Chapter 202 Extra 3 (Glass perspective)

As a semi-bystander, Ieiri Shoko often feels that there is a reason why Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Igarashi Yuuki can hang out together.

The three strongest sorcerers; they are also the three most similar.

They are also three weirdos in the world of magic.

Perhaps most strong people have some strange ideas... So not only Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, but also Igarashi Yuuki. For example, they think they are the only one in the world, the weak survive and the strong support the weak, and I am no different from all living beings... In short, each one is weirder than the other.

Maybe the fact that she doesn't have any weird ideas is the reason why she can't become like them?

Although they are from the same period, Naoko Ieiri feels deep down that the three of them are different from her.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this... Rather, it would be terrible if she became like them one day. She might even get goosebumps all over her body. Who wants to become like those three bastards? !

Needless to say, Gojo Satoru's guy is simply a person with flaws that have become spirits. On the surface, Geto Suguru's guy seems to be trying to keep things quiet, but in fact, what he often does is to watch the fun and fan the flames beside Gojo Satoru, while pretending to be innocent on the surface. Igarashi Yuki's guy is just a lot better than the other two guys, but he also has a more fatal flaw - bad luck.

So, she would be in trouble only if she became like those three, okay?

There's nothing wrong with this, because even though her relationship with the three of them isn't as close as theirs, as they're from the same class, they can still be considered good friends. And Ieiri Shoko has never thought about becoming as close as them - people should at least have some personal privacy. Who wants to be as close as the three of them and be inseparable every day?

And those three guys...according to Ieiri Naoko's idea, aren't they just three equally lonely guys who got together? In her heart, Ieiri Naoko completely refused to join them.

She was just an ordinary sorcerer - of course, not the "ordinary" one that Igarashi Yuuki said. She didn't have such strong power nor so many weird ideas. Besides, it was normal for people to be close to each other, so wasn't the current distance good enough? If they were any closer... it would be very dangerous. In every sense of the word.

Of course, it turns out that not all of her ideas can be realized. For example, her relationship with Igarashi Yuuki suddenly became closer when she wasn't paying attention, and even her relationship with Gojo Satoru and Kagami Kagome was also affected.

——Igarashi Yuuki is indeed a dangerous weirdo. He can become friends with anyone, and his social distance is unpredictable like a spring. This guy is really scary.

However... there is nothing wrong with having a better relationship with him. Since his "bad luck" debuff does not seem to work on her, Ieiri Shoko thinks she can turn a blind eye.

Although she didn't see Gojo Satoru and Geto Kagome's reactions after Igarashi Yuuki "defected", she could tell from their expressions that they were more surprised, unbelievable, and reacted strongly to the news than the other. This is understandable, after all, the relationship between the three of them has always been the best.

And she herself - Ieiri Shoko was surprised to find that her reaction was much calmer than she had imagined.

What even surprised her the most was that "Igarashi Yuuki's curse was not innate, there was a special curse spirit in his body, and the two of them had already merged." What the hell, she was the last person to know about this until the dust settled? !

Although she was not unsurprised by Igarashi Yuuki's murder, her surprise was much more ordinary than Gojo Satoru and Geto Kagami's. But this does not mean that Ieiri Shoko does not understand Igarashi Yuuki more than the two of them, but... maybe it is because of "bystanders see more clearly", Ieiri Shoko thought, maybe she actually understood some of Igarashi Yuuki's problems earlier than Gojo Satoru and Geto Kagami.

All sorcerers are crazy, and Igarashi Yuuki is naturally one of them - perhaps Ieiri Shoko knew this matter earlier and more thoroughly than the other two, so after he killed so many members of the General Manager's Office so directly, Ieiri Shoko was only surprised for a while, and then she quickly accepted it, even faster than Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

It's not that it's not surprising, it's just not that surprising - it doesn't seem like something Igarashi Yuuki would do, but it does seem like something he would do.

Of course, understanding is one thing, and hating the general manager is one thing, but as a normal sorcerer, doctor, and ordinary human being, Ieiri Shoko still does not agree with his approach.

As for the issue of "Igarashi Yuki is a lunatic", Ieiri Shoko and Geto Suguru have some small disagreements - Ieiri Shoko doesn't know why, but Geto Suguru feels that "Igarashi Yuki started to become crazy after entering the world of sorcery and becoming a sorcerer", but as far as Ieiri Shoko thinks... Yuki has been "crazy" from the beginning.

...Ah, so maybe this is one of the reasons why the three of them can become close friends? After all, they are all three of them are "crazy".

Back to the topic. A bystander can see things more clearly. Ieiri Shoko never thought that Igarashi Yuuki became "crazy" after entering technical high school. After all, that guy hadn't changed at all in these three years... She thought, maybe he just finally revealed some of his "true nature" that had been suppressed deep in his bones and never shown to others before?

Igarashi Yuuki was originally a hidden "madman". After all, Ieiri Shoko thought, who would regard "Heaven's Curse" as an ordinary person? Who would often encounter various extremely dangerous things but still think that these are very ordinary "daily life"? But Igarashi Yuuki would think so. So this guy is not an ordinary person at all!

It’s just that his “madness” is introverted and hidden deeper. It’s completely invisible at ordinary times, but once there is a dangerous moment...it will be revealed.

For example, the "astrophysical body" incident.

...Another example is the recent massacre at the Jujutsu Directors Council.

As for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, one of them didn't care about it at all, while the other one was too slow to see it because of his close relationship, which led to his slow reaction after this incident.

That guy Yuki... his core is much more stable than anyone else, and has never been shaken by anything. How could he have changed so much in these three years? Naoko Ieiri thought helplessly, how many layers of filters did that guy Geto Suguru put on Yuki when he looked at him?

However, in some places, Geto and Igarashi Yuuki are quite similar - that is, they like to blame themselves for things at certain times. For example, Ieiri Shoko still doesn't understand why Geto has the idea of ​​"what if Yuuki didn't enter the world of curse arts in the first place".

What a joke, with his spells and the cursed power in his body, even if he hadn't met Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, he would definitely become a spellcaster sooner or later and enter the world of spellcasting. Isn't this normal? Besides, there are not so many ifs in this world. Ieiri Shoko felt that Geto Suguru was making a very boring assumption without any suspense.

So, it turns out that only bystanders like her can see things more clearly. The ancients were right.

By the way, ever since Igarashi Yuki "defected", both Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, for a long time, stopped calling him by his name directly as before, and started referring to him vaguely as "that guy", which made Ieiri Naoko quite funny - why did it seem like they were trying to cover up their own faults?

Each of the two guys stubbornly said that they "didn't care", but according to Jia Ru Nishiko, they both clearly cared a lot, one more than the other.

Whether it was that he went to find Fushiguro Shigeru without giving up, brought Nanako and Mimiko back to take care of them and continued to change his name to "Igarashi", went to harass his junior Nanami Kento and Nico every day, and later became a teacher or joined the Jujutsu General Directorate... one by one, no matter how it came from, it was obvious that he cared about it to death.

Moreover, they are all trying to pretend to be calm and indifferent, which is childish to the extreme.

Geto Suguru became extremely stingy - he never shared any of the two boxes of homemade sour candies that Yuuki gave him with anyone, and he didn't even keep the candy wrappers.

Gojo Satoru has also changed a lot - he even added a "psychological chat room" to the Jujutsu High School at his own expense, and even took a part-time job there - Ieiri Shoko also remembered that Yuki had jokingly complained several times that "the world of Jujutsu not only uses child labor but also has no psychological counseling."

Ha, DK - some people must still be stubborn even after they die.

Ieiri Shoko felt that she might be the only normal person among this class of high school students.

She felt that she had no regrets - at least compared to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, she had no regrets.

Maybe there were some of them originally... But on the streets of Shibuya, when she saw "Igarashi Yuuki", all those hidden doubts, melancholy and other emotions seemed to end in the word "goodbye".

Although some things are still important, but... she got a very serious "goodbye", and more importantly, compared with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, that guy never said anything about "breaking up" to her. So, she is not much better than those two bastards who were cut off from her relationship, maybe she can still be considered a "friend" until they meet again?

That's probably enough.

...at least much better than some of my two classmates.

It's just that there will be a little bit of nostalgia and concern... Maybe it's missing the past, or maybe it's also missing someone.

But that's all there is to it.

It turns out that a bystander sees more clearly.
