Chapter 17

This parallel world must have experienced a doomsday period, and most of the food had been looted. It was sheer luck that Ling Yi was able to find the milk and bread last time. He also had to search half of the city's stores to find the four lollipops. Desserts like Kikufuku that are difficult to preserve would probably be even harder to find.

Ling Yi, along with the three cursed spirits, wandered around Xiao Se's town. Whenever he saw a building, he would go in to try his luck. Today, his luck was not very good. After walking down three streets, he only found two bottles of drinking water.

The two bottles of water were bravely held above Little Sadness's head. Little Sadness had two long, 囧-shaped eyes, and the two bottles of water stood just above his eyes, like two angry eyebrows, which was very funny.

Little Fear and Little Despair didn't get the credit for helping Ling Yi get the water, so they couldn't help but squeeze Little Sadness. Little Sadness protected the water while expressing his dissatisfaction with the other two.

Ling Yi found two bags of ramen in an abandoned car. He handed one bag each to Little Fear and Little Despair. The two took the bags carefully and, like Little Sadness, protected them above their heads as if they were precious and fragile items. The three of them were finally in harmony...

Ling Yi continued to wander with the cursed spirit, walking through half of the city, and found some biscuits and dried fruits, which were barely enough for the four players. During this time, they also passed by a store specializing in Kikufuku, but the store was already empty, with not even half a bag of Kikufuku left.

Ling Yi estimated the time and walked towards the other half of the city...but he still didn't find Kikufuku until he was almost out of time.

"This is a bit difficult." Ling Yi began to think about what kind of pleasant emotions people who like to eat Kikufuku will experience after eating Kikufuku. Some of the emotions he received before were still retained, but they were too weak. If he used them, the effect might not be obvious.

Moreover, while eating the biscuit, I felt the joy of eating Kikufuku, which seemed a bit perfunctory.

After all, we still have to find the real Kikufuku.

Ling Yi stood on the empty street and encountered the first difficult thing in his life as a demon. Just when he was considering spending more time and searching in another city, Little Sadness suddenly came over and rubbed against him.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yi asked puzzledly.

Little Sadness squirmed its body and pushed Ling Yi in one direction. Ling Yi followed its movement and finally stopped in front of the guard room of a primary school.

There was a box of Kikufuku placed prominently on the table in the guard room. The good news was that it was edamame flavored, but the bad news was that it was about to expire.

"If I take it back like this, people will probably dislike it." Ling Yi said helplessly, "But it's better than having nothing."

After finding the Xi Jiufu he needed, Ling Yi finally returned with the three cursed spirits. When he returned to the gate of the high school, he took over the food that the three had carried for him all the way.

"Thank you for your help. See you next time." Ling Yi said goodbye to the three.

The three cursed spirits huddled together, unwilling to look at Ling Yi, until his figure disappeared inside the high school gate. Then they each found a spot, as if they had turned into stone statues guarding the house, motionlessly waiting for their next encounter with the young man...

Ling Yicai walked into the technical high school when a man came towards him. He was a white-haired boy wearing sunglasses with his hands in his pockets, as if he just happened to pass by here while taking a walk. However, looking at his hair wet with dew, it was obviously not the case.

Gojo Satoru played with his sunglasses, his deep blue eyes staring directly at the young man in front of him. Just like yesterday, the young man was covered in residual cursed energy as soon as he came back, as if he had been rolling in a pile of cursed spirits.

"It seems that what happened at the technical high school didn't affect your work." Gojo Satoru spoke. His purpose was similar to Sukuna and Hisoka's. He waited here early in the morning to confirm how Ling Yi entered and left the technical high school. However, when he thought of the man in front of him refusing to communicate, he couldn't suppress his anger. Was he, Gojo Satoru, an outsider? He treated him like an ordinary player and refused to reveal anything. It was really too much.

"I just went to buy breakfast." Ling Yi's answer was the same as yesterday. To prove it, he handed over the Kikufuku in his hand.

Gojo Satoru paused when he saw Kikufuku. He took it and said, "Are you trying to bribe me?"

Ling Yi tilted his head and asked, "Isn't this what you asked for yesterday?"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

[Hahahahaha, Goko-chan was speechless after what he said]

[I've been waiting all morning, but I feel so sorry for the little kitten]

[So Principal Satoru brought back Kikufuku to comfort the player Satoru]

[Yesterday, the player Wu only asked a question, and today the principal Wu brought it back. I want to lock 20tCP]

[Although Goto Neko said he didn't want to buy it, his hands were honest and he opened the package right away.]

[Because that’s the Kikufuku that cats can’t resist, and it’s edamame flavored]

[Hey, what is Player Wu looking at? Why isn't he eating? ]

[Player Wu seems angry? 】

In the picture, Gojo Satoru opened the package of Kikufuku, took out a bag, but did not eat it for a long time.

Gojo Satoru's gaze shifted from Kikufuku to Ling Yi's face. The young man in front of him looked calm, as if he didn't think there was a problem, but his expression darkened a little.

If at other times, a friend gave him a last-minute dessert, he would treat it as a prank, eat it with a laugh, and then ridicule and complain about it. But now he couldn't think of any reason why Ling Yi would do this, nor did he think that the other him in this world had fallen so low that he would buy last-minute food to treat him. So something must have happened in the outside world, and it must be a big thing. Even a product as popular as Kikufuku has reached the point of expiring.

If I think about it carefully, yesterday's milk and bread were not very fresh. Also, although the other party did not say it explicitly yesterday, the two lollipops seemed to be specially prepared for him with his six-eyes condition in mind. So since they thought of preparing candy, why not just buy him his favorite Kikufuku?

Although they live in different worlds, their tastes shouldn't be that different, right?

Rather than speculating that the other party didn't know his taste and just bought a random lollipop, Gojo Satoru believed that there was some reason why the other party couldn't buy Kikufuku yesterday.

And today, Ling Yi brought him the last-minute Kikufu. It must have taken a lot of effort to buy such a Kikufu.

What on earth happened outside? ——This sentence rolled to his lips, but was swallowed back by Gojo Satoru. How could he not understand himself? If he wanted to say it, he would have said it when he first asked...

Gojo Satoru tore open the Kikufuku packaging bag, threw the glutinous rice dessert into his mouth, chewed it viciously for a few times, and after swallowing it, he looked at the young man in front of him who was still calm and composed, and couldn't help but speak:

"Kikufu is delicious, but your personality really makes me angry!"
