Desolate Echo 08
Looking out the window of the room, I could see fishing boats passing by. The sky was low, and the dark sea was calm.
Lanterns and sea.
These scenes keep changing in your mind, from an old woman to a teenager, and then to a teenager without any seams.
Poseidon
"Hatsu-chan!" Gojo Satoru's fair face flushed lightly with excitement. He happily suggested, "Let's take a hot spring bath together later!"
"I promised Naoko and the others. I can't promise Satoru here."
"Didn't you say you wanted to be with me?"
"Wu should know that it's impossible to be together all the time." You added the qualifier.
Wu's expression was so innocent and adorable. You snuggled into his arms and said, "We can spend as much time together as possible."
You stood up before he could hug you, causing Gojo Satoru to call out your name aggrievedly.
"Didn't Satoru want to tie a taiko knot for me?"
"I……"
"Wu doesn't know how to do it? I can teach you. Just like Wu taught me archery. I want to be Wu's teacher for once." You are very positive about this matter. You guess that he probably doesn't know how to do it.
Gojo Satoru tugged at your cheek and snorted, "I've learned it for you." As he spoke, he lay on the floor in a spread-eagle position and patted his arms to signal you to lie down on him.
Instead of obeying him, you leaned over his arm, looked at Gojo Satoru's face, and said, "How could Gojo Satoru, a busy man, find time to learn something like this?"
"It only takes a second to do something so simple." Gojo Satoru lifted you up and put your face against his chest.
Essentially, he's still a cocky little brat.
You were thinking this, but then you heard him say, "I've never seen はつちゃん wearing a kimono."
"I can't see Yuki wearing Shiro Muzan either."
Wu is still upset about this matter.
"Clothes are just clothes. It's the people who give them special meaning. If you want to see, Satoru, I can wear them for you anytime. Just for you. How about it?"
Gojo Satoru hugged you excitedly, stroking your hair. His thoughts were so fast that you couldn't catch up.
"I'm glad to hear that, Wu." You finally found a moment to talk to him. "Wu, you just finished your mission, right? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"I don't want to sleep. I just want to look at you." You put the sunglasses on him, but he pulled them off and threw them back to you.
"You know I'm good-looking." You took back your sunglasses and were not polite to him at all.
"He is so narcissistic."
Wu's words are not sincere.
You also want to tease him: "That's called learning by example. It's normal for the most narcissistic person in the world to learn a little bit from me when he's so close to me."
"They clearly look like a couple," Gojo Satoru retorted.
"Also, is telling the truth considered narcissism?"
"Wu, is this statement considered narcissistic?" you asked with a smile.
"No! This is the truth!"
As Gojo Satoru finished speaking, the partition was pulled open.
It was the senior singer.
You tried to leave Gojo Satoru but he held your head down and teased you softly, "Why are you hiding? We haven't done anything yet."
An Utahime put her hands on her hips, trying to suppress her anger: "Hatsu-chan isn't in her room. I guessed she was here."
"You guessed it right, singer." Mingming stood behind the singer An.
"Let's go, Zenin." Ieiri Shoko walked past the anthem singer and stood closest to you.
Gojo Satoru helped you sit up. "How rude of you, Uta-chan? You just casually walk into someone else's room without even knocking. Aren't you afraid of seeing something you shouldn't?"
Satoru said, pointing as Utahi-senpai rolled up his sleeves.
"Is there anything I shouldn't see?"
"Let go of him, we're going to the hot springs."
"I'll go with Yuki."
"Satoru!" You pinched the soft flesh on Gojo Satoru's waist, but he took your hand away.
“Don’t move,” he whispered to you.
【Kiss me and I'll let you go.】
【Now? 】
【Now. 】
In front of so many people?
Where to kiss?
What do you think?
【はつちゃんHave eaten two snacks. 】
What Wu meant was... there was no room for negotiation.
【Do you want to use magic to deceive Glass and the others? 】
[No. You must be a good child with principles.]
So you just close your eyes. You're not used to having your hips held, and it makes you very self-conscious.
"Here."
Matcha-flavored Japanese confectionery?
【はつちゃん’s is red bean flavor()*. 】
【Is matcha a bit bitter? 】
Now it’s time to savor the past! The aftertaste is sweet! ╰(*︶`*)╯
Fortunately, Gojo Satoru didn't have his hands on the back of your head.
You pushed him away, trying to stand, but your balance slipped and you nearly fell. Diva-senpai quickly caught you. You glanced at Diva-senpai. Her veins were throbbing, and she mentally cursed Wu for being an asshole.
[Don’t start a quarrel, don’t start a quarrel...Take はつちゃん and leave first. Take はつちゃん and leave first...]
"Diva, it was Yuki who took the initiative to kiss me."
[Provocation! Gojo is provoking!]
"It must be you who forced me to do that!"
Gojo Satoru waved his hand: "Hatsuchan doesn't want to, no one can force her."
You grabbed the Diva-senpai and said, "Satoru, change out of your technical high school uniform."
"I will do it. If the singer doesn't take her away, I will keep her with me——"
Uta-sama once again takes you and Naoko out of the room at lightning speed, and Mei-sama cooperates by closing the partition. You give her a strange look.
"If Gojo loses, I win."
Is there such a saying?
"Senior Ming and Wu don't get along either?"
"Most of the time we get along pretty well. Gojo is a straightforward person, after all. But sometimes... haven't Zenin and Gojo ever had arguments?"
"We did."
"Look, even a couple like you who love each other so much have arguments, let alone others and Gojo?"
"I thought Tsuna and Gojo wouldn't quarrel at all."
"Dahime-senpai, do you think I'll give in to Satoru?"
"That's right. If you couldn't tolerate Gojo's personality, you would have quarreled many times, right? Just like just now, in front of so many of us—"
"Sister Diva, can you please not bring this up?"
"You hate Nitro too? I won't say anything. All men are pigs!!!"
The four of you entered the locker room, and while taking off your clothes, you suddenly thought of something: "Glass, Jay and I have never had an argument." Even if we had a slight disagreement, we would never quarrel.
tolerate.
"Me neither." Glass said calmly.
"Has Zenin ever taken the initiative to pry into Geto's heart?"
You shook your head.
"Wu and Jie used to quarrel often." You still remember Jie's "righteousness".
"They don't know each other until they fight."
"What about me and Nitro?"
"We call this a forced melon that's not sweet!" Glass sprayed you with the showerhead.
Glass hasn't been this energetic in a long time.
"My hair is wet."
"My hair is wet too."
"Has Nitro's hair grown a little longer?"
"I haven't cut it recently." Naoko Ieiri reached out and touched the scar on your waist.
Glass's hands were icy cold, and she touched you lightly, making you feel a little itchy. You tried not to laugh: "Glass~"
Ieiri Naoko ignored your pleading and rubbed it a few more times: "I haven't asked Zenin when this scar appeared."
"Not in the past two years."
Zen-in would never lie. He thought Ieiri Shoko would think "liang" was an imaginary number, but Ieiri Shoko didn't think so. "Liang" was a real number. He should have said "how many," but he wouldn't even say "how many."
"This scar is quite long."
You said nonchalantly, "Scars are medals."
"If the Zen temple doesn't want to, who else can get close to the Zen temple?"
"Glass, I won't realize 'no limit'."
"You have other tricks for dealing with physical attacks."
Zenyuan didn't say anything.
So the answer is not "before learning those tricks".
Neither you nor Ieiri Naoko spoke.
You took the initiative and mustered up the courage to say, "I know I'm a bit troublesome to take care of... Nitro, are you fed up with it?"
Ieiri Naoko picked up a small towel and wiped your tears.
"I cried?"
"Um."
Glass has been so concise lately.
"If you get bored, just—"
"I'm not annoyed. I just hope Zenin can be nicer to me." You looked up at her.
"Gojo always lets you do whatever you want." She closed her eyes and didn't look at you.
"I didn't do anything stupid."
"Then why do you lie in bed again and again?" Ieiri Shoko opened her eyes.
"Nano is here." You said into Nitro's eyes.
Ieiri Naoko was amused by your self-righteousness. She threw the soap far away and pretended to pull your ear: "So you always do things without any scruples?"
"As long as you have confidence in yourself, you don't have to worry about me."
All Ieiri Naoko could say could be reduced to one sentence: "Little ungrateful bastard."
"How could I be such an ungrateful person, Nozomi? I remember all the kindness you've shown me. I won't forget it even without the use of a ritual."
How could I not worry about you?
"Satoru is worried too."
"Don't mention five to me."
"But Wu trusts Nozomi more."
"I told you not to mention the five points to me."
"Nano?" You looked at the self-destructive Ieori Naoko in confusion.
"Gojo takes up too much of your time."
"Glass is my best friend and someone I trust."
"Not the 'most' trusted person?"
"You only have one best friend."
"Friends..." Ieiri Shoko muttered to herself, and then asked you: "What is the difference between friends and lovers?"
"Glass, do you want to kiss me?"
You asked so bluntly that Ieiri Naoko blushed: "Zenyuan!"
"Nose doesn't have such thoughts. She just wants to be with me. We don't feel anything else when we look at each other's naked bodies."
"Just like this scar." You gently touched the scar, Wu likes to kiss here.
"Glass only cares about why it exists. But Satoru gives it other colors besides caring. I think this is the biggest difference between friendship and love."
“Isn’t it exclusive?”
"Friendship certainly has its own exclusivity. Otherwise, there wouldn't be 'best friends' and 'ordinary friends.'"
"Gojo is your lover, I'm your friend, and what about Geto?"
"Jay is my companion."
"That's a quick answer."
"Most importantly, you are all my family."
Ieiri Naoko scratched your nose: "Why didn't I know Zenin was such a smooth talker before."
"Then now Nitro understands me better."
"はつちゃん! Glass! Are you done washing? Let's go!"

"It's the inner soup."
"What are you disappointed about, Senior Gojo?" Suzuki Yu was scooping water.
“It’s more atmospheric in the open air, isn’t it?”
Everyone present knew Gojo Satoru's little thoughts... well, only half of them knew about it, as the younger generations were still very pure and innocent.
"I think Gojo-senpai is right!" Huihara Yu raised his hand and said, "Can I enter the hot spring now?"
"Senior Haibara, first..."
Suzuki Yu's words stopped abruptly.
Huiyuan Xiong directly put one leg into the pool and raised a thumb: "I think the water temperature is just right."
"Nanami-senpai?" Suzuki Yu looked in the direction of Nanami Kento.
"You're too slow."
Nanami Kento sighed comfortably. This was life.
I really want to escape from this hellish training.
No, I have to keep working hard after I return to college tomorrow.
Nanami-senpai showed no interest in continuing the conversation with Suzuki Yu. Suzuki Yu turned around and saw Gojo-senpai imitating the statue of David, with Getabi-senpai helplessly holding his forehead. So Suzuki Yu found Ijichi-san, who was squatting like a mushroom, and said, "Ijichi."
"This group of people is horrible."
Suzuki Yu deeply agrees.
"Ichichi, there are only two of us ordinary people here."
"No, I'm the only ordinary person here." Ijichi Jiegao drew circles in the shadows. He quickly ran out of the shadows. "I was just kidding. In comparison, Suzuki and I are indeed ordinary people, but ordinary people also have..."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Ijichi was interviewed by Zenin-senpai, right?"
"How did Suzuki know?"
Suzuki Yu's eyes were dead: "I'm going down."
"Satoru, why are you so close?"
"Jay, don't you want to hear what the girls are talking about?"
"This is eavesdropping!"
"You have such a strong sense of justice, Jie." Gojo Satoru made a face at Geto Suguru.
"Maybe they're eavesdropping on us too."
【はつちゃん～】
"What's wrong?" You were enjoying a nice soak in the hot spring when you suddenly heard Wu's voice, which startled you and made the towel fall off your head.
"Nothing, just a nightmare."
"Don't really fall asleep, はつちゃん, that would be too boring." The singer-sama took the towel from your hand, folded it again, and put it on your head.
"Thank you, Diva-senpai."
After Utahime-senpai continued chatting with Mei-senpai, Ieiri Naoko asked you, "Was it Satoru who was looking for you?"
You nodded.
"Ignore him."
"Glass, don't many people dislike Wu?"
"Did you like him very much at first?"
"Success is due to character, failure is also due to character~"
"What's your feeling? It's simply because Gojo is so special." Glass is now willing to open her heart and have a good chat with you.
Among the "special grade" schools designated by the Director's Council, Zen Monastery is the easiest to get along with. This is undeniable. Can't a disadvantage be turned into an advantage? Zen Monastery is very adept at using this. Without explicitly mentioning it, no one would consider it a "special grade" school. Because Zen Monastery is "soft," "principled," and "harmless," everyone enjoys being friendly with it.
"As for Gojo, he makes no secret of his strength. A huge gap would be intimidating. And that's his personality."
"Glass is very understanding." You twisted the strands of hair around your fingers and said casually, "Jay's interpersonal relationships seem to be pretty good."
"Gasuru is supposed to protect the weak. You should at least be a little more kind, right?"
"Satoru often tells me that protecting the weak is exhausting. But Jie never complains."
"If you don't agree with his ideas, he won't talk to you anymore. Zenyuan should be aware of this."
"It's good that Jay sticks to his own ideas. It's time to get out, Glass."
"I didn't hear anything!"
I thought the girls' side would be more cheerful, but it was just as silent as here.
Nor is silence.
Huiyuan is quite lively.
"Why are you staring at me, Geto-senpai? Is there something on my face?"
"Nothing. It's almost time to go out."
"Ooooh! Nanami! Get out of the bath!"
"What kind of words are you using!"
If Hanatsu-chan hadn't arrived in time, Haibara, who was weaker than Nanami, would have died. Nanami might have survived, but it was only a possibility. But even so—"Is Satoru sulking?"
"yes."
"Because Yukiko ignored you?"
"That's right." Gojo Satoru said as a matter of course.
"Jay, do you have anything to say?"
"Hero always puts himself last."
"No."
Geto Suguru:?
"I'm the last one." Gojo Satoru complained. "Hatsuchan always has to finish everything before coming to me. I do the same, but for me, Hatsuchan takes priority. If I have to choose, I will choose Hatsuchan."
"Satoru tells はつちゃん, she'll say you're talking too much too early."
"Is that a big deal? Jay, that's not a big deal. I won't let that happen. That's a big deal."
Geto Xia Yu laughed: "That is to say, Wu's assumption is based on the premise of 'necessity'."
I don't need to "have to" this situation.
"That's about right. But I won't let that happen. はつちゃん will be angry."
"Satoru himself and Yuki-"
"Jay, do you really want to know the answer?"
"I know Satoru's answer."
"Really? Then Jie really understands me." Gojo Satoru remained noncommittal. He extended his fist, and Geto touched it.
I would choose はつちゃん.
"Fireworks Festival Fireworks Festival~"
At the fireworks display, I was the only one there alone.
