Chapter 298 The Dreaming Player! "Singer Diva..."
"Senior Geji? Senior Mingming? Why are you here?" Ieiri Shoko looked at the two people standing at the door of the infirmary and asked with some confusion.
The black-haired girl wearing a shrine maiden's outfit and with her hair parted into two neatly tied strands, and the tall girl with her long light blue hair tied into a braid that covered half of her face, were none other than Angehime from Kyoto Jujutsu High School and Meimei who was out on a mission.
"Xiaozi, actually, it's because of the previous mission... Mingming and I came here specifically to thank you."
An Geji shifted the bag in her hand forward and said a little sheepishly, "Because of an error in the mission data, Mingming and I were trapped by that cursed spirit for so long. Luckily, you arrived in time and saved us."
"Well, because of this, the shy singer actually paid me a pretty good fee." Mingming curled his lips into a smile. "I'm pretty busy."
"Mingming!" The singing girl blushed and felt a little angry.
"So it's about this..." Ieiri Naoko leaned against the door, casually stroking her short hair. "I didn't actually contribute much. It's all thanks to Gojo and Geto. If I want to thank them, wouldn't it be better to go directly to them?"
"That being said... I really don't want to bow down to those two powerful but awful individuals, especially Gojo Satoru, who doesn't respect his seniors!" Angehime whispered, "So I'm going to leave the thank-you gifts for them with you as well."
"Senpai-san...you're right." Ieiri Shoko couldn't help but arch her eyebrows when she thought of how Senpai-san would get so angry at Gojo and Kasugano every time they met.
"You won't let us in, Nitro?" Mingming suddenly asked.
"Well..." Ieru Naoko carefully pressed the door to prevent it from creaking.
"Huh? Is there someone inside?" Angehime asked with some confusion as she looked at Ieiri Shoko's actions.
"Ah... that's right." A hint of worry appeared on Ieiri Naoko's face at the right time. "The new student was seriously injured during the mission yesterday due to the assistant supervisor's mistake. The cursed spirit's level was higher than expected. If Gojo hadn't insisted on going to eat nearby, and we hadn't happened to run into him..."
"But even so, we can only say that he has barely saved his life. He needs to recuperate for a while." As the only person in the world of curse who possesses a reversal technique, Ieiri Shoko's judgment is very convincing.
"So that's how it is... Then let her have a good rest, and we won't go in and disturb her for now." Looking through Jiari Glass at the seemingly motionless hospital bed behind her, Mingming lowered his eyes and handed the gift box in his hand to the brown-haired girl.
"Mingming? Are you leaving so soon? Wait for me... Then we'll go first!" Looking at the tall girl's back gradually going away, An Geji handed all the things in her hands to Naoko, and then hurriedly caught up with her.
Standing there, Ieiri Naoko could still hear the faint conversation between the two.
An Utahime: "Why are you walking so fast? I haven't had a good chat with Nozomi yet!"
Ming Ming: "I'm in a hurry to make my next fortune, Diva."
An Geji: "Mingming! Didn't we agree that this period of time belongs to me? I'm the employer!"
Ming Ming: "Ah, do you want to run into Gojo and Geto? I don't care."
An Utahime: "What? If we're going to meet those two guys, forget it. Let's go!"
As An Geji spoke, she took Mingming's arm and urged her to move forward.
…
After the two figures completely disappeared, Ieiri Naoko walked into the infirmary again carrying two large bags of gift boxes.
"He's quite the unexpected arrival, don't you think? Aurora."
"...Aurora?" After calling out several times without receiving any response, Ieiri Naoko frowned unconsciously. She quickly walked over and lifted the blanket from the bed, but her expression softened when she saw the pale black-haired girl with a faint smile. "What? She fell asleep..."
Fortunately, I just fell asleep and it wasn't the result of any sequelae.
Naoko Ieiri tucked Aurora's right hand, which was exposed outside, back into the quilt, and then went to the pharmacy to prepare medicine for her.
And in a place where she didn't notice, a pitch-black crow stood on a branch, blinked its eyes smartly, and then disappeared outside the window of the medical room like the wind.
**
Listening to the conversation between Ieiri Shoko and the unknown NPCs, the player, with most of his face hidden under the quilt, blinked slowly and fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
In the dream, the player once again came to the place that seemed to have endless darkness - but this time, the bright light like fireflies flickering around the road in front of the player became more and more obvious.
Guided by the increasingly abundant memory fragments, the player took one step at a time and once again saw three huge balls of light - two and a half to be exact.
The huge and complex-colored light group No. 1 is slowly merging into the pure-colored light group No. 2 under the influence of irresistible force, while the originally dim and lifeless light group No. 3 becomes dazzling like a gem whose dirt has been washed away by rain.
However, the tiny cracks within this gem make its beauty appear fragile and shattered, like fleeting bubbles that disappear at the touch of a finger...
"This is the second time I've seen you..." The player stood there, watching the three balls of light spinning according to a specific pattern, and muttered, "What do you want me to know?"
Was this a dream? But this real feeling didn't seem to be...
Is that reality? But how do you explain this inexplicable sense of peace...
The ball of light remained silent, spinning blindly. However, the player, who received no answer, suddenly perked up and, soothed by the inexplicable power swirling around them, fell into a familiar slumber once again.
[…It will be over soon… Until then, just wait patiently…]
My child...
————————
"Jay, when do you think Aurora will wake up?"
Gojo Satoru, who hadn't even had time to rush to the dessert shop before running back to the technical high school, looked at the black-haired girl sleeping soundly and said with dissatisfaction, "We two have been working so hard, and she's just hiding here with Glass and sleeping!"
"Well, let's just wait a while. It's not that urgent." Xia Yujie smiled and then asked, "Speaking of which, Wu, have all the things I gave you been installed?"
"Hmph, is there anything I can't handle?" Gojo Satoru snorted. "But you, don't hold Aurora and me back."
"Of course I'll do better than you." Not willing to be outdone, Geto Xia Yu emphasized, "I used all the tracking arrows she gave me!"
"Huh? Am I not that?" Gojo Satoru said loudly.
"Hey, you guys... do you know this is the medical room?" Ieiri Naoko looked at the two people who were arguing more and more fiercely over a trivial matter and reminded them, "Don't disturb the injured person's rest here, or get out."
"She's not injured... in the medical room... Nazko is right, we really should keep quiet." Gojo Satoru, who was about to argue, suddenly remembered something and smiled maliciously, "But Jay, don't you think Aurora's face is a little too clean right now?"
Ieiri Shoko was surprised by Gojo Satoru's sudden change of action: "..."
Sure enough, she was thinking too much. Gojo Satoru was still the same Gojo Satoru.
"Wu, what do you want to do?" asked Geto Suguru, who suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Of course, add some paint to Aurora's face... to make her serious injury look more realistic!" Gojo Satoru smiled evilly and took out a colored paintbrush from somewhere.
"Wait a minute, isn't this a good idea?" Geto Suguru tried to stop him, but he was standing at the door and was obviously not as close to Aurora as Gojo Satoru who was leaning against the bed. He could only watch the white-haired boy move his hand holding the colored paintbrush closer to the black-haired girl's face.
However, Gojo Satoru's 'trick' ultimately failed.
The black-haired girl opened her eyes just in time and grabbed Gojo Satoru's hand as he tried to cause trouble. Her tone still carried the laziness of someone who had just woken up: "I had a bad feeling in my dream, but now it seems I was right."
"Gojo, what are you trying to do?"
…
…
"Aurora, are you awake?" Ieiri Naoko pushed Gojo Satoru aside and asked with some concern. "Although I checked with the reversal technique, because of the pacifier on your body, I can't really see clearly."
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"
"Oh! Don't worry, Glass!" The player blinked, struck a strong pose, and smiled, "I feel great right now. I just had a warm and beautiful dream!"
"Glass, you are really biased. I have never seen you care so much about me and Jie, Jie, don't you think so?!" Gojo Satoru, who was ruthlessly pushed away, pouted and stood aside, chirping loudly with dissatisfaction, and even dragged the innocent Geto into the mix.
"Gorillas don't need my concern." Ieiri Naoko paused and added, "Especially the gorilla that often destroys my medical room."
Knowing that Glass was referring to the time before Aurora entered school, when he and Satoru often competed regardless of the venue, resulting in huge damage to the surrounding environment, including the medical room, Geto Suguru coughed twice and touched his nose guiltily.
However, now that he's heard this, Satoru should probably calm down now...
"That's not my fault, it's all Jie's fault!" Gojo Satoru confidently pushed all the blame off his shoulders. "If Jie hadn't been whispering some bullshit into my ear, I wouldn't have wanted to beat him up so repeatedly!"
Geto Summer Oil: “…”
Geto Suguru, you are so naive. How can you expect anything from Wu in this regard?
"As expected, I can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth," Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and said, "Satoru, let's go outside and have a competition now."
"Okay, who's afraid of who!" Gojo Satoru rolled up his sleeves, ready to go.
The player who watched Ieiri Naoko hide expertly and gave her a look that said, "As expected," said, "..."
"Calm down, the important thing now is business." The player placed the golden sword between the two men with an expressionless face, preventing a tragedy in the medical room.
"Let's take a look at your achievements today!"
