Chapter 85: Drop out of school, I want to drop out of school! ! !
This high-end western restaurant located in the center of the commercial street is not only luxuriously and stylishly decorated, but also has a menu full of incomprehensible nouns. There is a long list of words that I don't recognize except for "steak".
Sitting on a chair that exuded a unique woody scent, Kanda Kanon flipped through the menu with a calm expression. He seems calm on the surface, but he is not.
The string of zeros on the menu represented the sky-high priced dishes that a poor girl like her had never eaten before.
This man is super rich.
Kanda Kanon is so envious that she is scratching her head. She eats whenever she says she wants to and treats whenever she says she wants to. She is so cool and handsome. Can she be allowed to act in two episodes?
But you would be a waste if you don’t try it. Although I can’t understand the menu, the categories are still very clear. Kanda Kanon randomly ordered one of each and waited for the blind box to be opened.
[But then again, it's a bit strange that this man suddenly recruited me. If he is Gojo Satoru himself, then isn't the school he is in a school that specializes in training sorcerers? I remember this is what was written in the book when Yuta Otsutsukoshi first entered school. 】
It's really strange. Although she traveled to this novel, it is certain that she does not have any super powers.
Could it be because of this novel? No, but he obviously can't see it, or does he have some ability to confirm whether I have special powers? 】
Kanda Kanon didn't show it on her face, but her brain was working like crazy.
The novel that only she can see should be the golden finger that comes with time travel. She may have got a script that records the future, and although this man couldn't see the novel, he sensed something, so he came to recruit her.
Thinking of her identity as an illegal resident, Kanda Kanon's heart moved.
[…But eating is the most important thing!] 】
The tempting aroma made her drool, and Kanda Kanon picked up the knife and fork and started to eat with relish.
Gojo Satoru observed the girl opposite him calmly. He pulled away a corner of the bandage, revealing one eye and took a quick look. The girl was very pretty but it was obvious that she was not brought up in a pampered environment. She was wearing jeans that had been washed to a pale color, a cheap, unknown long-sleeved shirt, and small wounds on her fingers that had not yet healed. She looked out of place in this store.
However, she was not embarrassed at all. She used the knife and fork skillfully, and put the food on the plate into her mouth quickly but politely and chewed it.
His mouth was stuffed full like a little hamster hoarding food, his beautiful and lively eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked very satisfied.
It was just a meal, but the happiness and joy that she could not hide made the people who watched her laugh along with her involuntarily.
He raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, flattening the corners of his mouth that were raised subconsciously. Gojo Satoru coughed lightly and said, "So, how are you thinking about it?"
"But I'm not a sorcerer, and I'm not very powerful. Why did you accept me as a student?" Kanda Kanon looked at him curiously, as if she was really confused.
However, the information she wanted to hear most was whether this man knew about the golden finger she possessed.
The man sitting opposite had no expression on his face. He just casually crossed his legs and sat there with his arms around his chest. The white bandage covering his eyes made his hair stick up, revealing the close-shaved stubble underneath. Even though half of his face is covered, you can still tell from his outline that he is a handsome guy.
However, as the strongest sense of oppression, only those who are close to him can experience it. Throughout her life, Kanda Kanon has seen many people who approached her with malicious intent, or vicious people who were not easy to mess with. But none of them were as threatening as the noble-looking man in front of him.
If the person who made her feel threatened in the past was a stray dog barking on the roadside, then the man in front of her was the top predator in nature. Just standing there silently and staring at you made her feel desperate.
This type of person who appears warm on the outside but is actually cold on the inside is what Kanda Kanon is least good at dealing with. Because you have no idea what he is thinking. He may be smiling at you one second, and point a gun to your head and want to kill you the next.
Although Kanda Kanon doesn't know Gojo Satoru yet, her intuition tells her that this is someone who can say "I'll kill you" with a smile.
The white-haired man opposite raised a nice smile, and his casual and sticky tone instantly shortened the distance between him and people, making people feel that he was very approachable.
"Of course it is—" Gojo Satoru waved his fingers mysteriously, "I think you have a good eye!"
The air was quiet for a moment, and Kanda Kanon's tense nerves almost broke.
[…I felt like a greasy uncle trying to strike up a conversation on the street. If he hadn’t treated me to a meal, I would have just walked away. 】
[I really don’t understand whether this man is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. 】
...Is that so? But isn't it too much to secretly say that he is stupid? Gojo Satoru pouted. He thought it was a good joke to bring the two closer, but he didn't expect to be criticized so badly.
But then again, if this girl approached him deliberately and used retreat as a means of advancing to achieve her goal, that would be too much.
Even if you can act on the surface, can you control your inner voice?
After just one meal with her, most of the suspicion in my heart disappeared. When Gojo Satoru realized this, his heart sank.
It's so contradictory. This girl is weird in every way, but I just can't feel any dislike for her.
But think about it carefully, would there really be someone stupid enough to send a weak child who has the ability to predict the future to him?
Maybe he was a little too suspicious, and approaching him might be to convey something to him.
Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru no longer hesitated to smile, raised the corners of his mouth and spoke again.
"The Tokyo school is a good place. Not only is the tuition free, but there is also extra income!" Gojo Satoru offered an attractive condition.
After all, this girl looks like she is short of money.
"But as far as I know, the extra income is also the reward for completing missions. Do you think I look like I can defeat the cursed spirit?" Kanda Kanon spread her hands to show her small body, "And I want to go to high school rather than technical high school."
The girl smiled politely, and Gojo Satoru groaned.
"How about this, if you come to the Tokyo school, I will pay for you the scholarship out of my own pocket." Gojo Satoru leaned his arms on the table, supported his chin with his hands crossed, and continued to offer tempting conditions.
"…Why would you go to such lengths to get me admitted?" Kanda Kanon asked curiously, hiding the inquiry in her eyes.
Even though Gojo Satoru really wanted to tell her why, and even wanted to confront her directly, he couldn't do that.
Because every time he tried to speak out what he heard in his heart, he could feel the constraints forced upon him.
It is not easy to reach a bond with another person, and Gojo Satoru is now unsure whether this girl is a friend or an enemy. The restraints didn't shut him up, and while it looked like he could speak, he wasn't sure how the restraints would work once he spoke.
The risk was too great, and this girl seemed to know nothing about it. Gojo Satoru was a little confused.
Could it be that she really thinks this world is a novel? She always talks about novels in her mind. Does she feel that she is in the world of novels?
Gojo Satoru, who previously firmly believed that the novel she was talking about was a vehicle for predicting the future, is no longer sure.
"Hahaha, there's no reason. Just think of it as food spilled. You're not my fan." Gojo Satoru responded casually without even wanting to make an excuse.
There was no point and he didn't need to explain so much. If he wasn't unsure whether there was something wrong with the child, he would have forced her back for interrogation long ago.
It's not uncommon for him to encounter people who disguise themselves as innocent magicians and approach him with malicious intent. Gojo Satoru, whose head is worth 100 million when he is born, shows that he has seen a lot.
Of course, when he grew up, fewer and fewer people attacked him. No one wanted to be an enemy of the strongest sorcerer. Even the brainless cursed spirits did not dare to set foot in the places where he left filth after using his magic.
Kanda Kanon saw Gojo Satoru's perfunctory attitude and thought that this guy really didn't even bother to pretend.
"...Indeed, but Mr. Gojo, wouldn't it be better for you to use yourself as bait?" Kanda Kanon deliberately lowered her head and raised her eyes, her upturned peach blossom eyes looking affectionate, "After all, it's Fan Sa, if possible I would like to hear you say something else..."
Gojo Satoru threw his head back at the girl's sudden aggression.
"…Did I say anything to make you angry?"
"No."
"That's right. I think it's okay."
[What a difficult guy. It turned out to be a wrong choice to talk to him. Although there is a script for this world, I don't need to participate in it. 】
[There is nothing you can't get in this world as long as you have money. Even if I don't have an identity information in this world, I can still solve it with money. 】
As an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, she has seen many things that have overturned her worldview.
Moreover, instead of dealing with the dangerous man in front of her, she might as well find a way to get the money to solve the problem.
...An illegal immigrant with no identity information? Gojo Satoru frowned. It didn't look like he was acting. Could it be that he really was a traveler from another time?
Even Gojo Satoru began to have doubts.
"Excuse me sir and ma'am, this is the last dessert."
When they were suspicious of each other, the waiter's words interrupted their thoughts.
Kanda Kanon's eyes lit up. The last dessert turned out to be strawberry cake, her favorite dessert.
In the past, every year on her birthday, the director’s mother would bring back a piece of strawberry cake from the best store in the county, and it was something she looked forward to every year.
But I didn’t get to eat the strawberry cake this year.
Kanda Kanon picked up the fresh strawberry on the fork and put it into her mouth. It was the sweetest and juiciest strawberry she had ever eaten, and it must be a very expensive variety.
However, the strawberry cake in my memory is still more delicious, Kanda Kanon thought pickily.
The girl eating the dessert looked more satisfied and happier than before, as if the person who had just confronted him was not her. Her expression changed so quickly that it was jaw-dropping.
"Oh my..." Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and looked behind Kanda Kanon, "It's really disgusting to encounter this while eating."
【What? 】
Kanda Kanon looked back defenselessly, and then...
The harsh sound of chair legs scraping across the ground was heard, and Kanda Kanon almost fell to the ground.
I saw a couple who had just come in with snake-like monsters wrapped around them, but they had heads that looked somewhat like humans.
Her green skin was full of pits and pits, which was very disgusting. Just one look at Kanda Kanon made me almost vomit out everything I had just eaten.
"Ah... come to think of it, it's better not to stare at each other for so long." Gojo Satoru's teasing voice sounded from behind.
"Huh?" Kanda Kanon responded in confusion, and then looked into the eyes of the terrifying monster.
"Ah...ah...ah..." The hoarse and unpleasant voice made Kanda Kanon open her eyes wide in horror and her little face turned pale.
Because the monster rushed towards her.
"Most of the cursed spirits will attack you mindlessly if they find out that you can see them. It's really troublesome." Gojo Satoru held her shoulders and stood beside her.
Kanda Kanon subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and the man did not refuse.
The monster was very fast and appeared in front of us in an instant. However, the man next to him did not dodge at all, but just raised his hand.
"Bang!"
The people around them were unaware of anything, and only the two of them could hear the sound coming from the monster's body.
That was the sound of him piercing its body.
The purple blood-like liquid splashed all around, but only stopped on their bodies.
Everything happened so fast that it was over before Kanda Kanon could react.
[That is the cursed spirit...]
The girl's inner voice made Gojo Satoru pause.
“…Cursed spirits are born from the negative emotions of human beings. Wherever there are people, there must be cursed spirits.” Gojo Satoru pulled the chair next to her and sat next to her.
[Oh no, this world is more dangerous than I thought. 】Kanda Kanon lowered her head and said nothing.
Gojo Satoru is a dangerous man, but at the same time, he is also the man who makes people feel the safest.
His side is probably the safest place in the world.
"That's just a fourth-level cursed spirit, trash among trash. It won't do if you're afraid of that kind of thing." Gojo Satoru said with a teasing smile, "So, why don't you become my student? I promise that you can easily deal with those trash."
"Teacher." Kanda Kanon raised her head and looked directly at the man in front of her, calm as if he was a different person from before. "If I go to a technical high school, what do I need to prepare?"
Kanda Kanon did not make up any excuses. On the contrary, what she said would arouse suspicion. Her abnormality and her identity could not withstand investigation.
She just faced the cursed spirit and changed her mind. If what Gojo Satoru said was true and she could see, then the world outside was too dangerous.
No matter how powerful this man is, as long as she has a future script that only she can see, she can definitely become his partner.
We have to find a way to stay in this safest place.
"...You don't need to prepare anything. I'll take care of it for you." Gojo Satoru grinned. "Don't worry. I'm the strongest man in the world. I can do more than you can imagine."
This is a smart girl, Gojo Satoru thought, but he doesn't hate such a child.
Only smart people can live long.
"Gojo-sensei." Watching the man pay the bill and follow him out of the restaurant, Kanda Kanon tugged at his clothes and smiled brightly, "The conditions we made before still count~"
"Of course." Gojo Satoru patted her head with a sigh, "By the way..."
"What's your name?"
Finally remembering the most important thing, Gojo Satoru and Kanda Kanon looked at each other.
It’s enough that we haven’t even known each other’s names after chatting for so long.
Kanda Kanon, who suddenly began to doubt her decision, twitched her lips.
"My name is Kanda Kanon."
"Kane-chan~ What a cute name!"
[…How disgusting!] 】
At night, after settling Kanda Kanon, Gojo Satoru returned to the dormitory and sat on the edge of the bed replying to messages.
He asked Ijichi to investigate Kanda Kanon's information to see if he could find out anything.
"But I really thought too much. Although she looks two-faced, she doesn't look like a bad kid..." Gojo Satoru muttered to himself in the room.
“Boom boom boom—”
There was a sudden and urgent knock on the quiet door.
“Boom boom boom—”
The knocking on the door seemed to be getting faster and faster, as if it was asking for my life.
Gojo Satoru opened the door and the girl standing at the door was Kanda Kanon.
"What..." Gojo Satoru was interrupted before he could finish his question.
"Teacher!" Kanda Kanon had never been so panicked before. She was breathless and her face was ferocious as she shouted, "I want to drop out of school!!!"
“…Huh?” Gojo Satoru tilted his head.
I just brought her back in the afternoon, why is she clamoring to drop out of school in the evening?
"Da meyo." Gojo Satoru rejected her without any hesitation.
And he didn't even seem to want to explain why.
Kanda Kanon grabbed his collar and stuffed the scholarship she had received from him in the afternoon into his hands. It was a huge sum of money, but she didn't hesitate.
"It's just one afternoon, why not? I don't care, I don't care, I don't want to stay here any longer!"
Kanda Kanon felt a lump in her nose and tears rolled down her cheeks, looking so pitiful.
Gojo Satoru was swayed back and forth by her, but he still did not let go.
"No, you can't be so willful." Gojo Satoru pushed the money back, "You know, once sold, it cannot be returned."
"How can you force a sale? Are you a human trafficker?" Kanda Kanon cried even more miserably, "You idiot, stupid, unscrupulous teacher!!!"
[I’ve been fooled. This isn’t a script. It’s a death warrant leading to hell! Why, why did you agree to come to this crappy place without reading the whole thing in the first place! 】
The girl's inner cry made Gojo Satoru very curious.
What on earth made a girl like her become like this?
In the dead of night, a man and a woman were alone. Gojo Satoru, who had no concept of teacher ethics or gender differences, opened the door without hesitation.
"Don't be anxious, calm down. It's impossible for you to drop out of school. Your case has been reported to the principal. It may be very troublesome to drop out now. You have to at least explain the reason, right?" Gojo Satoru pushed the girl into the room and closed the door.
Kanda Kanon was forced to sit in front of the coffee table, lowering her head and remaining silent.
【explain? No, since you won’t agree, then I have to think of a way to force you to let me drop out of school…】
……Um?
Hearing this, Gojo Satoru became more and more curious.
