Chapter 266 Extra 1.3: Banlai and Wu's trip to the Science World Comic Exhibition...
The two smiled at each other, and the slightly gloomy atmosphere returned to its former lightness.
There was a dessert stand in front of them, with white chocolates of cursed characters on display. This, as expected, attracted Gojo Satoru's attention.
"Oh~~ Principal Yemo has a rare white chocolate." Gojo Satoru picked up the transparent box of chocolates and said with a grin, "But Principal Yemo's face should be dark chocolate - I'll take this box back and show it to Principal Yemo."
"It's a good thing to bring gifts to elders, but I suggest you just give the gift and don't say anything."
"Hey - why?"
"Because you can get people angry when you open your mouth." Jiang Lai's eyes were half-mooned, and he shook his head helplessly, "The principal has been working very hard, so don't get angry with him. Be careful that he gets really angry one day and exposes your college's dark history."
Their conversation was not deliberately lowered, and they mentioned various names very directly.
But no one would think there is anything wrong with it. After all, this is a comic convention, and it is reasonable for the coser to have dialogues that fit the character's image.
The stall owners and tourists who heard the conversation between Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru were very calm. Rather than guessing the probability of the real person passing through such a comet hitting the earth, they felt that this was more like a script interpretation between cosplayers.
"Huh? Are you kidding? The strongest person doesn't have a dark history~" Gojo Satoru waved his hands casually. He began to think, "If the principal reveals any dark history, I will tell others that he actually cried while watching Hana○Bobo in the office."
Jiang Lai: "...Didn't you already say that?"
"That doesn't count! Lai is not someone else." Gojo Satoru smiled and put his hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder, but considerately didn't touch Jiang Lai's long hair. "Besides, if we really want to talk about dark history, back then - it's obvious that Jie has more dark history."
"Ah, besides this squinty-eyed fox sculpture, I'll bring a comic book back later so that Jay can see what he looked like when he was a middle school student." Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his lips, put one hand on his chin, and aimed at the bookshelf.
After all the suffering, they can now look back on the past with a happy attitude.
Neither Gojo Satoru nor Geto Suguru are the kind of people who dwell on the sorrow of the past. Instead of avoiding talking about it, they would rather bring it up and discuss the past from a different perspective in a joking way.
Jiang Lai began to feel some sympathy for Xia Yujie. Not only did he have to deal with so many piles of documents, but he was also waiting for the "black history gift" that his friends were eager to get.
Not far ahead is a row of bookstalls. Looking from a distance, you can see colorful comic books placed on them.
Gojo Satoru dropped his arm from Jiang Lai's shoulder and took two steps forward with his long legs.
Jiang Lai walked slowly behind, slightly slower than Gojo Satoru.
He looked far ahead at the high-traffic stalls, thinking: The stall selling official comic books, he remembered it was outside the venue not long after he came in. This is a doujin street, could there be a stall selling official comic books?
When he got closer, he could see clearly what was placed above from this distance.
Although the title is a little unclear, judging from the style of the painting, what is sold here is indeed not a comic book, but a doujinshi book——!!
Gojo Satoru, who arrived a few steps earlier than Jiang Lai, had already picked up a book and started reading.
"This painting style is quite nice," Gojo Satoru stared at the book with his blue eyes, looking quite interested. "I've never seen this plot before, it's really interesting, I'll take it back and give it to the lovely students."
"...Wait, not everything can be given to students as a gift!" Jiang Lai quickly took the comic book from Gojo Satoru's hand, quickly glanced at the cover, and first confirmed that there were no special icons - good, it was a book for all ages.
You should know that comic conventions in Japan allow the sale of adult-oriented fan books (but you need to show proof of age to buy them). So the logo on the cover is very important.
I don’t think Satoru would be so crazy as to give students adult books…
"What's wrong, Lai?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly and blinked his beautiful blue eyes. "This comic is a cute four-frame comic in the anime style of Itadori and his friends. It feels very suitable. Oh, my spicy teacher gave them such a thoughtful gift, they will definitely be moved to tears~"
Jiang Lai glanced at the cover, the title was "Everyday Stories in the Zoo of Jujutsu High School". It looked like a heartwarming friendship doujinshi.
So he breathed a sigh of relief and handed it back to Gojo Satoru: "This book is fine. If you want to take it with you, I'll pay for it."
Only then did Jiang Lai begin to focus his attention on this stall.
The Curse Back street stalls here are very rare and are divided according to categories such as Baji, figures, and fan books, rather than according to CP or CB attribute content.
So this entire bookstall is filled with all kinds of fan fiction of different natures interspersed together.
Jiang Lai: ...How can there be such a division? ! Are they really not going to fight?
Although Jiang Lai doesn't read much fan fiction, he has made a point to learn about fan culture before. He also learned a lot of new terms and knowledge from the forum.
At this moment, Jiang Lai had a strong desire to complain. He originally thought that if they were divided according to their attributes, he could take Gojo Satoru to find those friendship-oriented people to make notebooks as gifts for the students.
But now, all the doujinshi are intertwined, and there may even be books hidden among them that require proof of age...
Jiang Lai held his head with an inexplicable feeling of parental melancholy.
Gojo Satoru didn't seem to think too much about it. He simply found it interesting and was still interested. He walked briskly along the bookstall.
Although he did not go forward to read it, his eyes had already moved over the cover of the book placed on it, and the white-haired man spoke happily.
“Who are those people kissing in that picture? Hahaha, they are so funny when they kiss!! — Look, I’ll take a picture and send it to them.”
"Hey, you are on the cover of this book, the painting style is very beautiful, but I actually need to show proof of age."
"Oh oh! Come on, is that me drawn in that book? Oh, I'm in the book on the other side too. Ah, I'm in the book over there too - oh my, as expected, an invincible handsome guy like me is popular and can be seen everywhere~~"
"... Stop thinking, Wu." Jiang Lai twitched his lips. He pulled the sleeve of the other person's beautiful kimono from a thousand years ago. "I never thought that you could face these things so calmly."
"Why not?" Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nonchalantly, "As you told me before, fan fiction is also a way to express emotions. Although the contents of these books are different, they are all expressions of love."
"Since you love me, why can't you face it calmly?" He smiled, his eyes bright and handsome, and with his long hair dressed in the style of a thousand years ago, he exuded a natural nobility.
Gojo Satoru has been the center of attention since he was a child, and he never tires of accepting all kinds of passionate emotions.
Gojo Satoru put his hands behind his head, like a leisurely white cat, and drew out his words: "As for the content... well, I never care about other people's opinions anyway, so from a first-person perspective, many stories are quite interesting."
Jiang Lai blinked slightly, then let go of Gojo Satoru's hand, and smiled slowly: "Well... what you said makes sense. These are indeed ways to express love, but everyone understands it differently."
"If you look at it from a first-person perspective, you can see a lot of character analysis and understanding from the perspective of others." Jiang Lai paused and said seriously, "But, students are still not allowed to bring back strange notebooks."
"Ah?? This is so unfair. I am a very good teacher with a very high moral character. How could I give students such strange notebooks?"
Gojo Satoru leaned back and patted his friend's back jokingly, "Come to think of it, what do you mean by the weird book you mentioned? You seem to know a lot about it~"
"As a top hacker and forum visitor, it's normal to know a lot. There's no harm in having more knowledge." Jiang Lai looked calm as he stuffed a fanfiction book into Gojo Satoru's arms. "I just took a rough look at this book. It's very heartwarming. Let's take it back to the kids."
"Okay." Gojo Satoru took it.
He seemed to be interested in the other books as well, and even wanted to look at a book marked for adults - but was pulled away by Jiang Lai.
"What a pity," Gojo Satoru let Jiang Lai lead him away, but he said, "I haven't finished reading it yet."
"If you don't want to buy it, you'd better read less of the trial copy, otherwise you will disturb other people's normal transactions. After all, the trial copy is limited." Jiang Lai said, "You can't buy them all, right?"
"Is it not possible?" The wealthy Gojo Satoru waved his hands, "I'll pay you back when I get back, and you can buy all the books on the stall!" He tapped his right palm with his left hand with great interest, "Oh! Let's hold a fan book cultural exchange meeting for the students next time! It's very meaningful and interesting~"
"Hey - not everything can be taught!" Jiang Lai complained, "By the way, we only brought the two books just now. We can explain them as small surprises specially drawn by someone. If you bring more, how will you tell the students? Currently, only you and I know about the comic observation."
"Oh, okay." Gojo Satoru shrugged. "For the sake of social stability, these need to be kept secret. I know." He sighed exaggeratedly. "It seems that we can't hold any doujinshi exchange meeting." Gojo Satoru said in a joking tone.
Jiang Lai originally wanted to reply to Gojo Satoru, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
——In fact, there are many familiar faces at the comic convention. After all, “The Curse of the Demons” is a very popular anime, and there are still a lot of cosplayers.
But the familiar figure that Jiang Lai noticed...was not just familiar in appearance.
There were many people gathered at the turning ahead, and in the middle stood a man with cherry pink hair. His upper body was bare, with black lines running along his muscles.
The noisy crowd around him seemed to want to take a photo with him. Their enthusiastic voices were resounding.
"Ah, it's the Sukuna cosplayer!! What a great body, so handsome oooooooo!!"
"Excuse me, Sukuna-sama, can I take a photo with you?"
The sakura-haired man looked unhappy, and his consciousness moved under his lowered fingertips - Jiang Lai recognized that this was the attacking posture of Ryomen Sukuna.
... Could it really be Ryoumen Sukuna? ! How did he come to the comic convention? ?
Could it be because of the time-space gate and the inner and outer worlds? Jiang Lai thought. When he opened the door in the outer world, the corresponding inner world also opened, and Sukuna happened to be there at that time.
So Sukuna was also sent here through the gate of time and space.
But the good thing is that no matter who comes here, they have to abide by the rules of the scientific world.
Ryomen Sukuna has no cursed power here, and even though he is the King of Curses, he is just a human with good physical strength here.
While Jiang Lai was thinking, Ryoumen Sukuna also caught a glimpse of the two people. He narrowed his scarlet eyes, pushed the people around him away without any hesitation, and strode towards Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru.
The coming force is overwhelming.
Jiang Lai raised his eyes.
Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly and let out a light click of the tongue.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze.
The fans who were just pushed away had the first reaction of being stunned, and then looked at Sukuna walking towards Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru in surprise, and after being stunned, they jumped for joy with curiosity.
"Wow, this is a really good cosplayer! His appearance and aura are just like the real thing! Is this an official special performance?"
Jiang Lai knew this was not a performance, but he was not nervous.
Everyone has no magical power, so there is no serious damage. And he has a secret weapon -
Jiang Lai holds the old book, which is also known as the mobile phone.
——The secret weapon is naturally the weapon of law.
If you stir up trouble, you will go to jail!
In the world of science, of course we must use scientific methods.
