Chapter 65: Day 65 of Cultivation
Chapter 65
The day after the Kanako Club was successfully established, it changed its name at the request of the school teachers, saying that this kind of star-chasing custom should not be encouraged in school.
Jiang Yousheng was heartbroken and changed the name of the club overnight to "Take Kanako as an example and strive to be an excellent model student with three good qualities. PS: I promise not to learn from Kanako and skip English class."
So the club was finally established. The full name of the club was so long that it took up three consecutive lines on the application form.
When promoting the club in the new semester, because of the extremely long name, the poster was stretched from the third floor to the first floor, attracting the attention of many students.
As a result, the club became famous overnight. Because the full name was too long, all teachers and students in the school tacitly referred to it as the "Kanako Club".
The system suddenly threw salt: "Nothing has changed! It's still the Kanako fan club!!!"
Kanako pondered, "There are so many intersections. Is this the kind of formalism that's common in society...?"
The system picked up the salt from the ground and sighed, "Fortunately, this is just a small club in the school."
"There's really nothing I can do... My personal charm is just too strong." Kanako nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly, on a whim, she imitated a scene from a TV drama and slapped the wall next to Yoshida Ayumi with her backhand.
Trying to perform a wall-dong.
"Ayumi-chan, please don't fall in love with me!" Kanako learned this new word from someone unknown.
Yoshida Ayumi burst out laughing: "Hahahahaha!!"
The system held salt in its arms: "Why do such greasy lines come out of your mouth? They are nothing but endless loopholes and embarrassment."
After two seconds, it stared blankly into its arms and suddenly threw the salt again: "Where did this bag of salt come from!!!"
"Kanako-san!" Yoshida Ayumi's expression changed, and she quickly retreated to the corner. "Did you notice? The salt bag just now suddenly moved on its own!"
The culprit, the system: "..."
Sorry, it won't mess around with things outside anymore!
Kanako glanced at the system that was floating to the ceiling and drawing circles, then tried to smooth things over: "Maybe he kicked it accidentally... Oh, or maybe it was the wind. After all, a typhoon is coming, and the windows are open. The wind blowing in could blow the pencil case away."
As she said this, she walked to the other end of the classroom to close the window. Turning back, she saw Yoshida Ayumi and two other boys holding handfuls of salt in their hands and observing their surroundings all the time.
Kanako was confused: "What is going on...?"
"They've recently become obsessed with strange events on campus again." Edogawa Conan slowly walked to the middle, and said in a slightly helpless tone, "I always feel that there are some monsters hiding in the school."
"But... using salt won't drive away the demons and monsters, right?" Kanako pondered.
Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms: "They actually believe this statement."
Kanako tapped her left hand against her right: "Ah, I see. It should be like sprinkling cumin on the ghost, then roasting and eating the ghost in one breath!"
Conan: ...Yours is even more outrageous!
So he chose to complain: "There are indeed some legends about ghosts preying on each other, but no matter what, no one can eat ghosts, right?"
Kanako stared dimly at his glaring glasses.
Conan sneezed violently.
Kanako smiled meaningfully: "Anyway, I believe there must be one."
System: Because the guy who eats ghosts (cursed spirits) every day is right in front of you, Conan-kun! !
"Conan!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya called out, "Tonight happens to be a perfect night for a strange story. Do you want to come along?"
Conan: "Stay until night?"
"It's time to let 'them' know how powerful our Junior Detective Team is." Kojima Genta said, "The Junior Detective Team can not only solve the world's difficult cases, but also solve cases involving demons and monsters!"
The three of them raised their detective badges, and Edogawa Conan thought that this rumor without any basis would definitely turn out to be a farce...
Conan: "Don't..."
Kanako's voice appeared at the same time: "Sounds interesting, can you take me with you?"
ah?
Edogawa Conan looked in Kanako's direction and judged from her facial expression that she was not joking.
In my impression, Kanako has always been a person who likes to play pranks. Anything that can make her keep a funny smile is definitely not a big deal.
Once she gets serious, she always achieves some incredible results.
Either it's an explosion in the home economics classroom... or it's a rising star in Japanese sports... Although these are two extremes of "incredible", there have never been exceptions.
Haibara Ai was the first to ask why, and Kanako explained, "I've found the Junior Detectives very interesting since I transferred here. If I didn't want to go home and have a barbecue and play video games, I would definitely ask you to sign up."
"I was planning to stay here tonight." She glanced at the scenery outside the window, "and find out the truth about the strange incident on campus."
Kanako was eager to try: "I heard from other students that you solved a 'strange incident on campus' a few years ago! What was the truth of that incident? What is it?"
Speaking of "strange campus incidents", Conan Edogawa recalled that strange misunderstanding.
Sumiko Kobayashi, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B, was once too gentle before transferring to Teitan Elementary School, which led to a fight with a student at a parent-teacher meeting. So she later deliberately pretended to be fierce.
In order to prepare for the parent-teacher conference, she practiced after school, moving the human models from the health room and the sculptures from the art room to the table to act as parents, and marked the students' last names on each stuffed doll as students.
The result is predictable, it was regarded as a supernatural event... Of course, in the end, the Junior Detective Team discovered the truth, and also discovered the bald principal, who sometimes deliberately played tricks in order to scare away the students who stayed in school.
The above is a secret they share with their two teachers, and it is not convenient to tell more people.
In short, Conan believed that behind this seemingly supernatural incident, there must be a very scientific answer. If he stayed in school to find out the truth like last time, it would not be impossible...
"I'm not joining. I'm going back first." Huiyuan Ai carried her schoolbag. "If you need anything, please use the communicator. I think this operation will definitely require a logistical support person."
She easily understood Conan's expression, which showed that he had already made plans, and waved: "Bye."
"See you tomorrow, Ai!" said Ayumi Yoshida.
Kanako also said goodbye to Huibara Ai and turned around: "My family is also a professional exorcist."
Ayumi/Mitsuhiko/Mota:?
"If your family is worried, I can ask an adult to come and help." Kanako quickly opened her phone and began typing. "It even supports video calls. I will definitely make sure you're safe."
Her screen was still stuck on a document titled "Survey on Cursed Power Concentration in Beika Town" when a message suddenly popped up.
[Xiaojie: Kanako, can I borrow your glasses for a moment?]
Glasses?
Kanako has no vision problems, and her only pair of glasses dates back to the pair she wore when she couldn't see curse spirits.
Since no one had used it for a long time, there was no rush to recycle it. Since Geto Suguru said so, Kanako didn't think much about it and replied: "No problem."
【Xiaojie: Okay, thank you very much.】
[Kanako: By the way, Gon, is there anyone in charge of the Beika Town area recently? I can take them with me to investigate the source.]
There was no reply from the other party and the message remained unread.
The system sensed the location and said, "Master Geto Suguru is on a business trip to a place quite far away. He may not be able to come for a while."
Kanako nodded to show that she understood, and then switched back to the large group at the technical high school.
More than a year ago, Kanako wanted to go on a mission and asked if anyone could take her with them.
Now, more than a year later, before Kanako goes on a mission, she will ask if there are any sorcerers below level two who need her guidance.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the time being, she seldom takes action, but only acts as a protector and senior for those lower-level sorcerers to practice.
Sorcerers who can maintain regular contact with the High School will basically be classified as High School members by the General Directorate first, so there is no need to worry too much about the possibility of training talents for the other party.
"The future of the world of curse arts requires the cultivation of many, many talents. Just thinking about it makes it seem like a long-term plan." One day, Kanako said this while lying on the sofa with a popsicle in her mouth.
"Just like playing games, although killing the final dragon can be accomplished by the strongest person alone, precision in daily trivial matters requires the efforts of everyone." Geto Suguru closed a book. He didn't know how he had developed a new hobby.
He concluded: "What it means is that companions are necessary."
"My companions..." Gojo Satoru bit his popsicle, his neck stretched to the back of the sofa, "You are all I need."
"Enlightenment." Geto Suguru said softly.
"--That being said..." Gojo Satoru suddenly changed the subject, "Maybe you're right."
"I've been fed up with rotten oranges for a long time. Every day I have the urge to kill them all. But to use the words of Kujuku Yuki, that's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
Gojo Satoru pinched his chin and said, "My idea is to train the new generation of sorcerers into powerful beings, and then change the atmosphere of the sorcery world in one go."
"And then?" asked Ieiri Shoko.
"Maybe... I'll stay at the technical high school and become a teacher!" Gojo Satoru said excitedly, his mind definitely forming fantasies. "The thought of having a bunch of students affectionately calling me 'Gojo-sensei'~ feels pretty good!"
Ieiri Naoko slapped her forehead and said, "It's over! The most unethical teacher in history has been born. I bet on Principal Ye Moth that he won't be able to pass the teaching qualification exam."
"No, I don't think he'll take the exam at all," Suguru added.
Kanako saw through everything: "Give up, even if you have students they will call you Gojo Satoru!"
"Those sorcerers who aren't very talented should also have their own place," said Geto. "Don't ignore their abilities. After all, they are the majority... and they are the ones who need our protection."
Kanako was a little curious: "Speaking of which, besides you and me, what talent can be called the 'strongest' among the new generation?"
Geto Suguru: "On the surface, it should be the 'Ten Shadow Techniques' of the Zenin family. However, considering the cooperative stance of the three great families, I'm afraid he is tacitly on the side of the Zenin family."
"Yeah... I understand." No way.
The possibility of spoilers in the parallel world told her that the person with the "Ten Shadow Spells" had a chance to become Gojo Satoru's student, and he was definitely from the technical high school.
Then go and bring that guy back.
Back to reality, Kanako was squatting at the school gate waiting for someone.
When Kobayashi Sumiko heard that the Junior Detective Team would stay at school tonight, she was worried about their safety but also supported their actions. In the end, she tried to mediate and said that at least an adult should accompany them in the investigation.
She was planning to recommend herself until she saw a black car slowly approaching and stopping at the school gate.
A man in a dark uniform got out of the back seat. He wore black-framed glasses, had neatly trimmed short hair, and was holding a briefcase in his hand.
"Kanako-san." Ijichi Jiegao combed her hair like an adult and changed into adult clothes, so that at first glance she could be mistaken for an adult.
But in fact, what I was thinking was: Ahhh, Kanako-san is able to lead me on the mission, I should call her senior at a time like this!
Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes lit up, and she said with confidence, "Hello, I'll leave the children to you from now on!"
Ichichi Jiegao subconsciously returned the greeting: "Of course not..."
He also rigorously followed the persona Kanako had previously established at school, adding, "Please leave it to the Gojo Group. If you need written documentation..."
Even the wig-wearing dean of studies, who arrived later, clutched the document, convinced of it.
"This person is very responsible at first glance. You must pay attention to safety and listen to adults when necessary." Kobayashi Sumiko said solemnly.
Ijichi Jiegao: Thank you for the compliment! But this is my first time acting! I'm so nervous about what to do next!
Help, Kanako-senpai, help!
Kanako blinked her big, sparkling eyes. "Then I'll take Ichichi in first. Don't worry, we'll definitely be back before dinner. See you tomorrow, Mr. Kobayashi."
After saying goodbye to his homeroom teacher and the dean of studies, Yiji Chijiegao explained the situation to the security guard using the same words, and then followed a group of students into the campus.
Ijichi Jiegao walked to Kanako's side and quietly took out a piece of cloth from his briefcase. It was Youyun.
Kanako held it in her hand and asked, "Is this the place with the highest anomaly today?"
"Yes, if we're lucky, we might be able to find clues about the abnormal cursed power in Beika Town." Ijichi Jie lowered his head.
Conan saw his behavior and expression clearly, which made the latter feel a little surprised.
This kind of interaction is obviously the opposite of the traditional active-passive relationship... From this perspective, the staff member looks like a junior who is being cared for.
The Junior Detectives didn't notice this, and they murmured, "With adults here... I always feel like my abilities are being underestimated."
“I feel a little bit stuck…”
No... there's no need to worry about the presence of "adults," Conan thought.
Because someone else is in charge.
Kanako, who was walking in front, suddenly took off her school uniform jacket, revealing a black combat shirt with gold edges underneath.
The nunchaku appeared out of thin air and hung around her neck. The "adult" beside her named Ijichi took the coat, made a strange gesture with his fingers, and seemed to be muttering something.
Is he a butler? One of those servants that a young lady always has in her household?
Is that why the active and passive positions are reversed?
The young detective, who had solved countless cases, subconsciously rejected the above assumptions. His intuition told him that this case might not be as simple as he thought.
The anomaly in Beika Town... The Gojo Group...
Who exactly is Gojo Kanako?
【Author’s words】
I'll probably write a little rule-based weird story (rubbing my hands in anticipation) and solve the Beika Town incident.
