Chapter 69 The Black Hole Opens Again
Geto Suguru, the last time I heard this name was a year ago. Their fate was doomed from the moment he planned the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and attacked the world of curse arts.
No, it should be that since the two of them parted ways ten years ago, there has been no going back.
For Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru was his only close friend, so after he was the one who carried out the execution, he did not hand the body over to Ieiri Shoko for disposal.
At least in the end, he hoped that Jay could leave peacefully.
but……
At some point, the only sounds left here were the chatting of Yuji Itadori and Junpei Yoshino. The laughter of the boys and the silence of the adults formed a sharp contrast.
Nanami Kento turned around and his eyes fell on Gojo Satoru. The white-haired man no longer had his usual frivolous look, his expression couldn’t be seen through the blindfold, but the straightened corners of his mouth made him look cold.
Kanda Kanon seemed to sense something, and the arm on her shoulder had been taken away without her noticing, and the man next to her also became unusually silent.
"Teacher?" The girl's voice, with a hint of doubt, brought Gojo Satoru back to his senses.
"Sorry..." Gojo Satoru suppressed all the emotions in his heart, raised his hand to pat her head, and said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't dealt with. You follow Nanami and don't run around."
Gojo Satoru raised his legs and walked in the direction that Kanda Kanon was looking at just now. There was no trace of Geto Suguru left on the road. The person who occupied his body had probably slipped away long ago.
However, since he has been around here, he must have left traces. That scum who dared to use Geto Xiayou's body...
"Better not let me catch you."
At dusk, the warm orange light fell on Gojo Satoru's body, but it could not dispel the coldness around him.
Gojo Satoru's sudden departure left them looking at each other in confusion. Only Nanami Kento, who knew everything, sighed.
He felt very sorry about what happened to Geto Suguru, but it was not easy for him to interfere in the matter, so it would be better to let Gojo Satoru solve it alone.
"Yoshino-san." Nanami Kento walked up to Yoshino Junpei and said, "I have a question to ask you about your matter. Is that okay?"
Yoshino Junpei raised his eyes and nodded after a long time.
In the end, Gojo Satoru did not come back.
At the suggestion of Yuji Itadori, Junpei Yoshino agreed to transfer to a technical high school. He had no regrets about leaving the school that had brought him nothing but pain.
More importantly, they actually found Ryoumen Sukuna's finger in Yoshino Junpei's house.
Perhaps only a cursed spirit could enter his house silently and without leaving any trace.
Fortunately, the real person has been exorcised by Gojo Satoru and the crisis has been resolved.
The technique he obtained through the transformation of his body by the real person was probably just a part of the real person's joyful killing.
But no matter what, Junpei Yoshino was reborn, and in order to protect the things he cherished, he decided to change himself.
It’s a nice day today, maybe because it rained yesterday. The air is especially fresh, mixed with a hint of earthy smell, which makes people feel reassured.
Kanda Kanon looked at the three people walking side by side in front of her, and felt inexplicably empty in her heart.
That place does not belong to me, and this world is not the one where I should stay.
She saw the real Gojo Satoru in her dream. That might be the power of the book, which means... she has hope of going back.
Although everyone here is very nice, Kanda Kanon just wants to go back there as soon as possible, because that is the world that belongs to her.
When I returned to the high school, the moon was already up.
Late at night, in the dead of night, Kanda Kanon solemnly placed the books in place. She knelt on the floor with a solemn expression.
Taking a deep breath, she shouted, "Open sesame!"
Her voice echoed in the room, and then it fell into silence.
Book:……
Hanane: ...
"Damn it, I failed!" Kanda Kanon gritted her teeth, looking disappointed.
Taking another deep breath and exhaling slowly, Kanda Kanon looked determined, took out a straight branch she had picked up on the road, pointed it at the book and shouted, "Alohomora!"
Book:……
Hanane: ...
"Damn it, this won't work!" Kanda Kanon threw the branch to the ground, unable to cry.
Wasn't her kneeling posture pious enough? In just half an hour, she tried countless methods and even used spells from various TV dramas she had watched before.
But this broken book still didn't make any sound, as quiet as if it were dead.
Kanda Kanon is also a bit dead.
"Don't hide here and keep silent. I know you are here. Can you please send me back? I will do anything!"
After beating the book up in her heart, Kanda Kanon still threw herself beside it, kneeling down and begging it crying like a loser.
Book:……
Hanane: I can’t bear it anymore!
With a bang, he lifted the book high and threw it to the ground, where it lay together with the branch.
“…Forget it, let’s try sleeping first. Maybe I can still meet Satoru.” After struggling for a while, Kanda Kanon finally decided to try the method she used when she dreamed of Gojo Satoru before.
Let her think about it. The first step is to put on a nightgown, the second step is to cover herself with a blanket, and the third step is to close her eyes...
And what happened that day?
...That's right.
Kanda Kanon opened her eyes and picked up the book from the ground with a wooden face.
By the way, she seemed to have opened the book to the page about Gojo Satoru in the DK version that day, so just in case, this step has been restored.
But why does this scene give me the feeling of asking people to come over for dinner after a quarrel... so annoying!
Kanda Kanon frowned and opened the book, but...
"Ah?" She jumped up suddenly and flipped the pages of the book quickly.
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, but the book remained the same.
That's right, it's completely blank.
The story of the DK version of Gojo Satoru is still recorded on it, but everything from the juvenile detention center to Rokugo, and then to the current incident involving Yoshino Junpei, has disappeared.
Not only that, but even the content that follows begins to become blurry.
This is the second time that the words in the book have disappeared or become blurred. This has happened in previous worlds as well.
That is a problem that arises after various points in time when reality no longer matches the content of the book.
This book records the future of this world, so is it disappearing now because she changed the future? The vague part is the future that becomes uncertain. And there was no change at the time when she did not intervene.
With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, Kanda Kanon closed her eyes uneasily, trying to fall asleep.
For some reason, she had a very bad feeling.
It was a good and peaceful sleep without any dreams. The sound of birds singing could be heard and Kanda Kanon woke up but she was not happy at all.
I restored everything as best as possible, but I still couldn't dream of Gojo Satoru again. What went wrong?
Until the next day, when sitting in the high school classroom, Kanda Kanon was still thinking.
"Good morning, everyone!" Gojo Satoru flashed in from outside the door, with his usual unruly behavior and tone, and there was no sign of the abnormality from yesterday.
"I have good news. There's a new transfer student coming today!" Gojo Satoru clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to him. "We've gained a lot this year. Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the new student!"
"Welcome!" Only Yuji Itadori joined in the applause.
"...Why are there so many transfer students?" Nobara Kugisaki crossed her legs with disinterest.
Megumi Fushiguro also looked indifferently at someone having fun on the podium, without saying a word.
And Kanda Kanon was also immersed in her own world, oblivious to what was happening outside.
"Everyone is so indifferent, and the teacher is so sad." Gojo Satoru pouted his lips in an affectation, but silently stared at the dazed Kanda Kanon.
It's really strange. Normally, this child would be the first one to jump up and cheer. What happened today?
Could it be... that you care about the man named Zuosuo?
When Gojo Satoru chased after him yesterday, he had already disappeared. Although he was very unhappy, Gojo Satoru really had no way to find him.
He will definitely take back Jay's body, no matter how difficult the road ahead is.
Gojo Satoru didn't show it on the surface and still looked playful. He kept everything suppressed deep in his heart.
[Oh, is it because my sleeping posture is wrong that I can’t dream of enlightenment? Why don’t we try different positions tonight…】
The sudden voice rang in their minds, and both Gojo Satoru, who was introducing Yoshino Junpei on the stage, and Kugisaki Nobara and Fushiguro Megumi, who were sitting below, staggered.
...Who are you dreaming about? Does Satoru refer to Gojo Satoru?
The boy and girl widened their eyes. Is this what they thought?
No, it’s not what you think! There is no point in arguing after realizing the five points.
"Kane!" Kugisaki Nobara turned around and shouted, "Come to think of it, you have a boyfriend, right?"
Kanda Kanon was startled by her, and when she came to her senses, all eyes in the classroom were focused on her.
This isn't some standard romance discussion at a girlfriends' pajama party, so why are you suddenly asking this question?
Kanda Kanon was a little confused about how to introduce her.
[What a tricky question, how should I explain it? I can’t say that my boyfriend is Gojo Satoru…】
If you say it out loud, you will definitely be misunderstood!
But if Kanda Kanon didn't say anything, they would have misunderstood.
Could this be the secret love affair between the unscrupulous teacher and his student? ? ?
Fushiguro Megumi's face was as dark as lacquer: "People can't, at least they shouldn't..."
Teachers who hit students are such scumbags!
"Sure enough, your humanity needs to be restored, you shameless teacher!" Kugisaki Nobara snapped her fingers with a fierce look.
…Is this the right word to use here? The smile on Gojo Satoru’s face froze.
How should I explain that I am not myself? As expected, Kanda Kanon is a troublesome child.
"...Actually, my boyfriend is in another world." Kanda Kanon shook her head sadly.
[But, for the teacher's sake, I'd better not say it. It would be bad if someone misunderstood me. Where in this world can I find a boyfriend to explain this to me? 】
Kanda Kanon did not lie, her boyfriend was indeed in another world. For the sake of Gojo Satoru's reputation, she said this very ambiguous statement.
only……
"Yes, it's time for him to go to another world and reflect on himself." Kugisaki Nobara looked even angrier, and murderous aura burst out like flames.
[I’m angry, why!] 】Kanda Kanon was dumbfounded.
Ah... this is really hard to explain. While they were not able to react, Gojo Satoru pulled Kanda Kanon and fled the scene.
The wind was whistling in her ears, and it took Kanda Kanon two steps to catch up with Gojo Satoru's one step. Her panting made Gojo Satoru stop.
"That was a close call. I almost got killed." Gojo Satoru ran to the vending machine near the teaching building, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead exaggeratedly, and let out a long sigh.
[So, why do you take me with you when you escape?] 】
She didn't know why he suddenly ran away, and she didn't understand why he took her, Kanda Kanon, with him. She looked at the man in front of her speechlessly.
"Teacher, did you bring me out to say something?" Kanda Kanon asked after taking a deep breath.
Gojo Satoru rubbed the back of his neck. He didn't know why he brought her out, so he subconsciously pulled her away.
The question he wanted to ask went around in his mouth, but Gojo Satoru still didn't ask it. The nature of some words changes once they are spoken, especially when there are constraints and you cannot express them directly. He also doesn't want to be someone who uses students to achieve his goals.
He investigated the sealing conditions of the Prison Gate, and after seeing the results, he understood why the person behind the scenes wanted to use Geto Suguru's body.
But now that we know about it, there is nothing to be afraid of. The person behind the scenes is just a grasshopper in autumn and will not be able to jump for a few days.
"No, I just haven't come to see the teacher recently, and I feel a little lonely~" Gojo Satoru raised his voice frivolously, speaking in a joking tone that everyone could understand.
Gojo Satoru touched her head as if he were touching a small animal.
But after saying this, his voice became a little more stable: "Are you okay being alone?"
Kanda Kanon blinked and took the hand above her head into her own.
"I'm not alone." She smiled mischievously, "Of course, the teacher is not alone either."
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow in surprise and swallowed what he was about to say. He raised the corner of his mouth and hooked his hand around hers.
"Really... So what should I do next?" Gojo Satoru gave her the choice.
It is her freedom to say whatever she wants or not.
"Hmm..." Kanda Kanon fell into deep thought.
[Next is the attack by Hanamika and the curse masters at the exchange meeting. But essentially they want to get the finger and the Nine Phases Diagram that the academy gave them, but without the real person, it is a question whether they will still come...】
[However, Gojo Satoru will be there for the exchange meeting at any time, so there is no need to worry too much. 】
Due to force majeure, Gojo Satoru has finished listening to the future.
This...can't be blamed on him, blame the restraints! Gojo Satoru was helpless. What he said was that the choice was hers, but now it sounded like an excuse.
The breeze blew through the hair of the two people, and there was a slight fluctuation in the air.
As always, accidents come quietly. Gojo Satoru raised his head suddenly and looked to her side.
"……Book?"
Gojo Satoru's whisper made Kanda Kanon's heart skip a beat.
"What...what?" Kanda Kanon turned her head and looked in the direction he was looking. When she saw what was over there clearly, her pupils couldn't stop trembling.
The book, which was usually as quiet as a chicken, floated behind her at some point, with one page open and a black hole slowly forming in the middle.
A familiar yet unfamiliar scene flashed through Kanda Kanon's mind.
[This is the black hole that allowed me to travel to this world! 】
How could Kanda Kanon not recognize it? That was the black hole that took her away from her peaceful life. How could she forget it?
She couldn't think any further because her body was sucked by a suction force and moved towards the black hole.
Gojo Satoru's face darkened, and he grabbed her arm forcefully, pulling her back into his arms.
"Where do you want to take my lovely student?" Gojo Satoru's low and threatening voice sounded. He held Kanda Kanon with one hand and raised the other hand towards the book.
There was no way he would let it take her away without his permission. Who knew where it would lead to.
The red light condensed in his hands, and the power they burst out at this moment attracted the attention of the senior experts.
Could it be another enemy attack? Those who had experienced Geto Suguru's One Hundred Demons Night Parade case, including the new first years, all gathered here.
Kanda Kanon hugged Gojo Satoru's waist tightly, tensing her whole body and not daring to relax even for fear that she would be sucked away by this unreasonable book again in the next second.
"Teacher!" Kanda Kanon's crying voice made Gojo Satoru hold her hand even tighter.
[Save me! I don’t want to travel through time again! If I get dragged to the battlefield, I'll be dead! 】
The girl in his arms obviously didn't want to go with it, so there was no need to hesitate. The red light in Gojo Satoru's hand became even brighter.
"Reverse technique—"
Before he could finish his words, the suction of the black hole suddenly disappeared, and a pair of hands stretched out from it.
Gojo Satoru and Kanda Kanon were both stunned.
"Really? This hole is too small. Can't it be made bigger?" An impatient voice came from inside. The hands were placed on the edge of the black hole and pulled outwards. The book trembled silently, and then the black hole expanded.
Then a flash of white came into view, blue eyes twinkling behind sunglasses, a familiar black uniform, a familiar voice, a familiar look.
This person is clearly——
"Wu!" Kanda Kanon opened her mouth and shouted subconsciously.
Gojo Satoru, who had just emerged from the cave, stepped on empty air and fell on Kanda Kanon's back.
And Gojo Satoru, who was holding her, had to bear the weight of two people.
The three of them were stacked on top of each other, almost squeezing out Kanda Kanon's internal organs.
After seeing the scene clearly, the 17-year-old Gojo Satoru grabbed his wife and pulled her towards him, but the 28-year-old Gojo Satoru had not yet let go of her other arm.
So, Kanda Kanon, who had just been squeezed, experienced the pain of almost having her arm pulled apart this time.
"Let go, uncle. Don't hit other people's girlfriends." The young boy Gojo Satoru raised his chin and glared at him with a bad tone.
…He really is exactly the same as before. The adult Gojo Satoru miraculously pulls up his eye patch, but…
"You really have the personality of a brat. Have I ever been so childish before?"
Be it the name or the attitude, it seems like a demonstration against him.
Kind of funny.
"There are two teachers?" Yuji Itadori, who rushed over, rubbed his eyes and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Everyone in the college was petrified watching this scene.
"...Can you pull me out first before making a fuss?" Another voice came from the cave.
"Huh? He's busy. Can't he come out by himself?" the young Gojo Satoru replied unhappily.
Then, another person came out from inside.
She had her hair tied into a bun with a wisp of bangs on her forehead, a black technical college uniform, and wide, lantern-legged pants.
"Sugaru!" The series of surprises made Kanda Kanon grin from ear to ear.
Xia Youjie looked at her and slowly smiled: "I'm glad you're okay, Hanane."
"...Jie?" Under the eye mask, the pair of blue eyes were full of surprise.
The air fell into silence.
