Chapter 31 Daddy: Where did this young master with a mental problem come from?
The next day at noon, she went to the second grade classroom to find Gojo Satoru for lunch, but found him empty-handed.
That’s strange, didn’t he come back last night? Could it be that she went back to the dormitory? That's strange. Usually I wait for her in the classroom.
As Kanda Kanon was thinking, she met an even stranger person in the corridor.
"Oh~ Long time no see." The short-haired girl had a beautiful teardrop mole under her eyes. The person who came was none other than Ieiri Nozomi.
"Are you here to look for Gojo?" Ieiri Naoko asked, but then she seemed to remember something and muttered, "That guy left without saying a word..."
"He and Geto were called on a mission. Yaga-sensei came here personally, so he probably won't be back today."
Go on another mission. Do you want to squeeze these two people dry before you're done? Kanda Kanon was speechless.
"Really? Then I'll go back and wait for Wu-kun to return victoriously." Kanda Kanon said casually.
The black-haired girl always looks so domineering, like a proud peacock who will never bow her head. Naoko Ieiri is very curious about her. Although they have not had much contact, her sixth sense tells her that this person must have some secrets.
Very curious!
After thinking for a while, Ieiri Naoko said, "But, this escort mission seems to take two or three days. If you have time, would you like to come with me..."
But just when he was halfway through the invitation, he saw Kanda Kanon with her mouth open in shock.
"Guard? Astral plasma?" Kanda Kanon muttered to herself.
"Yeah." Ieiri Shoko nodded.
Almost instantly, Kanda Kanon felt her blood run cold. On a hot summer day, she was the only one in the ice cellar.
"Hey...are you okay?" Ieiri Naoko quickly supported the staggering girl.
The young lady, who was full of vigor and vitality just now, suddenly became trembling with fear, as if she had seen something terrible, her eyes were dull and cold sweat was pouring down.
The girl's body was also shaking. Ieiri Naoko used the reversal technique calmly, but it was to no avail.
Kanda Kanon could no longer hear any sound, the roar in her ears drowned out the voice of Ieiri Shoko.
That book records the future, and at this moment, it has finally been confirmed.
In fact, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that this book was just a fabrication and was not the future at all.
But the real events corresponded to the contents of the book, and Kanda Kanon could no longer deceive herself.
That book is the future.
It was as if she was drowning in the ocean, unable to breathe. The airtight water pulled her into the abyss, and even her struggles seemed weak and pitiful.
Why did you give me this book?
Looking at the Book of the Future floating in the air beside her, the rope she had tied to it last night was long gone. It could break free at any time and appear before her like this, as if mocking her struggle and her arrogance.
"...Kane...Kane!"
Just like a drowning person finally being able to breathe, Kanda Kanon gradually regained consciousness after hearing the familiar voice.
"...Wu-kun?" she muttered in disbelief.
[Hasn’t the mission to go to the Astral Plasma already begun? 】
"You scared me." Gojo Satoru finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Geto Suguru next to him also relaxed his expression.
"Are you okay? You've been sweating a lot. Are you having a nightmare in broad daylight?" Gojo Satoru pulled her into his arms early in the morning and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
[Nightmare?] Maybe he is right, I am indeed in a nightmare, could you please wake me up quickly. 】
Hearing this, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru looked at each other silently, and a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes.
They were able to appear here so quickly thanks to the cursed spirits left behind by Geto Suguru. The large dog curse spirit is responsible for following her. If anything unusual happens, it will not only stand up to protect her, but also notify the bird-shaped curse spirit B that has been following her outside.
Curse spirit B is only the size of a pigeon, has no spells but possesses a bird's unique sense of direction. For some reason, it can accurately find the owner's location no matter how far away it is.
Geto Suguru placed these two special cursed spirits by her side so that he could be the first to know if something might happen to her.
Not long ago, the two of them were called back by the cursed spirit B at the school gate. When they arrived, they saw that she looked distraught.
It seemed that the predicted future events were about to begin, and I was so anxious that I almost lost my strength.
Gojo Satoru silently pulled up her hand. His palms were wet with sweat and his fingertips were frighteningly cold. Holding it for a while didn't help. His warmth couldn't be transferred to her body.
"Hanato-chan." Xiayou Jie bent down, his tone and expression were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring her, "Don't worry, we will be back soon. Everything you worry about will not happen."
[…You’re lying. Don’t even mention coming back early. You’ll be a different person when you come back. And...the protagonist of this incident, Tenriko, will also die a violent death. 】
[There is nothing more cruel than being killed at the moment of stepping into a bright future. Come to think of it, I am the same. I fight against fate, but it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. 】
[Will I one day also be like this, running towards a new life with joy, but stepping into hell? 】
Kanda Kanon has very complicated feelings towards Tenriko who is about to die. It seemed as if I saw my own shadow in her.
It would have been great if the person who owned this book was Gojo Satoru. If it were him, he would definitely not be as useless as me.
"I'm fine, I just have low blood sugar because I didn't eat breakfast." Kanda Kanon pretended to be calm, not daring to reveal any flaws.
The black-haired girl with a pale face straightened up suddenly. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of depression, and this delicate flower looked like it would wither at any time.
Gojo Satoru placed his hands on her head and rubbed them hard while she was stunned.
The silky smooth hair was rubbed into a frizzy lion head.
With her hair frizzy, Kanda Kanon had a blank look on her face.
"Hahahahahaha." Gojo Satoru's unbridled laughter echoed in the corridor.
...My fist is hard now. He won't die if I slap him now, right?
"Just wait here for me, and I'll bring you a souvenir when I come back." Gojo Satoru raised his chin proudly, "It's definitely something you like!"
[No, I don’t want a gift, just let me punch you now. 】Kanda Kanon looked at his fair face sinisterly, thinking how nice it would be if there was a slap mark there.
"Then I'm leaving~" Gojo Satoru, who was selectively deaf, waved his hand.
"Go-kun." Kanda Kanon found her voice from her dry throat.
"What's wrong?"
The girl looked very hesitant. She opened her mouth, but the words went around in her mouth and she couldn't say them.
"You...you should take good rest and don't get too tired. Your technique doesn't require a lot of energy. What if someone attacks you when you're tired? I heard that this mission is to protect the satellite plasma?"
Kanda Kanon took a deep breath, her lively eyes showing dissatisfaction and jealousy: "I am your fiancée, and your body belongs to me alone. I don't want to see you ruin your body to protect other women!"
...It's amazing. How did she manage to ignore others and say such embarrassing lines? Ieiri Shoko's eyes widened.
Even Geto Suguru opened his eyes wide in shock at her unexpected words.
Not to mention Gojo Satoru who faced her head on.
An unignorable warm current flowed from the heart to the limbs, and the body seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and even the breath tasted sweet.
Does this mean that she has opened her heart to him a little? Does this mean that he is one step closer to her heart?
"I won't lose." It was as satisfying as the first bite of food after being hungry for three days and three nights. The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth couldn't stop rising, like the blue eyes at the end of the sky, shining brightly in the sun.
That was a smile that belonged uniquely to the sixteen-year-old Gojo Satoru.
Full of vigor and unbridled enthusiasm, without any worries, as if fearless, so dazzling and out of reach.
Unlike her, just these words had drained all her courage.
"Well..." Kanda Kanon forced a smile to make herself look more natural, "Then I'll wait for you at the technical high school."
The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the distance, and Kanda Kanon's soul seemed to follow them.
"Are we going to eat?" asked Ieiri Naoko.
"……Um."
She had just lied and followed Ieiri Shoko in a daze, with half of Kanda Kanon's face hidden in the shadows.
It was confirmed that the future in the book was real, so she had to leave here when Fushiguro Shirou attacked the high school. Unlike other sorcerers, even those swarms of flies can easily bully her.
[No, if I accidentally collide with that humanoid nuclear warhead, I will be shattered into pieces. It turned out to be a better idea to leave the technical college that day. 】
Kanda Kanon began to think about where to go.
A few days ago——
Tokyo's largest racecourse was bustling with people cheering for the horse they had bought.
There was only madness, greed and desire for money in these people's eyes, and the few horse racing tickets in their hands became the ceremonial weapon for their turnaround. What's more, they put everything they had into this.
This is a carnival place for gamblers, where two completely different situations, becoming rich overnight and losing everything, are born alternately.
And there sat a man, his muscular body pushing his clothes up, his black bangs half covering his eyes as fierce as a black panther.
Different from the madness of others, he leaned lazily in his chair and took a sip of Coke with an expressionless face.
But his eyes never left the big screen for a moment, and in his hand he lightly held a horse racing ticket with a large number written on it.
“Yo.”
Fushiguro Shigeki didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard the voice, and responded nonchalantly: "Hmm?"
"You come to a place like this again." Kong Shiyu sat down next to him with emotion.
This guy has lost countless times, but he still doesn't learn his lesson. Kong Shiyu was amazed.
"What's the matter?" Fushiguro Shigeki curled his lips, as if his interest was disturbed, and sighed.
"Of course there is a mission." Kong Shiyu said.
Only then did Fushiguro Shigeru give him a look and shifted his gaze from the arena to him.
"Can't you wait until I'm free to talk about it?" Fushiguro Jiner picked his ear with his little finger and pulled the corner of his mouth with disgust.
A scar at the corner of his mouth surged, revealing the fangs behind his lips that were shining with a cold light.
"Well, I came here because you were the only one who was asked to do this mission, and..." Kong Shiyu rubbed his fingers, "The reward is quite good."
"Oh~" Fushiguro Shigeu became a little interested, "Even you said so, it seems that we can make a lot of money this time."
"But..." Kong Shiyu's expression was a little strange. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the task information, and handed it to Fushiguro Shier. "It's just that the requirements are a little strange. The difficulty is a little inconsistent with the high reward."
The first thing that caught his eye was the amount of money. The number 1 was followed by many zeros, which made Fushiguro a little dizzy.
"Hmm... ten million?" Fushiguro Shigeki frowned.
"...Look again, that's a comma, not a decimal point." Kong Shiyu spoke after a moment of silence.
Fushiguro Shigeki counted again and then opened his eyes wide.
"...One billion?" Fushiguro opened his mouth in surprise, "Whose life is so valuable... Hmm?"
"Pansei Sect? And...what kind of weird request?" Fushiguro Shige'er frowned and stared at his phone in disbelief.
Known as the Sorcerer Killer by the dark world, all the missions he receives are about taking someone's life. This is the first time that someone has come to him with such a request after being offered a high salary like today.
There was only one sentence describing the task on the phone.
[Capture the leader of the Panxing Sect alive.] 】
"...Where did this young master with a mental problem come from, who has so much money but doesn't know where to spend it?" Fushiguro Shinji pointed at his own head and said to Kong Shiyu in disbelief.
"Who knows." Kong Shiyu shrugged, "But you will definitely take it, right?"
"Of course." Fushiguro Shige'er curled the corners of his lips, and the scar looked even more hideous. "As long as you pay, I don't care what you do."
Panxing Sect, right? He is determined to get the 1 billion yuan. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Fushiguro Shinji's eyes.
