Chapter 49 28 Enlightenment: Strange
In Kanda Kanon's short life of more than ten years, she experienced countless ups and downs. But in the end, she overcame the difficulties with her amazing perseverance.
After traveling to the new world, although it was full of dangers, she also made countless friends and partners, and her life was very fulfilling.
Kanda Kanon also found her own home, and she finally plucked up the courage to respond to Gojo Satoru's feelings.
But!
I was just one step away from success, and you kicked me into a new world again? !
Kanda Kanon lowered her head slightly, and her bangs covered her eyes. Her gaze fell on the book floating in the air beside her, her eyes filled with anger as if she wanted to tear it to pieces.
If the Gojo Satoru of this world hadn't been right in front of her, she would have had to fight this broken book for three hundred rounds.
That’s right, Kanda Kanon has already realized that this Gojo Satoru is not the Gojo Satoru she is familiar with.
She had previously assumed that there were two possibilities for the mismatch between the book and reality. One was that this was a completely fabricated story in the book, and the other was that this was something that happened in a parallel world in another time and space.
The world she traveled to again was one of these two possibilities, that is to say -
The tragic future in the book is about to happen in this world!
What’s even more terrifying than her previous experience is that, looking at this timeline where Gojo Satoru is wearing an eyepatch, all the events are about to begin.
It’s over, I’m really going to die now! Kanda Kanon almost burst into tears.
Gojo Satoru: …
This child is indignant at one moment and wants to cry but has no tears at the next. Is he not in a good mental state?
“…So, what’s the answer?” Gojo Satoru’s tone was relatively calm.
Kanda Kanon shuddered and looked up cautiously. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist, which made people feel very pitiful.
Unfortunately, the one standing here was Gojo Satoru, and he did not waver at all. Those eyes, more beautiful than hers, stared at her without blinking. The pressure was like a mountain, pressing down hard on her.
Kanda Kanon sniffed, her eyes gradually becoming sharper: "Actually - I am an alien from the distant M78 nebula. It is my duty to protect the peace of the universe! Do you believe in light? The earth is about to face a world-destroying crisis, so..."
"So you are Ultraman?" Gojo Satoru stood with his arms crossed, a serious look on his face.
"…What if I say yes?"
"Then transform yourself and let me see."
“…”
"You may not know that I really hate liars. If you lie to me, I don't know what will happen to you."
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"The apology was pretty quick..." Gojo Satoru sighed and said with emotion.
He pinched his chin, the smile disappeared from his face, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he moved, circled around Kanda Kanon three times, and looked her up and down.
Kanda Kanon was like a small dog that couldn't resist, she let him sniff her with her ears drooping and trembling.
"Do you really know me?" Gojo Satoru thought for a long time and said, "No, should I say that you are really familiar with me?"
How to answer this? It feels like a trap... Whether it's yes or no, he will tear it apart. Kanda Kanon stammered, not knowing how to answer.
You can't say that she is a person who traveled from another parallel universe, so it would be better to let him believe that he is Ultraman.
"Ha~" Gojo Satoru looked at her with a look that seemed to have lost his patience, "My time is very precious. If you keep wasting it, I will really catch you and put you in a small dark room and kill you."
Kill, kill? ! This Gojo Satoru is too cruel! Kanda Kanon was so scared that her face turned into white lines.
"You may not believe it, but I am actually your fiancée whom you have never met..." Kanda Kanon said seriously.
"…What's your name?" Gojo Satoru was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Kanda Kanon." She was a little surprised that this person didn't argue with her. Could it be that... he really believed it?
In just a few seconds, Kanda Kanon thought a lot.
The timeline of this world seems to have come to the time when everything is about to begin. Although the book is thick and the content is densely packed, in reality, only a few months passed from the beginning to the fall of Japan.
With nothing left, is there really a way for her to escape from the world of curse and escape from Japan?
The first problem was that she had no money, and the small bag she brought with her to contain her money and sundries was still on Gojo Satoru's back.
And the second question... Kanda Kanon looked at the silent Gojo Satoru. She didn't think that this man would let her go.
At least not until I dispel my suspicions about her.
So the question is, how is she going to survive in this world?
In a brief moment, Kanda Kanon subconsciously chose Gojo Satoru, even though he was not the one she was familiar with. But no matter whether it is a fictional story or a parallel universe, Gojo Satoru will still be Gojo Satoru, and the essence of human beings will not change.
You have to find a way to gain his trust first, you have to hold on to this thigh first.
"Kanda... I don't have any impression of this name. By the way, I don't have a fiancée." Gojo Satoru thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any information about her.
It’s a bit strange, why are you thinking so seriously?
Kanda Kanon rolled her eyes secretly.
Her original intention in saying this was not to make him believe it, but to dispel his hostility.
It would be better to let him think that I was a suitor who fantasized about becoming his wife than to come and attack the high school as a curser.
"...Why don't you think about it again?" Kanda Kanon smiled obediently, looking at him shyly with expectation in her eyes.
"Although I don't want to believe your nonsense, it's so strange..." Gojo Satoru pouted and scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion, "Why do you have my cursed power in your body?"
Kanda Kanon blinked rapidly when she heard that, then her eyes slowly widened.
"Not only that..." Gojo Satoru's eyes fell on the cursed tool she was carrying. Although it was wrapped in cloth, his six eyes would not be wrong. "The cursed tool you are carrying is the special-grade cursed tool Tensakiboko. It's really strange. I destroyed this cursed tool many years ago. How come it is on you?"
How could Gojo Satoru not recognize the cursed tool that almost killed him? In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he destroyed the cursed tool after Fushiguro Shinobu died.
Only then did Kanda Kanon realize that she was still carrying Amesakihoko on her back. She hooked her fingers around the red strap that Gojo Satoru had prepared for her, her eyes full of shock.
It was Gojo Satoru who asked her to carry the Amenakaboko with her. She always carried it with her when she went out. It had become a habit. This trip to the amusement park was no exception.
He said that if by any chance he failed to appear in time to protect her, the spell tool he gave her could also protect her on his behalf.
What emerged in her mind was the still clear and brilliant smile of Gojo Satoru. Whenever she looked at him, her own image was always reflected in his eyes, and his gaze was full of affection for her.
The separation from him was too sudden, but fortunately, she responded to his feelings, otherwise she might regret it for the rest of her life.
It’s just… I miss him a little. If he were here, I wouldn’t be so scared.
I don’t know if there is any way to go back.
Before Kanda Kanon could finish her thought, a shadow fell in front of her eyes and her heart suddenly tightened.
"But the strangest thing..." Gojo Satoru's face suddenly darkened. He took two steps forward and looked down at her condescendingly.
With a hook of her slender, bony fingers, something on Kanda Kanon's neck flew out.
Tied to the red string is an exquisitely crafted amulet, which also has a red background and is embroidered with mysterious golden patterns, with the word "peace" embroidered in the middle.
Gojo Satoru casually hooked the rope and saw the words clearly. He snorted and laughed, and there was a coldness in his eyes that could no longer be concealed.
"What is this?" There was a surge of shock in Gojo Satoru's eyes. How could he not recognize whose cursed power this was?
Even Gojo Satoru, who is nonchalant about everything and just goes with the flow, has various suspicions about the girl's origins.
The strange girl looked ordinary except for her appearance, but she had her own cursed power. He was carrying a tricky special-grade cursed tool that he had destroyed long ago, and hanging around his neck was an amulet that contained the cursed power of his only friend.
There is also a sleeping cursed spirit in this amulet. Judging from the flow of cursed energy inside it, it should have been made by Geto Suguru himself.
However, as early as a year ago, Geto Suguru had been killed by his own hands. Could it be that the cursed spirit did not disappear because it was made into a possessed amulet?
In short, it is true that this girl has a close relationship with Geto Suguru.
But even if the sudden appearance of Tenshobo is because there is a second sword in the world, how do we explain the cursed energy that belongs to her?
It was because of this that Gojo Satoru hesitated, otherwise he would have regarded her as a curser who came to avenge Geto Suguru.
"This, this is a talisman..." Kanda Kanon forced a smile and swallowed.
The reason why she was nervous was not anything else but because Gojo Satoru was really super scary now.
He is more intimidating than when he was young. He is bigger in height and build, and his strength is much stronger.
Kanda Kanon didn't know why he suddenly got angry. She shrank her neck and dared not make a sound, like a poor hamster being stared at by a big cat.
The girl in front of him had confusion and fear in her eyes. She pursed her lips, her nose was red, her eyes were filled with tears, and tears were welling up in her eye sockets, looking like they would fall at any moment.
"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru blinked, a little surprised, "Don't you know?"
"Know what?" Kanda Kanon choked out.
The harm caused by him being so aggressive towards her with such a face was greater than she thought, and Kanda Kanon suppressed her grievance.
The confusion and puzzlement in the girl's eyes did not seem to be fake. If this was an act, then Gojo Satoru really felt that she could attend the Oscars.
That’s right, Kanda Kanon didn’t know what this amulet did or who made it.
Because Gojo Satoru didn't tell her at all, he just asked her to carry it with her.
In her opinion, this was a gift from Gojo Satoru to her, implying his hope that she would be safe.
Kanda Kanon doesn't have six eyes, so she can't see any clues. Although I could see that this amulet had magical powers, I just thought it was some kind of cursed tool.
“What a headache…” Gojo Satoru put down the rope and began to ponder again.
He didn't know what to do with this girl, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his memory.
She seemed to have a close relationship with him, but he had no impression of her at all.
"Well, you may not believe it..." Kanda Kanon said hesitantly, "Actually, I came from another world. We are very familiar with each other in that world."
After all... they have already kissed, and Kanda Kanon's eyes are wandering.
After Gojo Satoru reminded her of the various abnormalities in her body, Kanda Kanon finally reacted and said that she was a time traveler, which is easier to believe than Ultraman.
“…Is this true?” Gojo Satoru frowned and sighed.
Indeed, her explanation could explain her abnormality.
But can something like coming from another time and space really happen?
But anyway...it's necessary to observe it again.
"Don't you have anywhere to go now~" Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his mouth again and clapped his hands.
Kanda Kanon nodded. It was not certain whether the Kanda family existed in this world, but even if it did, she could not go back.
She really needed a place to stay.
"Then come to the technical high school!" Gojo Satoru waved his finger frivolously, but his tone was unyielding. "Ah~ This year's first-year students are really a great harvest. I'll introduce them to you later."
First grade...that means school has already started!
So where is the plot now? It’s not too late!
The color on Kanda Kanon's face quickly faded, and the hot tears in her eyes finally couldn't be held back and fell.
The fear of impending death lingered in her heart, and Kanda Kanon began to sob.
"...Ah?" Gojo Satoru was dumbfounded. "You're crying? Why?"
"Wow, wow, wow..." Kanda Kanon sobbed, "Don't mind it, I'm just so moved..."
What made her burst into tears? Was it emotion?
No, I dare not move!
She cried even louder.
Gojo Satoru put on his eye mask silently. This was the first time he met someone who would start crying as soon as they disagreed with something.
"Gojo-sensei!"
The teacher in the classroom suddenly ran out with a serious look on his face, and the three first-grade students immediately stood up and chased after him.
But the three of them searched around for a while before they found him, but...
Three people rushed over, and their originally anxious and solemn expressions instantly turned into surprise and suspicion.
"...Teacher, you..." Yuji Itadori looked at the strange girl who was crying loudly, then looked at Gojo Satoru who had a sad face, and didn't know where to start to complain.
"..." Fushiguro Megumi remained silent with a sullen face.
And Nobara Kugisaki looked at the white-haired person with disdain.
"…Those who make girls cry are scumbags!"
Gojo Satoru: …
"Well...let me explain first."
