Chapter 98 Non-Existent Memory
"That's right, I'm as weak as a piece of glass. So, treat me as gently as you would treat a delicate flower, Wu Jun~"
Looking at Gojo Satoru's smug face, Kanda Kanon couldn't bear it any longer.
The black-haired girl was no longer timid. She puffed out her chest, raised her head, and put her hands on her hips, with a smile on her face that was even more smug than his, as if she had caught something, and her arrogance was intimidating.
"Otherwise I'll die in front of you, and you'll stay here for the rest of your life!" Kanda Kanon's smile and tone were sickeningly sweet, but her words were full of sarcasm.
“Huh~ How dare you say that.” Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth, his smile sinister and dark energy emanating from his body, “Yes, death will not let you die, but…”
"Half-dead is still okay!"
"You vicious man!"
"Ha! You're just a piece of trash, and you want to order me around? Dream on!"
"Devil, demon!"
“Hahaha, thank you for the compliment~”
“Wow!!!” Kanda Kanon was so angry that her face turned red.
…Is this some kind of elementary school quarrel? By the way, isn't it a bit too much to just ignore him like this? Xia Yujie twitched his mouth.
"Ding Ding——" the cell phone rang and Xia Yujie answered the call.
"I understand. I'll go over now."
The call was from the secretary asking him to receive a "guest". Xia Yujie closed his eyes and agreed.
"I have to go out for something. You can use anything here. You're welcome." Xia Yujie returned to his usual hypocritical smile.
"Oh, are you really okay without looking at us? You should be wanted by the curse world now." Gojo Satoru held down Kanda Kanon's head to prevent her from resisting, and turned his head to say in a sarcastic tone.
Xia Youjie shrugged: "I really want to know if there is any way to lock you up. If you want to fight, I will accompany you, but Xiao Hanane next to you may not be able to bear it."
"You are threatening me too?" Gojo Wuqi laughed.
"No." Xia Youjie smiled, "When I was curious and brought her back, I had already lost. Do whatever you want. Anyway, I can't stop you, but..."
"It would be nice to take one or two people with you before you die." Geto Suguru glanced at Kanda Kanon and turned away.
This girl's magic skills are beyond his imagination. Others summon cursed spirits, but she summons Gojo Satoru. How can he fight her?
Now it’s the Gojo Satoru of the past, so if we keep pressing on, the present or future Gojo Satoru will appear.
Geto Suguru was quite eager for her technique, but he didn't want to fight a losing battle.
Fortunately, she has not yet been able to control this powerful ability, and there is still a glimmer of hope.
[…This is definitely a threat, but the target of the threat is me, not Gojo Satoru. 】Kanda Kanon hid behind Gojo Satoru and grinned at Geto Suguru's back.
If I die, you won't be able to live either. Xia Youjie was almost about to say this.
What a scheming man! Knowing that it was she who brought Gojo Satoru here, he threatened her with her life to keep Gojo Satoru under control!
"…Am I a dog that needs to be tied up?" Gojo Satoru muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
"Now that Jie said that, what are you going to do next?" Gojo Satoru patted Kanda Kanon's little head, "Do you want to go back to the technical high school? I'll take you back."
“…No, I can’t go back.” Kanda Kanon pursed her lips.
"Why, are you going to follow Jay around the world?"
"How is that possible!" Kanda Kanon said unhappily.
[That crappy novel always causes me trouble!] 】Kanda Kanon looked very bad.
Although she didn't want to stay here, she couldn't leave.
It would be unwise to take Gojo Satoru out openly or to leave him here and run away alone.
That way she could make Gojo Satoru from the past appear in the future and it would be impossible to hide the fact.
Although she has no control over this novel, judging from the results, this is her ability. Such a buggy ability would be a thorn in the eyes of others no matter how you look at it. It was too conspicuous and would be detrimental to her plan to stay away from the world of sorcery.
Moreover, now that she has nothing, she can't even escape from the world of curse. Am I going to become a beggar?
Damn Geto Summer Oil!
[We have to find a way to get rid of this Gojo Satoru! 】
Send away... What an unlucky thing to say! Gojo Satoru snorted in dissatisfaction.
As expected, this guy's technique is to be able to see things in the past and the future. Not only can it travel through time and space, but it can also bring specific people to its side.
But it seems that this ability is not controllable yet. If the day comes when she can control it... it will be a disaster.
But it’s none of his business, let him fend for himself.
"Forget it if you don't want to go back." Gojo Satoru said indifferently, "It's up to you, then don't bother me anymore."
"Where are you going?"
"Going out? Since we're in the future, of course I have to read the ending of the manga I'm following!" Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course.
Even if he heard her inner thoughts, he was not going to help her hide it. That guy Jay is really funny. He wants to tie him down with this idiot. Is he kidding me?
"…Do you have money?"
“…”
Kanda Kanon delivered a fatal blow.
[Has this person forgotten that he was naked when he came here?] 】
But thanks to this, Gojo Satoru was stopped. In this modern society, you can't get anywhere without money.
"Hey, give me some money." Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand with a gloomy face, and the impolite lion opened his mouth wide.
[Is this some street thug?] 】
"Do I look like I'm rich?" Kanda Kanon took out the lining of her empty pockets. "All my things have been taken away by Geto Suguru, so the most important thing to do now is to get my luggage back!"
"Come on, use your invincible six eyes to help me get it back!"
“…Can you please stop referring to my six eyes as a dog’s nose?” Gojo Satoru said in annoyance, “It’s obvious that guy wouldn’t leave his stuff here!”
[…That makes sense!] Damn it, I was still thinking about getting my phone back and asking Gojo Sensei to save me! 】
"Tsk, so useless." Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and walked outside unhappily.
I'll just look around and see if there's anything I can use.
With this in mind, Gojo Satoru prepared to explore the house. This is not a stronghold of the Panxing Sect, but an independent villa in a remote suburb. Outside the window is a beautiful green scenery, as if it is surrounded by woods.
In short, they were locked up.
First of all, it is quite difficult to get out of this remote place, but it doesn’t matter since Geto Suguru has a flying spell.
Although it is not a problem for Gojo Satoru to walk to the city, the key is...
"Hey, can you please stop following me? It's so annoying!"
The follower behind me is so weak.
I can't just leave her here when I want to go back, but taking her out will make her a burden no matter how I think about it.
It’s really annoying!
"What are you talking about? You want me to leave you? Nonono!" Kanda Kanon said as she moved closer. "How can you have the heart to say such cruel words? You know how I can live without you!"
Just as the name suggests, in the enemy's lair, the only one she can rely on is Gojo Satoru.
Her sixth sense told her that she must not leave Gojo Satoru!
"That's enough, I'm not a mother hen..." Gojo Satoru frowned and ignored the follower behind him.
But just as he thought, there was nothing in the villa except the most basic furniture and daily necessities.
"Is it really better to leave this idiot here..." Gojo Satoru crossed his arms and thought seriously.
"Ah, meah!" Kanda Kanon reached out and hugged him, "Don't leave me!"
The moment she heard Gojo Satoru was going to abandon her, tears welled up in her eyes.
Gojo Satoru pushed the face that was stuck to him in annoyance: "Are you a dog that jumps on people when it sees them on the street? Stop pestering me!"
"Just treat me like a dog and don't abandon me!"
"When did I ever raise you?"
So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!
Gojo Satoru's patience was almost reaching its limit. If he hadn't wanted to keep her to send him back, he would have thrown her out long ago.
As a result, until dark, Geto Suguru didn't come back.
"That guy didn't even send me dinner, what a heartless guy." Holding an energy bar he found in the kitchen, Gojo Satoru watched TV in his room with a sour face, "Listen carefully, I have to go out tomorrow, don't try to stop me!"
Kanda Kanon sat obediently next to him and never left his side until now, even waiting at the door for him to go to the toilet.
"...Or you can just teleport with me. Can't we just clap our hands?" Kanda Kanon said weakly, "But you can't go to places with too many people. If you meet someone you know, I can't introduce you unless you are willing to cover your face..."
[It's a good idea to cover your face so you can leave here without worrying. 】
"Tsk, why should I listen to you?" Gojo Satoru bit off the energy bar and cast a cold gaze on her.
She seemed to be very familiar with his techniques, knowing Rokugan and the extended usage of Cang, but he couldn't teleport long distances yet, let alone carrying a burden.
Although he can't do it, he won't be stupid enough to say it out loud.
I don't know how many times we discussed it but it still ended in failure.
"I am bored……"
Late at night, Gojo Satoru lay on the bed and muttered to himself.
The mattress on the bed was very soft, so even if another person climbed up quietly, they could still feel it clearly.
"Hey, get out." Gojo Satoru glanced at the girl pretending to be dead next to him, and said in a bad and impatient tone, "You still want to sleep with me!"
"Hey, don't be angry." Kanda Kanon moved next to him and curled her eyes ingratiatingly, "I sleep very well and I will definitely not disturb you."
"Is that the question?" Gojo Satoru sighed, marveling at her shamelessness.
How afraid is this guy that he will run away? He sticks to him all day and can't be driven away.
"Then let's do this." Kanda Kanon grabbed the corner of his clothes and refused to let go, "Make a deal with me, okay?"
"Hmm? Tell me about it." Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows.
"You have to protect me before I can send you away. You can't refuse me to stay by your side, and you are not allowed to be mean to me..." Kanda Kanon counted on her fingers and got to the point before Gojo Satoru exploded, "So that I can tell you about Geto Suguru before you leave."
Gojo Satoru's eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "Why do I have to ask you? This is the future. It's not easy for me to know what happened."
"No, I won't talk about whether the people who know this will tell you." Kanda Kanon raised a confident smile, "But no one knows as much as I do, not even Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru."
"You are very confident."
"This has nothing to do with confidence. No matter how weak I am, I am still a sorcerer. Making a deal with you means I have reached a bond. If I break the contract, I will be punished. This way you will trust me, right?"
Hearing this, Gojo Satoru stood up, pinched his chin, and looked the girl in front of him up and down.
"It seems that you are not such a waste." Gojo Satoru chuckled, "I agree to this deal."
The girl was smarter than he thought, which was for the best, he didn't want to deal with a fool.
"But then again, there's no need for you to stick to me all the time. There's another room next door."
"No, didn't you just promise me?"
"I don't mind."
Gojo Satoru pouted, pulled the only quilt to cover himself, turned over and closed his eyes.
Kanda Kanon moved behind him with a frown on her face, grabbed the quilt with both hands and curled up into a ball, but still did not leave.
[I am safest only when I am with Gojo Satoru. No matter what, I have to find a way to survive. Face and dignity are worthless compared to life. I will do anything to survive. 】
Closing her eyes, Kanda Kanon tightly grasped the "life-saving straw" in her hand, refusing to let go.
[However, it would be nice if Gojo-sensei was here...]
Kanda Kanon's inner voice kept reaching him, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
It’s Gojo Sensei again… Meaning he’s not as good as that old man, right?
Gojo Satoru pulled the quilt tighter around him.
But the girl behind him got closer and closer, lying on his back as if absorbing something.
It is summer now, and this quilt is just a thin layer, just symbolic.
Therefore, Gojo Satoru can feel a lot. For example, the girl's soft body, pleasant smell, and lower body temperature than his...
Gojo Satoru felt very uncomfortable because he had never experienced this feeling before.
Gojo Satoru wrapped the quilt tighter again.
...It's so hot. Is he sick? Why is he covered so tightly? Gojo Satoru pulled the quilt aside and threw it behind him.
After a pause, Gojo Satoru turned his head.
"Falling asleep? You have such a big heart..." Gojo Satoru muttered speechlessly as he looked at the girl who kept clinging to him even after she fell asleep.
At the same time, in a remote airport in a small country, 27-year-old Gojo Satoru's face was even more terrifying than the weather outside.
"When can we go back?" Gojo Satoru asked in a low voice, leaning back on his chair at the airport.
"That Mr. Gojo." Ijichi swallowed nervously beside him, "It seems that there will be storms in the next two days. I'm afraid the flight will be delayed..."
Upon hearing this, the air around Gojo Satoru seemed to twist for a moment.
There was no one within a radius of ten meters. Gojo Satoru's low pressure and deterrence made people dare not set foot here.
Gojo Satoru slowly clenched his fists on his legs.
From this morning till now, the 'non-existent memory' has been continuously updated.
And Gojo Satoru also figured out what was going on. Kanda Kanon's technique was more buggy than he had imagined. She pulled her past self into the present.
That was my past self, so naturally everything I saw and heard was stored in my brain.
But the memories in his mind were like a movie playing, he just watched without any sense of reality. The memories are all from a first-person perspective, and one can clearly sense that it was the fifteen-year-old him. The things he experienced and the scenes he saw in the past are all engraved in Gojo Satoru's mind.
However, those scenes were no different from those in a movie, and he could only watch.
Although they are essentially the same person, that Gojo Satoru is an independent individual who is not under his control, and those memories are also things that Gojo Satoru did without his permission.
That wasn't him, at least that's what Gojo Satoru thought.
"That brat..." Gojo Satoru clenched his back teeth, feeling much more upset than when he saw the filth left by Inugami Satoru on her body before.
Gojo Satoru was disappointed by his arrogant and bad attitude towards Kanda Kanon in the past. Before I even catch the person, my past self has lowered my favorability towards him/her. Is there anything more frustrating than this?
It turns out there is.
Especially when Kanda Kanon stuck to him, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Gojo Satoru's pretty face looked frighteningly hideous.
But the country he was in had poor signal and was hit by a storm, so he couldn't even contact his partners at the High Commissioner.
"Damn, it's a bit far but it's not impossible to teleport there..." Gojo Satoru began to think about the possibility of sneaking back.
"...Huh?" Gojo Satoru suddenly opened his eyes wide, covering his forehead with his hands, his pupils trembling, "What are you doing, Kanon!"
"Mr. Gojo?" Ijichi was at a loss as he looked at the man who kept muttering to himself and emitting black energy.
Mr. Gojo has been acting strange since morning. When exorcising the cursed spirit, he was more reckless than ever, not only blasting all the surrounding buildings into rubble, but also lacking his usual relaxed and frivolous attitude.
The moment he realized he couldn't leave, Ichichi was so scared that he almost vomited.
This was definitely the angriest Gojo Satoru he had ever seen.
"Hey Ijichi." Gojo Satoru's voice was filled with so many emotions that it was creepy, "How can you forcibly remove someone's restraints?"
“…I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about this… Alas!” Gojo Satoru’s gaze made Ijichi burst into tears.
Gojo Satoru did not feel constrained. That was an agreement between Kanda Kanon and his past self and had nothing to do with him.
This realization made Gojo Satoru's face even more gloomy.
Veins popped out on his forehead as something even more furious happened.
That brat actually slept in the same bed with Kanon, something even he had never done!
"I can't forgive..."
Gojo Satoru said through gritted teeth.
Finally, Yijichi was the only one left within a twenty-meter radius around him.
【Author’s words】
Ijichi: I want to escape!
