Chapter 127 The key is freshness
Yuji Itadori is very popular. When he told the students who were still in the classroom that he would be taking a week off from school due to an upcoming surgery, all the students came to accompany him.
Especially the one called Todo... holding Yuji Itadori's hand with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, my dear friend, we will pray for you outside."
Yuji Itadori: "...Toudou, Miss Ghost said it was just a minor operation."
Toudou Aoi wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a smile that could stop a child crying at night: "Yes, my dear friend, you will be fine."
If the students from the Tokyo school came to accompany Yuji Itadori to see the doctor, hoping that they could help send him to the dormitory after he came out, then the students from the Kyoto school were equivalent to providing hospice care for Yuji Itadori.
The students of Kyoto School do not know Cheng Xiaoyu's identity as a demon. In this world, the development and understanding of soul power are very limited, so Todou Aoi and other Kyoto School students just regard it as a "minor operation" as a white lie told by Cheng Xiaoyu and others to comfort Yuji Itadori.
Logically speaking, Yuji Itadori and other students from Tokyo School would realize this misunderstanding.
However, the Kyoto students felt that "the Tokyo students have put so much effort into this white lie, and we cannot destroy their efforts at this time." In addition, as sorcerers, they had more or less seen and heard about the death of their companions before, so even though they felt sad that a peer they had just met was about to die, they did not show it too much on their faces.
This caused the Tokyo students, whose minds were completely focused on Yuji Itadori, to fail to react.
As for Todou Aoi...because he often does things that are difficult to understand but have their own logic, no one present thought his behavior was abnormal.
"Alright, alright, if you have anything to say, let's talk after Yuji-san comes out of the operating room."
As the only two people in the audience who guessed the small misunderstanding between the students of Tokyo and Kyoto schools on this matter, Ieiri Naoko and Cheng Xiaoyu had no intention of explaining.
Anyway, after the operation, the misunderstanding will be resolved when they can see the living Yuji Itadori.
"Life is so unpredictable." After Yuji Itadori went into surgery, Aoi Todou, standing in the corridor, looked at the operating room sign at a 45-degree angle, tears streaming down her face. "It's so rare to meet a lifelong friend, and to say goodbye so soon... Life is so unpredictable."
Nobara Kugisaki couldn't help but grumble to Megumi Fushiguro, "That's too much! He and Itadori have only known each other for three days."
Between Aoi Todoh and Yuji Itadori, Aoi Todoh drew lots during the individual competition. At that time, Aoi Todoh was determined to fight Yuta Otsutsuki and did not take Yuji Itadori seriously at all. She just wanted to end the battle quickly.
Yuji Itadori had never thought that he would be able to defeat a senior sorcerer who had been enrolled for three years just half a year after entering school. For them, the first-year students, the main focus in this friendly tournament was on the participating side.
But unexpectedly, while the two were fighting, Todo Aoi suddenly asked very seriously, "What kind of women do you like?"
Although Yuji Itadori was confused, he still responded to Aoi Todou nicely, not knowing that this was the beginning of their brief brotherhood.
After Yuji Itadori answered, Aoi Todou suddenly burst into tears and stood there for a long time, then shouted something like "best friend, brother", rushed up and kicked Yuji Itadori out of the field, ending the game in this "gentle" way in the sorcerer's personal battle.
After that, Aoi Todoh has been pestering Yuji Itadori unilaterally. Although Yuji Itadori was confused about this, he quickly became familiar with Aoi Todoh.
"Although he seems difficult to get along with, his thinking is different from that of ordinary people and he has a bad temper, Dongtang is actually a very soft-hearted and righteous person at heart."
Kamo Kento, a third-year student at Kyoto School who is in the same class as Todou Aoi, fixed his gaze on Fushiguro Megumi.
"But I can understand why Toudou was so sure after just one meeting that 'this person has similarities with me', just like you must be very clear that we are the same kind."
Fushiguro Megumi was too lazy to refute: "If you mean by species and gender, then there are many of your kind here."
"I mean, both of us were once given a heavy burden by being born into the bloodline of the Three Great Families."
The former leader of the three great families was pacified by Gojo Satoru, and his biological father, who forced his mother away, was killed as a rebel. Kamo Kenji, who was trained as the successor of the Kamo family, seemed to have unloaded the burden in his heart. He finally no longer had to live under pressure and cautiously for the expectations of others, and his every word and action was not free.
As for the Kamo family?
Kamo Kenki: If only I, a concubine, were the only one of my generation to inherit the ancestral curse, I wouldn't have been forcibly adopted by the mistress as the direct heir, and my mother wouldn't have been driven away. If it weren't for the agreement with my mother, who would want to stay in a place like the Gosanke? Damn it, Kamo family!
In contrast, Fushiguro Megumi's view of the Zenin family is: "The Zenin family who abused my stinky father and Maki-mai seniors? If Gojo-sensei hadn't brought me out back then, I would have grown up in this shabby place, and my sister would have died outside without anyone to take care of her. The Zenin family deserves death."
Nishimiya Momo sighed inwardly and replied to the text message from Mechanical Maru on her phone... No, it was time to call him by his real name [Yokokichi].
Yukichi is also a person with heaven and curse bondage, but unlike Zenin Maki and Fushiguro Shinobu, his heaven and curse bondage is not "curse power for body", but "body for curse power", which makes him a disabled person who cannot move freely since birth.
For this reason, he created a mechanical cursed skeleton called [Mechanical Maru] to act on his behalf.
He and Kokichi are in love with Kasumi Miwa, a first-year student at Kyoto School. Even though Kasumi Miwa also has feelings for him, and even though the entire Kyoto School knows what they are thinking, Kokichi's physical pain and disability make him unable to get rid of his inner inferiority and unable to express his inner feelings to Kasumi Miwa.
However, this situation changed after Geto Suguru received the special cursed spirit that could distort other people's bodies. After listening to the explanation of the situation by his old schoolmate An Utahime, Geto Suguru went to press the real person's head and asked him to heal the disability of Kokichi.
Today was their first date after Kokichi confessed his love to Kasumi Miwa, so as soon as the get out of class was over, they ran off to prepare for the date. Five minutes later, they didn't meet Yuji Itadori when he came into the class and said he needed surgery.
Nishimiya Momo sighed and answered the question about her date with Kokichi seriously.
If she had known that she would encounter such a heavy thing if she went a step later to copy notes, she would have followed him out.
It's better to be their relationship advisor remotely and be fed dog food than to watch the deathbed farewell of peers here.
The gloomy atmosphere didn't last long. Just as Nishimiya Tao sent the message, the operating room door opened and the mysterious sorcerer who called himself "Ghost Shadow" walked out. "It's done. Who of you can help carry him back to the dormitory or bring some blankets? He'll probably need a few more hours of sleep."
Everyone turned their heads to look behind Cheng Xiaoyu, and saw Yuji Itadori lying on the operating table, soundly sleeping, intact. He was still wearing the same sports vest as when he went in, and he hadn't even taken off his socks.
In this world, the body and the soul are closely related. Seeing that Yuji Itadori is breathing steadily and has no missing body parts, you know that there is nothing wrong with him.
This is even more incredible.
The operating table hasn't even been warmed up yet, and the unheard-of operation of separating Sukuna's soul is already over?
Even those who knew Cheng Xiaoyu's true identity were surprised by this speed.
Kugisaki Nobara: "So fast? Is it really clean?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "It wouldn't have been this fast originally, but I happened to have performed too many soul surgeries recently. Although the lesions were different, I still got better at it."
Perhaps this is the only good thing Kyubey has done.
Rushing into the operating room, Toudou Aoi noticed that Cheng Xiaoyu came out empty-handed, and there was nothing else in the operating room. "Where's the separated Sukuna soul?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Su Nuo just wanted to play a desperate game, but I thought it would be too troublesome to keep him fresh and subdue him, so I simply put him in a very safe place while he was still fresh."
"Where?"
"belch."
Everyone in Tokyo School:!
Everyone in Kyoto School:?
Cheng Xiaoyu: "It's a very safe place anyway, there's no need for the kids to know."
Ieiri Glass: "...It's indeed safe. Could you please take Yuji-san to the school clinic? He can't keep sleeping on the operating table. It would be bad if he catches a cold."
After sending the children away, Ieiri Naoko asked, "Did you really eat Sukuna?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: "What's the problem with that? Didn't he plan to use these divided souls to die together with Itadori Yuji? Anyway, there is still another 'self' alive. I call this not wasting food."
"That's not the problem," said Ieiri Naoko. "I'm just a little curious. I heard Gojo Satoru complain before that the taste of Sukuna's curse was not to your liking. I didn't expect you to eat it so decisively this time."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "That's different. This time it's fresh. The taste of cured meat is definitely different from fresh meat. And as I said, he himself doesn't want to live anymore. I'm just fulfilling his wish."
Ieiri Shoko: "Did Sukuna really come out just now? I didn't notice at all."
There were so many people outside just now, but I didn't feel any leakage of cursed energy.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Because I pulled the operating table into the shadows as soon as I closed the door. I had already guessed that guy was going to cause trouble, so I was on guard the whole time."
"Speaking of which, I'm curious why you call Sukuna Fingers bacon," said Ieiri Shoko. "If you were to consider it based on the physical reasons for its formation, it should be considered jerky. But if you consider that it can restore certain original properties through special means, then the metaphor of 'freeze-dried' might be more appropriate."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "You have a point, but Sukuna's finger isn't as cheap as most freeze-dried foods sound. I think considering it's a great choice for visiting friends and family among knowledgeable individuals, and it can also be used to make nourishing soups, I tend to classify it as a dried food alongside dried scallops, abalone, and sea cucumbers."
It’s a pity that Sukuna’s finger cannot be mass-produced, otherwise Cheng Xiaoyu would have even thought of an advertising slogan to sell it to other demons and wizards.
[Sukuna's Finger, containing a great deal of magic and curses, is naturally healthy. Your perfect choice for refining medicine and healing at home or on the go.]
