Junior High School
".....'Ever'?"
Gojo Satoru didn't feel offended by the sharp question right from the start, but instead grasped the key word.
It seems that Hinata Aoi is very disgusted with the brother who almost killed her, and she has to add a prefix to distance herself from him when mentioning him.
So what do you want to know by asking him this question now? Do you think his motives are impure?
There's nothing we can do about it.
"If I have to say, it's true. The fact that you are Jay's sister is a big part of the reason." Another small part is due to Hinata Aoi's special abilities.
But even the most unique ability only held his interest for a short while. He didn't really care who caught him, as it wasn't his mission. Furthermore, even Six Eyes couldn't figure out the source of his ability, so he didn't believe anyone could figure out anything if they caught him.
The reason why he arranged so much care in taking care of her in every aspect was, of course, because she was Geto Suguru's sister, the sister of his best friend.
"How about it, are you satisfied with this answer? Haibara chose to open a store here because he still misses his senior Getsu~" Even though the senior has defected and become the opponent, he is still an idol that Haibara Yu has left a deep impression on him.
Gojo Satoru didn't shy away from that name at all, and that past, he recklessly danced on Hinata Aoi's sensitive spot:
"So Xiaokui feels disgusted? Do you think that you've been indebted to the murderer?"
He wasn't being mean; his best friend's defection was a huge blow to him. Gojo Satoru was simply asking, trying to understand the true thoughts of the girl he'd indirectly raised.
This kid is so good at pretending nothing happened. This opportunity to confess is new and precious to Gojo Satoru.
Hinata Aoi felt a little uncomfortable when she was asked the question back. It seemed that what was on Gojo Satoru's lips was not lip balm, but was deliberately poisoned.
But the man's frank question inexplicably dispelled some of the depression in her heart and turned it into a faint silence.
Not wanting to answer, Hinata Aoi sighed sincerely:
"You two have such a good relationship." Even after being betrayed, he can still love everyone in the family. Does Geto Suguru have some kind of white moonlight attribute?
Originally, Hinata Aoi had thought of the first question as being rather difficult, to set the tone straight out. Now, following Gojo Satoru's pace, she had straightened out all the subsequent subtle questions.
"Tell me what you have done over the years, related to me."
"That's a lot to tell~" Gojo Satoru began to sort out the timeline, tracing it back to the time when the girl was in the hospital.
Including the battle with the top management, the guidance of Hinanoko, the cooperation with Haibara Yu... It was also because he was smart and had a good memory. He told the story while praising himself, with appropriate details and omissions, without taking credit, and it was all about appreciation for himself for making wise decisions.
...So many? Hinata Aoi felt a little sleepy after listening to this.
She couldn't imagine that someone with Gojo Satoru's personality would be so good at planning.
Although many of them were accomplished naturally due to the right time, right place, and right people...As a fellow planner, Hinata Aoi couldn't help but feel a little jealous as she listened.
How could this plan be completed so seamlessly and with such high accuracy? Was it because of the large number of people involved? Is this what they call "not being able to lead a team, so I'll just work myself to death"?
Gojo Satoru gave a passionate speech, which made his mouth dry, so he took a big sip of milk tea.
Hinata Aoi took the opportunity to interject:
"So Tsumiki wasn't arranged by you?"
"So? I'm just going to school. I wouldn't go to that extent. I have a dog with me, right?"
Raising a child is not an investment; you don't have to put all your eggs in different baskets. Hinata Aoi wants to apply to this school, so she wants to squeeze Inumaki Saki in as well. Since she already has two children, it would be reasonable to let the other two go as well.
After understanding all this, when Hinata Aoi thought the conversation was over, she dared to ask the person she cared about the most:
"Mom... do you know everything?"
Only then did she behave like a normal child, feeling awkward. Gojo Satoru noticed the girl's shyness and tried his best to suppress his laughter.
This family he created is not bad~
Gojo Satoru felt like teasing her, so he deliberately dragged out his words, making them ambiguous and unclear. He didn't speak until the girl's eyes were dead. Then he spoke with a lingering feeling:
"As for Yezi, she doesn't know anything~"
At that time, he felt that Hinanoko had not been smoothed out during the years as an assistant supervisor. She was careful and had personality, so she should be very suitable for raising children. She should be the kind of person who would use pure encouragement to educate children and would not swallow her anger when the children were wronged.
But he didn't want to interfere too much, to stimulate Jianuyezi's determination to adopt a child, and then report the address of the orphanage. Then he would wait and see whether fate would naturally collide.
"I have to say, there's a lot of fate between you two."
"Remember that time at the botanical garden? Noko was the assistant supervisor of Haibara Yu and the others, accompanying them on the mission. Didn't you recognize that face when you were adopted?"
Hinata Aoi was a little surprised. She really didn't recognize her. At that time, her mind was on Mika and she didn't pay attention to the other people around her.
"Hahaha, you two, mother and daughter, didn't recognize each other. It's like 'If you're not from the same family, you won't marry'~"
...seems like I'm being ridiculed?
Hinata Aoi was a bit unhappy, but she didn't argue. She had already asked everything she wanted to know, and suddenly she ran out of topics, and Gojo Satoru took the initiative:
"I thought you would ask me something about the world of curses. Perhaps about Geto Suguru's current situation."
Now the six eyes in his eye sockets are just a pair of beautiful ordinary eyes, but his IQ is still online, and his sharp eyes can still penetrate people's hearts.
"Are you deliberately avoiding this topic? Don't you want to know?" Sometimes not asking can also explain the problem.
Time to turn up the intensity:
"That day, Geto Xia Yu killed the entire village and then went home to kill his entire family. As a member of his family, isn't Xiao Kui curious about the reason?"
There was no amnesia, and the secret was kept secret for so long, so what exactly took away Hinata Aoi's anger?
Because he was still young and the perpetrator was his brother, so he had no concept of revenge in his head?
Gojo Satoru knew how to expose other people's scars, which immediately provoked Hinata Aoi's emotions. For a moment, she wanted to pour ice milk tea on the man's face to wake him up and stop talking in his sleep.
I had originally wanted to just ask the one question about Geto Suguru, not wanting to say anything too hurtful, but in the current situation, Hinata Aoi had nothing to hide:
"What about you? So many people died because of this, do you still think he is your best friend?" Finally starting the battle mode, the girl even changed "you" to "you" in response to Gojo Satoru's provocation.
If we're going to talk, don't do it in a lukewarm way. How can we be honest if everyone is so friendly? The man calmed down with satisfaction and sat up straight.
"Of course he's a close friend. Just because Jay went the wrong way, we can't deny that he and I got along well before, right?" Humans are complex and changeable creatures. Close friends are close friends, and different positions are different positions.
"It's okay to admit it. If he causes trouble now, I will be the first to fight him." If someone else comes, they probably won't be able to beat him. This is the level his best friend should have.
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Hinata Aoi's eyes:
"But hasn't he already caused trouble?"
"The people of that village, and his parents... So you're trying to catch him? Are you going to bring him to justice?"
Gojo Satoru didn't answer immediately.
To be honest, he wanted to laugh when he heard the words "bring to justice". The more capable people in the magic world are, the further they are from the law. If they go to the police station, they will be ridiculed by their peers. The big families even make their own rules and don't care about anyone.
But for ordinary people like Hinata Aoi, the law is the most formal weapon they can use. If the law loses its binding force, the entire society will fall into panic.
He rarely spoke out such a cruel reality, so he could only change his perspective:
"The people in that village are not good people. They are feudal, pedantic, cruel and vicious. There are even traces of children being detained and tortured."
Hinata Aoi didn't want to dwell on this point and discuss whether killing a bad person was a crime.
She cares about another aspect:
“Is it not a sin to kill one’s parents?”
"They killed someone who knew nothing about their child, and they worried about their child, even though their methods of concern were sometimes not right. Shouldn't such parents be held accountable?"
"Because you killed your own parents, not someone else's, the guilt will automatically be reduced in the eyes of others, right?"
Gojo Satoru was speechless. He was unable to judge this matter.
Anyone with a modicum of morality would be speechless when faced with such a question. Hinata Aoi knew this, so she didn't intend to ask, but Gojo Satoru provoked her into speaking.
She knew the answer.
People's hearts are biased. When people with whom you have a good relationship do something wrong, you will subconsciously try to find excuses to make up for it.
In particular, sorcerers have a high degree of acceptance of crime itself. As long as it does not cause widespread harm to ordinary people and cause adverse effects, or directly harm other closer people, they probably will not be very indignant, but will only feel sad that he has taken a wrong path.
He was so heartbroken that he still had the time to care for her, the adopted sister of the perpetrator, and took such good care of her.
"You don't need to answer. I'm almost there."
She spent nearly a month reflecting on herself, finally getting to the bottom of it and facing the reasons behind her choices.
She wanted to let Geto Suguru go.
As for Geto Suguru's murder of his family, the driving forces and inducements of it are infinitely magnified, magnified into an insurmountable mountain, magnified into a sun that cannot be landed on, and then there is no need to think about breaking into the world of curses and going to □□.
Live in the shadows, be self-consistent in escape, and live a dull life.
They are both in the same boat. When they are hurt by someone close to them, they take a step back first to make themselves feel better.
"...If Geto Suguru appears again, please deal with him according to the proper procedures."
There's no need for him to atone for his sins alive, as those who do have already gone to the underworld...it's good that he can go there.
The condensed water slowly slid down the wall of the cup. During Hinata Aoi's unilateral output, Haibara and Gomuki could only hear each other's breathing. Seeing Gojo Satoru's face becoming more and more gloomy, they were extremely nervous and wanted to play some music to relax.
Fortunately, Gojo Satoru finally spoke:
"I would do the same without you telling me."
The eavesdropping duo frowned and searched for answers from each other's faces.
...What are you doing? The Riddler is the most annoying!
