Hellfire 06
If the mind and actions are trapped, neither can be happy.
People with extraordinary talent and brilliance are like shooting stars that streak across the sky in a dreamy way, and they are used to make wishes.
*
Five petals of soft, orange-yellow matter were placed before you, trying to whet your appetite.
You stare intently at the thorny shell.
Does it hurt if you poke it with your hand? It definitely doesn't hurt.
Sea urchin with wasabi sauce.
Sea urchin, sea urchin... Do I know sea urchin?
You placed your hands heavily on the table, trying hard to look relaxed and calm.
"dislike?"
You said "hmm".
The edible part is the ovary of the sea urchin.
And it’s eaten raw.
Sorry, Japanese people may not care about this.
You are not really Japanese.
"Jay looks very tired. Didn't you get enough rest last night? It's 11 o'clock in the morning now, and we slept until the sun was shining on our butts."
"The hygiene conditions in the hotel are terrible." Geto Suguru frowned and looked disgusted.
Does he want to say something to you?
Jay is no longer the melancholy fifteen-year-old boy you could see through the moment you met him.
He's deep in thought now. You've always believed that using magic to peer into your friends' hearts is a sign of extreme distrust in friendship.
For a while you wanted to peek into Jay's mind.
You finally held back.
Has Jie recovered from the blow dealt to him by Shen'er? Does the shadow of death still hang over him? Shen'er is no match for him. Jie should look forward.
Can he do it? Yes he can.
You should trust the kind and gentle Geto Suguru.
"Eh? My room is fine. I wonder if Jay cleaned the room before going to sleep... Sorry..."
"No need to apologize," said Geto. "It's good to have a room available during Obon. The hotel must be very busy."
"If you don't like it, let's go eat something else. Wanko soba is another specialty of Iwate."
"That's a very typical answer from Jay. Jay, do you want to eat soba all over Japan?" You teased him, trying to ease the sudden indignation in the environment.
"I don't have that ambition." Geto Xia Yu called the waiter to pay the bill.
"Jay, I'll wait for you outside."
Sky.
Bathed in the sun, we feel the urge to spread our wings and soar. Yet, humans lack wings. People have always endowed flying with countless beautiful images. Even if we break our wings and fall, we can still retell a poignant poem of mourning.
Why am I suddenly so sad?
Touch the sky.
My sky.
I've kept Wu waiting for too long.
You answer the phone.
"Moshi Moshi~"
Gojo Satoru first called your name sweetly and acted coquettishly, and then asked you when you would return to the technical high school.
"Let me think about it, Satoru. Jie and I haven't had lunch yet. After lunch, we're going to buy souvenirs for Satoru, Naoko, and the others before heading to the station. It'll probably take another 3 to 4 hours."
"Hatsuchan, you're talking like you're on a date with Jay! I'm so sad~"
"My favorite person is Wu La."
That's exactly what Satoru wanted to hear you say. Sure enough, his tone brightened a bit, and he started rambling about how Tsu Miki kept looking for him and how he couldn't handle little girls, about how Kei always fought him and he always won, about how Ryoko next door never treated him well...
Gojo Satoru said these things just to make you go back earlier.
You understand him.
"I will complete the above tasks as quickly as possible, Wu."
After you made your promise, Gojo Satoru stopped his cheerful tone and switched to a deeper voice: "Hatsuchan stayed up late."
"Don't say it, Satoru. Besides, Satoru obviously stayed up late too."
"Are you the same as me?" Gojo Satoru was immediately defeated by you. He yelled, then quickly adjusted his tone and refuted you righteously: "I have a reversal technique! I can keep myself in top condition all the time!"
"But mental fatigue won't go away. Don't you know the saying, 'The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life,'" Wu said. "Don't keep waiting for me to reply. It's not good for your health."
This guy texted you at 8pm last night asking if you slept in... It's a tough question. If you replied, you definitely didn't, but if you didn't, you might or might not have. As is your style, you wouldn't reply. You don't lie. But when you get to the hotel, you find Gojo Satoru has texted you again, asking if you slept in. You tell him, "I'll be right there." He immediately responds with a "."
The result was that both of them found out that the other had stayed up late.
"I'm young and strong." He said this to you in a proud and confident tone. Before you could reply, Gojo Satoru announced cheerfully, "Hatsu-chan, sleep with me from now on~ That way, I promise that neither you nor I will stay up late~"
"No. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable for Wu?"
“But the joy and excitement are real too!”
"Teacher Yemo will punish you."
"Let's move out."
“It’s too far.”
…
"Hatsuchan is such a hard-hearted woman! She can even reject a handsome, dashing, and charming Gojo Satoru... such an invincible handsome guy!"
Wu couldn't argue with you, so his final words meant he gave up.
"Don't be so impatient, Wu. I'm afraid Wu will get tired of me if he stays with me every day."
“How could it be!”
Didn't I express enough love for her to make her think that he would get bored of her in the future?
How is that possible!
Gojo Satoru was certain and certain that he would never break up with you. Absolutely not. He only wanted to be with you, and only with you. Spending too much time together and getting bored? That was impossible for a sorcerer. Especially since both of them were so busy. Gojo Satoru had always felt that you spent too little time with him, that you had too little time for him.
Even if, even if they grew tired of each other after being together for too long, that would be many years in the future. Furthermore, even then, Gojo Satoru would never let go.
Unless you say you don't love him anymore.
This is impossible!
Gojo Satoru's love for you will always exist, and your love for Gojo Satoru will also always exist!
You and Gojo Satoru will be together forever.
"Wu has been thinking a lot. Even though I'm far away, I know. I like Wu, I love Wu, and I can tell Wu many times. So...Wu, can you give me some freedom? It seems like Wu is always by my side no matter what I do."
"I even think Satoru is in Iwate right now. And Satoru won't let go of other things just for me, so Satoru will push himself. This is not good, Satoru. You promised me."
I will not sacrifice myself for others.
Even if that person is you.
"Hatsuchan..." Gojo Satoru's tone softened, "Don't you miss me?"
"Satoru, we met yesterday and we'll meet today. All I can think about is wanting to see you and being able to see you."
Isn't this missing you? He wants to see you too!
I'll see you.
This is what you want to emphasize.
Gojo Satoru's mood jumped up: "はつちゃん~"
"Where is Satoru now?"
“…”
"Tokyo Station." Gojo Satoru quickly added, "I'm done with my work. I'd better go back and play with the kids..."
Gojo Satoru: QAQ
"I'll accompany Satoru."
Gojo Satoru: ╮(‵▽′)╭
Satisfied.
"Well, I'm hanging up now."
"Come back soon."
"Um."
You turned around and saw Jay standing behind you.
"Sorry, Jay, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Not very long." Geto Suguru shook his head.
What were you thinking about when はつちゃん was chatting with Satoru, Xia Yujie?
[My favorite person is Wu La.]
Don’t you know?
Date, what kind of date is this?
Eat together and go shopping together.
Not even holding hands.
"Let's choose orange cake as a souvenir for Wu and the teachers. Nozomi doesn't like sweets... Does Jie have any suggestions?"
"Me? Morioka Grim."
"Jie really loves Lengmian deeply~" You teased him, and he laughed in response to you.
You lean over the railing, gazing into the distance, clutching your straw hat, which is about to be blown away by the wind. It's a hat you bought casually on the street for sun protection. It's beautifully woven.
"Jay, don't you want to come and enjoy the breeze with me?"
You stand on high and look down at him.
Geto Suguru walks up the stairs towards you step by step.
Jie has a gentle, bright face, unlike Wu's, which is full of aggression. You might ask, "Wu has a childlike face, so where does the aggression come from?" But when Jie and Wu stand together, people generally feel that Jie is the more talkative one.
This was indeed the case. It was always Jie who persuaded Wu.
Geto Suguru leans against you.
A feeling of sadness, indescribable, permeated his heart. He should have placed his hand on yours. You would have glanced back, then, with a bright smile, thrown yourself into his arms. Then he could stroke your soft hair and whisper something in your ear. Affectionate words, funny words, it didn't matter. You wouldn't care; you would have expressed your opinion, and that would have kept the conversation going.
Just like, just like last night.
When you hugged him last night, his body was so stiff. He didn't do anything. His hands hung helplessly in the air, and he didn't even dare to put his hands on your back.
"Will Jay and Satoru come to my show?"
show?
Geto's face turned cold for a moment. He placed his hand on yours and then smiled again: "Can you please stop being an idol, はつちゃん?"
Jay said this in a casual tone, but he acted tough.
"Tell me why, Jay."
"First," Geto Suguru extended his index finger with his other hand, "how does Hazuchan's body endure a performance that lasts so long?"
"Using a technique to trick the body will take a long time to recover."
Is that so? Geto Suguru smiled in the shadows.
Geto Xia Yu raised his middle finger and said, "Second, does Hazuchan know what kind of people his fans are?"
This question makes you quite confused.
"This issue is very important to me, Yuki."
"Most of them...are people who work hard. My performances can relieve their stress, and I can also—"
You were interrupted by Geto Suguru: "Most of it? What about the other small part?"
Jay is angry.
Wu would be angry with you about this, too. But Jie never was. You always thought he was supportive, but Jie himself didn't like music. You knew that for Jie, the most important thing was the curse spirit and the curse master.
Jay was inexplicably angry.
"There are good and bad people in every group." You think this answer is very standard.
Good guy? Bad guy?
All humans are the same! No, that's not human. Humans won't abandon the sincerity of humankind! Only humans can support each other! Just like what Satoru and Hantsu-chan have always done for him! When faced with a depressed companion, he won't laugh or mock, but only care and love.
This is what human beings are like!
"I know what Hatsu-chan means." Geto retracted his outstretched fingers, clenched his hand into a fist, and placed it behind his back. All the anger in his body seemed to be contained in this fist, and he could smile at you as usual: "Hatsu-chan knows your fans..."
He obviously didn't want to tell you about this.
He had clearly planned to discuss this matter with Wu and Nozomi after returning.
I can't help it.
He must know the despicableness of those monkeys.
Why did you smile at me when you heard this? Shouldn't you be shocked, upset, and even sad?
"Is that so..." You thought Gosho was going to say something serious. If fans use your name to do bad things, you really have to punish them. It's not uncommon for this to happen. You don't want to become a religious leader like Tengen-sama. If you become a god, you can't be human.
"I expected this to happen. Or rather, it's a very common thing. Doesn't Jay know? Jay is so simple... And it's true, it seems that the only women Jay knows well are me and Naoko. Jay doesn't know Mei-senpai and Iori-senpai very well..."
What?
What does はつちゃん mean?
She knows!? She knows why she still...
Geto Suguru couldn't understand.
Jie and Wu's attitude towards sex is conservative, unlike that of Japanese men.
A long time ago, Jay expressed extreme shock and discomfort at the sight of a woman like you entering and leaving brothels.
He still had a look of shock and discomfort on his face.
"I can't deprive others of their right to fantasize. I hate this kind of thing too." You express your attitude to Geto Suguru. No one would want to be the object of sexual fantasy for someone they don't like, right?
But being a public figure is inevitable. It doesn't matter if you're beautiful or ugly. Your appearance is given by your mother, so you like it no matter what.
It is not beauty that brings disaster, but people who have evil intentions towards beauty; it is not ugliness that brings disaster, but people who are prejudiced against ugliness.
You can protect yourself. These choices are yours to make. You can bear the consequences of your choices. You always remember Kiyoko's teachings.
"Jay, relax. Even if a fan I particularly like asks to remember my appearance, I won't make an exception for her. I treat all fans the same. You are the only ones who know the real me."
"They knew Meibuki Yuzhi, not me."
You would visit Kuroi and your grandmother, but you have not yet visited Miss Midorikawa or Lord Tengen.
"You know what? Actually, Meibuki-san's music... is sad. She's just portraying happiness, and she might actually think she's happy. But she's actually very sad. Her previous music... was sad, but overall it was positive. But... but, lately, the sadness has become nothingness..."
Why are we born and why do we die?
The meaning of life and death does not exist in itself.
I am alive only because there are people I love in this world.
"But isn't that all you!?"
Geto pulled you over, his fist wrapped around your waist. Yesterday, you were the one who lost your composure, but today, it's him. Feeling his trembling body, you patted his back. "Geto, no one else knows who's in that photo."
"If we don't know, can we just pretend it didn't happen?"
"yes."
Yuki is escaping, just like him.
"Can you please stop being an idol?"
"No." You pushed Geto away and said firmly, "I want to save more people. Unlike Geto and Satoru, the technique that Nozomi and I use means we have to constantly interact with people."
Then make them all your puppets.
You can do it, right?
I can do it.
"Getsu feels that he is strong and should protect others. I don't deny Getsu's kindness. Getsu has noble morals and a good conscience. But Getsu shouldn't let kindness, morality, and conscience constrain you. Before we consider others, we must first consider ourselves."
When a strong person sticks to his conscience, he is the only one who suffers.
Before we think about others, we think about ourselves first.
I forgot about it.
Because she failed to save Riko, she wanted to be the savior.
There was no way she could succeed.
How can a base person understand a noble person?
"Well... since you're so stubborn, I can't say anything more." Geto let go of you, as if nothing had happened. "By the way, do Satoru and Nozomi know?" He touched the back of his head and said casually.
"Know."
They know.
Geto Suguru couldn't tell how he felt right now.
He was the only one who objected.
No, they all objected.
He was the only one who strongly opposed it.
"We'll graduate next year, what do you think?"
"Ah..." Your sadness vanished, and you enthusiastically recounted to Geto Suguru, "After the national tour, I'll be reducing my idol activities. My abilities are stronger than before, and since I can directly exorcise the cursed spirits of an entire city, there's no need for such roundabout methods. I'll just need to hold performances in Tokyo regularly."
"This would free up the sorcerers and free them up to travel to other parts of the country to exorcise cursed spirits. But it would also create new problems. As far as I know, there are no more than a handful of 'windows' in the entire Iwate Prefecture, and these 'windows' have their own duties to perform. If Mr. Yamaguchi didn't happen to live there, the cursed spirit in the apartment building would have killed several people before being noticed..."
You cheered yourself up. "Tokyo has been a stronghold for spellcasters for years, but other places aren't. There's a lot of work to do, and I'm hoping Jay can help me."
"I will."
Geto Summer Oil smiled.
Don't reveal your true self, put on a mask to disguise yourself, and live by pretending to love humanity.
that's all.
There is still a glimmer of light in life.
Just follow the light.
You smiled back, "Let's go back to the technical high school."
"This Christmas..."
"I'll have time to eat strawberry cake with Jay this Christmas."
"Jie, you know, I didn't even know that we had to eat strawberry cake for Christmas. Eating strawberry cake for Christmas was a custom that only started in Japan during the Showa era..."
"When I first met Kokoro, I thought Kokoro was someone who came out of the Heian Era."
"You're exaggerating, Jay. The Zenin family is indeed a bit strict with me...Naoya can even wear jeans at home."
"Naoya? Didn't Satoru tell Jie about this? He's my brother..."
…
"Jay is younger than me and Satoru, right?"
Jay is also my younger brother.
"Strictly speaking, Satoru and I are both 17 now." Geto Suguru has had his birthday, but Gojo Satoru hasn't!
Who is the younger brother?
I asked you who is your younger brother?
I'm not your younger brother!!
"The year Satoru and I were born, Japan changed its era name to 'Heisei.' 'Heisei' means 'internal peace and external success,' 'peace on earth and in heaven.' 'Heisei' has been given the beautiful vision of 'achieving peace within the country and abroad, and between heaven and earth.'"
"Peace... is wonderful..."
"Do you like peace?"
"Who wouldn't like peace, Jay?"
