Chapter 67 Chapter 67 I’m asking you a question.
Megumi Fushiguro's understanding of Eri Norimoto made him speak like this.
He knew that Eri Kimoto would never like timid people. Although it was a bit unfair to say this, Otsutsuki-senpai... I'm sorry, senior, but Eri's original complaint was not fake.
Rather than disliking her, Eri probably dislikes people with indecisive personalities. After spending such a long time together, Fushiguro Megumi thinks she has some understanding of her.
but.
But when he saw Eri Kimoto's current appearance, the inexplicable feeling of irritation in Fushiguro Megumi's heart began to stir again. He knew that it was not Yoshino Junpei's problem, and Eri probably had no interest in him.
But this feeling still affected him, and affected him severely.
The unhappiness and anxiety she felt now were real. Fushiguro Megumi stood there, feeling as if something was blocking her heart, a little stuffy and a little bitter.
...Well, it's very stuffy and astringent.
All of these things came flooding back at once, and Fushiguro Megumi found it a little unbearable. This was not the feeling he liked. He was a little at a loss, not knowing how to express himself better.
It's fine that Nobara is a girl, but whether it's Itadori or the newcomer Yoshino Junpei, they seem to disdain each other, yet they actually have a closeness they themselves don't realize... Perhaps this is how Eri treats her companions. But Megumi Fushiguro knows he wants more. If possible, he wants more than just a relationship as a colleague and a companion.
I want a definite answer, I want to confirm whether I am special in her heart, I want... I want to be closer to her.
Instead of the current situation where she avoids me and we don't communicate.
"..." Fushiguro Megumi bit her lower lip unconsciously, and her blue-green eyes were dark and complex, surging with emotion.
If I hadn't made it clear that day, maybe the two of us wouldn't be like this now.
Eri might still be the same as before, staying by her side when her seniors and peers are around, sharing with her everything that happened with her eyes that are always smiling and her usual dragging tone.
Megumi Fushiguro felt a little regretful. She was not the type to play it straight. But if she kept doing the same thing and said nothing, she might end up like what Panda-senpai had said, "I thought you would hold it in for ten years and end up like this." "The kind who drank bitterly at Eri's wedding with someone else."... But that would be too miserable.
The feeling he had never experienced before made Fushiguro Megumi's mind extremely confused. But Senior Panda was still by his side and did not let him go.
"Hui, you are not talking about yourself!" The senior covered his mouth, but still seemed to be screaming.
Fushiguro Megumi: ""
The boy closed his mouth, tilted his head and pointed it at it with the back of his head, obviously not going to say anything else.
The panda covered its mouth with its claws, looking completely hurt. It suddenly embraced the young man again, lowered its head to his ear and gave him advice.
"So you really can't be a stuffy guy at a time like this, Megumi! There's no point saying these heart-warming words here, you have to go talk to Eri-chan!!"
“....”
Panda kept telling him not to think that Eri Kimoto would not fall in love with Junpei Yoshino. Love is unpredictable. Many people have their own ideal standards before finding a partner, but even more people end up finding a partner that has nothing to do with what they had in mind.
...How could a panda know so much? Fushiguro Megumi did not forget to complain in his heart at this time, but then he thought about it and it seemed that what his senior said was true.
“…”
The senior next to her ear was still chattering, but Megumi Fushiguro stopped listening.
He ignored the panda, took a deep breath, and looked straight at Eri Kimoto again.
Qi Ben Eri had just finished drinking the water and threw the empty bottle accurately into the trash can. She tilted her head and looked over as if she felt his gaze.
Um.
Want to talk.
Megumi Fushiguro made up his mind that he needed to have a good talk with Eri, a private and serious talk.
He raised his foot and walked towards Eri Kimoto.
The distance between the two of them was shortening step by step. Fushiguro Megumi could clearly see the doubt in Eri Norimoto's eyes gradually deepening. The light of the setting sun outlined her figure and gave her hair a beautiful halo.
"Eri," Fushiguro Megumi stood in front of her.
"...Are you free tonight? I have something to tell you." Fushiguro Megumi reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and the boy looked into her eyes seriously.
"I'll come find you, stop hiding from me."
.
The two of them continued their practice tacitly until it was completely dark.
Eri Kimoto buried herself tightly in the blanket, as if she thought that by wrapping herself like a dumpling she would not be able to hear Fushiguro Megumi's footsteps. But as soon as there was a slight movement outside the door, this guy's ears would stand up higher than anyone else, capturing any slight movement like an antenna!
When that restrained and familiar knock on the door sounded, Eri Kimoto's heartbeat suddenly began to beat like a drum.
She knew she was a bit avoidant, but now it seemed she couldn't avoid it anymore! She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked over to open the door.
Megumi Fushiguro was standing outside the door, and the tension in her eyes, which was even greater than hers, was clearly visible without the need for dim light.
"....Come in." Eri Kimoto whispered, moving aside to let him in, and cleared her throat inadvertently. She felt strange and dry when she spoke just now.
Megumi Fushiguro nodded silently and walked into her room. To be honest, she had been here many times, but today seemed to feel different.
Quiet.
Very quiet.
Neither of them spoke, and the air seemed to be stagnant. If you insisted on speaking, you could only hear the two people's somewhat unstable breathing.
Eri Kimoto felt that she was not as nervous as she was when she was fighting with a special-grade cursed spirit!
The reason might be that she guessed the reason for his visit... If it was the same as she thought, Eri Kimoto subconsciously bit her lower lip, her heartbeat like a singing and dancing band beating drums crazily, Fushiguro-san... If he really hits her straight again, she would probably... maybe... it would be like that anyway!
Eri Kimoto watched him turn around to face her, looking at her with his beautiful blue-green eyes.
...Is it coming?!
However, what Megumi Fushiguro said was completely different from what Eri Nori expected.
"...I saw you coaching Yoshino Junpei today." He said,
Eri Nori lowered her head and was a little embarrassed: "Well, okay, I actually think that we are also - huh? Hmm? "
"...Ah, you mean Yoshino Junpei?"
Qi Ben Eri came back to her senses, thinking that he would not get straight to the point. Well, this is also his style. Okay, let's chat for a few more minutes.
"Yoshino Junpei is quite impressive. He's improved even faster than I thought. It might be because he said that special-grade cursed spirit transformed him or something."
When she mentioned this special-grade cursed spirit called Zhenren, Megumi Fushiguro frowned. This special-grade cursed spirit that can speak and think is the second one to appear. When Eri and Yuji Itadori went there, Sensei Gojo was also attacked by a special-grade cursed spirit that looked like a volcano. If he had not been a little careless at the time, the volcano head would not have been rescued by another special-grade cursed spirit.
"Mr. Nanami didn't let you go find that special grade cursed spirit..." said Megumi Fushiguro.
"Oh, I understand." Eri Kimoto knew what he was going to say and interrupted him, waving her hand. "It's a pity, but I'll just exorcise it when I see it next time."
Fushiguro Megumi: “Yeah.”
...Then what?
Eri Kimoto waited for his next words, but when he spoke again, he brought the topic back to Yoshino Junpei.
"Yoshino Junpei's technique is also to control Shikigami," he said.
"...so?"
Eri Kimoto tilted her head and wondered why it was Junpei Yoshino again. He really cared about his new classmates and was such a nice guy.
Fushiguro Megumi's voice was not loud, she just lowered her eyes and continued: "Me too."
“…”
".I know you are also a sorcerer who controls Shikigami."
Qi Ben Eri looked at him silently: "...and then?"
"Then,"
I don't know if he did it on purpose, but Fushiguro Megumi was just staring at the floor, as if there was something extremely attractive on the floor: "I think maybe, maybe some of my experience can help him."
The smile on her face faded a little, and she felt her heartbeat wasn't as fast as before. Qi Ben Eri frowned, and her tone became a little strange: "Then you really are a helpful companion?"
"But that's not necessary. Gojo Satoru has already handed over Yoshino Junpei's full authority to me."
Eri Kimoto's expression calmed down a bit. "Rather than coaching him, you should focus on preparing for the sister school exchange meeting soon."
Megumi Fushiguro stood there silently.
"good."
After hearing his answer, Eri Kimoto thought that it should be about time now!
Strictly speaking, the atmosphere was already a bit awkward!
It's about time to end this topic and move on to something more exciting——
"Then you have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
.
What? !
Leaving now?!
Qi Ben Eri widened her eyes and stood there in a daze, looking at the boy as if he was really about to leave.
So what on earth was all this nervousness, all these scenarios she'd imagined, and even the responses she'd secretly rehearsed for so long?!
So he came up with this? He was talking about something about Yoshino Junpei. What kind of issue was this? The issue of Yoshino Junpei's education?
An indescribable feeling of loss and anger suddenly surged up in her. Eri Kimoto stared at the young man who had not looked at her seriously since he entered the door. He still had his eyes lowered, his lips tightly pursed, and his fingers rolled up in his shirt sleeves.
It was clearly an outfit that she really liked even though she didn't say it. The white shirt and black school pants made Fushiguro look fresh and clean, with a good figure and a youthful look. But his temperament now seemed different from before.
Now, something that doesn't belong to Megumi Fushiguro appears... Is this some kind of weird negativity?
Could it be that he regretted it?
Actually, when Toudou Aoi asked him about his ideal type that day, it was just an impulse. Now he wanted to use this method to ease the situation and pretend that nothing happened? Qi Ben Eri's nameless anger suddenly flared up even more.
Of course, Fushiguro Megumi also noticed that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, or perhaps he felt that his proposal today was indeed stupid. He had originally planned to have a good talk with her about that topic, but it was more difficult to bring up than he had imagined. If it caused her trouble, it would be better...
So stupid.
"I'm leaving first."
Megumi Fushiguro's voice was almost inaudible. He took two steps forward and reached out to pull the door handle.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the door handle——
"stop."
Qi Ben Eri's voice turned completely cold, with a kind of anger hidden under the calmness: "Who allowed you to leave?"
Eri Kimoto took a few steps forward and stood between him and the door. She raised her head, and her red eyes, which always contained teasing and nonchalant expressions, were now clearly reflecting his appearance, shining as brightly as burning flames.
"Foshiguro Megumi."
"You came to my room late at night just to say this?"
Qi Ben Eri's voice was not loud, but it made the boy in front of him froze for a moment. Perhaps it was because he rarely was called by his full name like this.
Megumi Fushiguro could not avoid her gaze, and was also seen through by her eyes. His throat was tight, and the mute wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Hello,"
"I'm asking you a question."
Eri Kimoto took a step closer, and the distance between them instantly shortened to a dangerous level, which made Fushiguro Megumi subconsciously tilt her head. However, Eri Kimoto didn't care at all. She just reached out and grabbed the boy's collar, forcing him to lower his head and get closer to her.
"Answer me, is this the only reason you came here today?"
