What Ryoumiya Kazushu said about the remoteness was really remote.
At least Yuji Itadori never knew that there were such large forests in Tokyo.
With the notebook in his arms, he carefully followed Ryoumiya and Shu into the deep mountains and forests, and then walked... for nearly an hour.
Although considering Yuji Itadori's physical condition, it would take him an hour to walk and play, he still looked at the watch from time to time and asked Ryoumiya Kazuki how long it would take to get there.
"How long will it take...it should be soon."
The two walked for another half an hour.
"Not here yet?"
“It’s almost there.”
An hour passed.
"Are you lost?" Yuji Itadori asked with a look of despair, "We have walked back to this place three times!"
Ryoumiya Kazuki leaned against a tree, one hand on his chin, looking thoughtful: "Maybe?"
"I haven't been back for so many years, it's normal that I can't find it for a while."
When Yuji Itadori heard his righteous words, he wanted to turn around and leave for a moment.
It would take at least two more hours to get back to the technical high school. He had been out for nearly six hours. Not to mention that Naoko Ieiri woke up and found the infirmary empty, and Yuji Itadori, who was supposed to watch over the two of them, was nowhere to be seen. The class he had to attend to was enough to keep him busy.
But Yuji Itadori is Yuji Itadori after all, and the protagonist of boys' comics has always been an upright and kind little angel. He complained twice, and then continued to help Suzumiya Kazuki find a place.
"Are there any special features around your house?" Yuji Itadori looked at the lush forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, and the visibility was not as bad as he thought.
Suzumiya Kazuki thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if there are any bell orchids blooming somewhere? The blue kind."
Yuji Itadori said, "Oh," and said, "You are responsible for the left side and I am responsible for the right side."
The two of them then began to circle around in the forest again. Fortunately, they had some clues, and Yuji Itadori swept forward inch by inch, so it was not so aimless.
At this moment, he missed Fushiguro Megumi's technique. In this situation, if he released a bunch of rabbits, wouldn't it take only a few minutes to find a flower?
Soon, a flash of blue passed by, and Yuji Itadori quickly called out to Suzumiya Kazuki and pointed over there excitedly: "Is that where it is?"
Ryomiya Kazuki responded and walked over with him. He directly pulled up the bell lilies that were out of tune with the green color next to them. Then Yuji Itadori felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in another space.
The brown-red mansion is located in a green area. At the door, there is a withered cherry tree with its branches spread out crookedly, blocking the broken door. The red-painted wooden door is already a little mottled and dotted with another dark color.
An experienced person could tell at a glance that it was blood stains that had long since melted into the wood.
Yuji Itadori took a breath subconsciously and felt a slight smell of blood in the wind, which was a bit pungent, but... there seemed to be some other breath, which made him want to draw the knife at his waist.
Actually, this sword was borrowed from Mr. Gojo by Maki-senpai.
"It looks like there's no one here." Ryoumiya Kazuki showed a nostalgic expression and was the first to open the door and walk in.
Yuji Itadori hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt a chilly wind coming towards him. Yuji Itadori subconsciously drew his sword and slashed the neck of the cursed spirit that suddenly attacked him. The green-skinned cursed spirit with a strange appearance and shouting "Glory" puffed out its mouth and launched a second attack.
Suzumiya Kazuki stood aside and tilted his head: "Oh, it seems that there is just no one, or there must be something else."
Only then did Yuji Itadori remember the ability of Suzumiya Kazuki that could be called a cheat: he could not see the cursed spirits and could not be attacked by them.
He quickly shouted, "Go get the things."
"Okay, then I'll go get the props I need first, and you just be careful." Suzumiya Heshu turned around and left without saying a word.
A sorcerer will not become a cursed spirit after death, but Yuji Itadori heard from Suzumiya Wade's description that not only the elders of the Mizukami family were destroyed, but even other ordinary people did not escape.
He cut the cursed spirit in half with one sword, and watched him disappear from his sight. He took two breaths and found that he could no longer see Ryoumiya Kazuki. "Why don't we find more information and let Gojo-sensei analyze it later?" The pink-haired boy randomly chose a direction and walked towards the yard.
"Squeak--", he gently pushed open the wooden door that was somewhat detached from the door frame, revealing a spacious and tidy courtyard.
Compared to the unfading black and red color of the ground outside, this courtyard, apart from being covered with a layer of dust, looked as if it had never suffered any serious damage.
There were many flowers planted around the yard. Yuji Itadori looked for a long time but couldn't tell what those withered ones were, but the sign above told him the answer.
The childish handwriting had become blurred, and it read "Kazuki and Sosuke's little embroidery ball."
The two words "蒼介" were crossed out twice with a black pen, but they were still clearly visible.
Yuji Itadori looked up in confusion. So, this yard was where Mizukami Sosuke and Mizukami Kazuki used to live?
His curiosity and desire to explore were instantly aroused. He walked around the yard and found two swings in the backyard. One of them had been removed, leaving only an empty piece of wood lying on it.
It seems that after "Sousuke" was sent away and only "Washu" was left, the courtyard that originally belonged to the two brothers was also renovated, leaving only traces of one person.
Yuji Itadori sighed. He was not familiar with Mizukami Sosuke and didn't know what his personality was like, but he believed that he would be very lonely after being left alone, especially having to continue living in a place without any brothers.
Looking at the remote location of Shuishang’s house and the pitifully small number of people there, after getting used to having someone to accompany me, I’m afraid I’ll be swallowed up by loneliness if I live here alone.
No wonder Mizukami Sosuke is still obsessed with his brother and wants to exchange his life for him even after so many years.
The house in the yard is of traditional Japanese style, with a long wooden corridor and thin sliding doors. A purple wind chime is hung on the door, but without wind, no sound can be made.
After observing the yard, Yuji Itadori opened the door of the room and walked in.
"Do you think he will come to our yard?"
A small sound suddenly came towards him along with the breath in the house. Yuji Itadori subconsciously drew his weapon and prepared to fight the cursed spirit, but saw nothing.
"I think so... After all, we are his brothers, right?"
Another childish voice was heard coming from the next room.
Yuji Itadori walked over carefully with a knife in hand, but saw two small figures sitting side by side by the window, seemingly folding paper cranes in their hands.
Yuji Itadori said subconsciously: "Excuse me--"
Neither of the two children turned their heads. They put the stacked paper cranes together. The purple and green paper cranes had already piled up more than half on the table next to them.
"Brother, I don't want to see him." The child sitting on the left suddenly hugged the shoulders of the child on the right and said sullenly, "Ahem, having a brother is enough for me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've heard from my father that Brother Cheye is a very gentle and kind person." The child on the right rubbed his head. "Shouldn't you put on an extra coat? Why are you catching a cold again?"
"No! I was just bitten by the pollen!"
Yuji Itadori walked over and wanted to pat them on the shoulders, but hit nothing.
The two people before me seemed to be just an image from a time in the past that could not be reversed.
He glanced sideways from the window. The two children had extremely similar faces, except that one had black eyes and the other had red eyes.
As expected, is this an image of Ryomiya Kazuki and Mizukami Sosuke when they were children?
Yuji Itadori looked around curiously, having no idea how this worked.
But he roughly understood that these things had happened before, and although he was in the middle of it, he could not change it.
The child on the left has red eyes, so he must be Sosuke; the one on the right has black eyes, so he must be Ryomiya Kazuki, whom he knows.
Yuji Itadori acknowledged it and planned to continue squatting and listening to their conversation.
Shui Shang Che should have returned home by this time, but the two of them seemed to have never met before.
The paper in young Sosuke's hand was light green, like a newly sprouted bud; while Kazuki's paper was dark purple, like his gem.
The two of them talked from "It rained this morning, so the sunny doll is useless" to "The hydrangeas in the yard are about to bloom", and then the topic circled back to Mizukami Cheya.
"Now that he's back, the head of our family should be Brother Cheye, right? Then, brother, do you not have to report to father so early every day?"
Mizukami Sosuke finished folding the papers in his hand, flexed his fingers, and then took the few extra sheets from Mizukami and Itsuki and continued stacking them.
Shui Shang and Shu followed his movements and chuckled: "Father didn't tell me not to go, so of course I still have to go. Besides... we can't predict what will happen next."
Yuji Itadori saw his eyes suddenly turn red for a moment, but turned back to innocent black the moment Sosuke raised his head.
"Well, anyway, I don't want you to go again. Being the head of a family is so tiring. There are so many things to clean up every day, and you have to deal with various tasks, practice martial arts, and manage the business..."
"That's not an assignment, it's just a report that needs to be approved." Shui Shanghe Shu corrected him, "Actually there aren't that many things. The elders will help screen out some of them first."
Mizukami Sosuke made a cross on his chest to protest: "It's troublesome anyway!"
"Besides, there are only three of us in our family. It won't be that fast for Brother Cheye to have many children, right?"
"You can do it later, Sosuke."
"No way!" Sosuke said loudly, "You are my only brother, and I don't want anyone else. I am your only brother."
He Shu said calmly: "Okay."
"Also, the title of Patriarch is not good at all. I wouldn't accept it even if it was given to me for free. Brother, don't go there in the future. Just give it to Brother Cheye."
Mizukami and Shu finished folding the last piece of paper and said with a smile, "I understand."
Yuji Itadori thought about his answers. The first one was "Okay", but the second one was "Got it" which left no answer. Does this mean that Mizukami Kazuki still had some ideas about the position of the head of the family at that time?
Since his ability is predictive, he must have anticipated what would happen next. So why didn't he tell Sosuke the truth?
And there was Mizukami Sosuke, who had vowed that he could never be the head of the family, but in the end he was the one left behind...
Yuji Itadori was lost in thought when he heard a knock on the door outside.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Sousuke, Kazuki, can I come in?"
