Chapter 20 Enlightenment: The sky is falling!
"Hey, stop walking! I've spent so much precious time training you. It's fine if you don't work hard, but you want to be lazy?"
A Hawaiian-style beach chair suddenly appeared beside the playground track. Gojo Satoru lay leisurely on it, took a sip of the soda bought by Kanda Kanon, then picked up the loudspeaker and spoke sarcastically.
Sitting next to him was Geto Suguru, who was also drinking soda.
Well, this is a double beach chair.
Kanda Kanon was sweating profusely and collapsed on the plastic track, motionless.
I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He insisted on asking her to go out for a run and exercise today. Even Geto Suguru was fanning the flames.
But after thinking about it, she decided to follow them out obediently. She really needed some exercise. This body can be said to have been pampered while growing up. It has magical powers but has never been taught how to use them.
To sum it up in one sentence, to put it nicely, she is a delicate and soft girl, to put it bluntly, she is a weak chicken.
So much so that now I collapse to the ground after running two laps.
She was gasping for breath, her lungs and throat were aching terribly, even her breath smelled of blood, and all the muscles in her body could not harden. She became a soft lump, as if she was about to melt.
[No, if I continue like this, I will be killed by Gojo Satoru before I am killed by the future villain! The only way to save me now is to run away immediately, although there is a risk of being found, but! 】
[Even if there is only a 0.1% chance of escaping instantly, I will still bet that I can run away! 】
[It’s much better than running to death!] 】
I really hate sports... Xia Yujie swallowed the soda in his mouth and shook his head helplessly.
"Kane-chan." The next second, Geto Xiayou appeared beside her. He knelt on one knee and patted her head soothingly. "Wu just wanted to train you because he was worried about you."
[…What nonsense is this person talking about? How can the word Gojo Satoru be associated with the word worry? 】Kanda Kanon expressed her dissatisfaction with her sharp eyes, but there was nothing she could do, she couldn't even move a finger.
"We have already entered the busiest season of the year. Disasters have occurred frequently recently. The number of cursed spirits has increased, and their levels have become higher and higher. Even the number of cases involving curse masters has increased." Xia Youjie said solemnly, "You should have noticed that the number of times Wu and I go out on missions has increased."
"We have to train you just in case something happens when we're not around," Xia Youjie explained patiently.
In fact, this is not the whole reason. He has been very busy these days, but it is not just on missions, but also investigating what he heard from Kanda Kanon's inner voice.
Creating a world where she can live in peace is not only her own wish, but also what he, Geto Suguru, wants to accomplish.
But it wouldn't be easy...if he were alone. So Geto Xiayou must unravel her thoughts and save everyone first.
Of course, he also has to secretly protect Kanda Kanon. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so Geto Suguru is under a lot of pressure. But he has a good attitude. The road ahead has been pointed out. He just needs to move forward with all his strength and no longer be confused.
"…I didn't come to the technical high school to become a sorcerer, nor do I want to take on a mission to exorcise any cursed spirits or curse masters." Kanda Kanon spoke with difficulty.
"No." Xiayou Jie replied immediately with a blank expression, "We didn't expect you to grow to the point where you can exorcise the curse."
[…You are so rude when you curse!] 】
"If we encounter danger, at least we have to run away." Xia Youjie stood up and brushed the dust off his legs. His expression could not be seen clearly against the sunlight. "It's not okay if you don't even have the physical strength to escape."
[…What he said makes sense. Escaping does require physical strength. 】For the first time, Kanda Kanon agreed with Geto Suguru’s idea, and her eyes gradually became firm.
"..." Geto Suguru squatted down again and placed his broad and powerful hands on her shoulders. Kanda Kanon felt like a mountain was pressing down on her.
When she looked up, she saw Xia Youjie's handsome smiling face, but she shuddered.
"But you don't have to worry too much. For safety reasons, I have already placed several cursed spirits in the high school to protect your safety."
【……ah? 】Kanda Kanon’s pupils trembled. What’s the difference between this and surveillance?
Even Gojo Satoru, who was walking slowly to their side, stopped in his tracks.
Extremely complex emotions appeared on that handsome, shining face, even more exaggerated than the fan-shaped graph.
When Xia Yujie saw their reactions, his eyelids twitched.
"...As Wu's friend, I have an obligation to protect his fiancée." Xia Youjie said with a righteous look on his face, "Don't think so narrowly!"
[Is this true? This is the first time in my more than ten years of life that I know friends have this obligation. 】Kanda Kanon’s expression was even more difficult to describe.
In a certain big country next door, there is a very famous historical figure, but his reputation is a bit bad. His name is Cao Cao...
For some reason, this person flashed through Gojo Satoru's mind.
What's going on when I feel a little green on my head? Gojo Satoru shook his head, wondering what he was thinking about.
After straightening his expression, Gojo Satoru lowered the corners of his mouth and stopped beside Kanda Kanon, looking down at her.
"How long are you going to rest for?" Gojo Satoru shouted unhappily with a tense face and frowned.
[…Wow.] 】Kanda Kanon sobbed silently and sniffed.
[These two people are so annoying, they don’t even give me some time to rest! I won't fall into a tiger's den just to escape from a wolf's den! 】Kanda Kanon screamed in fear and climbed up tremblingly.
Under the midsummer sun, in the scorching heat, the girl was like a piece of soft boiled noodle. She ran two steps and then collapsed to the ground, then closed her eyes peacefully.
[I really want to enjoy the air conditioning and drink soda...]
Kanda Kanon left her final words.
Xia Youjie looked back at the iced drink prepared for her and sighed.
Who would have thought that I would fall asleep within half an hour of leaving the house?
“…Too weak.” Gojo Satoru smacked his lips.
Xia Yujie sighed and said, "Let's ask Gaozi to come over."
When she opened her eyes again, Kanda Kanon had already arrived at the infirmary, and the smell of disinfectant made her feel uncomfortable.
"You're awake." Hearing this, Ieiri Naoko turned her chair around and said, "You've been sleeping for a long time."
"You are..." Kanda Kanon was a little surprised. This was her first time being alone with this senior and also the first time she had a conversation with him.
"My name is Naoko Ieiri, and I'm working part-time as the school doctor here." Naoko Ieiri stood up and walked slowly to her bedside.
"But this is the first time I've treated heatstroke." Ieiri Nishiko shook her head with emotion.
You have to know that every one of the guys in the technical college is as strong as a bull. They are treated for external and internal injuries from fighting, and heatstroke is the first one.
"...Are you laughing at me?" Kanda Kanon said in a somewhat aggressive tone, pursed her cherry lips, and glared at her with her watery eyes.
It's a bit like a kitten with its fur standing on end, thought Ieiri Nishiko.
"No, I just want to tell you to stop bothering those two guys. What's important is to replenish your nutrition." said Ieiri Shoko.
Nutrition? She wanted to, but she still had to save money to run away.
Kanda Kanon pouted and sneered: "Ha, I'm willing to do anything to be with Wu-kun! What do you know."
The corner of Ieiri Naoko's mouth twitched.
However, from all the rumors, it was said that Kanda Kanon was a very difficult young lady, but now it seems that she is not that scary.
"You really like that guy Gojo Satoru." Ieiri Shoko stretched out her voice.
"Of course, there is no one in the world who likes him more than me." Kanda Kanon opened her mouth and lied without changing her expression.
"Hmph~" Ieiri Naoko raised the corner of her lips and opened the door of the infirmary, "It seems so. Yo~ Popular man~"
"You look so idle. Do you want me to find you something to do?" Gojo Satoru walked in with a sour face.
"Run away, run away." Ieiri Nishiko ran away quickly with a tactful look.
"Go-kun!" Kanda Kanon called out happily. Her sharp brows quickly softened and she looked at him tenderly.
Gojo Satoru pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. He threw the thing in his hand over.
"for you."
Kanda Kanon hurriedly took it and took a closer look. It was a can of ice cola.
She was tearful and touched, sniffing: "I knew you liked me the most. How did Wujun know I wanted to drink this?"
Come to think of it, this was the first time Gojo Satoru gave her something, and she felt a little happy when she thought about it. The son who was raised a little finally knew the feeling of filial piety...
Bah, that's not right, how could you kfc yourself!
Kanda Kanon immediately put out the emotion that was welling up in her heart.
"Idiot, how would I know? I just bought too much and thought too much." Gojo Satoru raised his chin, shifted his gaze, and said stubbornly.
Yes, he admitted that he had a tiny bit of affection for this idiot, but if he agreed to this, he would seem quite a clown.
After all, this woman was the fiancée arranged by those idiots at home, and they haven’t figured out what’s going on yet.
There's still plenty of time, so why rush?
As Gojo Satoru thought this, his gaze fell on her still somewhat pale face.
"Tsk, you're so weak that you can't even run two steps, yet you still want to be with me..." Gojo Satoru muttered softly. He suddenly leaned forward and pinched Kanda Kanon's soft face with his big, bony hands. "First, find a way to improve your weakling's physical strength, and then think about marrying me!"
Gojo Satoru raised his thumb and wiped the dust off her cheek.
This was actually the first time he touched her body, and it felt pretty good, Gojo Satoru thought as he pinched her.
Kanda Kanon, who was squeezed into a puffer fish, was furious.
[Damn it, the only thing worth looking at is this white-haired guy’s face, he really deserves a beating! You just know how to bully me every day. Do you really think I like you? Bah! 】
Kanda Kanon smiled on the surface, but she was actually cursing in her heart.
Gojo Satoru: …?
He looked left and right, picked his ears, and fell into deep thought.
What's going on? Am I hallucinating?
[Damn it, I've tried so hard, why doesn't he cancel the engagement? What went wrong?! 】
This time Gojo Satoru heard it clearly; the voice was clearly that of the woman in front of him.
But, she clearly didn't open her mouth, so what was this...
Gojo Satoru felt disappointed and his head was buzzing.
The abnormalities of Haibara Yu and Suguru Geto suddenly appeared in his mind.
He seemed to understand something, and Gojo Satoru's hand that was pinching her face slowly slid away.
[Ouch, it hurts. This guy’s hands are so strong. Does he want to crush me to death? 】Kanda Kanon rubbed her cheeks subconsciously.
But when I looked up, what I saw was Gojo Satoru with wide eyes and a dull expression on his face.
[What’s going on? Is this guy stupid?] 】Kanda Kanon blinked in confusion.
The air seemed to become thinner, and Gojo Satoru had difficulty breathing. His heart felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants and was aching slightly.
The things I had always believed in were shattered so easily.
Gojo Satoru's throat tightened and he grabbed her collar fiercely. His bright blue eyes stared at the woman in front of him, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
Gojo Goten collapsed, and the sweet soda wrapped around his body was expired.
