Chapter 55: Cultivation Day 55
Chapter 55
During those five seconds of silence, Gojo Satoru and Kanako stared at each other... through a layer of black blindfolds.
At the end, they stretched out their hands at the same time and said "Give me five!" like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and they hit it off immediately.
The system doubted its life and verified the world information, and found that this was indeed a parallel world without Kanako...
So how did these two people get to know each other and get along so well in seconds!
Although he had already understood most of it thanks to his six eyes and his intelligent brain, Gojo Satoru thought about it and decided to just say something politely: "You are..."
"Let me show you my student card." Kanako took out the student ID card issued by Tokyo Technical High School, and underneath it was a copy of the Gojo family's household registration page.
"Roar!" Gojo Satoru exclaimed with interest.
Gojo Satoru: "Then your identity is..."
"Shh, don't say anything. Everything is unspoken." Kanako said, imitating the Statue of Liberty's pose. "Look! The flow of cursed energy and the residual cursed energy in my body."
Kanako gradually became proficient in this process.
First, there is the student ID and household registration to prove the identity. Both items have the remnants of the cursed power of Gojo Satoru from the technical high school. The future adult Gojo Satoru can definitely infer a similar setting of the "parallel world" from this.
The second is the cursed energy flowing through her body. Before she goes out, she will fill the cursed spirit ball every day to adapt to the cursed energy, so there should be some remnants of the cursed spirit manipulation technique left.
Furthermore, when Kanako was sparring with other teachers and students at the technical high school, she would occasionally leave traces of cursed energy.
Finally, he even knew exactly which store Gojo Satoru would go to buy Kikufuku on which day of the week, and he could spot them precisely...
All of this evidence points to only one conclusion - even if they are not in the same world, Kanako is a member of the high school!
The sense of trust went from zero to full.
Kanako blinked. "Do you understand? I can't say more because I have some troublesome 'constraints'. You just need to remember that my name is Kanako."
"How long do you plan to stay here?" Gojo Satoru asked after nodding.
"It depends. If it's fast, I can leave in less than a day. If it's slow, it won't take more than a month." Kanako thought, "But I came here this time because I have a 'practical project' to accomplish."
She vaguely revealed the rules for returning: as long as they completed the "assignment", they could leave without having much impact on the world.
Kanako is very busy, coming and going in a hurry.
"That's no problem!" Gojo Satoru said confidently. "You came to me specifically because you need some help with your 'practical project'?"
"My 'practical project' this time might be related to love." Kanako said, and suddenly she started singing, "XX you don't understand love~ Suzuki Tower will fall down~"
System: "What does this have to do with Suzuki Tower? Why do you want to implicate Suzuki Tower when you don't understand what love is?"
Yuta Otsutsuki fell into deep thought: "The Suzuki Tower exploded before, and it seemed like it almost fell down completely that time..."
"Oh, by the way, let's solve this guy's problem." Kanako raised her chin and gestured with the back of her head.
Gojo Satoru looked at the person behind Kanako and touched his chin.
He naturally connected the two things together, and asked curiously, "So he's your potential boyfriend?"
Otsutsuki: “!?”
Kanako shook her head: "You are wrong, he is the boyfriend of Curse Spirit Rika. Come on, Otsutsuki, call Rika out."
"Um..." Yuta Otsutsukota looked around and said softly, "Isn't it inappropriate to call out Rika in public?"
"That makes sense. Let's not call her out yet," Gojo Satoru said. "Would you like to try Kikufuku? I personally recommend the edamame and cream flavor."
Otsutsuki: "...You're changing the subject so quickly!"
"I want it, I want it!" Kanako raised her hands high, "I want to buy the maximum amount that can be purchased by a single person in one go!"
The two of them chatted (exchanged information) while walking to the end of the line, and forcibly dragged Yuta Otsutsuki to queue up to buy Kikufuku.
"Are you Kanako recommending to me that Yuta should study sorcery at a technical high school after graduation?" Gojo Satoru called out his name in a familiar voice.
Kanako nodded. "To be precise, it's best to learn a little now, because his cursed energy just went out of control yesterday, and it seems that there is still a lot of cursed energy. If it goes out of control again, it might cause trouble."
Gojo Satoru thought for a moment. "Logically speaking, someone who grew up in a non-magician family and has talent for magic would have a hard time mastering cursed power from scratch because they have no concept of the world of magic..."
"Have you experienced any major stimulation recently?" asked Gojo Satoru.
Kanako pursed her lips and pretended to look around at the scenery.
Otsutsuki Yuuta: "Ah... I was going to commit suicide, but Kanako-senpai saved me."
Kanako: Stare—
Yuta Otsutsuki: "...Twice."
His answer that omitted all the key points was beyond Kanako's expectations. Kanako looked very disappointed and said, "No, no, no, why did you omit the bad guy image I played during my rigid education?"
Kanako coughed and said, "Anyway—I wanted him to experience the feeling of nearly committing suicide, so I let him fall freely in the air for just a few seconds."
"As I expected, he didn't really want to die. It was just that his desire for relief had reached its limit."
Yuta Otsutsuki smiled sheepishly.
"And then I scared him terribly." Kanako's eyes wandered and she lowered her head. "...Did I go too far?"
Although she is facing the future Gojo Satoru from a parallel world with whom she has never had any intersection, Kanako will still subconsciously regard her as a member of the "Kanako Parents Group".
After having a premonition that she had done something not very good, Kanako took the initiative to seek the opinions of the parents' group members.
Gojo Satoru followed the procession and took a step forward, then turned around and asked, "What does Yuta think?"
Yuta Otsutsuko chose his words carefully and said seriously, "I'm very grateful for what Kanako-senpai has done for me."
He lowered his eyes and said, "The process may sound unacceptable, but that is the best solution that Kanako-senpai has strived for."
"If it weren't for Kanako-senpai, I might never have realized the meaning of my life..." Otsutsukota raised his eyes and said, "So, thank you so much!"
Kanako couldn't stand his attitude: "Why...why are you always so grateful? Have a little confidence in yourself!"
Yuta Otsutsukota responded subconsciously: "I'm sorry..."
Kanako: "And you keep saying sorry all day long! Be careful or I'll ban the word sorry!"
Otsutsuki said obediently: "Sorry... I'm sorry."
Kanako: “Huh?”
Otsutsuki's mouth spoke faster than his brain: "I will never say sorry again!... Sorry!!" and then quickly covered his mouth.
Kanako was speechless and could only rage to herself: "Ah ...
He was so angry in the true physical sense that his hair was about to explode. Gojo Satoru raised his hand to press back the strands of hair that were flying towards the sky. He soon discovered the pleasure of touching the head and rubbed it.
"Since Yuta can tell from the moment he hears it that it's his own free will, then there's nothing wrong with what Kanako did," he said.
When it was finally their turn in the queue, Gojo Satoru clicked a few times on the display case before finally packing up three bags of Kikufuku.
Holding their own share of Kikufuku, the three of them, led by Gojo Satoru, headed to an uninhabited area that was more suitable for discussing topics.
"Delicious!!" On the way, Kanako quickly stuffed two bites of each into her mouth.
"Don't you want to eat, Otsuko?" Kanako asked.
Otsutsukota misunderstood her meaning and handed over the bag: "If Kanako-senpai wants more, you can take my share──"
But before he could finish his words, Kanako glared at him: "No! Eat it for me! And eat it all!"
Otsutsuki Yuta: ...? !
Did he make her angry... Damn it, this is not good.
"Pfft." Gojo Satoru interrupted, "Come to think of it, Kikufuku is indeed the first step in Yuta's curse power training."
"Huh?" He stood up straight immediately.
"Try to control your cursed energy. It's like the edamame and cream filling in Kikufuku, wrapped in the Daifuku skin—that is, your body."
What an abstract statement...it was actually compiled on the spot.
Yuta Otsutsuki closed his eyes and tried his best to imagine edamame paste... and other messy ingredients, wrapping them up.
Not long after, a sharp but brief stinging sensation throbbed at his temples. He paid little attention to it, as if his subconscious sensed something...
"Keep going like this, open your mouth and don't open your eyes." A clear voice sounded in his ears. Kanako quickly took out a new pack of Kikufuku and stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, and the intermittent tingling in his solar plexus disappeared. Yuta Otsutsukoshi frowned and simply grasped the feeling in his sea of consciousness in one go -
"It's over," Gojo Satoru announced.
Kanako: "Have you controlled your cursed power?"
Gojo Satoru nodded: "The previously out-of-control cursed energy has stopped raging. We can proceed to the second step."
"I have to mention... Yuta is not bad," Gojo Satoru said with a smile. "With such talent, coupled with that wonderful technique, he will definitely become a very good sorcerer in the future."
"Well, maybe you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Sensei is looking forward to it!"
Seeing that Gojo Satoru wasn't going to explain what had just happened, Kanako said, "Actually, from yesterday until just now, your cursed energy has been in a state of automatic generation. Because you haven't learned to control it, it's been constantly draining your strength and energy."
"Food, especially sweets, is a way to quickly restore both." Having said that, Kanako breathed a sigh of relief and laughed brightly. "That's great! Fortunately, you have a good talent."
But soon, she returned to her glaring state: "No, I'm still mad at you! Just pretend you didn't hear what I said."
Otsutsuki felt helpless: "Kanako-senpai..."
"Next, let's call Rika out." Gojo Satoru crossed his fingers and pulled down a layer of "tent".
He nodded solemnly and called out the name in his mind.
The huge body of the curse spirit rose from the ground, and it was already trying to reduce the damage caused to the external environment.
It did not reveal its full form and only appeared for three seconds before disappearing.
"It's at the special level." Gojo Satoru took only one look and declared, "A curse with a strong curse power will also increase in strength."
"Kanako, come here for a moment." Gojo Satoru waved his hand. "I have a question for you."
He whispered, "Are you sure that the curse named Rika is attached to him, and the curse power comes from Yuta himself, and it is not Rika who cursed Yuta after her death?"
Kanako, holding the standard answer, was extremely certain: "That's right!"
Gojo Satoru tapped his left hand against his right. "Then the conclusion is obvious: regardless of whether Rika Kimoto herself possesses a talent for spells, the root cause of this curse comes from Otsutsu Yuuta."
"It was he who cursed Rika Kimoto."
Gojo Satoru's words floated to the ears of Otsutsuki Yuta, who clenched his fists and remained silent.
"I want to... lift Rika's curse." Yuta Otsutsukota's voice was weak, as if he was talking to himself.
"In my opinion, love is the most twisted curse." Gojo Satoru said, "Kanako, your previous approach was correct. I'm afraid that's why you happened to appear next to Yuta."
"If you want to get the answer to the [Practical Problem], you must start with him." Gojo Satoru said as he released the "account".
"Well, in short, Yuta, study hard first, and come to technical high school after graduating from junior high school!" Gojo Satoru waved his hand and turned to leave. "I'm very busy and have a lot of troubles to deal with~"
Kanako turned her head and asked, "Are you going to suppress Otsutsuko's information in advance to prevent the General Directorate from influencing him?"
Gojo Satoru: “That’s right~”
Kanako: "What about curse power training?"
Gojo Satoru grinned without even turning his head: "Kanako can also teach this level of training, right?"
Kanako: "...Unreliable teacher!!!"
Yuta Otsutsu's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, and then he leaned down slightly: "Thank you for your help..."
"It's not a problem. I just told him about your existence in advance." Kanako said, "Even if I weren't there, a sorcerer would find you sooner or later."
"Okay, the conservative education you wanted is over. Now it's time for my teaching, Kanako!" Kanako rubbed her hands expectantly and spread out a map she had picked up from the subway station.
"Where is the next date place that Rika wants to go to?"
The map shattered completely, as if Rika was venting her dissatisfaction with her previous appearance in front of Gojo Satoru.
"I want to go with Yuta... somewhere that can bring back memories," Rika said. "Like a mountain... somewhere like that... for a date."
"I understand." Kanako said blindly, "At your age, it must be a campus romance!"
"Yuta-chan, it's time to go to your school."
“…”
"Don't you like this nickname? Then I'll just call you Otsutsuki."
Yuta Otsutsuki kept pace but remained silent.
The same sentence kept repeating in his mind: I don’t want to go to school… I don’t want to go to school.
There are people I don't want to see.
For example.
"Hey, isn't this Otsutsuki-san? Long time no see!" As soon as I stepped into the school gate, a male voice sounded from the side.
"I thought you dropped out of school, but you ended up sneaking in after school?" the man sneered. "You're not even wearing a uniform, and your contact number is unavailable. Did you join some gang?"
After saying that, several students around the boy burst into laughter.
"Otsutsuki, I think I heard something. Did you hear it?"
The male students stopped laughing and looked at the shorter Kanako with unfriendly expressions.
"Aha, I see!" Kanako grinned while chewing the candy, "So it was the corpse that was talking."

The last sentence is still about mqm. I feel that Kanako is the type who likes mqm very much x
