Chapter 126
When Kazuma Hato and Satoru Gojo sang "FIND" again, their feelings were completely different from before.
Amidst the tempestuous chorus, Kazuma Hatori's increasingly firm and clear response rang out—they had found each other.
"I will put together the shattered golden core——"
He will piece together that shattered, golden heart.
Even if Satoru cannot recover his memories from the first timeline, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if Satoru doesn't remember the past from the first timeline.
He still remembers how Wu was ostracized, shunned, and feared afterward, yet he still smiled and casually said there was nothing he could do about it.
He will change the future that has not yet happened, and he will piece together that broken, golden heart that no one cared about.
Until everything finally settled down—
"No longer broken...like before."
(No longer broken... just like in the beginning.)
As Kazuma Hato sang the last line of the song softly and slowly, this five-minute superstar journey came to a complete end.
[Current hidden quest: Junko Arasena's Invitation, completed.]
[Reward: Obtain the spell item [Eight-Phase Wheel Card].]
"I'm so dizzy, my brain has completely shut down..."
Maintaining an overly confident and dashing smile until leaving the stage, Gojo Satoru immediately leaned on Hato Kazuma's shoulder, mumbling a complaint, his eyes barely open.
"What's wrong??"
Kazuma Hato quickly supported him, took the microphone from Satoru, and handed it to the staff member next to him, along with his own. He kept looking at Satoru Gojo, whose expression seemed even more nervous than before he went on stage.
The staff member next to him quickly handed him a bottle of water and put his hand on the walkie-talkie, ready to call for a stretcher to carry him at any time.
"Is she so nervous that she's gesticulating, or is the light too bright? Should we call an ambulance?"
To prevent accidents during such large-scale concerts, several ambulances are usually arranged to wait outside the venue in advance.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this is my first time at such a large concert. I feel dizzy and weak after singing."
Gojo Satoru tried his best to reassure the staff, and then nudged Hagoromo Kazuma with his elbow, signaling him to hurry up and take him away.
Hagoromo understood perfectly and half-carried, half-helped Gojo Satoru to the lounge, where he lay down on the not-so-long sofa.
"……call."
After a while, Gojo Satoru finally recovered from his listless state.
"I got so excited just now that I took off my sunglasses, thinking it was nothing serious."
He tilted his head and explained in a wistful tone, as if to say, "Oh, I didn't expect that either."
"As you know, my [Six Eyes] was activated passively, and ordinary people also have cursed power in their bodies... Oh no, my field of vision just now was densely packed with cursed power, and the garbage information automatically analyzed kept pouring into my brain like a flood..."
It's impressive that he could stay focused until the end of the song before letting his brain shut down.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that his ability to sing the entire song without going off-key, relying solely on his muscle memory, is truly amazing!
Unfortunately, he took off his sunglasses himself, and then put them back on halfway through the song, which made him look really bad.
call.
Singing is not easy, Xiao Wu sighed.
"After all, this is the first time that Wu has been watched by tens of thousands of people, and he has no experience in dealing with it."
Kazuma Hatori pulled the chair closer, his cool fingertips brushing aside the other's bangs so that his entire palm could press against the other's forehead.
Are you feeling better now?
Surrounded by that warmth, Gojo Satoru slowly closed his azure eyes for a moment, then opened them with a smile and winked at him.
"Full of energy!"
Kazuma Hatake smiled too—in that instant, he suddenly wanted to kiss him.
So he bent down and actually did it.
Gojo Satoru widened his pale eyes slightly, but merely extended his hand without refusing.
They embraced intimately in this tiny universe where only the two of them existed.
…………
After that grand birthday celebration for Gojo Satoru, life returned to normal.
Kazuma Hatori and Satoru Gojo still need to attend classes, patrol, and exorcise cursed spirits every day, living as extraordinary high school students and sorcerers specializing in sorcery.
There are some differences compared to before. For example, when they are not so busy, they will go to places where there are fewer people to go on dates.
Even if they spend an afternoon fishing by the river with candy and cake, they are still extremely happy.
Xia Youjie and Ieiri Shoko often give these two a level-up [I can't bear to look] expression; but sometimes they will deliberately take on some tasks so that the two's rest time can match.
As for the reward for finishing that concert—the [Eight-Session Wheel Card]—Hatori Kazuma was unable to test its effects.
Because this is a support card, it cannot be used in combat.
It's probably a hidden quest that's unrelated to combat or the main storyline, and its function is quite useless.
[[Eight-Phase Wheel Card]: Consumes a certain amount of spell power to simulate the appearance of the caster as one of the eight phases that the player has inlaid on the card. The amount of spell power consumed determines the duration of the alteration.]
Please note that once the player selects one of the eight elements, it cannot be changed.
Please note that appearance simulation does not change the target's attack skills or attributes.
Judging from the description, it's probably just a card that allows you to change your appearance and switch identities, without any combat attribute bonuses.
Kazuma Hatake flipped his wrist back and forth to examine the card. After confirming that the card, with its intricately patterned edges and a blank silhouette of a person in the center, had no further effects, he put it back into his inventory.
Even the appearance simulation only has eight slots available, so he has to choose carefully.
No wonder it's a reward for being a "half-singer"; compared to super useful combat tools like [Karma Double], it's practically harmless.
After some time, Gojo Satoru specifically asked Yogami Masamichi about Fushiguro Megumi's situation.
It would have been a simple favor, but now that he knows the cub is very likely related to the Zen family by blood, he can't help but care.
[Ten Shadow Techniques], these are ancestral techniques that no one in the entire Zen family has inherited yet!
The current head of the Zenin family, including the arrogant Zenin Naoya, has only awakened the [Projection Spell], which only emerged in modern times, rather than the [Ten Shadow Spells], which have been passed down for hundreds of years like the [No Limit] technique.
Perhaps [Projection Spells] are also very strong, but compared to [Ten Shadow Spells], which can rival [Six Eyes] + [No Limits], they are still worlds apart.
However, it was difficult for Gojo Satoru to arrange for someone to investigate, and he couldn't even reveal the technique that Fushiguro Megumi would awaken in the future.
Although the siblings' lives are not easy right now, if Fushiguro Megumi is taken back by the Zenin family, Fushiguro Tsuki, as an ordinary person, will be left alone outside the world of jutsu, completely losing her last family member.
Gojo Satoru felt that this was probably not the outcome Fushiguro Megumi wanted to see.
Therefore, Gojo Satoru didn't tell anyone about this—he even told Hato Kazuma not to tell anyone either—he just showed ordinary concern for the young sorcerer he had found.
"Is it that boy named Fushiguro Megumi? I've already sent the more composed Furui to contact him."
Night Moth Zhengdao rubbed his temples, feeling that this kid in front of him would shorten his lifespan by three years.
"Next time you want to help them, at least give me a heads-up! This is a four or five-year-old child, who hasn't even started first grade yet... Honestly, it's not easy to get him to work part-time. Luckily, he's much more mature than expected."
"And your follow-up ridiculous demands, like not letting anyone else at the college know, and only reaching an agreement with the other party in private... Why don't you just let me pay his salary out of my own pocket?"
If it weren't for the fact that they were genuinely struggling financially, Moth would have refused such absurd additional conditions.
Wouldn't it be faster to arrange several years of financial assistance first, using it as a guarantee for future employment at a vocational college?
Masamichi Yagami considered the plan beforehand, but ultimately rejected it with a sigh—he understood the underlying meaning behind Gojo Satoru's insistence on having Fushiguro Megumi do a part-time job.
We must not use our current hardships as an excuse to prematurely jeopardize the child's future.
"Wow, so Ms. Moth did it, right? That's amazing!"
Gojo Satoru's expression was bright and sparkling as he used his bright, blinking blue eyes and a ton of compliments to Yomotsu-sensei, who had been working so hard.
Moth said, “Speaking of which, I just remembered…you kid, how about you explain what ‘you’re on a date with Kazuma’ means first?”
Gojo Satoru, realizing he had let something slip on the phone, remained silent for a moment.
"Hey—Ichima and I are rushing to catch the Shinkansen to Kamakura for New Year's, so we don't have time to explain to Yoga-sensei—"
Moth said sternly, "...Don't try to change the subject!"
Letting Shoko and Jaden know about their relationship with Kazuma is a completely different matter from letting Yagami-sensei know about their relationship...!
Gojou suddenly realized what was happening, grabbed Hatake Kazuma, and ran.
"Time to go! Bye-bye!"
Kazuma Hatori followed, a low chuckle escaping his throat.
Behind him, Moth Masakazu was still angrily clenching his fist.
"Come back here! Hey!"
"But they won't stop," Gojo Satoru said with a smile, turning his head to make a sly face at Yomo-sensei.
—After all, they were really about to set off for Kamakura.
