Chapter 201 Extra 2 (xyj's perspective, catching bugs)

"All sorcerers are crazy."

Can this sentence, which is widely circulated in the magic world and seems to be both a fact and a joke, be considered a curse?

Xia Yujie thinks the answer is "yes".

Perhaps Igarashi Yuuki was also cursed by these words.

Everyone thinks that Yuuki Igarashi is a sorcerer who doesn't look like a sorcerer at all, and can truly be considered an "outlier" among sorcerers.

However, Geto Suguru thinks that Igarashi Yuuki has never been an outlier. He just still regards himself as an "ordinary person" who is no different from himself before he had no spells and had not entered the world of spells - although such an idea still seems very unusual among the group of spell casters.

But fortunately, because he is so powerful, and has two equally powerful friends and companions who are also considered "aliens" by his side, he does not seem so abnormal.

“Different species” now have companions and “same species”, can this be considered a kind of “perfection”?

At first, Geto Summer Oil sincerely held this thought.

When he and Gojo Satoru invited Igarashi Yuuki to join the world of sorcery, he truly felt from the bottom of his heart that "sorcerers" and "ordinary people" were different, and their companions were on the other side. If they insisted on staying in the world of ordinary people, they would always feel a gap and feel painful. With such a kind thought, Geto and Gojo Satoru invited Igarashi Yuuki to join the High School of Sorcery.

This is based on the most real thoughts that Geto Suguru has personally experienced in the world of ordinary people over the past decade.

——He mistakenly regarded Igarashi Yuuki as a “peer” like himself.

But this is actually the most natural thing.

Unlike Gojo Satoru, who has grown up in the world of sorcery since childhood, Igarashi Yuki, like him, can be said to be a "wild sorcerer" who has been growing up wildly in the world of ordinary people for the past ten years. It is natural for Geto to think that Igarashi Yuki's thoughts about himself, others, ordinary people and sorcerers would be the same as his.

Even if there are some differences in concepts, that is normal - after all, there are no two people in the world who are exactly the same, so it is naturally impossible for everyone to have exactly the same ideas, right?

Of course, in addition to this, Igarashi Yuuki is also an excellent companion - strong, excellent grades, gentle and stable personality... If you want to list all the advantages, it would be difficult to list them all at once.

The guy with a troublesome personality only needs Satoru.

Although Gojo Satoru always claims that Igarashi Yuki is his "half-brother", and there are always some people who think that their personalities look very similar when they see them for the first time, but Kagome secretly thinks that Igarashi Yuki has many similarities with him.

But to be more specific...Kaguya feels that his relationship with Igarashi Yuuki can be considered a "gentleman's friendship" or a close friend.

Igarashi Yuuki is actually a very meticulous person. Xia Yujie feels that his own personality is already "calm" enough, but Igarashi Yuuki is even better.

It’s a bit funny to say that the first time Geto Suguru noticed the mutual understanding between the two people... was when they both concealed something about Gojo Satoru.

...No, maybe it was even earlier - when they went on their first mission together, when Igarashi Yuuki handed the box of candy to him in a joking manner and without saying a word.

After that, the two began a three-year long tacit cooperation with each other.

In fact, the reason is not complicated - most of the time, it is just because he doesn't want to make Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko worry, or let Gojo Satoru get into trouble.

But it was this tacit understanding that had been maintained for three years that prevented third-year student Geto Kagome from asking the question under the setting sun that day, which he had clearly already noticed but had still hesitated to ask.

Thinking about it over and over again the next day, Xia Yujie even hated those tacit understandings.

There were still a lot of sour candies left in the two boxes that Yuuki Igarashi gave him, but from some point on, Kagome Kagome suddenly felt that the candies were no longer sour, but extremely bitter.

But Xia Yujie thought...even if he had noticed it earlier, the result would not have changed much.

"All sorcerers are crazy."

This statement is both a curse and a fact.

Geto Suguru once thought that this statement was not true, at least not when it comes to Igarashi Yuuki, but in fact Igarashi Yuuki is indeed a qualified curser - and naturally a qualified "madman" as well.

The change in Igarashi Yuuki did not actually start from a certain moment in that year that they did not notice, but originated from the summer of their second year, when they first tasted the taste of "defeat" in the true sense and met Fushiguro Shinji.

In fact, Geto Suguru had never actually seen the scenes of Igarashi Yuuki fighting against Fushiguro Shiji and Gojo Satoru, but even from the few words of Gojo Satoru after that fight and the remaining marks on Igarashi Yuuki's body, Geto Suguru could guess what happened at that time - in order to defeat Fushiguro Shiji, Yuuki had a deeper fusion with the special cursed spirit in his body, and... he "lost control" later.

——There is no way back.

With a simple thought, one can find that, in fact, since that time, no, perhaps even earlier, when they had not yet noticed, the sequelae of fusion with the "Greedy Beast" already existed, and these were terrible sequelae that could not be cured or reversed even by the reversal technique... It was destined from that time that Yuuki Igarashi's future was only that one.

And Yuxi himself must have known this result a long time ago.

But he still made the decision alone without hesitation - from that moment on, the guy had already made the decision, right?

"He will never regret any of his choices." This sentence seemed to have a new meaning. Was this sentence said to him? Kagome began to be uncertain. It was a strong comfort in Yuuki Igarashi's personal style.

"All sorcerers are crazy." And Igarashi Yuuki is even worse.

The more he thought about the past, the more Xia Yujie's "hatred" for Igarashi Yuki grew.

He tried to treat Igarashi Yuuki as his "peer", and therefore when he felt his own ideals wavered, he almost unsurprisingly turned his attention to him, and also saw the true ray of hope there, but just as he made up his mind - that ray of light took the initiative to throw itself into the darkness, and he was left alone standing in the shadows.

At first, Geto Xia Yu was shocked and unable to understand, and after realizing that his determination could not be changed, he found it unbearable and began to feel "hatred" in his heart - even though he knew that this hatred came without any reason and was completely unfounded.

Even though Geto gradually "understood" it later, he was still stubborn and didn't change his mind - understanding and agreement have nothing to do with each other.

No, it’s better to say… the more I understand, the more upset I feel, and the harder it is to eliminate the “hatred”.

It was only after Igarashi Yuki defected that Geto Suguru began to realize that it was not the case from the beginning - Igarashi Yuki was indeed an "alien". In fact, from the very beginning, he was an "alien" among "alien" - from the very beginning, no one was truly the same as him.

He and he are "of the same kind", but in fact they can only be called "companions" for a period of time, walking on two seemingly identical roads.

All the ideas that Igarashi Yuuki saw, felt, and held in his heart were different from his from the beginning. So his "path" was different from Wu and him at the very beginning.

——Just like what he said the last time he saw Igarashi Yuuki, exactly.

...What a ridiculous thing.

That kind of "hatred" lasted for a long time, so long that it could not be eliminated even after ten years. Or in other words... it could not be eliminated without seeing Igarashi Yuuki.

Accepting the departure of Igarashi Yuki is something that is both difficult and easy. It may be difficult for Gojo Satoru, but it is also easy for Geto Suguru - especially as Igarashi Yuki herself said, Geto Suguru understands him very well, so he is more and more able to understand what his departure means, so after the initial disbelief, he quickly accepted this reality calmly.

But it is easy to accept this, but it is difficult to adapt to it - this is true for both Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

The departure of Igarashi Yuuki is like the snow that fell from the sky on the day he disappeared in front of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru - the fluttering snowflakes fell silently from the sky, continuously, and then gradually became thicker, and finally buried people in the thick snowdrifts without knowing it - and when people found out, the snow was already so deep that people could not see clearly.

Xia Yujie felt that Igarashi Yuuki was that snow. A snow that continued to fall for more than ten years in their future.

Gojo Satoru couldn't understand this, and thought that his obsession was too deep, and often looked at him with a helpless look, "I always feel that Jie's hatred for that guy is even enough to generate a special cursed spirit - oh, it's really scary, Jie." Xia Yu Jie never explained. There is no need to explain.

Of course, Xia Yujie felt that Gojo Satoru was not much better than him - did he think his cover-up was so clever?

Kagami Kagome sneered at Gojo Satoru's attempt to pretend that nothing had happened. His acting was really terrible, okay?! If he cared, this guy should care more than him, okay?

In the ten years since Igarashi Yuuki left, Geto Goto has plunged headfirst into the vortex of the General Manager's Office without looking back. Gojo Satoru's brain seems to be focused on aspects related to spells. He has full theoretical experience in factional struggles and no practical experience, just like a child.

Fortunately, Geto had never expected anything from him in this regard, so he took away the resources of the Gojo family without any hesitation, and then perfunctorily sent Gojo Satoru to be his teacher - he started from the top level, and Gojo Satoru started from the bottom level, and the cooperation between the two sides was perfect.

The four people from the high school originally had a dedicated chat room, and of course there were also several rooms with only three people... and even though Igarashi Yuuki had "defected" and was no longer a student of the Jujutsu High School, those rooms had never been disbanded.

Whether it was Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, or Ieiri Naoko, all three of them unanimously and tacitly continued to use those chat rooms as a means of communication.

As for Nanako and Mimiko, Kagome Gakuen originally planned to adopt them both - after all, leaving them to Gojo Satoru to take care of them, and Kagome Gakuen felt that it was not reliable no matter how he looked at it.

Then, Gojo Satoru rejected it without hesitation.

"I spent a billion to buy these two hostages, so I can't leave them to you, Jay." He pretended to be nonchalant and emphasized, "After all, if something happens, my billion will be gone, right? Of course, it won't be a problem if I'm here. After all, I'm the undisputed best in every aspect."

Xia Yujie: “…”

Does he think he is a fool and can't see his true thoughts and intentions?

This guy's thoughts are completely written on his face!

But in the end, Geto didn't adopt Nanako and Mimiko. The reason was simple: the Gojo family had more money and more free time. At least in terms of "free time", Geto thought it would be better to give them to Gojo Satoru. After all, it was hard to guarantee that those stubborn rotten oranges and cursers would continue to attack the twins.

Then he began to discover that Gojo Satoru was actually serious about being a "guardian" - he even bought several parenting books and read them very seriously, although those parenting books were later criticized by Gojo Satoru as "completely useless" and then thrown away without mercy.

Hearing Gojo Satoru muttering that he would make Yuki bankrupt and pay him all his money in the future, Geto Suguru remained silent for a rare time.

Geto Summer Oil: ...So where does this guy get the qualifications to complain and advise me not to care too much and can't let it go?

After his defection, Igarashi Yuuki's name became known throughout the entire world of curse arts.

But later, during the more than ten years after he disappeared, because no trace of him could be found, the name "Igarashi Yuuki" gradually became a "taboo that cannot be spoken" in the world of sorcery, and in the end no one mentioned it anymore - Kagome Kagome didn't even need to guess to know that it must have been the work of the angry and humiliated general managerial department.

Gojo Satoru didn't care about it at all, while Kagome Kei remained silent.

So gradually, apart from them, the number of people who knew the names of "Igarashi Yuuki" and "Greedy" naturally became fewer and fewer... In the end, apart from them, there was really no one who remembered the name of "Igarashi Yuuki" and his story anymore, and they were the only ones who could talk to them about "Igarashi Yuuki".

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Xia Yujie thought darkly, when he defected, did he ever think that his name would be remembered by everyone? Or, in other words, would that be considered as fulfilling one of his "wishes"?

And now no one knows his name, what should we do?

...But in the end, they are still there to remember.

Maybe his "wish" was finally fulfilled?

If that guy could hear me...I guess his answer would be "yes", right?

If a person dies, he will definitely be lonely. So -
