Hellfire 03
"Leave it with Yu and Xia You."
"Teacher Ye Moth, is there a mission?"
"Yes. Let me briefly describe the situation. The location is Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture..."
"Gojo Satoru is here, one is worth two. Sensei, are you looking down on me?" Satoru stretched out a big hand, squeezed in between you and Jie, and then hugged one of them with one arm.
"Satoru--" Gojo Satoru pretended not to hear Geto Suguru's call.
"Since Wu is worth two people, let Wu go on the mission alone!" Teacher Yega raised his fist as big as a casserole.
“No, no—” Wu’s cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
[Satoru, didn’t you agree to accompany me—]
Iwate is too far away.
"Sen-sei, what's wrong with taking me on a sightseeing tour? I'm sick of seeing all those cursed spirits in Tokyo."
"I'll bring a souvenir for Satoru."
【I don’t want to be apart for so long.】
"Satoru, don't worry, I'm here..."
"Jay, I'm not worried about Hatsu-chan." Gojo Satoru explained seriously. "Jay, let's switch, Iwate is too far..."
"Satoru, you can go back and forth in a day by taking the Shinkansen."
"はつちゃんLook at what time it is."
“It’s 3:30 in the afternoon…” Is Wu worried that you won’t be able to make it back tonight?
【We'll see you tomorrow.】
Wu was not satisfied with this answer, so—"Wu, I'll try my best..."
Gojo Satoru let go of you and Jie, took your hand and put it on his face: "Hatsuchan is weak, you'd better not stay up late. Yaga-sensei, this time let me and-"
【Isn't Satoru a bit too clingy? 】
Ye Mo Zhengdao interrupted Gojo Satoru: "Didn't Gojo hear that?" He glared at him with a sharp look: "This mission requires covert operation."
The four big words "hide, secret, act, move" hit Gojo Satoru on the head, and Gojo Satoru blinked blankly.
"I can too--" Covert action... Facing Mr. Yaga's distrustful gaze, Gojo Satoru straightened his chest.
"No room for negotiation, Satoru. A second-level sorcerer and a first-level sorcerer have already perished in the mission assigned to them. According to the assistant supervisor, there wasn't any sound of fighting. The higher-ups suspect a cursed spirit with special abilities. To avoid further complications, we've assigned Hatsu, who can exorcise cursed spirits directly from a distance, to handle the situation."
"I didn't say this just now..."
"The information hasn't been sent to Hazu and Jie yet."
Gojo Satoru lowered his eyes: "Then let はつちゃん handle it alone. Jie and I will go."
What does Satoru mean? Are you worried about me and Ha-chan spending the night alone?! How is that possible?! How could that be possible?!
You pondered, "Teacher Yaga, you've always assigned a single sorcerer, right? Satoru is worried that teaming up with two people might cause unexpected complications?"
"Hmm." Gojo Satoru put down your hand, ruffled his fluffy hair, and looked at you reluctantly: "The 'window' of the abstract curse spirit can't provide any useful information at all. Those two deceased sorcerers didn't give any useful information either, right?"
"Yes." Teacher Ye Moth nodded. "The curse spirit is in the residential building. No one has seen it except 'Window', who reported the incident. According to 'Window', the curse spirit is only level two, so the first person to be sent is a level two sorcerer."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yamo, Hawkeye—"
"That's right. Even if the assistant supervisor can see what's going on inside the tent, the building itself will still block human vision. Especially inside a residential building."
"A cursed spirit that even a first-level sorcerer can't exorcise...what are the casualties among ordinary people?"
Yega Masamichi was silent for a moment before answering Geto Suguru's question: "At the moment, it's zero."
【Why? 】
Jay's "why" is also what confuses you.
Ye Moth Zhengdao can see the confusion on your faces.
"After the incident was reported, the government evacuated the residents, citing a structural safety inspection. However, the situation remained unresolved, and the displaced residents became increasingly frustrated. Ultimately, the safety inspection was revoked, the residents returned to the building, and we were reprimanded by senior government officials for making a fuss."
"How strange." Could it be that a curse spirit was born to target sorcerers? That couldn't be right. There was absolutely no reason for its creation. Few people knew about the existence of sorcerers, and even fewer held negative feelings towards them.
"The higher-ups also want to know the reason, so they assigned はつ to carry out this mission."
"Wait a minute," Gojo Satoru said, as if something suddenly occurred to him. "We need to be able to exorcise the cursed spirit from a distance, and we also need to find out the cause... and we also need to act secretly..."
"So initially, I assigned this task to Hazu and Jie. Since the residents had returned to the building, we couldn't fight the cursed spirits directly inside. A 'tent' wasn't necessary. Hazu's skills made it difficult for him to remain undetected inside the building, so Jie was assigned the task of exploring the building. Jie and Hazu kept in touch, and if anything was amiss, Jie would notify Hazu to exorcise the cursed spirits. Hazu, isn't the range of 'Ai Rong Dan' now quite large?"
"Sense, I can do this kind of thing by myself——"
"Better safe than sorry. I don't want to lose any of you. Just follow my instructions, Jay."
"Yes." Geto Suguru lowered his head.
"Hatsu, answer my question."
"No problem, Mr. Yaga. But in Tokyo, the speed at which I exorcise cursed spirits cannot keep up with the speed at which cursed spirits are created." You sighed.
"Hatsu-chan, there's no need to worry about low-level cursed spirits like Fly Head, right?"
"Even a small amount of money can cause trouble, Jay."
"He's going to tire himself out and make me a widow~"
"Satoru, stop joking."
However, there are indeed an unusual number of cursed spirits this summer.
No, you close your eyes and keep smiling. Summer is gone in the last few days.
It is autumn now.
Tomorrow is the Welcoming Basin Day.
During the Ullambana Festival, sorcerers have a rare free time of the year.
Take more holidays... I love you. Without the hard work of weekdays, there will be no joy on holidays.
National tour...
You're actually looking forward to it.
It takes more than two hours to travel from Tokyo to Iwate by Shinkansen.
It takes some time to get to the mission location.
You and Jay talked as you walked.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Um... didn't I tell Jay? Starting next Friday, I'll be on a nationwide tour that will last for two weeks."
"Satoru won't be able to handle this."
"Satoru said he'd come and see. Jay can come too."
"Where is the show performed by Hikari?"
"I'm not feeling well, so there are only three shows. If Jay is free, you can watch the one at Tokyo Dome."
"With Kako's absence, Satoru and I will have more tasks to do..."
“The number of missions won’t necessarily increase, but the possibility of being assigned to areas outside Tokyo will increase.”
"Why do you say that?"
"I will try to expand the Aieirandan to the entire Tokyo area during my performance."
"You'll be exhausted—"
【はつちゃんDo you really have to exhaust yourself to death to be satisfied? ? 】
"No. I will use the technique to absorb the negative emotions of others and then transform them into cursed energy to support me in continuously releasing "Ai Rong Dan"."
【Has he been able to do this? 】
"Yes, otherwise how could I become a "special grade"? "Becoming a special grade is actually easier than being promoted to the first grade.
"But meeting this condition is quite difficult. I need to achieve emotional 'resonance' before I can use the technique to absorb the negative emotions of others. And because it's someone else's, the amount of magic power converted will be very small. This can only be done in a dome that can accommodate tens of thousands of people."
"Does Satoru know?"
"Know."
"Can you make sure you won't have an accident?"
"Of course. The Tokyo Dome show is the first one, and I won't mess it up."
You and Jay stopped walking, your destination almost here.
"Most sorcerers have always been based in the Tokyo metropolitan area. But cursed spirits exist elsewhere, and there are also humans deeply troubled by them. Suzuki's hometown is Hokkaido, and he said that the cursed spirits near his home often torment humans. From the time he began seeing cursed spirits at the age of six until he left Hokkaido at the age of sixteen, those cursed spirits still existed on that snowy field. Nothing had changed."
"You want to save everyone?"
"Jay." You smiled at him. "That's what I want to do, but unfortunately I can't do it. The cursed spirits will not disappear, and there will always be humans killed by them."
Suzuki is lucky. The people in his hometown are simple and honest, and the cursed spirits are mostly "imaginary", more like the "monsters" in Japanese legends, who enjoy teasing people.
Some "imaginary vengeful spirits" must meet specific conditions to kill people.
Could the cursed spirit in this residential building be an "imaginary vengeful spirit" that only kills "spellcasters"?
Why isn't Jay talking?
Don't you want to be separated from me?
He's obviously very clingy, and he and Mr. Yega also complain about Satoru in their minds.
"Hatsuchan's last name is Wakaba, which refers to the soft new leaves that grow after a tree sprouts." Jay seemed to want to touch your head, and you leaned your head over.
"Can I touch it?" Jay seemed shocked.
"Why not?"
【Satoru will kill me.】
You tried hard to suppress your laughter and patted his shoulder: "Wu isn't that petty. Besides, this is my decision, Wu has no say in it. Or is it that—Jie is afraid of Wu?"
How is this possible!!!
You actually laughed now.
You raised Geto's hand and pressed it against your head. "So, what did you want to say to me, Jay?"
"Wild grass, wild grass withers and grows back again every year... They just keep repeating their miserable lives. And Ruoye..." Jie seemed unable to speak.
"What's wrong with Ruoye?" you asked him.
"Ruoye... The tree that carries Ruoye will continue to grow. Ruoye can touch the sky."
Geto Xiayou touched your head and then took his hand away. He actually wanted to hug you and say these words.
Is this a love story? Kazuya definitely doesn't see it that way.
"If the 'weeds' here refer to cursed spirits, I agree with Jay. If it's just weeds or 'weeds' in some other literary sense, I prefer the image of 'tenacity' that weeds represent."
はつちゃん is はつちゃん.
"But—" You hugged Geto Suguru. You felt like crying.
"はつ——"
"Don't look down at me, Jay."
"What's wrong?"
"My mom said something similar to me."
Is Yuko...crying?
I don't want to cry in front of me.
That's not something that should be taken for granted.
My arms are not her harbor.
"Jie, do you know? My mom is actually a bit love-sick. She's with Dad just because of his face and his last name. As expected, Dad is a scumbag..."
"Didn't Wu say that uncle is..."
"Yeah, he died trying to save someone, and he even took my mom with him. His only conscience was sending me away." No, he has no conscience. You wiped your tears and left Geto: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, Geto."
It's like we're back to the beginning.
"Hatsu-chan, you don't have to apologize to me." Geto Suguru looked up at the sky. The moonlight was so beautiful tonight.
Wu said that his aunt stayed voluntarily.
Yuki doesn't want to admit that his parents have abandoned him.
What about me? Am I left behind?
No, I was sent away, thrown away.
[Xiaojie's talent is not in our world.]
I have no home.
