Chapter 73: Day 73
Chapter 73
Kanako lowered her head slightly and stared at the two girls who were shorter than her.
The two girls are twins, both with brown hair and eye color. Nanako Kaba has lighter brown hair, while Mimiko Kaba's dark brown is closer to black.
Very easy to identify.
They hid silently behind Geto Suguru, holding a corner of his high school uniform in their hands, looking up at the person who came with caution, with a hint of timidity in their alertness.
Before meeting Kanako, Geto Suguru asked both girls about their personal wishes and received positive responses from both girls.
"If Lord Geto wants us to meet someone, we will definitely treat her as our best friend." The two said in unison, their tone firm.
Geto Suguru: "...Don't worry too much about my feelings."
It seems that raising a child is a long and arduous journey.
Back in the afternoon, the door to the infirmary opened, and Ieiri Naoko took off her gloves. "The examination is complete. The wounds on your body were treated with a reversal technique, and the rest are mainly physical problems caused by long-term malnutrition."
Geto: "Thank you for your hard work, Nitro."
"Of course it's hard to work overtime. Remember to treat me to a meal next time." Ieiri Glass joked.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked.
"What?"
"Where are those two girls going? They can see cursed spirits, and judging by their age, they might have already awakened their magic. Ordinary people's shelters aren't suitable for them."
Hearing this, Xia Yujie's eyes suddenly became resolute: "I plan to adopt them."
Ieiri Shoko stood against the wall: "Keeping him in a technical high school? Just like Kanako."
"Glass," Geto said after a moment's hesitation. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you this... When I think about the possibility of new students being recruited from the public entering the technical college at any time, I occasionally see some of myself in them."
"Ichichi is very hardworking and is better than us at writing documents and reports. He will probably develop into an assistant supervisor in the future."
"Not everyone is gifted for combat. I suppose if I wasn't born with this technique, I might end up like Ijichi... No, I might not be able to match him in his area of expertise."
"And in this world, there are still many talented yet undiscovered sorcerers," said Geto Suguru calmly, "and they are even misunderstood, slandered, and bullied."
Ieiri Naoko understood: "Then the twin sisters belong to the latter three situations."
"That's right."
Ieiri Naoko: "Are you angry, Geto?"
"I'm not angry." Xia Yujie noticed that Ieiri Naoko's eyes were narrowed, and he changed his words, "Well, I was really angry at that time, to the point where I wanted to kill them all, but I'm much better now."
"When I saw Nanako and Mimiko, I was stunned, perhaps because their ages were too similar to Kanako's from three years ago."
"I can't help but think - if the person imprisoned in the cage now was Kanako, how angry I would be." Geto Suguru chuckled and shook his head.
"But how is that possible? If it was really Kanako, she would definitely pry open the cage immediately and then lock those people in."
"There is no cage that can hold her, no means that can restrict her freedom, because Kanako is strong enough."
Geto Suguru paused for a moment, then clasped his hands together and leaned forward in his sitting position.
"But not all children are Kanako, at least not Mimiko and Nanako," he said. "So I couldn't control my rage, so I endured it and returned to the ground, and blew up the entire field."
"So you killed them all?" Ieiri Naoko made a rare joke in a very casual way, essentially to ease Geto Suguru's emotions.
Geto Xia Yu blinked in disbelief and burst out laughing. "How is that possible! If I had killed them all and massacred the entire village, I wouldn't be at the technical high school now. Instead, I'd be on your wanted list of curse casters."
Ieiri Naoko tilted her head: "That's true."
Geto Suguru returned to the point, carefully considering his words before continuing, "Take me and Ichichi, for example. I was just the luckier one, possessing a technique that allowed me to master powerful abilities, and was discovered by the world of curse arts at the right time."
"For example, Kanako, Nanako, and Mimiko. If there weren't more strong, grown-up people supporting them, I'm afraid many bad people would interfere with their otherwise beautiful lives..."
Geto Suguru loosened his clenched hands, stood up and leaned next to Ieiri Nozomi.
"The strong protect the weak in order to maintain a good life for everyone. They punish and warn those who commit evil, and tell those who have been hurt... tell them—it's okay. Being hurt isn't your fault, and not being strong enough is definitely not an excuse for others to hurt you."
"The fault lies with the perpetrator." At this moment, Geto Suguru's voice became especially clear, echoing in the empty corridor. "I will protect the justice in people's hearts."
He wanted it, and he had the ability to do it. This was the thing that made Geto Suguru feel most gratified.
After figuring this out, Geto Suguru inexplicably felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, just like a clogged water pipe that had been cleared of garbage. His thoughts turned into water flowing along the pipe and rushed forward, finally gushing out in his mind.
Ieiri Naoko pursed her lips and said, "Geto, I think you should transfer to another school immediately and become a colleague of the judge."
Geto Xiayou: "Lawyer? Forget it, what we do is still somewhat in conflict with the laws and regulations..."
Ieiri Naoko interrupted, "No, the judge's colleague is called a master."
She pressed the button on the game console in her coat pocket, and the music of Pokémon suddenly filled the air: "Po Ke Mon, Ge To Da Zei!"
Ieiri Glass: "Become a wizard and uphold justice in this world, Getu, Leader of the Pokémon Club!"
Xia Yujie couldn't hold it in any longer: "Don't call me by that weird name that Panxing Sect gave me!!!"
"So what I'm saying is that you've realized your talent as a mother and are planning to adopt two new children," Ieiri Naoko succinctly concluded. "Everything else is fine, but have you asked Kanako about her opinion?"
Xia Yujie was a little surprised: "What?"
Ieiri Naoko patted his shoulder and said, "For example, a single mother is about to have a new child. As the eldest daughter in the family, Kanako may not say it out loud, but in her heart she resents the new child for taking away her mother's love for her—a potential family conflict like this."
"!" Xia Youjie quickly became serious, "That makes sense!"
Ieiri Naoko: "It's not too late to find out now!"
She made an encouraging gesture: "Keep going, and don't let me see your four names on the Family Dispute Resolution Channel one night."
The above is almost all that happened before Geto Suguru explained the situation to Kanako in the system chat room.
Back to the present, Kanako squatted down, hugged her knees and waved hello: "Hi, hello everyone, my name is Kanako."
The twins replied awkwardly, "Hello, Kanako."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, as if he was afraid that saying one more word would cause a bad impact.
Geto Xiayou explained: "I'm sorry, Kanako, they have been bullied for many years, and it will take some time for them to resume normal communication."
Kanako nodded in understanding and asked curiously, "Did Gon save them while on his mission?"
This time the twins reacted very quickly and craned their necks at the same time: "...Xiaojie?"
The twins will have a bad psychological stress response when they are under long-term oppression. When facing strangers other than their saviors, they will subconsciously choose to be afraid and want to escape.
But it was the warmth given by Geto Suguru that supported them to move forward slowly, allowing them to slowly find their original selves and gradually realize the courage deep in their hearts.
Nanako spoke first: "Master Geto, was Kanako calling you just now?"
Mimiko took her hand and reminded her, "Nanako, be polite."
Nanako: "Sister Kanako..."
Mimiko: "Sister Kanako."
Both have cute faces.
elder sister!
Kanako was overjoyed when she heard this and covered her chest: "Scream again!"
"Sister Kanako."
“!!!” Kanako was very satisfied, “Scream a billion more times!”
Xia Youjie choked: "Ahem..."
The voices of "sister" echoed in the room one after another, and Kanako's face seemed to have turned into a big ball of smile.
"I declare that from now on, you two will be under my care for the rest of your lives!" Kanako said decisively, "I will train you well to become the two kings of the future!"
System: "Where did these two kings come from? You must have just made them up!"
Happiness came too suddenly like a tornado, and the twins could intuitively feel the pure kindness from Kanako.
They each secretly glanced in the direction of Geto Suguru.
Sister Kanako...is also a child adopted by Master Getsu.
Xia Yujie noticed the two people's gazes and patted their heads gently: "You should treat Kanako the same way you treat me."
"Yes." "Understood."
Although they said so, the twins knew that they could not achieve that level in the short term.
Geto Suguru personally saved them from hell, which was enough to make him the object of their lifelong loyalty. No one could compare to him.
-What Mr. Getsu says is the truth, and they do whatever he tells them to do.
As if he had noticed what the two sisters were concerned about, Geto Suguru slowly told them what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, when Kanako was dealing with the strange story about the rules of Teitan Elementary School, Geto Suguru sent Kanako a text message.
[Kanako, can I borrow your glasses for a moment?]
At the same time as the text message was sent, Old X Village.
"This village has long had a legend of something fatal. An investigation by the High Commissioner revealed that it was actually caused by a cursed spirit."
Geto Xia Yu muttered to himself as he sat on a rock and wrote a temporary mission report on his phone: "—Commissioned Person in Charge: Geto Xia Yu."
"The following is a detailed account of the situation following an in-depth investigation."
"The haunting cursed spirit has been captured and awaits exorcism. It's estimated to be around level one, and it's been haunting the village for decades."
"The panic caused by the village legend mentioned earlier has had a certain positive impact on the strength of the cursed spirits. And also..."
The slander of an ugly human heart.
Geto Xia Yu closed his phone, rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and then raised his head.
The stone where he sat was located in the center of the village, where there was a relatively wide circular square.
In front of him, the village chief, elders and all the villagers who were free to move around in the old X village gathered here, looking unhappy and confused.
The old village chief frowned. "Didn't I tell you professionals to leave immediately after solving the problem? Why did you call all of us out?"
An elder also showed no patience: "That's right, I told you the problem lies with those two demons. You should have killed them by now."
Kill.
Seeing more and more people gathering in the square, Xia Yujie felt that killing them was indeed the easiest option.
But it doesn't work.
If he wanted to kill the source out of a momentary rage, what would be the difference between him and these ignorant residents?
In an instant, he remembered what Kanako had said.
Killing someone is meaningless. Once someone dies, they're dead, and they gain nothing. It sounds like giving them a way out.
There should be a follow-up to that passage.
Kanako licked her lips and said, "So the best way is to keep the other person alive, to keep them living a life worse than death, and to make them experience anxiety and panic every minute of their life."
[Since it is impossible to make all those who do evil repent, then let them suffer the consequences.]
As we recalled this, the local auxiliary supervisor happened to arrive.
He brought a whole box of glasses from Tokyo High School as requested by Takeshi Suguru.
"Thank you." Xia Yujie nodded politely. "One last favor for you. After you leave the square, please call the police immediately and meet them at the village entrance."
"Let me think about it. I'll use the reason for calling the police: I've discovered that the old X village in a remote area is suffering from a collective mental illness."
As the assistant supervisor walked away, Xia Yujie's previous statement was unanimously protested by the villagers.
"What do you mean? You're calling us crazy! I think you're the crazy one! A lunatic!"
Xia Yujie smiled and said, "Please open the boxes and choose a pair of glasses to wear."
The crowd's curses grew louder and louder. Some people even planned to leave, but after taking a few steps, they suddenly fell headfirst and feet upward, hanging upside down in the air.
“Ah!!!” “It’s haunted…it’s haunted!”
"Are you behind this? Are you in cahoots with the devil?!"
Geto: "I said, put on your glasses. Don't make me repeat it a third time."
The villagers had no choice but to obey his instructions.
When the village chief put on a pair of seemingly ordinary black-framed glasses, a "mountain of corpses" piled up by various non-human creatures suddenly appeared before his eyes.
In the center of what should have been an empty square, completely out of their sight, such a strange and disgusting thing had existed since who knows when.
Some of the villagers immediately vomited, and the village chief tried to crawl away in fear, but was caught by the cursed spirits under Geto Suguru.
That thing that looked like a mountain of corpses was actually a quasi-first-level cursed spirit from the old X Village.
The cursed spirit was very large, and Geto Suguru exorcised it halfway. He then transported its body and broken limbs back to the central square and reassembled them.
With the help of the cursed glasses, the villagers can see the curse with their naked eyes.
The low-level cursed spirits attracted by the huge cursed spirit jumped around the villagers, and their screams never stopped.
"You've all seen the true face of the devil, haven't you?" said Geto. "I regret to inform you that my investigation has revealed that the twin girls you imprisoned in the basement are actually the embodiment of the demon who suppresses it."
"It is because of them and their parents that only a very small number of people died in your village during the demonic invasion."
"When you start to harm their families, the power of suppression will gradually weaken." Xia Yujie stood up and walked towards the crowd.
"You yourselves created this situation. You tore open the protective shield with your own hands, allowing the demons to descend upon the world."
He stopped and reached out to touch the pile of flesh that was called a mountain of corpses.
Technique: Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique.
With a spiral suction, the huge quasi-first-level curse spirit was subdued in the palm of Geto Suguru's hand.
He deliberately hid the curse ball in his pocket and looked around expressionlessly at the villagers who were either kneeling or lying on the ground.
The anger in his eyes has subsided a lot.
"Where's the devil? The devil... disappeared." They looked around in despair.
"No, of course not."
After finishing the whole story, Geto Suguru smiled with relief.
He pointed at his chest and said, "The devil has returned to all of you. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second, he hides in the corners you can't see. He's just waiting to create the right accident and drag you down to hell."
"And you can't realize it." He would take back his glasses.
The villagers' faces gradually became distorted and hideous in extreme fear. At this moment, Xia Yujie's words fell into their ears and had become the whispers of the devil.
"Blame yourselves if you want to blame someone."
"Who told you to drive out the guardian angel?" Xia Youjie shrugged and waved his right hand, "Bye~"
Finally, the police received a report and arrived at the old X village. After confirming that everything was correct, they locked up all the villagers in a special ward on the grounds of collective mental illness.
The local auxiliary supervisor collected evidence of the entire village's brutal killing of the Jiachang family and submitted it.
Geto Suguru took Mimiko Kaba and Nanako Kaba back to the high school for treatment.
"That's all that happened." Xia Yujie's mouth was dry and his voice was a little hoarse when he said this. "I'm sorry, Mimiko and Nanako, I'm telling you about the past that made you unhappy again."
"It's okay." Nanako hugged him, "Whatever you do, Master Geto is right."
Nanako nodded vigorously: "It's no pity that I couldn't kill them all! I'll even curse them to live a hundred years and live in extreme misery for the rest of their lives!"
Geto Xia Yu smiled and said, "Well, I have to thank Kanako for reminding me."
Kanako felt relieved after hearing this and exclaimed sincerely, "That's great."
"As expected, Gon is the most reassuring person. He has become a super reliable adult." Kanako blinked, "...So, I will also become an extremely reliable sister and adult in the future, right?"
"Yes, Kanako, that day will definitely come."
Mimiko looked at Geto Suguru, turned around and thought for a while, then walked over and hugged Kanako.
“!”
Kanako was surprised and pulled Mimiko to join Geto Suguru's hugging team, and everyone hugged each other into a thick ball.
"I like Geto-sama the most...and I also like Kanako-sama the most." The twins whispered softly.
"Call me sister!"
"Sister!"
"Ahhhh no problem just shout it out!"
At this point, those who deserved retribution paid the price and went to hell.
Someone left hell and returned to the world.
[Current Cultivation Value: 86]
"Xiaojie."
"Um?"
"Did I ever tell you that you're quite talented in MLM?"
“…”
【Author’s words】
At this point, the long-term line to prevent Geto Suguru from going astray has come to an end.
There will be no more bitter summer in the original line
