Finale 06
It’s enlightenment again.
"Why didn't you say 'Me and Satoru' today?"
"Jie left Wu behind. Wu is so pitiful." I am about to separate from Jie.
"How is Wu pitiful? Am I the one who is pitiful? I have to go against both of you at the same time." Xia Yujie said angrily.
No response.
"はつちゃん?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"The sun is out."
"So excited for what, Mimiko."
"We haven't seen the sun in a long time, Nanako."
"What's so good about the sun?" Nanako sullenly looked at the rising sun with Mimiko.
This is the last dawn of your life.
The sun shines brightly on the earth, and the scorching sun hurts your eyes.
"You can't look straight ahead after being in the dark for too long..."
"We are not ordinary people, Master Getsu."
Two wisps of almost transparent clouds look down at you gently.
Mom...? Dad...?
I must be crazy.
Are you here to pick me up? I don't know if where I'm going is the same place you're at. If I'm lucky... I might even end up back in the world I came from.
This is of course your delusion.
Who knows what the world is like after death? Only the dead know.
I will die.
I chose to bury myself and correct my mistakes.
"Give this headband back to Jay. I won't be using it again."
"Are you going to break up with me so soon? I'll be sad. Keep it as a souvenir of our past times."
"Take it, Jay. Just think of it as a souvenir of our old times."
You push each other.
"No one gives a gift and then takes it back."
"Take it, Jay. I don't have anything else to give you."
Something's wrong... There's something wrong with Yuki.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the Polytechnic College."
"No thanks. Let's just say goodbye here, Jay."
"Hatsuchan." The smile on Geto's face gradually disappeared. "I can send you to a technical high school."
"No."
"I'll take you back to the high school."
"I told you no, Jay. Let's not go."
"Then... we'll be enemies next time we meet?"
Next time? There won't be a next time.
"This is goodbye forever, Jay."
Goodbye…?
"If, if I am caught by Wu, I will definitely be sent to see Hatsu-chan, right?" Geto Suguru said in panic.
How could this be a farewell forever?!
I don't hate him like this. Why would I never see him again?
"Don't you want to get caught?"
"Since Hatsuchan doesn't want to go back to the technical high school, then come defect with me and become a curse caster." Geto Suguru grabbed your hand.
I have a bad feeling—Suguru Takeshi carefully examines your face. Why is it so quiet?
It's like, it's like—[This "specific cursed spirit"'s" ability is probably to drive people to commit suicide.]
When Yuki said this.
"Don't blame yourself! You really don't blame yourself! I did everything! It was my own choice! Ha-chan! Only two scumbags died!" Geto Suguru screamed at the top of his lungs. He regretted it, he should have been more patient—trash! Trash! It only caused trouble for the sorcerer!
"Jay! Calm down."
"Lord Xia You."
"Calm down? You want me to calm down? How can I calm down when you are about to die!!!"
Jay is so perceptive... He actually guessed it. Also... maybe it's because you've become so sentimental as time draws near.
"Tell me what you're going to do? Tell me. Otherwise I won't let you go. I won't let you go..."
Do you want to tell Jay the truth?
Shuiyue's affairs must not be known. You are the only one in this world who knows the concept of "Hai Si".
But……
"I shouldn't exist." This truth is too cruel.
"Yes, I'm dying."
"はつちゃん——"
"Jay's gripping it too hard. It's hurting me."
"Even if it hurts you, I won't let go." Xia Yujie emphasized again: "I won't let go."
How did Jay's usually gentle face take on such a crazy expression?
"I always have to leave when it's time. Even if Jay doesn't let go, I can leave." You lowered your head, unable to bear to look at him.
"Why?" This was the only question that Geto Suguru could ask.
"There is a cursed spirit that I need to exorcise."
"Exorcise the cursed spirit? Can't you defeat it, Hanatsuchan? I'll go with you..."
You shook your head.
"Very strong? Then let's call Wu as well—"
You continue to shake your head.
"はつちゃん!"
Jie likes to call you by your name much more than Wu does. It's probably because when you first met him, you told him that his name wasn't important. Once he knew your name, he remembered it and loved calling it.
"This is a 'specific' cursed spirit, and only I can exorcise it."
"just me."
This is a trap designed just for you.
That person isn't willing to wait a hundred years, and you can't grant him what he wants. Everyone at the academy... especially Wu, will absolutely not agree to cremating the body. As long as the body exists, there's always the possibility of a loophole. You don't know how far he's infiltrated the higher echelons of the Jujutsu, nor do you know what use he has for your technique.
Rule the world? That's definitely not what he wants to do. But one thing is for sure: your technique will provide him with great convenience.
"Why?"
"Hatsu-chan. I've never heard of a curse that required someone to exorcise it. I've also never heard of a curse being exorcised even after the sorcerer died."
“Hatsu-chan cursed someone? If you don’t want to do it… Satoru and I can help…”
You've been shaking your head these past few days.
"No one is cursed."
"Then why—"
"I said the wrong thing, Jay."
"It's not a purification, but a sacrifice. Only by sacrificing me can I avert this impending disaster."
"I don't agree!"
"This isn't something Jie Tong disagrees with. This is a designated mission. A mission only I can complete."
"Who nominated you? Ye Moth or Tian Yuan? Come with me--"
"I named it myself."
"はつちゃん!!!"
"Jay, stop yelling. You're scaring the kids."
"We weren't frightened."
"Then I was wrong. Sorry." You didn't want to argue with Jie about this. After all, your mind was made up, and there was no turning back, even if Wu stood in front of you.
"Why does it have to be Yuki?"
"If Jay wants to explain...it's because that cursed spirit loves me."
You love him too.
So the cursed spirit is what evolved in the ocean.
And no matter what kind of curse spirit evolves, it is because he loves you.
【If I love you, I'll let you die!!!?】
“Well…” You slapped your cheek with your free hand, “There’s really nothing I can do about it, Jay. I want to continue staying with everyone, but for the happiness and well-being of more people, I have to die.”
【What is your relationship with those people?! 】
【Those people never knew the sorcerer's sacrifice.】
"はつちゃん is too cruel to me."
"I didn't want to tell Jay. I said 'let's not live together' so many times."
"And then? Keep us all in the dark? Would はつちゃん prefer to be classified as 'missing'?"
"Oh my... I wanted to say goodbye to everyone in person, but it's a little too late. Now that Jie knows, I'll ask Jie to tell Wu and the others."
"Please ask me? I'm a curse master now, why should I pass on a message to a sorcerer?"
"Because Jay is a sorcerer."
"はつちゃん!"
"I'm here." You smiled at Geto Suguru, "There's one thing I need to correct with Geto."
"Jie, I'm not such a selfless person. The reason I can so openly decide to let myself die is because this cursed spirit was born because of me. He is stronger than any special-grade cursed spirit Jie has ever seen."
“Enlightenment—”
You pressed your index finger against his lips. "A curse born from love cannot be exorcised by force. Do you understand what I mean, Jay? As long as I'm here, he'll be here. He was born because of me. As long as I live, he'll bring endless disasters to others."
"There's no way this makes sense, はつちゃん."
How could a cursed spirit love someone? Is this how a cursed spirit loves someone?
"Ha, I think I know what type of woman you like. Unless I'm already in love with someone, any man I meet will fall in love with Hatsu-chan the moment they meet her. The Zenin family has truly raised a succubus, don't you think, Geto-san?"
Everyone likes はつちゃん……
"Everyone likes it"
Who says love and liking are only positive emotions? Love and liking can also be negative.
Haven't you thought countless times about taking はつちゃん for yourself? Don't you want はつちゃん to only look at you? These thoughts... He didn't believe that Wu hadn't thought about them. He was even more extreme than Wu, he even thought about destroying himself if he couldn't get it.
[You want a sense of exclusivity.]
If you can't get it, you will be destroyed.
Did I curse Yuki?
That would require her to die before she could be cursed into a cursed spirit.
That cursed spirit...
Yuki is a public figure.
Those dirty, filthy actions and thoughts...
Despicable monkey.
"Hatsu-chan, can you please not sacrifice yourself?" Suguru Geto said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how many monkeys die. I originally wanted to kill all the monkeys. So-"
"That's what Jay wanted to do. Not what I wanted to do."
"The people you save will be killed by me sooner or later." Xia Yujie said coldly.
You looked at Geto Suguru: "Is this what Geto really thinks?"
"It's true." Geto Suguru spoke each word with great emphasis. He wasn't lying, but rather emphasizing the truth of the matter.
The more you emphasize something, the more it lacks.
"Go ahead and do it. I won't be around anymore anyway. I won't know anything. Jay's threatening a dead man."
Satoru will definitely stop Jie.
Enlightenment...
You look up at the sky.
Sunny day.
Why do I feel like rain is hitting me? I only got wet for a short while the night before last.
The sun is shining brightly.
Goodbye, Satoru.
And everyone.
"Hatsu-chan!" Geto Suguru held your head and held you in his arms: "I won't let you go."
"I need to go make amends, Jay."
Error? Where is the error!?
The mistake is that ordinary people should not exist in this world!!!
"Jie, we won't be able to see each other tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or any of the days to come."
"I don't want—"
"When Jay killed someone, wasn't he prepared not to see me again?"
【That’s different, that’s different! 】
【That's different, はつちゃん! 】
"Same thing. Live on, Jay."
No one can kill you.
After being sanctioned by Wu, you work with Wu in 007, and then he doesn't pay you.
Let you save the people you hate day and night.
What a severe punishment...
But those who have passed away can never come back.
"What happened to Master Getsu?" Nanako asked anxiously.
"He's been so emotionally unstable that I could easily put him to sleep. Please take care of him. He'll wake up soon."
"Are you leaving?" Mimiko tugged at your clothes. "I don't understand what you and Geto-sama are talking about. I just know that if you were on our side, we wouldn't have to miss each other."
“Don’t be so greedy, Mimiko.” You patted her head.
Mimiko is very well-behaved.
"Nanako and I have a 'Dad' again, so why can't we have a 'Mom'?"
"Mimiko, Mom and Dad need to love each other to be together."
"You clearly love Master Geto."
"Do you know what love is?"
"Why can't I understand?"
You were amused by her and reached out to touch the deer, "Thanks for your hard work."
"Here's your reward." This small bag of salt was originally for you to use to replenish your energy. You won't need it anymore.
"Go back."
"Why don't you answer me?"
"Love is so complicated, Mimiko. Everyone's idea of love is different."
"Can't you not leave?"
"Can't."
"You protect them."
Jay is unconscious, you can control this cursed spirit.
Jay would be awake in such a short time. He was also a special-grade order, and it wasn't a dangerous one, just letting him rest, and he woke up so quickly... There was no point in evaluating it.
"Grabbing Light"
"はつちゃん!"
"Master Geto, she's gone." Nanako said boredly. Love? I couldn't understand Mimiko, nor did I understand Geto, and even less so, that woman.
"Let's chase her... Which direction did she leave from?"
"We don't know, Master Getsu."
"She disappeared in an instant."
Disappeared?
The barrier technique she used—
[Jay won't study barrier techniques with me anymore?]
"Hatsu-chan, I've learned enough, haven't I? Isn't Satoru going to learn anymore?"
くそ!
くそ!
くそ!
はつちゃん!
Don't leave me alone!!!
