswear.
Feeling his gaze, the boys seemed a little restless and they gathered together whispering.
"So he is from the same school as her."
"The feeling is that the uniforms are very similar, and they don't look like students from nearby."
"That's terrible. I don't know where she went to find it."
What they thought was a whispered conversation was heard clearly by the two of them. The sorcerer's ears were much sharper than those of ordinary people.
"You guys." Gojo Satoru raised his voice and said calmly, "Have you ever seen a black-haired girl about this height?"
As he said this, he gestured at his chest.
The boys were somewhat tempted, but still hesitated. After all, it would be troublesome if they said the wrong thing.
“Ah…” Gojo Satoru thought for a moment before continuing, “She’s probably the type of young lady who looks hard to mess with and has a bad temper, and rolls her eyes at you.”
Listening to Gojo Satoru's merciless description, Geto Suguru beside him was speechless.
Gojo Satoru felt that his description was very specific, but the reactions of the boys on the opposite side were different from what he expected.
They tilted their heads at the same time.
Who is it?
"I didn't see the girl you described." Hinata Shoyang crossed his arms, racked his brains for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"Huh?" Gojo Wuqi laughed, "Your reaction just now clearly shows that you saw it!"
Hinata Shoyo was frightened by the arrogant Gojo Satoru and hurriedly hid behind Kageyama Tobio.
"B-but I really didn't see it..." Hinata Shoyo muttered softly.
Sugawara Koji and Sawamura Daichi looked at each other, and the silver-gray-haired boy turned around and said to Gojo Satoru: "I have indeed never seen the girl you described, but there was a girl with a similar appearance who passed by."
"But it shouldn't be the person you're looking for. After all..." Sugawara Koji frowned, and it was hard to put into words, "That girl is not as bad as you described."
It should be said that it is quite the opposite, Sugawara Koji curled his lips.
Here it comes again, Gojo Satoru's teeth squeaked as he bit them.
Whether it's this group of people or Geto Suguru and the others, why do they all look like this?
"What's so good about that idiot? Why are they all protecting her?" Gojo Satoru took a big step forward, clenched his fists, and waved his right arm excitedly to the side, "So? Are you saying that my choice was wrong?"
If everyone chose Kanda Kanon, then why did he escape from that gathering place of idiots? Isn't it wrong not to want to become that arrogant and brainless idiot?
"Wu, you're too excited. Calm down." Xia Youjie raised his hand and hooked his raised arm back. "No one said you were wrong. No, none of you were wrong."
Geto Suguru's voice made Gojo Satoru regain his sanity. He took a deep breath and slowly put down his hand.
"I know." Gojo Satoru replied in a low voice.
Then he put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked in the direction where Kanda Kanon left the filth.
"Sorry, he meant no harm." Xia Youjie did not rush to follow him. Instead, he explained to the frightened teenagers with an apologetic look.
"Wu just... has some misunderstanding with Kanon." Xiayou Jie paused and said tactfully.
"Kane..." Sugawara Koji looked puzzled, "As expected, he was talking about Kanda-san. Whatever the case, he went a bit too far."
The others nodded silently.
"I thought you two were on good terms because you went to the courage contest together... I think since the mountain has been closed, it's better for you to go back quickly." Tanaka Ryunosuke touched his short hair and said speechlessly.
Fortunately, the mountain was sealed, otherwise if that girl participated in a test of courage competition with that man just now, I dare not imagine what would have happened.
A test of courage? Geto Suguru blinked and immediately realized that this was an excuse made by Kanda Kanon.
"Ah... my stomach is starting to hurt again." Hinata Shoyo was terrified at the thought of being watched by a bear for several days. "As expected, there will be more wild animals near the mountains. I have to be more careful next time."
Wild animal? It seems that they were having a pleasant chat just now, Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, there are more wild boars in this season, so you have to be careful." Xia Yujie smiled and didn't care too much. After all, they lived in a different world from these ordinary people.
And according to his observation, these people were not restrained. If an ordinary person heard someone's inner voice, he would not be so calm.
As expected, Kanda Kanon's binding technique can only work on the sorcerer?
It still needs to be observed.
"Then I'll take my leave." Geto Xiayou nodded politely, turned around and chased in the direction Gojo Satoru left.
If we don't chase him now, Gojo Satoru will disappear without a trace.
"Okay..." The boys looked at each other.
Wild boar? Isn't it a bear?
While everyone was confused, Tsukishima Hotaru, who had been silent, frowned.
Being an observant man, he noticed something was wrong.
On the other side——
Gojo Satoru, who was in a bad mood and walked with his head down, followed the remnants of Kanda Kanon all the way to an open space.
There is a river here. There is a depression around the river and a small bridge above it, connecting to the road on the opposite side.
Gojo Satoru finally found the person he was looking for.
She seemed to like red very much. All her clothes were dyed with a little red, even her uniform. It was so eye-catching that Gojo Satoru saw her at first sight.
Kanda Kanon lazily lay on the guardrail beside the bridge, her white arms folded together. She leaned lightly on them, gazing into the distance at the river in a daze.
This was the first time Gojo Satoru saw her like this. She no longer had her previous dignified and rigid demeanor, nor did she have her usual domineering and arrogant look.
When she is quiet, she is as beautiful as a painting.
Gojo Satoru came behind her silently, and Kanda Kanon was completely unaware. He wanted to hide his aura, and I'm afraid that few people in this world, let alone Kanda Kanon, would be able to detect it.
For some reason, the anger and depression that had just accumulated in my heart slowly dissipated.
Maybe Geto Suguru and the others were not wrong. Kanda Kanon was indeed not a bad kid, Gojo Satoru thought.
It's not our fault.
