"Ji... Is this how you confess to a girl?!"
Why is it different from the plot in the comics? How can the goal be to be neighbors? Isn't it just about living together and depicting a romantic cohabitation life?
A large cursed skeleton that looks like a panda and is also named "Panda". It is trying to close its jaw that is about to fall to the ground and is shocked by its classmate's "love journey".
"Mingtaizi!" Love?
Gou Juanji's whole body was stiff and his pupils were shaking.
Are you talking about those childhood sweethearts who suddenly appear, heroes who save beauties, ambiguous entanglements, reconciliations of misunderstandings, sweet and sour relationships, car accidents with mistresses, pregnancy and escape, and perfect reconciliation?
That's too scary. It's so easy to have accidents in love!
After seeing Goujuanji's thoughts, the panda lowered his head in silence, then suddenly raised his paws and slapped Goujuan's shoulders, grabbed them and began to shake them wildly.
"Even Thorn can't say that!!"
"Are you really watching this carefully?! You have no idea of Naomi's sensitive mind and struggles, the pressure and responsibility Ken bears, the pain of Sakura working three jobs a day to go to school and still being ridiculed, and the helplessness of Yosuke, who has excellent character and academic performance but has to give way to people with connections..."
"It's not love that's filled with suffering, it's this society! Misunderstandings aren't melodramatic, they're unspeakable secrets, they're the product of unyielding self-respect and pride!!"
The panda who was shouting like this actually didn't understand the complex human emotions, but that didn't stop him from being excited.
Even though he could only skip while watching those literary and artistic works because of training, it did not stop him from being moved to tears.
Many of the protagonists' names were yelled out, but Goujuan only knew a few of them. He didn't have time to be persuaded by Panda. Everything he heard in his swaying state was like a gust of wind, "whooshing" through his mind.
"Panda, you're going to shake Thorn's brain evenly."
Zenin Maki, wearing a sports suit and carrying a long stick, strolled past two boys.
"Come, fight with me!"
"No, no, ah, Yuta is coming!"
Under the threat of force, Panda instantly woke up, pointed his finger firmly at Yuta Okkotsu, who was hesitating and unable to greet them naturally, and immediately betrayed his new classmate.
New students who don’t know how to say no are really useful.
However, Maki still felt a little annoyed with Otsutsuki who was under the curse. She glanced at Inumaki Satoru who was lying on the ground in a daze, and suddenly became interested in the boys' topic.
"What were you talking about just now? You were so excited."
Hearing this, the panda perked up, thinking that the charm of gossip was indeed irresistible. He covered one side of his mouth with his hand and whispered:
"Ji has a crush on someone!"
The sound was so quiet that now all the first-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High School knew about it.
Yuta Otsutsuka's face immediately turned towards Gojumaki, and he was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words when he saw the boy who usually had an expressionless face like ice.
Maki, who wasn't so reserved, questioned directly:
"Huh? Big news!"
"Where did this girl come from? Is this an online romance? That's hard to imagine~"
"Boyuhua." Goujuan stretched out his hand to explain, but the eager-to-share Panda interrupted him:
"He was Ji's junior high school classmate. We had a very good relationship and we still keep in touch~"
"We were just chatting, and I caught him red-handed! It took my superb rhetoric to convince Goujuan to reveal the details!"
"Mustard!" Let me tell you!
Panda hugged Goujuan's shoulders from behind to stop him from typing "excuse" on his mobile phone.
"And he's so despicable. He couldn't even say 'I like you' when he confessed his feelings, but he actually said he wanted to be neighbors for life. How despicable."
"ah......"
There was too much information. "Classmates", "chatting", "catching someone", and "neighbors" lined up and circled above Maki's mind. Finally, her eyes flashed, and she swung the stick and hit the ground with one end.
"Bang!" Maki looked at Gojuan with a look that was as if he were trash.
"You are not a scumbag, are you?" A scumbag who hooks up with girls without giving them a name and cheating on their feelings.
"...Muyuhua." Goujuan witnessed his reputation plummet to the bottom and he was almost dead.
The rice ball fillings could help him communicate simply, but they could not explain such a complicated "case" at all.
This is slander, slander!
"Hey, Goumaki-kun shouldn't be such a person, right?" Yuta Otsutsuki exuded the brilliance of humanity, scratching his face and speaking timidly.
"...We still need evidence to draw conclusions, right?"
"Hmm?" Just a glance at each other, and Maki instantly killed all of Otsutsuki's courage.
"Are you saying I'm too judgmental?"
"No!" Yuta Otsutsuki chose to turn off the microphone.
If he continued talking, his life would not be at stake. If his childhood sweetheart, Rika Kimoto, who had cursed him, felt that he was being bullied, it would be another tragedy.
Maki is not a person who acts arbitrarily. Thinking that what Otsutsuki said makes sense, she searches for Juanji's phone on Sogou.
"No! Wake up, Maki, you have another CP!"
"Don't be a mistress who destroys other people's relationships!"
After being released by the panda, Goujuan immediately fled to a farther place, covering his pocket with his hands, and breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster.
"What are you talking about? I just want to see the chat history, okay?"
The panda, realizing he had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly: "It's not right to look into someone's privacy without their consent..."
"What should we do then?" Maki crossed her arms with a cold face.
"...If Ji showed it to us on his own initiative, then there would be no problem~"
The three classmates all stared at Goujuan, and he had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "Salmon."
This was definitely a setup. Goujuan took out his cell phone and handed it to Maki.
But he also wondered, were his words truly inappropriate? …Wasn't it strange to "confess" something like that?
Waiting for the verdict dejectedly, even Yuta Otsutsuki had the courage to lean over to look at Gojuan's chat history.
Needless to say, the first one pinned to the top is the rumored girl. It's simply marked "Hinata Aoi" and contains an unread message from the girl.
"...an old married couple?"
They talked about daily things, without any trace of adolescent excitement or testing each other's feelings. What was visible was the intertwined desire to share.
"Why did that girl report her itinerary to you? Aren't we already in a relationship?" Maki wondered.
"Boyuhua!" No, I didn't talk about that! This is something a friend should know... I want to know because I care... It's something I must know to accomplish my mission...
The more Goujuan looked for excuses layer by layer, the more he felt like a control freak, and his confidence gradually waned.
...I just want to know the other person's every move. Isn't that normal?
There was nothing explosive about it, so Maki threw the phone to Panda.
The panda was mesmerized, holding the "candy" and twisting his body to promote the couple until he lost track of time. Meanwhile, Yuta Otsutsuki was learning every word beside them. He had never seen such a long-lasting friendship, especially between a man and a woman, and he watched intently with envy.
"Can I see the photo album?" The panda acted cute.
"Boyu flower!"
“Ah~”
"tuna."
"Hmm~"
“…Salmon.”
"Great!" Panda couldn't wait to click it, and Maki calmly put her head closer again.
"Ji has so many friends...it must be this one~"
It's a close-up photo of a girl sitting upright, writing a greeting card. The sun is shining brightly outside, cherry blossoms are dancing, and a spring breeze is blowing into the classroom, gently ruffling the girl's hair.
When the panda looks at this photo, it can imagine the boy's embarrassed and shy expression when the shutter sounded.
The girl must have smiled shyly, her heart beating fast, and she must have had a good impression of Goujuan, which is why this photo was saved.
"...I agree that you two should be together!"
"What the hell are you yelling about!"
The panda suddenly cried out, startling everyone nearby. Reflexively, Maki hit the panda hard on the head.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
The panda covered his head, paused, and then, as if something had suddenly dawned on him, he shouted:
"Youta!!"
"arrive!"
"You should be very experienced in this area~"
He took small steps and rushed towards Yuta Okutsuki's face, scaring him so much that he took several steps back.
"W-What experience?"
"Childhood sweetheart experience~"
Unable to bear it any longer, Maki hit the panda with a stick and sent it flying:
"Can that be the same experience? Let's talk about the mortal world! If the cursed spirit gets scared out of me, I won't help you clean up the mess."
After changing hands several times, Gojuan, who was always thinking about his cell phone that was being tossed around, finally took the opportunity to get it back from Otsutsuki.
"...Inujuki-kun! If you want to know whether I like you or not, I have a little trick..." Knowing that Inujuki was distressed, Otsutsuki hesitated and spoke.
Panda is right, he does have some experience.
Even though he was cursed, those memories were still beautiful. If he could go back to that time, he would still make the same promise with Rika.
"......If you think about never being apart for the rest of your life and can't accept that the other person has such an agreement with someone else, then you probably love him/her." Otsutsuki said this shyly, and Panda gave him/her a thumbs up without hesitation.
...Is this the kind of liking that comes from love?
Is it that simple? Isn't this an undesirable form of exclusive friendship?
No amount of definitions can save a dog that is stuck in a rut.
He could feel his heart beating faster and his cheeks getting hot under his collar, but Goujuan held himself back, as if there was no turning back once he crossed this line, and something was about to get out of control.
Quickly diverting his attention, Gojumaki looked at Otsutsuki and remembered the relief he felt after learning the source of the curse on him——
...Fortunately, Hinata Aoi is not affected by the cursed energy, so even if he dies, it won't hurt her.
——
I had a dark dream. The fatigue after celebrating my birthday with friends seemed to be superimposed on muscle cramps. Hinata Aoi's body was extremely painful. The next moment, it seemed as if it was wrapped and washed by warm water. The pain gradually eased, and all my limbs felt soothed and comfortable.
Her eyelids fluttered as she opened her eyes. Noticing something was wrong with the room, Hinata Aoi immediately sat up and looked around.
A bed, a cat, a bunch of instruments, and a woman.
He was wearing a white coat, his long hair was loose, and he had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. The dark circles under his eyes were heavier than the night. When he saw her wake up, his eyes lit up and he immediately made a phone call:
"Wu, wake up!"
