Chapter 94 What is jealousy?
Kanda Kanon's last memory was when she took off Gojo Satoru's sunglasses and looked directly into his blue eyes that were as bright as the stars in the sky.
Especially when her brain was dizzy, the stars in his eyes seemed to move, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
but……
"Ugh!" The hangover the next day made her feel completely exhausted.
Iji Chimitsu said he could forget his troubles, but he didn't say he would feel so uncomfortable the next day!
I felt like my whole body was hit hard, especially my head, which felt like it was going to split open.
"...I knew it." Looking at Kanda Kanon's condition, Gojo Satoru said sarcastically with a knowing look on his face.
"Private Marseille..." Ijichi apologized while cowering aside.
"Forget it, you rest here, I'll go by myself." Gojo Satoru had a calm expression and no emotion could be seen.
"Isn't it for extracurricular teaching?"
"I don't want to drag a drunk to the hills."
“…”
[Strange, is this person angry? Why is his words so sarcastic? 】
Hearing her thoughts, Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes: "You... don't remember what happened last night?"
"What's the matter?" Kanda Kanon replied dejectedly with a pale face.
“…Nothing.” Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses, took out a bandage from his pocket and wrapped it silently.
"Teacher, your mouth seems to be cracked..." Drink more water. Can you bring me a bottle as well? I'm so thirsty.
But halfway through his words, Gojo Satoru replied unhappily, "I was bitten by a dog."
After saying that, Gojo Satoru turned around and left the room.
[…Oh my, being bitten by a dog is like Gojo Satoru kissing the dog! 】There was a gleam of gossip in Kanda Kanon's eyes, and her brain, which was eroded by alcohol, was thinking about outrageous things.
She also didn't notice that when Gojo Satoru turned around, the wound on his mouth had disappeared.
Gojo Satoru, who hadn’t taken two steps, said: …
It's like throwing a wink to a blind man!
Finally, this extracurricular teaching ended so hastily.
After placing Kanda Kanon in the high school, Gojo Satoru and Ijichi went on to the next mission again.
[It’s strange that you didn’t take me with you.] 】Kanda Kanon complained in her heart.
After all, this man suspected that she wanted to monitor her, so what the hell was this placing a play?
I don't understand, but Kanda Kanon is very happy. The student ID she got was level 4, and she has never been allowed to participate in any missions until now. She wants to have a good rest while Gojo Satoru is not around.
However, at one o'clock in the morning, Kanda Kanon, with her eyes wide open, fell into deep thought.
"…Gojo Satoru is right. We really can't rely on cursed energy to fall asleep all the time."
I'm addicted to it. I can't sleep without it.
After a hangover and insomnia, the next day, Yuta Otsutsuka and others found a listless dumpling in the classroom.
"Is this Kanon?" Zenin Maki poked the white ball lying on the ground with her finger suspiciously.
"I remember she went on a mission with Wu... Was she injured?" Panda also squatted down to watch, "She was still injured even with Wu around. How powerful is that cursed spirit?"
"Salmon, salmon!" echoed Goumaki Ji.
"No..." Otsutsuki Yuta's expression was subtle, because even though she looked like this, her inner thoughts still reached his ears, "She probably has insomnia."
[I want to sleep, I want to sleep, I want to sleep...]
The mournful voice like a ghost demanding his life echoed in his mind. Yuta Otsutsukoshi swallowed his saliva. Even Rika, who had always been very obedient, began to get restless.
"Insomnia?" Zenin Maki frowned, "What did that idiot do?"
"Who knows? Nothing Wu does is strange." said the panda.
...So why did it become a denunciation of Gojo Sensei? Otsutsuki Yuta scratched his head embarrassedly.
However, the reason why Kanda Kanon suffered such a result was not only because of her own hangover, anxiety and insomnia, but also because of Gojo Satoru's repeated indulgence and sudden departure, which resulted in her severe withdrawal reaction.
"In short, she just can't sleep, right? Then just ask Ji for help and use a spell to make her fall asleep." Zenin Maki proposed a simple and crude solution with a calm face.
"...Hiss, that makes sense!" The panda made a circle with his arms.
"No, no, no, Goumaki-san's curse will hurt your throat and may even backfire on yourself!" Otsukotsu Yuta hurriedly stopped him.
"Wooden fish flower." Goujuanji shook his head.
Zenin Maki glanced at the heap lying on the ground and sneered, "It will indeed backfire, but it also depends on the opponent's level. Hanane is level 4, and now he looks like a loser, so even if Ji attacks him, he won't get hurt."
"…Is this true?" Kanda Kanon sat up suddenly, and a hint of expectation rose in her dull eyes.
"Is it really possible, Thorn-kun?"
Inumaki blinked and gave a thumbs up: "Salmon salmon!"
[Great! There is help!] 】
Kanda Kanon grabbed his raised hand with both of her own and shook it up and down: "Then I'll leave it to you, Ji!"
...This time even the honorifics disappeared, and the distance between them was shortened in an instant. The others were amazed at Kanda Kanon's shamelessness.
"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. From now on, just give me your throat medicine!"
[I'll use Gojo Satoru's card to support you!] 】
When Okkotsu Yuta heard his inner voice, he almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Cough cough cough!" Yuta Otsutsuka's pupils trembled. This sentence sounded terrible.
Looking at the excited girl, Inumaki Ji blinked and did not answer, but used his other hand to unzip the collar that covered his mouth.
"Go to sleep." The curse pattern on the side of his face was revealed, and Inumaki Satoru activated the ritual.
Then, Kanda Kanon rolled her eyes and fell on him.
"How is it, Ji, is your throat okay?" The panda looked at the sleeping girl and asked in a low voice.
After zipping up his pants, Goujuanji shook his head.
Seeing this, Zenin Maki also relaxed her frown.
"No wonder there was no backlash from Ji. Hanako is just too weak, and of course she didn't want to resist." Panda shook his head with emotion.
I don't understand why Gojo Satoru wanted to admit such a weak girl. So far, I don't see anything special about her.
"Really? How can one or two people spoil her like this?" Zenin Maki was shocked. "Technical college is not a place for her to play around. There is no mission, so we can't let her escape from tomorrow's training."
"Having said that, weren't you the one who first suggested asking Ji for help?" Panda smiled teasingly.
"...Very good, the one who will fight against me today is you!" Zenin Maki was covered in black aura.
Training... Otsutsukotsu Yuta's eyes flickered. Come to think of it, Kanda Kanon has always wanted to escape from the world of sorcery.
If her technique really can predict the future, then what she said about Gojo Sensei dying is true. You can imagine how powerful she is if she can kill the strongest being.
Gojo-sensei must have heard her thoughts and known her future when he recruited her, but...
Sensei Gojo was too casual, and when he asked, he only got instructions to take good care of Kanon, nothing else.
Is it really okay to just wait like this? Okkotsu Yuta was very worried.
"Are you going to send her back, Ji?" The panda's curious voice brought Yuta Okkotsu back to his senses.
At some point, Inugami Saki had already carried Kanda Kanon on his back.
"Salmon." Goujuanji nodded and walked outside.
...Send back, do you mean send back to the dormitory? Yuta Okkotsu's expression was a little subtle.
The next morning——
"Thorn~"
After a whole day of rest, Kanda Kanon was no longer the listless girl, but returned to being the shining and beautiful girl she used to be.
The beautiful girl Kanon carried a bag and ran excitedly towards Inugami Saki in the middle of the playground.
"Kumbu!" Inugami Ji also waved and greeted.
"Hey!" After putting the bag on the lawn, Kanda Kanon wiped the sweat off her face.
Then she laid out the contents of the bag one by one on the lawn.
"I've brought you something good! Throat medicine, energy drink and..." When she took out the last item, Kanda Kanon held it in her palm with a pious look on her face, "Super delicious strawberry cake!"
"This cake is super delicious, I tried it myself!" Kanda Kanon introduced enthusiastically.
[Speaking of which, it was Gojo Satoru who introduced this place to me. He said it was a new dessert shop that opened nearby. It must be said that this man’s taste in desserts is second to none! 】
After having a good sleep yesterday, Kanda Kanon, who used her free time to go out shopping, thought in agreement.
"Pickled caviar!" Yay!
Goujuanji put the throat medicine into his pocket and picked up the strawberry cake.
"There are portions for everyone, including drinks!" Kanda Kanon took out a lot more portions from the bag.
"...It looks very expensive. You haven't accepted any missions, right? Is that okay?" Zenin Maki took the cake with an awkward expression and asked with a frown.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Kanda Hana picked up a piece of cake with a fork and smiled with great satisfaction.
[It’s bad enough that you’ve trapped me in the technical college and prevented me from escaping, but can’t you just spend some money? Why does it feel so good to think that Gojo Satoru suspected me and had to give me the card to keep me? 】
Really using Gojo Sensei's card to support himself... Bah, what are you thinking! Yuta Okkotsu shook his head to stop himself from thinking too much.
But he couldn't swallow the cake in his mouth nor spit it out... Forget it, Yuta Otsutsuki swallowed the cake. Gojo Sensei himself had no objection, so why was he thinking about it here?
However, no one present expected that this was just the beginning.
"Thorn~"
At night, after Goujuan Ji opened the door, he saw a girl with a bright smile.
"I'm counting on you today too!"
Today...also? Gojuanji blinked.
…
"Go to sleep."
The next night.
"Thorn~"
After hurriedly putting away the large bag of throat medicine he had obtained during the day, Goujuanji opened the door again.
"I'm counting on you today too!"
"..." Goujuan Ji did not reply and silently took out his cell phone.
He tapped the screen quickly with his fingers, then handed the phone sideways to her.
[This is a spell, or a curse. Is it really okay to sleep with this? Is there anything wrong with your body? 】
This sentence has no effect on Inugami Satoru, but it may not be the case for Kanda Kanon.
It’s okay if it’s just once, but is it really okay to be cursed every day? Although he has never put it into practice, Goujuanji feels that it is not very feasible.
Besides, is it really okay to rely on a curse for something like sleep?
"Hmm..." Kanda Kanon pondered for a moment, "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. It's better to say that thanks to you, I can be full of energy every day!"
The black-haired girl's wet peach blossom eyes blinked, full of pleading.
"Compared to staying up all night without sleep, being cursed is nothing. I am a sorcerer after all. Don't you have to use curses when you fight every day? No problem!"
is that so? Kanda Kanon's evasive and twisted reasoning and her pitiful appearance made Inumaki Satoru begin to waver.
"…Go to sleep."
Is it really okay? Inujuan Ji supported the unconscious girl and sent her back again.
"The relationship between Hanane and Ji has been getting better and better recently." The panda sitting on the steps to rest looked into the distance with emotion, "Although Ji can't speak normally because of the curse, he is actually a cheerful type. It's not surprising that he can play with Hanane."
In the middle of the playground, Kanda Kanon and Inumaki Satoru were lurking on the ground, staring at the lawn.
"Now!"
“Salmon!”
The two men pounced on the grasshopper hiding in the grass.
“Yeah!”
"Pickled fish roe!"
Zenin Maki looked at the two people who were giggling around the grasshopper and silently complained, "Elementary school students?"
"Well, isn't it very happy?" The panda was happy to see it happen.
"Is Kanda-san still asking Goumaki-san to use spells recently?" Yuta Otsutsuka suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"...Perhaps, I made a very bad suggestion." Zenin Maki's eyes darkened, "I've already told you not to spoil her too much."
"...Indeed." Panda couldn't refute.
But then again, what exactly makes Kanda Kanon, who seems cheerful and lively, sleepless day and night?
Even... I have to rely on curses to fall asleep.
Otsutsukotsu Yuta knew it well, and Zenin Maki and Panda also noticed that something was wrong.
Time flies.
After being on a business trip for almost a week, Gojo Satoru finally set off back to the technical high school.
Sitting in Ijichi's car, Gojo Satoru fiddled with his phone without saying a word.
The interior of the car was unusually quiet, even depressing, and the serious Gojo Satoru frightened Ijichi.
Gojo Satoru during this period did make Ijichi feel a little strange. He often seemed to be thinking about something, and even spoke much less.
"Ijichi." Gojo Satoru called out in an unclear tone, his slender fingers casually hooking a corner of the bandage.
But Ichichi felt a chill on his back and responded loudly: "Yes!"
"What do you think it feels like to like someone?"
"Happy... eh?" Ijichi was startled, not knowing why but answering hesitantly, "Uh, like wanting to see her anytime, anywhere, and having a faster heartbeat or something like that?"
"Well... maybe I want to see her or I have something to ask her. My heartbeat is probably too fast because I have too much sugar or alcohol. Why must I like her?"
…So, why discuss this kind of issue with him? Yi Dizhi was at a loss.
"Do you want to be with her forever, or, or want to be closer to her?" Yidizhi answered carefully.
"Ah?" Gojo Satoru curled his lips, "Being together for a lifetime? How twisted is that. And even closer...perverted? We can do it even if we're not lovers. Is this also a reason to confirm whether I like her or not?"
...This is not okay, and that is not okay. How should he answer? Yidizhi was ashamed.
"Well, the easiest way to confirm whether you like someone is to see if you would get jealous if the other person behaves intimately with someone else." Ijichi smiled awkwardly.
"Jealous?" Gojo Satoru's expression was calm. "What does jealousy feel like?"
"..." Yidizhi felt a little heartbroken.
Indeed, a gifted person like Gojo Satoru will probably never have the chance to experience this kind of emotion in his lifetime.
"...Ha, you are so useless."
Yidizhi froze, with a sad face.
So don’t ask him this kind of question, he has never been in a relationship!
"But," Ijichi said with a bitter face, "that's all based on the fact that the other party also likes him. Otherwise, there's no point in thinking about it."
Ijichi sighed with deep understanding.
“Ijichi…” Gojo Satoru crossed his arms across his chest, his mouth drooping.
"Here." Yijichi looked up at the rearview mirror, then shrank his neck in horror.
"Just wait for me to slap you in the face."
"Why!!!"
It was already dark when they arrived at the technical high school. Gojo Satoru walked towards the dormitory while sending a message to Kanda Kanon.
[I'm back and brought you a gift! 】
After typing these words expressionlessly, Gojo Satoru opened the door. The room was pitch black and looked just like when he left. It seemed no one had been there.
During the drunken kiss that day, Gojo Satoru had been thinking about a question.
Why didn't he stop her with his bottom line?
He didn't see Kanda Kanon drunk, but was it because he indulged her too much that he didn't react?
...He himself didn't believe what he said.
“Forget it…” Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, “Now is not the time to think about these things.”
It doesn’t matter whether she likes me or not. Since she doesn’t remember it, just pretend it never happened.
The most important thing now is to solve future issues.
Gojo Satoru picked up his phone again and scrolled through the hot posts absentmindedly.
Kanda Kanon did not reply.
strangeness.
Five minutes later, Gojo Satoru stood at the door of Kanda Kanon's room.
He knocked on the door.
There were hurried footsteps coming from inside, and Gojo Satoru's expression eased a little, until...
He heard clearly what Kanda Kanon said.
"Ji~ I didn't expect you to come to me on your own today. That's so thoughtful!" Kanda Kanon said loudly to the person outside the door while excitedly opening the door.
But the person behind the door was not the one she thought.
"...Ji?" The white-haired man wearing sunglasses lowered his eyes to look at her, and uttered a word after a long time.
Things that are difficult for others to perceive are clear in Gojo Satoru's eyes.
He saw it at a glance.
During the time he was away, Kanda Kanon probably did this countless times.
So much so that her body was stained with the remnants of Inumaki Spine's curse power.
Gojo Satoru had never felt that other people's cursed power was so glaring.
A bit... an eyesore.
Under the sunglasses, the pair of blue eyes suddenly narrowed.
