Desolate Echo 09
The paper lanterns on the promenade swayed gently in the wind.
Satoru's yukata is baggy, the belt sloppily tied. You know he's waiting for you to tidy it up. You decide to ignore him for now.
Jay tied his hair up and combed out his bangs as usual.
"I've never seen Jay look like this."
"Hatsuchan looks good with her hair tied up or in a bun." Geto Suguru paused for a moment and continued with a smile, "She looks good with her hair down, too."
"Of course!" Gojo Satoru elbowed Geto Suguru, who dodged it deftly. Then Gojo Satoru turned around and pressed his whole body on you.
"Go away, Satoru. It's too hot."
"No~"
We can only let him do as he pleases.
"This is the first time I've seen Jay not wearing his high school uniform."
Yuki wears many different styles of clothes.
Many, many things...are not for him to see.
"It seems like that..." Gojo Satoru pinched his eyebrows as if recalling something.
"It's the same for Wu, right?" asked Geto Suguru.
Gojo Satoru let go of you and stood beside you with his hands on the back of his head: "I'm just too lazy to think about it so much."
"Satoru even wears his original uniform." It's clear that Satoru doesn't care about these things at all. You look around. Haibara and Nanami are standing together, Suzuki and Ijichi are standing together. Utahime-senpai, Mei-senpai, and Naoko are standing together, chatting.
You silently adjusted Gojo Satoru's clothes.
【Do you know how to sew clothes? 】
【I have learned it.】
Wu's emotions became turbulent. Don't you know what he wants you to do?
【You can do it for Wu.】
There's still a long time until the New Year, so I should spare a little time to ask, "How many people in the Gojo family know about our relationship?"
"Probably... everyone?" Gojo Satoru said uncertainly.
"They've been urging me to get married. If that happens, I'll be a member of the Gojo family, and I'll be included in the Gojo family tree. The ceremony will also be—"
You want to kick him.
"Is Kazuo angry?"
"By the time their smooth, sterile brains figure out anything sublime and noble, rats will have ruled the earth for centuries."
"Why rats?"
"Rat has given so much to us."
"Those poor little white rats of Glass?"
"Hmm." You confirmed Gojo Satoru's answer. "I've been thinking about something lately. Jay, come and listen, maybe he can offer some constructive suggestions."
"I thought you two had forgotten me." Xia Yujie chuckled.
"No."
"Please listen carefully, Wu, and don't keep staring at my face."
"I've been looking at you just to listen carefully."
You took a deep breath. "I've been thinking about something lately. The source of all magical energy in nature is humans. We all know that magical energy is drawn from negative emotions."
"He is thinking about why again." Xia Youjie said with emotion.
"Mice squeak happily when they're with their companions, they can accurately tell time, and some can even recognize their own reflection in a mirror... My spells act on the brains of living organisms, and I can sense all of these things."
"Do you think mice look a bit like humans, Yuki?"
"That's not the case, Wu. It's not that mice are like humans. Many animals behave in similar ways. Ultimately, humans are animals too. But humans think of themselves as higher animals."
"Humans are higher animals, humans are special. Hantsukchan, are you wondering why only humans can generate cursed power?" said Geto Suguru with a smile.
"Just speaking of emotions, animals also have emotions, both positive and negative..."
Gojo Satoru pressed his solar plexus with one finger: "Hatsu-chan, do you know the relationship between the technique and the brain?"
You shook your head.
"That's the only thing that's been vague from beginning to end."
"The only answer I can think of is that the human brain is the most developed."
"Is that enough?"
"That doesn't explain it at all, Jay."
The seniors were discussing a complex topic again—Haihara Yu ran up to you and said, "How was the conversation going between Zenin-senpai, Getu-senpai, and Gojo-senpai? Can we set off now?"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." You said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Haibara Yu bent down and touched the back of his head. Nanami Kento dragged him away: "Don't interrupt the seniors."
"Are you done talking?" Ieiri Naoko walked over and took your hand directly: "Let's go."
"Glass!"
"Gojo is not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, stand back. I agree that Gojo and Geto will be Zenin and my bodyguards."
"Noseko is so awesome!" Angehime waved her hand to cheer Ieiri Nozomi up.
"Why is the singing girl joining in the fun?"
"A little bit~"
"はつちゃん～"
"Are Uta-senpai and Mei-senpai together?"
"Of course!" An Utahime said loudly, "Who wants to see that bastard Gojo all the time?"
"Then the four of us will go together. The younger students will also be in groups of two."
"Hatsu-chan, Satoru doesn't seem very satisfied." Summer Oil Geto pointed at Gojo Satoru who was pursing his lips and not saying anything with an expressionless face. Satoru really couldn't give Hatsu-chan a little personal space?
"It's just like the old days. We used to travel together as a group of four—"
"The past is the past." Gojo Satoru said with a pout.
"Can't you stand behind me and give me a sense of security?"
"I feel safer standing next to you."
You sighed. Ieiri Naoko chided, "Zenin's been coaxing Gojo all the time."
“Wu would also comfort me.” You covered your mouth and laughed, “The four of us walked in a row on the street, and no one else could get through.”
"It doesn't matter. We were a large group anyway."
A large group of people quickly dispersed and stopped in different corners of the night market.
Scooping goldfish is a classic activity in fireworks displays.
This simple little game wasn't a problem for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. They even compared their goldfish hauls—it's been ages since they last did. You watched the boss's face grow darker, the glass tank he provided fill up, and then locked eyes with a bulging-eyed goldfish.
The fish tank is full.
At your suggestion, the fish happily returned to the pond.
After a fierce battle, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru lost interest. You and Ieiri Shoko walked ahead, while the other two followed behind carelessly.
Several couples who were having a tryst came towards us.
Gojo Satoru was furious. He had never done anything like arm in arm with you. When they were out on dates, they'd only held hands. Now, he couldn't even hold hands.
Those people are still talking sweet words.
Biting the handkerchief and crying to act pitiful can——"Does Wu think that he and Hazuchan are really in love?"
"Could it be fake?" Gojo Satoru wanted to roll his eyes. He couldn't understand what Geto Suguru said and denied it quickly.
Geto Xiayou smiled but said nothing.
The two of them wandered around in silence, and Gojo Satoru suddenly looked up and said, "I'm acting too attached to はつちゃん."
"So Satoru knew."
"But..." Gojo Satoru looked at the starry sky and said calmly: "The person standing with her now is not me."
Geto Suguru was stunned, then patted Gojo Satoru on the shoulder and said in a joking tone: "Satoru's 'sacrifice' is huge."
"Yes." Gojo Satoru accepted the joke and raised his index finger, saying with certainty, "Hatsu-chan and I are absolutely in love." His index finger swayed back and forth, and Gojo Satoru's head also shook back and forth. He continued with certainty, "This is a fact that has been tested by the entire world."
Geto Suguru didn't know where Gojo Satoru's confidence came from.
Wu is always so confident.
"Does pure love still need to be tested?"
Now it was Gojo Satoru's turn to be stunned. He was a little stuck for a moment. How should he answer Jie's question?
"Love is a sincere, pure, and uncontrollable emotion." Gojo Satoru kept recalling everything that happened between you and him. He finally concluded: "Love doesn't need to be tested. It's just... you need to prove your love to the other person. If the other person doesn't know, then there's no need to love."
"I personally believe that love is a matter between two people. Unspoken love is just a desire hidden deep in the heart."
"That's a harsh thing to say, Satoru."
"Jie and I were love rivals before!"
"Then I lose miserably."
Gojo Satoru hugged Geto Suguru and said in a sly tone, "It's human nature to lose to me." Then he changed the subject and said, "Actually, there's no winning or losing." He continued to talk to himself, "Love is a matter between two people."
"Yeah." It was a joyous two-way rush. Geto took Gojo Satoru's arm and said, "We lost track of Hazuchan and Nozomi."
"What!?"
"There are too many people. The clothes they wear are not conspicuous."
Gojo Satoru touched his nose and said, "I'll find it."
Geto Suguru tilted his head. Gojo Satoru took the initiative to explain, "Hatsu-chan is a big star. He's always using spells when he's out. Wherever he passes, very faint remnants of cursed energy are left behind, strung together like a string." He pushed up his sunglasses and said coolly, "Go Go Go!" Gojo Satoru had already rushed out, followed by Geto Suguru.
"Jay is looking for the remnants of Yuki's curse?"
Geto Suguru responded, his gaze still wandering, and finally looking in the same direction as Gojo Satoru.
"Once you find it, it won't be hard to find it next time."
"Was it easy for Satoru to find it?"
Gojo Satoru placed his index finger under his eyes and said with a smile, "Of course."
