Chapter 62 Why Trust
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was already shining on my butt.
Kanda Kanon sat up from the sofa in a daze. She stretched and all the joints in her body seemed to creak. She felt something slipping off her shoulder, which made her look down in confusion.
"Is this... the teacher's coat?" Kanda Kanon shook the large piece of clothes in her hand, leaned closer and sniffed it. Hmm, it was Gojo Satoru's coat.
I have a very strange feeling, is this Gojo Satoru such a considerate person?
I looked around and found that the staff room was still empty. This is not surprising, as the teachers at the technical high school are also sorcerers and are extremely busy.
Not to mention Gojo Satoru. Don't underestimate the workload of the only working top-grade sorcerer in the country!
Even after things have come to this, I don’t know what the people above are thinking yet they still want to deal with Gojo Satoru. If she only had this one senior person doing the job, she would definitely kneel down and beg him not to leave.
The senior old men in the world of sorcery are really full of shit in their brains.
Kanda Kanon stood up, thought for a moment, and put on her coat carefully.
Gojo Satoru, who is 190cm tall, wears a coat that barely covers her buttocks. When she wears it, she looks no different from a three-year-old child who has stolen adult clothes.
"...It's like she's wearing a skirt." Kanda Kanon shook her sleeves which had become much longer, then looked down at the hem that fell to her knees and sighed.
She thought about it, took out her cell phone, took a picture, and sent it to Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru replied to the message very quickly, most likely because he was bored and checking his phone in the car.
[28-year-old beautiful teacher: Not bad. Otherwise I’ll give it to you. 】
[Live to 99: No, I’m not a pervert. Besides, it’s so hot, I don’t want to wear this thick and big coat. 】
[28-year-old beautiful teacher: But you like it very much after wearing it. Do you want me to customize an ultra-thin version of the same style for you? Hahahaha! 】
[Live to 99: Compared to the coat, I want to eat the small cake you mentioned in Sanchome more. Bring me one when you go back to the technical high school! I'll be waiting for you. I will also work hard in high school. After all, this is the opportunity that my teacher asked for! 】
Kanda Kanon expressionlessly tried to get closer to a man on the other end of the phone and flatter him at the same time.
If you want to guide Gojo Satoru to solve the problem, you must have a good relationship with him. Otherwise, why would he obey a female student he is not familiar with?
Otherwise, whatever she said would probably be evaded. This man was best at turning people away with a smile.
After typing, she ignored the continuous messages from Gojo Satoru, took off her coat and put it on Gojo Satoru's chair, and sent a message to Yuji Itadori asking where they were.
No matter which world's Gojo Satoru it is, sending him a message is like a bombardment and there is no way to reply to all of them.
But then again, Kanda Kanon felt inexplicably guilty when she thought of the note she had given him.
...I absolutely cannot let him see it!
Kanda Kanon walked to the playground of the technical high school according to the location sent by Yuji Itadori. Compared to more than ten years ago, it seems a lot newer. Look at this red plastic track. If she had had such conditions back then, she wouldn’t have gotten dirty when she fell on the ground.
Kanda Kanon raised her hand to block the sun and her expression became serious.
Let’s put aside whether it’s new or not for now. She has no good memories of the playground. Look carefully, the person boxing over there is my good classmate, Yuji Itadori?
[He's not going to let me fight with him, I think Nanami wants me to die! 】
"Oh! Kanda!" Yuji Itadori discovered the girl who had been standing at the edge of the playground and had not yet come in, and waved happily.
It’s bad, I can’t run away. Kanda Kanon looked at Nanami Kento who turned his head to look at her, and her whole body froze.
"Hahaha, you guys...are having a great time." Kanda Kanon walked over with an awkward smile.
Nanami Kento looked up at his watch expressionlessly and said, "You are already 5 hours, 23 minutes and 47 seconds late, Kanda-san."
“…I see.” Kanda Kanon immediately slid down to her knees and apologized.
[I can’t help it. I stayed up all night yesterday to confirm future intelligence. The real person will soon appear. I have to make sure to eliminate it without any mistakes, otherwise…]
[My Nanami is about to die!] Moreover, this real person caused a lot of trouble during the Shibuya Incident! 】
So, although Kanda Kanon apologized, she didn't feel that she was wrong at all.
[I stayed up late and was very tired, so I took a nap in the staff room. It’s not a big deal. I hope Nanami will forgive me after seeing how sincere I am! 】
Kanda Kanon's bright eyes opened a little wider, and the innocent little stars emitted hit Nanami Kento's body.
When Nanami Kento heard her thoughts, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect there was such a secret.
Wait a minute, what does that text message from Gojo Satoru mean? Nanami Kento's eyes gradually became sharper. Although that man looked frivolous and unserious, he was actually calmer than anyone else.
Nanami Kento didn't think he didn't understand such ambiguous words, so why did he send such words to him? It couldn't be intentional...
No, Nanami Kento's face gradually became ugly, and he decided to believe that Gojo Satoru was an idiot.
"Kanda-san." Nanami Kento patted Kanda Kanon's shoulder, and in her puzzled eyes, he solemnly said, "Stay away from Gojo-san, don't pay attention to that person if he says something strange to you, and don't agree to talk to you alone, do you understand?"
[…You speak as if Gojo Satoru is a pervert.] 】
"Nanami, is Kanda going to train with me too?" asked Yuji Itadori with a frown.
What if Nanami wants him to fight Kanda? Can that frail little body really withstand a punch from him?
After several hours of baptism, he has been able to skillfully control the cursed power attached to his fist. Yuji Itadori became even more worried when he thought of this.
"No, she doesn't need my teaching. That person just asked me to look after her." Nanami Kento shook his head, then turned to Kanda Kanon and said, "You just rest over there...be careful of heat stroke."
Nanami Kento remembered Gojo Satoru's instructions. He said that the child's body was extremely weak and any training would have the opposite effect.
He understood what Gojo Satoru meant. He kept her by his side only for her safety and to... collect intelligence for the future.
"Huh~" Yuji Itadori breathed a sigh of relief and regained his energy.
If an ordinary person heard that he or she was not taken seriously by the teacher and was put aside, he or she would be extremely angry.
But when it comes to Kanda Kanon, she is extremely happy.
[There is such a good thing!] 】
So, at noon when the sun was at its hottest, a pink-haired boy was sweating profusely in the middle of the playground, while a black-haired girl was cheering him on.
"Oh!!! That's awesome, Itadori-kun!" After watching the heavy hit, Kanda Kanon clapped her hands like a seal.
Yuji Itadori touched his nose subconsciously, a little embarrassed: "It's not that serious."
However, despite saying this, he looked more energetic in his next attack.
Nanami Kento: ...
He seemed to have some idea why Gojo Satoru always liked to hang out with her.
That person not only likes to show off, but also always likes to do things that ordinary people cannot understand and some boring pranks. With a childlike personality, he would probably work harder and more enthusiastically if there was someone supporting him.
Simply put, a lid fits a pot well. The destructive power of Gojo Satoru and Kanda Kanon combined is not just addition, but squared.
From now on, I'll avoid getting close to them when they are both around, Nanami Kento silently made up his mind.
Not far away, three second graders who had just returned from a mission looked at the scene in the middle of the playground with dark faces.
"…What are you doing?" Zenin Maki muttered speechlessly, her eyes full of confusion, "By the way, who is that girl? I've never seen her before."
"It feels like a kindergarten welcome party. It looks very interesting." The panda said while enjoying the fun.
"Salmon, salmon!" Inujuan Ji nodded in agreement.
And Kugisaki Nobara, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly interrupted: "No, that should be a monkey show. It's a pity that Kanon can still praise it."
Fushiguro Megumi: ...
He closed his eyes and refused to look anymore. He really didn't want to admit that those people were his classmates.
But speaking of it, Kanda Kanon has been following Gojo Satoru these days and has not met the second-year senior yet.
...Did Mr. Gojo tell her that she would be attending the exchange meeting? Fushiguro Megumi looked at Kanda Kanon who was sitting and resting and had a bad feeling.
"Forget it." Zenin Maki looked away and stopped looking at the two people who were acting crazy. "Let's go, you guys go train too."
The two had no objection.
"Well, let's go to a quieter place and talk." Panda pointed to the back of the building.
The four people and the panda turned around and left without any hesitation.
And Kanda Kanon will never know what she missed. A certain creature that she had always been curious about while reading just passed by her.
She caught a glimpse of a white ball of fluff from the corner of her eye, and turned her head to look but saw nothing.
"What's wrong, Kanon?" Yuji Itadori, who had upgraded from calling by surname to by name, tilted his head.
"…I think I saw the tail of some creature. Never mind, I must have seen it wrong." Kanda Kanon turned around and said with a smile, "You can continue, Hisahito!"
"Oh!!" Yuji Itadori grinned and clenched his fists with full of energy.
Yuji Itadori is an interesting boy, a simple and cheerful person with only one cell. To sum it up in one sentence -
This guy seems very easy to deceive.
If she was a bad person, she would definitely trick him into becoming her helper while he is still ignorant and naive...ah.
[Come to think of it, if Gojo Satoru and I hadn't stopped him, Ryomen Sukuna would have successfully tricked him into restraining him by now. 】
[Fortunately, I am a very nice person, and I will protect Hisahito's innocence! 】
Nanami Kento: Why do I suddenly feel a little worried?
17:58.
"Kanda-san, Yuji-san." Nanami Kento glanced at his watch and said, "Let's stop here for today."
They both looked at him.
"So early." Yuji Itadori looked a little regretful. He had finally grasped the trick.
"Staying up until tomorrow won't make much progress, please keep your feet on the ground." Nanami Kento looked a little depressed, "Besides, today is Sunday, which is not my working hours. At least I can catch up after get off work."
The resentment of office workers made the two of them shudder.
Is this the master of time management? Yoshi, it’s worth learning! 】Kanda Kanon's eyes are full of respect, and it is really worth learning that she leaves work on time.
Time flies, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.
At night, cicadas chirped outside the window. Kanda Kanon sat at the desk, picked up the calendar, and drew a line on the date.
There was still about a month until the real person appeared, and she hadn't told Gojo Satoru about it yet. In the previous juvenile detention center incident, she used her experience in another world as an excuse, and this time was no exception.
I'm a little anxious, but many things can only be explained in person, but...
For several days, even the shadow of Gojo Satoru was not seen! Damn the curse world, to what extent are they going to exploit him!
The hand holding the pen tightened, and the fingertips quickly turned white due to the force.
"Knock knock knock--" There was a knock on the door. Kanda Kanon shuddered, walked over and opened the door in confusion.
"Who...Teacher?" The moment she opened the door, she only saw someone's chest. When she looked up, the silver-white hair was a little dazzling.
"Good evening. You haven't slept yet~" Gojo Satoru laughed heartlessly.
[…Look at what you’re asking. You’ve already knocked on the door. Does it matter whether I’m asleep or not? 】Kanda Kanon secretly complained.
The corner of Gojo Satoru's mouth curled up, and he raised his hand and shook the bag he was holding.
"I've brought you a cake." He stuffed the bag into her hands. The sweet smell inside was still clearly smelt through the outer packaging.
[I just mentioned it casually, but you actually bought it. 】Kanda Kanon was a little surprised, but...
But a trace of joy rose involuntarily in my heart.
"You have no idea how annoying those old guys are. They give me tasks one after another, and my back is hurting." Gojo Satoru pounded his shoulder and complained in a disgusted tone.
"Do you want me to make it for you? Even though I'm like this, my cooking skills are still very good." Kanda Kanon smiled and took the small cake. She felt that all the depression of the past few days was swept away.
Gojo Satoru stared at her little arms and legs in thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, but it's late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
The man, who was a head taller than her, grabbed her head with one hand and rubbed it roughly.
"Good night." Gojo Satoru said gently, then turned and left.
But a pair of small hands grabbed his sleeves.
"Teacher." Kanda Kanon's voice was steady and gentle, without revealing a single flaw.
But her inner voice penetrated into Gojo Satoru's ears, and all the hidden emotions and secrets were exposed without reservation.
Gojo Satoru stopped.
"Can I trust you?" The girl's voice was filled with laughter, making her words sound like a joke.
If someone knows nothing about this sudden sentence, he will definitely be confused.
But Gojo Satoru understood, so he changed his usual playful look and did not take her words as a joke.
The moonlight shone on his body, and the cold light made the man without a smile look a little scary, but his voice was steady.
"Of course." These two short words seemed to carry a weight of a thousand pounds. He sounded serious as if he was promising something.
Kanda Kanon was stunned for a moment, and finally all her emotions turned into a smile. She walked forward, put her arms around his waist, and threw herself into his arms as if absorbing something.
I have to say, she was kind of happy.
Gojo Satoru resisted the urge to take a step back; her actions made him a little conflicted.
"Aren't you on good terms with me over there? There's no need to be so formal. There shouldn't be that much difference between him and me." Gojo Satoru raised his voice and returned to his usual self. His voice with a smile sounded like a joke.
What he meant was that you could trust me as much as you trusted him.
Kanda Kanon understood, but did not explain. She let go of his hand, grabbed his arm and dragged him into the house.
"I have something to tell you, come in and sit for a while."
The door was half open, and the girl was smiling and inviting him. Gojo Satoru's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. He should follow her in. It was obvious what she wanted to say.
But why? I don’t want to go in.
[I feel like this person has misunderstood something. This trust is not because of him in another world, but simply...]
[Because you are Gojo Satoru.] 】
The only reason I told him was simply because he was Gojo Satoru. The one who reigns supreme among all magicians is the strongest one capable of changing the future.
If you want to change the future, this man is the key. Although some of her words were cruel, even if she told others about the future, there would be no way to defeat those enemies.
But when these words fell into Gojo Satoru's ears, they took on a different meaning.
He no longer hesitated and followed her strength and walked in.
"I'm a little shy." Gojo Satoru said in a coquettish voice, "Do you have any black tea? Tea is a better match for cake."
"…There's only water, drink it if you want."
"You are so cold~"
