Chapter 59: Crown You as the Strongest Singer
"Nice to meet you. My name is Nanami Kento."
The blond man with his hair parted in a 3:7 style stood straight with his hands on his trouser line and introduced himself to her with fairly standard etiquette.
He was wearing an off-white suit with a dark blue shirt underneath and a tie with yellow and black spots tied around his collar. Compared with his steady appearance, his attire is quite eye-catching.
He raised his head, his deep and sharp eyes were behind his glasses, but Kanda Kanon could still see that he was looking straight at her.
At the age of 27, Kento Nanami has become a mature man, and his height, voice, and body shape are very different from the man she knows.
but……
【really! He is the daddy type with a super good body. Even wearing a suit, he can't hide the muscular lines on his body. Well... he is even sexier than Gojo Satoru. 】
Out of 10, Kanda Kanon gave Nanami Kento 100 points!
There is no way, a good figure is the best betrothal gift for a man.
Gojo Satoru glanced over and was very dissatisfied with the fact that he lost to Nanami Kento.
He looked down at his full chest muscles, long legs, and perfect inverted triangle figure. Where did he lose?
This kid has no sense of judgement at all. How can his body be considered perfect? Gojo Satoru stared at Nanami Kento and competed with him silently.
Nanami Kento was stared at by two eager eyes and his eyes twitched.
"…It's basic etiquette to introduce yourself to someone you meet for the first time." Nanami Kento spoke calmly, but it gave people invisible pressure.
Kanda Kanon was not affected. She smiled sweetly with the corners of her mouth raised, her beautiful peach blossom eyes blinking, "My name is Kanda Kanon, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Nanami~"
There was no emotion in Nanami Kento's eyes, he just nodded silently.
To be honest, being called by Gojo Satoru to take care of a girl today was something that Nanami Kento did not expect.
Although most sorcerers do not have the awareness of gender differences, I think it would be better to let a female sorcerer take care of him.
If it was just training, it would be fine... Nanami Kento glanced at a certain unreliable white-haired guy, but the word he used was care.
Nanami Kento had a headache. Even if this man lacked common sense, he should have some limits.
"Mr. Nanami." The girl's soft and sweet voice brought Nanami Kento back to his senses. He lowered his head and waited for her next words.
A blush suddenly appeared on the black-haired girl's cheeks, and she smiled shyly. The girl who was so graceful just now now seemed inexplicably...sly.
Kanda Kanon chuckled, gently placed her hand on Nanami Kento's arm, and whispered, "Excuse me, can I touch the muscles in your arms? I'm so envious... How can I grow muscles?"
Without waiting for Nanami Kento to reply, she quickly pinched it a few times. Kento Nanami subconsciously tensed up, his arm muscles instantly stiffened, and Kanda Kanon's mouth became an O shape.
"... Kanda-san." Nanami Kento's face darkened, "Please don't do this to your elders or someone of the opposite sex."
Is this child too close to others? Should we say they are worthy of being teacher and student? He looks exactly like a certain man... No, it's possible that he has been led astray. Nanami Kento looked at Gojo Satoru sinisterly.
"Elder?" Kanda Kanon tilted her head and opened her mouth as if she had suddenly realized something. Then she said in a comforting tone, "No, Nanami is not old at all. Rather, Nanami is mature and reliable now. I am not worried at all."
The time she had traveled through was too short, and Kanda Kanon had spent much more time with everyone during her high school days, so she didn't consider them as her elders.
Even though they look much more mature.
"Nanaha~" Gojo Satoru also came over and put his arm around his shoulders, "Don't worry too much. Thinking too much will make you age faster."
Countless # marks appeared above Nanami Kento's head. He sighed deeply, his patience almost running out.
Not to mention the disappearance of Kanda Kanon's honorific title, what's going on with this damn bizarre train of thought?
Gojo Satoru next to him was still fanning the flames, and Nanami Kento was getting more and more angry.
A problem teacher and a problem student, what a nightmare combination. It turns out that all sorcerers are shit.
[Oh, I really envy those people who can grow muscles so easily. Unlike me, no matter how much I exercise, my arms and legs are still thin and I don’t feel safe at all. 】A hint of envy flashed in Kanda Kanon's eyes.
She had no bad intentions when she pinched his arm; envy was the main reason.
After being baptized by Gojo Satoru in the original world, this body finally made Kanda Kanon lose a pound, but she didn't grow any muscles at all. So, Gojo Satoru decisively gave up letting her exercise.
She didn't grow muscles but lost weight. If she keeps doing this, she'll die. God knows how much effort Gojo Satoru put in to feed her back that pound of fat.
And the muscle training that Gojo Satoru in this world had prepared for her also inexplicably disappeared.
Looking at the friends from the two worlds showing off their muscles in front of the cursed spirits, Kanda Kanon was extremely envious.
If she had such muscles and such a strong body, she wouldn't have to live such a cautious life every day.
[Damn it, can these two guys give me some of their muscles! 】Kanda Kanon secretly pinched her soft upper arm, and with a force, she indeed felt a thin layer of hard muscle. But it's useless, it's just a little muscle that the human body needs normally.
The power enhanced by the cursed force is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person, not to mention...
How can you be so powerful if you can’t even tear apart cursed spirits or break through walls with your bare hands!
Kanda Kanon, who was immersed in her own world, did not notice that someone next to her was staring at her with his eyes almost popping out of his head in shock.
Gojo Satoru could see it clearly from the side. It was the first time in all these years that he saw this expression on Nanami Kento's face.
It’s really... so interesting! Gojo Satoru smiled as if he was going to enjoy a good show.
"Nanami~" Gojo Satoru spoke slowly, and his frivolous voice reached Nanami Kento's ears, "You heard it, right?"
Others would not understand Gojo Satoru's vague words, but Nanami Kento understood it all at once.
No wonder Gojo Satoru would take special care of someone who was not special in any way. It was not his character. When he was asked to do this, Nanami Kento was puzzled, but now he understands.
He heard the girl's inner voice, which was why Gojo Satoru asked him for help.
"...Remember to inform us in advance next time." Nanami Ken pushed his glasses tiredly. This person really doesn't consider other people's feelings at all.
Gojo Satoru snorted and did not answer or refute. The reason was simple: some things can only be known through personal experience.
For example...
"Kanda-san." Nanami Kento, who knew nothing about anything, asked Kanda Kanon without any precautions, "Now I know why Mr. Gojo asked me for help. So, please introduce your..."
After a brief shock, Nanami Kento regained his senses. Gojo Satoru specifically asked him for help, which meant that this girl was capable of more than just hearing her inner voice.
Nanami Kento was about to ask her what her technique was, but the question he asked turned into a tone that was almost like that of a musical instrument.
"Beep beep beep--" The high-pitched sound has a different flavor when Nanami Kento says it in a low voice.
"Wow~" Kanda Kanon and Gojo Satoru exclaimed in amazement.
But the person who made the sound was completely petrified.
...What's going on?
Nanami Kento's pupils trembled. Was it him who made the sound just now?
[Sure enough, even when I grow up, my love for music will never change. 】Kanda Kanon inexplicably shed tears. It was great that in this new world, everyone still loved music so much.
These were the technical high school students she was familiar with. She felt a sense of familiarity and Kanda Kanon nodded and applauded.
"Okay, okay, Nanami, you sang so well. I will award you the title of the best singer in the high school!" Kanda Kanon clapped her hands and nodded repeatedly with emotion.
Apart from anything else, just because Nanami Kento was willing to sing a song for her as soon as they met, she had to give him enough emotional value in return.
Gojo Satoru also wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "If you had known this earlier, you should have quit your job and tried your luck in the entertainment industry. You might have become a great singer long ago!"
Nanami Kento had a blank face and said nothing, but if you looked closely you could see that his fingers were trembling badly.
Now he completely understood that he had been tricked by Gojo Satoru. The moment he opened his mouth, he was on a path of no return.
The desire to resign reached its peak again, and Nanami Kento seemed to have made up his mind and turned to leave.
"Hey↗" Gojo Wuerkang pulled him back with his hand, "Look, you are anxious again."
On the eve of Nanami Kento's outburst, Gojo Satoru whispered in his ear: "I didn't mean it. You already know the details. I can't tell you even if I want to."
Nanami Kento stood there with his arms folded, expressionless, silently rejecting his approach.
He understood the truth, but he couldn't agree with it in his heart. He will probably never forget this feeling of social death.
It’s all thanks to this man!
The two grown men gathered together and whispered, but Kanda Kanon was used to it.
No matter which world they are in, these people love to get together and whisper, and they don't bring her along.
She had some small complaints at first, but was later appeased by the small cakes and ice cola they brought out. After a while she got used to it.
I don’t know where these people got so much to say. Kanda Kanon on the side comforted herself and took out a candy and put it in her mouth.
Well...it can't really be considered as comforting myself, after all, the candy was bought with Gojo Satoru's money.
The sweet peach flavor spread in her mouth. Kanda Kanon made herself happy and amused herself with her eyes narrowed.
"Ha..." Finally, the conversation between the two ended with Kento Nanami's compromising sigh.
The two people stood in front of Kanda Kanon again, like two huge mountains blocking out all the light.
Nanami Kento rolled up his sleeves, his face no longer showing any strange color, and he said seriously: "Kanda-san, I will take care of you while Mr. Gojo is away."
Kanda Kanon nodded obediently, but couldn't help mumbling in her heart.
[It feels like being placed in a nursery. Actually, it's not bad for Nanami to be a kindergarten teacher, as he is usually surrounded by a lot of 'naughty kids'. 】
For example, Gojo Satoru is a big naughty kid, and Kanda Kanon has no awareness of putting herself in the middle of it.
Please, there are very few good kids like her who can comfort herself in this world!
[But then again, does this count as stealing Yuji's opportunity? 】
Kanda Kanon thought so, and the next second she said: "Teacher, can you bring Yuji-san with you? He has been possessed by Ryoumen Sukuna, but he has just entered the world of spells and knows nothing about spells. Yuji-san is a super nice person, so, can he study with you and me, Mr. Nanami!"
The black-haired girl's pleading eyes were so bright that it was hard to refuse her.
Nanami Kento frowned. He had also heard about the two Sukuna containers, but he was not going to cause trouble for himself.
However, he swallowed back the words of rejection the moment he heard her inner voice.
[If I remember correctly, Junpei's incident is about to begin. A boy who was bullied at school encountered a bewitching cursed spirit. Before he was used to do bad things, Yuji Itadori stepped in to stop it and even wanted him to enter the technical high school as his companion. It is still a touching and passionate story up to this point, but it’s a pity...】
[I believe that Junpei, who believed in the cursed spirit, died at its hands. When I first saw this, I was so angry that I almost died. 】Kanda Kanon felt upset when she thought of this.
Nanami Kento, who heard her thoughts clearly, was shocked again.
Is this... the future? Nanami Kento grasped the key point instantly.
Nanami Kento looked at Gojo Satoru, and after seeing his affirmative expression, Nanami Kento finally understood the purpose of why he brought this girl here.
Just like an onion, with each layer peeled back, there is one more layer, until now Ken Nanami has finally seen the center.
He understood the truth, but he still felt a little unhappy. Nanami Kento clicked his tongue speechlessly.
[But the focus is not here, but on the cursed spirit that appeared in this incident. That is a special-grade cursed spirit born from a curse between people - a real person. 】
Real person, the two men kept repeating this name in their hearts.
[It turns out that Yuji Itadori is still needed in this incident. Perhaps only he can untie Junpei's knot. More importantly, if I'm the only one following Nanami, then this mission will have to fall on my head! 】
[Stop joking, if the real person is here, I will definitely die! 】Kanda Kanon’s face gradually became ugly.
[If I had known that guy's technique could change the shape of another person's soul just by touching it, I don't want to become a cyborg! 】
[But the real person must die!] 】
There is only one thing Kanda Kanon must do.
Thinking of this, she looked at Gojo Satoru seriously.
"Teacher, although you are very busy and have entrusted me to someone else, but!" Kanda Kanon grabbed Gojo Satoru's sleeve and said in a loud voice, "Please report your schedule at any time. If necessary, please come immediately when I contact you!"
"Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning?" Kanda Kanon looked at him accusingly, as if he were a heartless man, "A liar should swallow a thousand needles!"
"...Ahaha, that's what happened." Gojo Satoru shifted his gaze, not wanting to look at Nanami Kento's sharp eyes.
"Mr. Gojo, please be a serious person." Nanami Kento said in a deep voice.
...Why does everyone say this? Gojo Satoru scratched his head, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him.
[Nanaha Kento and Itadori Yuji cannot exorcise the real person even if they work together. They must guide Gojo Satoru to kill it. 】Kanda Kanon was in deep thought.
[After all, Mahito is the culprit who killed Kento Nanami in the future. 】
After hearing this, the two men no longer had the mind to think about anything else.
[Not only that, Muso used the real person's technique to make many people become victims, and the whole of Japan fell into the death game...]
Zhenren, this special cursed spirit, is undoubtedly one of the trump cards in the hands of Zuosuo. Getting rid of it will also get rid of her biggest worry.
Wait, considering the time, the other event seems to be happening tonight!
Kanda Kanon suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Gojo Satoru: "What are you going to do today!"
"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru replied absentmindedly, "Nothing special... Ah, by the way, I have a meeting with Principal Yega tonight..."
That’s right, they all match! Kanda Kanon became even more anxious.
"Teacher, since you haven't forgotten our agreement, please let me stay by your side tonight!"
Without Yuji Itadori, she will be the only one to go this time. There is nothing to be afraid of with Gojo Satoru around. She must urge him to completely purify Rokuko.
But this sentence has a different meaning in other people's ears.
"...What agreement?" Nanami Kento looked at Gojo Satoru as if he were trash.
Let’s not talk about things in the future for now. This so-called agreement seems more and more wrong the more I listen to it.
Is this a formal agreement?
