Hellfire 02
The coffee shop Suzuki chose had glass walls, allowing bright sunlight to pour in. You pushed open the glass door and walked in. Music was playing, and there were few people inside, only a waitress wiping cups at the long counter.
Suzuki was still dressed in his black school uniform: a black jacket, black trousers, black shoes, and a black backpack. He looked like he had been waiting there since class was over.
"Am I late?" You smiled to liven up the atmosphere.
What should I eat? This place has all the dishes Xiaoyu had last time.
Thank you so much! I received my first payment!
[This is the result of your own efforts.]
[I'm saving up money to buy concert tickets. I'm sure I can get them... If not, then... Miss Ruoye, can you come with me?]
[I'll wait for you at the venue.]
[Uh-huh! ]
"Ms. Wakaba really likes sweets." Suzuki opened his mouth slightly.
You added sugar cube after sugar cube.
"There are two reasons for this. Suzuki-kun, would you like to hear them?"
Suzuki Yu immediately sat up straight.
"The first reason is that I'm not an outstanding fighter. I'm an academic. Do you understand?"
[I understand! Miss Wakaba is a brainworker, but Miss Wakaba is obviously super strong! ]
"The second reason is that Wu likes sweet things."
[Go-kun's sweet tooth is probably the main reason for this...]
"I see……"
Suzuki looks much more lively today.
When you first met Suzuki a few days ago, he had dark circles under his eyes and looked depressed. There's nothing wrong with being depressed; it can reduce losses, and many people use it as a self-defense measure.
Depression is Suzuki's way of maintaining his life.
But now, Suzuki's face is rosy and his eyes are alert. It is obvious that he is ready to embrace a new life.
He was very good at reading people's expressions: "Am I causing you any trouble?" Suzuki lowered his head and kept stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon.
"Not at all." Violating the rules once will lead to countless violations.
Just get used to it.
"Oh, I see." The spoon stopped turning, but the coffee continued to flow layer by layer.
"Suzuki-kun, do you think you have no talent and refuse to transfer?" He had clearly thought it through. This guy...
"Yeah." Suzuki Yu raised his head. Is Miss Wakaba wearing a high school uniform today? There's nothing on her ears.
"I'm so different from you and Wu-kun." Suzuki clasped his hands together in his lap. "I'm just an ordinary person. I know that very well. Without your help, I can't do anything."
"I just provided the tools. It's because of the ability to use tools that humans have reached our current level."
Want to discuss the Dao?
"Suzuki-kun, you won't be depressed about this, will you?"
"I can't do what Miss Ruoye does."
"Does Suzuki really believe he has no talent?"
Suzuki glanced at you and whispered, "I hope you can confirm me."
"Just use 'you', Suzuki."
"Does Suzuki think cursed spirits are scary?"
"I feel disgusted by them from the bottom of my heart." Then he closed his mouth.
"Please speak freely, Suzuki. Your opinion is of vital importance to me."
[Ms. Wakaba...]
"I've been thinking about it since I went back that day." Suzuki closed his eyes.
"Why are there such ugly, weak, and annoying things in this world?" He opened his eyes and cried out in despair, "Why did my longing for Grandpa turn into a cursed spirit!?"
If it's not your technique, your table shouldn't attract too much attention.
"Miss Wakaba and Mr. Wu can easily deal with more than 99% of cursed spirits, right? Exorcising cursed spirits is as easy for you as eating and drinking water."
"Eating and drinking are necessary activities to maintain life, but it can be annoying sometimes, right?"
"Very insightful, Suzuki," you complimented. Suzuki is already 17, a first-year student... Um, Jay is 17 this year too, right? So young. They're the same age, but Jay is the senior.
Correction after praise: "The reason Suzuki thinks the cursed spirits are weak is because he faced us. The three of us are currently the three strongest cursers in the country."
You are still students.
Aren’t you a student too?
"Compared to our power, all the cursed spirits Suzuki has encountered before can be considered weak. But I told Suzuki about the mortality rate of sorcerers."
"Then can my insignificant power really help?"
I feel like I've heard something similar somewhere before... I can't remember where...
"The world is made up of countless mortal wishes. We are all mortal, subject to birth, old age, sickness, and death, greed, anger, and delusion—no one can escape it. As long as there are people, the 'curse' will not disappear. But we are human, and we will ultimately overcome all we fear."
"Suzuki, wouldn't it be easier to understand if we think of cursed spirits as ferocious beasts like tigers and lions? People used to be afraid of tigers and lions, but now they can be kept in zoos for people to see."
"Cursed spirits are derivatives of humans. They will never be able to defeat humans. Cursed spirits will never cry for their companions. They will not seek help from their companions like Suzuki did."
"Why would Suzuki ask me for help?"
"I……"
"Because we belong to the same civilization. Suzuki wants to save his kind, and so do I."
It seems like a pyramid scheme scene.
"Even fragile and insignificant people can show strength. Even a small spark is precious." Something flashed by.
[I've realized that under the Tianyuan barrier, curse spirits cannot be eradicated. But most people don't want to... I hope that one day people will no longer be afraid of curse spirits.]
[Secrecy regulations are difficult to enforce. And the nationwide panic will likely generate a large number of cursed spirits, right?]
[What Wu said is correct. But I think... this process must be experienced.]
[I am the strongest.]
"What can I do?"
“Growth, constant growth.”
"I see."
It’s not easy to ask the old men to leave after they have been sitting for a long time.
Newcomer...
"Suzuki, we have a lot of time."
I can come to this store with Glass next time.
You're in a good mood, finally getting a subordinate. My younger sister... Ryoko, she handles things in an orderly manner, clearly a management talent. She has a strong personality, so being a supporting supervisor isn't suitable for her.
I can't start anew... There has been some progress in the research on reversal techniques. How about opening a hospital to apply the research results?
No money again. No wonder the sorcerer only gets a fixed salary and is financially tight.
Why is Suzuki silent?
"Are you having fun with the 'Spellcaster Training' program?" Why does Wu appear everywhere?
"Why do you care about him so much?"
"You and I are at the same level! Am I not more trustworthy than this guy who came out of nowhere?" Gojo Satoru didn't bother to look at Suzuki Yu, he just stared at you intently.
"Suzuki, leave first. I'll find someone to arrange your enrollment." If Wu doesn't resort to physical attacks, he'll resort to mental attacks. He's also very good at using sarcastic language. You also want to protect your new recruit, but that would make Wu even more difficult.
Suzuki Yu expressed his understanding.
【Go-kun is too clingy to Miss Wakaba.】
Gojo Satoru pulled up a random chair and sat down. He was tall enough to sit anywhere but the one he had custom-made. His long legs had nowhere to rest. One hand rested on his forehead, the other resting on his leg, moving back and forth.
"Those who don't know what's good for you should leave now."
He was sulking.
Suzuki is running very fast.
"How did Wu find you here?"
"I can find you no matter where you are."
Damn, he even changed his name. And he's not going to tell you how he found you.
【snort. 】
"Is Wu angry?"
"How can I not be angry when I see you chatting and laughing with another man as soon as I arrive!" He reached out to you, and after you put your hand on it, he pulled you in and hugged you.
To be honest, neither you nor he was sitting very comfortably.
"I was having a normal conversation. Satoru was overthinking it."
Gojo Satoru nuzzled your face: "Hatsuchan, answer me a question."
"Can answering enlightenment help me get rid of my anger?"
"No... If your answer makes me happy, then of course I won't be angry."
"So what's the problem?" You also touched his face.
Gojo Satoru cleared his throat cockily. Damn it, he took his sunglasses off the moment he saw her. Otherwise, he'd look much cooler without them now.
"Look at me first. Yes, that's it. Don't look at anything else."
What are you pretending to be? You find it funny.
Wu’s eyes don’t need to be an extension of the sky, they are your sky.
He was first struck by your unrestrained gaze, and his ears turned red. He looked at his nose and then his heart, and finally said resolutely:
"What do you want to say to Gojo Satoru? You can only choose from the following three options. A: I like Gojo Satoru; B: I like Gojo Satoru very much; C: I like Gojo Satoru very much."
"I choose D." You reply immediately.
Gojo Satoru's heart skipped a beat. "There's no D!" He hastily added, "Hatsu-chan, pay attention to the question! You can only choose from the three options I give you!"
"Satoru doesn't want to hear my answer?"
He was in a panic, then he showed an attitude that he would never be an ostrich. He held you up and stood up, biting your lips carelessly.
【I like you. 】
[I can say this countless times, can't you say it a few more times? ]
Gojo Satoru kissed you again. It wasn't really a kiss, it was more like nibbling on your mouth, because you wouldn't let him put his tongue inside.
You tried your best but couldn't push him away.
You had no choice but to allow him to pass. Then he began to absorb your breath like a fish that had just landed. He kissed you until you were out of breath and then let you go.
Fool Gojo Satoru.
No, the word "stupid" should not be associated with Gojo Satoru.
"I..." He was about to pounce again.
"Listen to me, Gojo."
Gojo Satoru's heart stopped beating in an instant.
Being hated?
"Option D is 'I love you'. Do you agree, Satoru?"
"I want to kiss you until the end of time." Gojo Satoru said this and wanted to do so.
“No, no.” You shied away from him. “Wu, don’t you want to hear the reason?”
"Reason? The reason is not important. だって, 愿のこと大好きなんだもん"
"It's very important!" You pushed his face away, why did you use a child's coquettish tone?
"The day Wu confessed his feelings, Wu said 'I love you', and it was Wu who asked me to say 'I love you'. I felt it was incomplete, so -"
Nothing more to say.
Gojo Satoru kissed until he was satisfied. Forehead, eyes, ears, cheeks, lips, neck, anywhere. Why had he been so particular about just one spot? You were the one who misled him!
snort!
"We will be together forever, right?"
"Of course."
