Chapter 25: Enlightenment: Damn, I've become a masochist
Gojo Satoru's actions were very different from what she expected, and this was something Kanda Kanon had noticed long ago.
Logically speaking, he should have called off the engagement long ago. Why had such a simple matter been delayed until now?
Kanda Kanon couldn't figure it out.
[According to Gojo Satoru's words in the book, he truly does hate those stupid rotten oranges. There's no reason for him not to hate me...] Kanda Kanon didn't understand what went wrong.
Gojo Satoru was fiddling with the water cup in his hand leisurely. He seemed to be in a daze, but he was actually eavesdropping with his ears perked up.
No wonder she chose to act like a fool to get close to him, so this was her idea. Fortunately, the old men in the family did not agree, otherwise she would have really run away by now.
This was the first time that Gojo Satoru thanked those old men. When they die in the future, he will burn more paper for them. It will be considered a good thing and there is no need to thank him too much.
[Now it’s even more strange. It’s fine that she didn’t break off the engagement, but she actually opened her heart to me these past two days. Not only did he shut down No Bottom Line, but he also asked me to hang out with him. Is that right? 】
[This shouldn't be the case. How could Gojo Satoru like a stupid young lady who looks like a rotten orange? 】
When Gojo Satoru heard this, an arrow pierced his body.
I'm sorry I like you a little bit!
Can he be blamed for this?
Moreover, ever since I heard her inner voice, the last bit of resentment disappeared, and her nature became even more attractive.
If Gojo Satoru's favorability could be quantified, it would really be constantly increasing by +1.
The only drawback is that her love for him is fake. Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth, because he would have eight hundred heart attacks every day because of this.
[What should I do? Something is extremely wrong, but now that things have come to this, can I still run away? 】
"Bang!" The glass fell heavily on the table, and Kanda Kanon woke up.
"Eat!" Gojo Satoru squeezed out two words from between his teeth. He picked up a piece of roasted Wagyu beef and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hmm!" Kanda Kanon chewed subconsciously. The plump Wagyu beef melted in her mouth. The aroma of the meat and the perfect seasoning blended together, making her saliva secrete even more vigorously.
[Wow, I’ve never eaten anything so delicious in my life! What is this? It smells so good! 】
All the worries disappeared after eating delicious food.
Hmm... is this the joy of nurturing? Gojo Satoru stuffed food into her mouth one after another. Seeing her satisfied look, his mood improved a lot.
He lowered his eyes to look at her still flat belly, and his hands moved a little faster.
The black-haired girl's sitting posture is always so dignified and elegant, sitting there meticulously, as if she was born a lady.
But the young man next to her broke her noble temperament.
Kanda Kanon, who was being fed, shook her head unconsciously. Her movements were very slight, but one could tell that she was happy.
The happiness on her face makes people smile, and the food in their mouths tastes much better. From a distance, she looked like a happy puppy being fed.
"Oh, it looks delicious." Huihara Yu's energetic voice sounded in my ears.
"Cough cough cough!" Kanda Kanon woke up again. She swallowed the tempura in her mouth without even having time to chew it, and almost choked herself to death.
“Shui shui shui!” Gojo Satoru quickly handed her the juice and patted her on the back. “Why are you in such a hurry?”
[Oh no, I was so distracted by the delicious food that I almost forgot about it! 】Kanda Kanon straightened her posture, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and concealed her panic.
Before I knew it, all the dishes were served. A variety of high-end Japanese food is placed on the table, each one is as exquisite as a work of art. There was a stone slab on the table between her and Gojo Satoru, with a piece of Wagyu beef on it, sizzling.
A fragrance wafted over her and she swallowed her saliva. There was nothing she could do; they looked good and tasted good but the portion was too small. After eating for a long time she felt lonely.
【wrong! 】Kanda Kanon suddenly reacted.
[Gojo Satoru is grilling meat for me? ! Oh my god, I am actually dreaming, right? 】
"The food was served quite quickly." Xia Youjie sat down opposite.
"I specifically told him to bring it all together. He'll be starving to death if he waits too long." Gojo Satoru curled his lips, blew on the almost roasted Wagyu beef, and stuffed it back into Kanda Kanon's mouth.
"Chef is about to cry." Xia Yujie sighed helplessly.
"Who cares? There are so many rules for eating. I hate rules the most." Gojo Satoru picked up another piece of cooked food and stuffed it into Kanda Kanon's mouth.
[Don’t block it yet!] Chew, chew, chew. It smells so good! 】Kanda Kanon opened her mouth with tears in her eyes, her thoughts were completely disrupted.
"You eat more than I thought. You've eaten up all of my share." Gojo Satoru looked at her still flat belly in surprise, wondering where all that food had gone.
[…I’m still growing!] 】
"I'm sorry, but since it was Wu-kun who fed me, I couldn't bear to eat it." Kanda Kanon touched her belly and said against her will.
"Really? Then you should eat more." Gojo Satoru stretched out his voice.
"Sizzle." The sound of grilling meat rang out again.
[Strange, didn’t they say they had already eaten it? Where did it come from...ah. 】
Xia Yujie slowly lowered his head, looked at the empty plate in front of him and fell silent.
[Well... never mind. It’s Gojo Satoru who’s treating us anyway.] 】Kanda Kanon opened her mouth with a little bit of guilt.
[This meat is so delicious, I can never get enough of it! 】
Kanda Kanon fell into depravity again.
...A bit like the little black cat raised by the grandma next door in my hometown. When I took sausages to feed it when I was a child, it also wagged its tail excitedly like this.
Nanami Kento was deep in thought. In less than a day, all his impressions of Kanda Kanon were overturned.
The ability to predict the future is something that everyone would envy, no wonder she has to hide away.
But it can also be said that she has absolutely no ambition and no bad intentions, otherwise she would be a truly hopeless enemy.
Thinking of this, Nanami Kento silently pushed his share in front of her.
It's just a little food, eat more if you like.
[Huh~ I’m full!] 】
Kanda Kanon touched her slightly bulging belly and let out a long sigh of contentment.
This kid is a real eater. She ate five servings by herself. The four boys present silently commented on her.
"As expected, Wu-kun is the most perfect man. Even his cooking is so delicious. I will never share the things Wu-kun gives me with these damn poor people. How can they deserve to eat such luxurious things?"
"The lower class should have the self-awareness of the lower class, and don't expect things that don't belong to you!" Kanda Kanon tried to save her face, as if she was not greedy just now, but just because they didn't deserve to eat.
As long as you are happy, the others drank water silently, and Gojo Satoru called the waiter to take the order again.
[…I always feel ignored, and I’m a little unwilling! My acting should be fine, right? 】
"Too slow." Gojo Satoru drank the last sip of his drink and complained about the time it took to serve the food.
"There's nothing we can do. There are more people here now, so it's normal that it's slow." Xia Yujie calmly poured himself some tea and filled her cup as well.
[…Why do I feel a little uneasy? Am I eating too much? Alas, today is not like me at all. I always feel that my acting skills have been getting more and more powerless recently. What’s going on? Is it time to do some further studies? 】
[It’s all Gojo Satoru’s fault. He always disturbs me!] 】
So it's my fault again? Gojo Satoru was speechless, yet a little proud.
Does this mean that he is different in this guy's heart?
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yega has been designated as the next principal. How about holding a celebration party? It will be very lively!" Huihara Yu likes gatherings like today very much, especially when he learned that he was about to die, he cherished every minute of the present even more.
Of course, it would be very easy for him to avoid death. He just had to leave the world of sorcery. But Kanda Kanon is still here, he can't leave alone, if he has to leave, he has to leave with her.
But in this process, it is not certain whether he can avoid death in the future.
"I think it's okay." Xia Youjie agreed.
[…Has it come to this? It’s broken! 】
Gojo Satoru closed his mouth as he was about to agree, and listened attentively with the others.
[I remember that at the beginning of the Tenriko incident, there seemed to be a mention of Mr. Yaga being designated as the next principal. 】
Many events in the book do not have clear dates, so she wrote down the details of the time so that they could correspond to reality.
[Then the astral plasma death incident that will affect Geto Suguru's life is about to begin. It’s over, it’s over. No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape! I don't want to be involved! 】
Tiantianlizi? Astral plasma? Geto Suguru and others were brainstorming frantically.
[Let me think about it. The mission to protect and kill Tenriko was assigned to Gojo Satoru and Geto. In order to kill Tenno Riko and prevent assimilation, the Pansei Cult hired Fushiguro Jhin as a killer. In order to weaken Gojo Satoru, they even offered a bounty for attacking them to drain his energy? 】
[Fushiguro Shiori, who possesses the power of heaven and curse, has no cursed energy at all and can enter and leave the high school at will. In the end, he used the Amesaki Hoko to influence Gojo Satoru's technique and almost hacked him to death. 】
Kanda Kanon tried hard to recall, and the useless book seemed to sense her thoughts and jumped out from the corner and shook her excitedly.
But you can't watch it in front of so many people, it would be too obvious.
[Alas, this incident is so terrible. Originally, Tenno Riko was not allowed to be assimilated, but she was killed by Fushiguro Shinjiro at the last minute. After witnessing this scene, Geto Suguru also lost his mind. After all, Fushiguro Jyouji is an ordinary person whom he has always looked down upon, a killer hired by the Banking Cult. 】
[Speaking of which, the scene where Gojo Satoru holds Tenriko's body is quite heartbreaking. The members of the Pansei Cult who killed the innocent girl are surrounding them, laughing and clapping, as if they are celebrating her death. This scene completely destroyed the justice in Geto Suguru's heart. 】
[After working so hard to devour and exorcise cursed spirits, who are you protecting in the end? 】
[After witnessing the death of Huihara Yu, and the persecution of two children with sorcerers' talents in the old village by ordinary people, he massacred the villagers and finally defected, preparing to create a world with only sorcerers. 】
[It is such a sad story. Although he suffered a great blow, Geto Suguru was also extreme enough to go down a path of no return. Many years later, he was executed by his best friend, and even his body was taken away by a noose to do evil. 】
[“What if the end of this road is a pile of corpses of our companions?” This sentence by Geto Suguru touched me deeply. 】
[I don't want to become a member of the mountain of corpses, nor do I want to become a poor oppressed creature in the world of sorcery. I only have one life, and I can't use it to gamble on human nature. 】
[Sorry, I can't save you...]
But where no one could see, she lowered her eyes and clenched her fists, her eyes full of hesitation.
This is the first time that Kanda Kanon gives a nearly complete account of future events, as well as her own concerns. The mood of the four boys present was heavier than ever before.
They expected that Kanda Kanon did not trust them. The time they spent together was only during the time she was enrolled in technical high school. You have to know that telling them this secret was equivalent to putting her life and property in their hands.
In order to protect themselves, they carefully played the role of the fool, but to be honest, this was something none of them could do.
The only thing that could be guaranteed was that what she was worried about would never come true, as long as they were there.
Another heavy thing is that their future is more tragic than expected.
Especially Geto Suguru, he couldn't utter a word and his throat was dry and painful.
He knew that he would defect, that he would be killed by Gojo Satoru, and that his body would be taken away and used to impersonate someone else, but he never felt any sense of reality.
But this time she explained it too specifically, so specifically that his whole body felt cold and even his teeth were chattering.
Because he put himself in her shoes and thought that if these things really happened, he might really end up on a path of no return, just like what she had said in her heart.
"...Jie." Gojo Satoru's hoarse voice sounded, and Geto Suguru's body trembled.
He raised his head, and his eyes, which were usually calm and gentle, now looked confused, panicked and helpless.
"Come with me to the bathroom." After saying that, Gojo Satoru stood up, leaving him no room for refusal.
"I understand..." Xia Youjie's voice was very hoarse.
The abnormality of the two people attracted the attention of Kanda Kanon. They were not JKs, so why did they have to go to the toilet together?
"Then I'll go too." Nanami Kento also stood up with a serious look on his face.
Haibara Yu came back to his senses from his shock, looked at their reactions, and finally understood.
They can also hear Kanda Kanon's inner voice.
He now understood what was going on after reading the information that Xia Youjie gave him before he came in. Thinking back carefully, it is true that Geto Xiayou always said something vague.
"Beep beep beep--" Huibara Xiong spoke tentatively in a low voice, then opened his eyes wide.
I really can’t say it! No wonder no one mentioned it before, no wonder Nanami Kento suddenly did a bbox in the classroom!
So that's how it is!
[…Why do technical college students like bbox so much? I have to do this before going to the toilet. 】Kanda Kanon stared at Huihara Yu in confusion.
…
The four of them fell silent at the same time.
Can the bbox issue ever be resolved? Suguru Geto and Nanami Kento were reminded of unpleasant memories.
"Wait, let me come too!" Huihara Yu jumped up quickly.
Since his death helped Suguru Geto's defection, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
But fortunately, they were the ones who were restrained, and Huiyuan Xiong finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
[…This scene inexplicably gives me a sense of déjà vu.] 】Kanda Kanon drank her tea calmly.
"Then I'll wait for you here, Wujun. Please come back soon. I feel uneasy being alone." She put down the teacup and said affectionately.
Gojo Satoru was about to agree, but he heard her inner voice again.
[I remember now, isn't this a classic part of a social gathering? I remember that if girls had someone they liked or wanted to complain about something, they would drag other girls to the bathroom with them. It is especially special if all the girls go together. 】
[These people...are not going to say bad things about me, are they? Come to think of it, when Geto Suguru performed a bbox for me, it seemed like he was dissing me. 】
[Haibara, I wanted to take you with me, but I didn’t expect you to backstab me! hateful! 】
...What kind of train of thought would lead to something like this? Gojo Satoru was amazed.
[Don't leave me alone! What if the seal of the curse is lifted and the cursed spirit comes? What should I do? 】
...So after all, it's still fear, right?
The extremely depressing atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, leaving only helplessness.
It must be said that Kanda Kanon is really good at ruining the atmosphere.
Haibara Yu shook his head in shock, and just as he was about to speak, Gojo Satoru covered his mouth.
"Mmmm!" I didn't, I didn't mean to say anything bad about you, Huibara Yu was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Gojo Satoru didn't give him a chance. He immediately said, "Stay here and don't move. We'll be back soon. If anything happens, call for help immediately. I'll be by your side right away."
"Huh?" Kanda Kanon was a little surprised, "Okay, okay."
[Gojo Satoru said he would protect me?] The sky is falling, Maji Yabai! 】
This damn kid! Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth, but finally left with a sour face.
The four boys left in a hurry, leaving Kanda Kanon holding her forehead with a headache.
[How could this be? Instead of hating me, Gojo Satoru is so friendly to me. Oh no, could he be a masochist too? 】
[There is not a single good person in this technical college. They are all masochists. Is that damned book reliable?! 】
[God wants to kill me!] 】
Kanda Kanon groundhog screamed.
"...I heard it clearly." The four people separated by a wall looked at each other.
The effective range of the mind's voice is within ten meters. No matter what is in the way, as long as it does not exceed the range, it can be heard.
"...Congratulations on your success, and welcome to join our masochistic army." Xia Youjie said with a smile on his face.
The boomerang that Gojo Satoru had complained about at the beginning eventually stabbed himself.
“……” Gojo Satoru sighed. It seemed like he had sighed out all his life’s anger in the past two days.
