Chapter 16: Day 16 of Cultivation
Chapter 16
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”
Kanako sat on the steps nearby, taking a bottle of mineral water she bought from the vending machine and rinsing her mouth with it.
A group of people had just entered the gate of the technical college and didn't even have time to go back to register their tasks and deal with the follow-up reports. They nervously surrounded Kanako and observed her situation.
"Gurgle gurgle...burp." Kanako burped after drinking enough water.
Gojo Satoru immediately grabbed her shoulders and shook her back and forth: "Who told you to swallow it? Spit it out, hurry up and spit it out!"
Geto Xiayou's brows were furrowed all the time, he was extremely anxious, and he kept touching his chin to think quickly. He wanted to search the key words of "Curse Spirit Control Technique" from his mind, and wrote in the search bar: What should I do if the Curse Spirit Ball is swallowed by another creature?
what to do! ! ? ?
He didn't know either! He had never encountered such a situation before in his life as a sorcerer!
Kanako's neck was shaken back and forth, and even when she was dizzy, she still shouted, "What a disgusting thing!"
Gojo Satoru: "If it tastes bad, just spit it out!!"
Kanako gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to bite: "I want to spit it out too, but a great man once said that there is no reason to spit out what you have eaten. Don't waste food!!"
Geto Suguru shouted, "Who said that?! Don't stick to the principles of morality at a time like this!"
Kanako: "Wo Zikishud!!"
Gojo Satoru cried out in pain and released his hand from Kanako's shoulder. The bite force of Yato was so terrifying.
But even in such a chaotic situation, he didn't miss a single word and accurately grasped the key points: "Jay! What did you just say?"
Geto: "...What?"
Geto Xiayou admitted that he was too anxious and was somewhat led astray. He was so anxious that he said things without thinking.
Gojo Satoru: "That's the one, the one before. Can you perform that one again?"
Geto Suguru pondered blankly for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "At a time like this... why don't we stick to the principles of morality...?"
Gojo Satoru gave a thumbs-up with delight: "Nice! Jie, you finally figured it out. Come on and join our 'Gojo Satoru Faction'!"
Geto: "What the hell is that? You must have made it up!"
"Um..." Nanami Kento silently interrupted the quarrel between the two.
Faced with two senior high school students and sorcerers whose attention has completely deviated from the right path, Nanami Kento has become extremely tolerant of their unreliability.
Then, he looked at Kanako, who was sitting on the steps, chin in her hand, watching the show, with the tired eyes of a worker, and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with her health?"
Gojo Satoru: “Ah.”
Geto Summer Oil: "Ah."
They both said in unison: "I almost forgot."
"Burp." Kanako continued to support her chin.

Not long after, Ieichi Nozomi, who had been receiving a series of life-threatening phone calls from Geto Suguru, slowly came out of the dormitory building.
Ieiri Naoko, cigarette in hand, asked, "What's wrong?"
Geto Suguru pointed at the culprit of the sudden incident and said, "Kanako swallowed...the cursed spirit ball."
At this time, the culprit who was pointed out, Kanako, smiled and said softly, "Sister Glass~"
Ieiri Naoko's heart froze for three seconds, but she didn't forget her job. "She seems fine. Aside from the surprising fact that she swallowed the Curse Spirit Ball, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Huiyuan Xiong exclaimed: "Can you even eat cursed spirits? That's amazing!"
Nanami Kento held his forehead with his hand: "...Is this the point?"
"Besides..." Ieiri Shoko's eyes shifted to the side. "Gojo is here too, and he didn't notice anything wrong with Kanako's body. What's there to worry about?"
Gojo Satoru remained silent, covering his eyes with his sunglasses again.
"No, no, no, Kanako is special..." Gojo Satoru shook his finger, "...just like me~!"
Geto Summer Oil: "Get to the point."
"She's the super interesting person I want to introduce to you... No, she's a girl." Gojo Satoru didn't forget anything he said. "From the perspective of the 'Six Eyes', Kanako is completely transparent!"
"That is to say, even if Kanako stood in front of us, it would be difficult for us to sense her presence unless she did something very special and eye-catching. Even I can't do it."
Nanami Kento neatly summarized Gojo Satoru's meaning: "A special technique? No, it's an innate talent. It's sacrificing cursed energy in exchange for a powerful body and a powerful heaven and cursed binding."
Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers: "Bingo!"
Haibara's eyes sparkled: "Wow, Nanami is indeed the one who got the answer right in one go!"
"No Bingo." Kanako jumped up and pressed Gojo Satoru's fingers back.
"I've told you many times, I'm not a human... Don't treat me as a human," Kanako said.
Her words were full of ambiguity. When Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu heard them for the first time, their brains raced, and they both looked sideways at Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Nanami Kento showed an indescribable complex expression, and Haibara Yu tilted his head to express his confusion.
"Still don't understand? ...Never mind, let's put it this way," Kanako said, "You two are companions who trust each other, right? Then add Mr. Yaga, and I'll explain everything to you."
*
The first-grade classroom, which was almost never full, was now filled with people.
Originally there were only two sets of tables and chairs (Nanaha and Haibara's), and Gojo Satoru asked everyone to move benches from the second and third grade classrooms next door, and he also thoughtfully left a...carpet for Yaga Masamichi who arrived later.
Yaga Masamichi was already used to it, so he pretended not to see it, crossed his arms, and waited for Gojo Satoru to explain the situation.
Kanako: "Are you sure no one else is eavesdropping?"
Huiyuan Xiong closed the doors and windows: "It's confirmed!"
"Very good." Teacher Kanako poked the blackboard with the teaching stick she had smuggled from the warehouse. "Now, Kanako's classroom is open! I'm the specially appointed science expert for this class, Kanako herself!"
"Pa pa pa." Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Nozomi clapped their hands, and Haibara Yu followed behind them and clapped his hands.
"First, let me explain the meaning of this sentence." Kanako wrote the four words "I am not a human" on the blackboard.
The handwriting she wrote this time was neater than any other time since she traveled through time. It was one of the results of Kanako's serious practice over the past few days.
Geto Suguru thought about it, walked up to the podium and changed "people" to "human beings", correcting the whole sentence to "I am not human beings".
Kanako suddenly realized: "As expected of you, Xiaojie!"
Ye Mo Zheng Dao was stunned for a moment, probably thinking of something, "It's not a human... Wu!"
Gojo Satoru: "Don't worry, it's definitely not 'incarnation' or anything like that. If I had to make an analogy, it's probably a combination of aliens and high technology."
Ye Moth said: “?”
The crowd was even more confused.
Kanako confessed bluntly: "My true self is a stone, so I am essentially..."
As she was speaking, her mind suddenly turned and she gasped: "So I am Sun Wukong!"
The theme song of "Wait Wait Wait" seemed to ring in my ears, and the system quickly interrupted this strange tune.
System: [Why did you tell them!?]
Kanako: [Tell them what happened? Do I have to act like the heroine in a melodrama, crying bitterly, overwhelmed with emotions, and feeling worse than death for 52 episodes, then at the end of the BE, spit out a mouthful of blood, say in the hero's arms, "Actually, I have a secret I've never dared to tell you..." and then die on the spot without even having time to arrange my final arrangements!?]
Kanako: [I don’t want that. I want to be the heroine of a shonen manga!]
System: [Hey, how come your speaking skills have improved so quickly? You can even use idioms now.]
Kanako: [Thank you for the compliment! I told you I was studying hard.]
The system was bypassed: [Yeah, I'm praising you... I'm praising you! Don't watch weird TV shows at 8 o'clock every night!]
"...I'm no longer afraid of watching TV dramas and movies made by humans." Kanako muttered to herself, pouting, "There's no need to be afraid of the past anymore."
The system suddenly fell silent: [……]
Kanako: [Besides, wasn't there a spoiler during the promotion period? Gojo Satoru and Gon are the strongest in the world of curse arts!]
[If neither of them is considered decent, then the entire Jujutsu High School is the villain's base? No matter how you think about it, the protagonists will definitely not be able to defeat them!] Kanako's analysis was very logical.
Kanako: [So, by process of elimination, this place must be decent! ]
System: [That’s indeed the truth…]
"Ahem, sorry, I just suddenly felt like I was similar to Son Goku." Kanako came back to her senses and brought the topic back, "My birth was the product of a certain race's desire to invent destructive weapons."
"So it's true that I'm not human. You can think of me as an alien that looks very much like a human. The official name is 'Night Rabbit'."
"I came to the mortal world this time for a special purpose," Kanako muttered, "and that is - to grow up well and become a reliable adult when I grow up!"
Nanami Kento was no longer sleepy: "!"
His eyes when he looked at Kanako suddenly became bright, filled with relief and admiration.
Kanako walked down from the podium: "So, I need someone to be my guardian, um, temporarily."
[Holy shit!] The system was shocked. [You actually got me back!]
Kanako: [Didn't you ask me to do the mission? I will definitely do what I promised you. Why are you surprised?]
The system burst into tears: [It's okay... Woohoo, it's really okay. I'm just so touched. Please continue!]
"I decided..." Realizing how important everyone present was to her, Kanako's attitude gradually changed.
She spoke uncertainly, drawing circles on the ground with her toes, "Will you grow up with me...?"
The system got excited: [I'm always ready. The next person you actively shake hands with will be your bound guardian!]
As soon as Kanako finished speaking, Gojo Satoru spoke first: "Kanako, it suddenly occurred to me that your identity has not been completely resolved in the eyes of those senior old oranges!"
"So this is not your request, it's our special request." Gojo Satoru waved his hand and showed it to everyone in the classroom in a sales-like manner.
"Pick a name for a family member in the world of curses. Maybe they'll even give you a surname," Gojo Satoru said. "I personally recommend Gojo Kanako. She sounds incredible!"
Jialiu Xiaozi had already hidden his cigarette butt and said, "Someone is not following the moral code of martial arts and is trying to launch a sneak attack—"
Haihara Yu: "Come to think of it, if Kanako lives in the technical high school, she's considered family, right? I originally thought she was some senior's sister."
Nanami Kento: "I don't care."
At that moment, Kanako suddenly had a vision of the strategy game she used to watch others play.
It was as if what was before her at this moment was the last option before that branch line:
A. Unreliable Six Eyes, but the strongest reserve
B. The protagonist of Hunter x Hunter, Gon, is the strongest reserve too
C. Caring and cheerful nanny Sister Glass
DEF...et al., omitted below.
Kanako came up with the answer almost without hesitation.
She chose G: All of them.
Kanako exhaled, her voice soft and innocent as she said, "You are all my wings, why can't I choose all of you?"
Everyone: ...
system:【……】
Damn! It knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly!!!
